BICO, INC.
(Debtor in Possession)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - Proceedings under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code
On March 18, 2003 ("Petition Date"), BICO, Inc., filed a
voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the
Federal bankruptcy laws ("Bankruptcy Code") in the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania ("Bankruptcy Court"). The Company and its
subsidiaries incurred substantial losses in 2002 and in prior
years and funded their operations and product development
through the sale of common and preferred stock and issuance of
debt instruments. In late 2001 and continuing throughout 2002,
BICO experienced difficulty raising monies to support its own
operations and controlling costs. During 2002, BICO began
selling its assets to provide capital to meet its obligations.
BICO's financial situation continued to deteriorate throughout
2002. Without necessary funding, BICO was unable to continue
operations and to retain sufficient counsel to defend itself
from litigation matters. In 2002, BICO was sued by several
alleged creditors who obtained default judgments against BICO
and a subsidiary. The judgment holders thereafter levied on
property of BICO, scheduling an execution sale of assets. The
threat of losing substantial assets to a single creditor
precipitated the need to seek protection under Chapter 11 and
to reorganize the Company.
As a Debtor-in-Possession, BICO is authorized to continue to
operate as an ongoing business but may not engage in
transactions outside the ordinary course of business without
the approval of the Court, after notice and an opportunity for
a hearing. Under the Bankruptcy Code, actions to collect pre-
petition indebtedness, as well as most other pending
litigation, are stayed and other contractual obligations
against the Company may not be enforced. In addition, under
the Bankruptcy Code, the Company may assume or reject executor
contracts, including lease obligations. Parties affected by
these rejections may file claims with the Court, in accordance
with the reorganization process. Absent an order of the Court,
substantially all pre-petition liabilities are subject to
settlement under a plan of reorganization to be voted upon by
creditors and equity holders and approved by the Court.
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, the amounts reported in
subsequent financial statements may materially change due to
the restructuring of the Company's assets and liabilities as a
result of the Plan of Reorganization and the application of
the provisions of Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy
Code," (SOP 90-7), with respect to reporting upon emergence
from Chapter 11 ("Fresh-Start" accounting). Changes in
accounting principles required under generally accepted
accounting principles within 12 months of emerging from
bankruptcy are required to be adopted at the date of
emergence. Additionally, the Company may choose to make
changes in accounting practices and policies at that time. For
all of these reasons, financial statements for periods
subsequent to emergence from Chapter 11 may not be comparable
with those of prior periods.
The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared on a going concern basis, which assumes continuity of
operations and realization of assets and satisfaction of
liabilities in the ordinary course of business, and in
accordance with SOP-7. Accordingly, all pre-petition
liabilities subject to compromise have been segregated in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets and classified as Liabilities
Subject to Compromise, at the estimated amount of allowable
claims. Liabilities not subject to compromise are separately
classified as current and non-current.
NOTE B - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of BICO,
Inc. (the "Company") and its 52% owned subsidiary, Diasense,
Inc., and its 75% owned subsidiary, Petrol Rem, Inc., and its
99% owned subsidiary, ViaCirQ, Inc., and its 99% owned
subsidiary, ViaTherm, Inc., and its 75% owned subsidiary,
Rapid HIV Detection Corp., and its 98% owned subsidiary
Ceramic Coatings Technologies, Inc., and its 100% owned
subsidiary, B-A-Champ, Inc., have been prepared in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information, and with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Rule 10-01 Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2002.
The Company and its subsidiary Petrol Rem, Inc. filed
voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 bankruptcy with the United
States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania.
As discussed in Note A, for financial reporting purposes, the
consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a
going concern basis. In addition, the debtor has applied the
provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting
by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP
90-7). Accordingly, all pre-petition liabilities subject to
compromise have been segregated in the Balance Sheet and
classified as Liabilities Subject to Compromise, at the
estimate amount of allowable claims. Liabilities not subject
to settlement are classified current and non-current.
NOTE C - Liabilities Subject to Compromise
Pursuant to Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the
commencement of the Chapter 11 Case imposed an automatic stay,
applicable generally to creditors and other parties of
interest, of: (1) the commencement or continuation of a
judicial, administrative or other action or proceeding against
the Debtor that was or could have been commenced prior to
commencement of the Chapter 11 Case or to recover for a claim
that arose prior to commencement of the Chapter 11 Case; (2)
the enforcement against the Debtor or its property of any
judgments obtained prior to commencement of the Chapter 11
Case; (3) the taking of any action to obtain possession of
property of the Debtor or to exercise control over property of
the Debtor; (4) the creation, perfection or enforcement of any
lien against the property of the Debtor's bankruptcy estate;
(5) any act to create, perfect or enforce against property of
the Debtor any lien that secures a claim that arose prior to
the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case; (6) the taking of any
action to collection, assess or recover claims against the
Debtor that arose before commencement of the Chapter 11 Case;
(7) the setoff of any debt owing the Debtor that arose prior
to commencement of the Chapter 11 Case against any claim
against the Debtor; (8) the commencement or continuation of a
proceeding before the United States Tax Court concerning the
Debtor. Any entity may apply to the Bankruptcy Court, upon an
appropriate showing of cause, for relief from the automatic
stay to exercise the foregoing remedies, however, enforcement
of judgments entered on these claims, if any, is expressly
prohibited without further Bankruptcy Court approval.
Petition Date liabilities that are expected to be settled as
part of a plan of reorganization are separately classified in
the consolidated balance sheet as Liabilities Subject to
Compromise. Reductions in liabilities as a result of the
bankruptcy proceedings are recognized as "Forgiveness of Debt"
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE D - Liabilities in Excess of Assets Held for Sale
In March 2003, the Company and its subsidiary Petrol Rem, Inc.
filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of
the Bankruptcy Code. Following the filing, the Company's
equity interests in Diasense, ViaCirq, and Viatherm were sold;
Petrol Rem was liquidated in connection with its own
bankruptcy plan; and the former operating assets at the
Company's manufacturing facility were sold. Although these
transactions all took place after the Chapter 11 filing and
subsequent to the first quarter of 2003, efforts were underway
at that time to sell these assets.
The balance recognized as Liabilities in Excess of Assets Held
for Sale represents the excess of the liabilities related to
the carrying value of the assets held for sale. Following is a
summary of these net assets and (net liabilities):
March 31, 2003 Dec. 31, 2002
Diasense, Inc. $ (148,023) $ (145,148)
ViaCirq, Inc. (683,886) (676,111)
Petrol Rem, Inc. 100,348 100,348
Other Assets 130,000 130,000
-------- ----------
$ (601,561) $ (590,911)
======== =========
NOTE E - Commitments and Contingencies
Management of the Company believes that any liability arising
from litigation through the effective date of the Company's
reorganization will be either dismissed or settled through the
plan of reorganization.
NOTE F - Shareholders' Equity
Under our Plan of Reoganization, confirmed by the Bankruptcy
Court, all of our outstanding preferred stock as of the
bankruptcy date, March 18, 2003 were cancelled. Prior to the
bankruptcy date $248,574,648 shares of our common stock were
issued in connection with preferred stock conversions.
NOTE G - Subsequent Events
On August 3, 2004 the Company, along with a joint plan
proponent, PHD Capital, submitted a Plan of Reorganization.
PHD Capital is an investment banking company and was used by
the Company prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 as an
investment banker to raise funds. None of the principals or
insiders of the Company are principals or insiders of PHD
Capital, nor have any members of PHD Capital ever held any
positions with the Company. As of September 15, 2004,
sufficient votes had been received from creditors to approve
the Plan of Reorganization and at a hearing on September 23,
2004 the Court confirmed the plan subject to the Company
becoming current with its SEC reporting.
Asset Sales
During the course of the bankruptcy, through September 30,
2004, the Company (Debtor) liquidated substantially all of
its operating and investment assets.
In August 2003 the Company sold all inventory and equipment
formerly held at its Indiana County manufacturing facility to
an unrelated party for $130,000. There was no gain or loss
realized on the sale.
In October 2003 the Company sold its equity and debt interest
in subsidiaries ViaCirq, Inc. and Viatherm, Inc. to an
unrelated party for $300,000. A gain of $1,061,254 was
recognized in the fourth quarter of 2003 as a result of this
sale.
In July 2004 the Company sold its equity and debt interest in
subsidiary Diasense, Inc. to an unrelated party for $80,000
and recognized a net gain of $264,773 at that time.
Petrol Rem, Inc. Liquidating Plan of Reorganization
In December 2003 the United States Bankruptcy Court for the
Western District off Pennsylvania confirmed a plan of
liquidation for the Company's subsidiary, Petrol Rem, Inc. All
of its assets were sold to an unrelated party for $100,000.
The proceeds from the sale were utilized in the Liquidating
Plan to pay administrative expenses and claims; priority
creditor claims and unsecured claims of Petrol Rem creditors
to the extent of available funds.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Cash Flows
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash decreased to $5,509 as of March 31, 2003 from $81,682
as of December 31, 2002 primarily due to $122,511 net cash
flow used by operating activities partially offset by
collection of $46,338 notes receivable.
Results of Operations
Prior to the Chapter 11 filing in the first quarter of 2003,
we decided to voluntarily vacate our manufacturing facility in
Indiana, PA. All manufacturing operations were ceased and no
additional work was performed on any remaining contracts at
the Indiana, PA facility. With the exception of ViaCirq
substantially all operations of the Company were discontinued
throughout 2003.
We have proposed a Joint Plan of Reorganization (the Plan) and
have received the required acceptance by our creditors. Under
the Plan we will not continue business operations as an
independent entity. Instead, the Joint Plan Proponent, PHD
Capital, anticipates combining a new entity, cXc Services,
Inc. ("cXc"), into BICO. BICO will obtain 100% of the assets
of cXc, including the exclusive licensing rights to a product
known as a "web phone" and management expertise. In return,
the shareholders of cXc will receive full voting, convertible,
and preferred stock in BICO. The preferred stock shall be
convertible at any time into an amount of common stock equal
to 49.6% of the total stock issuable by BICO, but will not
provide cXc with any priority over the common shareholders
upon liquidation, nor any dividend or disbursement priority.
The former shareholders of cXc will hold two of the three
positions on the Board of Directors of BICO. BICO shall
continue business operations as a publicly traded company with
continuing infusions of capital and resources from selling
additional shares or any other available source. Neither cXc
nor its principals shall receive any funds currently held by
BICO.
Our sales and corresponding costs of products sold during the
three months were $154,734 and $71,109 respectively in 2003
compared to $1,575,871 and $1,155,542 in 2002. The decrease
in sales resulted primarily from the cessation of all
operations except for ViaCirq. ViaCirq's sales of its
hyperthermia totaled $154,734 in the first quarter of 2003
compared to $168,433 in the first quarter of 2002.
Interest income decreased during the first three months to
zero in 2003 from $102,727 in 2002. The decrease occurred
because we had no funds to invest.
Research and Development expenses during the first three
months decreased to zero in 2003 from $426,754 in 2002. The
decrease was due to the fact that we stopped all of our
research activities.
General and Administrative expenses during the first three
months decreased from $4,838,617 in 2002 to $265,442 in 2003.
The decrease is primarily due to the fact that we curtailed
our operations.
In prior years, we wrote off bioremediation inventory because
we did not know if we would eventually be able to establish a
market to sell this inventory. During the three months ended
March 31, 2002, Petrol Rem sold inventory that was previously
written off. Therefore, we recorded an unusual item for the
recovery of inventory valuation allowance of $170,077.
Interest expense decreased from $142,737 in the first quarter
of 2002 to $42,694 during the first quarter of 2003 due to
lower debt balances and our bankruptcy filing.
Our loss on unconsolidated subsidiaries decreased from
$140,635 for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 compared to zero
for the same period in 2003. This reduction is due to the
fact that we discontinued our financial investment in
unconsolidated subsidiaries near the end of 2002.
We recognized an impairment loss of $2,202,642 in the first
quarter of 2002 due to an evaluation of our goodwill and
intangible assets that was required under new accounting
regulations that became effective at the beginning of 2002.
Due to our decision to shut down our subsidiary, BA
Champ/TruePoints, all goodwill associated with this investment
was written off as an impairment charge. In addition,
evaluations were made of our investments in consolidated and
unconsolidated subsidiaries. Based on the uncertainty of
future success, the goodwill associated with our investments
in Tireless, American Intermetallics and Insight Data Link
were also written off as impairment charges. The carrying
value of the marketing agreement for rapid HIV tests was
written down to the balance of obligations due under that
agreement.
We recognized income of $1,249,641 due to forgiveness of debt
due to our bankruptcy filing in the first quarter of 2003.
There was no comparable item in the first quarter of 2002.
