Explanatory Note – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) is filing this amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the interim period ended March 31, 2010, which was originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 11, 2010 (the “Original Filing”), to include restated financial statements as described in Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has restated its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, to properly account for the following:
|
·
|
The Company’s adoption of accounting principles related to embedded conversion features included in certain convertible notes payable issued in May and October 2008 that became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009.
|
|
·
|
The effect of a change in a valuation allowance that resulted from a change in judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax asset in future years.
|
|
·
|
In addition, certain reclassifications related to the accounting for deferred advertising costs and deferred income taxes have been made in order to maintain consistency and comparability with our subsequent presentations in fiscal year 2010 on Forms 10-Q and 10-K.
|
The revisions relate to non-operating and non-cash items for the interim period ended March 31, 2010, and do not impact reported revenues, operating income, or the Company’s cash position. Please refer to Note 3 of the condensed consolidated financial statements below for a detailed analysis of the effects of the restatements on our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010.
This Form 10-Q/A amends the following items in the Company’s Original Filing:
|
·
|
Part I – Item 1 – Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
|
|
·
|
Part I – Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
|
|
·
|
Part I – Item 4T – Controls and Procedures
|
|
·
|
Part II – Item 6 – Exhibits
|
For the convenience of the reader, this Form 10-Q/A sets forth the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in its entirety. Other than as described above, none of the other disclosures in the Original Filing have been amended or updated. Among other things, forward-looking statements made in the Original Filing have not been revised to reflect events that occurred or facts that became known to the Company after the filing of the Original Filing, and such forward-looking statements should be read in their historical context. Accordingly, this Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the Company’s subsequent filings to the Original Filing with the SEC.

Notes To The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2010
Note 1 — Basis of Presentation (Restated)
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and the notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. However, in the opinion of the Company, such information includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto that are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, that was filed with the SEC on December 17, 2009. The results of operations for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Liberator Medical Supply, Inc., Liberator Health and Education, Inc., and Liberator Health and Wellness, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between the periods presented. The following reclassification was made to the fiscal year 2009 financial statements to be consistent with the fiscal year 2010 financial statements presented:
|
·
|
On the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2009, $2,016,000 of Deferred Advertising was reclassified from Current Assets to Non-current Assets in order to be consistent with accounting guidance issued for deferred advertising costs.
|
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Restated)
The significant accounting policies followed by the Company for interim reporting are consistent with those included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, except for the accounting policy related to Derivative Financial Instruments discussed below.
Derivative Financial Instruments
We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. However, we have entered into certain other financial instruments and contracts with embedded conversion features on convertible debt instruments that must be separated from the host instrument and are not afforded equity classification. These instruments are required to be carried as derivative liabilities, at fair value, in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Derivative financial instruments consist of financial instruments or other contracts that contain a notional amount and one or more underlying variables (e.g. interest rate, security price or other variable), require no initial net investment and permit net settlement. Derivative financial instruments may be free-standing or embedded in other financial instruments. Further, derivative financial instruments are initially, and subsequently, measured at fair value and recorded as assets or liabilities. The changes in fair values at each reporting period, or interim period, are recorded as a charge or a benefit to earnings included in the Other Income (Expense) section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
8
We estimate fair values of derivative financial instruments using various techniques that are considered to be consistent with the objective measurement of fair values. In selecting the appropriate technique, we consider, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies and the expected means of settlement. Estimating fair values of derivative financial instruments requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external market factors. In addition, option-based techniques are highly volatile and sensitive to changes in the trading market price of our common stock. Since derivative financial instruments are initially and subsequently carried at fair values, our income or loss will reflect the volatility in changes to these estimates and assumptions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
ASC 815-40-15, “Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Scope and Scope Exceptions)" (“ASC 815-40-15”)
On October 1, 2009, we adopted ASC 815-40-15, which requires that we apply a two-step approach in evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to our own stock, including evaluating the instrument's contingent exercise and settlement provisions. Upon adoption of ASC 815-40-15 on October 1, 2009, we reclassified $5,820,000 from stockholders’ equity to derivative liabilities. Additionally, the fair value of the derivative liabilities are adjusted to fair market value at the end of each reporting period (See Notes 4 and 9 below).
ASU No. 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810) — Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities.” (“ASU 2009-17”)
ASU 2009-17 amends prior guidance to change how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated. The determination of whether a company is required to consolidate an entity is based on, among other things, an entity’s purpose and design and a company’s ability to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance. ASU 2009-17 requires additional disclosures about the reporting entity’s involvement with variable-interest entities and any significant changes in risk exposure due to that involvement as well as its affect on the entity’s financial statements. The provisions of ASU 2009-17 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements” (“ASU 2010-06”)
ASU 2010-06 amends ASC Subtopic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures — Overall”, and requires reporting entities to disclose (1) the amount of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers, and (2) separate information about purchases, sales, issuance and settlements in the reconciliation of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). ASU 2010-06 also requires reporting entities to provide fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and disclose the inputs and valuation techniques for fair value measurements that fall within Levels 2 and 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These disclosures and clarification are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuance, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The provisions of ASU 2010-06 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-09, “Subsequent Events — Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements” (“ASU 2010-09”)
ASU 2010-09 amends ASC Subtopic 855-10, “Subsequent Events — Overall” (“ASC 855-10”) and requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued but removed the requirement to disclose this date in the notes to the entity’s financial statements. The amendments are effective upon issuance of the final update and accordingly, the Company has adopted the provisions of ASU 2010-09 during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The adoption of these provisions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets.” (“ASU 2009-16”)
ASU 2009-16 amends prior accounting guidance to enhance reporting about transfers of financial assets, including securitizations, and where companies have continuing exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. ASU 2009-16 eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity” and changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets. ASU 2009-16 also requires additional disclosures about all continuing involvements with transferred financial assets including information about gains and losses resulting from transfers during the period. The provisions of ASU 2009-16 became effective on January 1, 2010 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standards
ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) — Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2009-13”)
ASU 2009-13 requires the use of the relative selling price method when allocating revenue in these types of arrangements. This method allows a vendor to use its best estimate of selling price if neither vendor specific objective evidence nor third party evidence of selling price exists when evaluating multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update is effective January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The Company does not expect that this standard update will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2009-14, “Software (Topic 985) — Certain Revenue Arrangements That Include Software Elements (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)” (“ASU 2009-14”)
ASU 2009-14 requires tangible products that contain software and non-software elements that work together to deliver the products essential functionality to be evaluated under the accounting standard regarding multiple deliverable arrangements. This standard update is effective January 1, 2011 and may be adopted prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified after the date of adoption or retrospectively for all revenue arrangements for all periods presented. The Company does not expect that this standard update will have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
ASU No. 2010-11, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) — Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” (“ASU 2010-11”)
ASU 2010-11 clarifies that the only form of an embedded credit derivative that is exempt from embedded derivative bifurcation requirements are those that relate to the subordination of one financial instrument to another. As a result, entities that have contracts containing an embedded credit derivative feature in a form other than such subordination may need to separately account for the embedded credit derivative feature. The provisions of ASU 2010-11 will be effective on July 1, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2010-13, “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades.” (“ASU 2010-13”)
ASU 2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with an exercise price denominated in the currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in ASU 2010-13 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010 and are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements (Restated)
On December 9, 2010, the Company concluded that the Company’s previously issued unaudited financial statements as of and for the interim period ended March 31, 2010, contained errors in the application of certain generally accepted accounting principles. The Company has restated its previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended March 31, 2010, to properly account for the following:
·
|
Previously, the Company had concluded that embedded anti-dilution provisions included in certain convertible notes payable issued in May and October 2008 were indexed to the Company’s own stock under accounting principles that became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009, and did not change the accounting treatment for the embedded conversion features when the guidance became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. However, after re-evaluating the accounting principles issued and our accounting treatment for the embedded conversion features, the Company concluded that an error was made in the application of the accounting principles, that the embedded anti-dilution provisions are not indexed to the Company’s own stock, and, therefore, they are embedded derivative financial liabilities (the “Embedded Derivatives”) that require bifurcation and separate accounting. Accordingly, the Company should have recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of paid in capital and accumulated deficit on October 1, 2009. In addition, the Company is required to adjust the Embedded Derivatives to fair value at each balance sheet date, or interim period, and recognize the changes in fair value as a non-cash charge or benefit to earnings, recorded as a component of other income (expense) in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.
|
·
|
Previously, the Company included a change in the valuation allowance as an adjustment to the estimated annual tax rate used in the calculation of interim period deferred taxes, which allocated the tax benefits proportionately throughout the four quarters of fiscal year 2010. Based on a re-evaluation of generally accepted accounting principles, the Company recorded the effect of the change in the valuation allowance as a discrete event, which resulted in an additional $956,000 in tax benefits during the six months ended March 31, 2010.
|
·
|
In addition, certain reclassifications related to the accounting for deferred advertising costs and deferred income taxes have been made in order to maintain consistency and comparability with our subsequent presentations in fiscal year 2010 on Forms 10-Q and 10-K. The Company had reflected both a current and long term portion of the deferred advertising assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. In accordance with an SEC interpretation (SPCH.T.1995.22.Glynn), the SEC would object to the classification of any unamortized cost of advertising as a current asset. As a result, the Company reclassified the amount previously recorded as current assets to non-current assets. Also, the Company had reported its non-current deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. The Company has consolidated the non-current portion of the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities and reported the non-current portion of the deferred taxes as a consolidated deferred tax liability in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements (Restated)
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1
|
–
|
Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.
|
Level 2
|
–
|
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date.
|
Level 3
|
–
|
Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.

Note 6 — Stockholder Loan
The stockholder loans at March 31, 2010, and September 30, 2009, in the amounts of $1,315,000 and $1,515,000, respectively, consist of various 8% and 11% notes payable to the President and principal stockholder of the Company, Mark Libratore.

Note 7 — Credit Line Facility
13
On September 4, 2009, the Company entered into a one-year Business Loan Agreement, Promissory Note and Assignment of Deposit (collectively, the “Credit Line Facility”) with a lender. Pursuant to the Credit Line Facility, the lender agreed to advance the Company a maximum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) secured by the Company’s $500,000 certificate of deposit held by the lender. Interest is payable on any advance under the Credit Line Facility at a rate of 1.000 percentage point under the corporate loan base rate index published by the Wall Street Journal, with a minimum interest rate of 4.750% per annum.
On November 2, 2009, the Company entered into a revised Credit Line Facility with the same lender discussed above. Under the revised loan agreement, the lender agreed to advance the Company a maximum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) secured by the Company’s existing $500,000 certificate of deposit held by the lender plus an additional $550,000 certificate of deposit to be held by the lender. The revised Credit Line Facility expires on September 8, 2010. All other terms of the September 4, 2009 Credit Line Facility remain unchanged.
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had an outstanding balance of $750,000 under the Credit Line Facility. Interest expense related to the credit line for the six months ended March 31, 2010, was $11,000.
Note 8 — Convertible Notes Payable (Restated)
April 2008 Convertible Notes
On April 11, 2008, the Company closed a private placement consisting of convertible notes and warrants for $804,000, of which $598,000 were cash proceeds and $206,000 were prior year debt exchanged for the convertible notes. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.50 per share, subject to adjustment, and mature one year after issuance. The notes are senior unsecured obligations of our Company and accrue interest at an annual rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum, payable at maturity. The warrants have a term of five years and are exercisable from the date of their issuance until their expiration at a price of $1.00 per share. In addition, we issued a warrant to the placement agent exercisable for up to 51,000 shares of our common stock on terms substantially similar to the warrant issued in connection with the note described above. As of March 31, 2010, $653,000 of the notes has been converted into 1,306,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and $93,000 of the notes has been redeemed for cash. During fiscal year 2009, the maturity dates for the remaining $58,000 of notes were extended for one year from the original date of maturity. The maturity dates and amounts for the outstanding notes as of March 31, 2010, are as follows (in thousands):

Interest expense related to the April 2008 convertible notes was $22,000 and $46,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
May 2008 Convertible Note
On May 22, 2008, the Company closed a private placement consisting of a convertible note and a warrant for gross proceeds of $3,500,000. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment, and matures on May 22, 2010. The note is a senior unsecured obligation of ours and accrues interest at the rate of 3% per annum, paid semi-annually on each November 15 and May 15. The note is unconditionally guaranteed by Liberator Medical Supply and Liberator Health and Education Services, Inc. The conversion price of the note will be reduced if, among other things, we issue shares of common stock or securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible for or into shares of common stock (“common stock equivalents”) at a price per share less than both the conversion price then in effect and $0.75, subject to certain exclusions. The Company has concluded that the adjustment feature for the conversion price of the note is not indexed to the Company’s own stock and, therefore, is an embedded derivative financial liability that requires bifurcation and separate accounting. The warrants have a term of 5 years and are exercisable for up to 4,375,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share. The exercise price of the warrants will be reduced if, among other things, we issue shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than both the exercise price then in effect and the closing sale price of our common stock for any of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding such issuance, subject to certain exclusions. The Company has concluded that the adjustment feature for the exercise price of the warrants is indexed to the Company’s own stock, and, accordingly, has classified the warrants as equity instruments. In addition, we issued a warrant to the placement agent exercisable for up to 350,000 shares of our common stock on terms substantially similar to the warrant issued in connection with the note described above.
14
As a result of the cumulative effect adjustment recorded for the Embedded Derivatives, described above in Note 3, the net discounts on the May 2008 note increased by $201,000. Due to the increased discounts on the note, an additional $157,000 was recorded as non-cash interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010.
Interest expense related to the May 2008 convertible note was $437,000 and $281,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
October 2008 Convertible Note
On October 17, 2008, the Company closed a private placement consisting of a convertible note and a warrant for gross proceeds of $2,500,000. The note is convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.75 per share, subject to adjustment, and matures on October 17, 2010. The note is a senior unsecured obligation of ours and accrues interest at the rate of 3% per annum, paid semi-annually on each October 15 and April 15. The note is unconditionally guaranteed by Liberator Medical Supply and Liberator Health and Education Services, Inc. The conversion price of the note will be reduced if, among other things, we issue shares of common stock or securities exercisable, exchangeable or convertible for or into shares of common stock (“common stock equivalents”) at a price per share less than both the conversion price then in effect and $0.75, subject to certain exclusions. The Company has concluded that the adjustment feature for the conversion price of the note is not indexed to the Company’s own stock and, therefore, is an embedded derivative financial liability that requires bifurcation and separate accounting. The warrants have a term of 3 years and are exercisable for up to 1,166,667 shares of our common stock at an exercise price $1.25 per share. The exercise price of the warrants will be reduced if, among other things, we issue shares of our common stock or common stock equivalents at a price per share less than both the exercise price then in effect and the closing sale price of our common stock for any of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding such issuance, subject to certain exclusions. The Company has concluded that the adjustment feature for the exercise price of the warrants is indexed to the Company’s own stock, and, accordingly, has classified the warrants as equity instruments. In addition, we issued a warrant to the placement agent exercisable for up to 266,667 shares of our common stock on terms substantially similar to the warrants issued in connection with the note described above.
As a result of the cumulative effect adjustment recorded for the Embedded Derivatives, described above in Note 3, the net discounts on the October 2008 note increased by $395,000. Due to the increased discounts on the note, an additional $190,000 was recorded as non-cash interest expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010.
Interest expense related to the October 2008 convertible note was $276,000 and $73,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In October 2009, the Company entered into a Waiver Agreement with the holder of the October 2008 convertible note discussed above. As part of the Waiver Agreement, the note holder agreed to accept 18,101 shares of the Company’s common stock, with a fair market value of $45,000, in lieu of the Company’s obligation to pay cash in the amount of $38,000 for an interest payments that was due October 15, 2009, under the original terms of the note. As a result of this transaction, the Company incurred an additional $7,000 of interest expense that would not have been incurred if the Company had paid the interest due in cash. The rights and obligations of the note holder and the Company with respect to any future interest payments and the other terms of the note are in all other respects unchanged.

NOTE 9 — Derivative Liabilities (Restated)
The May 2008 and October 2008 convertible notes, discussed above in Note 8, contain embedded adjustment features whereby the conversion price will be adjusted if the Company issues additional shares of common stock or securities exercisable, exchangeable, or convertible into shares of common stock at a price per share less than both the conversion price then in effect and $0.75. Based on accounting principles, discussed above in Note 2, that became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009, the embedded adjustment features are not indexed to the Company’s own stock and, therefore, are embedded derivative financial liabilities (the “Embedded Derivatives”) that require bifurcation and separate accounting. Accordingly, the Company recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of paid in capital and accumulated deficit on October 1, 2009. The cumulative effect adjustment is the difference between the amounts recognized in the balance sheet for the conversion options of the notes payable before initial application of ASC 815-40-15 and the fair values of the Embedded Derivatives at initial application of ASC 815-40-15 on October 1, 2009. Subsequently, the Company adjusted the Embedded Derivatives to fair value at each interim period and recognized the changes in fair value as a charge or a benefit to earnings included in the Other Income (Expense) section of the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

When the convertible notes were originally issued in May 2008 and October 2008, beneficial conversion features of $390,000 were recorded to additional paid-in capital. As a result of reclassifying the embedded conversion features from equity to liabilities, the cumulative effect of the adjustment was a reduction of additional paid-in capital of $390,000.
The fair values of the Embedded Derivatives at the issuance dates (May 2008 and October 2008) of the convertible notes were $1,771,000. The increase in the convertible note discounts of $1,381,000 less the accretion of an additional $785,000 in discounts to the convertible notes resulting from the bifurcation of the Embedded Derivatives was booked as a reduction of $596,000 to the Convertible Notes Payable as of October 1, 2009. The fair values at the issuance dates were calculated using a simulation model with the following assumptions:

2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) became effective June 10, 2009, the effective date of the registration statement filed on Form S-8 with the SEC. The ESPP provides a means by which employees of the Company are given an opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company through payroll deductions. The maximum number of shares to be offered under the ESPP is 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to changes authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. Shares are offered through consecutive offering periods with durations of approximately six (6) months, commencing on the first trading day on or after June 1st and November 30th of each year and terminating on the last trading day before the commencement of the next offering period. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP allows employees to designate up to 15% of their cash compensation to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value at the beginning of the offering period or the exercise date, which is the last trading day of the offering period. Employees who own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the Company’s common stock are not eligible to participate in the ESPP.
The first offering period of the ESPP commenced on June 10, 2009, and ended on November 30, 2009. The second offering period commenced on December 1, 2009, and will end on May 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, 161,781 shares of the Company’s common stock have been purchased through the ESPP, using $73,000 of proceeds received from employee payroll deductions. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company received $104,000 through payroll deductions under the ESPP.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the shares expected to be issued under the ESPP at the grant date, the beginning date of the offering period, and recognizes compensation expense ratably over the offering period. If an employee elects to increase their payroll withholdings during the offering period, the increase is treated as a modification to the original option granted under the ESPP. As a result of the modification, the incremental fair value, if any, associated with the modified award is recognized as compensation expense at the date of the modification. Compensation expense is recognized only for shares that vest under the ESPP. For the six months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recognized $89,000 of compensation expense related to the ESPP.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company files consolidated federal and state income tax returns.
The Company had a net income tax benefit for the six months ended March 31, 2010, of $1,012,000. The Company recognized $1,436,000 in tax benefits due to a change in the valuation allowance as of March 31, 2010. Although the Company had net operating loss carryforwards that completely offset regular taxable income, the Company incurred alternative minimum tax of $3,000 on its net alternative minimum taxable income. The Company also recorded a current federal income tax benefit of $32,000 to adjust for prior year income tax return. In addition, the Company incurred deferred tax expense of $453,000.
The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 23% and 0% for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of state income taxes, the reduction in valuation allowance, and certain of the Company’s expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes, primarily consisting of $5,157,000 of expense for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The effective tax rate for the six months ended March 31, 2009, reflects the utilization of net operating losses from previous years that were fully reserved by a valuation allowance at the time of utilization.

Note 15 — Subsequent Event (Restated)
On May 11, 2010, the Company issued 4,375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock upon conversion of the $3,500,000 convertible note due May 22, 2010, at a conversion price of $0.80 per share. The shares were issued on reliance from the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As a result of the note conversion, the Company’s current liabilities were reduced by $3,500,000 for the face value of the convertible note and $4,813,000 for the fair value of the embedded derivative as of the conversion date. In addition, $1,326,000 was recorded as a non-cash benefit to Other Income due to the decrease in fair value of the embedded derivative from March 31, 2010, to the conversion date of the note on May 11, 2010.

Overview
Liberator Medical Supply, Inc. (“LMS”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a federally licensed, direct-to-consumer, provider of Medicare Part B Benefits focused on providing medical supplies in a retail environment and via the Internet in the United States. LMS distributes a full range of medical products which address the healthcare needs of our customers.
We market our products directly to consumers primarily through targeted media and direct response television advertising. Our customer service representatives are specifically trained to communicate with Medicare-eligible beneficiaries. Our operating platforms enable us to collect and process required documents from physicians and customers, bill and collect amounts due from Medicare and/or other government agencies and/or third party payors and/or customers.
Executive Summary
The second quarter of our fiscal year is typically a challenging quarter for us each year due to the annual renewal of our customers’ insurance coverage, primarily Medicare Part B coverage, and calendar year deductibles that must be met by the majority of our customers at the beginning of each calendar year. In spite of these challenges, we were able to grow our sales by 66%, to $9.65 million, during the second quarter of 2010 compared with the second quarter of 2009, primarily as a result of new customers generated from our direct response advertising efforts. Consistent with last year’s seasonality, our quarterly customer retention rates during the second quarter dropped 7% lower than the other three quarters of the year.
Even though we have been able to significantly grow our sales over the last three fiscal years during the downturn of the U.S. economy, we have experienced increased costs associated with our direct response advertising efforts over the first six months of fiscal year 2010 compared with the first six months of fiscal year 2009. Based on information we are receiving from our media buying agents, we believe that due to the economic conditions, the larger “branded” type companies have turned to direct response television advertising to market their products and reduce their advertising costs. As a result, demand for television time slots within the direct response advertising market has increased dramatically over the last six months to a year, causing a decrease in available inventory. Our media buying agents believe that this trend has peaked and advertising opportunities will improve over the next several quarters. In April 2010, we experienced an increase in available time slots and a reduction in our advertising costs associated with these time slots. We will continue to invest in direct response television advertising campaigns for our products in order to grow our business while continuing to closely monitor the success rates of these television campaigns.
During the first and second quarters of fiscal year 2010, we increased our spending in alternative media and plan to continue those efforts. We are highly optimistic by the results we are seeing within the alternative media channels and confident that significant gains can be made and that we can lower customer acquisition costs through these new channels.
25
In January 2010, we completed the build out of an additional 24,000 square foot facility to house our expanding workforce and provide the infrastructure necessary to support future growth of our business. The continuous growth of our recurring business requires regular increases in staff. We have chosen to invest in recruiting, hiring, and training additional staff ahead of our advertising schedule, which helps us achieve compliance on many fronts and maintain the quality of our customer service. During the first six months of fiscal year 2010, we added eighty-one employees. Of these additional employees, we added several key management positions to focus on new product opportunities, increased sales within our existing product lines, additional distribution channels within the insurance industry, and improved productivity within our operations, lead management, and accounting groups.
Our biggest asset and resource is our employees. In an effort to recognize their considerable contributions to our growth and reduce attrition, effective December 2009 we modified our employee benefits plan to cover 100% of the employees’ portion of their health insurance plan. This provides every one of our employees an opportunity to obtain health insurance at no cost to them. As a result of this change, we experienced an increase in health insurance costs during the second quarter due to increased enrollment and the higher portion of the premiums paid for by us. Although this change temporarily reduced earnings, we expect the increased health insurance costs to be offset by improved employee turnover rates, improved customer service, reduced training costs, and improved efficiency. This decision to improve employee benefits is consistent with our mission to attract and retain talented, highly skilled employees with entrepreneurial spirit.
In March 2010, we completed the sale of 4,666,667 shares of our common stock to a single institutional investor for gross proceeds of $7.0 million. As a result of the proceeds from this private placement and the investments we have made in our infrastructure and employees, we believe we are well positioned to grow our business in the future.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010, were $5,904,000, or 61.2% of sales, compared with $3,387,000, or 58.1% of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Operating expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2010, were $10,654,000, or 56.6% of sales, compared with $6,378,000, or 57.1% of sales, for the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increases in operating expenses are primarily attributed to increased spending levels for additional employees, advertising costs, rent, depreciation and other administration costs to support our current and future sales growth.

Other income (expense) is predominantly non-cash charges associated with the amortization of discounts on our convertible debt, recorded as interest expense, and non-cash charges associated with the change in fair value of derivative liabilities embedded within our convertible debt. Non-cash charges to other income (expense) for the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, totaled $5,773,000 and $322,000.
Interest expense increased by $273,000 to $818,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the six months ended March 31, 2009. As a result of accounting guidance that became effective for us on October 1, 2009, we are required to bifurcate and separately account for embedded anti-dilution provisions contained in certain convertible notes issued in May and October 2008 as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, on October 1, 2009, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment that increased the value of the discounts on our convertible debt issued in May and October 2008, which resulted in an additional $347,000 of non-cash interest expense for the six months, ended March 31, 2010.
27
In addition to the cumulative effect adjustment recorded on October 1, 2009, we are required to adjust the embedded derivative liabilities to fair value at each balance sheet date, or interim period, and recognize the changes in fair value as a non-cash charge or benefit to earnings. The changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities at each interim period are very sensitive to changes in the market price for our common stock. When the market price of our common stock increases, the fair value of the embedded derivatives increases, resulting in additional non-cash charges to our earnings. Conversely, when the market price for our common stock declines, the fair value of the embedded derivatives decreases, resulting in non-cash benefits to our earnings. The following table illustrates the changes in the market price of our common stock and the changes in fair value of the derivative liabilities recorded in fiscal year 2010 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

Income Taxes:
The benefit from income taxes was $1,012,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010. The effective tax rate was approximately 23% of the loss before income taxes of $4,449,000, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to the effect of state income taxes, a $1,436,000 decrease to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets that management has determined will, more likely than not, be utilized, and certain of the Company’s expenses that are not deductible for income tax purposes, primarily consisting of $5,157,000 of expense for the change in fair value of derivative liabilities.
For the six months ended March 31, 2009, the effective tax rate was 0% of the income before income taxes of $341,000, which reflects the utilization of net operating losses from previous years that were fully reserved by a valuation allowance at the time of utilization.

The Company had cash of $7,961,000 at March 31, 2010, compared to cash of $3,798,000 at September 30, 2009, an increase of $4,163,000. The increase in cash for the six months ended March 31, 2010, is primarily attributed to the sale of common stock to a single institutional investor in March 2010 for gross proceeds of $7 million, borrowings from our credit line facility, and proceeds from the exercise of warrants, partially offset by our direct response advertising costs, the build out of our new 24,000 square foot facility during the quarter, and an increase in the level of outstanding accounts receivable.
28
The current liabilities as of March 31, 2010, consist of outstanding convertible notes payable totaling $6,037,000. These convertible notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at conversion prices that are less than the current market price of our common stock. During April and May 2010, $3,558,000 of the outstanding notes convertible as of March 31, 2010, were converted into shares of our common stock. In addition, as of March 31, 2010, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 2.4 million shares of our common stock at an average exercise price of $1.00 that expire during fiscal year 2010. We have received telephone inquiries from several of the warrant holders over the last few months and expect a majority of these warrant holders to exercise these “in-the-money” warrants before expiration.
There can be no assurance, of course, as to the amount or timing of the conversions of the remaining notes payable and/or the proceeds from the exercise of the outstanding warrants. However, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from the collection of accounts receivable and the sale of products, will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements during the next twelve months.
Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities increased to $1,821,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to net cash used in operating activities of $82,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is primarily the result of increased levels of direct response advertising costs, accounts receivable and inventory, partially offset by increases in non-cash related expenses and accounts payable.
Investing Activities
During the six months ended March 31, 2010, we purchased $1,217,000 of property and equipment primarily related to the build out of our new 24,000 square foot facility, which we moved into in January 2010. In addition, we purchased a $550,000 certificate of deposit as additional security for a $1,000,000 credit line facility, see Note 7 of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The certificate matures in September 2010 and bears interest at a rate of 1.242% per year.
Financing Activities
During the six months ended March 31, 2010, cash provided by financing activities was $7,752,000, which included net proceeds of $6,618,000 from the sale of common stock to a single institutional investor, borrowings of $750,000 from our credit line facility, $530,000 of proceeds from the exercise of warrants, and $104,000 of proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan, partially offset by payments of $241,000 to pay down a portion of our outstanding debt and capital lease obligations.
During the six months ended March 31, 2009, cash provided by financing activities was $2,078,000, which was the result of a $2,500,000 convertible debt offering in October 2008, partially offset by $326,000 of debt issuance costs associated with the debt offering.
Outlook
The Company has experienced substantial growth over the past three years. We have built an infrastructure and implemented a business model that is capable of generating a substantially higher sales volume at reduced levels of incremental costs. In an effort to continue our growth, we have continued to invest in direct response advertising efforts to attract new customers, and we have expanded our infrastructure and work force to service our new and existing customers. The outlook for demand for our products is favorable, as there should be an increase in newly-diagnosed patients requiring the medical supplies that we provide. We expect our revenues to continue to increase due to our advertising and marketing programs and the retention of our existing customer base. The Company does not anticipate any major changes in Medicare reimbursement in 2010, nor in any other reimbursement programs available from other third-party payors.
29
Our plan for the next twelve months includes the following:
|
•
|
Continue our advertising and marketing efforts;
|
|
•
|
Increase our customer base;
|
|
•
|
Continue to service our current customer base and increase the retention rate;
|
|
•
|
Continue to invest in the expansion of our infrastructure and workforce; and
|
|
•

Critical Accounting Policies
See “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and our current annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, for discussion of significant accounting policies, recent accounting pronouncements and their effect, if any, on the Company.
Effect of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition during the past two years.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
We have not entered into any hedging agreements or swap agreements. Our principal market risk is the risk related to our customers and Medicare.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of March 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to material weaknesses identified in the Company's internal control over financial reporting described below.
Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company's annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As a result of the restatement of our financial statements for the interim periods ending December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, and June 30, 2010, our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer re-assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2010. Based on that assessment, management identified the following material weaknesses:
31
|
·
|
Assess and Identify the Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: The Company’s procedures to assess and identify the impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements were not sufficient, as evidenced by the Company’s failure to timely identify the impact of ASC 815-40-15, “Derivatives and Hedging — Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Scope and Scope Exceptions),“which became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. The Company did not become aware of the new guidance until June 2010, and the impacts of the accounting guidance were not properly identified by the Company until December 2010. As a result, the Company determined that the previously issued interim financial statements for fiscal year 2010 should no longer be relied upon, which resulted in the restatement of the interim financial statements for the interim periods ending December 31, 2009, and March 31, 2010. The Company plans to file restated interim financial statements for the interim period ending June 30, 2010.
|
|
·
|
Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments: Management has identified a material weakness related to accounting for embedded derivatives included in certain convertible notes payable that were outstanding when ASC 815-40-15 became effective for the Company on October 1, 2009. When the Company first assessed the impacts of ASC 815-40-15, management erred in its conclusion that certain embedded derivatives met the scope exceptions of ASC 815-40-15 and did not require adjustments to its accounting. The Company lacked a technical review process which might have enabled the Company to identify the error and prevent a misstatement of the Company’s interim financial statements.
|
|
·
|
Accounting for Direct-Response Advertising Costs: Management has identified a material weakness related to the classification and measurement of our capitalized direct-response advertising costs due to the following:
|
|
-
|
The Company had not previously defined what constituted a “separate stand-alone cost pool” as defined by ASC 340-20-35-1.
|
|
-
|
The amortization of capitalized direct-response advertising costs was not calculated by taking the ratio of current period revenues over the total period revenues associated with each cost pool as required by ASC 340-20-35-3.
|
|
-
|
Prior to September 30, 2010, the Company had reflected both a current and long term portion of the assets on the consolidated balance sheet. In accordance with an SEC interpretation (SPCH.T.1995.22.Glynn), the SEC would object to the classification of any unamortized cost of advertising as a current asset. This resulted in the Company reclassifying the fiscal year 2009 comparative balance to conform to the current fiscal year classification.
|
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, management completed the above analysis as required, including defining a separate stand-alone cost pool. In addition, management determined that no restatements of prior period financial statements were required as a result of the above analysis.
|
·
|
Documentation of Accounting Review and Approval Process: In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2010, our independent registered accounting firm reported to our Board of Directors that they observed inadequate documented review and approval of certain aspects of the accounting process including the documented review of accounting reconciliations and journal entries that they considered to be a material weakness in internal control. After a review of our current review and approval of certain aspects of the accounting process, management concluded that the inadequate documented review and approval process represented a material weakness.
|
During the six months ended March 31, 2010, there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such internal controls over financial reporting.
Remediation of Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
32
In order to remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, the Company is in the process of finalizing a remediation plan, under the direction of the Company’s Audit Committee, and intends to implement improvements during the fiscal year 2011 as follows:
|
·
|
Subscribe to an outside service that provides the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Controller with timely guidance on Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements. In addition, the Company intends to supplement its current interim and annual financial reporting processes with documentation of the Controller’s and Chief Financial Officer’s review and assessment of the timing and impacts, if any, that the new accounting pronouncements will have on the Company’s financial statements; and
|
|
·
|
Engage outside experts, as needed, to provide counsel and guidance on non-routine technical accounting issues that can be associated with future financial instruments. The Company has determined that it is not economically feasible for the Company to maintain the required expertise internally due to the limited number of complex transactions that the Company may undertake and the current size of the Company. As the Company continues to grow, management will continually re-assess its staffing levels, particularly within the accounting and finance areas, required to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting.
|
|
·
|
Document all significant accounting policies and ensure that the accounting policies are in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and that internal controls are designed effectively to ensure that the financial information is properly reported. Management will engage independent accounting specialists to ensure that there is an independent verification of the accounting positions taken.
|
|
·
|
In connection with the reported inadequate documented review and approval of certain aspects of the accounting process, management has plans to review the current review and approval processes and implement changes to ensure that all accounting reconciliations and journal entries are reviewed and approved on a timely basis and that this review is documented by a member of management separate from the preparer.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
|
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are party to certain legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course and are incidental to our business. There are currently no such pending proceedings to which we are a party that our management believes will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
The Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition are subject to various risks. Please refer to the “Risks Factors” section in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, for a discussion of risks to which our business, results of operations and financial condition are subject. There have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On March 9, 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company issued and sold to a single institutional investor (the “Investor”) an aggregate of 4,666,667 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.001 per share, in a private placement at a price of $1.50 per share, resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of $7.0 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has provided the Investor certain demand registration rights covering the resale of all of the shares issued in the private placement, as well as piggy-back registration rights in certain circumstances. The securities were issued in reliance upon the exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provided by Regulation D and Section 4(2). The securities were issued directly by the Company and did not involve a public offering or general solicitation. The Investor in the private placement is an “Accredited Investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. <Removed and Reserved>
Item 5. Other Information
Conversion of May 22, 2008, Convertible Notes
On May 22, 2008, the Company closed a private placement consisting of convertible notes and warrants for gross proceeds of $3,500,000 to a single institutional investor pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated as of May 22, 2008. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price of $0.80 per share, subject to adjustment, and mature on May 22, 2010. The warrants have a term of 5 years and are exercisable for up to 4,375,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share, subject to adjustment.
On May 11, 2010, the Company received a notice of conversion from the holder for the entire $3,500,000 principal amount of the notes, together with a notice of increase delivered pursuant to the note provision limiting the holder’s conversion right to that number of common shares which, together with any other common shares beneficially owned by the holder, would exceed 9.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion (the “Maximum Percentage”). Concurrently with the receipt of the holder’s notice of conversion and increase in the Maximum Percentage, the Company agreed to waive the note provision that any increase or decrease in the Maximum Percentage is effective commencing on the 61st day after the notice is delivered to the Company, so that the holder’s increase in the Maximum Percentage was effective immediately upon its receipt by the Company. The 4,375,000 common shares issued upon conversion of the notes were issued on reliance from the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See Footnote 12 to Item 1, “Financial Statements.”
