Colorado Spring Gazette: 'Tax on medical devices threatens profits, exec says'

Friday, April 27, 2012

A tax on medical devices approved in 2010 as part of federal health care reform legislation would wipe out all of the profits Colorado Springs-based Spectranetics Corp. expects to make this year when the tax takes effect next year, a top company executive said Friday.

The medical laser manufacturer expects to earn between $1.5 million and $3 million this year, which the company would have to pay out beginning Jan. 1 under the new 2.3 percent excise tax on all medical device sales as part of the landmark Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, said Guy Childs, chief financial officer of Spectranetics. If the tax were levied this year, the company would pay between $3.07 million and $3.14 million, based on its revenue estimate for this year of between $133.5 million and $136.5 million.

“We aren’t going to cut back on product development or clinical research, but as we think about investing in the future we will probably think twice and be able to do less of it,” Childs told about 120 business and civic leaders attending a panel discussion during a lunch hosted by the Colorado BioScience Association and the Greater Colorado Springs Chamber and EDC at the Cheyenne Mountain Resort. “This tax is another variable that detracts from our ability to invest in innovation because it comes right off the top line of our revenue. It impedes further investment and makes it more difficult.”

PICTURE PERFECT: Fashion photographer Rick Guidotti steps away from supermodel runways to focus on the beauty in being different

Friday, December 02, 2011

Aurora Sentinal Staff Writer Sara Castellanos featured CBSA Awards Dinner Keynote Speaker Rick Guidotti today. Quoting from the Sentinel website:

"...A collection of his photographs is being displayed at a gallery in the Santa Fe Arts District in Denver through Dec. 16, and he’ll be the keynote speaker at the Colorado BioScience Association Annual Awards Dinner in Denver on Dec. 8.

Guidotti co-founded Positive Exposure in 1997 with the aim of capturing the inherent beauty of people with physical afflictions like albinism, Down syndrome, Marfan syndrome, a connective tissue disorder, and Sturge-Weber syndrome, a disorder that results in port-wine stain birthmarks on the face.

'The idea is to walk away with a new understanding of beauty,' Guidotti said.

Several of Guidotti’s photographs adorn the walls of the VSA arts of Colorado/Access Gallery studio at 909 Santa Fe Drive in Denver.

The people depicted in the photographs hail from all over the globe, including Africa, New Zealand, Australia, Malaysia, Canada, New York and Washington DC..."
