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, 2013 were $504,788.

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 net 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 (consisting of outstanding common stock options) for the period.

	8

MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

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,
	2013	2012
Basic shares	7,182,866	7,005,360
Dilutive effect of stock options	-	292,330
Diluted shares	7,182,866	7,297,690

Excluded from the calculations 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 share in 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, 2013 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 1,898,079 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2013.

3. Comprehensive (Loss)/Income

Total comprehensive(loss)/income, which includes results of discontinued operations, was ($884,002) and $44,834 for three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There are no components of comprehensive (loss)/income other than net (loss)/income 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, 2013 and 2012, the Company granted options to purchase 249,000 and 261,200 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $144,000 and $99,000, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized in the general and administrative expenses line item of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $1,975,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.2 years.

Cash in the amount of $116,905 was received from the exercise of stock options for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The fair values of the options granted during the periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 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,
	2013			2012
Risk-free interest rate		3.3	%		2.5	%
Expected option life in years		6.5			6.5
Expected stock price volatility		76.1	%		74.7	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Weighted-average fair value of options granted	$	3.76		$	2.33

The expected option term is based upon the number of years the Company estimates the option will be outstanding 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.

Changes in outstanding stock options during the three months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:

	Options
			Weighted
			Average
		Weighted	Remaining
		Average	Contractual	Aggregate
	Number of	Exercise	Life	Intrinsic
	Shares	Price ($)	(years)	Value (a)
Outstanding as of June 30, 2013	1,729,991	3.65
Granted	249,000	4.68
Exercised	(33,212)	3.52
Forfeited	(500)	2.96
Expired	(47,200)	4.70
Outstanding as of September 30, 2013	1,898,079	3.76	5.7	$	2,083,029
Exercisable and vested at September 30, 2013	1,203,730	3.72	4.3	$	1,429,851
Available for grant at September 30, 2013	606,225

(a)	Intrinsic value for purposes of this table represents the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock, based on the respective market prices at September 30, 2013 or if exercised, the exercise dates, exceeds the exercise prices of the respective options.

5. Income Taxes

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an income tax expense in continuing operations of $2,750.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 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, 2013.

As of September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits or accrued interest and penalties.

6. Inventories

Inventories are summarized as follows:

	September 30,		June 30,

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 an unfavorable ruling 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 year in which the ruling occurs.

On July 19, 2011, Misonix entered into a Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Puricore, Inc. (“Puricore”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company had been granted the right to distribute PuriCore’s Vashe ^® solution products in the United States, on a private label basis and known as the Misonix Soma product, as an antibacterial, antimicrobial irrigating solution for the treatment of human wound care in conjunction with therapeutic ultrasonic procedures (the “Field”). PuriCore had agreed, subject to modification, not to sell the products that were 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 had 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 had Exclusivity.

The Distribution Agreement was for a three (3) year term with automatic renewals for successive two (2) year periods; provided that the Company and PuriCore had 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 would have been no less favorable than the twelve (12) months leading up to the start of such renewal period. In no event would the Distribution Agreement have survived beyond the expiration or invalidation of all of PuriCore’s patents.

During the initial three year term of the Distribution Agreement, the Company was 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 was subject to downward adjustment and elimination in the event that (i) PuriCore chose to eliminate Exclusivity, (ii) the Company’s right to manufacture the Licensed Products under certain conditions had been triggered but the Company was 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 had made a final determination that prohibited the sale of the Licensed Products for use in the Field.

During our fiscal fourth quarter 2013, the Company sent a notice to terminate the Distribution Agreement due to management’s belief that the products subject to the Distribution Agreement were non-conforming. Puricore disputed the Company’s ability to terminate the Distribution Agreement.On October 11, 2013, the Company and Puricore mutually terminated the Distribution Agreement and signed a Settlement Agreement resolving all issues without the payment of any monies by either party.A reversal of the previously accrued and unpaid contractual minimum gross profit requirement in the amount of $439,508 will be made in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 as a result of the Settlement Agreement.

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, 2013 and June 30, 2013:

September 30, 2013	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	4,653,513	$	4,653,513
Trade accounts receivable		2,799,336		2,799,336
Trade accounts payable		1,601,445		1,601,445

June 30, 2013	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,806,437	$	5,806,437
Trade accounts receivable		2,974,641		2,974,641
Trade accounts payable		2,208,999		2,208,999

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.

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, 2013, 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 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 product lines. 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. The Company determined that there were no indicators that the recorded goodwill was impaired as of September 30, 2013 which required further testing.

The cost of acquiring or processing patents is capitalized. 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 $577,326 and $568,823 at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $574,847 and $554,923 at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $19,000 and $18,000, respectively.

Net customer relationships reported in intangible and other assets totaled $320,000 and $360,000 at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Accumulated amortization amounted to $480,000 at September 30, 2013 and $440,000 at June 30, 2013, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was $40,000. Customer relationships are 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, 2013:

			Customer
	Patents		Relationships
2014	$	58,391	$	120,000
2015		72,883		160,000
2016		69,821		40,000
2017		67,637		-
2018		67,211		-
Thereafter		241,383		-

Three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Net sales: Net sales decreased $1,494,941 to $3,075,584 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $4,570,525 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in sales is related to lower BoneScalpel revenue of $752,573, lower SonaStar revenue of $436,968, lower SonicOne revenue of $31,923, lower Lysonix revenue of $102,157, lower service revenue of $106,558 and other lower revenue of $64,761. However, there were twelve units consigned in the United States during the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to four units for the same period in fiscal 2013. This resulted in an increase in domestic disposables excluding Aesculap, Inc. accounts.

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, 2013 and 2012:

	Three months ended September 30,

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased to 56.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from 59.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease is related to unabsorbed factory costs due to lower sales volume, along with an unfavorable sales channel mix, as there was a shift to higher foreign sales.

Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $370,266 to $1,828,830 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,458,564 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Selling expenses increased due to higher personnel costs of $111,945, primarily from an increase in headcount for customer service and support (including severance), higher travel expenses of $50,621, higher commission expense of $111,881 due to increases in commissionable sales, higher advertising expenses of $41,045, higher depreciation expenses of $42,486 and other unfavorable expenses of $12,288.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased $178,983 to $1,221,211 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $1,042,332 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily related to higher non-cash stock-based compensation expense of $44,999, higher legal expense of $86,748 and higher accounting expense of $27,025 and other unfavorable expenses of $20,211.

Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $75,757 to $472,888 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $397,131 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase is primarily due to higher product development costs of $50,709, higher temporary help expense of $16,076 and other unfavorable expenses of $8,972.

Other income (expense): Other income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $906,552 as compared to $211,417 for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in other income of $695,135 is mainly due to an increase in royalty income of $690,115 from Covidien plc.

Income taxes: For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded an effective tax rate of (.3%), compared to 3.7%, for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The Company estimates its financial statement effective tax rate for the full year, inconclusive of discontinued operations 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.

PuriCore Settlement:

As previously disclosed, the Company had entered into a Product License and Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2011 (the “Distribution Agreement”), with PuriCore, Inc. (“PuriCore”). Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company had the right to distribute PuriCore’s Vashe ^® solutions product in the United States on a private label basis under the name “Soma.” Disputes between the Company and Puricore were finally resolved on October 11, 2013 when the parties executed a Settlement Agreement pursuant to which the Distribution Agreement was terminated with no additional payments required to be made by either Misonix or PuriCore (the “Settlement Agreement”). As a result of entering into the Settlement Agreement, the Company is no longer obligated to pay PuriCore the remaining minimum gross profit requirement in the amount of $439,508 in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. Previously, all appropriate amounts had been recorded by the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

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, 2013 and June 30, 2013 was $9,278,000 and $9,717,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash used in operations totaled $1,240,452, primarily related to operating losses of $888,977, lower accounts payable and other accrued expenses of $855,675, partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $231,271, stock-based compensation of $143,944 and lower prepaid expenses and other assets of $117,120. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash used in investing activities was $34,352, primarily due to applications for additional patents. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $116,905 from the exercise of stock options. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, cash provided by discontinued operations was $4,975.

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 are 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

There have been no recently issued pronouncements that have or are expected to have a material impact on our financial statements. 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.
