NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JUNE 30, 2015

(UNAUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trimedyne, Inc., a Nevada corporation, its wholly owned subsidiary, Mobile Surgical Technologies, Inc. (“MST”), a Texas corporation, and its 90% owned inactive subsidiary, Cardiodyne, Inc. ("Cardiodyne"), a Nevada corporation, (collectively, the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

 

Going Concern

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company had working capital of $2,029,000 compared to $2,406,000 at the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. Cash decreased by $754,000 to $538,000 from $1,292,000 at September 30, 2014.

 

As of June 30, 2015 we had cash on hand of $538,000. We intend to fund operations with cash on hand and from operations, however, additional working capital in the next 12 months will be required based upon our current expenditure rate. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has been pursuing market development efforts in Asia and we have had positive feedback from our efforts. If successful, we could have a significant increase in sales volume during the next two successive quarters in this market area which may improve our financial condition and cash reserves.

 

The Company is currently pursuing market development efforts in Latin America and Eastern Europe. We believe that by expanding healthcare infrastructure in these markets, we may be able to create sustained demand for our Holmium Lasers and Fibers in the fields of Laser Spinal Endoscopy, Laser Lithotripsy and in the laser treatment of other conditions. Additionally, we expect the global trend toward single-use, disposable laser delivery devices may improve sales and profit margins as more hospitals convert from multi-use devices, due to concerns for sterility and handling costs incurred in product sterilization, and we plan to develop more single-use optical fiber devices.

 

If necessary, we will also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity capital, sell some of our assets, reduce our costs by eliminating certain personnel positions and continue our efforts to reduce certain overhead costs in order to reduce our cash consumption levels.

 

Unaudited Interim Financial Information

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statement presentation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2015 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Results for the nine months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending September 30, 2015.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include inventory valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts and deferred income tax assets, recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets, losses for contingencies and certain accrued liabilities, as well as the valuation of equity compensation.

 

While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, it is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company's 2014 annual report on Form 10-K.

Stock-Based Compensation

 

We account for equity based compensation under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 718, "Compensation, Stock Compensation" (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires the recognition of the fair value of equity-based compensation in operations. The fair value of our stock option awards are estimated using a Black-Scholes option valuation model. This model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions and elections including expected stock price volatility and the estimated life of each award. In addition, the calculation of equity-based compensation costs requires that we estimate the number of awards that will be forfeited during the vesting period. The fair value of equity-based awards is amortized over the vesting period of the award.

 

The Company measures compensation expense for its non-employee stock-based compensation under ASC 505 “Equity”. The fair value of the option issued or committed to be issued is used to measure the transaction, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. The fair value is measured at the date 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 stock-based compensation expense and credited to additional paid-in capital.

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, a total of 1,000,000 options were granted to various employees and directors of the Company and a consultant. These options were valued using Black-Scholes model for the aggregate grant date fair value of $61,000. These options vest over periods ranging from immediately to three years.

 

Stock-based compensation was $43,000 and $2,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of June 30, 2015, there was approximately $23,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated expected forfeitures, related to employee and director stock option compensation arrangements. This unrecognized cost is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the next eleven quarterly reporting periods.

 

Per Share Information

 

Basic per share information is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share information consists of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the dilutive effects of options and warrants calculated using the treasury stock method. In loss periods, dilutive common equivalent shares are excluded as the effect would be anti-dilutive. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, outstanding options of 1,697,000 and 818,900, respectively, were excluded from the diluted net loss per share as the effects would have been anti-dilutive. In addition, the exercise prices of these options, with the exception of 110,000 options, were in excess of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents approximate their fair values.

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company had cash balances in excess of federally insured limits of $250,000 in the amount of $492,000.

NOTE 4 - Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

We are subject to various claims and actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. The litigation process is inherently uncertain, and it is possible that the resolution of any future litigation may adversely affect us. We are not presently involved in any litigation.

 

8
 

 

Guarantees and Indemnities

 

The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents to the maximum extent permitted under the laws of the State of California. In connection with its facility leases, the Company has indemnified its users of lasers for certain claims arising from the use of the lasers. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and in many cases is indefinite. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated to make any payments for these obligations and no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the agency of the U.S. Government that administers the Medicare and Medicaid Programs, does not reimburse for thermal intradiscal procedures to treat spinal discs including the use of the Company's pulsed Holmium Lasers. Since most people suffering from a herniated or ruptured spinal disc are below Medicare age, we do not believe CMS's decision will have an adverse impact on our business.

 

NOTE 5 - Segment Information

 

The Company's segments consist of individual companies managed separately with each manager reporting to the Principal Executive Officer. Revenues, and operating or segment profit, are reflected net of inter-segment sales and profits. Segment profit is comprised of net sales less operating expenses. Other income and expense and income taxes are not allocated and reported by segment since they are excluded from the measure of segment performance reviewed by management.

 

Data with respect to these operating activities for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 are as follows:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

This information should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report and the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2014, contained in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts may contain forward-looking statements that involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or anticipated by management. Potential risks and uncertainties include, among other factors, general business conditions, government regulations governing medical device approvals and manufacturing practices, competitive market conditions, success of the Company's business strategy, delay of orders, changes in the mix of products sold, availability of suppliers, concentration of sales in markets and to certain customers, changes in manufacturing efficiencies, development and introduction of new products, fluctuations in margins, timing of significant orders, and other risks and uncertainties currently unknown to management. We do not undertake any duty to update forward-looking statements after the date they are made or to conform them to actual results or to changes in circumstances or expectations.

 

OVERVIEW

 

Trimedyne, Inc. (the "Company", "we", "our" or "us") is engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of 80 and 30 watt Holmium "cold" pulsed lasers ("Lasers") and a variety of disposable and reusable, fiber optic laser energy delivery devices ("Fibers", "Needles" and "Tips") for use in a broad array of medical applications.

 

Our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Tips have been cleared for sale by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in orthopedics, urology, ear, nose and throat surgery, gynecology, gastrointestinal surgery, general surgery and other medical specialties. Many of the medical procedures in which our Lasers, Fibers, Needles and Tips are used are being reimbursed by Medicare and many insurance companies and health plans.

 

Our 100% owned subsidiary, Mobile Surgical Technologies, Inc. ("MST"), is engaged in the rental of lasers, along with the services of a trained operator and, if requested, the provision of applicable Fibers, Needles or Tips, on a "fee per case" basis to hospitals, surgery centers, group practices and individual physicians in Texas and nearby areas.

 

The principal market for our Lasers and Side Firing Needles is presently in orthopedics to treat herniated (bulging) and ruptured lumbar, thoracic and cervical discs in the spine, two of the four major causes of lower back, neck and leg pain, typically on an outpatient basis. Our Lasers and Tips are also used in orthopedics to treat damage in joints, such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, ankle and wrist, in outpatient, arthroscopic procedures.

 

The Company's Lasers and Fibers are also used in Urology to fragment stones in the kidney, ureter or bladder. The Company's VaporMAX(R) Side Firing Optical Fiber device is also used to vaporize a portion of the male prostate which is used with the Company’s Lasers in the treatment of benign prostate hyperplasia or "BPH", commonly referred to as an "enlarged prostate."

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

 

The methods, estimates, and judgment we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our financial statements. The SEC has defined "critical accounting policies" as those accounting policies that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based upon this definition, our most critical estimates assumptions include inventory valuation, allowances for doubtful accounts and deferred income tax assets, recoverability of goodwill and long-lived assets, losses for contingencies and certain accrued liabilities, as well as the valuation of equity compensation.  We also have other key accounting estimates and policies, but we believe that these other policies either do not generally require us to make estimates and judgments that are as difficult or as subjective, or it is less likely that they would have a material impact on our reported results of operations for a given period. For additional information see Note 1, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" in the notes to our reviewed financial statements appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report and Note 2 to our annual audited financial statements appearing on Form 10-K. Although we believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable, they are based upon information presently available, and actual results may differ significantly from these estimates.

Three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to three months ended June 30, 2014

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015, net revenues were $1,482,000 as compared to $1,339,000 for the same period of the previous year, a $143,000 or 11% increase primarily due to an increase in revenues from Laser sales. Net sales from lasers and accessories increased by $210,000 or 103% to $413,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $203,000 in the same period of the prior year. Net sales from Fibers, Needles and Tips decreased by $68,000 or 15% to $394,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 from $462,000 in the same period of the prior year. The higher sales during the previous year quarter ended June 30, 2014, was primarily the result of shipments to fulfill backorders created by the delaying of shipments resulting from the impact on manufacturing due to the relocation of our facility in California during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. Export sales increased by $144,000 or 39% to $517,000 from $373,000 for the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in export sales was primarily due to an increase in laser sales to Asia as compared to the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2014. Net sales from service and rental during the current quarter remained virtually unchanged at $675,000 as compared to $674,000 for the same quarter of the prior year.

 

Cost of sales during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was $995,000 or 67% of net revenues as compared to $924,000 or 69% during the prior year quarter. Gross profit as a percentage of sales from the sale of lasers and accessories was $105,000 or 25% as compared to $13,000 or 6% for the prior year three-month period. The increase in gross profit for lasers and accessories during the current three-month period was primarily the result of the sale of two fully amortized demo lasers offset by discounted laser sales to facilitate the opening of new markets in Asia. Gross profit as a percentage of sales from the sale of delivery and disposable devices was 42% as compared to 36% for the prior year three-month period. The increase in gross profit during the current three-month period as compared to the prior year was primarily due to increased efficiencies in production. Gross profit as a percentage of sales from revenue received from service and rentals during the current three-month period was 32% as compared to 35% for the prior year three month-period. The lower gross profit was primarily due to an increase in the cost of service parts for the service department at our California facility resulting from our revaluation of inventory performed during the last quarter of the prior year combined with an increase in accrued warranty expense from the sale of lasers during the current three-month period.

 

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, selling, general and administrative increased $37,000 or 8% to $480,000 as compared to the prior year quarter of $443,000. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the current three-month period was primarily due to the following:

 

Expense Description   Increase/(Decrease)
Stock-based compensation   41,000  
Tax penalties   27,000  
Employee benefits   5,000  
Commissions/bonuses   5,000  
Insurance Expense   3,000  
Rent   (2,000 )
Outside Administrative Services   (3,000 )
Licenses/certifications expense   (3,000 )
Bank Fees   (5,000 )
Audit and tax expense   (8,000 )
Payroll Related   (14,000 )
Other allocated expenses   (9,000 )

 

Research and development expenditures for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 decreased $21,000 or 20% to $86,000 as compared to $107,000 in the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The decrease in expenditure during the current year three-month period as compared to the prior year three-month period was due to the reduction of staff during the current year three-month period.

 

Other income/expense, net, decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 by $38,000 to a net expense of $17,000 from income of $21,000 during the same quarter of the prior year. The decrease in other income/expense was primarily due to the expiration of a license agreement with Lumenis, Ltd., in August of 2014, and no royalty payments were received from Lumenis, Ltd., during the current quarter ended June 30, 2015 as compared to $20,000 received during the prior year quarter ended June 30, 2014, combined with a one-time adjustment to reconcile prior year accrued expenses.

  

For the current quarter, the Company had a net loss of $97,000 or $0.01 per share, based on 18,395,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as compared to a net loss of $118,000 or $0.01 per share, based on 18,395,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the same quarter of the previous year.

Nine months ended June 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended June 30, 2014

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, net revenues were $4,027,000 as compared to $4,120,000 for the same period of the previous year, a $93,000 or 2% decrease. Net revenues from lasers and accessories increased by $250,000 or 44% to $819,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 from $569,000 in the same period of the prior year. Net revenues from Fibers, Needles and Tips decreased by $419,000 or 25% to $1,241,000 during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 from $1,660,000 for the same period of the prior year. The higher sales during the prior year nine-month period ended June 2014, 2014, was primarily the result of an increase in shipments to fulfill backorders created by the delaying of shipments due to the relocation of our facility in California during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, export sales increased $226,000 or 24% to $1,153,000 from $927,000 during the same period of the prior year. The increase in export sales was primarily the result of an increase in sales to Asia. Net sales from service and rental increased by $76,000 or 4% to $1,967,000 from $1,891,000 for the same quarters in the prior year. This increase was primarily due to an increase in fee-per-case revenues generated from MST.

 

Cost of sales during the nine months ended June 30, 2015 was $2,717,000 or 68% of net revenues as compared to $2,778,000 or 67% for the same period of the prior year. Gross profit as a percentage of sales from the sale of Lasers and accessories was 17% as compared to 11% for the prior year nine-month period. The increase in gross profit for lasers and accessories during the current six-month period was primarily due to the sale of two fully amortized demo lasers offset by discounted laser sales to facilitate the opening of new markets in Asia. Gross profit as a percentage of sales from the sale of Fibers, Needles and Tips was 48% during the current nine-month period as compared to 42% during the prior year nine-month period. The increase in gross profit during the current three-month period as compared to the prior year was primarily due to increased efficiencies in production. Gross profit from revenue received from service and rentals during the current nine-month period was 29% as compared to 30% for the prior year nine-month period. The lower gross profit was primarily due to an increase in the cost of service parts for the service department at our California facility resulting from our revaluation of inventory performed during the last quarter of the prior year combined with a correction to the allocation of property tax expense for MST’s equipment during the current year. 

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $1,417,000 as compared to $1,464,000 for the same period of the previous year, a $47,000 or 3% decrease. The decrease in selling, general and administration expense was primarily due to the following:

 

Expense Description   Increase/(Decrease )
Tax Penalties   27,000  
Stock–based compensation   41,000  
Bad Debt   9,000  
Employee benefits   9,000  
Commissions/bonuses   (3,000 )
Rent   (3,000 )
Corporate fees   (4,000 )
Audit and tax expense   (5,000 )
Bank fees   (17,000 )
Payroll related   (18,000 )
Insurance expense   (19,000 )
Outside administrative expense   (24,000 )
Legal   (27,000 )
Other allocated expenses   (7,000 )

 

During the nine months ended June 30, 2015, research and development expenses decreased to $336,000 from $343,000 in the prior year nine-month period, a decrease of $7,000 or 2%. During the nine-month period ended June 30, 2015, R&D activities consisted of producing samples and documentation for interstitial fiber optic delivery systems, expanding the existing line of single use and reusable bare fibers, optimizing label production and inspection for existing products, and updating risk management files in compliance with current international standards.

 

Other income/expense decreased by $99,000 or 118% to an expense of $15,000 in the current nine-month period from income of $84,000 in the previous nine-month period of fiscal 2014. The decrease in other income/expense was primarily due to the expiration of a license agreement with Lumenis, Ltd., and, as a result, the cessation of royalty payments in August of 2014, compared to $74,000 received during the prior year nine-month period ended June 30, 2014, combined with a one-time adjustment to reconcile prior year accrued expenses.

 

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, the Company had net loss of $466,000 or $0.03 per share, based on 18,395,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding, as compared to a net loss of $388,000 or $0.02 per share, based on 18,395,960 basic weighted average number of common shares outstanding in the same period of the previous year, resulting from the above mentioned factors.

 

Liquidity and Capital

 

At June 30, 2015, the Company had working capital of $2,029,000 compared to $2,406,000 at the end of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014. Cash decreased by $754,000 to $538,000 from $1,292,000 at September 30, 2014. Cash used in investing activities was $35,000 for the purchase of fixed assets. Cash used in financing activities was $87,000 which was the result of payments on notes payable and an equipment lease.

Going Concern

 

As of June 30, 2015, we had cash on hand of $538,000. We intend to fund operations with cash on hand and from operations; however, additional working capital in the next 12 months will be required based upon our current expenditure rate. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company has been pursuing market development efforts in Asia and we have had positive feedback from our efforts. If successful, we could have a significant increase in sales volume during the next two successive quarters in this market area which may improve our financial condition and cash reserves.

 

The Company is currently pursuing market development efforts in Latin America and Eastern Europe. We believe that by expanding healthcare infrastructure in these markets, we may be able to create sustained demand for our Holmium Lasers and Fibers in the fields of Laser Spinal Endoscopy, Laser Lithotripsy and in the laser treatment of other conditions. Additionally, we expect the global trend toward single-use, disposable laser delivery devices may improve sales and profit margins as more hospitals convert from multi-use devices, due to concerns for sterility and handling costs incurred in product sterilization, and we plan to develop more single-use optical fiber devices.

 

Our Chairman, Dr. Marvin P. Loeb, is continuing his efforts to raise capital for his company Gastromedix, Inc., a company of which Trimedyne owns a 30% interest. Should Dr. Loeb be successful in his efforts to raise capital, which cannot be assured, the funds will be used to subsidize patient “pilot” clinical trials involving a procedure utilizing Lasers and Side Firing Fibers, which will be exclusively supplied by Trimedyne. If these “pilot” clinical trials are successful, which cannot be assured, randomized controlled clinical trials of the procedure will begin with the exclusive use of our Lasers and patented Side Firing Fibers in the treatment of Type II Diabetes, Obesity and/or GERD, often called “heartburn”. Gastromedix, Inc. may become an outlet for Trimedyne Lasers and Side Firing Fibers. For more information, please refer to our 10-Q filing for the period ended March 31, 2015.

In the interim, if necessary, we will also attempt to raise additional debt and/or equity capital, sell some of our assets, reduce our costs by eliminating certain personnel positions and continue our efforts to reduce certain overhead costs in order to reduce our cash consumption levels.
