Announces Adjustments to
Quarterly Financial Statements
Estimated 2008 Net Income
Colo. April 1, 2009 Zynex, Inc. (OTCBB: ZYXI), a provider
of pain management systems and electrotherapy products for medical patients with
functional disability, announces that the Board of Directors and Audit Committee
of Zynex has concluded that Zynex's unaudited financial statements for the
quarters ended March 31, 2008, June 30, 2008 and September 30, 2008, included in
its quarterly reports, should be revised to reflect adjustments to Zynex's
allowance for provider discounts, accounts receivable and net revenue for such
periods. These quarterly adjustments were determined after an
evaluation of adjustments identified in connection with the 2008 year-end
closing and the audit of the 2008 financial statements.
will restate its unaudited financial statements for the first three quarters of
2008. Zynex will include restated information regarding these
quarters in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008
or will amend its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the first three quarters of
2008. Zynex believes that there will not be a restatement of 2007
financial statements. Zynex intends to file its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 as soon as practicable.
adjustments identified in connection with the year-end closing and 2008 year-end
audit result in a decrease in net accounts receivable and related net revenues
of approximately $5.1 million as of and for the year ended December 31,
2008. A substantial part of these adjustments applies to the first
three quarters of 2008. These adjustments are based on a
re-evaluation of the estimated allowance for provider discounts that management
believes should have been utilized in 2008. The change in the
provider discount rates is based on management's analysis of business
conditions, recent rates of collection and additional methodologies that the
Company applied in estimating these rates at year end, which management believes
are more accurate than previously applied rates during the quarterly periods in
2008. Zynex's allowance for provider discounts is recorded to account
for the risk of non-payment arising from reimbursements from insurance providers
that are less than amounts claimed, amounts subject to patients' deductibles and
management estimates, that, after taking into account the unaudited impact of
the adjustments, the results for the year ended December 31, 2008 will be
approximately as follows:
| Net Rental and Sales Revenue | $ | 11,750,000 | |||
| Income Before Taxes | $ | 330,000 | |||
| Net Income | $ | 215,000 |
The unaudited amounts presented above are subject to change until the 2008
financial statements are finalized.
Sandgaard, President and CEO of Zynex commented: "Zynex's business
continues as usual, and we are working on improvements to our accounting
estimates and our internal operations. Doctors and patients continue
to have a readiness to use our products, and our rental and sales of products
continue at favorable levels. The adjustments to our financial
statements are to better recognize the current environment and collectability of
accounts receivables."
of the adjustments, the unaudited financial statements and press releases
previously issued on results for the first three quarters of 2008 should not be
relied upon. Zynex's management is developing new methodologies that
it believes will identify changes in collections of accounts receivable and
business conditions in order to make more accurate estimates of the allowance
for provider discounts on a more timely basis.
to terms of the revolving credit facility with Marquette Healthcare Finance,
Zynex is to provide accurate financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles to
Marquette. Representations and financial covenants on the subject may
be breached by the proposed restatement of unaudited financial statements for
the first three quarters of 2008. In addition, Zynex believes that it
will be in default in complying with one or more financial covenants, including
an EBITDA covenant, as of December 31, 2008 and would also be in potential
default under the covenants unless they are revised for
2009. Management is discussing with Marquette a waiver or forbearance
under the revolving credit facility regarding these
defaults. However, there is no assurance that Zynex will be able to
maintain the credit facility in place or obtain the waiver or forbearance of
Inc. (founded in 1996) engineers, manufactures, markets and sells its own design

electrotherapy products for pain relief and pain management; and the

developed to uphold the Company's mission of improving the quality of life for
patients suffering from impaired mobility due to stroke, spinal cord injury, or
debilitating and chronic pain.
