Escalon Medical Corp. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(UNAUDITED)

1. Basis of Presentation

Escalon Medical Corp. (“Escalon” or the “Company” ) is a Pennsylvania corporation initially incorporated in California in 1987, and reincorporated in Pennsylvania in November 2001. Within this document, the “Company” collectively shall mean Escalon and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonomed, Inc. (“Sonomed”), Trek, Inc. (“Trek”), Escalon Medical Europe GmbH (“EME”), Escalon Digital Solutions, Inc. (“EMI”), Escalon Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Pharmaceutical” inactive), Escalon Holdings, Inc. (“EHI”), Escalon IP Holdings, Inc., Sonomed IP Holdings, Inc., Drew Scientific Holdings, Inc. (discontinued), Drew Scientific Inc. (discontinued), and Drew Scientific Group, Plc (“Drew”) and its subsidiaries (discontinued). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company operates in the healthcare market, specializing in the development, manufacture, marketing, and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the area of ophthalmology. The Company and its products are subject to regulation and inspection by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”). The FDA and other governmental authorities require extensive testing of new products prior to sale and have jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and marketing.

Management historically reviewed financial information, allocated resources, and managed the business as two segments: Sonomed-Escalon and Escalon Medical Corp. (“Corporate”). The Sonomed-Escalon segment consisted of Sonomed, Inc., EMI and Trek, all of which are engaged in the development and sale of Ophthalmic medical devices. The Escalon Medical Corp. segment includes the administrative corporate operations of the consolidated group. As the consolidated group is focused on one market, medical devices, segment reporting is no longer deemed necessary. Beginning with the first quarter of fiscal 2015 filing management reviews financial information and manages the business as one entity engaged in the development and sale of Ophthalmic medical devices. As a result of this change certain amounts in prior years were reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

2. Stock-Based Compensation

Valuations are based upon highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The Company has historically granted options under the Company's option plans with an option exercise price equal to the closing market value of the stock on the date of the grant and with vesting, primarily for Company employees, either in equal annual amounts over a two- to five-year period or immediately, and, primarily for non-employee directors, immediately.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan was $83,120 and $6,472, respectively. The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.32 years. For the three-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, $11,941 and $2,158 was recorded as compensation expense, respectively. For the six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, $23,859 and $4,315 was recorded as compensation expense, respectively.

The Company did not receive any cash from share option exercises under stock-based payment plans for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. The Company did not realize any tax effect, which would be a reduction in its tax rate, on options due to the full valuation allowances established on its deferred tax assets.

The Company measures compensation expense for non-employee stock-based compensation based on the fair value of the options issued, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company's common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty's performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital. There was $4,361 and $0 non-employee compensation expense for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. There was $10,903 and $0 non-employee compensation expense for the six-month periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

4. Legal Proceedings

The Company, from time to time, is involved in various legal proceedings and disputes that arise in the normal course of business. These matters have previously and may in the future pertain to intellectual property disputes, commercial contract disputes, employment disputes, and other matters. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters has had or is likely to have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, financial condition or results of operations.

5. Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2013, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-02 Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists to reduce diversity in practice by providing guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. Under the new provision an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward with some exceptions. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-07 Consolidation (Topic 810) Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements. The amendments permit a private company lessee (the

reporting entity) to elect an alternative not to apply VIE guidance to a lessor entity if (a) the private company lessee and the lessor entity are under common control, (b) the private company lessee has a lease arrangement with the lessor entity, (c) substantially all of the activities between the private company lessee and the lessor entity are related to leasing activities (including supporting leasing activities) between those two entities, and (d) if the private company lessee explicitly guarantees or provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor entity related to the asset leased by the private company, then the principal amount of the obligation at inception of such guarantee or collateral arrangement does not exceed the value of the asset leased by the private company from the lessor entity. The alternative will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Under the new provision only those disposals of components of an entity that represent a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results will be reported as discontinued operations in the financial statements; a business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition, meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale is reported in discontinued operations; and a disposal of an equity method investment that meets the definition of discontinued operation is reported in discontinued operations. The amendments are effective for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) of components of a public business entity that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years and all businesses or nonprofit activities that, on acquisition, are classified as held for sale that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those years.The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). Under the new provision, an entity should apply five steps for revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2014 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12 Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. For all entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2014 FASB issued Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40) Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. The amendments require management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards.The amendments in this Update are effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014 FASB issued Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. For hybrid financial instruments issued in the form of a share, an entity should determine the nature of the host contract by considering the economic characteristics and risks of the entire hybrid financial instrument, including the embedded derivative feature that is being evaluated for separate accounting from the host contract.The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014 FASB issued Business Combinations (Topic 805) Pushdown Accounting. The amendments in this Update provide an acquired entity with an option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity.The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2014 FASB issued Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination. An entity within the scope of this Update that elects the accounting alternative to recognize or otherwise consider the fair value of intangible assets as a result of any in-scope transactions should no longer recognize separately from goodwill.The amendments in this Update, at an entity’s election, apply to all entities except for public business entities and not-for-profit entities The decision to adopt the accounting alternative in this Update must be made upon the occurrence of the first

transaction within the scope of this accounting alternative in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and the effective date of adoption depends on the timing of that first in-scope transaction. (1) customer-related intangible assets unless they are capable of being sold or licensed independently from the other assets of the business and (2) noncompetition agreements. The amendments in this Update are effective on November 18, 2014. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

6. Fair Value Measurements

On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the FASB-issued authoritative guidance for the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value and establishes a hierarchy for reporting the reliability of input measurements used to assess fair value for all assets and liabilities. The FASB-issued authoritative guidance defines fair value as the selling price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market on the measurement date. The hierarchy prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used in the valuation technique. The inputs are categorized into the following levels:

Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Directly or indirectly observable inputs for quoted and other than quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active or non-active markets.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data, therefore requiring the entity to use the best available information available in the circumstances, including the entity’s own data.

Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the consolidated balance sheets, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses.

7. Continuing Operations

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.

We believe that our existing cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund our activities throughout fiscal 2015. However, we have based this estimate on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Further, our operating plan may change, and we may need additional funds to meet operational needs and capital requirements for product development and commercialization sooner than planned. Our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations is a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in “Risk Factors” on the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.

8. Discontinued Operations

BH Holdings, S.A.S ("BHH")

On January 12, 2012 BHH initiated the filing of an insolvency declaration with the Tribunal de Commerce de Rennes, France ("Commercial Court"). The Commercial Court on January 18, 2012 opened the liquidation proceedings with continuation of BHH's activity for 3 months and named an administrator to manage BHH. Since Drew no longer had a controlling financial interest in BHH it was deconsolidated in the December 31, 2011 quarterly condensed consolidated financial statements and prior period amounts were presented as discontinued operations.

The following tables summarize the results of discontinued operations of BHH for the three months and six months periods ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands):

Consequently, no forward-looking statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may vary materially. It is not possible to foresee or identify all factors affecting the Company's forward-looking statements, and the reader therefore should not consider the list of such factors contained in its periodic report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 and this Form 10-Q quarterly report to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties or potentially inaccurate assumptions.

Executive Overview— Six-Months Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The following highlights are discussed in further detail within this Form 10-Q. The reader is encouraged to read this

Form 10-Q in its entirety to gain a more complete understanding of factors impacting Company performance and financial

condition.

• Consolidated product revenue from continuing operations increased approximately $121,000, or 1.9%, to $6,330,000 during the six months ended December 31, 2014 as compared to same period of the last fiscal year. The increase in revenue is attributed to an increase of $179,000 in digital imaging cameras and AXIS image management systems offset by a decrease of $56,000 in ultrasound products, and a decrease of $2,000 in surgical products.

• Consolidated cost of goods sold from continuing operations totaled approximately $3,270,000, or 51.7%, of product revenue from continuing operations, for the six months ended December 31, 2014, as compared to $3,067,000, or 49.4%, of product revenue from continuing operations, for the same period of the prior fiscal year. The increase of 2.3% in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue is due mainly to the decreased margin in ultrasound products.

• Total operating expenses increased approximately $383,000, or 12.0%, during the six-month period ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the same period of prior fiscal year. This was due to increased marketing, general and administrative expenses of $376,000, or 15.1% and a decrease of $8,000 or 1.1%, in research and development expenses.

• Net loss from continuing operations was approximately $517,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2014. The loss is mainly due to increased sales and marketing, general and administrative expense and reduced margin.

Company Overview

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with interim condensed consolidated financial statements and

the notes thereto, which are set forth in Item 1 of this report.

The Company operates in the healthcare market specializing in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the area of ophthalmology. The Company and its products are subject to regulation and inspection by the FDA. The FDA requires extensive testing of new products prior to sale and has jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and marketing. The Company's Internet address is www.escalonmed.com. Sonomed-Escalon develops, manufactures and markets ultrasound systems used for diagnosis or biometric applications in ophthalmology, develops, manufactures and distributes ophthalmic surgical products under the Trek Medical Products name, and manufactures and markets digital camera systems for ophthalmic fundus photography and image management systems.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that impact amounts reported therein. The most significant of those involve the application of FASB-issued authoritative guidance concerning Revenue Recognition, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, discussed further in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and, as such, include amounts based on informed estimates and judgments of management. For example, estimates are used in determining valuation allowances for deferred income taxes, uncollectible receivables, obsolete inventory, sales returns and rebates, warranty liabilities and valuation of purchased intangible assets. Actual results achieved in the future could differ from current estimates. The Company used what it believes are reasonable assumptions and, where applicable, established valuation techniques in making its estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products at the time of shipment, when title and risk of loss transfer. The Company provides products to its distributors at agreed upon wholesale prices and to the balance of its customers at set retail prices. Distributors can receive discounts for accepting high volume shipments. The discounts are reflected immediately in the net invoice price, which is the basis for revenue recognition. No further material discounts are given.

The Company's considerations for recognizing revenue upon shipment of product to a distributor are based on the following:



		Persuasive evidence that an arrangement (purchase order and sales invoice) exists between a willing buyer (distributor) and the Company that outlines the terms of the sale (company information, quantity of goods, purchase price and payment terms). The buyer (distributor) does not have a right of return.



		Shipping terms are ex-factory shipping point. At this point the buyer (distributor) takes title to the goods and is responsible for all risks and rewards of ownership, including insuring the goods as necessary.



		The Company's price to the buyer (distributor) is fixed and determinable as specifically outlined on the sales invoice. The sales arrangement does not have customer cancellation or termination clauses.



		The buyer (distributor) places a purchase order with the Company; the terms of the sale are cash, COD or credit. Customer credit is determined based on the Company's policies and procedures related to the buyer's (distributor's) creditworthiness. Based on this determination, the Company believes that collectibility is reasonably assured.

The Company assesses collectibility based on creditworthiness of the customer and past transaction history. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not require collateral from its customers. For many of the Company's international customers, the Company requires an irrevocable letter of credit to be issued by the customer before the purchase order is accepted.

Valuation of Intangible Assets

The Company annually, and as circumstances require, evaluates for impairment its intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with FASB guidance related to goodwill and other intangible assets, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. These intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks and trade names. Recoverability of these assets is measured by comparison of their carrying amounts to future discounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate. If identifiable intangibles are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds its fair market value. The Company does not amortize intangible assets with indefinite useful lives; rather, such assets are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or sooner whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. The Company performs its intangible asset impairment tests on or about June 30, of each year. Any such impairment charge could be significant and could have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial statements if and when an impairment charge is recorded.

Income/(Loss) Per Share

The Company computes net income/(loss) per share under the provisions of FASB issued authoritative guidance.

Under the provisions of FASB issued authoritative guidance, basic and diluted net income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of diluted net income/(loss) per share excludes potential common shares if the impact is anti-dilutive. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share are determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is increased by assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock method.

Taxes

Estimates of taxable income of the various legal entities and jurisdictions are used in the tax rate calculation. Management uses judgment in estimating what the Company's income tax will be for the year. Since judgment is involved, there is a risk that the tax rate may increase or decrease in any period.

In determining income/(loss) for financial statement purposes, management must make certain estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and expense. FASB issued authoritative guidance concerning accounting for income taxes also requires that the deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on the available evidence, it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the recorded deferred tax assets will not be realized in future periods.

In evaluating the Company's ability to recover the Company's deferred tax assets, management considers all available positive and negative evidence including the Company's past operating results, the existence of cumulative losses and near-term forecasts of future taxable income that is consistent with the plans and estimates management is using to manage the underlying businesses.

Through December 31, 2014, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets arising from net operating losses due to uncertainty of their realization as a result of the Company's earnings history, the number of years the Company's net operating losses and tax credits can be carried forward, the existence of taxable temporary differences and near-term earnings expectations. The amount of the valuation allowance could decrease if facts and circumstances change that materially increase taxable income prior to the expiration of the loss carryforwards. Any reduction in the valuation allowance would result in an income tax benefit in the period such determination is made by the Company.

The Company has adopted FASB issued guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in financial statements of uncertain income tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. Under the FASB guidance a company can recognize the benefit of an income tax position only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that the tax position will be sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position. Otherwise, no benefit can be recognized. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Additionally, companies are required to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on all tax exposures for which reserves have been established consistent with jurisdictional tax laws. The Company has elected to recognize interest expense and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as a component of its provision for income taxes.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after July 1, 2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of the FASB issued guidance. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the award.

Valuations are based on highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
