NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

(1) The unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Utah Medical Products, Inc. ("UTMD" or "the Company") annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to summarize fairly the Company's financial position and results of operations. Currency amounts are in thousands except per-share amounts, and where noted.

(2) Inventories at September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consisted of the following:

Raw materials		1,936		1,692
Total	$	4,707	$	5,005

(3) Stock-Based Compensation. At September 30, 2012, the Company has stock-based employee compensation plans which authorize the grant of stock options to eligible employees and directors. The Company accounts for stock compensation under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 718, Stock Compensation. This statement requires the Company to recognize compensation cost based on the grant date fair value of options granted to employees and directors. In the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $16 and $24, respectively, in stock-based compensation cost. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized $54 and $73, respectively, in stock-based compensation cost.

(4) Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income for the third quarter (3Q) and first nine months (9M) of 2012 was $3,397 and $8,740, net of taxes, respectively. The components used to calculate comprehensive income were foreign currency translation adjustments of $670 and $819 in 3Q and 9M 2012, respectively, and unrealized holding gains (losses) of $6 and $10 in 3Q and 9M 2012, respectively.

(5) Acquisition. On March 18, 2011, UTMD purchased all of the common shares of Femcare Holdings Ltd (Femcare) of the United Kingdom, and its subsidiaries. The acquisition was accretive to financial performance in both 3Q and 9M 2011 as well as 3Q and 9M 2012.

A two-year escrow was set aside from the purchase price to back the warranties and representations of the sellers. No claims against the escrow have been made by UTMD.

Proforma Information

(6) Notes payable. In March, 2011, UTMD obtained a $14,000 loan from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (Chase), to help finance the purchase price of Femcare. The terms and conditions of the loan require UTMD to a) repay the loan in equal monthly payments over 5 years, b) pay interest based on the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a margin starting at 2.80% and ranging from 2.00% to 3.75%, depending on the ratio of its funded debt to EBITDA (Leverage Ratio), c) pledge 65% of all foreign subsidiaries’ stock, d) provide first priority liens on all domestic business assets, e) maintain its Interest Coverage Ratio at 1.15 to 1.00 or better, f) maintain its Tangible Net Worth (TNW) above a minimum threshold 20% below UTMD’s TNW at closing on March 18, and g) maintain its Leverage Ratio at 2.75 to 1.00 or less. UTMD is in compliance with all of the loan financial covenants at September 30, 2012. Based on UTMD’s financial position, the bank’s margin was 2.00% at September 30, 2012. The principal balance on this note at September 30, 2012 was $5,600.

In March 2011, the Company also obtained a $12,934 loan from JP Morgan Chase, London Branch, to help finance UTMD’s purchase of Femcare. Terms and conditions of the loan are the same as those listed above for the $14,000 U.S. loan. The principal balance on this note at September 30, 2012 was $9,034.

In December 2005, the Company borrowed $5,336 from the Bank of Ireland to finance repatriation of profits achieved from 1996 through 2005 under The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004. The loan term is 10-years at an interest rate of 1.10% plus the bank’s money market rate, which is a total of the bank’s cost of funds and cost of liquidity. The balance on the note at September 30, 2012 was $231.

(7) Warranty Reserve. The Company’s published warranty is: “UTMD warrants its products to conform in all material respects to all published product specifications in effect on the date of shipment, and to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of thirty (30) days for supplies, or twenty-four (24) months for equipment, from date of shipment. During the warranty period UTMD shall, at its option, replace any products shown to UTMD's reasonable satisfaction to be defective at no expense to the Purchaser or refund the purchase price.”

UTMD maintains a warranty reserve to provide for estimated costs which are likely to occur. The amount of this reserve is adjusted, as required, to reflect its actual experience. Based on its analysis of historical warranty claims and its estimate that existing warranty obligations are immaterial, no warranty reserve was made at January 1, 2012 or September 30, 2012.

(8) Investments. Changes in the unrealized holding gain/loss on investment securities available-for-sale and reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income are as follows:

		3Q 2012			3Q 2011
Balance, beginning of period	$	(188	)	$	(181	)
Realized loss from securities included in beginning balance		-			-
Gross unrealized holding gains (losses), in equity securities		8			(25	)
Deferred income taxes on unrealized holding loss		(3	)		10
Balance, end of period	$	(183	)	$	(196	)

(9) Fair Value Measurements. The Company follows ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures to determine fair value of its financial assets. The following table provides financial assets carried at fair value measured as of September 30, 2012:

			Fair Value Measurements Using
Description	Total Fair Value at 9/30/2012		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3 )
Common stock	$	81	$	81	$	0	$	0

(10) Subsequent Events. UTMD has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued, and concluded there were no other events or transactions during this period that required recognition or disclosure in its financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

UTMD manufactures and markets a well-established range of primarily single-use specialty medical devices. The Company’s Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2011 provides a detailed description of products, technologies, markets, regulatory issues, business initiatives, resources and business risks, among other details, and should be read in conjunction with this report. A pictorial display as well as description of UTMD’s devices is available on the Company’s website www.utahmed.com.

Because of the relatively short span of time, results for any given three month period in comparison with a previous three month period may not be indicative of comparative results for the year as a whole. Currency amounts in the report are in thousands, except per-share amounts or where otherwise noted.

Analysis of Results of Operations

a) Overview

In the third calendar quarter (3Q) of 2012, operating profits, net income, and earnings per share were substantially higher compared to 3Q 2011. In the first nine months (9M) of 2012, all income statement measures were significantly higher compared to 9M 2011. A table of income statement measures for 3Q and 9M 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 follows:

		3Q 2012		3Q 2011	change				9M 2012		9M 2011	change
Net Sales	$	10,489	$	10,784		(2.7	%)	$	31,719	$	27,954		13.9	%
Gross Profit		6,477		6,518		(0.6	%)		19,286		16,487		17.0	%
Operating Income		3,960		3,539		11.9	%		11,627		8,929		30.2	%
Income Before Tax		3,849		3,274		17.6	%		11,215		8,368		34.0	%
Net Income		2,721		2,237		21.6	%		7,910		5,556		42.4	%
Earnings per Share		.730		.614		18.9	%		2.134		1.526		39.9	%

A comparison of profit margins for 3Q and 9M 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 follows:

	3Q 2012		3Q 2011		9M 2012		9M 2011
Gross Profit Margin	61.7	%	60.4	%	60.8	%	59.0	%
Operating Profit Margin	37.8	%	32.8	%	36.7	%	31.9	%
Net Income Margin	25.9	%	20.7	%	24.9	%	19.9	%

On March 18, 2011, UTMD acquired Femcare Holdings Ltd. (“Femcare”) (See note 5). The comparison between 9M 2012 and 9M 2011 is affected by the fact that the 9M of 2011 included the business activity of Femcare only after March 18. In addition, in 9M 2011 there were acquisition expenses which were not repeated in 9M 2012.

About 60% of the lower 3Q 2012 global consolidated sales compared to 3Q 2011 was due to a stronger U.S. Dollar (USD). The decline was also consistent with ongoing weakness in the medical device sector as a whole due to continued suppressed hospital medical device utilization and pricing.

The improvement in gross profit margin (GPM) and operating profit margin (OPM) in 3Q 2012 was due to realization of operating synergies from the 2011 Femcare acquisition. The GPM benefited from direct sales in Ireland and the UK of Utah devices which were previously sold through distributors, and from better utilization of manufacturing capabilities in Ireland due to pulling in work previously subcontracted out to third parties by Femcare. In addition to the GPM improvement, the OPM benefited from consolidation of operating overhead resources, particularly in general and administrative and sales and marketing. Operating expenses were 24.0% of sales in 3Q 2012 compared to 27.6% of sales in 3Q 2011 due to $176 lower sales and marketing (S&M) expenses and $289 lower general and administrative (G&A) expenses. In 9M 2012 and 9M 2011, operating expenses were 24.1% of sales and 27.0% of sales respectively. In summary, the higher OPM in 2012 was due to 1) higher GPM, 2) lack of acquisition expenses experienced in the prior year, 3) substantially improved productivity of S&M and G&A resources, and 4) a stronger U.S. Dollar when consolidating foreign subsidiary expenses into U.S. Dollar terms.

Non-operating expenses in 3Q 2012 were $154 lower than in 3Q 2011, primarily because UTMD’s average debt balance was lower, resulting in $125 lower interest expense. For the same reason, non-operating expenses in 9M 2012 were $150 lower than in 9M 2011, despite not incurring interest expense from borrowing $26,934 to acquire Femcare until March 18, 2011. As a result of the improved OPM and lower non-operating expenses, 3Q 2012 Income before Taxes (EBT) compared to 3Q 2011 increased $575 to $3,849, and 9M 2012 EBT compared to 9M 2011 increased $2,847 to $11,215.

Net Income was leveraged by a higher proportion of consolidated EBT from entities outside the U.S. taxed at lower corporate income tax rates, and a further one percentage point reduction in corporate income tax rate in the UK compared to the prior year. Earnings per share (EPS) increased on a percentage basis a little less than the increase in net income due to the exercise of employee options and the higher dilution factor applied to unexercised options as a result of a higher average market price of UTMD stock.

There were a few significant changes in UTMD’s Balance Sheet at September 30, 2012 from December 31, 2011. Current assets increased $3.0 million (cash & investments increased $2.8 million), current liabilities increased $1.8 million and debt principal declined $6.8 million. Shareholders’ Equity increased $8.0 million net of cash dividends paid to shareholders of $1.8 million. In the six calendar quarters following the Femcare acquisition, UTMD has repaid 46% of the loan principal provided by JP Morgan Chase to help finance the acquisition.

b) Revenues

The Company believes that revenue should be recognized at the time of shipment as title generally passes to the customer at the time of shipment. Revenue recognized by UTMD is based upon documented arrangements and fixed contracts in which the selling price is fixed prior to acceptance and completion of an order. Revenue from product or service sales is generally recognized at the time the product is shipped or service completed and invoiced, and collectibility is reasonably assured. There are no post-shipment obligations which have been or are expected to be material to financial results.

UTMD generally directly accepts orders from and ships to end user clinical facilities under Standard Domestic Terms and Conditions (T&C) of Sale in the U.S., UK, Australia and Ireland. In the few circumstances that UTMD operates under the terms and conditions of a group purchasing organization (GPO), representing a group of hospitals as a bargaining agent, the terms and conditions are not materially different from UTMD’s T&C. UTMD accepts orders from international distributors in countries where UTMD sells through a distributor either under formal written agreements negotiated specifically with specific distributors, or under UTMD’s Standard International Terms and Conditions of Sale.

For direct shipments to end-users, UTMD may have separate discounted pricing agreements with a clinical facility or group of facilities based on volume of purchases. Pricing agreements with clinical facilities, or groups of facilities, are established (similar to GPO agreements) in advance of orders accepted or shipments made. For existing customers, past actual shipment volumes determine the fixed price by part number for the next agreement period of one, two or three years. For new customers, the customer’s best estimate of volume is accepted by UTMD for determining the ensuing fixed prices for the agreement period. New customers typically have one-year agreements. Prices are not adjusted after an order is accepted. To clarify, the separate pricing agreements with clinical facilities based on volume of purchases disclosure is not inconsistent with UTMD’s disclosure above that the selling price is fixed prior to the completion of an order.

There are circumstances under which revenue may be recognized when product is not shipped, which meet the criteria of SAB 104: the Company provides engineering services, for example, design and production of manufacturing tooling that may be used in subsequent UTMD manufacturing of custom components for other companies. This revenue is recognized when UTMD’s service has been completed according to a fixed contractual agreement.

In USD terms, consolidated 3Q 2012 sales were down $295 (2.7%), and 9M 2012 sales were up $3,766 (+13.5%), from the same periods in 2011. UK subsidiary sales were $3,305 in 3Q 2012 and $10,467 in 9M 2012, compared to $3,608 in 3Q 2011 and $7,219 in 9M 2011. The weighted average currency exchange rate for British Pounds (GBP) to USD was 1.5804 in 3Q 2012 compared to 1.6131 in 3Q 2011, and 1.5787 in 9M 2012 compared to 1.6213 in 9M 2011. Australia subsidiary sales were $836 in 3Q 2012 and $2,536 in 9M 2012, compared to $936 in 3Q 2011 and $2,004 in 9M 2011. The weighted average currency exchange rate for Australian Dollars (AUS) to USD was 1.0396 in 3Q 2012 compared to 1.0504 in 3Q 2011, and 1.0346 in 9M 2012 compared to 1.0540 in 9M 2011. Ireland subsidiary sales were up $834 in 3Q 2012 and $2,805 in 9M 2012, compared to $653 in 3Q 2011 and $2,041 in 9M 2011. The weighted average currency exchange rate for EURO to USD was 1.2585 in 3Q 2012 compared to 1.4010 in 3Q 2011, and 1.2909 in 9M 2012 compared to 1.4059 in 9M 2011.

Comparing 3Q 2012 to 3Q 2011 global consolidated sales in product categories, blood pressure monitoring device/ component (BPM) sales were up 6%, neonatal device sales were down 12%, gynecology/ electrosurgery device sales were down 1% and obstetrics device sales were down 6%. For 9M 2012 compared to 9M 2011 global consolidated sales in product categories, BPM sales were up 9%, neonatal device sales were down 7%, gynecology/ electrosurgery device sales were up 31% and obstetrics device sales were down 12%.

International sales in 3Q 2012 were down 3%, and 9M 2012 were up 17%. International sales were 51% of total consolidated sales in both 3Q and 9M 2012, compared to 51% in 3Q 2011 and 49% in 9M 2011.

U.S. domestic sales were down 2% in 3Q 2012 and up 10% in 9M 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. Domestic direct sales of finished devices to U.S. end-users were 6% lower in both 3Q and 9M 2012, due primarily to lower hospital utilization rates of specialty devices. Sales of OEM components and finished devices to other U.S. companies were up 6% for 3Q 2012 and 77% for 9M 2012.

The following table provides the actual sales dollar amounts by general product category for total sales and the subset of international sales:

c) Gross Profit

UTMD’s average GPM, gross profits as a percentage of sales, was 61.7% in 3Q 2012 and 60.8% in 9M 2012, compared to 60.4% in 3Q 2011 and 59.0% in 9M 2011. A major contributor to GPM improvement in 9M 2012 compared to 9M 2011 was better utilization of manufacturing capacity in Ireland.

OEM sales are sales of UTMD components, subassemblies, finished devices and custom products that are marketed by other companies as part of their product offerings. UTMD utilizes OEM sales as a means to help optimize utilization of its capabilities established to satisfy its direct sales business. As a general rule, prices for OEM sales expressed as a multiple of direct variable manufacturing expenses are lower than for direct end-user sales because, in the OEM and many international channels, UTMD’s business partners incur significant expenses of sales and marketing. Because of UTMD’s small size and period-to-period fluctuations in OEM business, fixed manufacturing overhead expenses cannot be meaningfully allocated between direct and OEM sales. Therefore, UTMD does not report GPM by sales channels.

d) Operating Income

Operating income is the profit remaining after subtracting operating expenses from gross profits. Operating expenses include sales and marketing (S&M), product development (R&D) and general and administrative (G&A) expenses. Consolidated operating expenses were $2,517 (24.0% of sales) in 3Q 2012 compared to $2,979 (27.6% of sales) in 3Q 2011, and $7,660 (24.1% of sales) in 9M 2012 compared to $7,558 (27.0% of sales) in 9M 2011.

UTMD’s 3Q and 9M 2012 operating profit margin (OPM), operating income divided by sales, was 37.8% and 36.7%, respectively, compared to 32.8% and 31.9% in 3Q and 9M 2011. The 9M 2012 OPM improved compared to 9M 2011 due to 1) a higher GPM, 2) higher sales volume over which consolidated operating expenses were spread, and 3) the consolidation of previous Femcare operating expenses into UTMD’s infrastructure.

Consolidated S&M expenses in 3Q 2012 were $646 (6.2% of sales) compared to $822 (7.6% of sales) in 3Q 2011, and $1,999 (6.3% of sales) in 9M 2012 compared to $2,147 (7.7% of sales) in 9M 2011. S&M expenses include all customer support costs including training. In general, training is not required for UTMD’s products since they are well-established and have been clinically widely used. Written “Instructions For Use” are packaged with all finished devices. Although UTMD does not have explicit contracts with end-user customers to provide training, it does have third party group purchasing organization agreements and international distributor agreements under which it agrees to provide hospital members or distributors inservice and clinical training as required and reasonably requested.

UTMD promises prospective customers that it will provide, at no charge in reasonable quantities, copies of videotapes and other instruction materials developed for the use of its products. UTMD also maintains product training information on its website that can be accessed by authorized third parties. UTMD provides customer support from headquarters by telephone, and employed representatives on a geographic basis, to answer user questions and help troubleshoot any user issues. Occasionally, on a case-by-case basis, UTMD may utilize the services of an independent practitioner to provide educational assistance to clinicians. All inservice and training expenses are routinely expensed as they occur. Except for the consulting services of independent practitioners, all of these services are allocated from fixed S&M overhead costs included in Operating Expenses. Historically, marginal consulting costs have been immaterial to financial results, which is also UTMD’s expectation for the future.

R&D expenses in 3Q 2012 and 9M 2012 were $140 (1.3% of sales) and $433 (1.4% of sales), respectively, compared to $138 (1.3% of sales) and $386 (1.4% of sales) in 3Q and 9M 2011. UTMD expects to continue developing new products in-house that will enhance its market position as a clinically-focused company.

Consolidated G&A expenses in 3Q 2012 were $1,730 (16.5% of sales) compared to $2,020 (18.7% of sales) in 3Q 2011, and $5,227 (16.5% of sales) in 9M 2012 compared to $5,025 (18.0% of sales) in 9M 2011. G&A expenses include $638 (6.1% of sales) in 3Q 2012, and $1,913 (6.0% of sales) in 9M 2012, of expense from the amortization of identifiable intangible assets (IIA) resulting from the Femcare acquisition. This compares to $651 (6.0% of sales) in 3Q 2011, and $1,404 (5.0% of sales) in 9M 2011, of IIA amortization expense. Acquisition expenses of $8 in 3Q 2011 and $293 (1.0% of sales) in 9M 2011 were included in G&A operating expenses. There were no acquisition expenses in 9M 2012. In addition to legal/ litigation costs, G&A expenses include the costs of outside director fees and expenses, business insurance, independent financial auditors’ fees, tax preparers’ fees and corporate governance activities related to the implementation of SEC rules, as well as estimated stock-based compensation expense. Option compensation expense was $16 in 3Q 2012 compared to $24 in 3Q 2011, and $54 in 9M 2012 compared to $73 in 9M 2011.

Operating expense summary:

		3Q 2012		3Q 2011		9M 2012		9M 2011
S&M Expense	$	646	$	822	$	2,000	$	2,147
R&D Expense		140		138		433		386
G&A Expense		1,731		2,019		5,227		5,025
Total Operating Expenses:	$	2,517	$	2,979	$	7,660	$	7,558

e) Non-operating expense

Non-operating expenses (NOE) include loan interest, bank fees and excise taxes minus non-operating income from rent of underutilized property, investment income and royalties received from licensing the Company’s technology. NOE.in 3Q 2012 was $111 compared to $265 in 3Q 2011, and $411 in 9M 2012 compared to $561 in 9M 2011. Interest expense on the loans required to finance the Femcare acquisition is the largest component of NOE in each of the periods: $155 in 3Q 2012 compared to $276 in 3Q 2011, and $508 in 9M 2012 compared to $618 in 9M 2011. The lower interest expense in 2012 compared to 2011 was the result of rapidly repaying the $26,934 debt obtained to help acquire Femcare in March 2011. At September 30, 2012, after six calendar quarters, 46% of the debt has been repaid.

f) Income Before Income Taxes

Income before taxes (EBT) results from subtracting UTMD’s NOE from its operating income. 3Q 2012 consolidated EBT was $3,849 (36.7% of sales) compared to $3,274 (30.4% of sales) in 3Q 2011. EBT in 9M 2012 was $11,215 (35.4% of sales) compared to $8,368 (29.9% of sales) in 9M 2011. The EBT of UTMD Ltd. (Ireland) was €169 in 3Q 2012 (23.3% of sales) compared to a loss of €22 in 3Q 2011, and €448 in 9M 2012 (19.9% of sales) compared to €36 (2.4% of sales) in 9M 2011. The EBT of Femcare Group Ltd. (Femcare-Nikomed, Ltd., UK and Femcare Australia Ltd) was £932 (33.0% of sales) in 3Q 2012 compared to £748 (26.6% of sales) in 3Q 2011, and £2,931 (33.1% of sales) in 9M 2012 compared to £1,377 (24.2% of sales) in 9M 2011.

Excluding the noncash effects of depreciation, amortization of intangible assets and stock option expense, 3Q and 9M 2012 consolidated EBT plus interest expense were $4,833 and $14,237, respectively, compared to $4,418 and $11,037 in 3Q and 9M 2011.

g) Net Income

UTMD’s consolidated net income was $2,721 (25.9% of sales) in 3Q 2012 compared to $2,237 (20.7% of sales) in 3Q 2011, and $7,910 (24.9% of sales) in 9M 2012 compared to $5,556 (19.9% of sales) in 9M 2011. The improvement in 3Q and 9M 2012 NPM (net income divided by sales) compared to the same periods in 2011 was due to the improvement in OPM described above, less interest expense, a greater portion of EBT in lower taxed sovereignties and a lower corporate income tax rate in the UK. The average consolidated income tax provision (as a % of EBT) in 3Q 2012 was 29.3% compared to 31.7% in 3Q 2011, and 29.5% in 9M 2012 compared to 33.6% in 9M 2011. The corporate income tax rate in the UK changed from 26% to 25% on April 1, 2012. The income tax rate in Australia remains 30%. UTMD’s average combined state and federal income tax rate in the U.S. is about 36%, after allowable deductions. The marginal U.S. income tax rate is 39%.

Because Femcare was acquired near the end of 1Q 2011 and UTMD Ltd (Ireland)’s EBT performance was low in 2011, most of consolidated EBT in 9M 2011 was taxed at the U.S. rate, the highest corporate income tax rate of all the sovereignties in which UTMD pays income taxes: Australia, Ireland, the UK and the U.S. In addition, almost all of the acquisition expenses in 9M 2011 were not tax deductible. In 3Q and 9M 2012, a greater contribution to EBT by UTMD Ltd (Ireland) at the lowest tax rate of 12.5% on profits generated from export of goods manufactured in Ireland, in addition to improved profitability in the UK, helped to substantially reduce the average tax provision rate.

h) Earnings Per Share

Earnings per share (EPS) is net income divided by the number of shares of stock outstanding (diluted to take into consideration stock option awards which are “in the money,” i.e., have exercise prices below the applicable period’s weighted average market value). EPS for the applicable reporting periods follows:

		3Q 2012		3Q 2011		9M 2012		9M 2011
Earnings Per Share (EPS)	$	.730	$	.614	$	2.134	$	1.526.
Shares (000), Diluted		3,726		3,644		3,706		3,642

Diluted shares used to calculate EPS increased to 3,725,500 in 3Q 2012 from 3,643,700 in 3Q 2011, and to 3,706,000 in 9M 2012 from 3,641,900 in 9M 2011. The number of shares added as a dilution factor in 3Q 2012 was 36,500 compared to 7,400 in 3Q 2011, and 33,900 in 9M 2012 compared to 13,400 in 9M 2011. Employees and directors exercised options for 7,800 UTMD shares in 3Q 2012, and for 55,600 shares in 9M 2012. Actual outstanding common shares at September 30, 2012 were 3,692,400 compared to 3,638,100 one year earlier. Although UTMD did not repurchase shares in the open market during 2012 through September 30, or during calendar 2011, it retains its program for repurchasing shares when they seem undervalued. The primary reason for not repurchasing shares during 2011 and 2012 to date was to use cash generated from operations to rapidly repay debt.

i) Return on Equity

Return on equity (ROE) is the portion of net income retained by UTMD (after payment of dividends to shareholders) to internally finance its growth, divided by the average accumulated shareholder equity for the applicable time period. Annualized year-to-date ROE (after payment of dividends) for 9M 2012 was 16% compared to 10% for 9M 2011. ROE prior to payment of dividends was 24% in 9M 2012 and 19% in 9M 2011. The higher ROE in 2012 was due primarily to higher net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

j) Cash flows

Net cash provided by operating activities, including adjustments for depreciation and amortization and other non-cash operating expenses along with changes in working capital totaled $10,499 in 9M 2012 compared to $7,859 in 9M 2011. The most significant differences in the two periods were a net income increase of $2,354, a benefit to cash of $915 from changes in inventories, $671 from a larger increase in accounts payable, and $533 from amortization of identifiable intangibles for three quarters in 2012 compared to approximately two quarters in 2011, offset by a $427 use of cash from a larger increase in accounts receivable and a $424 use from a smaller increase in accrued expenses.

The Company’s payment of $41,084 to acquire Femcare in March 2011 was the most significant use of cash in either period. UTMD liquidated a net of $14,655 of investments to help finance the acquisition. The Company borrowed an additional $26,934 during 9M 2011 to help finance the purchase of Femcare.

Capital expenditures for plant, property and equipment (PP&E) were $195 in 9M 2012 and $196 in 9M 2011. Depreciation of PP&E was $494 in 9M 2012 and $536 in 9M 2011.

In 9M 2012, UTMD received $1,185 and issued 52,393 shares of stock upon the exercise of employee and director stock options, net of 3,169 shares retired upon employees trading those shares in payment of the option exercise price. Option exercises in 9M 2012 were at an average price of $23.05 per share. In comparison, the Company received $442 from issuing 19,237 shares of stock on the exercise of employee stock options in 9M 2011.

UTMD repaid $7,174 on its notes payable during 9M 2012, compared to $3,682 during 9M 2011, and paid $1,762 in dividends in 9M 2012, compared to $1,705 in 9M 2011. All of UTMD’s notes payable are scheduled to be repaid by April, 2016.

Management believes that income from operations and effective management of working capital will provide the liquidity needed to finance its internal growth plans. Planned capital expenditures during the remainder of 2012 are expected to be less than depreciation of current PP&E. The Company will continue to keep facilities, equipment and tooling in good working order. In addition, the Company may use cash for marketing or product manufacturing rights to broaden the Company's product offerings; for share repurchases when the price of the stock is undervalued; and if available for a reasonable price, an acquisition that might strategically fit UTMD’s business model and be accretive to performance.

k) Assets and Liabilities

September 30, 2012 total assets increased $2,414 from December 31, 2011, including an increase in current assets of $3,041 and decreases in net intangible assets and net PP&E assets of $271 and $356 respectively. PP&E in Ireland declined $115, because of $116 in depreciation of fixed assets.

Working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) was $8,642 at September 30, 2012, a $1,257 increase from $7,385 at 2011 year-end. Current assets included a cash and investments increase of $2,771, an accounts receivable increase of $302 and an inventories decrease of $298. September 30, 2012 inventory and receivables balances were within management’s asset productivity targets. Current liabilities increased $1,784, including a $1,512 increase in accrued expenses as a result of paying the 4Q 2011 dividend before 2011 year-end, but not paying the 3Q 2012 dividend to shareholders until early October, and an increase in income tax payable. The dividend accrual on September 30, 2012 was $886. Accounts payable increased $253. UTMD has maintained a current ratio of at least 1.7 for all calendar quarters since June 30, 2011. UTMD believes its working capital remains sufficient to meet normal operating needs, debt service requirements and cash dividend payments to shareholders.

Intangible assets decreased $271. The decrease was due to amortization of identifiable intangible assets of $1,957 in 9M 2012, offset by valuing remaining intangible assets with a weaker USD relative to the GBP at September 30, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012, net intangible assets including goodwill were 64% of total assets compared to 66% at year-end 2011.

On March 18, 2011, UTMD borrowed £8,000 ($12,934) in the UK and $14,000 in the U.S. from JP Morgan Chase Bank to help fund the Femcare acquisition. The principal balance on those loans as of September 30, 2012 was £5,600 ($9,034) and $5,600, respectively. During 2012 to September 30, the JP Morgan Chase loan principal balances at December 31, 2011 were reduced by £1,200 in the UK and $4,900 in the U.S.

The principal balance on the Bank of Ireland €4,500 ($5,336) loan initiated in December 2005 for purposes of repatriating accumulated profits to the U.S. was €180 ($231) on September 30, 2012. During 2012 to September 30, the Ireland note principal balance declined €289.

The deferred tax liability balance for Femcare identifiable intangible assets ($9,084 on the date of the acquisition), was $8,053 at September 30, 2012. Reduction of the deferred tax liability occurs as the book/tax difference of amortization is eliminated over the remaining useful life of the identifiable intangible assets.

UTMD’s total debt ratio (total liabilities/ total assets) as of September 30, 2012 was 38% compared to 47% on December 31, 2011 and 49% on September 30, 2011.

k) Management's Outlook.

As outlined in its December 31, 2011 SEC 10-K report, UTMD’s plan for 2012 is to

1) realize distribution and manufacturing synergies by integrating capabilities and resources obtained in its recent acquisition of Femcare;

2) begin to sell its devices directly to end-users in Ireland;

3) introduce three new gynecology products helpful to clinicians through internal new product development;

4) continue achieving excellent overall financial operating performance; and

5) utilize positive cash generation to pay down debt rapidly, continue cash dividends to shareholders and continue open market share repurchases if/when the UTMD share price seems undervalued.

After concluding the first nine months’ of 2012, Management believes UTMD’s performance is consistent with achieving the previously stated objectives.

l) Accounting Policy Changes.

None.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

UTMD has manufacturing operations, including related assets, in the U.S. denominated in the U.S. Dollar (USD), in Ireland denominated in the Euro (EUR) and in England denominated in the British Pound (GBP). UTMD also has trading activities in the U.S. and in subsidiaries in other countries denominated in the USD, EUR, GBP and the Australian Dollar (AUD). The currencies are subject to exchange rate fluctuations that are beyond the control of UTMD. The exchange rates were .7778, .7707 and .7439 EUR per USD as of September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Exchange rates were .6199, .6436 and .6401 GBP per USD as of September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively. Exchange rates were .9627, .9755 and 1.0261 AUD per USD on September 30, 2012, December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, respectively. UTMD manages its foreign currency risk without separate hedging transactions by conducting as much business in local currencies as is practicable and by converting currencies to USD as transactions occur.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2012. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2012, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The Company may be a party from time to time in litigation incidental to its business. Presently, there is no litigation for which the Company believes the outcome may be material to its financial results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, investors should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in UTMD’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, which could materially affect its business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to UTMD or currently deemed to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and/or operating results.

Legislative healthcare reform in the United States, as embodied in The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (the “Acts”) adds a substantial excise tax slated to begin in 2013, increases administrative costs and may lead to decreased revenues:

The voluminous Acts, administrative rules to enforce the Acts and promised efforts to reform the Acts, make the U.S. medical device marketplace unpredictable, particularly for the thousands of small medical device manufacturers including UTMD that do not have the overhead structure that the large companies can afford. To the extent that the Acts place additional burdens on small medical device companies in the form of an excise tax on medical device sales, additional oversight of marketing and sales activities and new reporting requirements, the result is likely to be negative for UTMD’s ability to effectively compete and support continued investments in new product development and marketing of specialty devices.

Increasing regulatory burdens including premarketing approval delays may result in significant loss of revenue, unpredictable costs and loss of management focus on helping the Company thrive:

The Company’s experience in 2001-2005, when the FDA sought to shut it down highlights the ongoing risk of being subject to a regulatory environment which can be arbitrary and capricious. The risks associated with such a circumstance relate not only to the substantial costs of litigation in millions of dollars, but also loss of business, the diversion of attention of key employees for an extended period of time, from new product development and routine quality control management activities, and a tremendous psychological and emotional toll on employees.

Since the FDA reserves to itself the interpretation of which vague industry standards comprise law at any point in time, it is impossible for any medical device manufacturer to ever be confident that it is operating within the Agency’s version of the law. The result is that companies, including UTMD are considered guilty prior to proving their innocence. New premarketing submission rules and substantial increases in “user fees” may increase development costs and result in delays to revenues from new or improved products.

The growth of Group Purchasing Organizations adds non-productive costs, typically weakens the Company’s marketing and sales efforts and may result in lower revenues:

GPOs, theoretically acting as bargaining agents for member hospitals, but actually collecting revenues from the companies that they are negotiating with, have made a concerted effort to turn medical devices that convey special patient safety advantages and better health outcomes, like UTMD’s, into commodities. GPOs have been granted an antitrust exemption by the U.S. Congress. Otherwise, their business model based on “kickbacks” would be a violation of law, as is the case in other industries. These bureaucratic entities do not recognize or understand the overall cost of care as it relates to safety and effectiveness of devices, and they create a substantial administrative burden that is primarily related to collection of their administrative fees.

As the healthcare industry becomes increasingly bureaucratic it puts smaller companies like UTMD at a competitive disadvantage:

An aging population and an extended economic recession are placing greater burdens on healthcare systems, particularly hospitals. The length of time and number of administrative steps required in adopting new products for use in hospitals has grown substantially in recent years. Smaller companies like UTMD typically do not have the administrative resources to deal with broad new administrative requirements, resulting in either loss of revenue or increased costs. As UTMD introduces new products it believes are safer and more effective, it may find itself excluded from certain customers because of the existence of long term supply agreements for preexisting products, particularly from competitors which offer hospitals a broader range of products. Restrictions used by hospital administrators to limit clinician involvement in device purchasing decisions makes communicating UTMD’s clinical advantages much more difficult.

A product liability lawsuit could result in significant legal expenses and a large award against the Company:

UTMD’s devices are frequently used in inherently risky situations to help physicians achieve a more positive outcome than what might otherwise be the case. In any lawsuit where an individual plaintiff suffers permanent physical injury, the possibility of a large award for damages exists whether or not a causal relationship exists.

The Company’s reliance on third party distributors in some overseas markets may result in less predictable international revenues:

UTMD’s international distributors have varying expertise in marketing and selling specialty medical devices. They also sell other devices that may result in less focus on the Company’s products.

The substantial increase in debt required to finance the acquisition of Femcare Group Ltd represents an increased business risk until the debt is repaid:

While the debt will help positively leverage financial performance if UTMD maintains future performance consistent with 2011 and 2012 performance, it could also negatively leverage financial performance if the Company is unable to maintain sales volume and profit margins in a competitive worldwide market for its medical devices.

The loss of one or more key employees could negatively affect UTMD performance:

In a small company with limited resources, the distraction or loss of key personnel at any point in time may be disruptive to performance. The Company’s benefits programs are key to recruiting and retaining talented employees. The rapid increase in UTMD’s employee healthcare plan costs, for example, may cause the Company to have to reduce coverages which in turn represents a risk to retaining key employees.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

UTMD did not purchase any of its own securities during 3Q 2012.
