HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.    OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Heska Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries ("Heska", the "Company", "we" or "our") sell veterinary and animal health diagnostic and specialty products. Our offerings include Point of Care diagnostics laboratory instruments and consumables, digital imaging diagnostic products, software and services, vaccines, local and cloud-based data services, allergy testing and immunotherapy, and single-use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostic tests and heartworm preventive products. Our core focus is on supporting veterinarians in the canine and feline healthcare space.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 .
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries since their respective dates of acquisitions. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Where our ownership of a subsidiary was less than 100%, the non-controlling interest is reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The non-controlling interest in our consolidated net income is reported as "Net loss attributable to non-controlling interest" on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 and other financial information filed with the SEC.
Reclassification
To maintain consistency and comparability, certain amounts in the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates are required when establishing the allowance for doubtful accounts and the provision for excess or obsolete inventory; determining future costs associated with warranties provided; determining the period over which our obligations are fulfilled under agreements to license product rights and/or technology rights; evaluating long-lived and intangible assets for impairment; estimating the useful lives of instruments under leasing arrangements; determining the allocation of purchase price under purchase accounting; estimating the expense associated with the granting of stock options; and determining the need for, and the amount of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


Critical Accounting Policies
Our accounting policies are described in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017, and other than the recently adopted accounting pronouncements discussed below, have not changed significantly since such filing.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which became effective for us beginning January 1, 2018. The new standard made eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying Accounting Standards Updates or ASUs (collectively “ASC 606”). ASC 606 prescribes a single common revenue standard that replaces most existing U.S. GAAP revenue recognition guidance. ASC 606 outlines a five-step model, under which Heska will recognize revenue as performance obligations within customer contracts are satisfied. ASC 606 is intended to provide more consistent interpretation and application of the principles outlined in the standard across filers in multiple industries and within the same industries compared to current practices, which should improve comparability. Along with the issuance of ASC 606, additional cost guidance was issued and codified under ASC 340-40 that outlines the requirement for capitalizing incremental costs of obtaining a contract and costs to fulfill a contract that meet certain capitalization criteria.

On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC 606 using the modified retrospective method for all customer contracts not yet completed as of the adoption date. Results for reporting periods beginning January 1, 2018 are presented under ASC 606, while prior period amounts were not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the Company’s historic accounting under Topic 605,  Revenue Recognition .

We recorded an increase to beginning retained earnings of  $2.6 million  as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606. The impact to beginning retained earnings was primarily driven by the capitalization of certain costs to obtain our customer contracts, which were primarily sales-related commissions. The adoption of ASC 606 did not have a significant impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2018. As a result, comparisons of revenues and operating profit performance between periods are not affected by the adoption of this ASU. Refer to Note 2 for additional disclosures required by ASC 606.

We generate our Core Companion Animal (“CCA”) segment revenue through the sale of products, either by outright purchase by our customers or through a subscription agreement whereby our customers receive instruments and pay us a monthly fee for the usage of the instrument as well as the consumables needed to conduct testing. Outright sales to customers is the majority of both Point of Care imaging diagnostic transactions and the sale of pharmaceuticals and vaccines, while subscription placement is the majority of Point of Care diagnostic laboratory transactions.

For outright sales of products, revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to our customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those products or services (the transaction price). A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct product or service to a customer and is the unit of account under ASC 606.

HESKA CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


For instruments, consumables, and most software licenses sold by the Company, control transfers to the customer at a point in time. To indicate the transfer of control, the Company must have a present right to payment, legal title must have passed to the customer, the customer must have the significant risks and rewards of ownership, and where acceptance is not a formality, the customer must have accepted the product or service. Heska’s principal terms of sale are FOB Shipping Point, or equivalent, and, as such, we primarily transfer control and record revenue for product sales upon shipment. If a performance obligation to the customer with respect to a sales transaction remains unfulfilled following shipment (typically owed installation or acceptance by the customer), revenue recognition for that performance obligation is deferred until such commitments have been fulfilled. We do not generally allow return of products or instruments. For extended warranty plans, control transfers to the customer over the term of the arrangement. Revenue for extended warranties is recognized based upon the period of time elapsed under the arrangement.

Our revenue under subscription agreements relate to operating-type lease (“OTL”) arrangements or sales-type lease (“STL”) arrangements. A STL would result in earlier recognition of instrument revenue as compared to an OTL, which is generally upon installation of the instruments. The cost of the customer-leased instruments is removed from inventory and recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Determination of an OTL or STL is primarily determined as a result of the length of the contract as compared to the estimated useful life of the instrument, among other factors. Leases are outside of the scope of ASC 606 and are therefore accounted for in accordance with ASC 840 , Leases . Instrument lease revenue for OTL agreements is recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease, and the costs of customer-leased instruments are recorded within property and equipment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and depreciated over the instrument’s estimated useful life. The depreciation expense is reflected in cost of revenue in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The OTLs and STLs are not cancellable until after an initial term. Under either type of lease, we often charge a subscription fee and provide a minimum supply credit. OTLs may include a minimum utilization rather than a minimum supply credit.
    
For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contracts' transaction price for each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis using our best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct product or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate the standalone selling price is the price observed in standalone sales to customers. However, when prices in standalone sales are not available, we may use a cost-plus margin approach. Allocation of the transaction price is determined at the contracts' inception. The Company does not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component when the period between the transfer of the promised good or service to the customer and payment for that good or service by the customer is expected to be one year or less. This allocation approach also applies to contracts for which a portion of the contract relates to a lease component.

We generate revenue within our Other Vaccines, Pharmaceuticals, and Products (“OVP”) segment through contract manufacturing contracts with customers. The timing of revenue recognition of our customer contracts are generally recognized upon shipment or acceptance by our customer, under the same guidelines noted above for other outright product sales. Heska assessed the over-time criteria within ASC 606 and concluded that because products within this segment have no alternative use to Heska, as Heska is contractually prohibited to redirect the product to other customers, Heska does not have right to payment for performance to date. Therefore, point in time revenue recognition has been determined to be appropriate.

Revenue generated from licensing arrangements is recognized based on the underlying term of the contract.

Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
    
In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07,  Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718) , Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This ASU is intended to simplify aspects of share-based compensation issued to non-employees by making the guidance consistent with accounting for employee share-based compensation. ASU 2018-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted but no earlier than an entity’s adoption date of Topic 606. We will adopt the provisions of this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. Adoption of the new standard is not expected to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income . The ASU permits companies to elect a reclassification of the disproportionate tax effects in accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") caused by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 to retained earnings. The ASU also requires additional disclosures. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We will adopt the provisions of this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the effect of this ASU on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13,  Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) , which require that financial assets measured at amortized cost be presented at the net amount expected to be collected. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset to present the net carrying value at the amount expected to be collected. The income statement reflects the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets, as well as the increases or decreases of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period. The measurement of expected credit losses is based upon historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption for fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2018 is permitted. We will adopt the provisions of this ASU in the first quarter of 2019. We are currently evaluating the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) , which supersedes ASC 840, Leases . This update requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a lease asset for all leases, including operating leases, with a term greater than 12 months on its balance sheet. The update also expands the required quantitative and qualitative disclosures surrounding leases. The accounting for lessors does not fundamentally change except for changes to conform and align guidance to the lessee guidance as well as to the new revenue recognition guidance in ASU 2014-09. This update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. This update will be applied using a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. We are currently evaluating the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

2.     REVENUE

We separate our goods and services among:

Point of Care laboratory products including instruments, consumables, and other services;
Point of Care imaging products including instruments, software and services;
Single use pharmaceuticals, vaccines, and diagnostic tests primarily related to companion animals; and
Other vaccines and pharmaceuticals related to our OVP segment.
Revenue from our CCA segment consists of Point of Care laboratory products, including instruments and consumables, Point of Care imaging products, and single use diagnostic and other tests, pharmaceuticals and biologicals. Point of Care laboratory products are generally sold under a long-term subscription agreement with the instrument portion of the sale accounted for under Topic 840, Leases , as either an OTL or STL. For STL, we apply the provisions of ASC 606 to determine the point in time when control is transferred to the customer, generally when installation of the instrument occurs. Related profit and derecognition of the asset from the Company's balance sheet follows prescribed guidance under ASC 840. Revenue recognized under this topic was approximately $1.8 million and $3.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , we recognized approximately $1.3 million and $2.1 million , respectively, of instrument sales related to the outright sale of instruments to customers, which also included shipping and preparation fees. Consumables are critical to the use of the Point of Care laboratory instruments and are used one-time, requiring frequent replacement in the customer's operating cycle. Revenue recorded related to sales of consumables was $11.5 million and $22.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Other services, such as extended service plans and repairs, resulted in approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million of revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively.
Point of Care imaging products for instruments and software are generally sold outright to customers and recognized upon shipment, which is generally the point in time when control transfers to customers. Revenue of approximately $3.6 million and $8.7 million was recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Rental agreements, generally accounted for as OTLs under Topic 840, Leases , resulted in approximately $0.4 million and $0.6 million of rental revenue in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Service revenue, including extended warranty revenue, of approximately $0.5 million and $1.1 million was recognized in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively.
Revenue from single use diagnostic and other tests, pharmaceuticals and biologicals as well as research and development, licensing and royalty revenue, represented approximately $7.1 million of our revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , and $14.3 million of our revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 . Of those amounts, approximately $0.1 million and $0.2 million related to license and royalty income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively.

Revenue from our OVP segment consists of revenue generated from contract manufacturing contracts and from other license and research and development. Revenue from contract manufacturing contracts and from other license and research and development was $2.9 million and $0.1 million , respectively, in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , and $8.7 million and $0.3 million , respectively, in the six months ended June 30, 2018 .

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations related to ASC 606 represent the aggregate transaction price allocated to performance obligations with an original contract term greater than one year which are fully or partially unsatisfied at the end of the period. Remaining performance obligations include noncancelable purchase orders, the non-lease portion of minimum purchase commitments under long-term supply arrangements, extended warranty, service and other long-term contracts. Remaining performance obligations do not include revenue from contracts with customers with an original term of one year or less, revenue from long-term supply arrangements with no minimum purchase requirements or revenue expected from purchases made in excess of the minimum purchase requirements or revenue from instruments leased to customers. While the remaining performance obligation disclosure is similar in concept to backlog, the definition of remaining performance obligations excludes leases and contracts that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate for convenience with no substantial penalty, even if historical experience indicates the likelihood of cancellation or termination is remote. Additionally, the Company has elected to exclude contracts with customers with an original term of one year or less from remaining performance obligations while these contracts are included within backlog.

As of  June 30, 2018 , the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining minimum performance obligations was approximately  $77.8 million . As of June 30, 2018 , the Company expects to recognize revenue as follows (in thousands):

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, customer deposits and billings in excess of revenue recognized (contract liabilities) on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, the Company defers certain costs incurred to obtain contracts (contract costs).

Contract assets - Most of the Company’s long-term contracts are billed as product is shipped. Therefore, there are no contract assets because the Company does not recognize revenue prior to invoicing.

Contract liabilities - The Company receives cash payments from customers for licensing fees or other arrangements that extend for a specified term. These contract liabilities are classified as either current or long-term in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize revenue. As of  June 30, 2018  and December 31, 2017 , contract liabilities were  $10.3 million  and  $12.3 million , respectively, and are included within the current portion of "Deferred revenue" and the non-current portion of "Deferred revenue, net of current portion, and other" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract liability balance during the six month

period ended  June 30, 2018  is $2.6 million of revenue recognized during the period, offset by $0.6 million of additional deferred sales in 2018.

Contract costs - The Company capitalizes certain direct incremental costs incurred to obtain customer contracts, typically sales-related commissions, where the recognition period for the related revenue is greater than one year. Contract costs are classified as current or non-current "Contract acquisition costs" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the timing of when the Company expects to recognize the expense and are generally amortized into earnings with a certain percentage recognized immediately based upon placement of the instrument with the remainder recognized on a straight-line basis (which is consistent with the transfer of control for the related goods or services) over the term of the contract. Management assesses these costs for impairment at least quarterly on a contract by contract basis and as “triggering” events occur that indicate it is more likely than not that an impairment exists. The balance of contract costs as of  June 30, 2018  and at the date of adoption was $2.5 million and $2.4 million , respectively. Amortization expense for the six month period ended  June 30, 2018 , was $0.5 million . The costs to obtain a contract where the amortization period for the related asset is one year or less are expensed as incurred and recorded within selling and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Contract liabilities and costs are reported on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis whereas contract costs are calculated and reported on a portfolio basis.

3.    ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED PARTY ITEMS
Cuattro Veterinary, LLC
On May 31, 2016, the Company closed a transaction (the "Merger") to acquire Cuattro Veterinary, LLC ("Cuattro International"), which was owned by Kevin S. Wilson, among other members (the "Members"). The Company recorded assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated fair values. Intangible assets were valued based on a report from an independent third party. The goodwill associated with the acquisition is the result of expected synergies and expansion of the technology into additional markets.
Cuattro International is a provider to international markets of digital radiography technologies for veterinarians. As a leading provider of advanced veterinary diagnostic and specialty products, we made the acquisition in an effort to combine Cuattro International's international reach with our domestic success in the imaging and laboratory markets in the United States. International markets represent a significant portion of worldwide veterinary revenues.
As of the closing date of the Merger, Cuattro International was renamed Heska Imaging International, LLC, ("International Imaging") and the Company's interest in both International Imaging and Heska Imaging US, LLC ("US Imaging") was transferred to the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Heska Imaging Global, LLC ("Global Imaging").
Mr. Wilson is a founder of Cuattro International, Cuattro, LLC, Cuattro Software, LLC and Cuattro Medical, LLC. Mr. Wilson, Mrs. Wilson and trusts for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson’s children and family own a 100% interest in Cuattro, LLC and a majority interest in Cuattro Medical, LLC.

There were cash payments of $12 thousand and $30 thousand , respectively, for income taxes, net of refunds, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , and there were $144 thousand and $206 thousand in cash payments for income taxes, net of refunds, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 . The Company’s effective tax rate decreased to a tax expense (benefit) of  10.2% and (1.6)% , respectively, for the three and six months ended  June 30, 2018 , compared to a tax expense of 32.9% and 1.1% , respectively, for the three and six months ended  June 30, 2017 . The decrease in rates for both periods was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation excess tax benefits which were partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for the second quarter of 2017 as opposed to no increase in the valuation allowance for the second quarter of 2018. The Company continues to analyze the different aspects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that was enacted in December 2017. Specifically, we continue to analyze the provisional amounts estimated for the transition tax, the possible impact of the “GILTI” tax, and the possible executive compensation limitations imposed by IRC Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
5.    EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted EPS is similar to the computation of basic EPS except that the numerator is increased to exclude charges that would not have been incurred, and the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding (using the if-converted and treasury stock methods), if securities containing potentially dilutive common shares (stock options and restricted stock units but excluding options to purchase fractional shares resulting from the Company's December 2010 1-for- 10 reverse stock split) had been converted to common shares, and if such assumed conversion is dilutive.
The following is a reconciliation of the weighted-average shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands, except per share data):

The Company has subscription agreements whereby its instruments in inventory may be placed at a customer's location on a rental basis. The cost of these instruments is transferred to machinery and equipment and depreciated, typically over a five -to- seven year period depending on the circumstance under which the instrument is placed with the customer.
Depreciation expense was $1.0 million for both of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 . Depreciation expense was $2.1 million and $2.0 million for the the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , respectively.

Our cost of instruments under operating leases as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 , was  $10.5 million  and  $10.8 million , respectively, before accumulated depreciation of  $5.6 million  and  $5.0 million , respectively, and the net book value was  $4.9 million  and  $5.8 million , respectively.

On May 1, 2017, the Company issued 2,720 shares of our Common Stock to the Company's non-employee directors. These grants were to vest (the "Vesting Time") in full on the latter of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of grant and (ii) the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year following the year of grant for the award (the "Vesting Meeting"), subject to (i) the non-employee director's continued service to the Company through the Vesting Time, unless the non-employee director’s current term expires at the Vesting Meeting in which case vesting is subject to the non-employee director’s service to the Vesting Meeting and (ii) the non-employee director not engaging in “competition”, as defined in a restricted stock grant agreement executed by the non-employee director, to the Vesting Time. Of these shares, all vested on May 3, 2018.
On May 31, 2017, the Company issued 23,700 unvested performance-based restricted stock shares to certain key employees. The vesting of these shares is subject to the achievement of certain Company performance and market conditions that must be met on or before May 30, 2024 .

Company's stock outperforming the S&P 500 Index over a  two  or  four  year time period, which will be forfeited if not achieved at the specified time. The stock options are to vest annually in  three  approximately equal tranches and immediately upon a change in control. 

On May 3, 2018, the Company issued 4,230 shares of our Common Stock to the Company's non-employee directors. These grants were to vest (the "Vesting Time") in full on the latter of (i) the one year anniversary of the date of grant or (ii) the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the year following the year of grant for the award (the "Vesting Meeting"), subject to (a) the non-employee director's continued service to the Company through the Vesting Time, unless the non-employee director’s current term expires at the Vesting Meeting, in which case vesting is subject to the non-employee director’s service to the Vesting Meeting, and (b) the non-employee director not engaging in “competition”, as defined in a restricted stock grant agreement executed by the non-employee director, until the Vesting Time. 

On May 3, 2018, the Company issued 33,000 shares of performance-based restricted common stock under the 1997 Plan to the Company's Chief Executive Officer, Kevin Wilson, which was contingent on stockholder approval to approve an increase of 250,000 common shares available for awards under the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan, which was approved consistent with the grant date. The vesting of the performance-based restricted shares is subject to the achievement of certain Company performance conditions and, in some instances, a service period requirement. The shares are to be forfeited if the applicable performance or market condition is not met by the date in each fiscal year that the Company's independent registered public accountants issue their financial report on the Company's prior fiscal year financial statements in 2025.

As of June 30, 2018, there was approximately  $3.5 million  of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock. The Company expects to recognize this expense over a weighted average period of  2.1  years.
Restrictions on the transfer of Company stock
The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), places restrictions (the "Transfer Restrictions") on the transfer of the Company's stock that could adversely affect the Company's ability to utilize its domestic federal net operating loss position. In particular, the Transfer Restrictions prevent the transfer of shares without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors if, as a consequence of such transfer, an individual, entity or groups of individuals or entities would become a 5-percent holder under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the related Treasury regulations, and also prevents any existing 5 -percent holder from increasing his or her ownership position in the Company without the approval of the Company's Board of Directors. Any transfer of shares in violation of the Transfer Restrictions (a "Transfer Violation") shall be void ab initio under the Certificate of Incorporation, and the Company's Board of Directors has procedures under the Certificate of Incorporation to remedy a Transfer Violation, including requiring the shares causing such Transfer Violation to be sold and any profit resulting from such sale to be transferred to a charitable entity chosen by the Company's Board of Directors in specified circumstances.

12.      COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company holds certain rights to market and manufacture products developed or created under certain research, development, and licensing agreements with various entities. In connection with such agreements, the Company has agreed to pay the entities royalties on net product sales. In each of the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , royalties of $0.1 million became payable under these agreements. In each of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 , royalties of $0.2 million became payable under these agreements.
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations. On March 12, 2015, a complaint was filed against us by Shaun Fauley in the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois alleging our transmittal of unauthorized faxes in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, as a class action seeking stated damages of the greater of actual monetary loss or five hundred dollars per violation. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter and at this time is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss. As of June 30, 2018 , the Company was not a party to any other legal proceedings that were expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or operating results.

The Company's current terms and conditions of sale include a limited warranty that its products and services will conform to published specifications at the time of shipment and a more extensive warranty related to certain of its products. The Company also sells a renewal warranty for certain of its products. The typical remedy for breach of warranty is to correct or replace any defective product, and if not possible or practical, the Company will accept the return of the defective product and refund the amount paid. Historically, the Company has incurred minimal warranty costs. The Company's warranty reserve was $0.2 million at both June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 .

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

Unconditional Purchase Obligations
The Company has contractual obligations with suppliers for unconditional annual minimum inventory purchases in the amounts of $29.8 million as of June 30, 2018 .

Operating Leases

14.    CREDIT FACILITY
On July 27, 2017, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase"), which was amended by us on May 11, 2018 (the "Facility Amendment") to allow us the additional flexibility to make potentially identified permitted investments, subject to agreed upon limitations. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility up to $30.0 million (the "Credit Facility"), although the amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $20.0 million up to a total of $50.0 million subject to receipt of additional lender commitments and other conditions. Any interest on borrowings due is to be charged at either the (i) rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by Chase as its prime rate in effect at its principal offices in New York City, subject to a floor, minus 1.65% , or (ii) the interest rate per annum equal to (a) LIBOR for the interest period in effect multiplied by (b) Chase's Statutory Reserve Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.10% and payable monthly. There is an annual minimum interest charge of $60 thousand under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants and are available for various corporate purposes, including general working capital, capital investments, and certain permitted acquisitions and investments. The Credit Agreement also permits us to issue letters of credit. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is July 27, 2020. The foregoing discussion of the Credit Facility is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 2, 2017, and the Facility Amendment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Periodic Report on Form 10-Q. At June 30, 2018 , we had a $6.0 million line of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and we were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.
This discussion contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 175 promulgated thereunder, that involve risks and uncertainties. Such statements, which include statements concerning future revenue sources and concentration, gross profit margins, selling and marketing expenses, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, capital resources, additional financings or borrowings and additional losses, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed in "Risk Factors" in Item 1A in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017 that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. The Risk Factors and others described in the Company’s periodic and current reports filed with the SEC from time to time are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those projected. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also harm the Company’s results. The forward-looking statements set forth in this Form 10-Q are as of the close of business on August 7, 2018 and we undertake no duty and do not intend to update this information, except as required by applicable laws. If we updated one or more forward looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above.
Overview
We sell advanced veterinary diagnostic and specialty products. Our offerings include Point of Care diagnostics laboratory instruments and consumables, Point of Care digital imaging diagnostics products, vaccines, local and cloud-based data services, allergy testing and immunotherapy, and single-use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostic tests and heartworm preventive products. Our core focus is on supporting veterinarians in the canine and feline healthcare space.
Our business is composed of two reportable segments, CCA and OVP. The CCA segment includes, primarily for canine and feline use, Point of Care laboratory instruments and consumables, digital imaging diagnostic instruments, software and services, local and cloud-based data services, allergy testing and immunotherapy, and single use offerings such as in-clinic diagnostic tests and heartworm preventive products. The OVP segment includes private label vaccine and pharmaceutical production, primarily for cattle but also for other species including equine, porcine, avian, feline and canine.
The CCA segment represented 90% and 86% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. The OVP segment represented 10% and 14% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. OVP products are sold by third parties under third party labels.
Revenue from Point of Care laboratory including instruments, consumables, and other revenue such as service, represented $15.1 million and $28.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Revenue in this area primarily involves placing an instrument under contract in the field and generating future revenue from testing consumables, such as cartridges and reagents, as that instrument is used. Approximately $11.5 million and $22.3 million of our revenue resulted from the sale of such testing consumables to an installed base of instruments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Approximately $3.2 million and $5.5 million of our revenue was from instrument sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Approximately $0.4 million and $0.9 million of our revenue was from other revenue sources, such as charges for repairs, for the three and six months ended

June 30, 2018 , respectively. Instruments placed under subscription agreements are considered operating or sales-type leases, depending on the duration and other factors of the underlying agreement. A loss of, or disruption in, the procurement of consumables we are selling to an installed base of instruments could substantially harm our business. All of our Point of Care laboratory and other non-imaging instruments and consumables are supplied by third parties, who typically own the product rights and supply the product to us under marketing and/or distribution agreements. In many cases, we have collaborated with a third party to adapt a human instrument for veterinary use. Major products in this area include our instruments for chemistry, hematology, blood gas, and immunodiagnostic testing and their affiliated operating consumables.
Point of Care Imaging hardware, software and services represented approximately $4.4 million and $10.4 million of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Digital radiography is the largest product offering in this area, which also includes ultrasound instruments. Digital radiography solutions typically consist of a combination of hardware and software placed with a customer, often combined with an ongoing service and support contract. We sell our imaging solutions both in the United States and internationally. Our experience has been that most of the revenue is generated at the time of sale in this area, in contrast to the Point of Care diagnostic laboratory placements discussed above where ongoing consumable revenue is often a larger component of economic value as a given instrument is used.
Other CCA revenue, including single use diagnostic and other tests, pharmaceuticals and biologicals as well as research and development, licensing and royalty revenue, represented approximately $7.1 million and $14.3 million of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , respectively. Since items in this area are often single use by their nature, our typical aim is to build customer satisfaction and loyalty for each product, generate repeat annual sales from existing customers and expand our customer base in the future. Products in this area are both supplied by third parties and provided by us. Major products and services in this area include heartworm diagnostic tests and preventives, and allergy test kits, allergy immunotherapy and testing.
We consider the CCA segment to be our core business and devote most of our management time and other resources to improving the prospects for this segment. Maintaining a continuing, reliable and economic supply of products we currently obtain from third parties is critical to our success in this area. Virtually all of our sales and marketing expenses occur in the CCA segment. The majority of our research and development spending is dedicated to this segment as well.
All of our CCA products are ultimately sold primarily to or through veterinarians. In many cases, veterinarians will mark up their costs to their customer. The acceptance of our products by veterinarians is critical to our success. CCA products are sold directly to end users by us as well as through distribution relationships, such as our agreement with Merck Animal Health, the sale of kits to conduct blood testing to third-party veterinary diagnostic laboratories and independent third-party distributors. Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented approximately 51% and 49%, respectively, of CCA revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , and approximately 52% and 48%, respectively, of CCA revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2018 .
The OVP segment includes our 168,000 square foot USDA- and FDA-licensed production facility in Des Moines, Iowa. We view this facility as an asset which could allow us to control our cost of goods on any pharmaceuticals and vaccines that we may commercialize in the future. We have increased integration of this facility with our operations elsewhere. For example, virtually all our U.S. inventory, excluding our imaging products, is now stored at this facility and related fulfillment logistics are managed there. CCA segment products manufactured at this facility are transferred at cost and are not recorded as revenue for our OVP segment. We view OVP reported revenue as revenue primarily to cover the overhead costs of the facility and to generate incremental cash flow to fund our CCA segment.

Historically, a significant portion of our OVP segment's revenue has been generated from the sale of certain bovine vaccines, which have been sold primarily under the Titanium® and MasterGuard® brands. We have an agreement with Eli Lilly and Company ("Eli Lilly") and its affiliates operating through Elanco for the production of these vaccines. Our OVP segment also produces vaccines and pharmaceuticals for other third parties.

Revenue
Total revenue decreased 11% to $29.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $33.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . Total revenue decreased 1% to $62.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $63.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 .
CCA segment revenue increased 2% to $26.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $26.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase was driven primarily by a 8% increase in revenue from Point of Care laboratory instruments and consumables, offset by a 8% decrease in revenue from sales of our imaging products, as well as a 2% decrease in single use pharmaceuticals and vaccines. CCA segment revenue increased 7% to $53.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $49.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase was driven primarily by a 12% increase in revenue from sales of our imaging products, a 7% increase in revenue from Point of Care laboratory instruments and consumables, as well as a 6% increase in single use pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
OVP segment revenue decreased 59% to $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $7.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . O VP segment revenue decreased 32% to $9.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $13.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The decrease in both periods is due to decreased volume of sales under our Elanco agreement as well as other customer contracts.
Gross Profit
Gross profit decreased 12% to $13.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $14.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . Gross margin, which is gross profit divided by total revenue, decreased to 44.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2018 compared to 44.7% in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by an 11% decrease in overall sales, while the decrease in gross margin percentage was driven primarily by unfavorable product mix and plant utilization charges in our OVP segment. Gross profit decreased 6% to $26.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $28.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . Gross margin decreased to 42.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to 44.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The decrease in gross profit was driven primarily by a 1% decrease in overall sales, while the decrease in gross margin percentage was driven by unfavorable product mix and plant utilization charges in our OVP segment.
Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses decreased 1% to $5.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $6.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . Selling and marketing expenses remained flat at $12.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to the six months ended June 30, 2017 .

- 28 -




Research and development expenses increased 26% to $ 0.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . Research and development expenses increased 26% to $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase in both periods was driven primarily by spending on product development for imaging solutions and heartworm preventive products.
General and administrative expenses increased 11% to $4.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase was driven primarily by a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation and a $0.1 million increase in compensation and benefits. General and administrative expenses increased 16% to $9.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $7.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The increase was driven by a $0.7 million increase in stock-based compensation, a $0.4 million increase in consulting fees, and a $0.2 million increase in severance expense.
Interest and Other Expense (Income), net
Interest and other expense (income), net, was $92 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $(118) thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2017 . This decrease in other income was driven primarily by an increase in net foreign currency losses and an increase in other losses. I nterest and other expense (income), net, was $88 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to $(180) thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The decrease in other income was primarily driven by an increase in net foreign currency losses, an increase in interest expense, and an increase in other losses.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
In the three months ended June 30, 2018 , we had a total income tax expense of $0.2 million , including $203 thousand of domestic deferred income tax expense and $12 thousand current income tax expense. In the three months ended June 30, 2017 , we had a total income tax expense of $1.5 million , including $1.5 million of domestic deferred income tax expense and $10 thousand of current income tax expense. In the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we had a total income tax benefit of $65 thousand , including $94 thousand of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $29 thousand current income tax expense. In the six months ended June 30, 2017 , we had a total income tax expense of $86 thousand , including $69 thousand of domestic deferred income tax expense and $17 thousand of current income tax expense. The decrease in rates for both periods was primarily attributable to an increase in stock-based compensation excess tax benefits which were partially offset by an increase in the valuation allowance for the second quarter of 2017 as opposed to no increase in the valuation allowance for the second quarter of 2018.
Net Income attributable to Heska
Net income attributable to Heska was $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to net income attributable to Heska of $3.3 million in the prior year period. Net income attributable to Heska was $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to net income attributable to Heska of $7.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 . The difference between this line item and "Net Income" is the net income or loss attributable to our minority interest in US Imaging, which we purchased on May 31, 2017. As a result of the purchase, there was no difference between these line items in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to a gain of $194 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2017 , and a gain of $498 thousand in the the six months ended June 30, 2017 .
Impact of Inflation
In recent years, inflation has not had a significant impact on our operations.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Condition
We believe that adequate liquidity and cash generation is important to the execution of our strategic initiatives. Our ability to fund our operations, acquisitions, capital expenditures, and product development efforts may depend on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, which is subject to future operating performance, as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory, and other conditions, some of which may be beyond our control. Our primary sources of liquidity are our available cash, cash generated from current operations and availability under our credit facilities noted below.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018 , we had net income of $1.9 million and net cash provided by operations of $4.5 million . At June 30, 2018 , we had $13.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and working capital of $42.5 million .
On July 27, 2017, we entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("Chase"), which was amended by us on May 11, 2018 (the "Facility Amendment") to allow us the additional flexibility to make potentially identified permitted investments, subject to agreed upon limitations. The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility up to $30.0 million (the "Credit Facility"), although the amount of the Credit Facility may be increased by an additional $20.0 million up to a total of $50.0 million subject to receipt of additional lender commitments and other conditions. Any interest on borrowings due is to be charged at either the (i) rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by Chase as its prime rate in effect at its principal offices in New York City, subject to a floor, minus 1.65% , or (ii) the interest rate per annum equal to (a) LIBOR for the interest period in effect multiplied by (b) Chase's Statutory Reserve Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus 1.10% and payable monthly. There is an annual minimum interest charge of $60 thousand under the Credit Agreement. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to certain financial and non-financial covenants and are available for various corporate purposes, including general working capital, capital investments, and certain permitted acquisitions and investments. The Credit Agreement also permits us to issue letters of credit. The maturity date of the Credit Facility is July 27, 2020. The foregoing discussion of the Credit Facility is a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, a copy of which has been filed as an exhibit to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 2, 2017, and the Facility Amendment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Periodic Report on Form 10-Q. At June 30, 2018 , we had a $6.0 million line of credit outstanding under the Credit Facility and were in compliance with all financial covenants.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $4.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 , a decrease of approximately $0.4 million . The decrease in cash provided by operations was driven primarily by a $3.9

million increase in cash used for accounts payable, a $3.6 million decrease in cash provided by accounts receivable, a $3.4 million decrease in net income, a $0.7 million increase in cash used by deferred revenue, and a $0.6 million increase in cash used for other non-current assets. These factors were partially offset by a $9.1 million decrease in cash used for inventory, a $1.6 million decrease in cash used by lease receivables, and a $1.0 million increase in stock-based compensation.
Net cash used in investing activities was $0.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to net cash used in investing activities of $15.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 , a decrease of approximately $14.2 million . The decrease was driven by our 2017 purchase of the minority interest in Heska Imaging for $13.8 million, and a $0.5 million decrease in cash used for purchases of property and equipment.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $3.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2017 , a decrease of $2.7 million . The change was driven primarily by a $3.4 million decrease in borrowings, net of repayments, and a $0.3 million increase in stock repurchased to cover employee tax payments, offset by a $0.8 million decrease in distributions to non-controlling interest members.
Our financial plan for 2018 indicates that our available cash and cash equivalents, together with cash from operations and borrowings expected to be available under our Credit Facility, will be sufficient to fund our operations for the foreseeable future. Additionally, we would consider further acquisitions if we felt they were consistent with our strategic direction. However, our actual results may differ from this plan and we may be required to consider alternative strategies. We may be required to raise additional capital in the future. If necessary, we expect to raise these additional funds through the increased sale of customer leases, the sale of equity securities or the issuance of new term debt. There is no guarantee that additional capital will be available from these sources on acceptable terms, if at all, and certain of these sources may require approval by existing lenders. See "Risk Factors" in Item 1A in Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017 for a discussion of some of the factors that affect our capital raising alternatives.

Effect of currency translation on cash
Net effect of foreign currency translations on cash changed $99 thousand to a $ 8 thousand negative impact in the six months ended June 30, 2018 , compared to a $ 91 thousand positive impact in the six months ended June 30, 2017 . These effects are related to changes in exchange rates between the United States dollar and the Swiss Franc, which is the functional currency of our Swiss subsidiary.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
The Company has not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities whereby the Company has financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments, or other contingent arrangements that expose the Company to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities, or any other obligation under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provided financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the Company, or engages in leasing, hedging or R&D services with the Company.
Purchase Obligations
Purchase obligations represent contractual agreements to purchase goods or services that are legally binding and specify a fixed, minimum or range of quantities; specify a fixed, minimum, variable, or indexed price provision; and specify approximate timing of the transaction. As of June 30, 2018 the Company had purchase obligations of $29.8 million.

- 31 -




Operating Leases
As of June 30, 2018 , the Company's total future minimum lease payments under noncancelable operating leases were $10.6 million .
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Refer to Note 1 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Part I Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.


Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see the section under the heading “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the market risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2017.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined by Rule 13a-15c of the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.    Legal Proceedings
Heska is currently involved in claims, pending or threatened litigation or other legal proceedings, investigations and/or regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of business, including, among others, those relating to product liability claims, employment matters, workers' compensation claims, contractual disputes, product warranty claims, and alleged violations of various laws and regulations. Heska accrues for known individual matters using estimates of the most likely known amount of loss where it believes that it is probable the matter will result in a loss when ultimately resolved and such loss is reasonably estimable.

- 32 -




On March 12, 2015, a complaint was filed against us by Shaun Fauley in the United States District Court Northern District of Illinois alleging our transmittal of unauthorized faxes in violation of the federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act of 2005, as a class action seeking stated damages of the greater of actual monetary loss or five hundred dollars per violation. The Company intends to defend itself vigorously in this matter and at this time is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss.
While the outcome of pending claims, legal and regulatory proceedings, and investigations cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that any liabilities that may result from these claims, proceedings, and investigations, will not have a material effect on Heska's liquidity, financial condition, or results of operations.

To be properly brought before the annual meeting, business must be either (a) specified in the notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, (b) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by or at the direction of the Board or the Chief Executive Officer, or (c) otherwise properly brought before the meeting by a stockholder of record.

When a meeting is adjourned to another place, date or time, written notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the place, if any, date and time thereof and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxy holders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken; provided, however, that if the date of any adjourned meeting is more than thirty (30) days after the date for which the meeting was originally noticed, or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, written notice of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting shall

Whenever, under the provisions of Delaware law or of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, notice is required to be given to any stockholder it shall not be construed to mean personal notice, but such notice (a) may be given in writing, by mail, addressed to such stockholder, at his or her address as it appears on the records of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid, and such notice shall be deemed to be given at the time when the same shall be deposited in the United States mail or (b) may be given by a form of electronic transmission consented to by the stockholder to whom the notice is given.
Whenever any notice is required to be given under the provisions of Delaware law or of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or of these Bylaws, a waiver thereof in writing, signed by the person or persons entitled to said notice, or a waiver by electronic transmission by the person entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent thereto.

Such list shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting: (a) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that the information required to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting, or (b) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the corporation. If the meeting is to be held at a place, then the list shall be produced and kept at the place of the meeting during the whole time thereof, and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present in person thereat. If the meeting is to be held solely by means of remote communication, then the list shall also be open to the examination of any stockholder during the whole time of the meeting on a reasonably accessible electronic network, and the information required to access such list shall be provided with the notice of the meeting.

In the absence of the Secretary of the corporation, the Secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the Chair appoints.

The stockholders present at a duly called or held meeting at which a quorum is present may continue to do business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to have less than a quorum if any action taken (other than adjournment) is approved by at least a majority of the shares required to constitute a quorum. At any adjourned meeting at which a quorum is present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. If, however, a quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the stockholders, the stockholders entitled to vote thereat who are present in person or represented by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

For purposes of determining whether shares are present and entitled to vote with respect to any particular subject matter, abstentions and non-votes with respect to such subject matter shall be treated as not present or entitled to vote on such subject matter, but shall be treated as present and entitled to vote for all other purposes.

If the Board does not so fix a record date, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which notice is given or, if notice is waived, at the close of business on the business day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held.
(ii)      For purposes of determining the stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, the Board may fix a record date, which record date shall not precede the

-4-



date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board, and which date shall not be more than ten (10) days after the date upon which the resolution fixing such record date is adopted by the Board. If no record date has been fixed by the Board, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to consent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, when no prior action by the Board is required under Delaware law, shall be the first date on which a signed written consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to the corporation by hand or certified mail, return receipt requested, to its principal executive office, or to an officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded.

2.13      Proxies .  To the extent permitted by law, any stockholder of record may appoint a person or persons to act as the stockholder's proxy or proxies at any stockholder meeting for the purpose of representing and voting the stockholders' shares. The stockholder may make this appointment by any means the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware specifically authorizes, and by any other means the Secretary of the corporation may permit. A validly executed proxy which does not state that it is irrevocable shall continue in full force and effect unless (i) revoked by the person executing it, before the vote pursuant to that proxy, by a writing delivered to the corporation stating that the proxy is revoked or by a subsequent proxy executed by, or attendance at the meeting and voting in person by, the person executing the proxy; or (ii) written notice of the death or incapacity of the maker of that proxy is received by the corporation before the vote pursuant to that proxy is counted; provided, however, that no proxy shall be valid after the expiration of three years from the date of the proxy, unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

RECITALS
WHEREFORE, Executive is currently the Executive Vice President, International Diagnostics of Heska.
WHEREFORE, Executive and Heska now wish to enter into this Agreement regarding the terms of Executive’s employment, which shall become effective upon execution.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual promises, covenants, and agreements contained herein, the legal sufficiency of which is acknowledged by the Parties, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows:
TERMS
1.
Duties and Scope of Employment .
a.      Position and Duties . As of the Effective Date, Executive will serve as Executive Vice President, International Diagnostics of Heska. Executive will render such business and professional services in the performance of Executive’s duties, consistent with Executive’s position within Heska, as will reasonably be assigned to Executive by Heska’s Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, or their supervisor. Executive’s duties will be subject to review and adjustments will be made at the discretion of the Executive’s supervisor and superiors.
b.      Obligations . During the Term of Agreement (as defined below), Executive will devote Executive’s full attention, skills, time and business efforts to Heska. For the duration of the Term of Agreement, Executive agrees not to actively engage in any other employment, occupation, or consulting activity, for any direct or indirect remuneration, without the prior approval of the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, that Executive may, without the approval of the Board or the Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, serve in any capacity with any civic, educational, or charitable organization, provided such services do not interfere with Executive’s obligations to Heska.
2. Term of Agreement .
a.      The period of Executive’s employment under this Agreement is referred to herein as the “ Term of Agreement .” Subject to the provisions for earlier termination of employment in Section 6 below, this Agreement will have an initial term of thirty-six (36) months commencing

4666611v3


on the Effective Date. On the 3 rd anniversary of the Effective Date, and on each annual anniversary of the Effective Date thereafter, this Agreement automatically will renew for an additional twelve-month term unless Heska provides Executive with notice of non-renewal at least 120 days prior to the date of automatic renewal; provided, however, that either Heska or Executive may terminate Executive’s employment immediately at any time subject to the provisions in Section 6 below.
b.      Executive may be entitled to severance benefits pursuant to Section 6 below, depending upon the circumstances of Executive’s termination of employment. Executive will not be entitled to severance benefits if Heska provides Executive with notice of non-renewal pursuant to Section 2(a) above, regardless of the reason. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive will be entitled to payment of all expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through Executive’s termination date under any Heska-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements. Executive agrees to resign from all positions that Executive holds with Heska, without limitation, immediately following the termination of Executive’s employment if the Board so requests.
3. Compensation .
a.      Base Salary . Heska will pay Executive an annual salary of $300,000.00 as compensation for Executive’s services (the “ Base Salary ”). The Base Salary will be paid periodically in accordance with Heska’s normal payroll practices and will be subject to the usual, required withholdings and deductions. Executive’s salary will be subject to review, and adjustments will be made at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board (the “ Committee ”) and based upon Heska’s standard practices.
b.      Annual Bonus . During the Term of Agreement, Executive will be eligible to participate in the Management Incentive Plan (“ MIP ”), a compensation plan intended to reward near term performance (i.e. no longer than the coming year) which may be available from time to time at the discretion of the Committee. MIP Payouts, if any, will accrue and become payable in accordance with the Committee’s standard practices for paying executive incentive compensation, provided, however, that any bonus payable under this subsection will be payable within two-and-one-half (2-1/2) months after the end of the taxable year to which it relates or such longer period as may be permitted by Treasury regulations in order to avoid application of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “ Code ”) to such MIP Payouts. Any MIP Payouts paid pursuant to this Section will be subject to applicable withholdings and deductions.
4. Expenses . In addition to the foregoing, Heska will reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable out-of-pocket travel, entertainment, and other expenses, in accordance with Heska’s expense reimbursement policies and practices in effect at the time of the reimbursement request.

If Executive does not provide written identification to Heska of which benefits Executive chooses to reduce within ten (10) days after written notice of the accountants’ determination, and Executive has not disputed the accountants’ determination, then Heska shall select the benefits to be reduced. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 6(d), the accountants may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning

B.      a material diminution in Executive’s Base Salary as in effect immediately prior to such diminution; provided, that an across-the-board reduction in the base compensation and benefits of all other executive officers of Heska by the same percentage amount (or under the same terms and conditions) as part of a general base compensation reduction and/or benefit reduction shall not constitute such a qualifying material diminution;
C.      a material change in the geographic location of Executive’s principal place of employment such that the new location results in a commute for Executive

that is both (A) longer than Executive’s commute prior to the relocation and (B) greater than fifty (50) road miles each way from Executive’s home in the Front Range area of Colorado;
D.      any material breach by Heska of any provision of this Agreement; and
E.      any acquiring company fails to assume or be bound by the terms of this Agreement In Connection with a Change of Control;
ii.      The aforementioned occurrences shall not be deemed Good Reason unless Executive gives Heska written notice of the existence of the condition which Executive believes constitutes Good Reason (which notice must be given within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the condition) and such condition remains uncured for a period of thirty (30) days after the date of such notice. An event of Good Reason shall occur automatically at the expiration of such 30-day period if the relevant condition remains uncured at such time.
g.      In Connection with a Change of Control . For purposes of this Agreement, a termination of Executive’s employment with Heska is “ In Connection with a Change of Control ” if Executive’s employment is terminated without Cause or for Good Reason during the period beginning three (3) months prior to a Change of Control and ending eighteen (18) months following a Change of Control.
9. Confidential Information . Executive acknowledges that Executive has executed Heska’s standard employee Confidential Information and Invention Agreement (the “ Confidentiality Agreement ”). During the Term of Agreement, and for twenty-four (24) months after termination of Executive’s employment, Executive agrees, if requested by Heska, to execute any updated versions of Heska’s form of employee confidential information agreement as may be required of substantially all of Heska’s executive officers.
10. Executive’s Representations and Warranties . Executive represents and warrants that Executive is not a party to any other employment, non-competition, or other agreement or restriction which could interfere with the Executive’s employment with Heska or Executive’s or Heska’s rights and obligations hereunder and that Executive’s acceptance of employment with Heska and the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder will not breach the provisions of any contract, agreement, or understanding to which the Executive is party or any duty owed by the Executive to any other person.
11. Notices . All notices, requests, demands, and other communications called for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally,
(b) one (1) day after being delivered through a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (c) five (5) business days after the date of mailing if sent certified or registered mail. Notice to Heska shall be sent to its principal place of business with a copy provided by facsimile to the Chair of the Committee, and notice to Executive will be delivered personally or sent to Executive’s last known address provided to Heska.

12. Successors and Assigns . This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of (a) the heirs, executors, and legal representatives of Executive upon Executive’s death and
(b) any successor of Heska. Any such Successor (as defined below) of Heska will be deemed substituted for Heska under the terms of this Agreement for all purposes. For purposes of this Section, “
Successor ” means any person, firm, corporation, or other business entity which at any time, whether by purchase, merger, or otherwise, directly or indirectly, acquires all or substantially all of the assets or business of Heska. None of the rights of Executive to receive any form of compensation payable pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned or transferred except by will or the laws of descent and distribution. Any other attempted assignment, transfer, conveyance, or other disposition of Executive’s right to compensation or other benefits will be null and void.
13. Integration . This Agreement, together with the Confidentiality Agreement, Heska’s stock plans, and Executive’s stock option and restricted stock agreements, represents the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties as to the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements whether written or oral, including the Prior Agreement. No waiver, alteration, or modification of any of the provisions of this Agreement will be binding unless in writing that specifically references this Section and is signed by duly authorized representatives of the Parties hereto.
14. Interpretation . Article titles and section headings contained herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The determination of the terms of, and the drafting of, this Agreement has been by mutual agreement after negotiation, with consideration by and participation of all Parties. Accordingly, the Parties agree that rules relating to the interpretation of contracts against the drafter of any particular clause shall not apply in the case of this Agreement.
15. Waivers . Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the Party or Parties entitled to the benefit thereof. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any Party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such Party. The failure of any Party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
16. Severability . If any provision of this Agreement is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such holding shall not affect any other provisions hereof. In the event any provision is held illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited so as to give effect to the intent of the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Any claim by Executive against Heska shall not constitute a defense to enforcement by Heska.
17. Tax Matters .

10



a.      Except as provided in Section 6(d) above, Executive agrees that Executive is responsible for any applicable taxes of any nature (including any penalties or interest that may apply to such taxes) that are reasonably determined to apply to any payment made to Executive hereunder (or any arrangement contemplated hereunder), that Executive’s receipt of any benefit hereunder is conditioned on Executive’s satisfaction of any applicable withholding or similar obligations that apply to such benefit, and that any cash payment owed to Executive hereunder will be reduced to satisfy any such withholding or similar obligations that may apply thereto.
b.      Executive acknowledges that no representative or agent of Heska has provided Executive with any tax advice of any nature, and Executive has consulted with Executive’s own legal, tax, and financial advisor(s) as to tax and related matters concerning the compensation to be received under this Agreement.
18. Section 409A .
a.      This Agreement is intended to comply with Section 409A of the Code, as amended (“ Section 409A ”) and shall be construed accordingly. It is the intention of the parties that payments or benefits payable under this Agreement not be subject to the additional tax or interest imposed pursuant to Section 409A. To the extent such potential payments or benefits are or could become subject to Section 409A, the parties shall cooperate to amend this Agreement with the goal of giving Executive the economic benefits described herein in a manner that does not result in such tax or interest being imposed; provided, however, that no such amendment shall materially increase the cost to, or impose any liability on Heska with respect to any benefits contemplated or provided hereunder. Executive shall, at the request of Heska, take any reasonable action (or refrain from taking any action), required to comply with any correction procedure promulgated pursuant to Section 409A.
b.      If a payment that could be made under this Agreement would be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A, Heska in its sole discretion may accelerate some or all of a payment otherwise payable under the Agreement to the time at which such amount is includible in the income of Executive, provided that such acceleration shall only be permitted to the extent permitted under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4)(vii) and the amount of such acceleration does not exceed the amount permitted under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(vii).
c.      No payment to be made under this Agreement shall be made at a time earlier than that provided for in this Agreement unless such payment is (i) an acceleration of payment permitted to be made under Treasury Regulation § 1.409A-3(j)(4) or (ii) a payment that would otherwise not be subject to additional taxes and interest under Section 409A.
d.      The right to each payment described in this Agreement shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments and a separately identifiable payment for purposes of Section 409A.
e.      For purposes of Section 6 of this Agreement, “termination” (or any similar term) when used in reference to Executive’s employment shall mean “separation from service” with

11



Heska within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder, and Executive shall be considered to have terminated employment with Heska when, and only when, Executive incurs a “separation from service” with Heska within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder.
f.      If Executive qualifies as a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code and would receive any payment sooner than six (6) months after Executive’s separation from service that, absent the application of this Section 19(f), would be subject to additional tax imposed pursuant to Section 409A as a result of such status as a specified employee, then such payment shall instead be payable on the date that is the earliest of (i) six (6) months after Executive’s separation from service, (ii)  Executive’s death, or (iii) such other date as will not result in such payment being subject to such additional tax.
19. Governing Law; Waiver of Jury Trial . This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Colorado without regard to conflict of law principles. The Parties hereto each waive their respective rights to a jury trial of any and all such claims and causes of action.
20. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and each counterpart will have the same force and effect as an original and will constitute an effective, binding agreement on the part of each of the undersigned.

1.2      Grant of Stock . The Company hereby grants to Executive an aggregate of     33,000     shares of Restricted Stock (the “ Shares ”), subject to vesting as provided in Section 2.
Section 2.      UNVESTED SHARES SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE.

c.      In the event that Executive’s employment with the Company is terminated at least one (1) year following the Grant Date because of either (i) Executive’s death or (ii) Executive’s total and permanent disability, any remaining unvested Shares will vest. For this purpose, “total and permanent disability” means that, by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than twelve (12) months, the Executive either (i) is unable to perform the business and professional services in the performance of Executive's duties, consistent with Executive's position within Heska, as prior reasonably assigned to Executive by the Board, or (ii) is receiving income replacement benefits for a period of not less than three (3) months under an accident and health plan covering Heska employees.

Section 3.      STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS
3.1      Stock Register and Certificates . The Shares will be recorded in the stock register of the Company in the name of Executive. If applicable, a stock certificate or certificates representing the Shares will be registered in the name of Executive, but such certificates shall remain in the custody of the Company. Executive shall deposit with the Company a Stock Assignment Separate from Certificate in the form attached below as Attachment 2, endorsed in blank, so as to permit retransfer to the Company of all or a portion of the Shares that are forfeited or otherwise do not become vested in accordance with the Plan and this Agreement.
