Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period is determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding, unvested SUAs. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows (in thousands):

 

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,				September 30,				September 30,				September 30,
		2016				2015				2016				2015
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic			5,460				5,423				5,442				5,399
Dilutive common equivalent shares			50				2				15				7
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted			5,510				5,425				5,457				5,406

 

5.

Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, which are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the company.

 

6.

Subsequent Events

 

On October 26, 2016, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share for a total of $819 thousand, which will be paid on November 17, 2016 to shareholders of record on November 7, 2016.

 

7.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that based upon information available to the Company at this time, the expected outcome of these matters would not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The new standard will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The new standard will become effective beginning with the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2016-09 in the second quarter of 2016 which will be applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. As a result of our adoption of ASU 2016-09, we recognize the impact of forfeitures when they occur with no adjustment for estimated forfeitures and recognize excess tax benefits as a reduction of income tax expense regardless of whether the benefit reduces income taxes payable. Additionally, we recognize the cash flow impact of such excess tax benefits in operating activities in our condensed statements of cash flows. The cumulative impact upon adoption was a $41 thousand benefit from income taxes and a $60 thousand adjustment to retained earnings.

OVERVIEW

 

Revenues for the third quarter of 2016 were $11.8 million, an increase of 67% from third quarter 2015 revenue of $7.1 million. The Company reported net income of $2.7 million, or $0.49 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2016 versus $796 thousand, or $0.15 per diluted share for the same period in 2015, an increase of 240%. The increase in revenue and earnings was primarily the result of higher testing volume from Brazil. The Brazil opportunity derived from the implementation of a recently passed Brazilian law requiring a hair drug test for all professional drivers in the country that began to take effect in March 2016. The Company distributed $2.5 million or $0.45 per share of cash dividends to its shareholders in the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The Company has paid 80 consecutive quarterly cash dividends.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At September 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $4.1 million of cash. The Company's operating activities generated net cash of $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. Investing activities used $1.4 million of cash while financing activities used $3.3 million of cash during the first nine months of 2016.

 

Cash provided by operating activities of $6.1 million reflected net income of $4.3 million adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $1.6 million and stock-based compensation of $508 thousand. This was affected by the following changes in assets and liabilities: an increase in accounts receivable of $2.7 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses, other current assets and income tax receivable of $634 thousand, an increase in accounts payable of $397 thousand, an increase in accrued expenses of $1.3 million and a decrease in deferred income taxes of $17 thousand. The increase in accrued expenses was driven a $1.0 million increase in accrued income taxes.

 

Cash used in investing activities primarily included equipment and leasehold improvements of $1.2 million which were purchased during the first nine months of 2016. We anticipate spending $0.5 million to $1.0 million in additional capital purchases for the remainder of 2016.

 

Cash used by financing activities of $3.3 million primarily included cash dividends to shareholders of $2.5 million and $1.3 million from payments on long term debt, offset by $610 thousand of proceeds from additional equipment financing. On October 25, 2016, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share for an estimated total of $819 thousand, which will be paid on November 14, 2016 to shareholders of record on November 4, 2016.

 

Contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of September 30, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

 

		Less Than One Year				1-3 Years				4-5 Years				After 5 Years				Total
Debt principal		$	1,742			$	3,082			$	402			$	-			$	5,226
Operating leases			923				1,487				462				-				2,872
Total		$	2,665			$	4,569			$	864			$	-			$	8,098

 

At September 30, 2016, the Company's principal source of liquidity consisted of approximately $4.1 million of cash.  Management currently believes that such funds, together with cash generated from operations, should be adequate to fund anticipated working capital requirements and capital equipment expenditures for the next 12 months.  Depending upon the Company's results of operations and capital needs, the Company may use various financing sources to raise additional funds. 

 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

Interest Rate Sensitivity. The Company’s long-term debt agreement is subject to the 30 day Libor rate, which changes the Company’s interest rate on a monthly basis. The Company does not expect any changes in this rate to materially affect the Company’s performance.

 

Based on our ability to access our cash and cash equivalents, our expected operating cash flows and our other sources of cash, we do not anticipate that any lack of liquidity will materially affect our ability to operate our business.
