CORGENIX MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

(a)                                 Company Overview

 

We were organized as a C corporation  in 1990, and our business includes research, development, manufacture, and marketing of in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) products (tested outside the human body) for use in disease detection and diagnosis.

 

Our revenues are generated from the following:

 

·                  Sales of Manufactured Products—We manufacture and sell over 50 diagnostic products on a worldwide basis to hospitals, clinical testing laboratories, universities, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and research institutions.

 

·                  In North America we sell our products directly through our own sales organization and through several small independent distributors.

 

·                  Outside of North America, we sell our products, excluding OEM products,through  the ELITech Group (“ELITech”) which now serves as our international master distributor, which in turn sells our products through its wholly owned subsidiaries in addition to numerous independent distributors.

 

·                  Sales of OEM Products—We private label some of our IVD products for other diagnostic companies which they then resell worldwide through their own distribution networks. Our most important OEM customers include Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Helena Laboratories and Diagnostic Grifols, S.A.

 

·                  Sales of OM Products—On a very limited basis, we purchase products from other healthcare manufacturers which we then resell. These products include other IVD products, instruments, instrument systems and various reagents and supplies, and are primarily used to support the sale of our own manufactured products.

 

·                  Contract Manufacturing Agreements—We contract manufacture products for certain other diagnostic and life science companies. Our most significant Contract Manufacturing customers are BG Medicine and DiaDexus.

 

·                  Contract R&D Agreements—We provide contract product development services to strategic partners and alliances. Our most significant Contract R &D customers include ELITech, Tulane University (“Tulane”) and the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”).

 

·                  Other Revenues—This segment includes shipping revenue and other miscellaneous product sales.

 

·                  Our three largest ongoing customers, collectively, accounted for 34.0% of our total revenues for the quarter.

 

Most of our products are used in clinical laboratories for the diagnosis and/or the monitoring of three important sectors of health care:

 

·                  The aspirin effect on platelets,

 

·                  Vascular disease (diseases associated with certain types of thrombosis or clot formation, for example antiphospholipid syndrome, deep vein thrombosis, stroke and coronary occlusion); and

 

·                  Liver diseases (fibrosis and cirrhosis).

 

We are actively developing new laboratory tests in these and other important diagnostic testing areas.

 

We develop and manufacture products in several commonly utilized testing formats:

 

·                  Microplate Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (“ELISA”)—This, our most commonly utilized format, is a clinical testing methodology commonly used worldwide. It is a format which must be run in laboratory conditions by trained technicians, and utilizes standard microplate reading instruments. Testing is performed on a standard 96-well plastic microplate and provides quantitative results.

·                  Lateral Flow Immunoassay (“LFI”)—This is a rapid testing format which utilizes small strip configuration. Patient samples are applied to the end of a strip and allowed to migrate along the strip with a positive or negative indicator. Results are typically obtained in a matter of minutes and can be performed in all settings including field testing.

 

7



Table of Contents

 

·                  Immunoturbidimetry (“IT”)—IT products are configured similar to ELISA Microplate products except that instead of coating microwell plates, this technology coats microbeads or microparticles. The assay configuration is more “automatable” than microplates, and are designed to be run on clinical chemistry analyzers in clinical testing laboratories by trained personnel. We use the IT format as part of our development and manufacturing agreements with ELITech.

 

Since 1990, our sales representatives and distribution partners have sold over 88 million tests worldwide under the REAADS and Corgenix labels, as well as OEM products. An integral part of our strategy is to work with corporate partners to develop market opportunities and access important resources including expanding our Contract Manufacturing and Contract R&D programs. We believe that our relationships with current and potential partners will enable us to enhance our menu of diagnostic products and accelerate our ability to penetrate the worldwide markets for new products.

 

We currently use both the REAADS and Corgenix trademarks and trade names in the sale of the products which we manufacture. These products constitute the majority of our product sales.

 

(b)                                 Basis of Presentation

 

Financial Statement Preparation

 

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Corgenix according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information and, therefore, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been omitted. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented, reflect all adjustments, which are normal and recurring, necessary to fairly state the financial position, results of operations and cash flows. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on September 30, 2013.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosures 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.

 

2.                                      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 to the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013. There have been no significant changes to these policies and no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three months or nine months ended March 31, 2014 that are of significance or potential significance to the Company.

 

3.                                      INVENTORIES

 

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process, finished goods and laboratory instruments and parts held for sale, and are recorded at the lower of average cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. If necessary, a provision is recorded to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable value. No such provision was recorded as of March 31, 2014 or June 30, 2013. Components of inventories as of March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2013 are as follows:

4.                                      EARNINGS PER SHARE

 

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the applicable period, increased for potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of stock options and their equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the diluted earnings per share denominator includes the net of new shares potentially created by unexercised in-the-money warrants and options. This method assumes that the proceeds that we receive from an in-the-money option exercise would be used to repurchase common shares in the market.

All options and warrants were considered in the calculation of weighted average common shares and dilutive potential common shares above.  In performing these calculations, options and warrants totaling 480,000 and 11,265,000 were excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares and dilutive potential shares above, for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively, as the effect of including them would be anti-dilutive. For the same reason, options and warrants totaling 11,210,000 and 11,295,000 were excluded from the calculation of weighted average common shares and dilutive potential shares for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

 

5.                             FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

 

The fair value of our financial instruments reflect the amounts that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 3—unobservable inputs.

 

The Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based upon other observable inputs. The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets that were measured on a recurring basis:

6.                                      STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

(a)                                 Common Stock

 

On September 16, 2011, Wescor invested an additional $500,000 pursuant to the Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement between the two companies and was issued 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee formed by the two companies and established under the Joint Product Development Agreement determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

 

On July 28, 2011, we entered into a First Amended Joint Product Development Agreement (the “2011 Development Agreement”) with ELITech and Wescor. Each party is responsible for its own costs, expenses and liabilities incurred under the Agreement. However, ELITech and Wescor will be responsible for expenses related to the development of new Corgenix Assays and systems. Pursuant to this agreement, each month we will notify Wescor of the amount of their stock purchase commitment, which is equal to sixty-six and 7/10 percent (66.7%) of the amount of each monthly R & D invoice at a per share price of $0.15. Wescor must purchase such shares within thirty (30) days of each notification. For the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, we generated $154,273 and $101,405, respectively in R & D revenue from Wescor, and issued 363,792 and 368,815 shares, respectively under this arrangement. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, we generated $361,421 and $457,165, respectively in R & D revenue from Wescor, and issued 1,187,140 and 2,403,527 shares, respectively under this arrangement. Also, pursuant to the 2011 Development Agreement, as of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 there was $128,868 and $77,348, respectively, in accounts receivable for ELITech/Wescor-funded research and development and $85,955 and $51,591 due from Wescor with respect to stock purchase commitments owing from Wescor for 573,036 and 343,941 shares, respectively, to be issued subsequent to March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, respectively. The $85,955 and $51,591 stock purchase commitments were not recorded as of March 31, 2014 or March 31, 2013.

 

As a result of ELITech’s earlier investment and these transactions, ELITech, including warrants issued to them, beneficially owned 45.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares as of March 31, 2014, and, thus is considered a related party.

 

(b)                                 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Effective January 1, 1999, the Company first adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) to provide eligible employees an opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock through payroll deductions, up to 10% of eligible compensation. Each quarter, participant account balances are used to purchase shares of stock at the lesser of 85% of the fair value of shares on the first business day (grant date) and last business day (exercise date) of each quarter. No right to purchase shares shall be granted if, immediately after the grant, the employee would own stock aggregating 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock. The ESPP, and all future amended & restated versions, are intended to qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,as amended. A total of 500,000 common shares were registered with the SEC for purchase under the ESPP.

 

On April 26, 2008, the stockholders approved the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan the “ Second ESPP”). A total of 600,000 common shares were registered with the SEC for purchase under the Second ESPP.

 

On January 17, 2012, the stockholders voted to approve the Third Amended & Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Third ESPP”), effective January 1, 2012. A total of 500,000 common shares were registered for purchase with the SEC under the Third ESPP.

Table of Contents

 

On December 17, 2013, the stockholders approved the Fourth Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan        (the “Fourth ESPP”). A total of 500,000 common shares were registered for purchase with the SEC under the Fourth ESPP.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, shares issued under the Third and Fourth ESPPs amounted to 1,185 and 35,086, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, shares issued under the Third and Fourth ESPPs amounted to 22,248 and 222,447, respectively.

 

(c)                                  Incentive Stock Option Plan

 

Stock Options as of March 31, 2014

 

Our 2007 and 2011 Incentive Compensation Plans (the “Plans”) provide for two separate components. The Stock Option Grant Program, administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) appointed by our Board of Directors, provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase common stock to employees, directors or other independent advisors designated by the Committee. The Restricted Stock Program administered by the Committee, provides for the issuance of Restricted Stock Awards to employees, directors or other independent advisors designated by the Committee. The following table summarizes stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2014, and changes during the nine months then ended:

The aggregate intrinsic value as of March 31, 2014 measures the difference between the market price as of March 31, 2014 ($0.31) and the exercise price of the respective options. Options for 120,000 shares were exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2014. No options were exercised for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. In exchange for the options exercised for the current nine month period, cash in the amount of $11,180 was received by the Company. We did not realize any tax deductions related to the exercise of stock options during the period.

 

As of March 31, 2014, the estimated unrecognized compensation cost of unvested stock options amounted to $157,110, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 56 months.

 

The weighted average per share fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ending March 31, 2014 was $0.21. The weighted average per share fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ending March 31, 2013 was $0.12. The fair value was estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

(d)                                Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On February 3, 2009, as part of a debt restructuring agreement, the Company issued 36,680 shares of its Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”) to Truk Opportunity Fund, LLC, a Delaware company and Truk International Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands company (collectively, “Truk”). The shares had a liquidation preference of $9,170, which would have been convertible into 146,720 shares of its common stock at the rate of $0.25 per share.

 

11



Table of Contents

 

The liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock was deemed to be a redemption feature of said stock. Accordingly, over the three year period, the amount of the convertible preferred stock as shown on the Balance Sheet was accreted, such that, at the end of the three year period, the amount equaled the amount of common stock capable of being converted by the convertible preferred stock. This accretion of the convertible preferred stock has been reflected on the Statement of Operations, as accreted dividends.

 

According to the Company’s Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights & Limitations, Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, the Company did not automatically redeem Truk’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock as required. According to the terms of the preferred shares, automatic redemption was originally to occur on February 3, 2012, at the Conversion Value per share, which at the time was $0.25 multiplied by 36,680 issued and outstanding shares for total cash redemption of $9,170. On September 20, 2013, the Company redeemed Truk’s convertible shares together with interest of $746, for a total payment to Truk amounting to $9,916.

 

7.                                      REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

 

Under the LSQ Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated July 14, 2011 between the Company and LSQ (the “LSQ Agreement”), LSQ, the lender provided a line of credit (“Line”) to the Company under which LSQ agreed to make loans to the Company in the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $1,500,000.  The proceeds of the loans under the Line were used to repay certain loans and other amounts payable by the Company.  The LSQ Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 20, 2011, and the description of material terms of the LSQ Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to that exhibit. Interest accrues on the average outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Line at a rate equal to 0.043% per day (15.7% APR). Loans under the Line were permitted to be repaid and such repaid amounts re-borrowed until the maturity date.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the LSQ Agreement, we granted to LSQ a security interest in all of our personal property to secure the repayment of the loans under the Line and all other of our obligations to LSQ, whether under the LSQ Agreement or otherwise. For the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, LSQ funded a total of $37,827 and $2,075,605, respectively, under the Line. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, LSQ funded a total of $3,081,535 and $5,826,529 respectively, under the Line. As of March 31, 2014 we did not owe anything to LSQ under the Line. As of June 30, 2013, $227,011 was owed to us by LSQ under the Line. Fees paid to LSQ for interest and other services for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 totaled $140 and $605, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, they were $832 and $1,529, respectively. On August 28, 2013, the Company provided written notice to LSQ that the Company desired to terminate the LSQ Agreement. The LSQ Agreement required 60 days notice by the Company to LSQ to terminate, and thus the termination was effective October 27, 2013. All ancillary agreements and documents entered into in connection with the LSQ Agreement terminated in connection with the termination of the LSQ Agreement.

 

On August 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) effective August 15, 2013 between the Company and Bank of the West (the “Bank”). This Loan Agreement replaced the LSQ Agreement noted above.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Bank is providing a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) to the Company not to exceed $1,500,000.  Interest accrues at a variable one month LIBOR (currently 0.18%) plus 4.00% per annum.  Interest payments are due monthly.

 

Unless terminated by the Company or accelerated by the Bank in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Revolver will terminate and all loans there under must be repaid on November 5, 2014.

 

The Loan Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default typical in financings of this type, including, for example, limitations on assuming additional debt, making investments, or the sale of Company assets or other changes in the ownership of the Company.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company granted to the Bank a security interest in all of the Company’s assets to secure the repayment of the loans under the Revolver and to secure all other obligations of the Company to the Bank.

 

The Company will use any money it receives under the Loan Agreement for general short term working capital purposes.

 

The Revolver was activated on October 30, 2013. During the current quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014, the Company did not request any funding from the Bank under the Revolver. Consequently, there were no fees paid to the Bank for interest or other services for the same periods. The Loan Agreement and the accompanying Promissory Note  were filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to the current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 4, 2013, and the description of material terms of such documents herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to such Exhibits.

8.                                      RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

The ELITech Group, a French diagnostic company, via its wholly owned subsidiaries, ELITech-UK (our master international distributor) and Wescor (located in Logan, Utah) (the “ELITech Group”) combined, are considered to be a related party, beneficially owning 45.7% of the Company’s outstanding shares, and, as of March 31, 2014, was the Company’s largest customer.  For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, we generated $154,273 and $101,405, respectively, in R & D revenue from Wescor. In addition, the Company’s international product sales to ELITech-UK for the three month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 amounted to $209,153 and $251,559, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, we generated $361,421 and $457,165, respectively, in R & D revenue from Wescor. In addition, the Company’s international product sales to ELITech-UK for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 amounted to $575,985 and $926,816, respectively. In total, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 the ELITech Group (ELITech-UK and Wescor) represented approximately 14.8% and 14.1%, respectively, of total revenues. As of March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, the amounts due us from the ELITech Group amounted to $288,790 and $280,823, respectively, which represented approximately 19.6% and 19.2%, respectively, of total trade accounts receivable.

 

Item 2.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere herein and in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

 

(a)                                 Forward-Looking Statements

 

This 10-Q includes statements that are not purely historical and are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.  All statements other than historical fact contained in this 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements regarding future capital guidance, acquisition strategies, strategic partnership expectations, technological developments,  the availability of necessary components, research and development programs and distribution plans, are forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements included in this 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements.  Although we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct or that we will take any actions that may presently be planned.

 

We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. There can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. There can be no assurance that, in the future, we will sustain revenue growth, current revenue levels, or achieve or maintain profitability. Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as the result of several factors, including: (i) whether and when new products are successfully developed and introduced, (ii) market acceptance of current or new products, (iii) seasonal customer demand, (iv) whether and when we receive research and development payments from strategic partners, (v) changes in reimbursement policies for the products that we sell, (vi) competitive pressures on average selling prices for the products that we sell, and (vii) changes in the mix of products that we sell. For more discussion about each risk factor , see Part 1, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

 

(b)                                 General

 

Since our inception, we have been primarily involved in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing/distribution of diagnostic tests for sale to clinical laboratories. We currently market over 50 products covering aspirin effect on platelets,  vascular diseases, infectious diseases and liver disease. Our products are sold in the United States, and other North American countries through our marketing and sales organization that includes direct sales representatives, contract sales representatives, internationally through our Master Distributor (ELITech), and to several significant OEM partners.

 

We manufacture products for inventory based upon expected sales demand, shipping products to customers, usually within 24 hours of receipt of orders if in stock.  Accordingly, we do not operate with a significant customer order backlog.

 

Except for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1997, 2009, and 2011, we have experienced revenue growth since our inception, primarily from sales of products and contract revenues from strategic partners. Contract revenues consist of service fees from manufacturing and research and development agreements with strategic partners.

Table of Contents

 

Other than our instrument related sales, we generate an insignificant amount of sales of third-party OM licensed products.

 

In March 2014, we announced that we are exploring strategic alternatives, including possible joint ventures, strategic partnerships or alliances, a sale of the Company, or other possible transactions.

 

(c)                                  Results of Operations

 

Three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to three months ended March 31, 2013

 

Total revenues. Total revenues for the current quarter decreased $44,970 or 1.8% versus the prior year. This increase was primarily due to a 10.8% decrease in our international sales and a 14.6% decrease in our domestic Hyaluronic Acid sales. The following two tables provide the reader with further insight as to the changes in the various components of our total revenues for the comparable quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013.

Cost of revenues.  Total cost of revenues, as a percentage of total revenues, increased to 54.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 versus 53.0% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The primary reason for the increase for the quarter was due to the increased contribution of R & D and Grant revenue in the current quarter versus the same quarter in the prior year. These revenues generate a considerably reduced gross margin than do our product sales. Conversely, the cost of goods sold for our product sales as a percentage of product sales decreased to 47.8% versus 50.5% in the same quarter in the prior year. This reduction in the cost of goods sold for our core products, was primarily attributable to the continuing effort to better manage the Company’s raw materials purchasing practices in addition to the continuing benefits being derived from the increased automation of the Company’s manufacturing processes.

Selling and marketing expenses.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, selling and marketing expenses increased $15,292, or 3.8%, to $414,549 from $399,257 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The $15,292 increase resulted primarily from increases of $46,120 in outside services expense and $39,372 in trade show and travel and entertainment-related expenses, partially offset by a net decrease of $70,200 in other selling and marketing expenses.

 

Research and development expenses. Gross research and development expenses, prior to the reclassification of a portion of said expenses to cost of revenues, increased $106,562, or 31.9%, to $439,814 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, from $333,352 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The $106,562 increase resulted primarily from increases of $135,318 in laboratory supplies expense, partially offset by a net decrease of $28,756 in other research and development expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses increased $76,686, or 14.4%, to $610,289 from $533,603 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The increase was primarily a result of increases of $17,569 in labor and board of director-related expenses, $23,230 in travel-related expenses, and a net increase of $35,887 in other general and administrative expenses.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense increased slightly to $5,520 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, versus $5,047 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

Total revenues. The following two tables provide the reader with further insight as to the changes in the various components of our total revenues for the comparable nine month periods ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013. Total revenues for the current nine month period increased $244,931 or 3.1% versus the prior year. The increase was primarily due to a 59.6% increase in domestic Aspirin Works sales, a 6.3% increase in contract manufacturing revenue, and a 27.2% increase in R & D contract revenue.

Cost of revenuesCost of revenues.  Total cost of revenues, as a percentage of total revenues, decreased to 53.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 versus 55.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The primary reasons for the decrease  were the reduction in the cost of goods sold for our core products, as a percentage of product sales, which improved to 50.2% versus 53.5% in the previous year, attributable to the continuing effort to better manage the Company’s raw materials purchasing practices in addition to the continuing benefits being derived from the increased automation of the Company’s manufacturing processes.

Selling and marketing expenses.  For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, selling and marketing expenses increased $52,131 or 4.1% to $1,327,867 from $1,275,736 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The $52,131 increase resulted primarily from increases of $115,365 in outside services, $30,474 in trade show and travel-related expenses, and $24,743 in advertising expenses, partially offset by a net decrease of $118,451 in other selling and marketing expenses, most notably being labor-related expenses.

 

Research and development Expenses. Gross research and development expenses, prior to the reclassification of a portion of said expenses to cost of sales, increased $114,900, or 11.5%, to $1,110,906 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, from $996,006 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The $114,900 increase resulted primarily from increases of $156,387 in laboratory supplies, partially offset by a net decrease of $41,487 in other research and development expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses increased $268,129, or 18.6%, to $1,709,746 from $1,441,617 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The $268,129 increase  resulted primarily from increases of $154,119 in labor and board of directors-related expenses, $45,091, in outside services, $20,081 in Medical Excise Tax expense, and a net increase of $48,838 in other general and administrative expenses.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $5,265, or 31.1%, to $11,676 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, from $16,941 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The substantial decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the considerably lower borrowings for the current period.

 

(d)                                 ADJUSTED EBITDA

 

Our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and non cash expense associated with stock-based compensation (“Adjusted EBITDA”) increased $14,821, or 9.0%, to $180,471 for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 compared with $165,650 for the corresponding three month period in fiscal 2013. For the nine month period ended March 31, 2014, adjusted EBITDA increased $18,212, or  2.9% to $652,602 compared with $634,390 for the corresponding nine month period in fiscal 2013. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure of performance or liquidity, we believe that it may be useful to an investor in evaluating our ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital guidance. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) can be made by adding depreciation and amortization expense, corporate stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income tax expense to net income (loss) as in the following table:

(e)                                  Financing Agreements

 

Under the LSQ Revolving Credit and Security Agreement dated July 14, 2011 between the Company and LSQ (the “LSQ Agreement”), LSQ, the lender provided a line of credit (“Line”) to the Company under which LSQ agreed to make loans to the Company in the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $1,500,000.  The proceeds of the loans under the line of credit were used to repay certain loans and other amounts payable by the Company.  The LSQ Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 20, 2011, and the description of material terms of the LSQ Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to that exhibit. Interest accrues on the average outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Line at a rate equal to 0.043% per day (15.7% APR). Loans under the Line were permitted to be repaid and such repaid amounts re-borrowed until the maturity date.  In addition, pursuant to the terms of the LSQ Agreement, we granted to LSQ a security interest in all of our personal property to secure the repayment of the loans under the Line and all other of our obligations to LSQ, whether under the LSQ Agreement or otherwise. For the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, LSQ funded a total of $37,827 and $2,075,605, respectively, under the Line. For the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, LSQ funded a total of $3,081,535 and $5,826,529, respectively, under the Line. As of March 31, 2014 we did not owe anything to LSQ under the line. As of June 30, 2013, $227,011was owed us by LSQ under the line. Fees paid to LSQ for interest and other services for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013 totaled $140 and $605, respectively, and for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2013, they were $832 and $1,529, respectively. On August 28, 2013, the Company provided written notice to LSQ that the Company desired to terminate the LSQ Agreement. The LSQ Agreement required 60 days notice by the Company to LSQ to terminate, and thus the termination was effective October 27, 2013. All ancillary agreements and documents entered into in connection with the LSQ Agreement terminated in connection with the termination of the LSQ Agreement.

 

On August 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) effective August 15, 2013 between the Company and Bank of the West (the “Bank”). This Loan Agreement replaced the LSQ Agreement noted above.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Bank is providing a revolving line of credit (the “Revolver”) to the Company not to exceed $1,500,000.  Interest accrues at a variable one month LIBOR (currently 0.18%) plus 4.00% per annum.  Interest payments are due monthly.

 

Unless terminated by the Company or accelerated by the Bank in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Revolver will terminate and all loans there under must be repaid on November 5, 2014.

 

The Loan Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default typical in financings of this type, including, for example, limitations on assuming additional debt, making investments, or the sale of Company assets or other changes in the ownership of the Company.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Company will grant to the Bank a security interest in all of the Company’s assets to secure the repayment of the loans under the Revolver and to secure all other obligations of the Company to the Bank.

 

The Company will use any money it receives under the Loan Agreement for general short term working capital purposes.

 

The Revolver was activated on October 30, 2013. During the current quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014, the Bank did not fund anything under the Revolver. Consequently, there were no fees paid to the Bank for interest and other services for the same periods.

(f)                                   Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2014, our working capital increased by $459,307 to $5,013,024 from $4,553,717 at June 30, 2013, and concurrently, our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) decreased from 5.77 to 1 at June 30, 2013 to 5.28 to 1 at March 31, 2014. The increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the net cash provided from operations for the period in addition to the cash provided by the issuance of common stock.

 

At March 31, 2014, trade and other receivables were $1,477,820 versus $1,500,461 at June 30, 2013. At March 31, 2014, inventories were $1,857,579 versus $2,032,545 at June 30, 2013. Accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued expenses increased by a combined $230,295 to $1,076,404 from $846,109 at June 30, 2013.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2014, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $678,952 versus $421,902 for the nine months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in the cash provided by operations for the current nine month period resulted primarily from the increased net income for the period in addition to the decrease in inventories and increase in accounts payable, which more than offset the increase in accounts receivable and prepaid expenses and other assets .

 

Net cash used by investing activities was $208,978 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014, compared to net cash used by investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 totaling $59,238. The increase was primarily due to increased purchases of manufacturing equipment for the current period.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $301,586 for the nine months ended March 31, 2014 compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 totaling $265,837. The increase was primarily due to the net proceeds received on the revolving line of credit plus the proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

 

In summary, the $678,952 in cash provided by operating activities, and $301,586 in cash provided by financing activities, more than offset the net cash used in investing activities, resulting in a net increase in cash amounting to $771,560 for the current nine month period.

 

We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since our inception, net of accreted dividends on redeemable common and redeemable preferred stock, have aggregated $13,603,649 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through long-term debt, factoring of accounts receivables, and the sales of common stock, redeemable common stock, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. We have developed and are continuing to modify an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability, positive cash flow from operations, and an adequate level of financial liquidity. Key components of this plan include consistent revenue growth and the cash to be derived from such growth, as well as the expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, securing diagnostic-related government contracts and grants, improving operating efficiencies to reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering our overall operating expenses. If our sales were to decline, are flat, or achieve very slow growth, we would undoubtedly incur operating losses and a decreasing level of liquidity for that period of time. In view of this, and in order to further improve our liquidity and operating results, we entered into the ELITech collaboration and investment.

 

We believe that we have sufficient working capital for our existing operations. However, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure additional funding for our future operations.  A sustained period of unprofitable operations may strain our liquidity and make it difficult to maintain compliance with our financing arrangements. While we may seek additional sources of working capital in response, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure this funding if necessary. We may sell additional equity or borrow additional amounts to improve or preserve our liquidity or expand our existing business. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to secure the funding necessary for additional working capital needs at reasonable terms, if at all.

(h)                                 Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

On February 8, 2006, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with York County, LLC, a California limited liability company (“York”) pursuant to which we leased approximately 32,000 rentable square feet (the “Property”) of York’s approximately 102,400 square foot building, commonly known as Broomfield One and located at 11575 Main Street, Broomfield, Colorado 80020. In 2008, the Property was sold to The Krausz Companies, Inc. a California corporation, aka KE Denver One, LLC (the “Landlord”),

Table of Contents

 

and is part of Landlord’s multi-tenant real property development known as the Broomfield Corporate Center. We use the Property for our headquarters, laboratory research and development facilities and production facilities. The Lease was amended on several occasions, as previously reported.

 

On April 11, 2011, we entered into Lease Amendment No. 5 (the “Fifth Lease Amendment”) with the Landlord. The Fifth Lease Amendment extends the term of the Lease to April 30, 2019 and removes any option to further extend the Lease.

 

The Fifth Lease Amendment also adjusts the base rent (“Base Rent”) payable under the Lease.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2012 through April 30, 2013, Base Rent was $299,840.00 per annum payable in monthly installments of $24,986.67 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2013 through April 30, 2014, Base Rent is $254,720.00 per annum payable in monthly installments of $21,226.67 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2014 through April 30, 2015, Base Rent will be $277,120.00 per annum payable in monthly installments of $23,093.33 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2015 through April 30, 2016, Base Rent will be $288,204.00 per annum payable in monthly installments of $24,017.00 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017, Base Rent will be $299,732.99 per annum payable in monthly installments of $24,977.75 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, Base Rent will be $311,722.31 per annum payable in monthly installments of $25,976.86 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, Base Rent will be $324,191.20 per annum payable in monthly installments of $27,015.93 per month.

 

The Fifth Lease Amendment also establishes an amount to be paid to Landlord by us in the event of a default by us under the Lease. The payment due upon default by us will be $180,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of months remaining in the term of the Lease, and the denominator of which is 96.

 

We have not invested in any real estate or real estate mortgages.

On July 28, 2011, we entered into a First Amended Joint Product Development Agreement (the “2011 Development Agreement”) with ELITech and Wescor. Pursuant to this agreement, each month we will notify Wescor of the amount of their stock purchase commitment, which is equal to sixty-six and 7/10 percent (66.7%) of the amount of each monthly R & D invoice at a per share price of $0.15. Wescor must purchase such shares within thirty (30) days of each notification. For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2014, we issued 363,792 and 1,187,140 shares respectively, under this arrangement. For the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2013, we issued 368,815 and 2,403,527 shares respectively. The proceeds have been used for general working capital purposes. The shares and issued under the 2011 Development Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). The offer of such securities is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4 (a) (2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. A Form D was filed by the Company reporting information regarding the sale of the securities.
