STAAR SURGICAL COMPANY

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (CONTINUED)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company present the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of STAAR Surgical Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Commission. In accordance with those rules and regulations certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the Comprehensive Financial Statements have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of January 3, 2020 was derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all the information and footnotes required by GAAP. These 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 year ended January 3, 2020.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three and six months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The results of operations for the three and six months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.

Each of the Company’s fiscal reporting periods ends on the Friday nearest to the quarter ending date and generally consists of 13 weeks. Unless the context indicates otherwise “we,” “us,” the “Company,” and “STAAR” refer to STAAR Surgical Company and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Vendor Concentration

There were two vendors which accounted for over 27% of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable as of July 3, 2020. There was one vendor which accounted for over 11% of the Company’s consolidated accounts payable as of January 3, 2020. There were no vendors who accounted for over 10% of the Company’s consolidated purchases for the three months ended July 3, 2020. There were three vendors who accounted for over 43% of the Company’s consolidated purchases for the six months ended July 3, 2020.

Use of Estimates

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company believes it has used reasonable estimates and assumptions in determining valuation allowances for uncollectible trade receivables, sales returns reserves, obsolete and excess inventory reserves, deferred income taxes, and tax reserves, including valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, pension liabilities, evaluation of asset impairment, in determining the useful life of depreciable and definite-lived intangible assets, and in the variables and assumptions used to calculate and record stock-based compensation. During the quarter ended July 3, 2020, the Company has experienced some delays in customer payments but is unaware of any material impairment of customer receivables. The Company’s sales representatives throughout the world remain engaged with customers conducting online training and other educational courses which have been very well attended. This activity has given the Company insight as to the impact to customers of COVID-19 and potential impairment of receivables.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

On January 4, 2020 (beginning of fiscal year 2020), the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016‑13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which (i) significantly changes the impairment model for most financial assets that are measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments from an incurred loss model to an expected loss model; and (ii) provides for recording credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities through an allowance account. ASU 2016-13 also requires certain incremental disclosures. Subsequently, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, ASU 2019-05, ASU 2020-02 and ASU 2020-03 to clarify and improve ASU 2016-13. The adoption of ASU 2016-13 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On January 4, 2020 (beginning of fiscal year 2020), the Company adopted ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which modifies certain disclosures requirements for reporting fair value measurements. The adoption of ASU 2018-13 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted (Continued)

On January 4, 2020 (beginning of fiscal year 2020), the Company adopted ASU 2018-14, “Compensation – Retirement Benefits – Defined Benefit Plans – General (Subtopic 715-20); Disclosure Framework – Changes in the Disclosure Requirement for Defined Benefit Plans,” which modifies disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other post retirement plans. The adoption of ASU 2018-14 did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” ASU 2019-12 removes the following exceptions: exception to the incremental approach for intra period tax allocation; exception to accounting for basis differences when there are ownership changes in foreign investments; and exception to interim period tax accounting for year to date losses that exceed anticipated losses. ASU 2019-12 also improves financial reporting for franchise taxes that are partially based on income; transactions with a government that result in a step up in the tax basis of goodwill; separate financial statements of legal entities that are not subject to tax; and enacted changes in tax laws in interim periods. ASU 2019-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company will adopt this standard as of January 2, 2021 (beginning of fiscal year 2021) and is currently evaluating the disclosure requirements and its effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 7 – Lines of Credit

Since 1998, the Company’s wholly owned Japanese subsidiary, STAAR Japan, has had an agreement with Mizuho Bank which provides for borrowings of up to 500,000,000 Yen, at an interest rate equal to the uncollateralized overnight call rate (approximately 0.06% as of July 3, 2020) plus a 0.50% spread, and may be renewed quarterly (the current line expires on August 21, 2020). The credit facility is not collateralized. The Company had 142,500,000 Yen and 197,500,000 Yen outstanding on the line of credit as of July 3, 2020 and January 3, 2020, respectively (approximately $1,325,000 and $1,827,000 based on the foreign exchange rates on July 3, 2020 and January 3, 2020, respectively), which approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity and market interest rates of the line of credit. In case of default, the interest rate will be increased to 14% per annum. There was 357,500,000 Yen and 302,500,000 Yen available for borrowing as of July 3, 2020 and January 3, 2020, respectively (approximately $3,325,000 and $2,798,000 based on the foreign exchange rate on July 3, 2020 and January 3, 2020, respectively).

Operating Leases

The Company entered into operating leases primarily related to real property (office, manufacturing and warehouse facilities), automobiles and copiers. These operating leases are two to five years in length with options to extend. The Company did not include any lease extensions in the initial valuation unless the Company was reasonably certain to extend the lease. Depending on the lease, there are those with fixed payment amounts for the entire length of the contract or payments which increase periodically as noted in the contract or increased at an inflation rate indicator.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax provision (benefit) as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	July 3, 2020		June 28, 2019		July 3, 2020			June 28, 2019
Provision (benefit) for income taxes	$	556	$	1,131	$	(602	)	$	1,620

The Company recorded income taxes of $556,000 and $1,131,000 for the three months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively, primarily due to pre-tax income generated in certain foreign jurisdictions. Also included in the three months ended June 28, 2019 were withholding taxes on foreign operations. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $602,000 for the six months ended July 3, 2020 due to the income tax benefit from the release of its U.S. valuation allowance, offset by income tax expense from profits generated from its foreign operations. The Company recorded income taxes of $1,620,000 for the six months ended June 28, 2019, primarily due to pre-tax income generated in certain foreign jurisdictions and withholding taxes on foreign operations. The Company’s quarterly provision for income taxes is determined by estimating an annual effective tax rate. This estimate may fluctuate throughout the year as new information becomes available affecting its underlying assumptions. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company reversed all previously recorded withholding taxes recorded for 2019, at which time the Company formed STAAR Surgical UK Limited as a holding company for its foreign operations. Based on the current tax treaties between the U.S., United Kingdom and Switzerland, the Company will no longer accrue for Switzerland withholding taxes on foreign earnings after fiscal 2018 (see also Note 10 in its fiscal 2019 Form 10-K for more information). There are 0 unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions taken by the Company. All earnings from the Company’s subsidiaries are not considered to be permanently reinvested.

The 2017 Tax Act subjects a U.S. shareholder to tax on Global Intangible Low Tax Income (“GILTI”) earned by certain foreign subsidiaries. In general, GILTI is the excess of a U.S. shareholder’s total net foreign income over a deemed return on tangible assets. The provision further allows a deduction of 50 percent of GILTI, however this deduction is limited by the Company’s U.S. taxable income. The Company has elected to account for GILTI as a current period expense when incurred.

For the three and six months ended July 3, 2020, the Company included GILTI of $4,137,000 and $5,400,000, respectively, and for the three and six months ended June 28, 2019, included GILTI of $5,635,000 and $7,699,000, respectively, in U.S. gross income, which was fully offset by net operating loss carryforwards. The Company was not able to utilize the deduction of 50 percent of GILTI, as this deduction is limited by the Company’s pre-GILTI U.S. taxable income.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future generation of income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. Management considers the projected future income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. As of fiscal year end 2019, the Company had three years of accumulated profits for federal income tax purposes as a result of GILTI. However, the three-year income position is not solely determinative and, accordingly, management considers all other available positive and negative evidence in its analysis. This includes existing profits in foreign jurisdiction as well as projected future profits. As further described in Notes 1 and 10 of the Company’s fiscal 2019 Form 10-K, under the “incremental cash tax savings approach,” the Company recorded a valuation allowance release of $3,003,000 and $373,000 against the federal and certain states deferred tax assets, respectively. During the six months ended July 3, 2020, the Company revised its global forecasts as a result of COVID-19, and released an additional $1,369,000 of valuation allowance. As of July 3, 2020, the Company released approximately $4,745,000 of valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in the U.S. jurisdiction utilizing the incremental cash tax savings approach.

Under the incremental cash tax savings approach, the U.S. valuation allowances of $36,530,000, will remain as the usage of the remaining net operating losses and deferred tax assets will not result in cash tax savings and therefore provide no additional benefit. As of July 3, 2020, the Company had net deferred tax assets in the U.S. of $4,881,000, which consisted of the federal and state valuation allowance release of $4,439,000 and $306,000, respectively, and the refundable alternative minimum tax credit of $136,000.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was enacted and signed into law. The Company reviewed the provisions of the CARES Act, but does not expect it to have a material impact to its tax provision (also see note 15).

Note 9 — Income Taxes (Continued)

On July 20, the U.S. Treasury issued final regulations for addressing the treatment of foreign income that is subject to a high rate of foreign tax (the GILTI high-tax exclusion). The final regulations allow companies to exclude certain high-taxed income from their GILTI calculation. The GILTI high-tax exclusion applies if the effective foreign tax rate is 90% or more of the rate that would apply if the income were subject to the maximum US rate of tax specified in section 11 (currently 18.9%, based on a maximum rate of 21%). The final regulations also provide that the GILTI high-tax exclusion is an annual election made each year and is retroactive to years beginning after December 31, 2017. As the regulations were finalized on July 20, 2020, after the current reporting period, the impact if any on the financial statements will be reported in the third quarter. Management is currently evaluating the effect if any this election would have on their financial statements.

Incentive Plan

The Amended and Restated Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) provides for various forms of stock-based incentives. To date, of the available forms of awards under the Plan, the Company has granted only stock options, restricted stock, unrestricted share grants, and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). Options under the Plan are granted at fair market value on the date of grant, become exercisable generally over a three-year period, or as determined by the Board of Directors, and expire over periods not exceeding 10 years from the date of grant. Certain option and share awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control and pre-established financial metrics are met (as defined in the Plan). Grants of restricted stock outstanding under the Plan generally vest over periods of one to three years. Grants of RSUs outstanding under the Plan generally vest based on service, performance, or a combination of both. As of July 3, 2020, there were 842,975 shares available for grant under the Plan

Assumptions

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option valuation model applying the weighted-average assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The expected term of options granted is derived from the historical exercises and post-vesting cancellations and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company has calculated an 6% estimated forfeiture rate based on historical forfeiture experience. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve corresponding to the expected term at the time of the grant.

Note 15 — COVID-19 and CARES Act Developments

In December 2019, COVID-19 surfaced and in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared a pandemic related to the rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world. The impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the businesses and the economy in the U.S. and the rest of the world is, and is expected to continue to be, uncertain and may be significant. Accordingly, the Company cannot predict the extent to which its financial condition and results of operation will be affected. On March 17, 2020, the Company suspended most of its production and non-essential business locations where employees can work from home. A very limited number of manufacturing personnel remained at work for critical late staged processes, until the end of March 2020. Manufacturing resumed on April 27, 2020. The Company’s revenues have been adversely impacted, as customers in China were not able to carry out procedures during the month of February and the Company experienced a substantial slowdown in sales beginning March 20, 2020 in global geographies characterized as “hot spots” for the COVID 19 virus, including parts of Europe and North America. In certain of these markets, sales have paused as elective surgeries are discouraged to support COVID-19 related needs. The Company expects decreases in sales in certain geographies to continue through the remainder of 2020 as different geographies resume business activities on differing timelines.

The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company did not apply for or require financing available under the CARES Act and does not expect to do so given the strength of our balance sheet. The Company will continue to monitor the impact that the CARES Act may have on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

In particular, these include statements about any of the following: any projections of or guidance as to earnings, revenue, sales, profit margins, expense rate, cash, effective tax rate, capital expense or any other financial items; the expected impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures (including but not limited to their impact on sales, operations or clinical trials globally), the plans, strategies, and objectives of management for future operations or prospects for achieving such plans; statements regarding new, existing, or improved products, including but not limited to, expectations for success of new, existing, and improved products in the U.S. or international markets or government approval of a new or improved products (including the EVO family of lenses in the U.S. and the EDOF ICL for presbyopia internationally); commercialization of new or improved products; future economic conditions or size of market opportunities; expected costs of operations; statements of belief, including as to achieving 2020 business plans; expected regulatory activities and approvals, product launches, and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements are inherently subject to risks and we can give no assurance that our expectations will prove to be correct. Actual results could differ from those described in this report because of numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, without limitation, risks and uncertainties related to the COVID-19 pandemic and related public health measures, and those described in in our Annual Report on Form 10-K in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” filed on February 26, 2020, as well as the updated risk factor disclosed herein. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements after the date of this report to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect actual outcomes.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of STAAR, including the related notes, provided in this report.

Overview

STAAR Surgical Company designs, develops, manufactures, and sells implantable lenses for the eye and companion delivery systems used to deliver the lenses into the eye. We are the world’s leading manufacturer of intraocular lenses for patients seeking refractive vision correction, and we also make lenses for use in surgery to treat cataracts. All the lenses we make are foldable, which allows the surgeon to insert them into the eye through a small incision during minimally invasive surgery. Refractive surgery is performed to treat the type of visual disorders that have traditionally been corrected using eyeglasses or contact lenses. We refer to our lenses used in refractive surgery as “implantable Collamer® lenses” or “ICLs.” The field of refractive surgery includes both lens-based procedures, using products like our ICL family of products, and laser-based procedures like LASIK. Successful refractive surgery can correct common vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Cataract surgery is a common outpatient procedure where the eye’s natural lens that has become cloudy with age is removed and replaced with an artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL) to restore the patient’s vision. STAAR employs a commercialization strategy that strives for sustainable profitable growth. Our goal is to position our refractive lenses throughout the world as primary and premium solutions for patients seeking visual freedom from wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses while achieving excellent visual acuity through refractive vision correction. We position our IOL lenses used in surgery that treats cataracts based on quality and value.

Recent Developments

While refractive procedures were down significantly or came to a halt in April and May in much of North America, Europe, Latin America, India and the Middle East, continuing recovery and growth were recorded in Japan, Korea and China. The positive trending continued in July with China experiencing stronger than anticipated demand as the peak season began in earnest. While COVID-19 hotspots and government public health mandates may reoccur moving forward, we anticipate less business interruption and continued increased interest in our EVO ICL lens-based refractive solutions in the third and fourth quarter of 2020. We also continue to believe that we will achieve a 20% share of the refractive procedure market in China by the end of the year. Assuming significant COVID-19 hotspots and government public health mandates do not reoccur and global economic improvement progresses, our outlook for the third quarter of 2020 currently anticipates a sequential revenue increase of over 20% from our second quarter of 2020 results which would then result in year-over-year double digit growth. Also, we currently expect fourth quarter of 2020 revenue will be similar to third quarter of 2020.

We resumed production at our California manufacturing facilities on April 27, 2020 and anticipate that we will be able to meet the demand for both our Spheric and Toric EVO lenses through the remainder of 2020. We are moving forward with our plans to restart manufacturing in our Nidau, Switzerland facility in 2021. With respect to our U.S. clinical trial for our EVO family of myopia lenses, assuming no material change in the current operating environment we anticipate that we will complete enrollment in the trial by the end of September. Considering the subsequent six-month patient follow-up and time to prepare our data submission to the FDA, we believe we are on track for potential marketing approval and commercialization of EVO in the U.S. in the second half of 2021.

As previously disclosed, we received on July 2, 2020, CE Mark approval for our extended depth of focus or EDOF presbyopia lens, EVO Viva, that is designed to correct near, intermediate and distance vision. We will commence a phased-rollout beginning in Spain, Belgium and Germany. We anticipate the first implants will occur in September following physician training and certification.

Critical Accounting Policies

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses and analyzes data in our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements provided in this report, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of these estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Actual conditions may differ from our assumptions and actual results may differ from our estimates.

An accounting policy is deemed critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the six months ended July 3, 2020 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2020.

Net sales	$	35,194	$	39,664		(11.3	)%	$	70,381	$	72,247		(2.6	)%

Net sales for the three months ended July 3, 2020 were $35.2 million, a decrease of 11% from $39.7 million reported during the same period of 2019. The decrease in net sales was due to decreases in ICL sales of $3.7 million and other product sales of $0.8 million.

Net sales for the six months ended July 3, 2020 were $70.4 million, a decrease of 3% from $72.2 million reported during the same period of 2019. The decrease in net sales was due to a decrease in ICL sales of $2.2 million, partially offset by an increase in other product sales of $0.3 million.

Total ICL sales for the three months ended July 3, 2020 were $30.7 million, a decrease of 11% from $34.4 million reported for the same period of 2019, with unit decrease of 3%. The Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America region sales decreased 30% with unit decrease of 31%. The North America region sales decreased 55%, with unit decrease of 56%. The decrease in both these regions were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic when markets started to reopen in mid-May/early June. The APAC region sales decreased by 2%, with unit growth up 5% due to unit growth in Japan up 39%, Korea up 16% and China up 6%. ICL sales represented 87.3% and 86.8% of our total sales for the three months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively.

Total ICL sales for the six months ended July 3, 2020 were $60.1 million, a 4% decrease from $62.2 million reported for the same period of 2019, with unit growth up 2%. The Europe, Middle East, Africa and Latin America region sales and units decreased 17%. The North America region sales and units decreased 32%. The decrease in both these regions were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic when markets started to reopen in mid-May/early June. The APAC region sales increased by 3%, with unit growth up 8% due to unit growth in Japan up 58%, Korea up 15% and China up 7%. ICL sales represented 85.3% and 86.1% of our total sales for the six months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively.

Other product sales, including IOLs were $4.5 million for the three months ended July 3, 2020, a decrease of 15% from $5.2 million reported for the same period of 2019. The decrease is due to a decrease in IOL sales, partially offset by an increase in preloaded injector part sales to a third-party manufacturer for product they sell to their customers. Other product sales were $10.3 million for the six months ended July 3, 2020, an increase of 3% from $10.0 million reported for the same period of 2019. The increase is due to an increase in preloaded injector part sales to a third-party manufacturer for product they sell to their customers, offset by a decrease in IOL sales. Other product sales represented 12.7% and 13.2% of our total sales for the three months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively, and represented 14.7% and 13.9% of our total sales for the six months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively.

Gross margin		69.4	%		75.4	%					69.9	%		74.9	%

Gross profit for the three months ended July 3, 2020 was $24.4 million, an 18.3% decrease compared to the $29.9 million reported for the same period of 2019. Gross profit margin decreased to 69.4% of revenue for the three months ended July 3, 2020 compared to 75.4% of revenue for the three months ended June 28, 2019, due to geographic sales mix, $1.0 million in expenses related to the COVID-19 manufacturing pause from April 4 through April 27, 2020, period costs associated with the manufacturing expansion projects, and increased mix of injector part sales which carry a lower margin.

Gross profit for the six months ended July 3, 2020 was $49.2 million, a 9.0% decrease compared to the $54.1 million reported for the same period of 2019. Gross profit margin decreased to 69.9% of revenue for the six months ended July 3, 2020 compared to 74.9% of revenue for the three months ended June 28, 2019, due primarily to geographic sales mix, $1.2 million in expenses related to the COVID-19 manufacturing pause from March 17 through April 27, 2020, period costs associated with the manufacturing expansion projects and increased mix of injector part sales which carry a lower margin.

General and Administrative Expense

	Three Months Ended						Percentage Change			Six Months Ended						Percentage Change
	July 3, 2020			June 28, 2019			2020 vs. 2019			July 3, 2020			June 28, 2019			2020 vs. 2019

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 3, 2020 were $7.8 million, a 4.5% increase compared to the $7.5 million reported for the same period of 2019. General and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 3, 2020 were $15.8 million, a 10.3% increase compared to the $14.3 million reported for the same period of 2019. The increase in general and administrative expenses for both periods was due to an increase in headcount and salary-related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in variable compensation and travel expenses, and for the six months also due to increased tax consulting and facilities costs.

Marketing and Selling Expense

	Three Months Ended						Percentage Change			Six Months Ended						Percentage Change
	July 3, 2020			June 28, 2019			2020 vs. 2019			July 3, 2020			June 28, 2019			2020 vs. 2019

Percentage of sales		29.3	%		29.5	%					30.3	%		30.2	%

Marketing and selling expenses for the three months ended July 3, 2020 were $10.3 million, a 11.6% decrease compared to the $11.7 million reported for the same period of 2019. The decrease in marketing and selling expenses was due to decreased trade show expenses and travel expenses, partially offset by increased advertising and promotional activities.

Marketing and selling expenses for the six months ended July 3, 2020 were $21.4 million, a 2.2% decrease compared to the $21.8 million reported for the same period of 2019. The decrease in marketing and selling expenses was due to decreased trade show expenses and travel expenses, partially offset by increased advertising, promotional activities and salary-related expenses.

Research and Development Expense

	Three Months Ended						Percentage Change			Six Months Ended						Percentage Change
	July 3, 2020			June 28, 2019			2020 vs. 2019			July 3, 2020			June 28, 2019			2020 vs. 2019

We recorded income taxes of $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively, primarily due to pre-tax income generated in certain foreign jurisdictions. Also for the three months ended June 28, 2019 withholding taxes on foreign operations. We recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2020 due to the income tax benefit from the release of our U.S. valuation allowances, offset by income tax expense from profits generated by our foreign operations. We recorded income taxes of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019 primarily due to pre-tax income generated in certain foreign jurisdictions and withholding taxes on foreign operations. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2019, we reversed all previously recorded withholding taxes recorded for 2019, at which time we formed STAAR Surgical UK Limited as a holding company for our foreign operations. Based on the current tax treaties between the U.S., United Kingdom and Switzerland, we will no longer accrue for Switzerland withholding taxes on foreign earnings after fiscal 2018 (see also Note 10 in our fiscal 2019 Form 10-K for more information). We have no unrecognized tax benefits pertaining to any uncertain tax positions as of any period presented.

ASC 740 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset may not be realizable. As further described in Notes 1 and 10 of our fiscal 2019 Form 10-K, under the “incremental cash tax savings approach,” we recorded a valuation release of $3.0 million and $0.4 million against federal and certain states deferred tax assets, respectively. During the six months ended July 3, 2020, we revised our global forecasts as a result of COVID-19, and released an additional $1.4 million of valuation allowance. As of July 3, 2020, we released approximately $4.9 million of valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets in the U.S. jurisdiction utilizing the incremental cash tax savings approach. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future generation of income during the periods in which temporary differences representing net future deductible amounts become deductible. We considered the projected future income, tax planning strategies and all other available evidence both positive and negative, as well as results of recent operations in making this assessment. In applying the incremental cash tax savings approach, we will continue to maintain a valuation allowance on the balance of the Company’s net U.S. deferred tax assets of $36.5 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that current cash, cash equivalents and future cash flow from operating activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital needs, capital expenditures and contractual obligations for at least 12 months from the issuance date of the financial statements included in this quarterly report. We have experienced some delays in payments on accounts receivable as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic but expect this to improve during the third quarter of 2020 as our customers resume elective refractive surgery. This has had a temporary impact on our working capital. However, at this time we are unaware of any impairment of assets resulting from the COVID19 pandemic. The Company did not apply for or require financing available under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security “CARES” Act and

does not expect to do so given the strength of our balance sheet. Our financial condition at July 3, 2020 and January 3, 2020 included the following (in millions):

	July 3, 2020		January 3, 2020		2020 vs. 2019
Cash and cash equivalents	$	116.3	$	120.0	$	(3.7	)
Current assets	$	182.5	$	174.7	$	7.8
Current liabilities		31.6		34.5		(2.9	)
Working capital	$	150.9	$	140.2	$	10.7

We invest the net proceeds in short-term interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. Additionally, at July 3, 2020, we have a line of credit with a Japanese lender, in the amount of $1.3 million, with $3.3 million of availability and a line of credit with a Swiss lender, in the amount of $1.1 million, which is fully available for borrowing.

Net cash used in operating activities was $8.2 million for the six months ended July 3, 2020 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended July 3, 2020, consisted of $14.7 million in working-capital changes and a $1.3 million net loss, offset by $7.8 in non-cash items. The change in net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended July 3, 2020 was due to a decrease in net working capital of $5.0 million, a decrease of $0.8 million in non-cash items and the net loss of $1.3 million during the six months ended July 3, 2020 compared to net income of $5.3 million during the six months ended June 28, 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities was $4.2 million and $4.6 million for the six months ended July 3, 2020 and June 28, 2019, respectively, and relate primarily to the acquisition of property, plant, and equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $8.7 million for the six months ended July 3, 2020 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 28, 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended July 3, 2020 consisted of $9.6 million of proceeds from the exercise of stock options, offset by $0.5 million repayment on the Japan line of credit and $0.3 million repayment of finance lease obligations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as that term is defined in the rules of the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

During the six months ended July 3, 2020, there have been no material changes in the Company’s qualitative and quantitative market risk since the disclosure in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 3, 2020.

ITEM 4.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. For purposes of this statement, the term “disclosure controls and procedures” means controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seq.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the CEO and the CFO, do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud or material errors. An internal 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 on all internal control systems, our internal control system can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving its objectives and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 3, 2020 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and other matters arising in the normal course of business.
