PART I

ITEM 1 — BUSINESS

Overview

We specialize in the research, development, and manufacturing of oral care and cosmetic dentistry products.  We are one of the leading manufacturers of cosmetic dentistry products in Europe.  Leveraging our knowledge of regulatory requirements regarding dental products and management’s experience in the needs of the professional dental community, we design, develop, manufacture and distribute our cosmetic dentistry products, including a full line of professional dental products that are distributed in Europe, Asia and the United States.

In 2006 we developed a revolutionary system for manufacturing and installing dental veneers which we branded as GlamSmile® veneers revolutionize the traditional one-at-a-time method of applying porcelain dental veneers.  GlamSmile veneers are attached to the front of the patient’s teeth using a patent pending single motion placement tray which replaces the traditional one at a time trial and error method of applying porcelain veneers, making the application less traumatic for the patient, much easier for the dentist and perhaps most important, far less costly than traditional dental veneers. Currently, the GlamSmile veneers are our primary products in the professional oral care and cosmetic dentistry product.  Our veneers are supported by a line of professional veneer  whitening and teeth sensitivity solutions.  Our products are sold to professionals by distributors and sold directly to consumers by our GlamSmile Studios.

Corporate History

We were originally incorporated under the laws of Arizona in September 1996 under the name Remedent USA, Inc.  In October 1998, we were acquired by Resort World Enterprises, Inc., a Nevada corporation in a share exchange, and we immediately changed our name to Remedent USA, Inc. and later to Remedent, Inc.

In the latter part of 2008, our Board of Directors approved a strategic plan to separate our OTC business from our professional business, allowing us to focus on the development, marketing and distribution of our products for the professional dental market.  In December 2008, we completed a restructuring in the form of a management-led buyout of 50% of our OTC retail business (“2008 Restructuring”).  The buyout was led by Mr. Robin List, our former director and Chief Executive Officer, with financing provided by a non-affiliated foreign investment fund.  In connection with the strategic plan, we effected our OTC restructuring through a series of transactions involving subsidiary formations, contributions of subsidiary(ies) interests and sales of stock interests through subsidiary transactions.  As a result of the series of transactions related to the sale, Remedent N.V., a Belgium corporation and our wholly owned subsidiary,  currently owns 50% of  Remedent OTC BV, a Dutch company (“Remedent OTC”) with Mr. List owning the other 50%, and maintains control of Remedent OTC as a result of our current control of the board.  Remedent OTC owns and holds a 75% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding BV,  a Dutch holding company which owns and holds the OTC operating subsidiaries  (“Sylphar Holding”), together with Concordia Fund B.V. who owns 25% of Sylphar Holding.  As a result of Remedent N.V.’s  ownership interest in Remedent OTC holds an ownership interest equal to 37.5% interest in Sylphar Holding.   As a result of the sale, all of the OTC business previously directly operated by us is now operated and held by Sylphar Holding.  In addition, following the restructuring we have focused our business primarily on the marketing and distribution of our GlamSmile Veneers.

In January, 2010 we formed a joint venture with Gallant Network Limited (“Gallant”) to formalize our GlamSmile operations in China.   In order to sell our products into the Chinese market, an approval by Chinese authorities is required, in the form of licenses. Since GlamSmile Asia Ltd., a private Hong Kong company (“GlamSmile Asia”), was already the owner of such licenses prior to the acquisition, this was an important advantage.  We obtained control of GlamSmile Asia through the acquisition of a 50.98% interest in exchange for   (i) 325,000 Euro (US $466,725), of which 50,000 Euro was payable as of March 31, 2010, (ii) 250,000 shares of common stock was originally agreed to be issued during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and then subsequently amended to be issued during fiscal year ended March 31, 2012,  and (iii) option grants of up to 300,000 shares of our common stock, of which 200,000 shares were granted as of March 31, 2011, and through the appointment of our CEO as a Board member of GlamSmile Asia.

We have the following wholly owned subsidiaries:  (1) Remedent N.V., a Belgium corporation; (2) Remedent Professional Holdings, Inc., a California corporation; (3) Remedent Professional, Inc., a California corporation (a subsidiary of Remedent Professional Holdings, Inc.), and (4) Glamtech-USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation.  On  January 1, 2010, we acquired  a 50.98% of  Glamsmile Asia Ltd. a Hong Kong Private company which has the following subsidiaries: GlamSmile Studio in Hong Kong, GlamSmile Studio in Mainland China (Beijing) and the GlamSmile Production Lab, also located in China (Beijing).  In addition, Remedent N.V., our wholly-owned subsidiary,  has (A) a 51% ownership interest in GlamSmile Deutschland GmbH, a German private company, (B) a 50% ownership interest in Remedent OTC BV  (a Dutch company which  holds a 75% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding) and (C) a 37.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding (a Dutch holding company which wholly owns: Sylphar Holding: (i) Sylphar N.V., a Belgium corporation; (ii) Sylphar USA, Inc., a Nevada corporation; and (iii)  Sylphar Asia Pte Ltd. (formerly Remedent Asia Pte Ltd.),a Singapore company.

Past Product Development

We have been a manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic dentistry products, including a full line of professional dental and retail OTC tooth whitening products which are distributed in Europe, Asia and the United States.  We have distributed our products using both our own internal sales force and through the use of third party distributors.  Prior to our 2008 Restructuring, our products were generally classified into the following categories: professional dental products and OTC tooth whitening products. Our OTC division included products targeted for retail such as iWhite, Cleverwhite and Remesense.  However as a result of the 2008 Restructuring and sale, all of our prior OTC operations, including the marketing and distribution of the OTC products are being conducted by Sylphar Holding and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  We developed the following products for our professional dental segment:

 
2

 

 
·
Remewhite in Office Whitening System. One of our first dental products that we developed for the professional dental community was the RemeCure™ plasma curing light (described below).  Leveraging on our early success with the RemeCure light, we introduced the RemeWhite™ In Office Whitening System.  Based upon the initial RemeCure light, a new light, called the RemeCure CL-15, was developed featuring new enhancements to the hardware and software enabling this light to be fully automated thereby eliminating the need for the dentist to hold the light during whitening treatments.  In addition, a proprietary gel was formulated to be used with the system as well as a time saving method to apply the gel.

 
·
Remewhite Home Maintenance Kit.  In 2004, the RemeWhite Home Maintenance Kit was introduced and sold by dentists to their patients, featuring 16 pre-filled trays with a level of whitening agent safe for home use yet stronger than most OTC products.

 
·
Metatray.  In August 2005, we introduced MetaTray®, our next generation of products targeted for the professional dentist market.  The MetaTray kit consists of a proprietary, reusable mouthpiece that has embedded in the mouthpiece both a heating element and an electroluminescent mesh that are powered by a rechargeable 9 volt power source providing heat and light similar to that which is delivered to the teeth by conventional dental lights. The system also introduced a proprietary foam strip that is unique in the manner in which it releases peroxide to the tooth surface without dripping or running.

 
·
RemeCure. The RemeCure plasma curing light uses plasma arc technology instead of LED  and laser technology which provides high-energy power over the complete spectrum.

 
·
FirstFit.  We developed the FirstFit™ System, a proprietary, patent-pending system for the creation and placement of dental bridges and crowns.   Effective as of  March 29, 2010 the intellectual property used and related to FirstFit product was sold to Den-Mat Holdings LLC (“Den-Mat”).

Current Business Strategy

Our current business  strategy is to focus our resources on vertically integrating our development, manufacturing and marketing resources on selling our GlamSmile veneers directly to consumers by using all forms of direct response media including the internet, print, radio, television and social network media, to expand our presence in Asia,  with a primary focus on China, and Europe, as well as to establish a direct to consumer presence in United States.

Current Products

We currently have two primary products: GlamSmile Veneers and Whitening Products.

Whitening Products

We sell our whitening products directly throughout the world.  We continue to focus our sales efforts on our whitening products.

We initially started in the whitening business, by developing and marketing whitening products in combination with the worldwide appreciated high speed curing lamp RemeCure. The RemeCure plasma curing light uses plasma arc technology instead of LED and laser technology which provides high-energy power over the complete spectrum.  This allows RemeCure plasma curing light to be used in various applications such as: (1) curing dental composite materials in only seconds; and (2) for single appointment, in-office whitening in less than forty minutes.

 
·
Remewhite Formulation+ by GlamSmile.   Formulation+ was the first available in-office power whitening gel featuring Remedent’s proprietary CRM-Technology. The Continuous Release Matrix assures a prolonged and continuous release of Hydrogen Peroxide throughout the entire session, thus improving the exposure time of the whitening agent to the enamel. Still today Formulation+ for in-office use by dentists is one of the top products giving consumers whitening results up to 10 shades whiter without sensitivity.

 
·
WHITE Boost & WHITE Finishing. Other than Formulation+, Remedent created and sells the White Boost & White Finishing   through dentists for home use. It is an oxygen-induced whitening system using a revolutionary and comfortable tray and 2 thin, flexible foam strips impregnated with super tooth whitening gel. The foam strips’ unique formula guarantees a steady release of oxygen that first triggers and then speeds up the whitening process. Our ergonomic delivery tray means ease-of-use and superb whitening results in just 10 minutes.

GlamSmile Veneers

In connection with the 2008 Restructuring, we shifted our focus to professional products targeted for the professional sector. Our key product in the professional oral care and cosmetic dentistry product is the GlamSmile veneer.

In 2006 we developed a revolutionary system for manufacturing and installing dental veneers which we branded as GlamSmile. GlamSmile veneers revolutionize the traditional one-at-a-time method of applying porcelain dental veneers.  GlamSmile veneers are attached to the front of the patient’s teeth using a patent pending single motion placement tray which replaces the traditional one at a time trial and error method of applying porcelain veneers, making the application less traumatic for the patient, much easier for the dentist and perhaps most important, far less costly than traditional dental veneers. The entire process is painless and takes only about an hour of the patient’s and the dentist’s time. GlamSmile veneers are so thin that the dentist does not need to remove healthy tooth structure which results in a process that is reversible.

In the fall of 2006, we opened our initial GlamSmile Lab in Ghent. Since 2006, we have refined and improved the GlamSmile product through internally developed improvements and licensed technologies making them even easier to install by the dentist, more tailored to each patients physical characteristics, less costly to manufacture by developing manufacturing capabilities in China and faster manufacturing turnaround resulting in higher patient satisfaction.  After initial testing of the GlamSmile product, in June 2008, we entered into an OEM Agreement with SensAble Technologies, Inc, a leading provider of 3D touch-enabled modeling and dental CAD/CAM solutions, to integrate SensAble technology into our GlamSmile system. The agreement with SensAble is exclusive with regard to dental veneers for a period of two years. The technology provided by SensAble replaces the creation of hand-crafted wax models previously required in designing GlamSmile veneers for patients.

Our GlamSmile involves a proprietary veneer fabrication technique and a patented single-motion veneer placement tray which are both guided by a proprietary computer imaging, design and digital preview system. The unique tray delivery system lets dentists expertly seat 10 ultra-thin, custom veneers in less than an hour while preserving tooth structure. All the features of GlamSmile, together with the CAD/CAM technology, digital preview for dentists to evaluate the design and a unique full arch tray delivery system used in conjunction with minimally or no preparation ultra thin veneers, have revolutionized the art of veneering.

Our GlamSmile veneers are ultra thin claddings made from a mixture of a hybrid composite and porcelain materials which are attached to the front of the patient’s teeth.  GlamSmile veneers are ultra-thin and can best be compared to contact lenses in terms of thickness. Because GlamSmile veneers are so thin, the dentist does not need to remove healthy tooth structure,  Leaving the patient’s healthy tooth structure intact results in several important benefits:

 
no local anesthesia is required to prepare the teeth;

 
reduced (if any) tooth sensitivity post-procedure; and

 
the process is reversible.

Our veneers are custom-made for each individual’s personal features, taking into account numerous factors including the shape of a person’s face, the shape of their lips and more. At the initial doctor visit, an impression is made of the patient’s teeth.  During the second visit, the hybrid composite veneers, which are computer generated as a single unit, are then ready to be installed.  The single-unit feature enables dentists with minimal training to apply up to ten teeth in one 30 – 45 minute visit.  This minimizes the risk of failure and allows more dentists to offer GlamSmile veneers as part of their dental practice. With traditional bonding, a dentist adheres a composite material directly on the tooth which lasts about 3 to 6 years and tends to discolor.  Porcelain veneers, though a more lasting solution (ten years or more), require a significantly more invasive procedure to install, which is irreversible, requires a very high level of training and skill from the dentist and can cost from $700 to $2,000 per tooth.

The entire production process currently takes place at our own GlamSmile lab in China. The production process uses a high-tech CAD/CAM technology which we have developed in conjunction with SensAble Technologies as discussed above. This technology enables ultimate precision so that the shape, thickness and length of each individual veneer is unique. Upon completion, the customized GlamSmile veneers are shipped to the dentist via overnight couriers. In our continuing effort to improve our product and processes and in response to feedback from our dentists, we have recently developed a new tray system that allows for better visibility of the finished veneers prior to their application as well as easier handling by the dentist. This second generation patent pending  tray will further reduce the chair time required for each application and broaden appeal within the dental community. Also currently in development, is a new technology using a fully digital milling machine that will be capable of fabricating our veneers on site at our GlamSmile centers. This technology in conjunction with current technologies developed with SensAble will enable images to be captured one day, electronically transmitted to our lab in China for final design, and transmitted back to the onsite milling machine for next day application by our dentist to the patient. During fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, efforts and important advances were made towards integrating the milling machine hardware onto the SensAble software. The needed protocols, are in a final testing phase and we expect them to become fully operational within the next fiscal year.

Marketing and Distribution

We market our products to the dental professional using our business to business strategies (“B2B”), and we also market our products directly to the consumers in Asia, Europe and the Middle East  using our direct to consumer model (“B2C”).  Our products are sold to dental professionals in 18 countries through distributors.  In addition, pursuant to our distribution agreement with Den-Mat, the GlamSmile product is also sold in the United States and throughout the world with the exception of certain excluded territories as further described under “B2C Market and Distribution-Distribution Agreements.”  We currently sell our products in Asia, Europe and the Middle East  directly to consumers using our direct to consumer model, which includes our GlamSmile Smile Design-Virtual Studio, and GlamSmile Studios.

B2C Market and Distribution

In 2008 we opened, through a third party, our first GlamSmile center in Beijing China, marketing GlamSmile directly to consumers.  In 2009 we began direct to consumer tests in Belgium using internet advertising to acquire potential leads and our own dedicated “Smile Consultants” to manage the sales process from lead acquisition through final sale with successful results. Our direct to consumer model, has been developed around a one to one relationship with our Smile Consultants. This process also results in the dentists being relieved of the sales responsibilities allowing them to better focus on patient satisfaction. In both China and Belgium, with the aid of our own “Smile Consultant” working direct with the customer throughout the entire sales process, we have seen positive results in our partner retail centers.

Our Smile Consultancy Program is predominantly marketed on the internet through our website, GlamSmile Smile Design.  We focus on intensive campaign and advertisement aimed to generate large traffic to our website that promotes GlamSmile Whitening, Veneers and Free Smile Advice. Visitors can apply for a free personalized Smile Consultation by a Smile Consultant. The latter guides the consumer to the right GlamSmile Studio or with one of our GlamSmile partner dentists and to the solution that meets best his or her Smile expectations.  The Smile Consultancy Program requires us to develop close partnerships with dedicated GlamSmile dentists and the establishment of GlamSmile Studios. The GlamSmile Studio is a concept studio with a focus on aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry. Unlike a traditional dentist office, our GlamSmile Studio are designed and managed as a dental spa.

We have begun to market our products through our Smile Consultancy Concept and through the establishment of our GlamSmile Studios in Asia, with a primary focus on China, and Europe.   We currently have an ownership interest in the following Glamsmile Studios:

 
·
Beijing Glamsmile Studio. Through Glamsmile Asia Ltd. and its subsidiaries we opened a GlamSmile clinic in Beijing, China, during the third calendar quarter of 2009.  The Beijing GlamSmile clinic was the first dental spa to offer pain free cosmetic dentistry in Beijing.

 
·
Hong Kong Dental Spa.  In April 2010, through GlamSmile Asia Ltd. we expanded our business to consumer model in the Asian market by opening a dental spa  in Hong Kong.

 
·
Munich, Germany Glamsmile Studio.  In October 2010, through GlamSmile Deutschland GmbH a studio in Munich, Germany was opened.

 
·
Shanghai Studio.  In February 2011, we opened the Shanghai Studio through  GlamSmile Asia Ltd.

We intend to continue to look for opportunities to expand the number of GlamSmile Studios in China and Europe and to enter the United States market.

Cosmetic Dentistry Industry

The cosmetic dental industry has expanded into a multi-billion industry as a result of increased awareness of the importance of oral health, high aesthetics, improved dental treatments, and reduced patient discomfort.  An increasingly aging population and rising disposable income have also positively impacted the growth of cosmetic dentistry. Demand for dental products and services are forecasted to remain healthy due to growing incidences of cosmetic treatments and dental implants.  According to a  report published by Koncepts Analytics, the dental industry worldwide was estimated at about $18.8 billion in 2008, dominated by the US, Europe and Japan, which collectively accounted for more than 84% of the global revenue in 2007. The United States Dental Market was nearly $7.6 billion in 2007, projected to grow to almost $8 billion in 2008 and nearly $10 billion by 2013, representing a compound annual growth rate of 4.7%. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry estimates that Americans spend about $2.75 billion each year on cosmetic dentistry. The growth of this market is expected to be highest in the United States and EU where the generation of aging baby boomers can afford these quality but expensive dental procedures. Also expected to be a catalyst for the growth and popularity of cosmetic treatments and implants is the younger generation. Further, emerging technologies will reduce the overall turnaround time for dental procedures while improving efficiency of the dental practitioners. For example, introduction of CAD/CAM has reduced designing time and 3D imaging techniques have improved patient diagnosis and procedure planning. Changing consumer needs and a shift towards cosmetic dentistry will drive the market for high end dental solutions.

In China and other parts of Asia there has been a rapid growth in living standards. China’s young, emerging middle class is beginning to equate accumulation of possessions and leisure opportunities with quality of life. An estimated 415,000 Chinese had more than $1 million in disposable assets in 2007, more than any other country, according to the Merrill-Lynch Asia-Pacific Wealth Report. Up to 170 million people, or 13% of the population, can afford luxury brands and the number will reach 250 million next year, according to the China Association of Branding Strategy. These regions have a huge potential for growth in cosmetic dentistry due to low market penetration. Consequently, these countries are exhibiting high demand for modern and sophisticated technology and equipment in the dental market. Overall demand for dental products in China is expected to climb to 11% annually through 2012. In a report published by Millennium Research Group with regard to Chinese markets for Dental Implants, a similar target market as that for our GlamSmile products, finds that this emerging market is growing quickly at a compound annual growth rate of more than 35%. A strong driver of this growth is the deregulation of dental services in China. Dental services in China are generally provided in government-managed facilities; however, ongoing deregulation of dental services is resulting in the emergence of an increased number of private dental practices and increasing accessibility to dental services. Another major driver in the Chinese market is the frequency of teeth stained by Tetracycline. For decades, Tetracycline was one of the most prescribed antibiotics in China causing many individuals to suffer from stained teeth. Excessive use of fluoride in drinking water causes a similar problem. When tetracycline exposure occurs while teeth are forming, it creates a permanent gray or brown stain, causing either uniform discoloration of the entire tooth or forming horizontal bands of stain of varying intensity that can range from mild to very dark. Veneers are the treatment of choice for this condition. In 2008, the Asia-Pacific market for dental prosthetics (crowns, bridges and dentures) was valued at over $6 billion. The Asia-Pacific market includes Australia, Japan and South Korea. The aging population and greater demand for aesthetic dentistry are driving forces in the prosthetics market. The global economic crisis, which began in 2008, has led to a slowdown in the overall market; however, the market is expected to grow over the forecast period, reaching $7.2 billion by 2015.

Accordingly, in Europe, despite significantly slowed economic conditions due to the worldwide economic recession, the four largest European markets reported the following growth rates for total sales of dental products – Germany minus 2%; Italy plus 1.6%; France plus 1.6%; UK plus 10%.

We believe that our GlamSmile products which are affordable in comparison to traditional veneers, pain free, easy to apply, and provide instant results make us uniquely positioned to capitalize on the market trends in Asia, Europe and the United States.

Growth Strategy

Today, our strategic plan is to focus our vertically integrated development, manufacturing and marketing resources on selling our GlamSmile veneers direct to consumers by using all forms of direct response media including the internet, print, radio, television and social network media, to expand our presence in China and Europe.  In our marketing efforts we intend to emphasize the ease, convenience, affordability and dramatic, instant results as demonstrated by before and after photos that are attained as a result of GlamSmile veneers. We will also feature our “Until You Smile” satisfaction guarantee. Using the success formula we experienced in China and Belgium using a "Smile Consultant" to help maintain control of the sales process and close the sale, our distribution will be through both owned and operated Glamsmile Studios as well as affiliations with existing dental practices and partner retail centers in Asia, Europe.

Our current strategic marketing and distribution plan includes a combination of owned and licensed GlamSmile centers depending upon the size and location of the market, with us managing the marketing efforts, patient communications and sales process. We  established two geographic divisions, Asia and Europe , each of which will promote GlamSmile veneer treatments in their respective territories. We plan to establish three types of GlamSmile Centers depending upon market factors and government regulation.

 
·
Owned Centers. These are centers in which the Company will own, control and/or manage all aspects of the operation including the facilities, equipment, personnel, marketing, insurance risk and other operating costs and will either employ or contract with dentists to perform the necessary dental services. In China, we will continue to principally rely on our owned and operated dental GlamSmile clinics or centers.

 
·
Licensed Centers. In many markets we will seek to identify and recruit cosmetic dentists that have existing practices and who endorse the GlamSmile veneer products. In these markets, we will contract with dental practices and the Company will recognize revenue through the sale of veneer trays plus marketing and other service fees to be charged to the dentist for services performed by the Company.

Distributors. In markets where we lack the expertise with respect to managing marketing and where local regulation  and/or custom may make it impractical to deploy an owned or licensed center approach we will look to appoint distributors who will be granted exclusive rights to market and distribute our GlamSmile products  directly to consumers subject to minimum performance criteria and/or initial territory fees. In this model the distributor will be expected to invest in all marketing and sales conversion costs in their market. Our   revenues will be derived principally from sales of our GlamSmile veneer products to the distributor.

In order to support and facilitate our growth strategy, it is our intention to restructure our subsidiary companies to better manage our GlamSmile related operations. In conjunction with this restructuring, we intend to have the intellectual property and other assets related to GlamSmile contributed to a new entity to be formed to be called GlamSmile Worldwide. New entities would also be created called GlamSmile Asia and GlamSmile Europe, each with licensed rights to use and exploit the GlamSmile technology in their respective territories.

B2B Market and Distribution

Starting in Belgium and the Netherlands, our products have been introduced utilizing our Distributor Assisted Marketing programs.  We implement our program by first identifying an established dealer in each market with a well developed sales force familiar with sales of capital equipment to the professional dentist community.  Second, we develop aggressive lead generation programs and other marketing techniques which served as a blue print for the dealers to implement.  The combination of a well-trained dealer force and dealer-assisted marketing and lead generation programs has proven to be far more effective than utilizing a direct sales approach, which is much slower and more costly to establish.  This process has been repeated for both the professional dentist and retail, over-the-counter markets in each country.  As a result of this approach, we have been able to establish dealers in 35 countries encompassing, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific Rim and the Middle East.

Consistent with our strategic dealer-assisted marketing approach, in August 2008, we appointed Den-Mat, a global aesthetic dental industry leader since 1974, to be the sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell our GlamSmile tray technology for their Lumineers product line throughout the world excluding Chin] , most of Western Europe, parts the Middle East and other parts of Asia and licensed our technology for use by Den-Mat in their own manufacturing processes.

Locations

We lease our 26,915 square feet office and warehouse facility in Deurle, Belgium.  Our operations take place primarily at our office space and warehouse in Deurle, Belgium.  We also lease a smaller office facility of 2,045 square feet in Gent, Belgium to support the sales and marketing division of our veneer business. To house our Research and Development Division, we also lease an additional office facility of approximately 2,290 square feet.  The facility is located next to our sales and marketing division.

Manufacturing

Prior to 2003, all of the manufacturing related to our dental products were conducted through third party manufacturers under our supervision thereby minimizing demands on capital resources.  Beginning in 2003, parts of the manufacturing and the majority of the final assembly of our products were brought in-house, thereby improving control over product quality while significantly reducing product costs.  These efforts were expanded significantly during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, in particular with regard to the expansion of in-house manufacturing capabilities for our gel products and foam strips. The Company still manufactures many of its products in its facility in Deurle, Belgium, as well as through outsourced manufacturing in China and France.  In December 2005, our manufacturing facility became ISO 9001:2000 certified and ISO 13485:2003 certified which includes the certification for the manufacture of medical devices.

Research and Development

Our research and development expenses increased $158,049 to $429,244 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $271,195 for the year ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 58.3%.  Research and development expenses have increased primarily because of our work with respect to the integration of the SensAble technology with the milling machine, and the development of a new silicon based product used to reduce new and old scars ( RemeScar ™) by our OTC division.

We believe that the protocol’s required for integration with the SensAble technology with the milling machine are almost complete and once complete, we will be able to produce our veneers remotely, automatically and with minimal manual labor. We plan to have the final protocols in place during the course of the next twelve months.

We anticipate that our research and development costs will decrease over the next fiscal year since the RemeScar product is in its production phase and ready to be launched into the markets and because we believe that the integration of the SensAble technology in the milling machine is almost complete.

Intellectual Property

GlamSmile.  We have filed a patent application related to the design and manufacturing process of the GlamSmile product in the European Union on March 2, 2003 and  the United States on December 20, 2007. The patent applications are pending as of March 31, 2011.    We also have  international trademark registration for GlamSmile in the United States until August 16, 2017 and in the  European Union until April 6, 2017. In addition, we have secured the domain name www.glamsmile.com as well as other related internet domains in our targeted markets. We also have ongoing research and development efforts to improve and expand our current technology and to develop new dental products.   We intend to continue to apply for patents when we believe it is in our interest to do so and as advised by patent counsel.  We rely and will continue to rely on trade secrets, know-how and other unpatented proprietary information in our business.  Certain of our key employees and consultants are required to enter into confidentiality and/or non-competition agreements to protect our confidential information.

Teeth Whitening Patents.  In October 2004, the Company acquired from the inventor the exclusive, perpetual license to two issued United States patents which are applicable to several teeth whitening products, which consists of a patent related to a heated dental tray which expires on February 8, 2019 and a  patent related to device for heating the teeth and uses therefor which expires on February 23, 2021. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive, perpetual license to manufacture, market, distribute and sell the products on the US market contemplated by the patents subject to the payment of $65,000 as reimbursement to the patent holder for legal and other costs associated with obtaining the patents, which was paid in October 2004, and royalties for each unit sold subject to an annual minimum royalty of $100,000 per year. The Company is amortizing the initial cost of $65,000 for these patents over a ten year period.    The license agreement contemplated the  launch of the product in the United States and provided for payment of royalties on those sales.  The launch of the product in the United States was unsuccessful and as a result, the product was taken from the United States market.  The Company failed to make payments to the Licensor of at least $100,000 USD per year, consequently all rights to the patents reverted to the licensor effective March 31, 2006.  Accordingly, the patents have been written off as of March 31, 2011.

Universal Applicator Patent.  In September 2004, we entered into an agreement with Lident N.V. (“Lident”), a company controlled by Mr. De Vreese, the Company’s Chairman, to obtain an option, exercisable through December 31, 2005, to license an international patent (excluding the US) and worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights for a potential new product which Lident had been assigned certain rights by the inventors of the products, who are unrelated parties, prior to Mr. De Vreese association with the Company. The patent is an Italian patent which relates to a single use universal applicator for dental pastes, salves, creams, powders, liquids and other substances where manual application could be relevant. We have filed to have the patent approved throughout Europe. The agreement required us to advance to the inventors through Lident a fully refundable deposit of €100,000 subject to our due diligence regarding the enforceability of the patent and marketability of the product, which, if viable, would be assigned to us for additional consideration to the inventors of €100,000 and an ongoing royalty from sales of products related to the patent equal to 3% of net sales and, if not viable, the deposit would be repaid in full by Lident. The consideration we agreed to pay Lident upon the exercise of the option is the same as the consideration Lident is obligated to pay the original inventors. Consequently, Lident would not have profited from the exercise of the option. Furthermore, at a meeting of our Board of Directors on July 13, 2005, the Board accepted Lident’s offer to facilitate an assignment of Lident’s intellectual property rights to the technology to us in exchange for the reimbursement of Lident’s actual costs incurred relating to the intellectual property. Consequently, when we exercise the option, all future payments, other than the reimbursement of costs would be paid directly to the original inventors and not to Lident.

On December 12, 2005, the Company exercised the option and the Company and the patent holder agreed to revise the assignment agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay €50,000 additional compensation in the form of prepaid royalties instead of the €100,000 previously agreed, €25,000 of which was paid by the Company in September 2005 and the remaining €25,000 is to be paid upon the Company’s first shipment of a product covered by the patent. As of March 31, 2011 the Company has not yet received the final Product and therefore, $35,433 (€25,000) has been written off during the year ended March 31, 2011. Further, the patent has been completely amortized over five (5) years and accordingly, the Company has recorded $118,840 of accumulated amortization for this patent as of March 31, 2011.

Major Customers

At March 31, 2011 five customers accounted for a total of  61% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable and one of those customers accounted for 24.6% of total accounts receivable.  At March 31, 2010 four customers accounted for a total of 12.2%, 10.6%, 9.4% and 6.7% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and normally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

Competition

GlamSmile.  Our competition consists of both alternative procedures that can be performed to achieve in part the results that would be achieved through a GlamSmile procedure, as well as competition from dentists not within the GlamSmile network who provide veneer procedures. With regard to alternative procedures, options available to the consumer include various whitening procedures, dental implants, dental bonding and dental caps. With the exception of whitening procedures, which for the most part cannot address many of the dental issues solved by GlamSmile veneers, the remaining alternatives all involve more cost, more patient discomfort and more time to complete. There are many dental practitioners that perform traditional veneer procedures. In most cases, traditional veneers will also be significantly more costly then GlamSmile veneers and require the dentist to remove more of the existing tooth material as well as requiring multiple patient visits to complete. That said, there will be existing practitioners that believe they can attain more customized results with the individual veneer approach as opposed to the GlamSmile tray approach and may be reluctant to offer our less costly procedure. To the best of our knowledge, GlamSmile will be “first to market” with respect to a direct to consumer advertising and promotion campaign for veneers anywhere which should enable us to capture market share in what we believe will be a rapidly growing market. Further, we have filed for patents on our proprietary tray delivery systems and have developed years of knowhow relating to treating patients with the multiple veneer approach. However, new technologies are continue to be developed and new processes could be designed that would not violate our patents and result in similar solutions that could compete with GlamSmile products. Because we are uniquely positioned to have the ability to control the entire process from manufacturing to marketing to distribution, we believe it is feasible for us to  have complete control and flexibility to maximize margins and respond aggressively to any competitive situation.

Teeth Whitening.  International markets including Europe, Asia and Latin America have followed the United States’ lead in expanding offerings in the areas of teeth whitening.  Leading the way in both the professional dentist segment has been United States based companies seeking to expand their distribution.  Impeding these efforts has been the inability of many of these companies to fully understand the differences from both a distribution and a regulatory standpoint that apply in each of the European and Asian markets.  Notwithstanding the formation of the European Union and its efforts to standardize regulatory and business practices throughout Europe, these practices in reality vary widely from country to country.  Competition in the professional dentistry product lines comes primarily from the larger United States based competitors including Brite-Smile, Rembrandt (now a subsidiary of Gillette Company, Inc.), Discuss Dental, Inc. and Zoom.  All of these companies offer light and whitening solutions to the professional dentist community.  Despite our competition’s advantage with respect to size, resources and name recognition, we have continued to maintain market share in this highly competitive segment for the following reasons:

 
Better combined pricing strategy than the competition when considering net cost for whitening materials and initial cost of light.

 
Dual purpose light to maximize value of initial investment.

 
Ease of use from automated functionality of light, speed and gel application method.

 
Superior gel formulation which maximizes performance while minimizing sensitivity.

Home maintenance kit for improved patient satisfaction.

Regulatory Issues

Medical Device

As we market dental products which are legally defined to be medical devices, we are considered to be a medical device manufacturer and as such we are subject to the regulations of, among other governmental entities, the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) and the corresponding agencies of the states and foreign countries in which we sell our products.  These regulations govern the introduction of new medical devices, the observance of certain standards with respect to the manufacture and labeling of medical devices, the maintenance of certain records and the reporting of potential product problems and other matters.  A failure to comply with such regulations could have material adverse effects on our business.

The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDC Act”) regulates medical devices in the United States by classifying them into one of three classes based on the extent of regulation believed necessary to ensure safety and effectiveness.  Class I devices are those devices for which safety and effectiveness can reasonably be ensured through general controls, such as device listing, adequate labeling, pre-market notification and adherence to the Quality System Regulation (“QSR”) as well as medical device reporting, labeling and other regulatory requirements.  Some Class I medical devices are exempt from the requirement of pre-market approval or clearance.  Class II devices are those devices for which safety and effectiveness can reasonably be ensured through the use of special controls, such as performance standards, post-market surveillance and patient registries, as well as adherence to the general controls provisions applicable to Class I devices.  Class III devices are devices that generally must receive pre-market approval by the FDA pursuant to a pre-market approval application (“PMA”) to ensure their safety and effectiveness.  Generally, Class III devices are limited to life sustaining, life supporting or implantable devices; however, this classification can also apply to novel technology or new intended uses or applications for existing devices.

Before most medical devices can be marketed in the United States, they are required by the FDA to secure either clearance of a pre-market notification pursuant to Section 510(k) of the FDC Act (a “510(k) Clearance”) or approval of a PMA.  Obtaining approval of a PMA can take several years.  In contrast, the process of obtaining 510(k) Clearance generally requires a submission of substantially less data and generally involves a shorter review period.  Most Class I and Class II devices enter the market via the 510(k) Clearance procedure, while new Class III devices ordinarily enter the market via the more rigorous PMA procedure.  In general, approval of a 510(k) Clearance may be obtained if a manufacturer or seller of medical devices can establish that a new device is “substantially equivalent” to a predicate device other than one that has an approved PMA.  The claim for substantial equivalence may have to be supported by various types of information, including clinical data, indicating that the device is as safe and effective for its intended use as its legally marketed equivalent device.  The 510(k) Clearance is required to be filed and cleared by the FDA prior to introducing a device into commercial distribution.  Market clearance for a 510(k) Notification submission may take 3 to 12 months or longer.  If the FDA finds that the device is not substantially equivalent to a predicate device, the device is deemed a Class III device, and a manufacturer or seller is required to file a PMA.  Approval of a PMA for a new medical device usually requires, among other things, extensive clinical data on the safety and effectiveness of the device.  PMA applications may take years to be approved after they are filed.  In addition to requiring clearance or approval for new medical devices, FDA rules also require a new 510(k) filing and review period prior to marketing a changed or modified version of an existing legally marketed device if such changes or modifications could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of that device.  The FDA prohibits the advertisement or promotion of any approved or cleared device for uses other than those that are stated in the device’s approved or cleared application. We believe that the GlamSmile products will not require a 510(k) submission because the products fall within an exemption under the 510(k) regulation.

International sales of medical devices are also subject to the regulatory requirements of each country.  In Europe, the regulations of the European Union require that a device have a CE Mark, a mark that indicates conformance with European Union laws and regulations before it can be sold in that market.  In China, the State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”)  is the agency primarily responsible for regulating medical devices.  The regulatory international review process varies from country to country.  We previously relied upon our distributors and sales representatives in the foreign countries in which we market our products to ensure we comply with the regulatory laws of such countries; however, during the year ended March 31, 2006 we expanded our own Research and Development personnel to enable us to provide greater assistance and play a more proactive role in obtaining local regulatory approvals, especially in Europe.  We currently have an in-office regulatory affairs representative who is responsible for coordinating local and international approvals as well as our ISO:9001 and ISO:13485 (medical device).  In China, we continue to rely on our distributors and strategic partners to ensure compliance with regulatory laws of China.

Fee Splitting and Arrangements with Health Professionals

Many states in the United States and countries worldwide have laws that prohibit business corporations like us from practicing medicine, employing dentists to practice medicine, exercising control over medical decisions by dentists, or engaging in certain arrangements, such as fee splitting, with dentists. In light of these restrictions, in certain markets where permissible we intend to operate by maintaining management contracts with dentists owned corporations or other business entities that employ or contract with dentists to provide the GlamSmile and other dental services. Under these arrangements we will perform under contract only nonmedical administrative services, will not offer medical services and will not exercise influence or control over the practice of medicine by the dentists employed by such business entities. In markets where fee splitting with a business corporation is prohibited, the fees that will be received by us will have been established on a basis that we believe complies with the applicable laws. However, regulatory authorities or other parties may assert that, despite these arrangements, we are engaged in the corporate practice of medicine or that the contractual arrangements with the affiliated professional contractors constitute unlawful fee splitting, in which case we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties, the contracts could be found legally invalid and unenforceable (in whole or in part) or we could be required to restructure our contractual arrangements.

Dental Practice

Dental practices are subject to local and national regulations worldwide.  Although the laws and regulations for operating a dental practice and engaging in dental services vary from country to country, in general our dental studios require a health license and a business license.  In addition, the dentists providing services in the dental studios are also required to be licensed to practice.

While the Company believes it is in substantial compliance with the laws and regulations which regulate its business, and that it possesses all the licenses required in the conduct of its business, the failure to comply with any of those laws or regulations, or the imposition of new laws or regulations could negatively impact the Company’s business.

Costs and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws and Regulations

We are not in a business that involves the use of materials in a manufacturing stage where such materials are likely to result in the violation of any existing environmental rules and/or regulations.  Further, we do not own any real property that could lead to liability as a landowner.  Therefore, we do not anticipate that there will be any substantial costs associated with the compliance of environmental laws and regulations.

Employees

We currently retain 20 full-time employees in Belgium.   We currently have one employee, Mr. Stephen Ross, our Chief Financial Officer, located in the United States.  Our subsidiary, Remedent, N.V., has an employment agreement with Mr. Philippe Van Acker our Chief Accounting Officer.  We have no other employment agreements with our executive officers.

ITEM 1A — RISK FACTORS

RISK FACTORS

Investment in our common stock involves risk.  You should carefully consider the risks we describe below before deciding to invest.  The market price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, in which case you could lose all or part of your investment.  In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included in this Annual Report, including our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes.  You should pay particular attention to the fact that we are a holding company with substantial operations in Belgium and China and are subject to legal and regulatory environments that in many respects differ from that of the United States.  Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any of the risks discussed below and any others not foreseen.  This discussion contains forward-looking statements.

Risks Relating To Our Business

We have a history of losses and we could suffer losses in the future.

With the exception of a small profit of $16,149 on revenue of $5,234,855 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2004, we have had a history of substantial losses.  Our losses were $1,547,175 on revenues of $12,581,708 for the year ended March 31, 2011 and $2,349,915 on revenues of $8,247,940 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  We expect to continue to incur increasing cost of revenues, sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses in connection with our business strategy.  However, despite our efforts, there is no assurance that we will be able to achieve or sustain profitability.

Substantially all of our assets are secured under a credit facility with BNP Paribas Fortis Bank, a bank located outside of the United States, and in the event of default under the credit facility we may lose all of our assets.
 
The Company has a mixed-use line of credit facility with BNP Paribas Fortis, a Belgian bank (the “Facility”).  The Facility is secured by a first lien on the assets of Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V.   On January 3, 2008, an amendment was made decreasing the mixed-use line of credit to €2,050,000, to be used by Remedent NV and/or Sylphar NV. Each line of credit carries its own interest rates and fees as provided in the Facility and varies from the current prevailing bank rate
 
 
14

 
 
The latest amendment to the Facility, dated June 7, 2010, amended and split the line of credit to €1,250,000, to be used by Remedent NV and € 1,000,000 to be used Sylphar NV. Each line of credit carries its own interest rates and fees as provided in the Facility and vary from the current prevailing bank rate of approximately 3.27%, for draws on the credit line, to 9.9% for advances on accounts receivable concerning Remedent N.V. and similar for Sylphar N.V. Remedent N.V and Sylphar NV are currently only utilizing two lines of credit, advances based on account receivables and the straight loan. As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V. had in aggregate, $2,160,674 and $674,600 in advances outstanding, respectively, under the mixed-use line of credit facilities. Although we are current in our obligations under this Facility, in the event of a default under this Facility we may lose our assets.  In addition, our Facility currently provide the Company with cash  to accelerate our expansion plan to open new GlamSmile Studios.  Accordingly,  without the availability of funds from our Facility, or alternative source of funding, it would take us longer to open  new Studios.

We depend on strategic relationships with third parties for sales and marketing performance and revenues in the People’s Republic of China and certain territories in North America,  and failure to maintain these relationships, poor performance by these companies or disputes with these companies could negatively impact our business.
 
We rely on significant strategic relationships with third parties, for our sales and marketing performance in certain territories. These include collaborations with Den-Mat and strategic partners in China for our dental studios.  Reliance on collaborative relationships poses a number of risks, including the risk that:
 
 
• 
We are unable to control the resources our corporate partners devote to our programs or products;

 
• 
disagreements with our corporate partners could cause delays in, or termination of, the research, development or commercialization of product candidates or result in litigation or arbitration;

 
• 
contracts with our corporate partners may fail to provide significant protection or may fail to be effectively enforced if one of these partners fails to perform;

 
• 
our corporate partners with marketing rights may choose to pursue competing technologies or to devote fewer resources to the marketing of our products; and

 
• 
our distributors and our corporate partners may be unable to pay us, particularly in light of current economic conditions.
 
Given these risks, there is a great deal of uncertainty regarding the success of our current and future collaborative efforts. If these efforts fail, our product development or commercialization of new products could be delayed or revenues from products will most likely decline.
 
We may not have access to capital in the future as a result of disruptions in capital and credit markets.

Although we currently have additional credit available under our Facility with BNP Paribas Fortis Bank, we may not be able to access our funds in the future.  Our access to the funds under our current credit facility with BNP Paribas Fortis Bank is dependent on the ability of the financial institution that is party to the facility to meet its funding commitments. BNP Paribas Fortis Bank may not be able to meet its funding commitments if it experiences shortages of capital and liquidity or if it experiences excessive volumes of borrowing requests within a short period of time. Moreover, longer term volatility and continued disruptions in the capital and credit markets as a result of uncertainty, changing or increased regulation of financial institutions, reduced alternatives or failures of significant financial institutions could affect adversely our access to the liquidity needed for our business in the longer term. Such disruptions could require us to take measures to conserve cash until the markets stabilize or until alternative credit arrangements or other funding for our business needs can be arranged. The disruptions in the capital and credit markets have also resulted in higher interest rates on publicly issued debt securities and increased costs under credit facilities. The continuation of these disruptions would increase our interest expense and capital costs and could affect adversely our results of operations and financial position including our ability to grow our business through acquisitions.

 
15

 

We have obtained loans from third parties recently and anticipate that we will need additional capital during the next twelve months.  In addition, if we are unable to secure additional financing to meet our future capital this will have adverse effects on our financial condition.

We recently obtained a secured short-term loan for $400,000 from an unrelated third party in order to finance the expansion  of new our GlamSmile studios in Europe.  In addition, on June 3, 2011, we obtained another long term loan for $1,000,000 loan from an unrelated party in order to support and finance the expansion of new GlamSmile Studios in Mainland China.  These loans are secured by certain assets we own and in the event of default, the lenders will have a right to the collateral granted to them under the loan agreements and we will lose our ownership interest in the assets.  A loss of our collateral will have material adverse effect on our Asia operations, our business and financial condition.

In addition, we anticipate needing significant capital to introduce new products, further develop our existing products, increase awareness of our brand names and expand our operating and management infrastructure as we grow sales in Europe, Asia and South America and  launch sales and distribution activities in the United States.  We may use capital more rapidly than currently anticipated and incur higher operating expenses and generate lower revenue than currently expected, and we may be required to depend on external financing to satisfy our operating and capital needs.  We may need new or additional financing in the future to conduct our operations or expand our business. Any sustained weakness in the general economic conditions and/or financial markets in the United States or globally could affect adversely our ability to raise capital on favorable terms or at all. From time to time we have relied, and may also rely in the future, on access to financial markets as a source of liquidity to satisfy working capital requirements and for general corporate purposes. We may be unable to secure additional debt or equity financing on terms acceptable to us, or at all, at the time when we need such funding.  If we do raise funds by issuing additional equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership percentages of existing stockholders would be reduced, and the securities that we issue may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock or may be issued at a discount to the market price of our common stock which would result in dilution to our existing stockholders.  If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to debt covenants, such as the debt covenants under our secured credit facility, which could place limitations on our operations including our ability to declare and pay dividends.  Our inability to raise additional funds on a timely basis would make it difficult for us to achieve our business objectives and would have a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our results of operations may be adversely impacted by currency fluctuations.

We currently have operations in Belgium and have product sales in Europe, the Middle East, South America and Asia.  A significant portion of our revenue is in currencies other than United States dollars, including Euros, Hong Kong dollar and the Chinese Renminbi (“RMB”).  Because our financial statements are reported in United States dollars, fluctuations in Euros, Hong Kong dollar and RMB against the United States dollar may cause us to recognize foreign currency transaction gains and losses, which may be material to our operations and impact our reported financial condition and results of operations

 
16

 

Substantially all of our assets and our operations are located outside of the United States, a significant number of sales  are generated outside of the United States subjecting us to risks associated with international operations.

Our operations are primarily in Europe and Asia and 82% of our sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 were generated from customers outside of the United States, compared to 64% of our sales for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010. The international nature of our business subjects us to the laws and regulations of the jurisdictions in which we operate and sell our products.  In addition, we are subject to risks inherent in international business activities, including:

 
difficulties in collecting accounts receivable and longer collection periods,

 
Changes in overseas economic conditions,

 
fluctuations in currency exchange rates,

 
potentially weaker intellectual property protections,

 
changing and conflicting local laws and other regulatory requirements,

 
Political and economic instability,

 
war, acts of terrorism or other hostilities,

 
potentially adverse tax consequences,

 
difficulties in staffing and managing foreign operations, or

 
tariffs or other trade regulations and restrictions.

Our quarterly sales and operating results have fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate in future periods which may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Our quarterly sales and operating results have fluctuated and are likely to continue to vary from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are not within our control.  Factors that might cause quarterly fluctuations in our sales and operating results include, but are not limited by the following:

 
Variation in demand for our products, including variation due to seasonality;

 
Our ability to research, develop, introduce, market and gain market acceptance of new products and product enhancements in a timely manner;

 
Our ability to control costs;

 
The size, timing, rescheduling or cancellation of orders from distributors;

 
The introduction of new products by competitors;

 
Long sales cycles and fluctuations in sales cycles;

 
The availability and reliability of components used to manufacture our products;

 
17

 

 
Changes in our pricing policies or those of our suppliers and competitors, as well as increased price competition in general;

 
The risks and uncertainties associated with our international business;

 
Costs associated with any future acquisitions of technologies and businesses;

 
Developments concerning the protection of our proprietary rights; and

 
General global economic, political, international conflicts, and acts of terrorism.

We are economically sensitive to general economic conditions, including continued weakening of the economy, therefore the sale of our products could be adversely affected.

Our industry is sensitive to recessions in the general economy and future economic outlook. Our results may be dependent on a number of factors impacting consumer spending, including general economic and business conditions; and consumer confidence. The demand for our dental products may decline during recessionary periods and at other times when disposable income is lower. A downturn or an uncertain outlook in the economy may materially adversely affect our business.

An unsuccessful material strategic transaction or relationship could result in operating difficulties and other harmful consequences to our business.

We have evaluated, and expect to continue to evaluate, a wide array of potential strategic transactions and relationships with third parties.  From time to time, we may engage in discussions regarding potential acquisitions or joint ventures. Any of these transactions could be material to our financial condition and results of operations, and the failure of any of these material relationships and transactions may have a negative financial impact on our business.

Our products may be subject to government regulation and failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in fines, suspensions, seizure actions, product recalls, injunctions and criminal prosecutions.

Before most medical devices can be marketed in the United States, they are required by the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) to secure either clearance of a pre-market notification pursuant to Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDC Act”) (a “510(k) Clearance”) or approval of a pre-market approval application (“PMA”).  Obtaining approval of a PMA application can take several years.  In contrast, the process of obtaining 510(k) Clearance generally requires a submission of substantially less data and generally involves a shorter review period.  As discussed more specifically under the subsection title “Regulatory Issue,” most Class I and Class II devices enter the market via the 510(k) Clearance procedure, while new Class III devices ordinarily enter the market via the more rigorous PMA procedure.  Approval of a PMA application for a new medical device usually requires, among other things, extensive clinical data on the safety and effectiveness of the device.  PMA applications may take years to be approved after they are filed.  In addition to requiring clearance or approval for new medical devices, FDA rules also require a new 510(k) filing and review period, prior to marketing a changed or modified version of an existing legally marketed device, if such changes or modifications could significantly affect the safety or effectiveness of that device.  The FDA prohibits the advertisement or promotion of any approved or cleared device for uses other than those that are stated in the device’s approved or cleared application.

We have received approval from the FDA to market our RemeCure dental curing lamp in the United States.  We submitted our application for approval on FDA Form 510(k) on October 30, 2002 and received FDA approval for this product on January 9, 2003.  None of our other products have FDA approval for marketing in the United States.  However, we believe that our products, including for example, GlamSmile, do not require a 510(k) submission because the products fall within an exemption under the 510(k) regulation.

International sales of medical devices are also subject to the regulatory requirements of each country. In Europe, the regulations of the European Union require that a device have a CE Mark, a mark that indicates conformance with European Union laws and regulations before it can be sold in that market. In China, the SFDA requires registration of medical devices. The regulatory international review process varies from country to country. We rely upon our distributors, sales representatives and strategic partners in the foreign countries in which we market our products to ensure we comply with the regulatory laws of such countries. Failure to comply with the laws of such country will have a material adverse effect on our operations and, at the very least, could prevent us from continuing to sell products in such countries.

We may not have effective internal controls if we fail to remedy any deficiencies we may identify in our system of internal controls.

In connection with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we need to assess the adequacy of our internal control, remediate any weaknesses that may be identified, validate that controls are functioning as documented and implement a continuous reporting and improvement process for internal controls. We may discover deficiencies that require us to improve our procedures, processes and systems in order to ensure that our internal controls are adequate and effective and that we are in compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If the deficiencies are not adequately addressed, or if we are unable to complete all of our testing and any remediation in time for compliance with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the SEC rules under it, we would be unable to conclude that our internal controls over financial reporting are designed and operating effectively, which could adversely affect our investor confidence in our internal controls over financial reporting.

The loss of or a substantial reduction in, or change in the size or timing of, orders from distributors could harm our business.

Our international sales are principally comprised of sales through independent distributors, although we sell products in certain European countries through direct sales representatives.  A significant amount of our sales may consist of sales through distributors.  The loss of a substantial number of our distributors or a substantial reduction in, cancellation of or change in the size or timing of orders from our current distributors could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.  The loss of a key distributor would affect our operating results due to the potential length of time that might be required to locate and qualify a new distributor or to retain direct sales representatives for the territory.

We do not have long term commitments from our suppliers and manufacturers.

We may experience shortages of supplies and inventory because we do not have long-term agreements with our suppliers or manufacturers.  Our success is dependent on our ability to provide our customers with our products.  Although we manufacture most of our products, we are dependent on our suppliers for component parts which are necessary for our manufacturing operations.  In addition, certain of our present and future products and product components are (or will be) manufactured by third party manufacturers.  Since we have no long-term contracts or other contractual assurances with these manufacturers for continued supply, pricing or access to component parts, no assurance can be given that such manufacturers will continue to supply us with adequate quantities of products at acceptable levels of quality and price.  While we believe that we have good relationships with our suppliers and our manufacturers, if we are unable to extend or secure manufacturing services or to obtain component parts or finished products from one or more manufacturers on a timely basis and on acceptable terms, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

We face intense competition, and many of our competitors have substantially greater resources than we do.

We operate in a highly competitive environment. There are numerous well-established companies and smaller entrepreneurial companies  with significant resources who are developing and marketing products and services that will compete with our products.  In addition, many of our current and potential competitors have greater financial, technical, operational and marketing resources.  These resources may make it difficult for us to compete with them in the development and marketing of our products, which could harm our business.

Our success will depend on our ability to update our technology to remain competitive.

The dental device and supply industry is subject to technological change.  As technological changes occur in the marketplace, we may have to modify our products in order to become or remain competitive.  While we are continuing our research and development in new products in efforts to strengthen our competitive advantage, no assurances can be given that we will successfully implement technological improvements to our products on a timely basis, or at all.  If we fail to anticipate or respond in a cost-effective and timely manner to government requirements, market trends or customer demands, or if there are any significant delays in product development or introduction, our revenues and profit margins may decline which could adversely affect our cash flows, liquidity and operating results.

We depend on market acceptance of the products of our customers.  If our products do not gain market acceptance, our ability to compete will be adversely affected.

Our success will depend in large part on our ability to successfully market our line of products. Although we intend to differentiate our products from our competitors by targeting different channels of distribution, no assurances can be given that we will be able to successfully market our products or achieve consumer acceptance.  Moreover, failure to successfully develop, manufacture and commercialize our products on a timely and cost-effective basis will have a material adverse effect on our ability to compete in our targeted market segments.  In addition, medical and dental insurance policies generally do not cover teeth whitening or other cosmetic dental procedures, including our products, which may have an adverse impact upon the market acceptance of our products.

We may be exposed to liabilities under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and any determination that we violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act could have a material adverse effect on our business.
 
To the extent that we operate outside the United States, we are subject to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (the “FCPA”) which generally prohibits U.S. companies and their intermediaries from bribing foreign officials for the purpose of obtaining or keeping business or otherwise obtaining favorable treatment. In particular, we may be held liable for actions taken by our strategic or local partners even though such partners are foreign companies that are not subject to the FCPA. Any determination that we violated the FCPA could result in sanctions that could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Failure to meet customers’ expectations or deliver expected performance of our products could result in losses and negative publicity, which will harm our business.

If our products fail to perform in the manner expected by our customers, then our revenues may be delayed or lost due to adverse customer reaction, negative publicity about us and our products, which could adversely affect our ability to attract or retain customers.  Furthermore, disappointed customers may initiate claims for substantial damages against us, regardless of our responsibility for such failure.
 
 
20

 

 
If product liability lawsuits are successfully brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our products.
 
Although we have not been a party to any product liability lawsuits and are currently not aware of any anticipated product liability claims with respect to our products, the nature of our business exposes us to product liability lawsuits arising out of the commercialization of our products.  In the future, an individual may bring a liability claim against us if one of our products causes, or merely appears to have caused, an injury.  If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against the product liability claim, we may incur substantial liabilities.  Regardless of merit or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in:

 
decreased demand for our products;

 
injury to our reputation;

 
costs of related litigation;

 
substantial monetary awards to customers;

 
product recalls;

 
loss of revenue; and

 
the inability to commercialize our products.

We may have difficulty managing our growth.

We have been experiencing significant growth in the scope of our operations, including the launch of our retail direct to consumer business model in Asia through strategic partnerships.  This growth has placed significant demands on our management as well as our financial and operational resources.  In order to achieve our business objectives, we anticipate that we will need to continue to grow.  If this growth occurs, it will continue to place additional significant demands on our management and our financial and operational resources, and will require that we continue to develop and improve our operational, financial and other internal controls.  We have been distributing our products primarily in Europe and we have recently launched sales and distribution in the United States and Asia, this expansion could further increase the challenges involved in implementing appropriate operational and financial systems, expanding manufacturing capacity and scaling up production, expanding our sales and marketing infrastructure and capabilities and providing adequate training and supervision to maintain high quality standards.  The main challenge associated with our growth has been, and we believe will continue to be, our ability to recruit and integrate skilled sales, manufacturing and management personnel.  Our inability to scale our business appropriately or otherwise adapt to growth would cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to suffer.

It may be difficult to enforce a United States judgment against us, our officers and directors, or to assert United States securities laws claims in Belgium and to serve process on substantially all of our directors and officers and these experts.

A majority of our directors and our chief executive officer are nonresidents of the United States.  A substantial portion of our assets and all or a substantial portion of the assets of these officers and directors and experts are located outside of the United States.  As a result, it may be difficult to effect service of process within the United States with respect to matters arising under the United States securities laws or to enforce, in the United States courts, judgments predicated upon civil liability under the United States securities laws.  It also may be difficult to enforce in Belgium, in original actions or in actions for enforcement of judgment of United States courts, civil liabilities predicated upon United States securities laws.

 
21

 

If we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights or our intellectual property rights are inadequate, our competitive position could be harmed or we could be required to incur expenses to enforce our rights.

Our future success will depend, in part, on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our products and technology, to preserve our trade secrets and to operate without infringing the intellectual property of others.  In part, we rely on patents to establish and maintain proprietary rights in our technology and products.  While we hold licenses to a number of issued patents and have other patent applications pending on our products and technology, we cannot assure you that any additional patents will be issued, that the scope of any patent protection will be effective in helping us address our competition or that any of our patents will be held valid if subsequently challenged.  Other companies also may independently develop similar products, duplicate our products or design products that circumvent our patents.

In addition, if our intellectual property rights are inadequate, we may be exposed to third-party infringement claims against us.  Although we have not been a party to any infringement claims and are currently not aware of any anticipated infringement claim, we cannot predict whether third parties will assert claims of infringement against us, or whether any future claims will prevent us from operating our business as planned.  If we are forced to defend against third-party infringement claims, whether they are with or without merit or are determined in our favor, we could face expensive and time-consuming litigation.  If an infringement claim is determined against us, we may be required to pay monetary damages or ongoing royalties.  In addition, if a third party successfully asserts an infringement claim against us and we are unable to develop suitable non-infringing alternatives or license the infringed or similar intellectual property on reasonable terms on a timely basis, then our business could suffer.

If we are unable to meet customer demand or comply with quality regulations, our sales will suffer.

We manufacture many of our products at our Deurle, Belgium production facilities.  In order to achieve our business objectives, we will need to significantly expand our manufacturing capabilities to produce the systems and accessories necessary to meet demand.  We may encounter difficulties in scaling-up production of our products, including problems involving production capacity and yields, quality control and assurance, component supply and shortages of qualified personnel.  In addition, our manufacturing facilities are subject to periodic inspections by foreign regulatory agencies.  Our success will depend in part upon our ability to manufacture our products in compliance with regulatory requirements.  Our business will suffer if we do not succeed in manufacturing our products on a timely basis and with acceptable manufacturing costs while at the same time maintaining good quality control and complying with applicable regulatory requirements.

We are dependent on Guy De Vreese, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and any loss of such key personnel could result in the loss of a significant portion of our business.

Our success is highly dependent upon the key business relations and expertise of Guy De Vreese, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.  Unlike larger companies, we rely heavily on a small number of officers to conduct a large portion of our business.  The loss of service of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer along with the loss of his numerous contacts and relationships in the industry would have a material adverse effect on our business.  We do not have an employment agreement with Guy De Vreese.

If we cannot build and maintain strong brand loyalty our business may suffer.

We believe that the importance of brand recognition will increase as more companies produce competing products.  Development and awareness of our brands will depend largely on our ability to advertise and market successfully.  If we are unsuccessful, our brands may not be able to gain widespread acceptance among consumers.  Our failure to develop our brands sufficiently would have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Relating To Our Common Stock

There is a limited public trading market for our common stock.

Our Common Stock presently trades on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol “REMI.” We cannot assure you, however, that such market will continue or that you will be able to liquidate your shares acquired in this offering at the price you paid or otherwise.  We also cannot assure you that any other market will be established in the future.  The price of our common stock may be highly volatile and your liquidity may be adversely affected in the future.

Our common stock is thinly traded, so you may be unable to sell at or near ask prices or at all if you need to sell your shares to raise money or otherwise desire to liquidate your shares.

There is limited market activity in our stock and we are too small to attract the interest of many brokerage firms and analysts. We cannot give you any assurance that a broader or more active public trading market for our common stock will develop or be sustained. While we are trading on the Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board, our trading volume may be limited by the fact that many major institutional investment funds, including mutual funds, as well as individual investors follow a policy of not investing in Over- the–Counter Bulletin Board stocks and certain major brokerage firms restrict their brokers from recommending Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board stocks because they are considered speculative, volatile, thinly traded and the market price of the common stock may not accurately reflect our underlying value. The market price of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to quarterly variations in our revenues and operating expenses, announcements of new products or services by us, significant sales of our common stock, the operating and stock price performance of other companies that investors may deem comparable to us, and news reports relating to trends in our markets or general economic conditions.

The ownership of our stock is highly concentrated in our management.

As of  June 20, 2011, our present directors and executive officers, and their respective affiliates beneficially owned approximately 29% of our outstanding common stock, including underlying options that were exercisable or which would become exercisable within 60 days.  As a result of their ownership, our directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates collectively are able to significantly influence all matters requiring stockholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions.  This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control.

We have a substantial number of shares authorized but not yet issued.

Our Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 50,000,000 shares of common stock and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock.  Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue additional shares of common stock and preferred stock and to issue options and warrants to purchase shares of our common stock and preferred stock without stockholder approval.  Future issuance of common stock and preferred stock could be at values substantially below current market prices and therefore could represent further substantial dilution to our stockholders.  In addition, the Board could issue large blocks of voting stock to fend off unwanted tender offers or hostile takeovers without further stockholder approval.

We have historically not paid dividends and do not intend to pay dividends.

We have historically not paid dividends to our stockholders and management does not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock to our stockholders for the foreseeable future.  We intend to retain future earnings, if any, for use in the operation and expansion of our business.

Our stock may be governed by the “penny stock rules,” which impose additional requirements on broker-dealers who make transactions in our stock.

SEC rules require a broker-dealer to provide certain information to purchasers of securities traded at less than $5.00, which are not traded on a national securities exchange.  Since our common stock is not currently traded on an exchange, our common stock is considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our common stock is subject to the requirements of Rules 15g-1 through 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Penny Stock Rules”).  The Penny Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market.  The broker-dealer must also give bid and offer quotations and broker and salesperson compensation information to the prospective investor orally or in writing before or with the confirmation of the transaction.  In addition, the Penny Stock Rules require a broker-dealer to make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction before a transaction in a penny stock.  These requirements may severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few broker-dealers may be likely to undertake these compliance activities.  Therefore, the disclosure requirements under the Penny Stock Rules may have the effect of reducing trading activity in our common stock, which may make it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.

Securities Authorized for Issuance under Equity Compensation Plans

As of March 31, 2011, we had three equity compensation plans approved by our stockholders (1) our Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan enacted in 2001 (the “2001 Plan”), (2) our 2004 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2004 Plan”); and (3) our 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”). Our stockholders approved the 2001 Plan reserving 250,000 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant an Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the Commission on August 15, 2001. In addition, our stockholders approved the 2004 Plan reserving 800,000 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to an Information Statement on Schedule 14C filed with the Commission on May 9, 2005.  Finally, our stockholders approved the 2007 Plan reserving 1,000,000 shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to a Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Commission on October 2, 2007.

In addition to the equity compensation plans approved by our stockholders, we have issued options and warrants to individuals pursuant to individual compensation plans not approved by our stockholders.  These options and warrants have been issued in exchange for services or goods received by us.

The following table provides aggregate information as of March 31, 2011 with respect to all compensation plans (including individual compensation arrangements) under which equity securities are authorized for issuance.

ITEM 7 — MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
  
In addition to historical information, this section contains “forward-looking” statements, including statements regarding the growth of product lines, optimism regarding the business, expanding sales and other statements. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, sees, estimates and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results could vary materially from the description contained herein due to many factors including continued market acceptance of our products. In addition, actual results could vary materially based on changes or slower growth in the oral care and cosmetic dentistry products market; the potential inability to realize expected benefits and synergies; domestic and international business and economic conditions; changes in the dental industry; unexpected difficulties in penetrating the oral care and cosmetic dentistry products market; changes in customer demand or ordering patterns; changes in the competitive environment including pricing pressures or technological changes; technological advances; shortages of manufacturing capacity; future production variables impacting excess inventory and other risk factors listed in the section of this Annual Report entitled “Risk Factors” and from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings under “risk factors” and elsewhere.

Each forward-looking statement should be read in context with, and with an understanding of, the various disclosures concerning our business made elsewhere in this Annual Report, as well as other public reports filed by us with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statement as a prediction of actual results of developments. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement contained in this Annual Report. This section should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements.

Overview

We design, develop, manufacture and distribute cosmetic dentistry products.  Leveraging our knowledge of regulatory requirements regarding dental products and management’s experience in the needs of the professional dental community, we have developed a line of professional veneers as well as a family of teeth whitening products for both professional and “Over-The-Counter” (“OTC”) use, that are distributed in Europe, Asia and the United States.  We manufacture many of our products in our facility in Deurle, Belgium as well as outsourced manufacturing in China and France. We distribute our products using both our own internal sales force and through the use of third party distributors.  We have established dealers in 35 countries encompassing, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific Rim and the Middle East.

Recent Developments

On March 25, 2011, we entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Abraham Taff (“Mr. Taff”), pursuant to which the Company borrowed $400,000 from Mr. Taff in exchange for a secured  promissory note (“Promissory Note”)  issued in the name of Mr. Taff for a total repayment amount of $500,000 (“Repayment Amount”).  The Repayment Amount is due on or by December 31, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”) and represents the total and only indebtedness due to Mr. Taff under and in connection with the Promissory Note ( which includes all interest, fees, liquidated damages, liabilities, obligation, debt, costs and expenses due to Mr. Taff  by the Company).  As set forth in the Security Agreement entered into  by the Company and Mr. Taff concurrently with the execution of the Loan Agreement (“Security Agreement”), the Repayment Amount is secured by Company’s  right, title or interest in the payment in the aggregate amount of $500,000, due to the  Company by Den-Mat Holdings, LLC (“Den-Mat”) on  December 31, 2011 pursuant to  Section 2.3(f) of that certain Amendment No. 1 to First Fit Crown Distribution and License Agreement made as of February 16, 2010, by and among Company,  Remedent N.V., a Belgian corporation  and Den-Mat.  We intend to use the proceeds of the loan primarily to open two new GlamSmile studios in Europe during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

On June 3, 2011, we obtained a secured loan in the principal amount of $1,000,000 (the “Loan”) from Asia Best Healthcare Co. Ltd., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Cayman (“Asia Best”).  In connection with the Loan, the Company issued a secured promissory note, with a simple interest rate of 5% per annum to Asia Best (“Note”).  The maturity date of the Note is June 3, 2014 (“Maturity Date”). The Loan was secured by certain assets of the Company pursuant to the terms of a certain Pledge and Security Agreement dated June 3, 2011 entered into by and between the Company and Asia Best (“Security Agreement”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement, in the event the Company fails to repay the obligations under the Note, Asia Best, as the secured party, will have a right to exercise all rights and remedies granted to it in connection with the collateral.   Except for the loan relationship as described, there is no other material relationship between the Company or its affiliates and Asia Best.  We intend to use the proceeds of the loan primarily to open new GlamSmile studios in China during the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, through strategic partnerships we opened a new Glamsmile Studio in Shanghai, China and Munich, Germany.  In addition, our OTC business developed a new silicon based product used to reduce old and new scars, the RemeScar.  The RemeScar products is currently under production and  it is anticipated that the launch will be during the next fiscal  quarter  ended June 30, 2011.

Financial Results and Trends

Revenue increased by approximately 52.5% to $12,581,708 in the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $8,247,940 in the year ended March 31, 2010.  In fiscal 2011, we experienced growth in revenues as a result increased sales in all of our markets, primarily Asia.

Our net loss attributable to our stockholders was $(0.08) for fiscal 2011 and $(0.12) for fiscal 2010. Our net income for fiscal 2011 was negatively impacted by an impairment loss of $750,000 for Soca Networks Singapore (“Soca”), an investment made in a production facility to produce our GlamSmile Veneers. In December 2007, we agreed to  purchase 20% of Soca for a total purchase price of $750,000. Half of the purchase price was advanced $375,000 to Soca as a down payment, pending completion of the agreement terms.  The balance of $375,000 cash was paid to Soca in March of 2008.  Finalization of the 20% acquisition was dependent upon completion of a Vietnamese production facility and commencement of operations.  To date, the anticipated deadlines for completion of the construction facility, and finalization of our agreement with Soca have not been met.  Management believes that the $750,000 advance will be recoverable against production costs in the future, but the timeframe for the recovery cannot be predicted with any certainty.  As a result, we have determined that a 100% impairment allowance as at March 31, 2011 was appropriate.

In addition our net income was also negatively impacted by the write off costs relating to  two teeth whitening patents and royalty payment under the license agreement with an inventor in 2004.  The license agreement contemplated the launching of the product in the United States and provided for payment of royalties on those such sales.  The launch of the product in the United States was unsuccessful and as a result, the product was taken from the market in the United States.  Because we failed to make payments to the licensor of at least $100,000 per year, all rights to the patents reverted to the licensor effective March 31, 2006.  Accordingly, the patents have been written off as of March 31, 2011.

In addition our net income was also negatively impacted by the write off costs relating to the Universal Applicator Patent. The Company and the patent holder agreed that the Company would pay € 50.000 for the use of the Patent, payable in two payments; € 25.000 as prepaid Royalty at the signing of the agreement and € 25.000 at the moment of the first shipment of the product covered by the patent. In September 2005, the company prepaid € 25,000 as a prepaid royalty fee, as agreed in the contract. As of March 31, 2011 the Company has not yet received the final Product and therefore, $35,433 (€25,000) has been written off during the year ended March 31, 2011, as the Company did change its strategy over time and is now more focused on the Veneer market. A recovery of the prepaid royalty fee cannot be predicted with any certainty and as such we have determined to write off these costs for such amount.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Basis for Presentation

Our financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Pervasiveness of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, bad debts, inventories, fixed assets, intangible assets, stock based compensation, income taxes, and contingencies.  Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe reasonable in the circumstances.  The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an agreement with a customer; risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales allowances are estimated based upon historical experience of sales returns.

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the product is shipped and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, typically upon delivery and when the quantity and price is fixed and determinable, and when collectability is reasonable assured.

Upfront fees are recognized upon the date of the agreement (i.e. point of sale) because they relate solely to the sale of territories (that are sold in perpetuity), are non-refundable, and are not contingent upon additional deliverables.

We have evaluated all deliverables in our contracts (per ASC 605-25-5) ((a) territory & (b) manufacturing/marketing training & development fees) and determined that they are separate, as follows:

 
·
Both (a) & (b) have value to our customers on a standalone basis and can be sold by our customers separately.
 
 
·
Delivery or performance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable and substantially in our control.
 
Our development fees/milestone payments are recognized in accordance with the Milestone Method pursuant to FASB ASC 605.   Revenues from milestones related to an arrangement under which we have continuing performance obligations i.e. specifically scheduled training and development activities, if deemed substantive, are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone. Milestones are considered substantive if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the milestone is non-refundable; (b) achievement of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the arrangement; (c) substantive effort is involved to achieve the milestone; and (d) the amount of the milestone appears reasonable in relation to the effort expended. If any of these conditions is not met, the milestone payment is deferred and recognized as revenue as we complete our performance obligations.
 
We receive royalty revenues under license agreements with third parties that sell products based on technology developed by us or to which we have rights. The license agreements provide for the payment of royalties to us based on sales of the licensed product. We record these revenues as earned monthly, based on reports from our licensees.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and patents.  The recoverability of long-lived assets is evaluated by an analysis of operating results and consideration of other significant events or changes in the business environment.  If impairment exists, the carrying amount of the long-lived assets is reduced to its estimated fair value, less any costs associated with the final settlement.  To date, management has not identified any impairment of property and equipment.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions or demands for the Company’s services will not change which could result in future long-lived asset impairment.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We sell professional dental equipment to various companies, primarily to distributors located in Western Europe, the United States of America and Asia.  The terms of sales vary by customer, however, generally are 2% 10 days, net 30 days.  Accounts receivable is reported at net realizable value and net of allowance for doubtful accounts.  We use the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable.  Our estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.

Non-Controlling Interest

We adopted ASC Topic 810 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 as of April 1, 2009. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC Topic 810 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner. The adoption of ASC Topic 810 impacted the presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Research and Development Costs

We expense research and development costs as incurred.

Inventories

We purchase certain of our products in components that require assembly prior to shipment to customers. All other products are purchased as finished goods ready to ship to customers.

We write down inventories for estimated obsolescence to estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, then additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory reserves for obsolescence totaled $130,407 at March 31, 2011 and $82,335 at March 31, 2010

Patents

Patents consist of the costs incurred to purchase patent rights and are reported net of accumulated amortization. Patents are amortized using the straight-line method over a period based on their contractual lives.

Conversion of Foreign Currencies

The reporting currency for the consolidated financial statements of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for the Company’s European subsidiaries, Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V., is the Euro, for Sylphar Asia Pte Ltd. the Singapore Dollar and for Glamsmile Asia Ltd. and its subsidiaries, is the Hong Kong dollar and the Chinese RMB for China Mainland. Finally, the functional currency for Remedent Professional, Inc. is the U.S. dollar. The assets and liabilities of companies whose functional currency is other that the U.S. dollar are included in the consolidation by translating the assets and liabilities at the exchange rates applicable at the end of the reporting period. The statements of income of such companies are translated at the average exchange rates during the applicable period. Translation gains or losses are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners., including accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

Our  only component of other comprehensive income is the accumulated foreign currency translation consisting of gains and (losses) of $(184,890) and $(9,464) for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts have been recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock options using a fair-value-based method statement and recognize the resulting compensation expense in our financial statements. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model in estimating the fair value of the stock option awards issued. We measure the compensation cost of stock options and other stock-based awards to employees and directors at fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.

Except for transactions with employees and directors, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Additionally, the Company has determined that the dates used to value the transaction are either:

(1)           The date at which a commitment for performance by the counter party to earn the equity instruments is established; or

(2)           The date at which the counter party’s performance is complete.

For the year ended March 31, 2011, equity compensation in the form of stock options and grants of restricted stock totaled $113,682. For the year ended March 31, 2010, equity compensation in the form of stock options and grants of restricted stock totaled $467,908.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820 and requires disclosing the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. These changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The disclosures are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company adopted this statement as of January 1, 2010. The required disclosures are included in Note 22. Additionally, disclosures of the gross purchases, sales, issuances and settlements activity in Level 3 fair value measurements will be required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

Not Yet Adopted

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. This new guidance removes from the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance in ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, those tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. In addition, this guidance requires that hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance as well as provides further guidance on determining which software, if any, relating to the tangible product also would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance. The guidance further identifies specific factors in determining whether the tangible product contains software that works together with the non-software components of the tangible product to deliver the tangible product’s essential functions. Guidance is also provided on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement containing both tangible products and software. The disclosures mandated in ASU 2009-13 are also required by this new guidance. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. The Company has evaluated the adoption of this guidance and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 1010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17,” Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method”. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011.  The Company has evaluated the adoption of this guidance and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB updated the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose separately the investments that transfer in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for those transfers. Additionally, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), companies should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. The updated guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. As this guidance only requires additional disclosures, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 22 of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for additional information on Levels 1, 2, and 3.

In December 2010, the FASB updated the accounting guidance relating to the annual goodwill impairment test. The updated guidance requires companies to perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, when it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative. In considering whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity shall evaluate whether there are adverse qualitative factors. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to fair value measurements. The updated guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB updated the disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

Net Sales

Net sales increased by approximately 52.50% to $12,581,708 in the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $8,247,940 in the year ended March 31, 2010.  The increase in sales is primarily due to increased sales of our GlamSmile veneers and OTC products in Asia and Europe.

 
33

 

Cost of Sales

Cost of sales decreased approximately 8.7% to $3,947,699 in the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $4,322,680 in the year ended March 31, 2010.  Cost of sales as a percentage of sales has decreased because of reduced production costs of our veneer product and a non recurring settlement for returning goods from a large OTC customer which took place during the year ended March 31, 2010.

Gross Profit

Our gross profit increased by $4,708,749 or 120.0%, to $8,634,009 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $3,925,260 for the year ended March 31, 2010 as a result of increased sales.  Our gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from approximately 47.6% in the year ended March 31, 2010 to 68.6% for the year ended March 31, 2011. The increase in gross profit is the result of our directs sales in our Asian facilities which  resulted in  higher margins. Also, the launch of new higher margin OTC products had a positive impact upon our gross profit.

Operating Expenses

Research and Development.  Our research and development expenses increased $158,049 to $429,244 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $271,195 for the year ended March 31, 2010, an increase of 58.3%.  Research and development expenses have increased primarily because of our work with respect to the integration of the SensAble technology with our milling machine, and the development of a new silicone based OTC product used to visibly reduce both old and new scars, RemeScar by our OTC division.

Sales and marketing costs.  Our sales and marketing costs increased $868,426 to $2,220,686 or 64.2% for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1,352,260 for the year ended March 31, 2010.  The increase is largely due to our new Asian GlamSmile Sales Facilities.

General and administrative costs.  Our general and administrative costs for the year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 were $4,972,982 and $4,524,324 respectively, representing an increase of $448,658 or 9.9%.  The increase in general and administrative costs as compared to the prior year primarily as a result of costs associated with our Asian GlamSmile Sales Facilities.

Depreciation and amortization.  Our depreciation and amortization increased $53,384 or 7.3%, to $779,883 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $726,499 for the year ended March 31, 2010. The increase  is largely due to the investments made during the year for optimizing the existing Asian GlamSmile production facility and the new opened GlamSmile Studios

Net interest expense.  Our net interest expense was $100,946 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to $1,120 for the year ended March 31, 2010, an increase of $99,826 or 8,913%. Interest expense has increased primarily because of increased utilization of our available bank credit line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our balance sheet at March 31, 2011 reflects cash and cash equivalents of $1,662,520 as compared to $613,466 as of March 31, 2010, an increase of $1,049,054.  Net cash used by operations was $135,226 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net cash provided by operations of $232,885 for the year ended March 31, 2010, a decrease year over year of $368,111 in cash used by operations.  The increase in net cash used by operations for the year ended March 31, 2011 versus the year ended March 31, 2010 is primarily as a result of our success in the Asian market, combined with the success of our newly launched OTC products, which have been and continue to be very well received.

 
34

 

As of March 31, 2011, there has been no indication of a trend of increased doubtful accounts or slower payments.  As a result, at this time, we do not anticipate increased reserves.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities was $533,001 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net cash used by investing activities of $1,476,287 for the year ended March 31, 2010. Cash used in investing activities in the year ended March 31, 2011 was primarily for optimizing our Asian production facility and investments made in our new opened GlamSmile Studios in Asia and Europe.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,702,939 for the year ended March 31, 2011 as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $14,400 for the year ended March 31, 2010. Net cash provided from financing activities in the year ended March 31, 2011 was higher than in the year ended March 31, 2010 primarily because we received a $400,000 short term loan and because we used $1,486,074 in financing from our line of  credit.  Financing activities were offset by a net repayment of long term debt of $183,135. We did not complete any private placements in either 2011 or 2010.

The latest amendment to the Facility, dated June 7, 2010, amended and split the line of credit to €1,250,000, to be used by Remedent NV and €1,000,000 to be used Sylphar NV. Each line of credit carries its own interest rates and fees as provided in the Facility and vary from the current prevailing bank rate of approximately 3.27%, for draws on the credit line, to 9.9% for advances on accounts receivable concerning Remedent N.V. and similar for Sylphar N.V. Remedent N.V and Sylphar NV are currently only utilizing two lines of credit, advances based on account receivables and the straight loan. As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V. had in aggregate, $2,160,674 and $674,600 in advances outstanding, respectively, under the mixed-use line of credit facilities.

During the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, we recognized an increase/(decrease) in cash and cash equivalents of $14,342 and $35,197, respectively, from the effect of exchange rates between the Euro and the US Dollar.

Internal and External Sources of Liquidity

As of March 31, 2011, we had current assets of $7,354,170 compared to $4,502,576 at March 31, 2010. This increase of $2,851,594 was due to an increase in cash of $1,049,054, an increase in accounts receivable of $1,957,720,  and an increase in inventories of $2,354, offset by a decrease in prepaid expenses of $157,534.

Current liabilities at March 31, 2011 of $6,316,358 were $2,733,565 greater than current liabilities as at March 31, 2010 which was $3,582,793.  The increase was primarily as result of an increase in our line of credit by $1,486,074, an increase in short term debt of $400,000, and an increase in accrued liabilities of $764,612, an increase in deferred revenue of $475,250, offset by a decrease in the current portion of our long term debt, accounts payable and due to related parties of $30,810, $188,431 and $173,130 respectively.

As discussed in this Report, we anticipate that  we will need to raise additional funds to satisfy our work capital requirements and implement our business strategy to expand our direct to consumer business model.  We intend to continue to look for opportunities to expand the number of GlamSmile Studios in China and Europe.  In addition, we anticipate on opening two new studios in Europe, and  additional studios in China through strategic alliances and joint ventures during this fiscal year.  In the event we are unable to raise additional funds, we may draw funds from the balance remaining on our credit facility or may have to postpone our expansion plans to establish additional dental studios in Europe and China.

ITEM 9A - CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)           Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Act of 1934. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, relating to the Company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, and was made known to them by others within those entities, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at these reasonable assurance levels.

(b)           Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurances with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. Additionally, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 
36

 

As of March 31, 2011, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting established in “Internal Control — Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Based on the assessment, management determined that the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2011 based on the COSO criteria.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to permanent  rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 9B— OTHER INFORMATION

Our Board believes that Mr. Ross’ leadership and management experience at multiple companies enables him to provide our Board with critical perspectives on issues important to our business. In addition, our Board believes that our CFO should serve on the Board of Directors to facilitate direct access and open communication on issues relating to internal controls over financial reporting.

Legal Proceedings

Director Committees and Director Independence

The Company does not have a separate compensation, nominating or audit committee.  The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Kolsteeg is  “independent,” as independence is defined in the listing standards for the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Accordingly, we have one director who is “independent.”
 
Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight

The Board does not have a policy as to whether the roles of our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separate. Instead, the Board makes this determination based on what best serves the our Company’s needs at any given time.   Currently, Mr. De Vreese holds the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of our Company. and the Board has one independent director. The Board may decide to separate the positions of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in the future if the Board believes it is in the best interest of the Company and our stockholders.

The Board believes that effective board leadership is highly dependent on the experience, skills and personal interaction between persons in leadership roles.  The Company believes that having one person, particularly Mr. De Vreese  with his extensive knowledge of the industry and executive management experience, his extensive knowledge of the operations of the Company and his own commitment to innovation and strategic thinking, serve as both Chief Executive Officer and Chairman is the best leadership structure for the Company because it demonstrates to our employees, customers and stockholders that the Company is under strong leadership, with a single person setting the tone and having primary responsibility for managing the Company’s operations. Accordingly, with significant input from our Board, Mr. De Vreese sets the strategic direction for our Company and provides daily leadership and guidance to our managements and employees.  In addition, this unity of leadership promotes strategy development and execution, timely decision-making and effective management of Company resources.  The Company believes that it has been well-served by this structure.

In its governance role, and particularly in exercising its duty of care and diligence, the Board is responsible for ensuring that appropriate risk management policies and procedures are in place to protect the company’s assets and business.  Our Board has broad and ultimate oversight responsibility for our risk management processes and programs and executive management is responsible for the day-to-day evaluation and management of risks to the company.

Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our Board of Directors has not established a separate audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Instead, our entire Board of Directors acts as the audit committee within the meaning of Section 3(a)(58)(B) of the Exchange Act. In addition,  our Board of Directors has not made a determination as to whether a director on the Board meets the definition of an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K. We continue to seek  candidates for outside directors and for a financial expert to serve on a separate audit committee when we establish one. Due to our small size and limited resources, it has been difficult to recruit outside directors and financial experts, especially due to the fact that we do not have directors and officer’s liability insurance to offer suitable candidates.

In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Board has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by SAS 61. Management is responsible for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal controls. The independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.

 
39

 

The Board discussed with the independent auditors, the auditors’ independence from the management of the Company and received written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1.

After Board review and discussions, as mentioned above, the Board recommended that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Governance Committee and Nominations to the Board of Directors

There were no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our Board of Directors.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a written Code of Ethics that applies to our senior management. A copy of our Code of Ethics, executed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has been filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. A copy of our Code of Ethics is available to any stockholder by addressing a request to the attention of the Secretary of the Company and mailing such request to the Company’s corporate offices. Any amendment to the Code of Ethics or any waiver of the Code of Ethics will be disclosed promptly following the date of such amendment or waiver pursuant to a Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Compliance with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “Commission”) initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and Annual Reports concerning their ownership, of Common Stock and other of our equity securities on Forms 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by Commission regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on information available to us in public filings,  we believe that all reports required by Section 16(a) for transactions in the year ended March 31, 2011, were timely filed.

ITEM 11 — EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Summary Compensation

Our Board of Directors has not established a separate compensation committee nor any other committee that acts as such a committee. Instead, the entire Board of Directors reviews and approves executive compensation policies and practices, reviews, salaries and bonuses for our officers, administers our benefit plans, and considers other matters as may, from time to time, be referred to it. We do not currently have a Compensation Committee Charter.  Our Board continues to emphasize the important link between our performance, which ultimately benefits all stockholders, and the compensation of our executives. Therefore, the primary goal of our executive compensation policy is to closely align the interests of the stockholders with the interests of the executive officers. In order to achieve this goal, we attempt to (i) offer compensation opportunities that attract and retain executives whose abilities and skills are critical to our long-term success and reward them for their efforts in ensuring our success and (ii) encourage executives to manage from the perspective of owners with an equity stake in the Company.

The following table sets forth information regarding all forms of compensation received by the named executive officers during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively:

ITEM 13 — CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

Related Transactions

Compensation

During the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, the Company incurred $749,310 and $675,760 as compensation for all directors and officers.

Sales Transactions

One of our  directors, Stephen Ross,  owns a minority interest in a client company, IMDS Inc. Accounts receivable at year end with this customer totaled $Nil and $31,895 as at March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively. As of March 31, 2010 we had recorded a 100% allowance against our  investment in IMDS because IMDS financial information was unavailable

All related party transactions involving provision of services or tangible assets were recorded at the exchange amount, which is the value established and agreed to by the related parties reflecting arms length consideration payable for similar services or transfers.

Other Transactions

On June 3, 2009, the Company entered into the First Fit-Crown Distribution and License Agreement (the “First Fit Distribution Agreement”) with Den-Mat.  Under the terms of the First Fit Distribution Agreement, the Company appointed Den-Mat to be the its sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell certain products relating to the Company’s proprietary First Fit technology (the “First Fit Products”), in the United States, Canada and Mexico (the “First Fit Territory”).  In connection therewith, the Company also granted Den-Mat certain non-exclusive rights to manufacture and produce the First Fit Products in the First-Fit Territory; and a sole and exclusive transferable and sublicensable right and license to use the Company’s intellectual property rights relating to the First Fit Products to perform its obligations as a distributor (provided the Company retains the right to use and license related intellectual property in connection with the manufacture of the First Fit Products for sale outside of the  First Fit Territory), as the terms and transactions are further detailed in the First Fit Distribution Agreement.  The consummation of the transactions described herein and contemplated in the First Fit Distribution Agreement are subject to certain closing conditions which includes, in addition to customary closing conditions: the completion of Den-Mat’s due diligence with respect to the First Fit Products to its satisfaction; execution and delivery of  Non-Competition Agreements by Guy De Vreese and Evelyne Jacquemyns; and the delivery of the Development Payment and first installment of the License Payment (the “Development Payment” and License Payment” are defined below).  The First Fit Distribution Agreement provides that the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein will occur upon the performance or waiver of such closing conditions.  Under the First Fit Distribution Agreement, the Company granted such distribution rights, licensing rights and manufacturing rights, in consideration for the following:  (i) a non-refundable development fee of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (the “Development Payment”) payable in two installments as follows: (a) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) within seven (7) days after the effective date of the First Fit Distribution Agreement (the “Effective Date”), and (b) Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) within twenty one (21) days after the Effective Date ; (ii) a non-refundable license fee of Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($600,000) payable in three (3) equal installments of $200,000 each, with the first installment payable on the closing date contemplated in the First Fit Distribution Agreement (the “Closing Date”), and with the second and third installments payable on the 30th and 60th day, respectively, after the Closing Date; (iii) certain royalty payments based on the sales of the First Fit Products by Den-Mat or its sublicensees; and (iv) certain minimum royalty payment to maintain exclusivity, as such  terms are more particularly described in the First Fit Distribution Agreement.

 
45

 
 
On March 29, 2010, a certain Amendment No. 1 to First Fit Crown Distribution and License Agreement (“First Fit Amendment”) between the Company and Den-Mat, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to Den-Mat all of the intellectual property or used by Company related to the First Fit product (“First Fit IP”) became effectuated upon Company’s receipt of Den-Mat’s countersignatures to the First Fit Amendment.  The First Fit Amendment amends the First Fit-Crown Distribution and License Agreement dated June 3, 2009 between the Company and Den-Mat, pursuant to which Den-Mat was granted certain license and distribution rights relating to the First Fit IP and First Fit products.  The total purchase price for the First Fit IP consists of installment payments and royalty payments.  The cash component of the purchase price of the First Fit IP is $2,850,000 to be paid in the form of cash in the following installments: (a) $50,000 upon delivery by Remedent to Den-Mat of a working prototype of the First Fit crown, (b) $525,000 on or before March 15, 2010 (c) $700,000 on June 30, 2010, and (d) $500,000 on December 31, 2010, June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011. In connection with the execution of the First Fit Agreement, Den-Mat also agreed to make an advance cash payment of $75,000 to the Company towards the purchase price.  In addition to the cash component, Den-Mat agreed to pay Remedent a capital payment equal to a certain percent of Den-Mat’s net revenues generated by the sale of the First Fit products.
 
In connection with our Distribution, License & Manufacturing Agreement with Den-Mat (the “Distribution Agreement”) dated as August 2008, as amended and restated by the parties on June 3, 2009 pursuant to the Amended and Restated Distribution, License and Manufacturing Agreement, and as consideration for Den-Mat’s obligations under the Distribution Agreement, we agreed, among other things, to issue Den-Mat or an entity to be designated by Den-Mat, warrants to purchase up to three million three hundred seventy-eight thousand three hundred seventy-nine (3,378,379) shares of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share at an exercise price of $1.48 per share, exercisable for a period of five years . The warrants were  issued in the period ended September 30, 2008 and were valued at $4,323,207 based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing a market price on the date of grant of $1.48 per share, an annualized volatility of 131%, a risk free interest rate of 3.07% and an expected life of five years.  The expense was originally classified as a non-operating expense however, we have subsequently reclassified the expense to operations since our agreement with Den-Mat is in the normal course of our operations. The reclassification increased our operations expenses by $4,323,207, while reducing our other expenses by the same amount, resulting in no net impact upon our consolidated net loss for the year ended March 31,2009.

On March 29, 2010, concurrently with the execution of the First Fit Amendment (as described above), the Company and Den-Mat entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Distribution, License and Manufacturing Agreement (“Glamsmile Amendment”) with Den-Mat pursuant to which certain provisions of a certain Amended and Restated Distribution, License and Manufacturing Agreement previously entered into by the Company and Den-Mat on June 3, 2009 and subsequently amended on August 11, 2009, were amended.  The Glamsmile Amendment became effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the First Fit Amendment.  Among other things, the Glamsmile Amendment (1) permits the Company to purchase its requirements for GlamSmile Products from another party, other than Den-Mat, provided Company pays De-Mat a royalty payment on net revenues received by Company per unit/tooth, (2) decreases the percentage of securities to be covered in a warrant to purchase securities of B2C Market Subsidiary and the exercise price of such warrant to be issued to Den-Mat  in the event a B2C Market Subsidiary is formed under the terms set forth in such agreement, (3) expands the definition of “Excluded Market” to include Australia, Belgium, France and United Arab Emirates, and (4) provides a consulting fee, equal to a percentage of net revenues received by Den-Mat from the Sale of Unit/Teeth and trays, to the Company for its services, support and certain additional consideration, (5) terminates certain provisions relating to minimum requirement obligations and rights, and (6) amends the formula for calculation a certain exit fee in the event of a change of control.

Guy De Vreese, our Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, is the managing director of our subsidiary, Remedent N.V.  Mr. De Vreese provides his services as Remedent N.V.’s Managing Director through his company, Lausha, N.V.  Lausha, N.V.  has an oral consulting arrangements with Remedent N.V. that provide for Mr. De Vreese’s services and is a  company controlled by Mr. De Vreese.  On March 20, 2006, Lausha N.V. and Lident N.V. merged into Lausha N.V., controlled by Mr. De Vreese.  Lausha N.V. received a total of $333,819 and $340,000 as compensation for services relating to his duties as Managing Director of Remedent N.V. on a-day-to-day base  for the years ending March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Director Independence

Due the Company’s size and limited resources, the Company does not have a separate compensation, nominating or audit committee.  The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Kolsteeg is  “independent,” as independence is defined in the listing standards for the Nasdaq Stock Market.  Accordingly, we have one director who is “independent.”

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Remedent, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Remedent, Inc. as of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, cash flows, and comprehensive loss for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

For all periods presented, all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements and corporate administrative costs are not allocated to subsidiaries.

Pervasiveness of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, bad debts, inventories, fixed assets, intangible assets, stock based compensation, income taxes, and contingencies. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes reasonable in the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs are included as a component of cost of sales.  Shipping and handling costs billed to customers are included in sales.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an agreement with a customer; risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales allowances are estimated based upon historical experience of sales returns.

Revenues from product sales are recognized when the product is shipped and title and risk of loss has passed to the customer, typically upon delivery and when the quantity and price is fixed and determinable, and when collectability is reasonable assured.

Upfront fees are recognized upon the date of the agreement (i.e. point of sale) because they relate solely to the sale of territories (that are sold in perpetuity), are non-refundable, and are not contingent upon additional deliverables.

We have evaluated all deliverables in our contracts (per ASC 605-25-5) ((a) territory & (b) manufacturing/marketing training & development fees) and determined that they are separate, as follows:

 
·
Both (a) & (b) have value to our customers on a standalone basis and can be sold by our customers separately.
 
 
·
Delivery or performance of the undelivered item or items is considered probable and substantially in our control.
 
Our development fees/milestone payments are recognized in accordance with the Milestone Method pursuant to FASB ASC 605.  .  Revenues from milestones related to an arrangement under which we have continuing performance obligations i.e. specifically scheduled training and development activities, if deemed substantive, are recognized as revenue upon achievement of the milestone. Milestones are considered substantive if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the milestone is non-refundable; (b) achievement of the milestone was not reasonably assured at the inception of the arrangement; (c) substantive effort is involved to achieve the milestone; and (d) the amount of the milestone appears reasonable in relation to the effort expended. If any of these conditions is not met, the milestone payment is deferred and recognized as revenue as we complete our performance obligations.

We receive royalty revenues under license agreements with third parties that sell products based on technology developed by us or to which we have rights. The license agreements provide for the payment of royalties to us based on sales of the licensed product. We record these revenues as earned monthly, based on reports from our licensees.
  
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets consist primarily of patents and property and equipment. The recoverability of long-lived assets is evaluated by an analysis of operating results and consideration of other significant events or changes in the business environment. If impairment exists, the carrying amount of the long-lived assets is reduced to its estimated fair value, less any costs associated with the final settlement.  To date, management has not identified any impairment of property and equipment.  There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions or demands for the Company’s services will not change which could result in future long-lived asset impairment.

 
F-8

 
  
Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis as of March 31, or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. These impairment tests are based upon a comparison of the fair value of the reporting units to their respective carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the goodwill impairment loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of goodwill over its implied fair value. To March 31, 2011, management has not identified any impairment of goodwill.

On April 1, 2010, the Company adopted the new accounting guidance for business combinations according to FASB Codification ASC 805, Business Combinations. This guidance establishes principles and requirements for the reporting entity in a business combination, including recognition and measurement in the financial statements of the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, goodwill, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, as well as disclosure requirements to enable financial statement users to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. Additionally, it provides guidance for identifying a business combination, measuring the acquisition date, and defining the measurement period for adjusting provisional amounts recorded. The implementation of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash or cash equivalents.

Non-Controlling Interest

The Company adopted ASC Topic 810 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 as of April 1, 2009. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC Topic 810 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner. The adoption of ASC Topic 810 impacted the presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, line of credit, short term and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturities of those instruments. The Company’s long-term debt consists of its revolving credit facility and long-term capital lease obligations. The carrying value of the revolving credit facility approximates fair value because of its variable short-term interest rates.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term capital lease obligations is based on current rates for similar financing.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

The Company sells professional dental equipment to various companies, primarily to distributors located in Western Europe and the United States of America, and China. The terms of sales vary by customer, however, generally are 2% 10 days, net 30 days. Accounts receivable is reported at net realizable value and net of allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company uses the allowance method to account for uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company’s estimate is based on historical collection experience and a review of the current status of trade accounts receivable.

Inventories

The Company purchases certain of its products in components that require assembly prior to shipment to customers. All other products are purchased as finished goods ready to ship to customers.

The Company writes down inventories for estimated obsolescence to estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected, then additional inventory write-downs may be required. Inventory reserves for obsolescence totaled $130,407 at March 31, 2011 and $82,335 at March 31, 2010.

Prepaid Expense

The Company’s prepaid expense consists of prepayments to suppliers for inventory purchases and to the Belgium customs department, to obtain an exemption of direct VAT payments for imported goods out of the European Union (“EU”). This prepayment serves as a guarantee to obtain the facility to pay VAT at the moment of sale and not at the moment of importing goods at the border. Prepaid expenses also include VAT payments made for goods and services in excess of VAT payments received from the sale of products as well as amounts for other prepaid operating expenses.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major renewals and improvements are charged to the asset accounts while replacements, maintenance and repairs, which do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed. At the time property and equipment are retired or otherwise disposed of, the asset and related accumulated depreciation accounts are relieved of the applicable amounts. Gains or losses from retirements or sales are credited or charged to income.

The Company depreciates its property and equipment for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method based upon the following useful lives of the assets:

Tooling
3 Years
Furniture and fixtures
4 Years
Machinery and Equipment
4 Years
 
Patents

Patents consist of the costs incurred to purchase patent rights and are reported net of accumulated amortization. Patents are amortized using the straight-line method over a period based on their contractual lives.

Research and Development Costs

The Company expenses research and development costs as incurred.

 
F-10

 
  
Advertising

Costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising are expensed when incurred and included in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses. For the years ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, advertising expense was $709,885 and $389,632, respectively.

Income taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as stipulated by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740 formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”. 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 carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under ASC 740, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities or a change in tax rate is recognized I income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax assets are reduced to estimated amounts to be realized by the use of a valuation allowance. A valuation allowance is applied when in management’s view it is more likely than not (50%) that such deferred tax will not be utilized.

Effective February 1, 2008, the Company adopted certain provisions under ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, (“ASC 740”), which provide interpretative guidance for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Effective with the Company’s adoption of these provisions, interest related to the unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in the financial statements as a component of income taxes. The adoption of ASC 740 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

In the unlikely event that an uncertain tax position exists in which the Company could incur income taxes, the Company would evaluate whether there is a probability that the uncertain tax position taken would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities. Reserves for uncertain tax position would then be recorded if the Company determined it is probable that a position would not be sustained upon examination or if a payment would have to be made to a taxing authority and the amount is reasonably estimable. As of March 31, 2011, the Company does not believe it has any uncertain tax positions that would result in the Company having a liability to the taxing authorities.

Warranties

The Company typically warrants its products against defects in material and workmanship for a period of 18 months from shipment.

A tabular reconciliation of the Company’s aggregate product warranty liability for the reporting period is as follows:

   
Year ended
March 31, 2011
   
Year ended
March 31, 2010
 
Product warranty liability:
 
 
       
Opening balance
  $ 20,238     $ 19,806  
Reductions for payments made
               
Accruals for product warranties issued in the period
    (11,620 )     (15,056 )
Adjustments to liabilities for pre-existing warranties
    12,642       15,488  
Ending liability
  $ 21,260     $ 20,238  
 
 
F-11

 
  
Based upon historical trends and warranties provided by the Company’s suppliers and sub-contractors, the Company has made a provision for warranty costs of $21,260 and $20,238 as of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, respectively.

Segment Reporting

“Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information” requires use of the “management approach” model for segment reporting. The management approach model is based on the way a company’s management organizes segments within the company for making operating decisions and assessing performance. Reportable segments are based on products and services, geography, legal structure, management structure, or any other manner in which management disaggregates a company. The Company’s management considers its business to comprise one segment for reporting purposes.

Computation of Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per common share attributable to common stockholders assuming dilution is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding plus the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if all dilutive potential common shares had been issued.

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted changes issued by the FASB to the calculation of earnings per share. These changes state that unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and shall be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method for all periods presented. The adoption of this change had no impact on the Company’s basic or diluted net loss per share because the Company has never issued any share-based awards that contain non-forfeitable rights.

At each of March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had 19,995,969, shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  At March 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had  7,794,627 and 11,108,305 warrants outstanding, respectively and 2,157,500 and 2,268,166 options outstanding, respectively.  All outstanding warrants and options were excluded from the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  Further, pursuant to ASC 260-10-50-1(c), if a fully diluted share calculation was computed for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 respectively, it would have excluded all warrants and all but 1,165,000 options since the Company’s average share trading price during the last two year period was less than the exercise price of all other warrants and options.

Conversion of Foreign Currencies

The reporting currency for the consolidated financial statements of the Company is the U.S. dollar. The functional currency for the Company’s European subsidiaries, Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V., is the Euro, for Sylphar Asia Ptd Ltd  the Singapore Dollar and for Glamsmile Asia Ltd., and its subsidiaries, the Hong Kong dollar and the Chinese Remimbi (“RMB”) for Mainland China. Finally, the functional currency for Remedent Professional, Inc. is the U.S. dollar. The assets and liabilities of companies whose functional currency is other that the U.S. dollar are included in the consolidation by translating the assets and liabilities at the exchange rates applicable at the end of the reporting period. The statements of income of such companies are translated at the average exchange rates during the applicable period. Translation gains or losses are accumulated as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners., including accumulated foreign currency translation, and unrealized gains or losses on marketable securities.

 
F-13

 
 
The Company’s only component of other comprehensive income is the accumulated foreign currency translation consisting of gains and (losses) of $(184,890) and $(9,464) for the years ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These amounts have been recorded as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (deficit).

Stock Based Compensation
 
The Company has a stock-based compensation plan which is described more fully in Note 18. The Company measures the compensation cost of stock options and other stock-based awards to employees and directors at fair value at the grant date and recognizes compensation expense over the requisite service period for awards expected to vest.
 
Except for transactions with employees and directors, all transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Additionally, the Company has determined that the dates used to value the transaction are either:
 
(1) The date at which a commitment for performance by the counter party to earn the equity instruments is established; or
 
(2) The date at which the counter party’s performance is complete.
 
New Accounting Pronouncements
 
Recently Adopted

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements”. The ASU 2010-06 amends ASC 820 and requires disclosing the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for the transfers. These changes also clarify existing disclosure requirements on the level of disaggregation and disclosures regarding inputs and valuation techniques. The disclosures are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company adopted this statement as of January 1, 2010. The required disclosures are included in Note 22. Additionally, disclosures of the gross purchases, sales, issuances and settlements activity in Level 3 fair value measurements will be required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.

Not Yet Adopted

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011.  The Company has evaluated the adoption of this guidance and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
 
F-14

 
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-14, Certain Revenue Arrangements that Include Software Elements – a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force, which changes the accounting model for revenue arrangements that include both tangible products and software elements. This new guidance removes from the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance in ASC 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition, those tangible products containing software components and non-software components that function together to deliver the tangible product’s essential functionality. In addition, this guidance requires that hardware components of a tangible product containing software components always be excluded from the software revenue recognition guidance as well as provides further guidance on determining which software, if any, relating to the tangible product also would be excluded from the scope of software revenue recognition guidance. The guidance further identifies specific factors in determining whether the tangible product contains software that works together with the non-software components of the tangible product to deliver the tangible product’s essential functions. Guidance is also provided on how a vendor should allocate arrangement consideration to deliverables in an arrangement containing both tangible products and software. The disclosures mandated in ASU 2009-13 are also required by this new guidance. ASU 2009-14 is effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011. The Company has evaluated the adoption of this guidance and it is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In April 1010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-17,” Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method”. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the criteria that should be met for determining whether the milestone method of revenue recognition is appropriate. A vendor can recognize consideration that is contingent upon achievement of a milestone in its entirety as revenue in the period in which the milestone is achieved only if the milestone meets all criteria to be considered substantive. ASU 2010-17 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, which corresponds to the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2011.   The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In January 2010, the FASB updated the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose separately the investments that transfer in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and the reasons for those transfers. Additionally, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), companies should present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements. The updated guidance was effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the Level 3 reconciliation, which are effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. As this guidance only requires additional disclosures, the adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 22 for additional information on Levels 1, 2, and 3.
 
In December 2010, the FASB updated the accounting guidance relating to the annual goodwill impairment test. The updated guidance requires companies to perform the second step of the impairment test to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any, when it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists when the carrying amount of a reporting unit is zero or negative. In considering whether it is more likely than not that goodwill impairment exists, an entity shall evaluate whether there are adverse qualitative factors. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In May 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to fair value measurements. The updated guidance results in a consistent definition of fair value and common requirements for measurement of and disclosure about fair value between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB updated the disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this accounting guidance on its consolidated financial statements.

ACQUISITION OF GLAMSMILE ASIA LTD.

Effective January 1, 2010 the Company acquired 50.98% of the issued and outstanding shares of Glamsmile Asia Ltd. (“Glamsmile Asia”), a private Hong Kong company, with subsidiaries in Hong Kong and Mainland China, in exchange for the following consideration:

 
1.
325,000 Euro (US$466,725).  As of March 31, 2011 the full amount was paid.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company owed a balance of $71,885 on its purchase of the shares of Glamsmile Asia, which amount was recorded as due to related parties;
 
2.
250,000 shares of common stock to be issued during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011($97,500 was recorded as an obligation to issue shares as at March 31, 2010) As of March 31, 2011 the shares remain unissued.  The parties have agreed that the shares will be issued during fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
 
3.
100,000 options on closing (issued – see Note 18);
 
4.
100,000 options per opened store at closing (issued – see Note 18);
 
5.
100,000 options for each additional store opened before the end of 2011 at the price of the opening date of the store;
 
6.
Assumption of Glamsmile’s January 1, 2010 deficit of $73,302.; and
 
7.
Repayment of the founding shareholder’s original advances in the amount of $196,599.  The balance of $196,599, recorded as due to related parties at March 31, 2010, is unsecured, non-interest bearing and has no specific terms of repayment other than it will be paid out of revenues from Glamsmile, as working capital allows.  During the year ended March 31, 2011 a total of $101,245 was paid to the founding shareholder, leaving a balance due of $95,354 as at March 31, 2011.

All options reside under the Company’s option plan and are five year options.

Also pursuant to the agreement, the Company has granted irrevocable right to Glamsmile Asia to use the Glamsmile trademark in Greater China.

The Company acquired a 50.98% interest in GlamSmile Asia Ltd. (“GlamSmile Asia”) in order to obtain a platform in the Chinese Market to expand and introduce our GlamSmile Asia concept into the Chinese Market. In order to sell into the Chinese Market, an approval by Chinese Authorities is required, in the form of licenses. As GlamSmile Asia was already the owner of such licenses prior to the acquisition, this was an important advantage. We obtained control of GlamSmile Asia through the acquisition of the 50.98% interest and the appointment of our CEO as a Board member of GlamSmile Asia.

In connection with this acquisition the Company has recorded goodwill of $699,635.

* The value of the stock options was determined by using the Black-Scholes valuation model with a stock price of $0.39/share, an option price of $0.39/share, an expected life of 5 years, a volatility of 112%, a risk free rate of 1.30%, and a dividend rate of zero.

(b)       The acquisition date fair value of the total consideration transferred was allocated amongst assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest based upon their fair value at the time of acquisition.  We evaluated all current assets for collectability and because they were current and there was no history of collection problems, determined that their carrying value was equal to their fair value.  We also evaluated all current liabilities and because there was no evidence of over or under accruals, we also determined that the carrying value of the Company’s current liabilities was equal to fair value.  Lastly, we evaluated the fair value of Glamsmile’s equipment and because it was all recently acquired, i.e. within the past year, because there was no evidence of impairment, or non-functionality, and because the recorded value of the equipment was approximately equal to its replacement cost, we also determined that the carrying value of the equipment was equal to its fair value.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

Den-Mat Distribution Agreement

On August 24, 2008, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Den-Mat”).   Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company appointed Den-Mat to be the sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell certain products relating to the Company’s GlamSmile tray technology, including, but not limited to, its GlamSmile veneer products and other related veneer products (the “Products”), throughout the world, with the exception of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France (including all French overseas territories “Dom-Tom”), Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, and United Arab Emirates (collectively the “Excluded Markets”) and the China Market (the “Territory”).

As consideration for such distribution, licensing and manufacturing rights, Den-Mat will pay the Company:

 
(i)
an initial payment of $2,425,000 (received);
 
(ii)
a payment of $250,000 for each of the first three contract periods in the initial Guaranty Period, subject to certain terms and conditions;
 
(iii)
certain periodic payments as additional paid-up royalties in the aggregate amount of $500,000 (received);
 
(iv)
a payment of $1,000,000 promptly after Den-Mat manufactures a limited quantity of products at a facility owned or leased by Den-Mat;
 
(v)
A payment of $1,000,000 promptly upon completion of certain training of Den-Mat’s personnel;
 
(vi)
a payment of $1,000,000 upon the first to occur of (a) February 1, 2009 or (b) the date thirty (30) days after den-Mat sells GlamSmile Products incorporating twenty thousand (20,000) Units/Teeth to customers regardless of whether Den-Mat has manufactured such Units/Teeth in a Den-Mat facility or has purchased such Units/Teeth from the Company;
 
(vii)
certain milestone payments; and
 
(viii)
certain royalty payments.

The Company has received $548,392 in royalty payments and $3,500,000 in milestone payments, subsequent to the initial payment of $2,425,000.

Further, as consideration for Den-Mat’s obligations under the Distribution Agreement, the Company agreed to, among other things:

 
(i)
issue to Den-Mat or an entity to be designated by Den-Mat, warrants to purchase up to 3,378,379 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.48 per share, exercisable for a period of five years (the “Den-Mat Warrant”) (The warrants were  issued in the period ended September 30, 2008 and were valued at $4,323,207 based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing a market price on the date of grant of $1.48 per share, an annualized volatility of 131%, a risk free interest rate of 3.07% and an expected life of five years.  The expense was originally classified as a non-operating expense however, we have subsequently reclassified the expense to operations since our agreement with Den-Mat is in the normal course of our operations.  The reclassification increased our operations expenses by $4,323,207, while reducing our other expenses by the same amount, resulting in no net impact upon our consolidated net loss for the year ended March 31, 2009.

 
(ii)
execute and deliver to Den-Mat a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the Warrant Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which as of March 31, 2011 has not yet been filed (*); and
 
 
(iii)
cause its Chairman of the Board, Guy De Vreese, to execute and deliver to Den-Mat a non-competition agreement.
 
 
F-18

 
 
(*) In 2009, the Company and Den-Mat agreed that the shares underlying the warrants would be registered pursuant to a registration statement upon the earlier occurrence of (a) Den-Mat’s demand for the shares to be registered, or (b) an initiation and filing of a registration statement by other investors or the Company.  As of March 31, 2011, neither event has occurred to trigger a registration statement.  As a result, the Company is not under default under the distribution agreement and there is no impact on the distribution agreement or the accounting for the distribution agreement.

On June 3, 2009, the Distribution Agreement was amended and restated (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement modifies and clarifies certain terms and provisions which among other things includes:

(1) the expansion of the list of Excluded Markets to include Spain, Japan, Portugal, South Korea and South Africa for a period of time;
 
(2) clarification that Den-Mat’s distribution and license rights are non-exclusive to market, sell and distribute the Products directly to consumers through retail locations (“B2C Market”) in the Territory and an undertaking to form a separate subsidiary to and to issue warrants to Den-Mat in the subsidiary in the event that the Company decides to commercially exploit the B2C Market in North America after January 1, 2010;

(3) subject to certain exceptions, a commitment from the Company to use Den-Mat as its supplier to purchase all of its, and its licensee’s, GlamSmile products in the B2C Market from Den-Mat, with reciprocal commitment from Den-Mat to sell such products;

(4) modification of certain defined terms such as “Guaranty Period,” “Exclusivity Period” and addition of the term “Contract Period”; and

(5) the “Guaranty Period” (as defined therein) is no longer a  three year period but has been changed to the first three “Contract Periods”.  The first Contract Period commences on the first day of the Guaranty Period (which the Parties agreed has commenced as of April 1, 2009), and continues for fifteen (15) months or such longer period that would be necessary in order for Den-Mat to purchase a certain minimum number of Units/Teeth as agreed upon in the Amended Agreement (“Minimum Purchase Requirement”) in the event that the Company’s manufacturing capacity falls below a certain threshold.  The second and each subsequent GlamSmile Contract Period begins on the next day following the end of the preceding “Contract Period” and continues for twelve (12) months or such longer period that would be necessary in order for Den-Mat to meet its Minimum Purchase Requirement in the event that the Company’s manufacturing capacity falls below a certain threshold.

In August 2009, the Distribution Agreement was further amended (the “August Amendment”). The August Amendment expands the Company’s products covered under the Distribution Agreement to include the Company’s new Prego System Technology (“Prego System”), also commonly known as “Glamstrip”. Under the Amendment, the $250,000 payment which was originally due upon the expiration of the first Contract Period (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) is now due on the earlier occurrence of (i) sixty days from August 11, 2009 or (ii) the performance of the Company’s live patient clinical demonstration of the Prego System to be performed at Den-Mat’s reasonable satisfaction (received).

The August Amendment also provides for (a) the royalty rate for products manufactured and sold by Den-Mat using the Prego System after the Guaranty Period (as defined in the Distribution Agreement), (b) Den-Mat’s right to elect to manufacture or purchase from a third party manufacturer any or all portion of the minimum purchase requirements under the Distribution Agreement provided however, that if Den-Mat fails to purchase the minimum number of Units/Teeth as required during any month, Den-Mat may cure such default by paying the Company a certain royalty on the difference between the minimum purchase requirement and the amount actual purchased by Den-Mat during such month, with such royalties accruing and being due and payable upon the earlier occurrence of either (1) one hundred twenty days from August 11, 2009 or (2) the successful performance of the Company’s live patient demonstration of the First Fit Technology licensed to Den-Mat pursuant to the First Fit-Crown Distribution and License Agreement, to be performed at Den-Mat’s reasonable satisfaction; and all shortfall payments thereafter being due and payable within 15 days after the end of the month in which shortfall occurred, and (c) Den-Mat’s option to purchase a certain number of Prego Systems in lieu of Trays during each of the first three Contract Periods pursuant to the terms, including price and conditions, set forth in the Amendment so long as such option is exercised during the period commencing on August 11, 2009 and ending on the later of either 91 days or 31 days after the Company demonstrates to Den-Mat that it has the capacity to produce a certain number of Prego System per Contract Period. Furthermore under the Amendment, if Den-Mat fails to purchase the required minimum Trays during any Contract Period, such failure may be cured by payment equal to the difference between the aggregate purchase price that would have been paid had Den-Mat purchased the required minimum and the aggregate purchase price actually paid for such Contract Year within 30 days after the end of such Contract Period. With the exception of the provisions amended by the Amendment, the Distribution Agreement remains in full force and effect.

First Fit Distribution Agreement

On June 3, 2009, the Company entered into the First Fit-Crown Distribution and License Agreement (the “First Fit Distribution Agreement”) with Den-Mat.  Under the terms of the First Fit Distribution Agreement, the Company appointed Den-Mat to be its sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell certain products relating to the Company’s proprietary First Fit technology (the “First Fit Products”), in the United States, Canada and Mexico (the “First Fit Territory”).  In connection therewith, the Company also granted Den-Mat certain non-exclusive rights to manufacture and produce the First Fit Products in the First-Fit Territory; and a sole and exclusive transferable and sub-licensable right and license to use the Company’s intellectual property rights relating to the First Fit Products to perform its obligations as a distributor (provided the Company retains the right to use and license related intellectual property in connection with the manufacture of the First Fit Products for sale outside of the  First Fit Territory).

Consummation of the First Fit Distribution Agreement is subject to: completion of Den-Mat’s due diligence; execution and delivery of Non-Competition Agreements; and the delivery of the Development Payment and first installment of the License Payment (the “Development Payment” and License Payment” are defined below).

Under the First Fit Distribution Agreement, the Company granted such distribution rights, licensing rights and manufacturing rights, in consideration for the following:  (i) a non-refundable development fee of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (the “Development Payment”) payable in two installments of $50,000 each, one within seven days after the effective date of the First Fit Distribution Agreement, and another $350,000 payment within twenty one days after the Effective Date ($400,000 received as at June 30, 2009); (ii) a non-refundable license fee of $600,000 payable in three equal installments of $200,000 each, with the first installment payable on the Closing Date, and with the second and third installments payable on the 30 th and 60 th day, respectively, after the Closing Date (received); (iii) certain royalty payments based on the sales of the First Fit Products by Den-Mat or its sub-licensees; and (iv) certain minimum royalty payments to maintain exclusivity.

Den-Mat’s rights as an exclusive distributor and licensee will continue at least through the first Contract Period (defined below) and until the termination of the First Fit Distribution Agreement.  Den-Mat’s exclusivity ends at the end of any Contract Period in which Den-Mat fails to make certain minimum royalty payments.  In the event that such exclusivity is terminated, Den-Mat has the option to either terminate the First Fit Distribution Agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice, or become a non-exclusive distributor and licensee, in which event Den-Mat’s obligation to pay certain agreed upon royalties would continue.  “Contract Period”  means the following periods: (A) the first eighteen months beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs, provided that if Den-Mat is not fully operational within sixty days after the Closing Date, the first Contract Period will be extended by one day for each day after the sixtieth day until Den-Mat becomes fully operational; (B) the subsequent twelve months; and (C) each subsequent twelve month period thereafter, in each case during which the First Fit Distribution Agreement is in effect.

 
F-20

 
 
On March 29, 2010, a certain Amendment No. 1 was made to the First Fit Distribution Agreement dated June 3, 2009.  The terms of Amendment No. 1 are as follows:

The total purchase price for the First Fit IP consists of installment payments and royalty payments.  The cash component of the purchase price of the First Fit IP is $2,850,000 to be paid in the form of cash in the following installments: (a) $50,000 upon delivery by Remedent to Den-Mat of a working prototype of the First Fit crown (received); (b) $525,000 on or before March 15, 2010 (received); (c) $700,000 on June 30, 2010(received); and (d) $500,000 on December 31, 2010(received), June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 (see Note 4). In connection with the execution of the First Fit Agreement, Den-Mat also agreed to make an advance cash payment of $75,000 to the Company towards the purchase price (received).  In addition to the cash component, Den-Mat agreed to pay Remedent a royalty payment equal to a certain percent of Den-Mat’s net revenues generated by the sale of the First Fit products.

Concurrently with the execution of the First Fit Amendment, the Company and Den-Mat entered into Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated Distribution, License and Manufacturing Agreement (“Glamsmile Amendment”) with Den-Mat pursuant to which certain provisions of a certain Amended and Restated Distribution, License and Manufacturing Agreement previously entered into by the Company and Den-Mat on June 3, 2009 and subsequently amended on August 11, 2009, were amended.  The Glamsmile Amendment became effective concurrently with the effectiveness of the First Fit Amendment on February 16, 2010 (the “Amendment No. 2 Effective Date”).  Among other things, the Glamsmile Amendment (1) permits the Company to purchase its requirements for GlamSmile Products from another party, other than Den-Mat,  provided the Company pays Den-Mat a royalty payment on net revenues received by the Company per unit/tooth, (2) decreases the percentage of securities to be covered in a warrant to purchase securities of B2C Market Subsidiary and the exercise price of such warrant to be issued to Den-Mat  in the event a B2C Market Subsidiary is formed under the terms set forth in such agreement, (3) expands the definition of “Excluded Market” to include Australia, Belgium, France and United Arab Emirates, and (4) provides a consulting fee, equal to a percentage of net revenues received by Den-Mat from the Sale of unit/teeth and trays, to the Company for its services, support  and certain additional consideration, (5) terminates certain provisions relating to minimum requirement obligations and rights, and (6) amends the formula for calculation of a certain exit fee in the event of a change of control.  The parties further agreed that an advance of $25,000 against the Consulting Fees shall be paid to Remedent upon execution of this Amendment, which amount shall be promptly refunded to Den-Mat if this Amendment does not become binding on or before the end of the 30 day period commencing February 16, 2010.  The Company received the $25,000 from Den-Mat in February 2010 and the Amended Agreement became binding.

6. 
CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Financial Instruments — Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are normally limited due to the number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographic areas. At March 31, 2011 five customers accounted for a total of  61% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable and one of those customers accounted for 24.6% of total accounts receivable.  At March 31, 2010 four customers accounted for a total of 12.2%, 10.6%, 9.4% and 6.7% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and normally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

Purchases — The Company has diversified its sources for product components and finished goods and, as a result, the loss of a supplier would not have a material impact on the Company’s operations. For the year ended March 31, 2011, the Company had five suppliers who accounted for 37% of gross purchases. For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company had five suppliers who accounted for 20% of gross purchases.  

 
F-21

 
 
Revenues — For the year ended March 31, 2011 the Company had five customers that accounted for 37.14% of total revenues. For the year ended March 31, 2010 the Company had two customers that accounted for 45.2% and 11.4% respectively of total revenues.

LONG TERM INVESTMENTS AND ADVANCES
  
Soca Networks Singapore (“Soca”)

Pursuant to the terms of a letter of intent dated December 17, 2007, the Company has agreed to purchase 20% of Soca for a total purchase price of $750,000. Half of the purchase price has been advanced $375,000 to Soca as a down payment, pending completion of the agreement terms.  The balance of $375,000 cash was paid to Soca in March of 2008.  Finalization of the 20% acquisition was dependent upon completion of a Vietnamese production facility and commencement of operations.  To date, the anticipated deadlines for completion of the construction facility, and finalization of our agreement with Soca have not been met.  Management believes that the $750,000 advance will be recoverable against production costs in the future, but the timeframe for the recovery cannot be predicted with any certainty.  As a result, the Company has determined that a 100% impairment allowance as at March 31, 2011 is appropriate.

LICENSED PATENTS

Teeth Whitening Patents

In October 2004, the Company acquired from the inventor the exclusive, perpetual license to two issued United States patents which are applicable to several teeth whitening products currently being marketed by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to manufacture, market, distribute and sell the products contemplated by the patents subject to the payment of $65,000 as reimbursement to the patent holder for legal and other costs associated with obtaining the patents, which was paid in October 2004, and royalties for each unit sold subject to an annual minimum royalty of $100,000 per year. The Company is amortizing the initial cost of $65,000 for these patents over a ten year period and accordingly had recorded $35,750 of accumulated amortization for this patent as of March 31, 2010.

The Exclusive Licensing Agreement contemplated launching the product in the United States and provided for payment of royalties on those US sales.  The launch of the product in the US was unsuccessful and as a result, the product was taken from the US market.  Because the Company failed to make payments to the Licensor of at least $100,000 USD per year, all rights to the patents reverted to the licensor effective March 31, 2006.  Accordingly, the patents have been written off.

Universal Applicator Patent

In September 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Lident N.V. (“Lident”), a company controlled by Mr. De Vreese, the Company’s Chairman, to obtain an option, exercisable through December 31, 2005, to license an international patent (excluding the US) and worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights for a potential new product which Lident had been assigned certain rights by the inventors of the products, who are unrelated parties, prior to Mr. De Vreese association with the Company. The patent is an Italian patent which relates to a single use universal applicator for dental pastes, salves, creams, powders, liquids and other substances where manual application could be relevant. The Company has filed to have the patent approved throughout Europe. The agreement required the Company to advance to the inventors through Lident a fully refundable deposit of €100,000 subject to the Company’s due diligence regarding the enforceability of the patent and marketability of the product, which, if viable, would be assigned to the Company for additional consideration to the inventors of €100,000 and an ongoing royalty from sales of products related to the patent equal to 3% of net sales and, if not viable, the deposit would be repaid in full by Lident. The consideration the Company had agreed to pay Lident upon the exercise of the option is the same as the consideration Lident is obligated to pay the original inventors. Consequently, Lident would not have profited from the exercise of the option. Furthermore, at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors on July 13, 2005, the Board accepted Lident’s offer to facilitate an assignment of Lident’s intellectual property rights to the technology to the Company in exchange for the reimbursement of Lident’s actual costs incurred relating to the intellectual property. Consequently, when the Company exercises the option, all future payments, other than the reimbursement of costs would be paid directly to the original inventors and not to Lident.

On December 12, 2005, the Company exercised the option and the Company and the patent holder agreed to revise the assignment agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay €50,000 additional compensation in the form of prepaid royalties instead of the €100,000 previously agreed, €25,000 of which was paid by the Company in September 2005 and the remaining €25,000 is to be paid upon the Company’s first shipment of a product covered by the patent. As of March 31, 2011 the Company has not yet received the final Product and therefore, $35,433 (€25,000) has been written off during the year ended March 31, 2011. Further, the patent has been completely amortized over five (5) years and accordingly, the Company has recorded $118,840 of accumulated amortization for this patent as of March 31, 2011.

13.
LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a mixed-use line of credit facility with BNP Paribas Fortis Bank, a Belgian bank (the “Facility”).  The Facility is secured by a first lien on the assets of Remedent N.V. and Sylphar Holding.  On January 3, 2008, an amendment was made decreasing the mixed-use line of credit to €2,050,000, to be used by Remedent NV and/or Sylphar NV. Each line of credit carries its own interest rates and fees as provided in the Facility and varies from the current prevailing bank rate

The latest amendment to the Facility, dated June 7, 2010, amended and split the line of credit to €1,250,000, to be used by Remedent NV and € 1,000,000 to be used Sylphar NV. Each line of credit carries its own interest rates and fees as provided in the Facility and vary from the current prevailing bank rate of approximately 3.27%, for draws on the credit line, to 9.9% for advances on accounts receivable concerning Remedent N.V. and similar for Sylphar N.V. Remedent N.V and Sylphar NV are currently only utilizing two lines of credit, advances based on account receivables and the straight loan. As of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010, Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V. had in aggregate, $2,160,674 and $674,600 in advances outstanding, respectively, under the mixed-use line of credit facilities.

The third lease contract requires monthly payments of principal and interest at 9.40% of €1,761 (US $2,496 at March 31, 2011) and provides for buyout at the conclusion of the three year term of €634 (US $899) or 1% of the original value of this contract.

The fourth lease contract requires monthly payments of principal and interest at 8.18% of €5,052 (US $7,160 at March 31, 2011) and provides for buyout at the conclusion of the three year term of €1,728 (US $2,449) or 1% of the original value of this contract.

In most cases, management expects that in the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or replaced by other leases.

The net book value as of March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010 of the equipment subject to the foregoing leases are $458,236 and $641,371 respectively.

The following is a schedule by years of future minimum lease payments under capital leases together with the present value of the net minimum lease payments as of March 31, 2011:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The FASB ASC topic 820 on fair value measurement and disclosures establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (referred to as Level 1), observable inputs other than Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly (referred to as Level 2), and unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities (referred to as Level 3).

The following method was used to estimate the fair values of our financial instruments:
 
The carrying amount of level 1 and level 2 financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of the instruments.
 
Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. Level 3 financial assets also include certain investment securities for which there is limited market activity such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
 
The Company reviews the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the ability to observe valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers into and out of levels within the fair value hierarchy at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the actual event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer occurs. There were no significant transfers between Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011 or March 31, 2010. When a determination is made to classify an asset or liability within Level 3, the determination is based upon the significance of the unobservable inputs to the overall fair value measurement. The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the item measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the table above that used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

RESTRUCTURING OF OTC BUSINESS

To effectuate the restructuring Plan relating to the management led buyout of the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) business the Company entered into the following series of related agreements:

On December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Sylphar USA, Inc., a newly incorporated Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sylphar USA”), pursuant to which the Company made a capital contribution of certain assets and liabilities relating to the OTC business which was valued at $460,568 to Sylphar USA in exchange for 460,568 shares of common stock, par value $1.00, of Sylphar USA.

 
F-31

 
 
On December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Remedent, NV, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of Belgium (“Remedent NV”), pursuant to which the Company purchased a 99% ownership interest in Sylphar, NV, a subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of Belgium, from Remedent NV.  As a result of the Sylphar Purchase Agreement, Sylphar NV became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the 99 shares (“Sylphar Shares”), the Company agreed to pay Remedent NV €1,881,000, which was based on the valuations provided by an independent assessor, by executing an unsecured non-interest bearing promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) on behalf of Remedent NV for the principal amount of €1,000,160 (the “Debt”) and having the remainder balance of €880,840 reflected on the existing intercompany account between Remedent NV and the Company.

Then pursuant to a Deed of Contribution, the Company transferred all of the Company’s ownership interest in its OTC operating subsidiaries, consisting of Sylphar USA, Sylphar Asia Pte Ltd (formerly Remedent Asia Pte Ltd), Sylphar NV (“OTC Subsidiaries”), into Remedent OTC BV, a Dutch holding company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Remedent OTC”) in exchange for €1,000,160.

Subsequent to the contribution of the OTC Subsidiaries to Remedent OTC, the Company sold fifty percent (50%) of its interest in Remedent OTC to Robin List, a former Chief Executive Officer, President and Director of the Company, in exchange for 723,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company held by Mr. List (“Exchanged Shares”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement on December 10, 2008.  The Exchanged Shares were returned to treasury.  The Exchanged Shares were valued at $1.15 per share, based upon the Company’s share value at the time of the agreement, for an aggregate value of $831,450.   As a result, Mr. List and the Company equally own 50% of Remedent OTC with the Company currently controlling Remedent OTC through its board representations pursuant to the terms of a certain Voting Agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. List concurrently with the Share Purchase Agreement.  The Voting Agreement provides that, the Company will initially have 2 board representations and Mr. List will have 1 board representation.  However upon the occurrence of a “Triggering Event” (as defined in the Voting Agreement), the Company will have 1 board representation and Mr. List will have 2 board representations.

On December 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Investment and Shareholders’ Agreement with Remedent OTC, Concordia Fund V.C., a non-affiliated Dutch private equity fund (“Concordia”), Mr. List, Sylphar Holding, BV, a Dutch holding company and wholly owned subsidiary of Remedent OTC (“Sylphar Holding”) and the OTC Subsidiaries pursuant to which Concordia agreed to purchase shares of Sylphar Holding from Remedent OTC representing a 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €1,000,000 and invest an additional €1,000,000 in Sylphar Holding for an additional 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding, representing an aggregate ownership interest of 25% in Sylphar Holding. Furthermore, Concordia was granted a call option exercisable from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2010, unless otherwise extended to September 30, 2011 pursuant to the terms of such agreement, to purchase an additional 24% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €2,000,000 or any pro rata portion thereof.  The shares of Sylphar Holding are subject to certain drag along rights in the event there is an offer to purchase such shares.  It was further agreed upon that the €1,000,000 received from Concordia would be used to pay off the Debt.  Such funds were received from Concordia and used to pay off the Debt in December 2008.  Subsequently, all of the OTC Subsidiaries were transferred and are currently held and operated by Sylphar Holding.

In fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Company transferred its 50% ownership interest to Remedent N.V. in exchange for reduction of intercompany debt between Company and Remedent N.V.

24.  DEFERRED REVENUE

In September 2010, we entered into a license agreement with Excelsior Medical (HK) (“EM” and the “EM license agreement”).
