“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
 
Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical facts constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by that Act. Forward looking statements may be identified by words such as “estimates”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “should” and similar expressions or the negative versions thereof and by the context in which they are used. Such statements, whether express or implied, are based on current expectations of the company and speak only as of the date made. Reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Hemagen undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which they are made or otherwise.
 
Statements concerning the establishments of reserves and adjustments for dated and obsolete products, expected financial performance, on-going business strategies and possible future action which Hemagen intends to pursue to achieve strategic objectives constitute forward-looking information. All forward looking statements, including those relating to the sufficiency of such charges, implementation of strategies and the achievement of financial performance are each subject to numerous conditions, uncertainties, risks and other factors. Factors which could cause actual performance to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, include, without limitation, management’s analysis of Hemagen’s assets, liabilities and operations, the failure to sell date–sensitive inventory prior to its expiration, competition, new product development by competitors which could render particular products obsolete, the inability to develop or acquire and successfully introduce new products or improvements of existing products, recessionary pressures on the economy and the markets in which our customers operate, costs and difficulties in complying with the laws and regulations administered by the United States Food and  Drug Administration, changes in the relative strength of the U.S. Dollar and Brazilian Reals, unfavorable political or economic developments in Brazilian operations, the ability to assimilate successfully product acquisitions and other factors disclosed in our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the SEC.

HEMAGEN DIAGNOSTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc.  (“Hemagen” or the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission instructions to Form 10-Q.  These financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes in the Company’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures, which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary for fair presentation.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year or any other period.

NOTE 2- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. This ASU allows entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, a likelihood of more than 50 percent) that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If this is the case, the entity is required to perform a more detailed two-step goodwill impairment test that is used to identify potential goodwill impairments and to measure the amount of goodwill impairment losses, if any, to be recognized. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company expects to adopt ASU 2011-08 in its first quarter of fiscal 2013 and does not expect it to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income, as amended, which requires companies to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively and are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2011-05 in its first quarter of fiscal 2013 and intends to present other comprehensive income in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income. 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2011-04 does not extend the use of fair value accounting but provides guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within U.S. GAAP or IFRSs. ASU 2011-04 changes the wording used to describe many requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Additionally, ASU 2011-04 clarifies the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurements. The amendments are effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2011-04 in its first quarter of fiscal 2013 and does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial statements.

NOTE 3- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic net loss per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Diluted loss per common share is computed based on common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents consisting of stock options and convertible debentures.  The dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents is determined using the treasury stock and if-converted method based on the Company’s average stock price for the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Options exercisable – December 31, 2011
    1,706,875     $ 0.17       6.63  

We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of our awards on the grant date.  The fair value of each option is estimated on the grant date using a Black-Scholes option pricing formula that uses the assumptions noted in the table below and discussion that follows.

Risk-free interest rate
    1.97 %     1.47% - 1.64 %
Expected life in years
    10       5  

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s Common Stock.  The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model.  The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the options is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The Company incurs stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period.  We have estimated forfeitures and incurred expense on shares we expect to vest.

As of December 31, 2011, there was $68,890 of unrecognized compensation cost related to stock-based compensation arrangements that we expect to vest.  This cost will be fully incurred within 5 years.  The options exercisable as of December 31, 2011 have no intrinsic value.

As of December 31, 2011, there was $191,273 of unrecognized interest expense related to warrants outstanding that will be fully expensed within 5 years.  The warrants exercisable as of December 31, 2011 have no intrinsic value.

The expense related to the warrants is being amortized over the life of the warrants and is included as interest expense in the accompanying financial statements.  As of December 31, 2011, the outstanding balance on the facility was $719,426.  The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants in the facility as of December 31, 2011.

Overview
 
Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc. is a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and markets approximately 68 FDA-cleared proprietary medical diagnostic test kits.  Hemagen has two different product lines.  The Virgo® product line of diagnostic test kits is used to aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune and infectious diseases, using ELISA, Immunoflourescence, and hemagglutination technology.  The Analyst® product line is an FDA-cleared clinical chemistry analyzer system, including consumables, that is used to measure important constituents in human and animal blood. The Company sells its products both directly and through distributors to reference labs, physicians, veterinarians, clinical laboratories and blood banks. The Company also sells its products on a private-label basis through multinational distributors. The Company was incorporated in 1985 and became a public company in 1993.

Hemagen’s principal office is located at 9033 Red Branch Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045 and the telephone number is (443) 367-5500.  Hemagen maintains a website at www.hemagen.com.  Investors can obtain copies of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from this site free of charge as well as from the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have identified certain accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.  The impact and any associated risks related to the identified critical accounting policies on our business operations are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations
 
The Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2011
Compared to the Three Month Period Ended December 31, 2010

Revenues for the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 decreased by approximately $270,000 (20%) to approximately $1,107,000 from approximately $1,377,000 for the same period ended December 31, 2010.  The decrease is primarily due to lower sales in Brazil. The decrease in sales in Brazil is primarily due to price reductions to several large customers that have merged or acquired one another and the related vendor consolidation programs that have been implemented. In addition, Analyst consumables sales were down by approximately $90,000 compared to the first three months of the same period last year.  This decrease was offset by an increase in sales in the Virgo line to non-Brazil customers.

Cost of product sales decreased by approximately $167,000 (19%) to approximately $700,000 from approximately $867,000 for the same period last year.  Cost of product sales as a percentage of sales remained relatively unchanged from the same period last year.

The Company continues to work to complete several research and development programs including:

·  
Improvements to the Analyst instrument and consumables product line;
 
·  
Developing and enhancing several of its Virgo test kits.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $61,000 (10%) for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 to approximately $661,000 from approximately $600,000 in the previous period.  The increase was due to increased payroll related expenses in our Brazil operations and an in increase in travel related expenses, outside consulting services and facility expenses compared to the same period last year.
 
Total other expenses, net for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased by approximately $25,000 to approximately $114,000 from approximately $89,000 from the period ended December 31, 2010. The increase in total other expenses was due to the reduction of interest income received on the Note Receivable and an increase in interest expense related to the line of credit and  issuance of warrants.

There was no income tax expense recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared to approximately $4,000 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010.  This tax expense in the prior year resulted from income realized at the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary.  The net loss before tax for the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary for the period ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $208,000 compared to net income before tax of approximately $41,000 for the prior year.

Net loss for the period increased by approximately $184,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 to approximately $368,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $184,000 in the prior year quarter. The increase in net loss is attributable to overall lower sales and an increase in SG&A expenses and interest expense during the current fiscal quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2011, Hemagen had $18,863 of cash, working capital of $561,028 and a current ratio of 1.36 to 1.0.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had $213,611 of cash, working capital of $923,610 and a current ratio of 1.61 to 1.0.

Hemagen currently has a revolving senior secured line of credit with TiFunding for the purpose of financing working capital needs as required.  The line of credit provides for borrowings up to $1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 9%. As of December 31, 2011 and January 31, 2012, the outstanding balance on the line was $719,426 and $744,437, respectively. The Company’s ability to borrow on the line is based on a borrowing base calculation dependent on certain receivables and inventory.  The line of credit matures on October 1, 2012 and is renewable annually.  The Company intends to renew the line when it expires, although no assurances can be given in this regard. Based upon negotiations with TiFunding, we believe that TiFunding will increase the maximum borrowing as necessary to provide liquidity sufficient to fund operations over the next twelve months.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations, the availability of the line of credit, and cash on hand at December 31, 2011 will be sufficient to finance its operations for the remainder of fiscal 2012.  During the second quarter Hemagen has implemented a cost reduction program. However, the Company can give no assurances that it will have sufficient cash to finance its operations.  The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Net cash used by operating activities during the three months ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $208,000 compared to cash used provided by operating activities of approximately $65,000 during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010. This is attributable primarily to lower sales during the current fiscal quarter and an increase in inventory.

Approximately $30,000 of cash was used in investing activities during the three-month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to approximately $23,000 of cash provided for investing activities during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010.  The cash used during the current fiscal quarter was used to purchase equipment and computers and was offset by the receipt of the principal of the Note. The cash provided from investing activities during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 was generated from payments received against the Note and was offset by purchases of property and equipment of approximately $29,000 during that quarter.

In accordance with the terms on the Note with the purchaser of Raichem, the Company received payments in the amount of $35,000 and $52,500, for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 was approximately $50,000, comprised of an advance on the line of credit used to fund operations and the purchase of property and equipment.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (Principal Executive Officer), William P. Hales and Principal Financial Officer, Catherine Davidson have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Based upon this evaluation, Mr. Hales and Ms. Davidson believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011 except for the matters described below.

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees within the financial and administrative functions of the Company. As a result of the limitations of the resources and segregation of duties, Stegman and Company, the Company’s current Independent registered accounting firm, has informed the Company that these limitations represent a material weakness in internal controls. Management will continue to evaluate this segregation of duties issue. Over the past several months, management has documented the Company’s critical control procedures and will continue to review and update such procedures as changes occur.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of internal control that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Hemagen’s internal control over financial reporting.
