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 diagnostic laboratory instruments and supplies; 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
The accompanying interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are unaudited. The interim unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal, recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2020, and the results of our operations and statements of stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.
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 ("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 is 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 redeemable 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 for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 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 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 net realizable value of 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 and investments for estimated useful lives and 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; determining the need for, and the amount of a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets; determining the value of the non-controlling interest

in a business combination; and determining the fair value of the liability component associated with the issuance of convertible debt.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2019, and other than the recently adopted accounting pronouncements described below have not changed materially since such filing.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), which requires 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. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, in November 2018. This ASU clarifies that receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which further clarifies and improves guidance related to accounting for credit losses. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). This ASU provides relief to certain entities adopting ASU 2016-13. The amendment provides entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 with a cumulative-effect adjustment in retained earnings as of January 1, 2020. The impact of the adoption was not material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. We continuously monitor our customers' credit worthiness and establish allowances for estimated credit losses related to our accounts receivable, net investment in leases, and promissory notes. Our allowances are established based on factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical experience including collections and write-off history, and current economic conditions. Account Balances are considered past due if payments have not been received within agreed upon invoice and/or contract terms and the Company may employ collection agencies and legal counsel to pursue recovery of defaulted amounts. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The Company also performs a qualitative assessment, on a quarterly basis, to monitor economic factors and other uncertainties that may require additional adjustments for the expected credit loss allowance. The Company will continue to actively monitor the impact of the recent coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic on expected credit losses.
Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to the accounting for income taxes. ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. This guidance will be effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

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



In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01, Investments-Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). The amendments in this ASU clarify the interaction between the accounting for investments in equity securities, investment in equity method and certain derivatives instruments. The ASU is expected to reduce diversity in practice and increase comparability of the accounting for these interactions. This guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

2.  REVENUE

Remaining Performance Obligations

Remaining performance obligations 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 non-cancelable 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, 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.

As of June 30, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining minimum performance obligations was approximately $128.2 million. As of June 30, 2020, the Company expects to recognize revenue as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, Revenue
2020 (remaining) $ 14,944

Contract Balances

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets) and deferred revenue, and 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 Receivables

Certain unbilled receivable balances related to long-term contracts for which we provide a free term to the customer are recorded in "Other current assets" and "Other non-current assets" on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have no further performance obligations related to these receivable balances and the collection of these balances occurs over the term of the underlying contract. The balances as of June 30, 2020 were $1.2 million and $3.9 million for current and non-current assets, respectively, shown net of related unearned interest. The balances as of December 31, 2019 were $1.1 million and $3.7 million for current and non-current assets, respectively, shown net of related unearned interest.

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, 2020 and December 31, 2019, contract liabilities were $8.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively, and are included within "Deferred revenue, current, and other" and "Deferred revenue, non-current" in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The decrease in the contract liability balance during the six-month period ended June 30, 2020 is approximately $2.0 million of revenue recognized during the period, offset by approximately $1.3 million of additional deferred sales in 2020 and the acquisition of scil contract liabilities of $0.6 million. Contract liabilities are reported on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a contract-by-contract basis.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND RELATED PARTY ITEMS
scil Acquisition
On April 1, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of scil animal care company GmbH (“scil”) from Covetrus, Inc. The Company purchased 100% of the capital stock of scil for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $111 million in cash. The acquisition represents a key milestone in the Company's long-term strategic plan creating a global veterinary diagnostics company with leadership positions in key geographic markets. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets, resulting in goodwill of $48.1 million, of which $39.2 million is within our International segment and $8.9 million is within our North America segment. All of the goodwill is tax deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes which may result in a decrease to Heska's future U.S. federal tax liability.

The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. ASC 805 requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values, as determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, as of the acquisition date. As such, the total purchase consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a preliminary estimate of their fair values as of April 1, 2020. The total purchase consideration is subject to customary working capital adjustments.

Total fair value of consideration transferred $ 111,564   

The Company's preliminary estimates of fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are based on the information currently available, and the Company is continuing to evaluate the underlying inputs and assumptions used in its valuations. Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of the acquisition. Among items still being evaluated is an existing uncertain tax position of approximately $1.0 million that scil had prior to acquisition. This tax position is still being evaluated during the allowed measurement period. The uncertain tax position may or may not change based on the results of the evaluation. A decrease in the fair value of assets acquired or an increase in the fair value of liabilities assumed in the acquisition from those valuations would result in a corresponding increase in the amount of goodwill from the acquisition.

CVM
On December 5, 2019, Heska entered into a definitive agreement to purchase 100% of the outstanding shares of CVM Diagnostico Veternario S.L. and CVM Ecografia S.L. (collectively, “CVM”), primarily to expand international operations in Europe. CVM is headquartered in Tudela, outside of Madrid, Spain. CVM mainly operates in Spain. The terms of the agreement transferred control of CVM upon signing, and the transfer of the purchase price of approximately $14.4 million and shares occurred in January 2020. The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the identifiable net assets and, accordingly, $8.9 million was allocated to goodwill within the International segment based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, all of which is tax deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The preliminary fair values allocated to CVM's assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date, as well as the purchase price, are reflected in the table below (in thousands):

Accordingly, these preliminary estimates are subject to change during the measurement period, which is up to one year from the date of the acquisition. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company made certain valuation adjustments to provisional amounts previously recognized. These adjustments resulted in a net $110 thousand increase of goodwill, primarily due to fair value adjustments resulting in a decrease in net identifiable assets acquired.

CVM management conducts related party activities with Practice Clinicas Veterinarias Moviles, S.L. ("CVM Practice"), which is owned by CVM's management. CVM leases two warehouses from CVM Practice and is the debtor of two loans with CVM Practice. CVM Practice charged CVM $15 thousand and $0 during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, all of which is related to lease payments. The right-of-use asset and lease liability amounts related to the warehouse leases were approximately $169 thousand and $0 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. All accrued interest is due upon termination of the loans with CVM Practice and as such, the amount due includes principal and interest. The Company had payables to CVM Practice of approximately $1.0 million and $0 as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which is included in "Related party loan" on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The change from December 31, 2019 to June 30, 2020 is due to a reorganization regarding CVM management and the control that they exercise subsequent to the scil acquisition.

The 2019 charges primarily related to digital imaging products, pursuant to an underlying supply contract that contains minimum purchase obligations, software and services as well as other operating expenses. Pursuant to the December 18, 2018 transaction in which the Company acquired certain assets from Cuattro, Cuattro was obligated, without further compensation, to assist the Company with the implementation of a third-party image hosting platform and necessary data migration. The implementation and migration were completed, on schedule, as of June 30, 2020 and as such there will be no further related party activities with Cuattro.

The Company had no receivables from or payables to Cuattro as of June 30, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

Non-marketable equity security investment 3,018    3,018   
$ 7,265    $ 7,424   
Equity Method Investment
On September 24, 2018, we invested approximately $5.1 million, including costs, in exchange for an approximately 25.0% interest of a business as part of our product development strategy. In connection with the investment, the Company entered into a Manufacturing Supply Agreement that grants the Company global exclusivity to specified products to be delivered under the agreement for a 15-year period that begins upon the Company's receipt and acceptance of an initial order under the agreement. The Company accounts for this investment using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the carrying value of the investment is adjusted for the Company's proportionate share of the investee's reported earnings or losses with the corresponding share of earnings or losses reported as Equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates, listed below Net income before equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
Non-Marketable Equity Security Investment

On August 8, 2018, the Company invested approximately $3.0 million, including costs, in MBio Diagnostics, Inc. ("MBio"), in exchange for preferred stock, representing an approximately 5.0% interest in MBio. The Company’s investment in MBio is a non-marketable equity security, recorded using the measurement alternative of cost minus impairment, if any, plus or minus changes resulting from qualifying observable price changes.

As part of the agreement, the Company entered into a Supply and License Agreement with MBio, which provides that MBio produce and commercialize products that will enhance the Company's diagnostic portfolio. As part of this agreement, the Company made an upfront payment to MBio of $1.0 million related to a worldwide exclusive license agreement over a 20-year period, recorded in both short and long-term other

assets. In addition, the agreement provides for an additional contingent payment from Heska to MBio of $10.0 million, relating to the successful achievement of sales milestones. This potential future milestone payment has not yet been accrued as it is not deemed by the Company to be probable at this time.

Both parties in this arrangement are active participants and are exposed to significant risks and rewards dependent on the commercial success of the activities of the collaboration. The parties are actively working on developing and testing the product as well as funding the research and development. Heska classifies the amounts paid for MBio's research and development work within the North America segment research and development operating expenses. Expense is recognized ratably when incurred and in accordance with the development plan.

Total income tax benefit (212)   (426)   (1,720)   (1,436)  
         
There were cash payments for income taxes of $340 thousand and $347 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and there were cash payments of $28 thousand and cash refunds, net of payments, of $0.1 million, respectively, for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. The Company’s tax benefit was $0.2 million and $1.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to the tax benefit of $0.4 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in tax benefits in the six month period is due to the higher financial loss offset by transaction costs and a small increase in the partial valuation allowance further discussed below. The Company recognized $0.2 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.3 million recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company recognized $0.5 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.4 million recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company assessed whether the reduction of future taxable income due to the lingering effects from COVID-19 would cause a larger portion of our deferred tax assets to likely expire unrealized. The Company recorded an additional $0.3 million to the current partial valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2020. The Company will continue to closely monitor the need for an additional valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets in each subsequent reporting period which can be impacted by actual operating results compared to the Company's forecast.

As more fully described in Note 16, our Notes are convertible under certain circumstances, as defined in the indenture, into a combination of cash and shares of our common stock. The Company intends to settle the principal value of the Notes in cash and issue shares of our common stock to settle the intrinsic value of the conversion feature. The Company will use the treasury stock method when calculating the potential dilutive effect of the conversion feature on earnings per share, if any. Potential dilution upon conversion of the Notes occurs when the average market price per share of our common stock is greater than the conversion price of the Notes of $86.63. For the periods presented, all potentially dilutive shares relating to the Notes were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

As discussed in Note 12, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 122,000 shares of its Preferred Stock to certain investors in a private placement offering. The shares were converted into 1,508,964 shares of Public Common Stock, effective on April 21, 2020. The potential dilutive effect of the convertible preferred stock was calculated using the if-converted method for the period the preferred shares were outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, these shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been anti-dilutive.

As a result of the recent global economic disruption and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company concluded a triggering event had occurred as of March 31, 2020, and accordingly, performed interim impairment testing during the first quarter. Based on the qualitative assessment performed, we concluded that no indications of impairment existed. No triggering events were identified in the second quarter to require additional impairment testing.

(per option/award)
Stock options 305,250    $ 23.38   
Restricted stock awards 30,500    $ 66.92   
The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the grant date fair value of stock options with service and/or company performance conditions. The model used the following weighted average assumptions: risk-free interest rate of 0.24%, expected volatility of 46.0% based on historical stock volatility, expected term of 4.5 years based on historical exercises, and no expected dividend yield. For stock options with market conditions, we utilized a Monte Carlo simulation model to estimate grant date fair value. Compensation cost is recognized ratably over the vesting periods of the options.
We valued the restricted stock awards related to service and/or company performance targets based on grant date fair value and will expense over the period when achievement of those conditions is deemed probable.

Series X Convertible Preferred Stock

On March 30, 2020, the Company completed a private placement offering in which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 122,000 shares of its Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). The shares of Preferred Stock issued and sold were priced at $1,000 per share (the “Stated Value”), resulting in gross proceeds of $122.0 million, less issuance costs of $0.2 million. The Company used approximately $111 million of the proceeds from the offering to fund the April 1, 2020 acquisition of scil and plans to use the remaining proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The offering was made pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), dated as of January 12, 2020, by and among the Company and certain investors, and subsequent amendment (the “Securities Purchase Agreement Amendment”) to the Securities Purchase agreement, entered

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


into by the Company and each investor on March 30, 2020 (the Securities Purchase Agreement as amended by the Securities Purchase Agreement Amendment, the “Amended Securities Purchase Agreement”).

The shares of Preferred Stock were convertible into shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an initial ratio of approximately 12.4 shares of Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock (equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $80.85 per share of common stock), at the option of the holders of the Preferred Stock or the Company, subject to the Company possessing sufficient unissued and otherwise unreserved shares of Common Stock under the Company’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”). On April 14, 2020, the Company gave notice of its exercise of its right to convert the 122,000 shares of Preferred Stock into 1,508,964 shares of Public Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares") and the conversion was effective on April 21, 2020. The conversion resulted in dilution of less than 20% of total shares of the Company’s Public Common Stock currently issued and outstanding. A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-238005) registering the Conversion Shares for resale was filed by us with the SEC on May 5, 2020.

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Warranties

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 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 $0.5 million and $0.3 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations. The Company records accruals for outstanding legal matters when it believes it is probable that a loss will be incurred, and the amount can be reasonably estimated.

On February 18, 2020, a former managing director of scil filed a claim disputing the effective date of the termination of his management service agreement and the validity of the Company´s waiver of his two-year post-contractual non-compete obligation. The Company intends to defend itself against the claim. Whether or not this will be successful, depends on complex facts and circumstances. The Company is, based on the

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)


advice of its legal counsel, confident that it will be successful in evidencing the effective date of the termination of the management service agreement and as such, no accrual has been recorded for this ongoing litigation. Additionally, we are indemnified by the scil acquisition agreement for this claim.

On October 10, 2018, we reached an agreement in principle to settle the complaint that was filed against the Company by Shaun Fauley on March 12, 2015 in the U.S. District Court Northern District of Illinois (the "Court") 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 (the "Fauley Complaint"). The settlement, which received the Court's approval on February 28, 2019 and was not subsequently appealed by a class member, required us to make available a total of $6.8 million to pay class members, as well as to pay attorneys' fees and expenses to legal counsel to the class. The Company recorded the loss provision in the third quarter of 2018 in connection with the settlement agreement and does not have insurance coverage for the Fauley Complaint. The payment in respect of the settlement was made in full on April 3, 2019, and all activity related to the Fauley Complaint has ceased.

As of June 30, 2020, 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Commitments

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or variable interest entities.

Purchase Obligations

The Company has contractual obligations with suppliers for unconditional annual minimum inventory purchases in the amounts of $25.5 million as of June 30, 2020.

16. CONVERTIBLE NOTES AND CREDIT FACILITY

Convertible Notes

On September 17, 2019, the Company issued $86.25 million aggregate principal amount of 3.750% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 (the "Notes"), which included the exercise in full of an $11.25 million purchase option, to certain financial institutions as the initial purchasers of the Notes (the "Initial Purchasers"). The Company pays interest on the Notes semiannually in arrears at a rate of 3.750% per annum on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture, dated September 17, 2019 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee.

The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $83.7 million after deducting the initial purchasers' discounts and the offering expenses payable by the Company. The Company used approximately $12.8 million of the net proceeds from the Notes to repay all outstanding indebtedness on its existing Credit Facility, and an additional $2.0 million to fully fund a cash collateralized letter of credit facility as required under the amendment to the Credit Agreement entered into in September 2019. The Company subsequently terminated the Credit Facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. on December 31, 2019. The Company expects to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes to fund its intended expansion efforts, including through acquisitions of complementary businesses or technologies or other strategic transactions, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Refer to Note 16, Convertible Notes and Credit Facility, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company's 2019 Form 10-K for further information on the Notes.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the conditions allowing holders of the Notes to convert have not been met. The Notes were therefore not convertible during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and the liability component was classified as long-term debt on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2020.

The following table summarizes the net carrying amount of the liability component of the Notes (in thousands):

Unamortized debt discount (37,854)   (40,902)  
Net carrying amount $ 48,396    $ 45,348   
Interest expense related to the Notes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, which is comprised of the amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs and the contractual coupon interest as follows (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2020, the remaining period over which the unamortized discount will be amortized is 74.5 months.

The estimated fair value of the Notes was $110.0 million and $116.0 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, determined through consideration of quoted market prices in less active markets. The fair value measurement is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, which is defined in ASC 820 as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable. Based on our closing stock price of $93.17 on June 30, 2020, the if-converted value exceeded the aggregate principal amount of the Notes by $6.5 million.


17. SEGMENT REPORTING
On April 1, 2020, Heska completed the acquisition of scil. Following this acquisition, we restructured our operating segments based on how the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) manages the business, allocates resources, makes operating decisions and evaluates operating performance. The CODM changed how he assesses performance and allocates resources based on geographic regions in order to better align with the global operations of the Company. Based on this change, the Company determined it has two reportable segments and revised prior comparative periods to conform to the current period segment presentation. The Company’s two segments are North America and International.
The North America segment is comprised of our operations in the United States, Canada and Mexico and the International segment is comprised geographies outside of North America, which are our operations primarily in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland. Certain expenses incurred at the Company’s headquarters located in the North America segment are allocated to each segment in a manner consistent with where the benefits from the expenses are derived. Sales and transfers between operating segments are accounted for at market-based transaction prices and are eliminated in consolidation. The Company's sales are determined by the country of origin where the sale occurred. For a description of Heska's previous operating segments, refer to Note 17 to the consolidated financial statements of Heska's 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our CODM continues to evaluate segment performance and allocate resources based on Revenue, Cost of Revenue, Gross Profit, Gross Margin and Operating Income. The CODM does not evaluate operating segments using asset information; however, we have included total asset information by segment below as there was a material change in total assets by segment as of June 30, 2020 due to the acquisition of scil.

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, and can generally be identified by our use of the words "scheduled," "anticipates," "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions. Such statements, which include statements concerning future revenue sources and concentration, international market expansion, gross profit margins, selling and marketing expenses, remaining minimum performance obligations, research and development expenses, general and administrative expenses, capital resources, financings or borrowings and additional losses, are subject to risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, those discussed under the caption "Risk Factors" contained in Part II, Item 1A, of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K 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. The forward-looking statements set forth in this Form 10-Q are as of the close of business on August 6, 2020 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 laboratory instruments and consumables, Point of Care digital imaging diagnostic 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.
Point of Care laboratory instruments and other sales include outright instrument sales, revenue recognized from sales-type lease treatment, and other revenue sources, such as charges for repairs. Revenue from Point of Care laboratory consumables 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. 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 supply 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 consumable.
-28-



Digital radiography is the largest product offering in Point of Care imaging, which also includes computed radiography and 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. 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.
Pharmaceuticals, Vaccines and Diagnostic ("PVD") revenue, includes single use diagnostic and other tests, pharmaceuticals and biologicals as well as research and development, licensing and royalty revenue. 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.
Other Vaccines and Pharmaceuticals ("OVP") revenue is generated in our USDA, FDA and DEA 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 of our U.S. inventory, excluding our imaging products, is now stored at this facility and related fulfillment logistics are managed there. Our OVP revenue includes vaccines and pharmaceuticals produced for third parties. OVP is isolated to the North America segment.
All of our 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. These products are sold directly to end users by us as well as through distribution relationships, such as the sale of kits to conduct blood testing to third-party veterinary diagnostic laboratories and sales to independent third-party distributors. Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented approximately 65.7% and 34.3%, respectively, of North America revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 66.2% and 33.8%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Revenue from direct sales and distribution relationships represented approximately 71.6% and 28.4%, respectively, of International revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 71.5% and 28.5%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Segment Change
During the second quarter of 2020, following the scil acquisition, the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) changed how he assesses performance and allocates resources based on geographic regions. As a result, the Company determined it has two operating and reportable segments: North America and International. North America consists of the United States, Canada and Mexico. International consists of geographies outside of North America, primarily our operations in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland. The Company's core strategic focus on point of care laboratory and imaging products are included in both segments. The North America segment also includes the contract manufacturing of vaccines and pharmaceutical products. The Company revised prior comparative periods to conform to the current period segment presentation. Refer to Note 17 - Segment Reporting for further information.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Current Economic Environment

During the quarter, we experienced modest impact on our business resulting from government restrictions on the movement of people, goods, and services in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, those we serve, veterinarians and herd animal health experts, are deemed essential services in areas of government mandated restrictions. To service them safely and efficiently, Heska teams quickly adjusted to a targeted,
-29-



remote workforce posture and put the care and health of people and our brand first. Heska has not laid off or furloughed employees but did introduce limited salary reductions in Europe. Because of social distancing measures, on-site installations of POC Lab and Imaging equipment will experience intermittent delays. While not significant to the overall results of the first half of the year, on-site installations of equipment have been impacted since March. We anticipate the impact to on-site installations and capital equipment expenditures to continue for at least the remainder of 2020.
 
Our financial position remains strong. On April 1, 2020, we closed our acquisition of scil; the transaction was fully financed by a preferred stock offering. We have sufficient liquidity to sustain our operations and do not anticipate a need to access additional capital outside of the various programs available to our overseas subsidiaries.
 
While we have experienced some intermittent delays in receiving supply, our supply chain has not been significantly impacted and we do not expect that to materially change over the remaining months of 2020. Our major research and development projects are continuing to progress substantially as planned but we have experienced sporadic delays in receiving validation samples and device components as well as inefficiencies in remote collaboration and field-testing. We anticipate these delays to result in total slippage of 90 to 120 days in our new products’ commercial roll-out schedules, consistent with our disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the period ending March 31, 2020.
 
We do not know how long COVID-19 related challenges will continue. The ultimate impact on our business will depend on many factors substantially beyond our control and difficult to predict. In the near-term and with asynchronous variation across geographies, we anticipate veterinary hospitals will temporarily: (1) realize lower average diagnostics use as a result of deferred and elective patient visits, and (2) delay capital equipment investments as a result of heightened conservatism and the effects of social distancing on in-clinic demonstrations and installations. Despite these headwinds, we believe we are well positioned because: (1) our customers and products are essential, (2) our main Point of Care laboratory business continues to show healthy consumables use and margin, (3) our subscriptions model metrics continue to show solid performance, (4) our vaccines and pharmaceuticals business continues to perform with minimal disruption, (5) our balance sheet is strong, and (6) our employees, logistics, supply chain, and operations continue to operate well in the current environment and they are fully prepared for both a phased return and an instant return to full capacity.
Results of Operations
Our analysis presented below is organized to provide the information we believe will facilitate an understanding of our historical performance and relevant trends going forward.

(1) See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share to diluted (loss) earnings per share attributable to Heska Corporation on the closest comparable GAAP measures, for each of the periods presented.
(2) Shares used in the diluted per share calculation for non-GAAP net income per diluted share are (in thousands): 9,269 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 7,951 for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 8,165 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to 7,956 for the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Revenue
Total revenue increased 62.4% to $45.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $28.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. Total revenue increased 32.4% to $76.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $57.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The significant increases in revenue are driven by the acquisitions of CVM Diagnostico Veternario S.L. and CVM Ecografia S.L. ("CVM", collectively) and scil, which represented $18.2 million of revenue in the second quarter that was not included in the prior period.
-31-



Gross Profit
Gross profit increased 43.9% to $17.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $12.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Gross margin decreased to 39.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 44.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Gross profit increased 25.5% to $31.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $25.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Gross margin decreased to 41.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 43.3% in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in gross profit for both periods was due to recent acquisitions. The decrease in gross margin percentage for both periods was due to lower margin in our newly acquired businesses as well as unfavorable product mix in our legacy business.
Operating Expenses
Selling and marketing expenses increased 42.7% to $9.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $6.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Selling and marketing expenses increased 23.4% to 17.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $13.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increases in both periods are a direct result of international expansion related to recent acquisitions and are in line with management expectations.
Research and development expenses decreased 24.3% to $1.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $2.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease is related to timing of spending on product development for urine and fecal diagnostic analyzer and enhanced immunodiagnostic offerings in the current quarter. Research and development expenses increased 6.1% to $3.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $3.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is related to the product development projects mentioned above. As we invest in future growth of the Company, the increased research and development expense is consistent with the spending initiatives of management and is expected to continue through 2020.
General and administrative expenses increased 174.4% to $11.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $4.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. General and administrative expenses increased 137.8% to 19.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $8.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in both periods is driven by one-time costs related to the acquisition of scil, which were $2.7 million for the second quarter and $6.6 million for the year to date period. In addition, we had increased stock-based compensation expenses in the current quarter and additional expenses related to the impact of international acquisitions compared to the prior year.
Interest and Other Expense (Income), net
Interest and other expense (income), net, was $2.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $21 thousand in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Interest and other expense (income), net, was $4.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $5 thousand in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase in interest and other expense was primarily driven by interest expense as a result of the Notes.
-32-



Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, we had a total income tax benefit of $0.2 million, including $0.2 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $31 thousand current income tax expense. In the three months ended June 30, 2019, we had a total income tax benefit of $0.4 million, including $0.5 million of domestic deferred income tax benefit and $28 thousand of current income tax expense. The increase in tax benefits is due to the higher financial loss. The Company recognized $0.2 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $0.3 million recognized in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The Company recognized $0.5 million in excess tax benefits related to employee share-based compensation in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $1.4 million recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Net (Loss) Income Attributable to Heska Corporation
Net loss attributable to Heska was $6.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net loss attributable to Heska of $0.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Net loss attributable to Heska was $11.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net income attributable to Heska of $0.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The difference between this line item and "Net income after equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates" is the net income or loss attributable to our minority interest in our French subsidiary, which we purchased in February 2019. Net income is lower in both comparative periods due to increases in operating expenses as discussed above, as well as interest and amortization charges relating to the Notes.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA in the three months ended June 30, 2020 was $4.1 million (9.1% adjusted EBITDA margin), compared to $1.8 million (6.4% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.1 million (6.6% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $4.0 million (7.0% adjusted EBITDA margin) in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is driven by increased revenue and gross profit as discussed above. The increases in operating expenses are excluded from adjusted EBITDA. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to net income, the closest comparable GAAP measure, for each of the periods presented.
Earnings Per Share
Loss per share attributable to Heska was $0.72 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to loss of $0.03 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2019. In the six months ended June 30, 2020 we had a loss of $1.43 per diluted share compared to income of $0.07 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in both periods is primarily due to increases in operating expenses as discussed above, as well as interest and amortization charges relating to the Notes.
Non-GAAP Earnings Per Share
Non-GAAP EPS was income of $0.00 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to income of $0.10 per diluted share in the three months ended June 30, 2019. In the six months ended June 30, 2020 non-GAAP EPS was income of $0.03 per diluted share compared to income of $0.21 per diluted share in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decline in both periods is primarily due to cash interest related to the Notes. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for a reconciliation of Non-GAAP EPS to net (loss) income attributable to Heska per diluted share, the closest comparable U.S. GAAP measure, in each of the periods presented.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to financial measures presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”), we also present Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA margin, and Non-GAAP net income (loss) per diluted share, which are non-GAAP measures.
These measures should be viewed as a supplement to, not substitute for, our results of operations presented under U.S. GAAP. The non-GAAP financial measures presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies because they may not calculate their measures in the same manner. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin as a key profitability measure. This is a non-GAAP measure that represents EBITDA before certain items that are considered to hinder comparison of the performance of our businesses on a period-over-period basis or with other businesses.
The following tables reconcile our most directly comparable as-reported financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to our adjusted non-GAAP financial measures (in thousands, except percentages and per share amounts):

Analysis by Segment
The North America segment includes sales and costs from the United States, Canada and Mexico. The International segment includes sales and costs from Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Spain and Switzerland.
The North America segment represented approximately 63.4% and 74.2% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, and the International segment represented approximately 36.6% and 25.8% of our revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively.
The following sections and tables set forth, for the periods indicated, certain data derived from our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (in thousands).

North America Operating Margin (10.6) % (1.0) % (12.6) % (0.3) %
North America segment revenue increased 9.8% to $29.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019. The $2.6 million increase was driven by a $2.2 million increase in PVD related to the contract manufactured heartworm preventive, Tri-Heart®, which had reduced channel demand in 2019, and a 2.7% increase in POC Lab Consumables. North America segment revenue increased 3.2% to $56.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to $54.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The $1.7 million increase was driven by a $4.1 million in Tri-Heart sales and 6.8% increase in POC Lab Consumables. These increases were partially offset by a 17.3% decrease in OVP related to reduced customer requirements during the period, a 17.2% decrease in from Point of Care Imaging, and a 14.7% decrease in capital lease placements and outright sales of Point of Care Lab Instruments, which were largely expected as a result of the government restrictions in place relating to COVID-19.

Gross profit for the North America segment was $12.8 million compared to $12.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross profit was $25.3 million compared to $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in gross profit for both periods is primarily driven by increased revenue in the current year periods, specifically related to PVD and POC Lab Consumables. Gross margin was 44.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 45.3% in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The decline is driven by product mix. Gross margin was 44.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to 44.2% in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase is due to increased revenue and margins for Tri-Heart and OVP, which had reduced production in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
North America operating loss increased $2.8 million and $7.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year periods. The increase is driven by one-time transaction related costs for the acquisition of scil and increased stock-based compensation expenses in the current year periods.

International segment revenue was $16.7 million compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. International revenue was $19.7 million compared to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The increase in both periods is due to the acquisitions of CVM and scil, which contributed approximately $18.2 million of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and $19.6 million of revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2020, that were not included in the comparable periods.

Gross profit for the International segment was $5.1 million compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross profit was $6.1 million compared to $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Gross margin for the International segment was 30.5% and 30.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, compared to 26.4% and 25.3% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. The increase in gross profit and gross margin percent for both periods is primarily driven by increased revenue from acquisitions.
International operating loss increased $1.1 million and $1.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the prior year periods. The increase is driven by one-time transaction related costs in the current year periods; partially offset by increased International revenue and gross profit discussed above.


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 access other forms of capital as well as 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, including but not limited to effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our primary source of liquidity is our available cash of $79.2 million, which includes net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes. Additionally, we financed the acquisition of scil through a private placement of convertible preferred equity for which we raised $122 million, while we transferred approximately $111 million in purchase price, netting a remaining $11 million of liquidity. Refer to Note 12. Capital Stock.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had net loss attributable to Heska Corporation of $6.4 million and net cash used by operations of $13.1 million. At June 30, 2020, we had $79.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and $125.5 million of working capital.
A summary of our cash from operating, investing and financing activities is as follows (in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $13.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease in cash from operating activities of approximately $7.7 million. The decrease in cash from operating activities is primarily due to the $12.4 million decrease in net income after equity in losses of unconsolidated affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2019. In addition to the decrease in net income, we had a decrease of $0.5 million in cash from operating assets and liabilities driven by the timing of collections and payments in the ordinary course of business. These decreases are
-38-



partially offset by non-cash transactions impacting cash used by operating activities, including a $3.0 million increase related to amortization of the debt discount, a $2.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization driven by the acquisition of scil, and a $0.4 million increase in stock-based compensation expense.
Net cash used in investing activities was $119.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash used in investing activities of $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $118.7 million. The increase in cash used for investing activities was driven by $105.2 million investment for the scil acquisition, net of cash acquired, and a $14.4 million payment of consideration for the December 2019 acquisition of CVM.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $123.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to net cash provided financing activities of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, an increase of approximately $119.8 million. The change was driven primarily by a $122.0 million increase in proceeds from preferred stock, primarily used for financing the acquisition of scil.
We believe that our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances, as well as the cash flows generated by our operations, will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures, including selling and marketing team expansion and product development initiatives, for at least the next 12 months. Our belief may prove to be incorrect, however, and we could utilize our available financial resources sooner than we currently expect. For example, we actively seek opportunities that are consistent with our strategic direction, which may require additional capital. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of available funds will depend on many factors, including those set forth in Part II, Item 1A, "Risk Factors", of this Form 10-Q and in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. We may be required to seek additional equity or debt financing in order to meet these future capital requirements, even in the absence of any acquisitions. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we may not be able to raise it on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, results of operations and financial condition would be adversely affected.
Effect of currency translation on cash
Net effect of foreign currency translations on cash was a $189 thousand positive impact for the six months ended June 30, 2020, compared to a $5 thousand positive impact for the six months ended June 30, 2019, a decrease of $184 thousand. These effects are related to changes in exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and the Swiss Franc, Euro, Australian Dollar, Canadian Dollar, and Malaysian Ringgit which are the functional currencies of our subsidiaries.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements or variable interest entities.
Purchase Obligations
Purchase obligations represent contractual agreements to purchase goods or services that are legally binding; 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, 2020, the Company had purchase obligations for inventory of $25.5 million.

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-15(e) 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 as of the end of such period 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
We evaluated our internal controls over financial reporting that have occurred since the last fiscal year in relation to recurring performance, realigned business segments, and changes to the control environment due to COVID-19. Based on the assessment, we determined that there has not been a change in our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting for fiscal year 2020.

-40-



of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as described below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors described in our Annual Report.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on consumer demand, our global supply chain and our financial and operational results.
With the recent acquisition of scil, our worldwide operations make us vulnerable to risks from a global public health crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which is adversely impacting consumer demand, our global supply chain, and financial and operational results. We expect further adverse impact to our financial results as the pandemic spreads through domestic and foreign markets and if local governmental authorities institute or extend “shelter at home” protective measures. While the pace and ability of governmental authorities to contain the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, we expect this global public health crisis to have an adverse impact on our financial results, including revenues, earnings and cash flows through at least the remainder of 2020; specifically as a result of:
Temporary closure or reduced hours of veterinary clinics where we sell our products and services, resulting in decreased visits and testing;
Reduction in consumer discretionary spending on their pets’ health and wellbeing;
Potential supply chain disruption caused by additional customs restrictions of cross border trade, and other factors related to COVID-19 pandemic;
Governmental orders that create an array of restrictions on our customers, our employees and the pets they serve to limit the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic;
Lower productivity due to reduced travel, work from home policies or shelter in place orders; and
Overall slowdown in foreign and domestic economies resulting in stagnating wage growth, reduced discretionary spending and temporary or permanent staffing layoffs.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented strict work from home policies for all employees with the ability to work remotely at all of our locations. At our Des Moines, Iowa manufacturing facility, production schedules remain on track for order fulfillment but we have instituted staggered start times, designated building entry/exit protocols and closed common areas to maximize “social distancing” guidelines. Companywide, we enacted travel restrictions that have begun to disrupt the standard operation of our business. The restricted travel policies for our sales force has adversely affected our customers' ability or willingness to purchase our products and services, delayed customer capital spending and reduced our ability to provide on-site customer service.
While we are unable to predict the duration of the financial and operational impact due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect it to adversely affect our business through at least the remainder of 2020. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risk factors described in the Risk Factors disclosed in Part I, Item 1A, "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
The following table sets forth information about our purchases of our outstanding Public Common Stock during the quarter ended June 30, 2020:

 (1) Shares of Public Common Stock we purchased between April 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020 were solely for the cancellation of shares of stock withheld for related tax obligations
On March 30, 2020, the Company completed a private placement offering in which the Company issued and sold an aggregate of 122,000 shares of its Series X Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Preferred Stock"). The shares of Preferred Stock issued and sold were priced at $1,000 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $122.0 million, less issuance costs of $0.2 million. The Preferred Stock offering was made in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506 of Regulation D as promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act, as a transaction not involving a public offering. 

On April 14, 2020, the Company gave notice of its exercise of its right to convert the 122,000 shares of Preferred Stock into 1,508,964 shares of Public Common Stock (the "Conversion Shares") and the conversion was effective on April 21, 2020. A registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-238005) registering the Conversion Shares for resale was filed by us with the SEC on May 5, 2020.

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 or required 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.
a. 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. Executive shall submit such requests within forty-five (45) days of incurring such expenses.

5. Employee Benefits.

a. During the Term of Agreement, Executive will be eligible to participate in the benefits offered to other executives of Heska, in accordance with benefit plans, policies, and arrangements that may exist from time to time.

6. Termination and Severance.

a. Termination without Cause or for Good Reason other than In Connection with a Change of Control. If, at any time, Executive’s employment is terminated by Heska without Cause (as defined below) or pursuant to Heska’s delivery of notice of non- renewal pursuant to Section 2(a) above, by Executive for Good Reason (as defined below), or due to Executive’s death or Disability (as defined below), and the termination is not In Connection with a Change of Control (as defined below), Executive will receive the following, subject to conditions and limitations set forth in Section 7:

i. A payment of an amount equal to six (6) months of Executive’s Base Salary, payable in accordance with Heska’s standard payroll practices over the shorter of the following periods (A) in equal installments over the period beginning on the date of such termination and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof, or (B) in equal installments on a monthly basis corresponding to the amount Executive would normally receive as salary each month if Executive were still employed with Heska, with a lump sum of any remaining balance of the amount specified above on March 15 of the year following the year of termination.

ii. Provided that, within thirty (30) days of termination date, Executive elects continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”), Heska shall pay the COBRA premium for coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under Heska’s Benefit Plans (as defined below) for six (6) months, or if earlier, until Executive becomes employed by another employer and eligible for coverage under such other employer’s welfare benefit plans (e.g., payments for medical COBRA premiums will cease when Executive becomes eligible for another employer’s medical plan.) For the balance of the period during which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents are


.3
entitled to coverage under COBRA, Executive shall be entitled to maintain coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents at Executive’s sole expense.
Executive shall notify Heska immediately upon Executive’s acceptance of employment with another employer.

b. Termination without Cause or for Good Reason In Connection with a Change of Control. If, at any time, Executive’s employment is terminated by Heska without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason or pursuant to Heska’s delivery of notice of non-renewal pursuant to Section 2(a) above, and the termination is In Connection with a Change of Control (as defined below), then, subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 7, Executive will receive:

i. A payment of an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Executive’s Base Salary, payable in equal installments in accordance with the standard payroll schedule over the shorter of the following periods (A) the period beginning on the date of such termination and ending on the one-year anniversary thereof, or (B) the period beginning on the date of such termination and ending on March 15 of the year following the year of termination.

ii. Provided that, within thirty (30) days of termination date, Executive elects continuation coverage under COBRA, Heska shall pay the COBRA premium for coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under Heska’s Benefit Plans (as defined below) for twelve (12) months, or if earlier, until Executive becomes employed by another employer and eligible for coverage under such other employer’s welfare benefit plans (e.g., payments for medical COBRA premiums will cease when Executive becomes eligible for another employer’s medical plan). For the balance of the period during which Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents are entitled to coverage under COBRA, Executive shall be entitled to maintain coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents at Executive’s sole expense. Executive shall notify Heska immediately upon Executive’s acceptance of employment with another employer.

c. Termination without Good Reason; Termination for Cause. If, at any time, Executive’s employment with Heska terminates voluntarily by Executive without Good Reason or is terminated for Cause by Heska, then (i) all further vesting of Executive’s outstanding equity awards will terminate immediately, (ii) all payments of compensation by Heska to Executive hereunder will terminate immediately (except as to amounts already earned), but Executive will be paid all expense reimbursements, and other benefits due to Executive through Executive’s termination date under any Company-provided or paid plans, policies, and arrangements, and (iii) Executive will not be entitled to any severance.



.3
d. Excise Tax. In the event that any benefits payable to Executive pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement (“Termination Benefits”) (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions, and (ii) but for this Section 6(d), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, or any comparable successor provisions (the “Excise Tax”), then Executive’s Termination Benefits hereunder shall be either (A) provided to Executive in full, or (B) provided to Executive as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to the Excise Tax, whichever of the foregoing amounts, when taking into account applicable federal, state, local, and foreign income and employment taxes, the Excise Tax, and any other applicable taxes, results in the receipt by Executive, on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under the Excise Tax. Unless Heska and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 6(d) shall be made in writing in good faith by Heska’s independent accountants. In the event of a reduction of benefits hereunder, Executive shall be given the choice of which benefits to reduce. 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 the applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of the Code and other applicable legal authority. Heska and Executive shall furnish to the accountants such information and documents as the accountants may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 6(d). Heska shall bear all costs the accountants may reasonably incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 6(d).

7. Conditions to Receipt of Severance; No Duty to Mitigate; Covenants.

a. Separation Agreement and Release of Claims. The receipt of any severance pursuant to Section 6 will be subject to Executive signing and not revoking a confidential separation agreement and release of claims in a form reasonably acceptable to Heska. Such agreement will provide (among other things) that Executive will not disparage Heska, its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, directors, executive officers, employees, agents, or representatives. No severance will be paid or provided until the confidential separation agreement and release agreement becomes effective. No severance will be paid or provided if the Executive’s confidential separation agreement and release agreement is not signed and irrevocable within forty-five (45) days after the Executive’s termination date. If Executive's date of termination and the last day of any applicable statutory revocation period could fall in two separate taxable years, regardless of when Executive actually executes and delivers the release, payments will not commence until the later taxable year.



.3
b. Non-Competition. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Sections 6(a) or 6(b), or a termination for Cause by Heska, Executive agrees not to engage in Competition (as defined below) for six (6) months following the termination date. The geographic scope of this Section 7(b) is the United States of America and Europe. If Executive engages in Competition within such period, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 6 will cease immediately.

c. Non-Solicitation. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment that would entitle Executive to the receipt of severance pursuant to Sections 6(a) or 6(b), or a termination for Cause by Heska, Executive agrees that, for twelve (12) months following the termination date, Executive, directly or indirectly, whether as employee, owner, sole proprietor, partner, director, member, consultant, agent, founder, co-venturer, or otherwise, (i) will not solicit, induce, or influence any person to modify his or her employment or consulting relationship with Heska (the “No-Inducement”), and (ii) not intentionally divert business away from Heska by soliciting business from any of Heska’s customers and users who would otherwise have placed the solicited order with Heska (the “No Solicit”). The geographic scope of this Section 7(c) is the United States of America and Europe. If Executive breaches the No-Inducement or No Solicit, all continuing payments and benefits to which Executive otherwise may be entitled pursuant to Section 6 will cease immediately.

d. Remedies. In the event of Executive’s breach of Sections 7(b) or 7(c), Heska shall have any and all remedies available to it in law or in equity, including without limitation the right to seek recovery of any amounts paid under Section 6 of this Agreement and injunctive relief, specific performance, or any other equitable relief to prevent a breach and to secure the enforcement of this Section. Injunctive relief may be granted immediately upon the commencement of any such action, and Heska need not post a bond to obtain temporary or permanent injunctive relief.

e. No Duty to Mitigate. Executive is under no duty or requirement to mitigate the amount of any payment contemplated by this Agreement, nor will any earnings that Executive may receive from any other source reduce any such payment.

8. Definitions.

a. Benefit Plans. For purposes of this Agreement, “Benefit Plans” means plans, policies, or arrangements that Heska sponsors (or participates in) and that immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment provide Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents with medical, dental, or vision benefits. Benefit Plans do not include any other type of benefit (including, but not limited to, financial counseling, disability, life insurance, or retirement benefits). A requirement that Heska provide Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents with coverage under the Benefit Plans will not be satisfied unless the coverage is no less favorable than


.3
that provided to Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents immediately prior to Executive’s termination of employment.

b. Cause. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean the occurrence of one or more of the following: (i) conviction of, or an entry of a plea of nolo contendere to, any crime (including one involving moral turpitude), whether a felony or misdemeanor, or any crime which reflects so negatively on Heska to be detrimental to Heska’s image or interests, or any act of fraud or dishonesty that has such negative reflection upon Heska; (ii) the repeated commitment of insubordination or refusal to comply with any reasonable request of Heska’s Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer, or Executive’s supervisor related to the scope or performance of Executive’s duties; (iii) possession of any illegal drug on Heska premises or being under the influence of illegal drugs or abusing prescription drugs or alcohol while on Heska business, attending Heska-sponsored functions, or on Heska premises; (iv) the gross misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of Executive’s responsibilities which, based upon good faith and reasonable factual investigation of the Board, demonstrates Executive’s unfitness to serve; (v) material breach of Executive’s obligations under this Agreement; or (vi) material breach of any fiduciary duty of Executive to Heska or its subsidiaries,; provided, however, that if any occurrence under subsections (ii), (iv), (v), and (vi) is reasonably capable of being cured, Heska will provide notice to Executive describing the nature of such event and Executive will thereafter have thirty (30) days to cure such event, and if such event is cured within that 30-day period, then grounds will no longer exist for terminating Executive’s employment for Cause; and provided, further, that such cure period will not apply to any subsequent occurrence of the same event.

c. Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, “Change of Control” means (i) a sale of all or substantially all of Heska’s assets, (ii) any merger, consolidation, or other business combination transaction of Heska with or into another corporation, entity, or person, other than a transaction in which the holders of at least a majority of the shares of voting capital stock of Heska outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continue to hold (either by such shares remaining outstanding or by their being converted into shares of voting capital stock of the surviving entity) a majority of the total voting power represented by the shares of voting capital stock of Heska (or the surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such transaction, (iii) the direct or indirect acquisition (including by way of a tender or exchange offer) by any person, or persons acting as a group, of beneficial ownership or a right to acquire beneficial ownership of shares representing a majority of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock of Heska, (iv) a contested election of Directors, as a result of which or in connection with which the persons who were Directors before such election or their nominees cease to constitute a majority of the Board, or (v) a dissolution or liquidation of Heska.

d. Competition. For purposes of this Agreement, Executive will be deemed to have engaged in “Competition” if Executive, without the written consent of the Board or


.3
an authorized officer of any successor company to Heska, directly or indirectly (1) provides services or assistance in any form to any individual, entity, or company providing veterinary products for the companion animal health industry or imaging products or services for the veterinary market (a “Restricted Company”), whether such services or assistance is provided as an employee, consultant, agent, corporate officer, director, or otherwise or (2) participates in the financing, operation, management, or control of, a Restricted Company. A Restricted Company includes, without limitation, Zoetis, Inc. Abaxis, Inc. (currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Zoetis, Inc.), IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Sound Technologies, Inc. (currently a unit of Mars, Incorporated), and Zoetis, Inc. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 8(d) or in Section 7(b) above shall prohibit Executive from being employed or engaged in a corporate function or senior management position (and holding commensurate equity interests) in a division of a Restricted Company, so long as such division is not in any way engaged in providing veterinary products for the companion animal health industry or imaging products or services for the veterinary market and Executive does not directly or indirectly provide services or assistance to any division that does provide veterinary products for the companion animal health industry or imaging products or services for the veterinary market.

e. Disability. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” shall mean 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 engage in any gainful activity, 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.

f. Good Reason.

i. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good Reason” means the occurrence of any of the following without Executive’s express written consent:

A. Executive’s officer level with Heska is, or Executive’s duties or responsibilities are, materially diminished relative to Executive’s officer level, duties, and responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such change;

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;


.3

C. a material change in the geographic location of Executive's principal place of employment such that the new location is greater than fifty (50) road miles each way from Executive's place of employment on the Effective Date;

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.

a. 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.

a. 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


.3
any contract, agreement, or understanding to which the Executive is party or any duty owed by the Executive to any other person.

11. Notices.

a. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications called for hereunder will be in writing and will be deemed given:
i. on the date of delivery if delivered personally,
ii. one (1) day after being delivered through a nationally recognized overnight courier service, or
iii. five (5) business days after the date of mailing if sent certified or registered mail.
iv. Notice to Heska shall be sent to its principal place of business with a copy provided by facsimile or electronic communication to the Chair of the Board of Directors, and notice to Executive will be delivered personally or sent to Executive’s last known address provided to Heska.

12. Successors and Assigns.

a. 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.

a. 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.


.3

a. 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.

a. 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.

a. 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.

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


.3
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 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.


.3

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.

a. 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.

a. 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.
