NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

Basis of Presentation.   The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Article 8 of Rule S-X.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods indicated.  You should read these condensed consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, filed with the SEC on October 12, 2011.  The June 30, 2011 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Media Sciences International, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  As of September 30, 2011, there have been no significant changes to any of the Company’s accounting policies as set forth in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year ending June 30, 2012.

Nature of Business and Discontinued Operations.  Media Sciences International, Inc. is a holding company which conducts its business through its operating subsidiaries.  The Company was a manufacturer of business color printer supplies and industrial ink applications, which the Company distributed through a distribution channel and direct to original equipment manufacturers.  On November 8, 2010, the Company  sold substantially all of its toner assets to Katun Corporation and one of its subsidiaries, including inventory, fixed assets and intangibles, as well as its business name and trademarks, for approximately $11 million cash of which the net carrying amount of these assets was $7.9 million.  Of the purchase price approximately $1.1 million is to be held in escrow for a fifteen month period to cover certain indemnity claims.  Certain indemnity claims are limited to no more than $2.0 million dollars for a three year time period after which there is no indemnity coverage.  The Company entered into a non-compete agreement with Katun precluding it from selling toner based products for a period of three years.  The Company also entered into a licensing arrangement with Katun whereby it could continue to use the Company’s corporate name and other intellectual property.  The Company has reclassified all of its activity related to the toner business as discontinued operations for all periods presented prior to the sale.

On April 22, 2011, Media Sciences International, Inc., Media Sciences, Inc. and Xerox Corporation entered into an agreement settling a patent infringement lawsuit before the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Case No. 06CV4872.  Under the terms of the settlement, all claims of the parties in the litigation were resolved by the exchange of releases that the Company received from Xerox and that the Company provided to Xerox, and additional consideration exchanged between the parties.  The settlement agreement was deemed entered into and became effective on April 22, 2011, and the parties agreed to apply for an order granting consent dismissal of the litigation.  Under the terms of the settlement, the parties resolved, on mutually agreeable terms, infringement claims on certain Xerox-held patents related to the shape of the ink sticks, and the parties exchanged certain other business and financial considerations.  The Company has delivered to Xerox certain inventory and assets related to industrial ink and has assigned certain patent and other intellectual property rights to Xerox.  The Company has ceased manufacturing its inks for use in Xerox color printers and has effectively exited the ink business.  Each party bore its own fees, costs and expenses relating to the litigation.  The gain from the settlement included settlement proceeds from Xerox of $4,950,000, plus transition service fees of $134,600 and less the net carrying amount of assets of $2,624,705.  The Company has reclassified all of its activity related to the ink business as discontinued operations for all periods presented prior to the settlement.

The Company is no longer actively engaged in any material operations and the Board of Directors has authorized a proposal for a plan of liquidation to be presented for shareholder action at a meeting of shareholders that is  scheduled for December 29, 2011.  There can be no assurances, however, that the proposal will be approved, and if approved, the ultimate amount of net assets available for distribution to shareholders.

Estimates and Uncertainties.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management 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.  The Company’s most significant estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of the financial statements relate to income taxes, income tax valuation allowance, warranty reserves, and certain accrued expenses.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

MEDIA SCIENCES INTERNATIONAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
NOTE 1 –BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS (CONTINUED):

Fair Value Measurements.  The Company measures fair value in accordance with authoritative guidance for fair value measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  The authoritative guidance defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants.  As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, there exists a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

·  
Level 1 – unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
·  
Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
 
·  
Level 3 – unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments.  The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents and accounts payable reasonably approximate their fair value due to the relatively short maturities of these instruments.  The fair value estimates presented herein were based on market or other information available to management.  The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a significant effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Restricted Cash.  At September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, restricted cash was $1,059,479 and $1,059,371, respectively.  The balances were restricted due to funds held in escrow in conjunction with an indemnity clause related to the sale of toner assets (see Nature of Business and Discontinued Operations above).

Income Taxes.   The Company recognizes deferred tax assets, net of applicable valuation allowances, related to net operating loss carry-forwards and certain temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities related to certain temporary differences.  The Company recognizes a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is considered to be more likely than not.  The Company has incurred substantial losses before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and substantial losses from continuing operations before income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2011.  The Company provided a valuation allowance during fiscal year 2010 for substantially all of its then remaining deferred tax assets as it was deemed more likely than not that certain federal net operating loss carry forwards and other future deductible temporary differences included in the Company’s deferred tax assets would not be realized.
 
NOTE 2 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2011, the FASB issued Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220):  Presentation of Comprehensive Income.  This update eliminated the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  The amendment requires an entity to present either in one continuous statement of net income and other comprehensive income or in two separate, but consecutive statements.  This standard becomes effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2011.  We are currently evaluating the impact of the implementation of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

  $     $ 55,942  

As of September 30, 2011, the unrecorded deferred stock-based compensation balance was $0 after estimated forfeitures.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company did not grant any stock options or shares of restricted stock.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted 100,002 stock options with a grant date fair value of $12,780 after estimated forfeitures.  During the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company granted 50,000 shares of restricted stock with a grant date fair value of $14,982 after estimated forfeitures.

Valuation Assumptions

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and the straight-line attribution approach with the following weighted-average assumptions:

NOTE 5 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION (CONTINUED)

Authoritative guidance issued by the FASB requires the use of option pricing models that were not developed for use in valuing employee stock options. The Black-Scholes option-pricing model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-lived exchange traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable.  In addition, option-pricing models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the option’s expected life and the price volatility of the underlying stock.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the expected stock price volatility assumption was determined using the Company’s historic volatility.

The Company uses the simplified method suggested by the SEC in authoritative guidance for determining the expected life of the options.  Under this method, the Company calculates the expected term of an option grant by averaging its vesting and contractual term.  Based on studies of the Company’s historic actual option terms, compared with expected terms predicted by the simplified method, the Company has concluded that the simplified method yields materially accurate expected term estimates.  The Company estimates its applicable risk-free rate based upon the yield of U.S. Treasury securities having maturities similar to the estimated term of an option grant, adjusted to reflect its continuously compounded “zero-coupon” equivalent.

Equity Incentive Program

The Company’s equity incentive program is a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain qualified management and technical employees, and align stockholder and employee interests.  The equity incentive program presently consists of three plans (the “Plans”): the Company's 1998 Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “1998 Plan”); the Company’s 2006 Stock Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the “2006 Plan”); and the Company’s 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”).  Under these Plans, non-employee directors, officers, key employees, consultants and all other employees may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s stock, restricted stock units and other types of equity awards.  Under the equity incentive program, stock options generally have a vesting period of three to five years, are exercisable for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of issuance and are not granted at prices less than the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the grant date.  Restricted stock units may be granted with varying service-based vesting requirements.

Under the Company’s 1998 Plan, 1,000,000 common shares were authorized for issuance through awards of options or other equity instruments.  An aggregate of 323,385 shares were issued under the plan, and options to purchase 181,398 shares were outstanding at September 30, 2011.  The 1998 Plan expired on June 17, 2008, and no further awards may be made under the plan.  Under the Company’s 2006 Plan, 1,000,000 common shares are authorized for issuance through awards of options or other equity instruments.  As of September 30, 2011, 316,227 common shares were available for future issuance under the 2006 Plan.  Under the Company’s 2009 Plan, 1,250,000 common shares are authorized for issuance through awards of options or other equity instruments.  As of September 30, 2011, 187,998 common shares were available for future issuance under the 2009 Plan.

At September 30, 2011, none of the Company’s exercisable options were in-the-money.  Accordingly, all outstanding and exercisable options at that date had no aggregate intrinsic value.  No options were exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2011.

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $0, as no stock options were granted.  The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the three months ended September 30, 2010 was $0.21.

The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares.

Restricted Stock Units

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors did not approve any new grants of restricted stock.

As of September 30, 2011, there was $0 of total unrecognized deferred stock-based compensation after estimated forfeitures related to non-vested restricted stock units granted under the Plans.
 
NOTE 6 – ACCRUED PRODUCT WARRANTY COSTS

The Company provides a warranty for all of its consumable supply products.  The Company’s warranty stipulates that it will pay reasonable and customary charges for the repair of a printer needing service as a result of using the Company’s products.  The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized.  Factors that may affect the warranty liability and expense include the number of units shipped to customers, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims and cost per claim.  The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of the recorded warranty liability and adjusts the amount as necessary.  The Company continues to warrant its products sold prior to discontinuing its operations (see Note 1) and did not sell the liability with the respect to those operations.  This liability relates exclusively to operations which have been discontinued and the liability is included in liabilities of discontinued operations on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Media Sciences International, Inc. was a manufacturer of color toner cartridges and solid inks for use in business color printers.  Our products were distributed through an international network of dealers and distributors.  Through two unrelated transactions in the year ending June 30, 2011, we sold one of our product lines and exited the other.  On November 8, 2010, the Company sold substantially all of its toner assets to Katun Corporation and discontinued selling toner based products.  On April 22, 2011, and unrelated to the Katun transaction, the Company entered into an agreement with Xerox settling a patent infringement lawsuit, after which the Company ceased manufacturing its inks for use in Xerox color printers and effectively exited the ink business.  As a result, we currently have no substantive operations and the Board of Directors has authorized a proposal for a plan of liquidation to be presented for shareholder action at a meeting of shareholders presently scheduled for December 29, 2011.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Selling, General and Administrative, excluding Depreciation and Amortization.   Selling, general and administrative expense, exclusive of depreciation and amortization, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period last year, decreased by $212,000 or 36% to $374,000 from $586,000.  This decrease is primarily the result in compensation expenses related to the change in corporate structure.

Depreciation and Amortization.   Non-manufacturing depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period last year, decreased by $2,000 or 24% to $5,000 from $7,000.  The decrease in non-manufacturing depreciation and amortization expense reflects the decline in our non-manufacturing fixed asset additions over the comparative periods.

Interest Expense.   For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we earned interest income of $100.  This compares with interest expense of $75,000, for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  This change was the result of year-over-year decreases in the Company’s level of debt.

Discontinued Operations.  Discontinued operations are related to the toner product line that was sold to Katun as well as the industrial ink product line that was transferred to Xerox and the phaser ink product line that was exited as a result of the settlement of the lawsuit with Xerox.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had a pre-tax loss from discontinued operations of $333,000.  For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we had a pre-tax income from discontinued operations of $67,000.

Income Taxes.   For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $2,000 from continuing operations.  This represents the minimum taxes due. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded income tax expense of $39,000 from discontinued operations.  This represents the deferred tax liability exposure which had previously been offset against the deferred tax assets to be recorded as a long term liability on our balance sheet.

Net Loss.   For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we incurred a net loss of $714,000 ($0.05 per share basic and diluted).  This compares with a net loss of $685,000 ($0.05 per share basic and diluted) for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, included in Item 1 of Part I of this report, for a full description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the expected dates of adoption and estimated effects on our consolidated financial statements, which is incorporated herein by reference.
 
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

For a description of our critical accounting policies see Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) and  Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 (Financial Statements and Supplementary Data) of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, filed October 12, 2011.  There were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies during the three months ended September 30, 2010.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,479,000 to $2,634,000.  Operating activities used $1,542,000 while Investing and Financing activities provided $68,000 from the sale of property and equipment.

We utilized $1,542,000 of cash in our operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to providing $581,000 during the comparative three months ended September 30, 2010.  The $1,542,000 of cash utilized by operating activities during the three months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from a $714,000 loss from operations, less non-cash charges totaling $45,000, and $873,000 of cash utilized as a result of an increase in our non-cash working capital (current assets less cash and cash equivalents net of current liabilities). The most significant drivers behind the $873,000 decrease in our non-cash working capital include: (1) a $947,000 decrease in our trade obligations and other accrued expenses; (2) a $23,000 decrease in our accrued product warranties; (3) a $127,000 decrease in our accounts receivable; and (4) a $53,000 decrease in our accrued compensation and benefits during the quarter.

SOME SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING FUTURE LIQUIDITY

Our liquidity could be significantly affected by future legal fees and other costs as the Company currently does not have any material ongoing operations.


 
16

 

FUTURE FINANCING REQUIREMENTS

Management believes that cash on hand will be sufficient to meet the Company’s obligations and fund its day-to-day operations for the next twelve months.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

We currently do not plan to invest in any material capital expenditures over the next twelve months.

SEASONALITY

Historically, we have not experienced significant seasonality in our business.

Reference is made to the information set forth in Item 7A (Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk) in our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, filed October 12, 2011.

ITEM 4.   CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.  As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our President and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.  Based on such evaluation, our principal executive officer and chief financial officer has concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its principal executive officer and chief financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting.  There have been changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  During the fiscal quarter, our Chief Financial Officer also assumed the office of President and is serving as the Company’s principal executive officer.  As  one individual is now responsible for the functions of a principal executive and principal financial officer, the board of directors is now providing not only oversight regarding the internal control process but also has designated a board member, a former principal executive officer of the Company who may be deemed not independent (for purposes hereof utilizing Nasdaq independence standards), to participate actively in the internal control process in order to review financial reporting.  These changes have not materially affected, nor are they reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
