Discontinued Operations

 

Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products Business

 

On October 19, 2011, Misonix sold its Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business, which comprised substantially all of the Laboratory and Scientific products segment, to Mystaire, Inc. (“Mystaire”) for $1.5 million in cash plus a potential additional payment of up to an aggregate $500,000 based upon 30% of net sales in excess of $2.0 million for each of the three years following the closing (the “earn-out”). The Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business manufactured and marketed ductless fume, laminar airflow and polymerase chain reaction workstations both domestically and internationally with revenues for fiscal 2011 of approximately $2.1 million.

 

In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement with Mystaire, Misonix retained among other items, the existing accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business. After considering the proceeds received of $1,500,000 in cash, professional fees of $25,000 in connection with the sale and the net book value of the assets sold of $24,000, which is comprised primarily of property and equipment, Misonix reported a gain on sale of $1,451,000 and recorded income taxes of $478,000 on the gain during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The earn-out will not be factored into the gain on sale until it is earned by Misonix.

 

In accordance with the terms of the Transition and Manufacturing Services Agreement with Mystaire, which was entered into as part of the sale, Misonix continued for a period of six weeks to manufacture and deliver products for orders received prior to the closing date as well as to provide product to Mystaire as transition inventory, which transition period was completed on November 30, 2011. The remaining inventory as of November 30, 2011 will be utilized by Mystaire over a period of six months from the closing date and Mystaire will pay Misonix its cost for the inventory as the inventory is utilized with any remaining inventory at the end of the six month period sold to Mystaire for $1,000. As of March 31, 2012 the carrying value of the remaining inventory aggregated approximately $85,218. Management believes that the carrying value of the inventory continues to be recoverable.

 

The results of operations of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business will be presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented as Misonix does not have any significant cash flow or continuing involvement in this business. Following the sale of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business, the Company operates in one reportable segment, Medical Devices.

 

Labcaire Systems

 

On August 4, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire Systems, Ltd. ("Labcaire") subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited ("PuriCore Limited") for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million at closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million, payable in equal installments of $250,000 on the next four anniversaries of the closing. During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company received the first installment. The note receivable was discounted over the four years using a 4% imputed interest rate. This rate was consistent with published discounts. The discounted value of the note ($900,000) was used to determine gain or loss on the sale and the remaining outstanding balance is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, with the current portion reflected as a component of notes receivable. The Company was also to receive a commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on December 31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through Automated Endoscope Reprocessing ("AER") and Drying Cabinet products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate commission payable to the Company was also to be subject to a maximum payment of $1,000,000. The aggregate commission was not recognized in determining the gain or loss on the sale of Labcaire until the commission was to be paid. As of June 30, 2011, there were no commissions paid. For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of Labcaire of $295,879. Results of Labcaire operations have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.

 

In January 2011, PuriCore Limited initiated a lawsuit against the Company in the High Court of Justice, Queens Bench Division, Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice, London, England (Claim No. 2011-42) (the "Lawsuit"). In the Lawsuit, PuriCore Limited claimed damages from the Company in respect of breach of warranties contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 4, 2009 (the "SPA"), pursuant to which the Company sold Labcaire to PuriCore Limited. PuriCore Limited claimed damages of £2,167,000 or approximately $3,600,000, plus interest and its legal costs. The Company denied the allegations contained in the Lawsuit.

 

On July 19, 2011, PuriCore Limited and the Company reached an agreement to settle the Lawsuit (the "Settlement"). The Settlement provides that the Company (i) forgive in full PuriCore Limited and PuriCore plc's obligation under the SPA to pay up to $1,000,000 of the previously unrecorded, contingent commissions (as described above); (ii) pay PuriCore, Inc. ("PuriCore"), an affiliate of PuriCore Limited, $650,000 towards PuriCore Limited's legal costs which had been accrued for as of June 30, 2011 and recorded as a component of loss from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2011 and (iii) enter into a Product License and Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2011, with PuriCore (the "Distribution Agreement").

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company has been granted the right to distribute PuriCore's Vashe solution products in the United States, on a private label basis, as an irrigating solution for the treatment of human wound care in conjunction with therapeutic ultrasonic procedures (the "Field"). PuriCore has agreed, subject to modification, not to sell the products that are the subject of the Distribution Agreement (the "Licensed Products") to any other therapeutic ultrasound company for distribution in the Field in the United States ("Exclusivity"). The Company has agreed not to sell or distribute in the United States in the Field any irrigating solution that has anti-microbial properties other than the Licensed Products so long as the Company has Exclusivity.

 

The Distribution Agreement is for a three (3) year term with automatic renewals for successive two (2) year periods; provided that the Company and PuriCore have agreed upon sales volume targets for each renewal period (such volume targets not to increase by more than ten (10%) percent year over year unless otherwise agreed) and provided that the cost terms shall be no less favorable than the twelve (12) months leading up to the start of such renewal period. In no event will the Distribution Agreement survive beyond the expiration or invalidation of all of PuriCore's patents.

 

During the initial term of the Distribution Agreement, the Company is obligated to either purchase or pay a minimum of $2,000,000 in gross margin value to PuriCore for the Licensed Products (the "Minimum Payment"). The Minimum Payment is subject to downward adjustment and elimination in the event that (i) PuriCore chooses to eliminate Exclusivity, (ii) the Company's right to manufacture the Licensed Products under certain conditions has been triggered but the Company is unable to manufacture the Licensed Products or to have the Licensed Products manufactured for it by third parties or (iii) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has made a final determination that prohibits the sale of the licensed products for use in the Field. As of March 31, 2012, Misonix has purchased Licensed Products from Puricore aggregating approximately $222,750 in gross margin value to PuriCore, leaving a balance of $1,777,250. At the start of fiscal 2012, the discounted value of the note was $650,000. During fiscal 2012, Misonix has purchased $255,477 of Licensed Products from Puricore, which has been offset against the note, leaving a note receivable balance of $394,523.

 

The Company has the right to manufacture the Licensed Products if PuriCore is unable to meet certain performance standards and will pay PuriCore a royalty after the $2,000,000 in gross margin value requirement has been satisfied if the Company is then manufacturing the Licensed Products.

 

During a renewal period, PuriCore may terminate the Distribution Agreement if (i) the Company fails to purchase the agreed upon volume target for such renewal period and does not cure such failure in accordance with the Distribution Agreement or (ii) upon twelve (12) months’ notice.

 

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Technology

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company received $254,788 related to an earn-out from the May 2010 sales of its rights to the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (“HIFU”) technology to USHIFU, LLC (“USHIFU”), which has been recorded as a component of gain on the sale of discontinued operations during the period.

 

In consideration for the sale, Misonix will receive up to approximately $5.8 million, paid out of an earn-out of 7% of gross revenues received by USHIFU related to the business being sold up to the time the Company has received the first $3 million and thereafter 5% of the gross revenues up to the $5.8 million. Commencing 90 days after each December 31^st and beginning December 31, 2011, the payments will be the greater of (a) $250,000 or (b) 7% of gross revenues received up to the time the Company has received the first $3 million and thereafter 5% of gross revenues up to the $5.8 million.

Results of Discontinued Operations

 

The following represents the results of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business along with legal and other expenses associated with Labcaire and Misonix HIFU Technologies Limited which are included in discontinued operations:

 

		For the three months ended								For the nine months ended
		March 31,								March 31,
		2012				2011				2012				2011
Revenues		$	28,588			$	440,383			$	1,455,791			$	1,667,236
(Loss) from discontinued operations, before tax		$	(214,313	)		$	(173,950	)		$	(551,011	)		$	(439,022	)
Gain on sale of discontinued operations			254,788				-				1,705,414				-
Income tax benefit/(expense)			21,314				-				(380,437	)			-
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations net of tax		$	61,789			$	(173,950	)		$	773,966			$	(439,022	)

 

Current assets of discontinued operations are comprised of accounts receivable of $0 and $202,285 and inventories of $85,218 and $648,813 at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Long term assets of discontinued operations are comprised entirely of property and equipment at June 30, 2011. Current liabilities of discontinued operations are comprised entirely of accounts payables and accrued expenses at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011.

 

Accounts Receivable

 

Accounts receivable, principally trade, are generally due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors aging reports, collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.

 

 2. Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic income (loss) per common share (“basic EPS”) is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per common share (“diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding (principally outstanding common stock options) for the period.

 

The number of weighted average common shares used in the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS were as follows:

 

		For the nine months ended								For the three months ended
		March 31,								March 31,
		2012				2011				2012				2011
Basic shares			7,001,381				7,001,370				7,001,404				7,001,370
Dilutive effect of stock options			—				—				—				—
Diluted shares			7,001,381				7,001,370				7,001,404				7,001,370

 

Diluted EPS for the nine months and three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 presented is the same as basic EPS, as the inclusion of the effect of common share equivalents then outstanding would be anti-dilutive. For this reason, excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS are outstanding options to purchase 1,824,680 and 1,810,550 shares of common stock for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

3. Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

Total comprehensive loss was $(78,488) and $(214,625) for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2012 and $(2,085,490) and $(531,478) for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2011, respectively. There are no components of comprehensive loss other than net loss for all periods presented.

 

4. Stock-Based Compensation

 

Stock options are granted with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our common stock at the time of the grant, with an exercise term (as determined by the committee administering the applicable option plan (the “Committee”)) not to exceed 10 years. The Committee also determines the vesting period for the Company’s stock options. Generally, such stock options have vesting periods of immediate to four years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria, and upon a change in control. During the nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company granted options to purchase 233,750 and 294,500 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for the nine month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $256,000 and $207,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $87,000 and $76,000, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized in the general and administrative expenses line item of the Company’s statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $785,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

 

There was no cash received from the exercise of stock options for the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. Cash flows from tax benefits attributable to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows.

 

The fair values of the options granted during the periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the following weighted average assumptions during the respective periods:

 

 

		For the nine months ended
		March 31,
		2012				2011
Risk-free interest rate			3.4	%			4.1	%
Expected option life in years			6.5				6.5
Expected stock price volatility			75.4	%			77.9	%
Expected dividend yield			0	%			0	%
Weighted-average fair value of options granted		$	1.75			$	1.61

 

The expected life was based on historical exercises and terminations. The expected volatility for the expected life of the options is determined using historical price changes of the Company’s common stock over a period equal to that of the expected life of the options. The risk free rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected dividend yield is 0% as the Company has historically not declared dividends and does not expect at this time to declare any in the future.

Changes in outstanding stock options during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 were as follows:

 

										Weighted
										Average
						Weighted				Remaining
						Average				Contractual				Aggregate
		Number of				Exercise				Life				Intrinsic
		Shares				Price				(years)				Value (a)
Outstanding as of June 30, 2011			1,795,415			$	4.06
Granted			233,750				2.19
Forfeited			(1,000	)			2.13
Expired			(203,485	)			6.07
Outstanding as of March 31, 2012			1,824,680				3.60				6.0				80,131
Exercisable and vested at March 31, 2012			1,247,618				4.29				5.0				38,198
Available for grant at March 31, 2012			433,950

 

(a)	Intrinsic value for purposes of this table represents the amount by which the fair value of the underlying common stock, based on the respective market prices at March 31, 2012 or if exercised, the exercise dates, exceeds the exercise prices of the respective options.

 

5. Income Taxes

 

There are no federal, state or foreign income tax audits in process as of March 31, 2012. Open tax years related to federal and state income tax filings are for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The Company files state tax returns in New York and Colorado and its tax returns in those states have never been examined. The Company's U.K. subsidiary, Misonix Limited, files tax returns in England. The England Inland Revenue Service has not examined these tax returns.   As of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits.

 

As of March 31, 2012, the valuation allowance was determined by estimating the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this assessment, the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies. Based on these considerations, management concluded that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be fully realized.

 

6. Inventories

 

Inventories are summarized as follows:

 

		March 31,				June 30,
		2012				2011
Raw material		$	2,391,588			$	1,845,667
Work-in-process			1,105,270				1,173,639
Finished goods			1,595,886				491,015
			5,092,744				3,510,321
Less valuation reserve			512,721				380,114
		$	4,580,023			$	3,130,207

Other			114,237				143,665
		$	1,059,013			$	1,969,078

 

8. Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company and its subsidiaries are from time to time involved in ordinary and routine litigation.   Management presently believes that the ultimate outcome of these proceedings, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or result of operations.  Nevertheless, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings could occur.  An unfavorable ruling could include money damages and in such event, could result in a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations.

 

9. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

 

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date.

 

Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

 

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.

 

The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2012:

 

March 31, 2012		Carrying Amount				Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents		$	5,931,028			$	5,931,028
Trade accounts receivable			2,001,156				2,001,156
Trade accounts payable			1,172,801				1,172,801
Note receivable – short term			204,523				204,523
Note receivable – long term (included in other assets)			190,000				190,000

 

June 30, 2011		Carrying Amount				Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents		$	6,881,093			$	6,881,093
Trade accounts receivable			2,085,972				2,085,972
Trade accounts payable			1,110,694				1,110,694
Note receivable – short term			210,000				210,000
Note receivable – long term (included in other assets)			440,000				440,000

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value:

 

Cash and cash equivalents

 

The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.

 

Trade Accounts Receivable

 

The carrying amount of trade receivables reflects net recovery value and approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

 

Trade Accounts Payable

 

The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

 

Note Receivable

 

The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value because the discount rate is fair market value.

 

Non-financial assets and liabilities

 

Certain non-financial assets and liabilities, principally goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when evidence of impairment exists. At March 31, 2012 and for the three months then ended, no fair value adjustments or material fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.

 

10. Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company's acquisitions of assets of Fibra Sonics, Inc. (“F-S”).

 

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. We review goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually and whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or products. Application of these impairment tests requires significant judgments, including estimation of cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted-average cost of capital. Changes in the projected cash flows and discount rate estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation of goodwill could materially affect the determination of fair value at acquisition or during subsequent periods when tested for impairment. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal 2011. There were no indicators that the recorded goodwill was impaired as of March 31, 2012 which required further testing.

On October 7, 2010, the Company and Aesculap, Inc. (“Aesculap”) entered into a Termination, Amendment and Buy-Back Agreement to Distributor Agreement (the "Termination Agreement"). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate, as of October 15, 2010 (the "Termination Date"), (i) Misonix's remaining obligations under the Distributor Agreement dated November 1999 between Aesculap and F-S, as amended (the "Distributor Agreement"), and (ii) Aesculap's rights to sell procedure packs (the "Sale Rights") to the Sonastar Customers (as defined below). On the Termination Date, in consideration of the purchase and sale of (i) Aesculap's current service contracts ("Sonastar Contracts") for the products (the "Products") that are the subject of the Distributor Agreement, customer list and customers currently evaluating the Products all with respect to the sale and servicing of the Products (the "Customer List") and (ii) the Sale Rights, Misonix paid Aesculap $800,000. Misonix assumed all rights, responsibilities and obligations pursuant to and under the (i) Sonastar Contracts and Customer List and (ii) the Sale Rights, including, without limitation, the sale of accessory Products and servicing and training of the Products to the customers with Sonastar Contracts (the "Sonastar Customers"). Misonix also agreed to repurchase from Aesculap the current inventory of (i) new Products held by Aesculap at the price Aesculap paid for such Products and (ii) used Products held by Aesculap for demonstration and/or loaner purposes at the prices equal to Aesculap's book value as of July 31, 2010 for such Products. The purchase price for the current inventory acquired was $519,000 and was payable in four quarterly installments beginning on December 31, 2010, all of which has been paid as of March 31, 2012. Aesculap also agreed to certain non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions for an eighteen (18) month period.

 

The Company has determined that the acquisition did not constitute a business combination. Accordingly, it has been recorded as an asset acquisition with the aggregate cost of $1,319,000 assigned to the assets acquired based upon their relative fair values. The Company has allocated $259,000 of the cost to inventory, $260,000 of the cost to equipment which will be amortized over a three year period on a straight-line basis and $800,000 to customer relationships which will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period.

 

The cost of acquiring or processing patents is capitalized at cost. This amount is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets, which is approximately 17 years. Net patents reported in other assets totaled $568,495 and $548,016 at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $461,578 and $420,359 at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization expenses for the three month periods ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $18,000 and $17,000, respectively. Amortization expenses for the nine month periods ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $41,000 and $48,000, respectively.

 

Net customer relationships reported in other assets totaled $560,000 and $680,000 at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization amounted to $240,000 at March 31, 2012 and $120,000 at June 30, 2011. Amortization expenses for the three month periods ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $40,000 and $40,000, respectively. Amortization expenses for the nine month periods ending March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was $120,000 and $80,000, respectively. Customer relationships are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period.

 

The following is a schedule of estimated future amortization expense as of March 31, 2012:

 

						Customer
		Patents				Relationships
2012		$	17,792			$	40,000
2013			70,038				160,000
2014			67,394				160,000

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, to modify goodwill impairment testing for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount. Under the amended guidance, an entity must consider whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount. If it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the second step of the goodwill impairment test in ASC 350-20-35 must be performed to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. This standard was effective for goodwill impairment analysis for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and became effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and International Financial Reporting Standards. This guidance amends U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, and they include those that clarify the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions, some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S.  GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way. This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the guidance and does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 

 

In June 2011, the FASB amended Accounting Standard Codification 220, Comprehensive Income.  The amendment eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  In accordance with the amendment, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements.  Additionally, reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income will be presented on the face of the financial statements.  The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which for the Company is July 1, 2012, with full retrospective application required.  As a result, the adoption of this standard will change how we present other comprehensive income (loss), which has been historically presented as part of our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

 

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Under the revised guidance, companies testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If companies determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the revised guidance and does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Misonix and its subsidiaries, in which we refer to the Company as "Misonix", "we", "our", and "us", should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements included in Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Report and Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 20, 2011, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 ("2011 Form 10-K"). Item 7 of the 2011 Form 10-K describes the application of our critical accounting policies, for which there have been no significant changes as of March 31, 2012.

 

Forward Looking Statements

 

This Report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward looking statements contained in this Report will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results specifically discussed in the forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the absence of anticipated contracts, higher than historical costs incurred in the performance of contracts or in conducting other activities, product mix in sales, results of joint ventures and investments in related entities, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and the outcome of legal proceedings as well as management business decisions.

 

Nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Net sales: Net sales increased $1,769,885 to $10,377,480 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $8,607,595 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to sales of the Company's Bone Scalpel™ products and SonaStar product revenues, partially offset by reduced revenue for the Autosonix product.

 

Set forth below are tables showing the Company’s net sales by (i) product category and (ii) geographic region for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

The Company sells its products in the marketplace on the basis of full capital sales and reduced sales prices on leases which are accompanied with a commitment for adjusted disposable prices and terms.

 

Gross profit: Gross profit increased to 59.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from 57.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to lower sales of low margin AutoSonix products.

 

Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $919,698 to $3,620,079 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from $2,700,381 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.  Selling expenses increased primarily due to higher commissions, higher employee-related expenses due to increased head count and higher advertising and depreciation expenses due to the rental/lease units in the field. 

 

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased $60,104 from $3,334,338 in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 to $3,274,324 in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 mainly due to lower accounting expenses, lower legal and lower headcount related expenses.

 

Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses decreased $148,749 from $1,095,733 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 to $964,984 in the nine months March 31, 2012 primarily due to lower product development and consulting expenses.

 

Other income (expense): Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was $549,421 as compared to $577,693 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, a decrease of $28,272 due to lower royalty income from Covidien Ltd. 

 

Income taxes: The effective tax rate was 25% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, as compared to an effective tax rate of (3%) for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The continuing operations effective rate of 25% is predicated on the application of the exception to the general intraperiod tax allocation guidance due to forecasted fiscal 2012 loss from continuing operations and income from discontinued operations. The tax benefit recognized in continuing operations is based on the application of the annual estimated effective tax rate while the tax in discontinued operations is recorded in the nine month period ended March 31, 2012. The Company expects the tax in discontinued operations will be principally offset with a tax benefit from continuing operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

 

Three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

Net sales: Net sales increased $456,975 to $3,609,746 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 from $3,152,971 for the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to sales of the Company's BoneScalpel, Sonastar, products and service revenue, partially offset by lower Autosonix revenue.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

 

We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations and possible future public or private debt and/or equity offerings. At times, we evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that are complementary to ours, which may require the use of cash. We believe that our cash, other liquid assets and access to equity capital markets, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating expenditures. In the event that they do not, we may require additional funds in the future to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may primarily seek to raise such additional funds through the sale of public or private equity and/or debt financings. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available in the future or that if available, such financing will be obtainable on favorable terms when required.

 

Working capital at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was $10,884,000 and $10,233,000, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, cash used in operations totaled $1,685,000 primarily due to an operating loss of $852,000 and increased inventory of $1,185,000, partially offset by lower prepaid expenses of $349,000. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, cash used in investing activities totaled $657,000 due to the combination of the acquisition of fixed assets and the purchase of assets from Aesculap, Inc. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, cash used in financing activities was $11,104.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to the Company.

 

Other

 

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the operations of the Company.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market Risk:

 

The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest rates on short-term investments.

 

Interest Rate Risk:

 

The Company earns interest on cash balances and pays interest on debt incurred. In light of the Company's existing cash, results of operations, and projected borrowing requirements, the Company does not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012 and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
