A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is identified in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2012 Annual Report. There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies subsequent to June 30, 2012.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 was comprised primarily of property and equipment, Misonix reported a gain on sale of $1,451,000 and recorded income taxes of $242,000 on the gain during the fiscal year ended June 30, 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.

 

 

MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 (Unaudited)

 

The results of operations of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business have been 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. 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.

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 (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 antibacterial, microbial 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 three year 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 September 30, 2012, Misonix incurred approximately $495,000 towards the minimum payment, leaving a minimum payment balance of $1,505,000. At the start of fiscal 2013, the value of the note was $298,117. During fiscal 2013, Misonix purchased $173,250 of Licensed Products from Puricore, which has been offset against the note, leaving a note receivable balance of $124,867.

 

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 (i) if 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

 

In consideration for the May 2010 sale of its rights to the high intensity focused ultrasound technology to USHIFU LLC (“USHIFU”), 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. Total payments through September 30, 2012 were $254,788. There were no payments received during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012.

 

Results of Discontinued Operations

 

		For the three months ended
		September 30,
		2012				2011
Revenues		$	4,975			$	521,957
Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, before tax		$	6,318			$	(79,956	)
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations net of tax		$	6,318			$	(79,956	)

 

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. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock

 

Basic net income (loss) per common share ("basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share ("diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net 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 three months ended
		September 30,
		2012				2011
Basic shares			7,005,360				7,001,370
Dilutive effect of stock options			292,330				—
Diluted shares			7,297,690				7,001,370

 

Excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS are options to purchase 690,780 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The excluded shares are any shares for which the average stock price for the quarter or year-to-date is less than the exercise price of the outstanding options in the period in which the Company has net income.

 

Diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2011 presented is the same as basic EPS, as the inclusion of the effect of common share equivalents then outstanding would be anti-dilutive due to the reported net loss. For this reason, excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS are outstanding options to purchase 2,029,165 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

 

3. Comprehensive Income/(Loss)

 

Total comprehensive income/(loss) was $44,834 for three months ended September 30, 2012 and a loss of $883,942 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. There are no components of comprehensive income/(loss) other than net income/(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 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 three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company granted options to purchase 261,200 and 233,750 shares of the Company's common stock, respectively.

 

Stock-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $99,000 and $82,000, 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 September 30, 2012, there was approximately $1,200,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

 

There was no cash received from the exercise of stock options for three month periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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 three months
		ended
		September 30,
		2012				2011
Risk-free interest rate			2.5	%			3.4	%
Expected option life in years			6.5				6.5
Expected stock price volatility			74.7	%			75.4	%
Expected dividend yield			0.0	%			0.0	%
Weighted-average fair value of options granted		$	2.33			$	1.75

 

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 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 to declare any in the future.

5. Income Taxes

 

For the three months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $1,500 which consisted of state taxes. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4,960 which primarily consisted of state taxes.

 

The Company’s effective tax rate on continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was 3.7% and (.6%), respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 the effective rate on continuing operations varied from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to permanent book tax differences, state taxes and a change in the valuation allowance.

 

The Company established a valuation against the deferred tax asset in prior years when management concluded that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset may not be fully realized. Management’s deferred tax asset assessment is unchanged as of September 30, 2012.

 

As of September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits and accrued interest and penalties.

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 in the period in which the ruling occurs.

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 September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012:

 

September 30, 2012		Carrying Amount				Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents		$	6,662,667			$	6,662,667
Trade accounts receivable			2,612,171				2,612,171
Trade accounts payable			925,684				925,684
Note receivable – short term			74,867				74,867
June 30, 2012			Carrying Amount				Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents		$	6,273,015			$	6,273,015
Trade accounts receivable			3,158,084				3,158,084
Trade accounts payable			1,507,695				1,507,695
Note receivable – short term			198,117				198,117

 

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 September 30, 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 is 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, estimation of the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted-average cost of capital. We primarily use a discounted cash flow model in determining fair value, which consists of level three inputs. 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. There were no indicators that the recorded goodwill was impaired as of September 30, 2012 which required further testing.

 

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 intangible and other assets totaled $560,904 and $561,507 at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $497,625 and $479,517 at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ending September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was approximately $18,000 and $16,000, respectively.

 

Net customer relationships reported in intangible and other assets totaled $480,000 and $520,000 at September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization amounted to $320,000 at September 30, 2012 and $280,000 at June 30, 2012, respectively.  Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011 was $40,000 and $40,000, respectively. Customer relationships will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period.

 

The following is a schedule of estimated future amortization expense as of September 30, 2012:

 

Fiscal year ended,						Customer
June 30,		Patents				Relationships
2013		$	54,083			$	120,000
2014			69,723				160,000
2015			64,160				160,000
2016			61,098				40,000
2017			60,157				-
Thereafter			251,683				-
		$	560,904			$	480,000

 

11. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). This guidance amends U.S. GAAP to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in 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 adoption of the guidance did not 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 us is July 1, 2012, with full retrospective application required. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

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.

 

 

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

 

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, 2012, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 ("2012 Form 10-K"). Item 7 of the 2012 Form 10-K describes the application of our critical accounting policies, for which there have been no significant changes as of September 30, 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, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and the outcome of legal proceedings as well as management business decisions.

 

Three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Net sales: Net sales increased $1,353,326 to $4,570,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $3,217,199 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in sales was primarily attributable to sales of the Company's BoneScalpel™ products.

 

Set forth below are tables showing the Company’s net sales by (i) product category and (ii) geographic region for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

		Three months ended September 30,
		2012				2011				Variance
BoneScalpel		$	2,101,161			$	655,686			$	1,445,475

Middle East			66,208				131,285
		$	4,570,525			$	3,217,199

 

Gross profit: Gross profit increased to 59.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from 54.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 due to higher margin sales of the Company’s BoneScalpel products and lower sales of the low margin Autosonix products.

 

Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $278,312 to $1,458,564 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $1,180,252 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Selling expenses increased due to higher personnel costs of $188,540 and higher commission expenses of $86,470.

 

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased $125,488 to $1,042,332 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $1,167,820 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease in expenses is related to lower legal expenses of $77,221 and lower employee expenses of $69,386, partially offset by higher consulting fees of $9,243 and higher employment fees of $9,314.

 

Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $87,157 to $397,131 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 from $309,974 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase is due to higher salary expenses of $51,782 and higher product development costs of $34,690.

 

 

Other income (expense): Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $211,417 as compared to $95,228 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The increase in other income is related to higher royalty income of $85,544 and lower royalty expense of $24,872.

 

Income taxes: In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company’s continuing operations effective tax rate was 3.7% as compared to (.6%) in the first quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company estimates its financial statement effective tax rate for the full year to be approximately 1%. The actual effective rate for continuing operations may vary materially based on several factors including the realization of earn-outs recorded in discontinued operations and the related intraperiod tax allocation, the ratio of permanent differences to pretax income (loss), and a change in the valuation allowances as well as other factors.

 

Discontinued Operations

 

See Note 1 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in Part 1, Item 1 for a description of the discontinued operations. The following summarizes the results of the discontinued operations:

 

		For the three months ended
		September 30,
		2012				2011
Revenues		$	4,975			$	521,957
Income/(loss) from discontinued operations, before tax		$	6,318			$	(79,956	)
Net income/(loss) from discontinued operations net of tax		$	6,318			$	(79,956	)

 

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 seek to raise such additional funds through the sale of public or private equity and/or debt financings, and divestiture of current business lines as well as from other sources. 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 September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012 was $12,010,000 and $11,734,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cash provided by operations totaled $442,000, primarily due to lower inventory of $293,000, lower prepaid expenses of $103,000 and income from operations of $39,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, cash used in investing activities totaled $42,000 due to the acquisition of fixed assets. For the three months ended September 30, 2012, no cash was used or provided by financing activities.

 

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 September 30, 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.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in the Company's internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
