Note 1:
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Obagi
Medical Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a specialty pharmaceutical
company focused on the aesthetic and skin health markets. The Company develops
and commercializes prescription-based, topical skin health systems. The Company
is incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company markets the
vast majority of its products through its own sales force throughout the United
States, and through 21 distribution partners in 44 other countries in regions
including North America, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East, Central America,
and South America. Until April 13, 2009, the Company sold one of its products in
the pharmacy Rx channel through an outside contract sales organization (Note
5). The Company also licenses certain non-prescription product
concepts under the Obagi trademark to a large Japanese based pharmaceutical
company for sale through consumer distribution channels in Japan.
Basis
of Presentation
In the
opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of
normal recurring accruals) to fairly state the financial information contained
therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for
annual periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited
consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December
31, 2008. The Company prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements
following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for
interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other
financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or
omitted. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the
year ending December 31, 2009 or any other period(s).
Note 2:
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statements of
Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 167 (“SFAS No. 167”), Amendments to FASB
Interpretation No. 46(R) (“FIN 46(R)”), which among other changes,
eliminates the quantitative approach previously required by FIN 46(R) for
determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest
entity. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years and interim
periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after November 15, 2009, with
early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the
effects, if any, that SFAS No. 167 may have on its consolidated financial
statements.
In June
2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 105, Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (“ASC 105”). ASC 105, which
establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) as the
single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP to be applied by nongovernmental
entities, does not change current U.S GAAP, but is intended to simplify user
access to all authoritative U.S GAAP by providing all authoritative literature
related to a particular topic in one place. The one exception to this rule is
that the rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal
securities laws are also considered sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements
issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On
its effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC
accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC
accounting literature not included in the Codification have become
nonauthoritative. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have an impact on
the Company’s consolidated financial statements. References made to FASB
guidance throughout this report have been updated for the
Codification.

During
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded a loss on
disposal of fixed assets of $55. The loss is reported as a component of selling,
general and administrative expenses.
Inventories
Inventories
consist of raw materials and finished goods that are manufactured both through
contracted third party manufacturers and in-house and that are purchased from
third parties and are valued at the lower of cost or market. During the three
months ended March 31, 2009, the Company changed its costing method from actual
cost to standard costing, which approximates actual cost. Cost is
determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory reserves are established
when conditions indicate that the selling price could be less than cost due to
physical deterioration, usage, obsolescence, reductions in estimated future
demand and reductions in selling prices. Inventory reserves are measured as the
difference between cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value.
Provision for inventory reserves is charged to cost of sales. The Company's
estimated inventory reserve is provided for in the condensed consolidated
financial statements and actual reserve requirements approximated management's
estimates.

Intangible Assets
Intangible
assets consist of trademarks, distribution rights, covenants not-to-compete,
patents, customer lists, and proprietary formulations. Intangible assets are
amortized over the expected period of benefit using the straight-line method
over the following lives: trademarks (twenty years); distribution rights (ten
years); covenants not-to-compete (seven years); other intangible assets (three
to seventeen years).
At

Note 5:
Exit of Pharmacy Rx Channel
In August
2008, the Company entered the pharmacy Rx channel for the first time by
launching SoluCLENZ, a solubilized benzoyl peroxide (“BPO”) gel for the
treatment of acne, which was available only by prescription. The Company
continually monitored the progress of the launch and the weekly sales data for
SoluCLENZ. The Company determined that, based on available sales data, the
distribution of a single prescription product through the pharmacy Rx channel
and the ongoing investment to support that channel had become cost-prohibitive
to the Company. On April 13, 2009, the Company announced that it would no longer
sell SoluCLENZ in the pharmacy Rx channel.
In
connection with the exit of the pharmacy Rx channel, during the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded
charges approximating $0 and $769, respectively, related to contractual
deposits, obsolete selling materials and other contract termination fees
(included within “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Income), primarily relating to the Company’s contract
sales force that was dedicated to selling SoluCLENZ and the termination of
certain contractual obligations related to SoluCLENZ. In addition,
during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reserved approximately
$440 in inventory (included within “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income). During the three months ended September 30,
2009, no additional inventory reserve was required. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, revenue for the units dispensed during the period was
recognized and the remaining deferred revenue was reclassified as amounts
payable to distributors for product to be returned. The Company does
not anticipate significant additional costs as a result of exiting the channel
during the remainder of fiscal year 2009.
Note
6: Income taxes
The
Company had unrecognized tax benefits, all of which affect the effective
tax rate if recognized, of $132 and $176, as of September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. Management does not anticipate that there will
be a material change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits within the next
12 months.
The
Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in
income tax expense. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accrued
interest related to uncertain tax positions was $6 and $54,
respectively.
The tax years 2004-2008 remain open to examination by the major taxing
jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Income
taxes are determined using an annual effective tax rate, which generally differs
from the United States federal statutory rate, primarily because of state taxes.
The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary
differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the
Company's assets and liabilities, along with net operating losses and credit
carryforwards.
The
effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date. Income tax benefits credited to
stockholders' equity relate to tax benefits associated with amounts that are
deductible for income tax purposes but do not impact net income. These benefits
are principally generated from employee exercises of non-qualified stock
options.

Note 7:
Related-Party Transactions
One of
our largest shareholders, Dr. Zein Obagi, was a 70% beneficial shareholder
in Cellogique Corporation ("Cellogique"), the Company's largest international
distributor. Effective March 20, 2009, Dr. Obagi sold his entire
interest in Cellogique. As a result, after the quarter ended March 31, 2009,
Cellogique is not considered a related party and no sales amounts are included
in the tables below for the three months ended September 30, 2009. In
addition to his primary medical practice in Beverly Hills, California,
Dr. Obagi is also a 75% owner of Obagi Dermatology – San Gabriel Annex,
Inc. (“SGA”), which also purchases products from the Company. SGA is located in
Southern California and caters to the local Chinese communities. Other than the
ownership interest by Dr. Obagi, the Company is otherwise unrelated to
SGA.
Total
sales made to Dr. Obagi, Cellogique (through March 20, 2009) and SGA, and
the related cost of sales for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009
and 2008, are included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of

2008. However, as of November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January
31, 2009, the Company was not in technical compliance with its non-financial
covenant requiring it to submit a listing of intellectual property to the lender
each month. On February 18, 2009, a waiver was obtained by the
Company for November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January 31, 2009. As of
December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all other financial and
non-financial covenants. As of September 30, 2009, the Company was in
compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants.

Litigation
From time

Employment
Agreements
On June
15, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement
with Preston S. Romm, its Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice
President, Finance, Operations and Administration and Treasurer. Under the
agreement, Mr. Romm is entitled to a base salary of $320 per year subject
to annual cost of living increases or such greater increase as may be approved
by the Board and an annual bonus of 60% of his base salary based upon
achievement of certain Company and individual targets. Under the
agreement, either Mr. Romm or the Company may terminate his employment at
any time. If Mr. Romm is terminated for cause or terminates his own
employment, he is entitled to no severance. If Mr. Romm is terminated without
cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason, he is entitled to
twelve months severance. In addition, in the event the company is sold in
an all cash transaction, all of Mr. Romm’s outstanding options and restricted
stock units will accelerate immediately prior to the closing of such
transaction.
Mr. Romm
is also subject to a confidentiality covenant and a covenant not to solicit any
employee to leave the Company’s (or any successor in interest) employ during the
term of any severance period following the date of termination. Any
severance payment is conditioned upon execution by Mr. Romm of a release in form
and substance satisfactory to the Company (or any successor in
interest).
On June
15, 2009, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements
with David S. Goldstein, the Company’s Executive Vice President of Global Sales
and Field Marketing, and Laura B. Hunter, the Company’s Vice President, General
Counsel and Secretary. The terms of their amended and restated
employment agreements are identical to Mr. Romm’s described above, with the
exception of the following: (i) Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Hunter are entitled to an
annual base salaries of $295 and $260, respectively; (ii) Mr. Goldstein and Ms.
Hunter are entitled to an annual bonus of 50% based upon achievement of certain
Company and individual targets; and (iii) if Mr. Goldstein or Ms. Hunter are
terminated without cause, they are entitled to six months severance.
Note 9:
Earnings per common share ("EPS")
The
Company computes earnings per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per
Share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net
income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted
earnings per common share are computed similar to basic earnings per share,
except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional
potential common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common
shares had been issued and if the additional potential common shares were
dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their
effect is anti-dilutive. The Company's potential common shares consist of stock
options and restricted stock awards issued under the Company's stock incentive
plans.
Under the
treasury stock method, the assumed proceeds calculation includes: (i) the
actual proceeds to be received from the employee upon exercise, (ii) the
average unrecognized compensation cost during the period, and (iii) any tax
benefits that will be credited upon exercise to additional paid-in capital. The
Company determines whether its windfall pool of available excess tax benefits is
sufficient to absorb the shortfall. As of September 30, 2009, the Company did
not have a shortfall. If it had, the effect of the hypothetical deferred tax
asset write-off would reduce the assumed proceeds in the treasury stock
calculation. If there is no pool of available excess tax benefits, or if the
amount of the pool is insufficient to absorb the entire hypothetical deficient
tax deduction, the amount of the deficiency that is charged to income tax
expense is not considered to be a reduction of the assumed proceeds. Currently,
the Company has determined that it has a sufficient windfall pool
available.
Basic and
diluted earnings per common share were calculated using the following weighted
average shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008:

Note 10:
Stock Options
During
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company's Board of
Directors, through its Compensation Committee, granted 7,200 and 363,200
options, respectively, under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2005
Plan”), to employees of the Company, including officers, with exercise prices
ranging from $4.69 to $7.58 per share, which was equal to or greater than the
fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of
grant. Pursuant to the 2005 Plan, on April 15, 2009, the Board of
Directors replenished the share reserve under the plan with 500,000 shares,
for a total of 3,000,000 shares authorized for issuance, of which
1,516,950 shares are available for granting of additional options or
issuance of shares. As of September 30, 2009, total unrecognized stock-based
compensation expense related to unvested stock options was approximately $2,206,
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of
approximately 2.06 years.
During the nine months ended September
30, 2009, the Company granted 24,330 shares, of restricted stock under the
2005 Plan to its Board of Directors. The resulting compensation expense
from the restricted stock grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period, which equals the restricted stock vesting term of one
year. The fair market value of the restricted stock granted was $7.40, which was
based upon the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of
grant.
Note 11:
Segments
ASC 280,
Segment Reporting,
requires that the Company disclose certain information about its operating
segments where operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise
about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated
regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate
resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is
required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating
segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to
segments.
As noted
earlier, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company launched
SoluCLENZ, which was the only product that the Company dispensed through the
pharmacy Rx channel. On April 13, 2009, the Company announced it would no
longer sell SoluCLENZ through the pharmacy Rx channel (Note 5). As a
result, the Company now operates its business on the basis of two reportable
segments (i) physician dispensed and (ii) licensing. The
physician dispensed segment produces a broad range of topical skin health
systems and products that enable physicians to sell products to their patients
to treat a range of skin conditions, including pre-mature aging, photo-damage,
hyperpigmentation, acne and soft tissue deficits, such as fine lines and
wrinkles. The licensing segment includes revenues generated from licensing
arrangements with international distributors that specialize in the distribution
and marketing of over-the-counter (“OTC”) medical oriented products in the drug
store, retail and aesthetic spa channels. Sales and gross profit
previously reported in the pharmacy Rx operating segment are now classified as
physician dispensed as part of the Therapeutic product category. Prior
periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Management evaluates its segments on a revenue and gross profit basis, which is
presented below. The United States information is presented separately as the
Company's headquarters reside in the United States. United States sales
represented 81% and 84% of total consolidated net sales for the three months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 82% and 84% of total
consolidated net sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. No other country or single customer accounts for over 10% of total
Company consolidated net sales.

Overview
and Recent Developments
The
following discussion is intended to help the reader understand the results of
operations and financial condition of Obagi Medical Products, Inc. This
discussion is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction
with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the
consolidated financial statements.
We are a
specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the aesthetic and therapeutic skin
health markets. We develop and commercialize prescription-based, topical skin
health systems that enable physicians to treat a range of skin conditions,
including pre-mature aging, photo-damage, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea and
soft tissue deficits, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Current products.
Our primary product line is the Obagi Nu-Derm® System,
which we believe is the only clinically proven, prescription-based, topical skin
health system on the market that has been shown to enhance the skin's overall
health by correcting photo-damage at the cellular level, resulting in a
reduction of the visible signs of aging. The primary active ingredients in this
system are 4% hydroquinone and OTC skin care agents. In April 2004, we
introduced the Obagi-C® Rx System consisting of a combination of prescription
and OTC drugs and adjunctive cosmetic skin care products to treat skin
conditions resulting from sun damage and the oxidative damage of free radicals.
The central ingredients in this system are 4% hydroquinone and Vitamin C. In
October 2005, we launched the Obagi® Professional-C products, a complete line of
proprietary, non-prescription products, which consists of Vitamin C serums used
to reduce the appearance of damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet radiation
and other environmental influences. In July 2006, we launched our Obagi
Condition & Enhance™ System, for use in conjunction with commonly performed
cosmetic procedures including Botox® and dermal filler injections. In October
2006, we launched our first product in the ELASTIderm® product line, an eye
cream for improving the elasticity and skin tone around the eyes. We introduced
the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.™ system and a second product in the ELASTIderm product
line to address acne and skin elasticity around the eye, respectively, based on
positive interim clinical results, in February 2007. In July 2007, we launched
our second system in the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. line, Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.
system II, which is specifically formulated for normal to dry skin. In August
2007, we launched two new Condition & Enhance Systems. One is
designed specifically for use with non-surgical procedures while the other has
been developed for use with surgical procedures. In February 2008, we
launched Obagi ELASTIderm Décolletage, a system to treat skin conditions
resulting from sun damage and improve the elasticity and skin tone for the neck
and chest area. We also market tretinoin, used for the topical treatment of acne
in the U.S., and Obagi Blue Peel® products, used to aid the physician in the
application of skin peeling activities. In August 2008, we entered the pharmacy
Rx channel with our first product, SoluCLENZ™, a solubilized benzoyl peroxide
gel for the treatment of acne. In April 2009, we announced our exit
of the pharmacy Rx channel. In January 2009, we introduced the Obagi
Rosaclear™ system, which is an all-in-one prescription based system that treats
the signs and symptoms of rosacea. In September 2009, we introduced Refissa™, a
FDA approved 0.05% strength tretinoin with an emollient base that has a broad
indication for treatment of fine facial lines, hyperpigmentation and tactile
roughness.
13
Future products.
We focus our research and new product development
activities on improving the efficacy of established prescription and OTC
therapeutic agents by enhancing the penetration of these agents across the skin
barrier using our proprietary technologies collectively known as Penetrating
Therapeutics™. There can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce any
additional systems using these technologies.
U.S. distribution.
We market all of our products through our direct sales
force in the U.S. primarily to plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other
physicians who are focused on aesthetic skin care.
Aesthetic skin care.
As of September 30, 2009, we sold our products to over
6,100 physician-dispensing accounts in the U.S., with no single customer
accounting for more than 5% of our net sales. We generated U.S. net sales of
$20.3 million and $21.7 million during the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $60.5 million and $66.5 million
during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Retail Pharmacy Rx
Channel.
As noted earlier, we launched SoluCLENZ into the pharmacy Rx channel
during the year ended December 31, 2008. We marketed SoluCLENZ
through our dermatology sales force and an outside third party contract sales
organization in the U.S. primarily to dermatologists. We sold
SoluCLENZ to pharmaceutical wholesalers who then distributed directly to the
pharmacy to fill patient prescriptions. On April 13, 2009, we
announced that, after careful monitoring of the available sales data, we would
no longer sell SoluCLENZ in the pharmacy Rx channel as the distribution of a
single prescription product through the pharmacy channel and the ongoing
investment to support that channel had become cost-prohibitive for
us. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we
generated $0 and $0.4 million, respectively, in revenues related to
SoluCLENZ, and incurred approximately $0 and $2.2 million, respectively, in
expenses to support the product and the channel, including costs to exit the
channel.
In
connection with the exit of the pharmacy Rx channel, during the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded charges approximating $0 and $0.8
million, respectively, related to contractual deposits and obsolete selling
materials primarily associated with our contract sales force that was
dedicated to selling SoluCLENZ and the termination of certain contractual
obligations related to SoluCLENZ. In addition, during the three months
ended March 31, 2009, we reserved approximately $0.4 million in inventory.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, no additional inventory
reserve was required. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, revenue for
the units dispensed during the period was recognized and the remaining deferred
revenue was reclassified as amounts payable to distributors for product to be
returned. We do not anticipate significant additional costs as a
result of exiting the channel during the remainder of 2009.
We
continue to believe, based upon the compelling clinical data, that our patented
solubilized BPO is a novel technology.
International distribution.
We market our products internationally through 21
international distribution partners that have sales and marketing activities in
44 countries outside of the U.S. Much like our business model in the U.S., the
paradigm used by these distributors is to sell our products through direct sales
representatives to physicians, or through alternative distribution channels
depending on regulatory requirements and industry practices. We generated
international net sales of $4.6 million and $4.3 million during the
three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $12.9 million
and $12.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Licensing.
We market our products in the Japanese retail markets
through a trademark and know-how license agreement with Rohto
Pharmaceutical Co., LTD ("Rohto"). Under our agreement, Rohto is
licensed to manufacture and sell a series of OTC products under the Obagi brand
name in the Japanese drug store channel, and we receive a royalty based upon
sales of Obagi branded products in Japan by Rohto. Rohto's Obagi branded
products are sold through approximately 6,300 high-end drug stores. We have
other licensing arrangements in Japan to market and sell OTC product systems
under the Obagi brand, both for in-office use in facial procedures, as well as
for sale as a take-home product kit in the spa channel. We receive royalties
based upon these arrangements. We generated licensing revenue of
$1.5 million and $1.2 million during the three months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $3.5 million and $3.4 million during the
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Results of operations.
As of September 30, 2009, we had accumulated earnings of
$13.1 million. We reported net income of $3.0 million and $2.9 million
for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $6.5
million and $10.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
Seasonality.
Sales of our products have historically been higher
between September and March. We believe this is due to increased product use and
patient compliance during these months. We believe this increased usage and
compliance relates to several factors such as higher patient tendencies toward
daily compliance inversely proportionate to their tendency to travel and/or
engage in other disruptive activities. Patient travel and other disruptive
activities that affect compliance are at their peak during July and August. The
effects of seasonality in the past have been offset by the launch of new
products, however we cannot assure you that we will be able to continue to
offset the effects of seasonality.
14
Economy. Many
treatments in which our products are used are considered cosmetic in nature, are
typically paid for by the patient out of disposable income and generally are not
subject to reimbursement by third-party payers such as health insurance
organizations. As a result, we believe that our current and future sales growth
will, to some extent, be influenced by the economic conditions within the
geographic markets in which we sell our products. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, we saw the unprecedented economic conditions within the U.S.
have a negative impact on our revenue performance. We believe that the economic
downturn has reduced disposable income, which we believe has led to reduced
patient visits to physician offices for aesthetic procedures and patients using
less product per application to extend the time needed for obtaining refills of
product from their physicians. The effect of the U.S. economic slow down was
seen in all of our product categories, but was more pronounced within the
Nu-Derm and Elasticity product lines. At this time, it is extremely
difficult to measure the severity, length, geographic and financial impact of
the economic downturn and its longer term impact on our product sales, but we
will continue to monitor it closely. We believe that some of the
negative impact may be partially offset due to the following: (i) the continued
growth in our market share; (ii) the aesthetic nature of our products; (iii) the
lower price point of our products compared to other aesthetic products and
procedures in our market; (iv) the desire to maintain a healthy and youthful
appearance; and (v) the demographics of the patients who use our
products.
Future growth.
We believe that our future growth will be driven by
increased direct sales coverage, penetration into non-core markets such as other
medical specialties, ongoing marketing efforts to create increased awareness of
the Obagi brand and the benefits of skin health and new product offerings. We
plan to continue to invest resources in the commercialization of new
applications of our current products, the continuing development of our pipeline
of products and the in-licensing or acquisition of new product opportunities.
However, due to the uncertainties in the economic markets, we have no immediate
plans for any such investments and, as a result, our near-term ongoing
profitability is primarily dependent upon the continued success of our current
product offerings.
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is
based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which have been
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amounts of assets and liabilities, sales and expenses, and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On a
periodic basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue
recognition, sales return reserve, accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and
other intangible assets. We use historical experience and other assumptions as
the basis for making estimates. By their nature, these estimates are subject to
an inherent degree of uncertainty. As a result, we cannot assure you that future
actual results will not differ significantly from estimated
results.
We
believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in revenue
recognition, sales returns and allowances, accounts receivable, inventory,
goodwill and intangible assets, leases, stock-based compensation and accounting
for income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements, so we consider these to be our critical
accounting policies. Historically, our estimates, assumptions and judgments
relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from
actual results. However, it is possible that the actual results we experience
may differ materially and adversely from our estimates in the future. The
critical accounting estimates associated with these policies are described in
Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K
filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 11,
2009.

Net sales
decreased by $1.1 million to $24.9 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $26.0 million during the three
months ended September 30, 2008. Overall, we believe the economic conditions
within the U.S. had a negative impact on our revenue performance during the
three months ended September 30, 2009. We believe that the economic downturn has
reduced disposable income, which in turn has led to reduced patient visits to
physician offices for aesthetic products and procedures, and a decline in the
amount of such procedures being performed and products being purchased. The
effect of the U.S. economic slow down effect was seen in most product
categories, but was more pronounced within the Nu-Derm and Vitamin C product
lines.
Physician
dispensed sales decreased $1.4 million, to $23.4 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $24.8 million during the three months
ended September 30, 2008. Although revenue from our Elasticity and
Therapeutic lines remained flat, we experienced a decline in other product
categories as follows: (i) a decline in Nu-Derm sales of $1.7 million
due to the continued slowdown of the economy; and (ii) a $0.3 million decline in
Vitamin C sales. These declines were partially offset by an increase in the
Other category of $0.6 million. The growth in the Other category was primarily
attributable to the launch of Refissa™ in September, which contributed $0.4
million. Licensing fees increased by $0.3 million due to the
launch of a new product by our Japan partner Rohto during the three months ended
September 30, 2009.
Our
aggregate sales decline of $1.5 million in the U.S. was partially offset by
a $0.4 million increase from our International markets and licensing fees.
The increase in International sales was primarily in the tretinoin category and
was principally a result of an increase of $0.4 million from Europe and
Other, offset by a $0.3 million decrease from the Middle East. Our
licensing fees increased $0.3 million primarily due to a new product launch
by Rhoto. We believe, depending upon its duration and severity, that the ongoing
global economic slow down may continue to negatively impact our net
sales.
Gross margin percentage.
Overall, our gross margin percentage decreased to 78.9%
for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 80.3% for the three
months ended September 30, 2008. The overall decline was primarily
attributable to a decline in gross margin for our physician dispensed segment,
which decreased to 77.7% as compared to 79.5% for the same period last
year. The decline was primarily a result of: (i) an increase in
discounting promotional activities; (ii) a new rebate program; and (iii) a
change in sales mix among products. Gross margin for our licensing
segment increased to 98.0% compared to 97.3% for the same period last
year. The increase was primarily due to a $0.3 million increase in
our licensing fees during the three months ended September 30,
2009.
Selling, general and
administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other
personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, stock-based
compensation, depreciation and amortization not attributable to products sold,
warehousing costs, advertising, travel expense and other selling expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.4 million to
$13.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to
$15.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease
was primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.6 million decrease in professional
fees, consisting primarily of a reduction in legal and consulting expenses; (ii)
a $0.6 million decrease in Other marketing principally as a result of cost
cutting initiatives; (iii) a $0.4 million decrease in expenses related to our
SoluCLENZ product as a result of our exit from the pharmacy Rx channel; (iv) a
$0.2 million decrease in rent and related expenses due to the relocation of our
corporate headquarters during the quarter ended September 30, 2008; (v) a $0.2
million decrease in noncash compensation primarily as a result of vesting of
restricted stocks for certain employees; and (vi) a $0.1 million
decrease in promotions and training expenses; but was partially offset by (i) a
$0.5 million increase in salaries and related expenses primarily due to
commissions, bonus and severance of $0.1 million; (ii) a $0.1 million increase
in advertising expenses; and (iii) a $0.1 million increase in other
expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and
administrative expenses in the three months ended September 30, 2009 was 55% as
compared to 58% for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
16
Research and development.
Research and development decreased $0.1 million to $1.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $1.2
million for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This was primarily due to
a $0.3 million increase related to the development of new products, which was
offset by a $0.2 million decrease in development costs related to new
indications of our existing products. As a percentage of net sales,
research and development costs remained flat at 4% for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Interest income and Interest
expense. Interest income declined to $34,000 for
the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $0.1 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2008. We earn interest income from
the investment of our cash balance into higher interest rate yielding
certificate of deposit. Although our average cash and cash equivalents,
including short term investments, increased from $23.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2008 to $28.0 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2009, our weighted average interest rate decreased from
1.76% during the three months ended September 30, 2008 to 0.53% during the three
months ended September 30, 2009. Interest expense was $17,000 during the three
months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $28,000 for the three months
ended September 30, 2008. The decline was attributable to lower amortization of
debt issuance costs related to our line of credit entered into in November 2008
in the three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to our
previous line of credit that was in place during the three months ended
September 30, 2008.
Income taxes.
Income tax expense remained flat at $1.9 million
for three months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2008. Our effective tax rate was 38.4% for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 and 39.7% for the three months ended September 30,
2008.
The
nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September
30, 2008
Net sales.
The following table compares net sales by product line
and certain selected products for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008. Our sales previously reported in the pharmacy Rx operating segment are now
classified as physician dispensed as part of the Therapeutic product
category. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to
the current presentation.

Net sales
decreased by $5.8 million to $73.4 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, as compared to $79.2 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. Overall, we believe the economic conditions within the
U.S. had a negative impact on our revenue performance during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. We believe that the economic downturn has reduced
disposable income, which in turn has led to reduced patient visits to physician
offices for aesthetic products and procedures, and a decline in the amount of
such procedures being performed and products being purchased. The effect of the
U.S. economic slow down was seen in all product categories but was more
pronounced within the Elasticity and Nu-Derm product lines.
Physician
dispensed sales decreased $5.9 million to $69.9 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $75.8 million during the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. The decline was due to the
following: (i) a decline in Nu-Derm sales of $4.9 million; (ii)
a $2.8 million decline in Elasticity sales, as a result of the U.S.
economic slowdown and the increased promotional activity surrounding the launch
of our ELASTIderm Décolletage product in 2008 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2009; and (iii) a sales decline of $0.7 million in the
Vitamin C category; offset in part by (i) a sales increase in the Therapeutic
category of $1.9 million; and (ii) a sales increase of $0.6 million in our Other
category. The Therapeutic category increase was primarily attributable to the
launch of our Rosaclear system, which contributed $2.2 million in sales and
SoluCLENZ, which contributed $0.4 million during the nine months ended September
30, 2009 but was partially offset by a decline of approximately $0.7 million in
our CLENZIderm system sales. The Other category increase was primarily
attributable to the launch of Refissa, part of our tretinoin system, which
contributed $0.4 million. Licensing fees increased by
$0.1 million.
17
Our
aggregate sales decline of $6.0 million in the U.S. was partially offset by
a $0.3 million increase from our International markets and licensing fees.
The increase in international sales was primarily in the Therapeutic and Other
categories and primarily came from two regions: (i) an increase of
$0.9 million from Europe and Other, and (ii) an increase of $0.6 million from
the Far East Region; offset by (i) a decrease of $1.2 million from the Middle
East, and (ii) a decrease of $0.1 million from the Americas. Our licensing fees
increase $0.1 million. We believe, depending upon its duration and severity,
that a continued global economic slow down may negatively impact our future net
sales.
Gross margin percentage.
Overall, our gross margin percentage decreased to 78.8%
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to 81.2% for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. The overall decline was primarily
attributable to a decline in gross margin for our physician dispensed segment,
which decreased to 77.9% compared to 80.5% for the same period last
year. The decline was primarily a result of: (i) a $0.4 million
reserve on SoluCLENZ inventory in connection with our exit of the pharmacy Rx
channel; (ii) an increase in discounting promotional activities; and (iii) a
change in sales mix among products. Gross margin for our licensing
segment increased to 97.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as
compared to 97.0% for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due
to a $0.1 million increase in our licensing fees during the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
Selling, general and
administrative. Selling, general and
administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other
personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, stock-based
compensation, depreciation and amortization not attributable to products sold,
warehousing costs, advertising, travel expense and other selling expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to
$43.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to
$43.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase
was primarily due to the following: (i) a $1.8 million increase in expenses
related to our SoluCLENZ product line, of which $1.0 million was due to the
distribution and support of the product in the pharmacy Rx channel and $0.8
million was due to the write off of nonrefundable deposits and the accrual of
other contract termination costs; (ii) a $0.4 million increase in promotional
expenses; (iii) a $0.4 million increase in other expenses primarily related to
taxes; (iv) a $0.3 million increase in volume driven activities; (v) a $0.3
million increase in salaries and related expenses, primarily related to
severance costs; (vi) a $0.2 million increase in depreciation and
amortization, primarily due to the implementation of our new Enterprise Resource
Planning (“ERP”) system in early 2009; which was partially offset by (i) a $2.3
million decrease in professional fees, consisting primarily of legal and
consulting expenses; (ii) a $0.3 million decrease in noncash compensation; and
(iii) a $0.2 million decrease in expenses related to advertising and other
marketing expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general
and administrative expenses in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 60%
as compared to 55% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Research and development.
Research and development expenses decreased
$0.4 million to $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 as compared to $3.9 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2008. The decrease was primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.5 million
decrease in development costs related to new indications of our existing
products; and (ii) a $0.1 million decrease in royalties paid to Dr. Obagi
pursuant to our June 29, 2006 services agreement, but was offset in part by a
$0.2 million increase related to the development of new products. As a
percentage of net sales, research and development costs remained flat at 5% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
Interest income and Interest
expense. Interest income declined to $0.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $0.3 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008. We earn interest income from the
investment of our cash balance into higher interest rate yielding certificate of
deposit account. Although our average cash and cash equivalents,
including short term investments, increased from $21.1 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2008 to $23.4 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, our weighted average interest rate decreased from 2.04%
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 to 0.92% during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. Interest expense was $53,000 during the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, as compared to $0.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. The decline was attributable to lower amortization of debt
issuance costs related to our line of credit entered into in November 2008 in
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to our previous line of
credit that was in place during the nine months ended September 30,
2008.
Income taxes.
Income tax expense decreased $2.9 million to
$4.1 million for nine months ended September 30, 2009, as compared to
$6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our effective
tax rate was 38.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 39.9% for
the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was primarily
due to a decrease in state taxes and the utilization of the federal research and
development credit which was extended on October 3, 2008, through the year
ending December 31, 2009.

Liquidity and capital
resources
Trends
and uncertainties affecting liquidity
Our
primary sources of liquidity are cash generated by operations and availability
under our Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Facility”) entered into in November
2008. As of September 30, 2009, we had approximately
$31.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and
$20.0 million available under the Facility. We currently believe that
our existing cash balances and cash generated by operations, together with our
available credit capacity, will enable us to meet foreseeable liquidity
requirements within the next twelve months. The following has or is
expected to impact liquidity:

We
expect to continue to invest in our ERP
system;

On
August 5, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of our
outstanding common shares in the open market over the next two
years. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we purchased
$4.0 million of our outstanding stock. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, we purchased 183,664 additional shares of
our outstanding stock for a cost of $1.3 million;
and

§
|
Our
days sales outstanding (“DSO”) increased from 74 days at December 31, 2008
to 76 at September 30, 2009. In response to the increase in DSO and the
economic downturn, we have increased our allowance for doubtful accounts
and sales returns to $1.7 million as of September 30, 2009, as compared to
$1.2 million as of December 31,
2008.
|
We are
operating in an uncertain and volatile economic environment, which could have
unanticipated adverse effects on our business. The pharmaceutical industry has
been impacted by recent volatility in the financial markets, including declines
in stock prices, and by uncertain economic conditions. Changes in food and fuel
prices, changes in the credit and housing markets leading to the current
financial and credit crisis, actual and potential job losses among many sectors
of the economy, significant declines in the stock market resulting in large
losses to consumer retirement and investment accounts, and uncertainty regarding
future federal tax and economic policies have all added to declines in consumer
confidence and curtailed consumer spending.
The
recent economic downturn and ongoing tightening of credit in financial markets
has, in some cases, adversely impacted our customers’ cash flow and ability to
access sufficient credit in a timely manner, which, in turn, has impacted their
ability to make timely payments to us. In light of these circumstances, and in
order to remain competitive in the marketplace, for certain selected customers
who we deemed to be credit worthy, based upon their prior payment history, we
extended our standard payment terms from net 30 days to net 60 days for selected
product purchases. Such extension did not represent a permanent change to the
payment terms for such customers but, rather, was applicable only to specified
purchases made by such customers. Sales of products having net 60 day payment
terms represented 53% of our net sales for the three months ended September 30,
2009.
We expect
the weak economic environment to continue and do not expect macroeconomic
conditions to be conducive to growth in 2009. Achieving financial results that
compare favorably with year-ago results will be challenging in the last quarter
of 2009. We intend to moderate our growth plans and avoid credit and market
risk. We expect to continue to generate positive working capital through our
operations and, at this time, we do not anticipate drawing on our
Facility.
As of
November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January 31, 2009, we were not in technical
compliance with our non-financial covenant requiring us to submit a listing of
intellectual property to the lender each month. On February 18, 2009,
we obtained a waiver for November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January 31,
2009. We were in compliance with all other financial and
non-financial covenants and we had no outstanding balance on the Facility as of
December 31, 2008.
As of
September 30, 2009, we had no outstanding balance on the Facility and we were in
compliance with both our non-financial and financial covenants. We expect to
remain in compliance during the remainder of 2009; however, economic conditions
or the occurrence of events discussed under “Risk Factors” in our 2008 Annual
Report on Form 10-K could cause noncompliance with our financial
covenants.
We expect
to be able to manage our working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts
to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. As of September 30, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, we had approximately $51.8 million and
$44.1 million, respectively, in working capital. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, we invested approximately $0.9 million in
capital expenditures, which largely consist of expenses related to our ERP
system. For the remainder of 2009, we expect to spend approximately
$0.6 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to the completion of our
ERP system, sales force automation and information technology
upgrades.
19
Cash
requirements for our business
Historically,
we have generated cash from operations in excess of working capital requirements
and through private and public sales of common stock. We currently invest our
cash and cash equivalents in certificates of deposit with maturities no greater
than one year. As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had
approximately $31.2 million and $19.9 million, respectively, of cash and
cash equivalents and short-term investments.
On
August 5, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10
million of our outstanding common shares over a period of two
years. The purchases are to be made in the open market or in
privately negotiated transactions from time to time as permitted by securities
laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and
amount of any repurchases are determined by a three person committee, consisting
of members of our board and management, at its discretion and will be subject to
economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and
other factors and repurchases may be discontinued at any time. During
the year ended December 31, 2008, we purchased 627,367 shares of our outstanding
stock for a cost of $4.0 million. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2009, we purchased 183,664 additional shares of our outstanding
stock for a cost of $1.3 million.
We
continually evaluate new opportunities for products and, if and when
appropriate, intend to pursue such opportunities through the acquisitions of
companies, products or technologies and our own development activities. Our
ability to execute on such opportunities in some circumstances may be dependent,
in part, upon our ability to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable
terms. There can be no assurance that funds from these sources will be available
when needed or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. If additional funds
are raised by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our
stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or
such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior
to those of the holders of our common stock.
Cash
flow
Nine months ended September 30,
2009. For the nine months ended September 30,
2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $13.9 million. The
primary sources of cash were $6.5 million in net income, including the
effect of: (i) adjusting for non-cash items; (ii) an increase in
accounts receivable due to extended payment terms with certain customers; (iii)
an increase in accounts payable through timing of purchasing and payments; (iv)
a decrease of inventory primarily through the improvement in our inventory turn
ratio from 2.7 to 2.9; and (v) a decrease in income tax receivable primarily due
to refunds received from federal and state agencies.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $3.0 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. This was primarily due to the following: (i) the purchase of
$1.7 million in short-term certificates of deposit; (ii) costs related to phase
one of our new ERP system implemented during the nine months ended September 30,
2009; (iii) website and software upgrades; and (iv) investments in
licenses and patent related intellectual property.
Net cash
used in financing activities was $1.3 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009. This was primarily due to purchase of $1.3 million of our
outstanding stock during the year.
Nine months ended September
30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30,
2008, net cash provided by operating activities was $13.0 million. The
primary sources and uses of cash were $10.4 million in net income,
including the effect of: (i) adjusting for non-cash
items; (ii) a net increase in accounts payable and current
liabilities through timing of payment for operational and inventory purchases;
(iii) a decrease in other assets due to a decrease in our income tax
receivable; and (iv) a decrease in prepaid and other assets due to rebates
received on products in our Other product line; offset by (i) an increase
of inventory primarily through added stocking levels of the Nu-Derm system in
anticipation of peak seasonal sales between the months of September and March
(our inventory turn ratio decreased from 2.8 to 2.4); and (ii) an increase
of accounts receivable due to an increase in days sales outstanding, from 59 to
66.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2008. This was primarily due to the following: (i) cost
related to the initial architectural design of and leasehold improvements for
our new corporate headquarters; (ii) website and software maintenance;
(iii) costs related to our new ERP system anticipated to be implemented in 2009;
and (iii) investments in patent related intellectual property. We
anticipate spending approximately $3.8 million in total for the entire year
of 2008 for capital expenditures primarily associated with leasehold
improvements for the new facility and implementation of the new ERP
system.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $0.2 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2008. This was primarily the result of proceeds received from the
exercise of stock options.
Recent
accounting pronouncements
For
information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 of Notes to
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1
of this Quarterly Report.
20
We invest
our excess cash primarily in short term certificates of deposit. We do not
utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or
other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions in any
material fashion. Accordingly, we believe that we are not subject to any
material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange
rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect
market risk sensitive instruments.
Although
substantially all of our sales and purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars,
future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price
competitiveness of our products outside the U.S. We do not believe, however,
that we currently have significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk
and have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies.
Interest
rate risk
Our
interest income and expense is more sensitive to fluctuations in the general
level of the U.S. prime rate and LIBOR interest rates than to changes in rates
in other markets. Changes in U.S. LIBOR interest rates affect the interest
earned on our cash and cash equivalents. At September 30, 2009, we had
approximately $31.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and short term
investments. If the interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents and short
term investments were to increase or decrease by 1% for the year, annual
interest income would increase or decrease by approximately
$0.3 million.
Other
risks
Generally
we have been able to collect our accounts receivable in the ordinary course of
business. We continuously monitor collections and payments from
customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses as deemed
appropriate based upon historical experience and any specific customer
collection issues that have been identified. Although our DSO increased from 74
days at December 31, 2008 to 76 days at September 30, 2009, and we continue to
see a weakened economic environment, we do not believe that our accounts
receivable balance represents a significant credit risk based upon our past
collection experience.
The
current economic downturn has had an adverse impact on the financial services
industry, including insurance companies, some of which currently provide
coverage to us. To the extent we have any claims in the future and such
insurance providers are unable, due to their financial condition, to pay covered
claims, we could experience adverse impacts on our cash flow and cash
reserves. We have no way of knowing whether or not any insurance
providers that are financially stable at this time will experience financial
difficulties in the future that could impact their ability to pay covered
claims.
Evaluation
of disclosure controls and procedures
As of
September 30, 2009, our management, with the participation of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of
our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under
the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective at a reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2009. Our
disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information
required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes
in internal control over financial reporting
There
were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred
during the three months ended September 30, 2009 that have materially affected,
or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
PART II
ITEM
1: LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS
From time
to time, we are involved in litigation and other legal matters in the normal
course of business. At this time, management does not believe that the outcome
of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The
following risk factors are updated from previous disclosure in our Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
Because
we currently have limited commercial manufacturing capabilities, we will
continue to be dependent on third parties to manufacture products for us for
some time.
We have
limited commercial manufacturing experience and currently outsource all of our
non-BPO product manufacturing to third-party contract manufacturers. Although we
have received sufficient material from our manufacturers to meet our current
needs, we do not have long-term contracts with most of these third parties.
Accordingly, these supply arrangements may be terminated at any time. Although
we have two or more qualified manufacturers for certain of our key products,
certain products, including some of our sun protection products, are currently
supplied by a single source. In the event that this supplier or any of our other
third party manufacturers terminates it supply arrangement with us, experiences
financial difficulties or suffers any damage to its facilities, we may
experience delays in securing sufficient amounts of our products, which could
harm our business, reputation and relationships with customers. Triax Pharamceuticals,
LLC and Tolmar Inc. are our primary suppliers and manufacturers of
tretinoin and metronidazole, respectively, pursuant to contracts that have
initial termination dates in 2014 and 2013, respectively. While there are
several other manufacturers of tretinion and metronidazole, both generic
products, the termination of those agreements or any loss of services under
those agreements could be difficult for us to
replace. We expect to continue to rely on third parties to produce materials
required for clinical trials and for the commercial production of our
products
Reliance
on third-party manufacturers entails risks to which we would not be subject if
we manufactured products ourselves, including reliance on the third party for
regulatory compliance and quality assurance, the possibility of breach of the
manufacturing agreement by the third party, and the possibility of termination
or non-renewal of the agreement by the third party.
We have
developed a manufacturing facility dedicated to the production of our CLENZIderm
M.D. serum gel. We may expand the capabilities of that manufacturing site and
may in the future elect to manufacture certain new products developed or certain
existing products without the assistance of third parties. However, in order to
make that election, we will need to invest substantial additional funds and
recruit qualified personnel in order to operate our development manufacturing
facility on a commercial basis. There can be no assurance that we will
successfully manufacture our own products, and if we are not able to make or
obtain adequate supplies of our products, it will be more difficult for us to
maintain and grow sales of CLENZIderm M.D. or launch other new products and
compete effectively.
Dependence
upon third parties for the manufacture of our products may reduce our profit
margins, or the sale of our products, and may limit our ability to develop and
deliver products on a timely and competitive basis.
Risks
Related to Regulatory Matters
New
regulations could prohibit physicians from dispensing our products
directly.
In our
primary market, the United States, we market our products and systems directly
to physicians to dispense in their offices. Most of the products and systems we
sell are dispensed by physicians directly to their patients in their offices,
although some patients choose to have prescriptions for our tretinoin and
metronidazole products filled by pharmacies instead of the treating physician in
order to obtain insurance coverage for such products. Although several of the
products in our systems contain Hydroquinone 4% which is considered a DESI – 2
drug by the FDA, they are not currently available by prescription in the
pharmacy. In the event state regulations change to limit or prohibit the ability
of physicians to dispense our products directly to patients in their offices or
change to limit or prevent our ability to distribute products directly through
physicians, patients may be required to purchase certain of our products in
pharmacies, where they are currently unavailable. In addition,
several states have recently taken action against several of our customers who
also sell our products to patients over the internet, questioning whether these
practices are consistent with such states’ pharmacy licensure and physician
dispensing rules. An adverse outcome by any of these states against
any
of these customers may result in such customers (including other customers in
the state) inability to continue selling our products over the internet or at
all. If patients are unable to purchase our products directly from physicians or
our customers are prohibited from selling our products in their current manner
or at all in these or other states, it could result in both customers and
patients purchasing less of our product than they otherwise would, which would
harm our business.

Issuer
Purchases of Equity Securities
On August
5, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million
of our outstanding common shares over a period of two years. The
purchases are to be made in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal
requirements. The timing manner, price and amount of any repurchases
are determined by a three person committee, consisting of members of our board
and management, at its discretion and will be subject to economic and market
conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors and
repurchases may be discontinued at any time. As of September 30, 2009, $4.7
million was still authorized for the repurchase of shares. No repurchases were
made in the three months ended September 30, 2009
