Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

Note 1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization

 

Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in April 1999 and was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in December 2006. The Company’s principal office is located in Petaluma, California.  The Company is a commercial healthcare company that designs, produces, and markets innovative, safe and effective drugs, devices, and nutritional products. It is pioneering innovative products for the dermatology, surgical, wound care, and animal healthcare markets. The Company’s primary focus is on its proprietary technology platform called Microcyn® Technology. This technology is based on electrically charged oxychlorine small molecules designed to target a wide range of organisms that cause disease (pathogens). Several Microcyn® Technology tissue care products are designed to treat infections and enhance healing while reducing the need for antibiotics.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2012 and for the three months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2012, condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2013 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2012 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. However, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2012, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on June 21, 2012.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and debt discounts. Periodically, the Company evaluates and adjusts estimates accordingly. The allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable balances amounted to $57,000 and $52,000, which are included in accounts receivable, net in the accompanying June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively. The reserve for excess and obsolete inventory balances amounted to $114,000 and $105,000, which are included in inventories, net in the accompanying June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively

 

Net Loss per Share

 

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The computation of basic loss per share for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 excludes the potentially dilutive securities summarized in the table below because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) contracts that contain reset provisions as either an asset or a liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company determined that its freestanding derivatives, which principally consist of warrants to purchase common stock, satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments at June 30, 2012, other than certain warrants that contain reset provisions and certain warrants that require net-cash settlement that the Company classified as derivative liabilities as more fully described in Note 5.

 

Preferred Stock

 

Shares that are subject to mandatory redemption (if any) are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. The Company classifies conditionally redeemable preferred shares, which includes preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control, as temporary equity.

 

Convertible Instruments

 

The Company evaluates and bifurcates conversion options from their host instruments and accounts for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional as that term is described under applicable GAAP.

 

Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

 

Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of capital lease obligations and equipment loans approximates their carrying amounts as a market rate of interest is attached to their repayment. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

 

Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable

 

Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below:

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivate liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, who report to the Chief Financial Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures.  The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

 

Level 3 Valuation Techniques:

 

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.  Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option valuation model to value Level 3 financial liabilities at inception and on subsequent valuation dates.  This model incorporates transaction details such as the Company’s stock price, contractual terms, maturity, risk free rates, as well as volatility.

 

A significant decrease in the volatility or a significant decrease in the Company’s stock price, in isolation, would result in a significantly lower fair value measurement. Changes in the values of the derivative liabilities are recorded in Change in Fair Value of Derivative Instruments on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

  

As of June 30, 2012, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the financial statements were issued (Note 11).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) - Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs." This ASU addresses fair value measurement and disclosure requirements within Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820 for the purpose of providing consistency and common meaning between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”). Generally, this ASU is not intended to change the application of the requirements in Topic 820. Rather, this ASU primarily changes the wording to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. It is not expected to have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

 

7
 

 

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” This ASU increases the prominence of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) in the financial statements and provides companies two options for presenting OCI, which until now has typically been placed within the statement of equity. One option allows an OCI statement to be included with the net income statement, and together the two will make a statement of total comprehensive income. Alternately, companies may present an OCI statement separate from the net income statement; however, the two statements will have to appear consecutively within a financial report. This ASU does not affect the types of items that are reported in OCI, nor does it affect the calculation or presentation of earnings per share. For public companies, this ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the impact this standard will have on the Company’s consolidated financial position and results of operations.

 

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the FASB and SEC and/or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

 

Note 2. Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

The Company reported a net income of $445,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, the Company’s accumulated deficit amounted to $131,869,000. The Company had working capital of $3,086,000 as of June 30, 2012. The Company may need to raise additional capital from external sources in order to continue the longer term efforts contemplated under its business plan. The Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue its product development initiatives, penetrate markets for the sale of its products and continue as a going concern.

 

On April 22, 2012, the Company entered into agreements with various investors to issue up to: a) 2,360,001 shares of common stock b) 1,000 shares of Series A 0% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”); and c) warrants to purchase up to 3,471,112 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). The Company also offered up to 1,111,111 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and 3,471,112 shares of common stock in the event the Warrants are exercised. The Warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.18 per share, are not exercisable for six months from the date of issuance, and have an exercise term of 2.5 years from the date of issuance. The Company received approximately $3,124,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of these securities. Net proceeds after deducting the placement agent commissions, legal expenses and other offering expenses, and assuming no exercise of the Warrants, was $2,832,000. The Company retained Rodman & Renshaw, LLC as the exclusive placement agent for this offering, and paid them $218,680 in placement agent commissions. On May 4, 2012, the investor converted 1,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased in the transaction into 1,111,111 shares of common stock.

 

The Company currently anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements to continue its sales and marketing and research and development through at least July 1, 2013. However, in order to execute the Company’s long-term Microcyn® product development strategy and to penetrate new and existing markets, the Company may need to raise additional funds through public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means.

 

Management believes that the Company has access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means; however, the Company has not secured any commitment for new financing at this time, nor can it provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed. If the Company is unable to secure additional capital, it may be required to curtail its research and development initiatives and take additional measures to reduce costs in order to conserve its cash.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Legal Matters

 

On July 25, 2011, the Company received notice of a lawsuit filed in Mexico by Cesar Mangotich Pacheco and Prodinnv, S.A. de C.V. represented by Cesar Mangotich Pacheco. The lawsuit appears to allege conversion of assets, tortious interference and defamation, among other claims. The Company is currently evaluating the lawsuit, conferring with local counsel and translating the documents it has received. The Company’s preliminary assessment is that the lawsuit is completely without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. The Company has not accrued a loss reserve for this matter.

 

The Company, from time to time, is involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that such matters are currently not material, there can be no assurance that matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is or could become involved in litigation, will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.    

 

Employment Agreements with Executives

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had employment agreements in place with five of its key executives. The agreements provide, among other things, for the payment of six to twenty-four months of severance compensation for terminations under certain circumstances. With respect to these agreements, at June 30, 2012, potential severance amounted to $1,918,000 and aggregated annual salaries amounted to $1,360,000.

 

Commercial Agreements

 

On February 14, 2011, the Company entered into a Product Option Agreement with an Amneal affiliate, AmDerma Pharmaceuticals, LLC (“AmDerma”).  The Company plans to use its proprietary Microcyn technology to develop a prescription pharmaceutical product for the treatment of acne (the “Future Acne Product”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company sold the option to exclusively sell and distribute the Future Acne Product to AmDerma for a one-time non-refundable payment of $500,000. On June 23, 2011, AmDerma exercised its option to license rights to the drug candidate.

 

On June 21, 2012, the Company entered into a collaboration agreement with AmDerma (the “Collaboration Agreement”). Pursuant to the Collaboration Agreement, AmDerma is responsible for the development of a Microcyn-based acne drug candidate in the United States, including all activities required to gain regulatory approvals. AmDerma will also be responsible for all costs. Additionally, within one year of the first commercial sale by AmDerma, AmDerma shall identify at least one secondary indication that AmDerma will develop. If AmDerma declines to pursue such secondary indication, then the right to develop such secondary indication will revert back to the Company. The Company granted AmDerma an exclusive, royalty-bearing perpetual license in the United States and India, with the right to sublicense and subcontract in certain circumstances, and a right of first refusal to expand the territory of the license to include the European Union, Canada, Brazil, and Japan. The Company retained rights to the “rest of world.” The aforementioned option payment of $500,000 will be credited against future milestone payments in the transaction. This amount is recorded in deferred revenue in the June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Related Party Agreements

 

On January 26, 2009, the Company entered into a commercial agreement with VetCure, Inc., a California corporation, to market and sell its Vetericyn products. VetCure, Inc. later changed its name to Vetericyn, Inc., which, at the time, was wholly-owned by Mr. Robert Burlingame. This agreement was amended on February 24, 2009, July 24, 2009, June 1, 2010, and November 1, 2010.

To the Company’s knowledge, he ceased being a holder of more than 5% of its common stock in 2010.

 

Additionally, beginning on July 1, 2011, the Company shares profits related to Vetericyn and Microcyn over-the-counter sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded revenue related to these agreements in the amounts of $1,136,000 and $563,000, respectively. The revenue is recorded in product revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding accounts receivable of $837,000 and $290,000, respectively, related to Innovacyn, Inc.

 

Other Matters

 

On May 21, 2012, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”), notifying the Company that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, it has failed to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(b)(2), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum Market Value of Listed Securities of $35 million for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The letter also noted that the Company did not meet the alternative requirements under Listing Rules 5550(b)(1) or 5550(b)(3).

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), NASDAQ has granted the Company a period of 180 calendar days, or until November 19, 2012, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company may regain compliance with the Listing Rule at any time during this compliance period if its Market Value of Listed Securities closes at $35 million or more for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

 

The letter has no effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock at this time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(b)(2) or the other compliance alternatives under Listing Rule 5550(b). In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Listing Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, it will receive written notification that its securities are subject to delisting, at which time the Company may appeal the delisting determination to a Hearings Panel.

 

On June 18, 2012, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications staff of NASDAQ, notifying the Company that, for the previous 30 consecutive business days, it has failed to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), which requires the Company to maintain a minimum bid price of $1 per share for its common stock.

 

In accordance with Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(C), NASDAQ has granted the Company a period of 180 calendar days, or until December 17, 2012, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Company may regain compliance with the Rule at any time during this compliance period if the minimum bid price for its common stock is at least $1 for a minimum of ten consecutive business days.

 

The letter has no effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock at this time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to regain compliance with Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). In the event the Company does not regain compliance with the Listing Rule prior to the expiration of the compliance period, the Company may be eligible for additional time. To qualify, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for NASDAQ Capital Market, with the exception of the bid price requirement, and will need to provide written notice of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period, by effecting a reverse split, if necessary. If the Company meets these requirements, NASDAQ will inform the Company that it has been granted an additional 180 calendar days. However, if it appears to the Staff of NASDAQ that the Company will not be able to cure the deficiency, or if the Company is otherwise not eligible, NASDAQ will provide notice that its securities will be subject to delisting.

 

Note 5. Derivative Liabilities

 

The Company considers financial instruments which do not have fixed settlement provisions to be derivative instruments. The common stock purchase warrants issued with the Company’s August 13, 2007 private placement, and the common stock purchase warrants issued to the placement agent in the transaction, do not have fixed settlement provisions because their exercise prices may be lowered if the Company issues securities at lower prices in the future. The Company was required to include the reset provisions in order to protect the warrant holders from the potential dilution associated with future financings. At issuance, the warrants were recognized as equity instruments and have since been re-characterized as derivative liabilities. Accordingly, the warrant obligations are adjusted to fair value at the end of each reporting period with the change in value reported in the statement of operations. Such fair values were estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Although the Company determined the common stock warrants include an implied down-side protection feature, it performed a Monte-Carlo simulation and concluded that the value of the feature is de minimis between the two models and the use of the Black-Scholes valuation model is considered to be a reasonable method to value the warrants.

 

The derivative liability related to warrants without fixed settlement provisions were valued using the Black-Scholes option valuation model and the following assumptions on the following dates:

 

  June 30,
2012
   March 31,
2012
 
Expected term   0.62 years    0.87 years 
Risk-free interest rate   0.18%   0.18%
Dividend yield   0.00%   0.00%
Volatility   68.0%   89.0%
Warrants outstanding   835,935    762,876 
Fair value of warrants  $   $55,000 

 

The Company deems financial instruments which require net-cash settlement as either an asset or a liability. The common stock purchase warrants issued with the Company’s April 22, 2012 registered direct offering contain a net-cash settlement feature which gives the warrant holder the right to net-cash settlement in the event certain transactions occur. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, if such a transaction occurs the warrant holder will be entitled to a net-cash settlement value calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using an expected volatility equal to the greater of 100% and the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg, an expected term equal to the remaining term of the warrant, and applicable risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury. Accordingly, the fair value of the warrant obligation was determined at the date of issuance and was adjusted to fair value at the end of the reporting period using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The change in value reported from issue date to the reporting date was recorded in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations.

The Company will continue to adjust the derivative liabilities for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise, at which time the liability will be reclassified to stockholders’ equity (deficiency), or expiration of the warrants.

 

The following table sets forth a summary of the changes in the fair value of our Level 3 financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Note 6. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Registered Direct Offering

 

On April 22, 2012, the Company entered into agreements with various investors to issue up to: a) 2,360,001 shares of common stock b) 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock; and c) warrants to purchase up to 3,471,112 shares of common stock. The Company also offered up to 1,111,111 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock. The Company received approximately $3,124,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of these securities. Net proceeds after deducting the placement agent commissions, legal expenses and other offering expenses, and assuming no exercise of the warrants, was $2,832,000. The Company retained Rodman & Renshaw, LLC as the exclusive placement agent for this offering, and paid them $218,680 in placement agent commissions. Following the close of the transaction, the investor converted 1,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased in the transaction into 1,111,111 shares of common stock.

 

In connection with the convertible preferred stock, the Company determined the instrument contained a beneficial conversion feature at the date of issuance. This beneficial conversion feature amounted to $1,062,000 and was recorded as a deemed preferred dividend on the condensed consolidated statement of statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

 

The warrants issued with the offering have an initial exercise price of $1.18 per share, are not exercisable for six months from the date of issuance, and have an exercise term of 2.5 years from the date of issuance. Additionally, the common stock purchase warrants contain a net-cash settlement feature which gives the warrant holder the right to net-cash settlement in the event certain transactions occur. Pursuant to the terms of the warrants, if such a transaction occurs the warrant holder will be entitled to a net-cash settlement value calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model using specific volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate assumptions, as detailed in the warrants. Accordingly, at April 22, 2012, the Company recorded $2,347,000 related to the Black-Scholes fair value of the warrants as a derivative liability and adjusted the derivative liability to the current fair value of $1,155,000 at June 30, 2012 in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The change in fair value amounted to $1,247,000 and was recorded as a gain due to change in fair value of derivative instruments in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations in the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Common Stock Issued to Service Providers

 

On April 24, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Advocos LLC, a contract sales organization that serves as part of the Company’s sales force for the sale of wound care products in the United States. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the contract sales organization a monthly fee and potential bonuses that will be based on achievement of certain levels of sales. Additionally, the Company agreed to issue the contract sales organization shares of common stock as compensation for its services. The Company has determined that the fair value of the common stock was more readily determinable than the fair value of the services rendered. Accordingly, the Company recorded the fair market value of the stock as compensation expense. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company issued 74,647 and 25,000 shares of common stock, respectively, in connection with this agreement.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded $92,000 and $47,000 of stock compensation expense related to this agreement, respectively. The expense was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

 

Anti-dilution Adjustments

 

Pursuant to anti-dilution provisions contained in the August 13, 2007 private placement and in the placement agent warrant agreement, for various financing transactions and common stock issuances, the Company is required to adjust the exercise price and the number of warrants held by each warrant holder under these agreements.  Over-time, the exercise price for the warrants has been adjusted from the original exercise price of $9.50 to $3.76.  At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, there were 835,935 and 762,876 warrants outstanding that contain this anti-dilution provision, respectively.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company reduced the exercise price from $4.12 to $3.76 and issued an additional aggregate of 73,059 warrants as a result of the dilutive effect of the April 22, 2012 registered direct offering and due to shares issued to a service provider in a separate transaction. The warrants were classified as derivative liabilities in the June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012 condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Note 7. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for share-based awards exchanged for employee services at the estimated grant date fair value of the award. The Company amortizes the fair value of employee stock options on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the awards.  Compensation expense includes the impact of an estimate for forfeitures for all stock options. The estimated forfeiture rates used during the three months ended June 30, 2012 ranged from 2.53% to 2.95%.

 

Employee stock-based compensation expense is as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months
Ended
June 30,
 
   2012   2011 
Cost of revenues  $32   $20 
Research and development   67    62 
Selling, general and administrative   209    473 
Total stock-based compensation  $308   $555 

 

No income tax benefit has been recognized related to stock-based compensation expense and no tax benefits have been realized from exercised stock options.

 

At June 30, 2012, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $1,546,000 related to stock options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average amortization period of 1.74 years.

 

The Company did not capitalize any cost associated with stock-based compensation.

The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options.

 

A summary of all option activity as of June 30, 2012 and changes during the three months then ended is presented below:

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the stock options and the underlying fair value of the Company’s common stock ($0.74) for stock options that were in-the-money as of June 30, 2012.

 

Increase in Number of Shares Authorized in the 2006 Plan

 

As provided under the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), the aggregate number of shares authorized for issuance as awards under the 2006 Plan automatically increased on April 1, 2012 by 1,450,395 shares (which number constitutes 5% of the outstanding shares on the last day of the year ended March 31, 2012). At June 30, 2012, the total shares authorized for issuance from the 2006 Plan is 4,345,166.

 

Note 8. Income Taxes

 

The Company is not aware of any changes in ownership that would result in a change in control under Internal Revenue Code section 382. The Company, after considering all available evidence, fully reserved for these assets and its other deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not such benefits will not be realized in future periods. The Company has incurred losses for both financial reporting and income tax purposes for the year ended March 31, 2012.  Accordingly, the Company is continuing to fully reserve for its deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standards, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly.

 

As a result of certain realization requirements of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities do not include certain deferred tax assets at June 30, 2012 that arose directly from tax deductions related to equity compensation in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting purposes.  Equity will be increased by approximately $533,000 if and when such deferred tax assets are ultimately realized. 

 

The Company only recognizes tax benefits from an uncertain tax position if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution. To date, the Company has not recognized such tax benefits in its financial statements.

 

The Company has identified its federal tax return and its state tax return in California as major tax jurisdictions. The Company also filed tax returns in foreign jurisdictions, principally Mexico and The Netherlands. The Company’s evaluation of uncertain tax matters was performed for tax years ended through March 31, 2012. Generally, the Company is subject to audit for the years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 and may be subject to audit for amounts relating to net operating loss carryforwards generated in periods prior to March 31, 2009. The Company has elected to retain its existing accounting policy with respect to the treatment of interest and penalties attributable to income taxes, and continues to reflect interest and penalties attributable to income taxes, to the extent they arise, as a component of its income tax provision or benefit as well as its outstanding income tax assets and liabilities. The Company believes that its income tax positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments, other than those identified above that would result in a material change to its financial position.

Note 9. Segment and Geographic Information

 

The Company generates revenues from wound care products which are sold into the human and animal health care markets and the Company also generates revenues from laboratory testing services which are provided to medical device manufacturers. The Company operates a single segment business which consists of three geographical sales territories as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months 
   Ended 
   June 30, 
   2012   2011 
U.S.  $2,033   $840 
Mexico   1,378    1,380 
Europe and “Rest of World”   405    490 
   $3,816   $2,710 

 

The Company’s service revenues amounted to $235,000 and $230,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

Note 10.  Significant Customer Concentrations

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2012, one customer represented 28% of the quarter’s revenue, and for the three months ended June 30, 2011, one customer represented 19% of the quarter’s revenue.

 

At June 30, 2012, one customer represented 26%, and one customer represented 11% of the net accounts receivable balance. At March 31, 2012, one customer represented 13% and two customers each represented 12% of the net accounts receivable balance.

 

Note 11. Subsequent Events

 

On July 10, 2012, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors granted a cash bonus of $166,000 to Hojabr Alimi, Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. The bonus was granted pursuant to the FY 2012 Bonus Plan to Mr. Alimi for meeting his target milestones.

 

On July 25, 2012, the Company was notified that one of its strategic partners received a warning letter from the FDA regarding their manufacturing and marketing of certain Microcyn® Technology-based products. While the Company is still assessing the letter, it currently believes it does not have an obligation to respond to the FDA, although it may choose to assist its partner in the partner’s response. It is possible such letter will have a material impact on the Company’s business. However, the Company cannot predict when or how its partner will respond to the FDA or if its partner will adequately address all of the FDA’s concerns. If the partner does not meet all of the FDA’s concerns, the partner may cease selling some or all of the Company’s products. It is also possible that the FDA may require the partner to take other actions regarding the Company’s products including a recall. If the partner ceases to sell the Company’s products on a temporary or permanent basis, the Company’s revenues will be adversely affected.

Our Business

 

We are a commercial healthcare company that designs, produces, and markets innovative, safe and effective drugs, devices, and nutritional products. We are pioneering innovative products for the dermatology, surgical, wound care, and animal healthcare markets. Our primary focus is on our proprietary technology platform called Microcyn® Technology. This technology is based on electrically charged oxychlorine small molecules designed to target a wide range of organisms that cause disease (pathogens). These include viruses, fungi, spores and antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, or MRSA, and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus, or VRE, in wounds, as well as Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, a highly contagious bacteria spread by human contact. Several Microcyn® Technology tissue care products are designed to treat infections and enhance healing while reducing the need for antibiotics. Infection is a serious potential complication in both chronic and acute wounds, and controlling infection is a critical step in wound healing.

 

We do not have the necessary regulatory approvals to market Microcyn® as a drug or as a medical device with an antimicrobial or wound healing indication in the United States. In the future, we expect to apply with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, for clearance as an antimicrobial in a liquid and a hydrogel form.

 

Outside the United States, our Microcyn® Technology products have CE Mark device approval in Europe for debriding, irrigating and moistening acute and chronic wounds in comprehensive wound treatment by reducing microbial load and creating a moist environment. In Mexico, we are approved as a drug for antiseptic treatment of wounds and infected areas. In India, our technology has a drug license for cleaning and debriding in wound management.  In China, we have obtained a medical device approval by the State Food and Drug Administration for reducing the propagation of microbes in wounds and creating a moist environment for wound healing.

 

While we do not have the necessary regulatory clearance for an antimicrobial or wound healing indication in the United States, several factors including global product experience, clinical and laboratory testing, physician-led clinical studies based on our technology, and scientific papers authored on our technology, suggest that our Microcyn® Technology may help reduce a wide range of pathogens from acute and chronic wounds while curing or improving infection and concurrently enhancing wound healing through modes of action unrelated to the treatment of infection. These physician-led clinical studies suggest that our Microcyn® Technology is safe, easy to use and complementary to many existing treatment methods in wound care. Physician-led clinical studies and usage in the United States suggest that our 510(k) cleared products may shorten hospital stays, lower aggregate patient care costs and, in certain cases, reduce the need for systemic antibiotics. We are also pursuing the use of our Microcyn® Technology platform in other markets outside of wound and skin care, including the respiratory, ophthalmology, dental, dermatology, animal healthcare and industrial markets.

 

Common methods of controlling infection, including topical antiseptics and antibiotics, have proven to be only moderately effective in combating infection in the wound bed. However, topical antiseptics tend to inhibit the healing process due to their toxicity and may require specialized preparation or handling. Antibiotics can lead to the emergence of resistant bacteria, such as MRSA and VRE. Systemic antibiotics may be less effective in controlling infection in patients with disorders affecting circulation, such as diabetes, which are commonly associated with chronic wounds. As a result, no single treatment is used across all types of wounds and stages of healing and we believe Microcyn® Technology can fill a niche in the chronic and acute wound care markets.

 

We believe Microcyn® Technology is a stable, anti-infective therapeutic that treats infections and enhances wound healing through increased blood flow to the wound bed and reduction of chronic inflammation. Also, we believe Microcyn® Technology provides significant advantages over current methods of care in the treatment of a wide range of chronic and acute wounds throughout all stages of treatment. These stages include cleaning, debridement, prevention and treatment of infections and wound healing. We believe that unlike antibiotics, antiseptics, growth regulators and other advanced wound care products, Microcyn® Technology is a stable wound care solution that is as safe as saline, and also treats infection while simultaneously accelerating wound healing. Also, unlike most antibiotics, we believe Microcyn® Technology does not target specific strains of bacteria, a practice which has been shown to promote the development of resistant bacteria. In addition, our products are shelf stable, non-toxic, require no special preparation and are easy to use.

 

Our goal is to become a worldwide leader as the standard of care in the treatment and irrigation of open wounds and skin care. We currently have, and intend to seek additional, regulatory clearances and approvals to market our Microcyn-based products worldwide. In July 2004, we began selling Microdacyn60™ in Mexico after receiving approval from the Mexican Ministry of Health, for use as an antiseptic, disinfectant and sterilant. Since then, physicians and scientists in the United States, Europe, India, Pakistan, China and Mexico have conducted more than 40 clinical and scientific studies of Microcyn® Technology, generating data suggesting that the technology is non-irritating to healthy tissue, reduces microbial load, accelerates wound healing, reduces pain, shortens treatment time and may have the potential to reduce costs to healthcare providers and patients. Most of these studies were not intended to be rigorously designed or controlled clinical trials and, as such, did not have all of the controls required for clinical trials used to support a new drug application submission to the FDA. A number of these studies did not include blinding, randomization, predefined clinical end points, use of placebo and active control groups or U.S. Good Clinical Practice (GCP) requirements. We used the data generated from some of these studies to support our application for the CE Mark, the European Union certification, for wound cleaning and reduction of microbial load. We received the CE Mark in November 2004 and additional international approvals in China, Canada, Mexico and India. To date, our Microcyn-based products have received seven FDA 510(k) clearances. Many of these clearances are for use as a medical device in wound cleaning, or debridement, lubricating, moistening and dressing, including traumatic wounds and acute and chronic dermal lesions.

In December 2011, we initiated a voluntary recall of select lot numbers of certain of our Microcyn-based products due to product labeling. The voluntary recall was prompted after notification by the FDA that a limited number of our products were improperly labeled. The recall has been classified by the FDA as a Class II recall, which means the probability of serious health consequences is remote. Customer safety and product quality are critically important to us and to date, we have received no complaints regarding customer safety or product quality issues. The costs of the voluntary recall were nominal and there were no restrictions on our future sales of Microcyn-based products, other than revising our product labeling for certain products. The voluntary recall did not materially impact revenues.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

In the quarter ending December 31, 2008, our initial sales were in the podiatry market in the United States. In the second quarter of 2009, we expanded our sales efforts to include wound care centers, hospitals, nursing homes, urgent care clinics and home healthcare, utilizing a contract sales organization to aid our sales force. We continue to seek opportunities to expand the applicability of our products. Our products are purchased by, among others, hospitals, physicians, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners who are the primary caregivers to patients being treated for acute or chronic wounds or undergoing surgical procedures as well as to dermatologists for treatment of various skin afflictions.

 

We currently make Microcyn-based human wound and skin care products available, both as prescription and over-the-counter products, under our seven 510(k) clearances in the United States, primarily through a combination of partnerships with Advocos LLC, a specialty U.S. contract sales organization, and with such partners as Amneal Enterprises, PreCision Dermatology and Eloquest Healthcare, Inc., a subsidiary of Ferndale Pharma, Inc., described in greater detail below. Specifically, we have announced the commercialization of a Microcyn® product for wound care sold through a combination of contract and commissioned sales forces and by Eloquest Healthcare, and the commercialization of Microcyn® products for dermatology through partnerships with Quinnova Pharmaceuticals and PreCision Dermatology. Our partner, Union Springs Pharmaceuticals, a subsidiary of the Drug Enhancement Company of America, has marketed MyClyns, an over-the-counter “first responder” pen application with Microcyn as a component, in the United States since January 2008.

 

Additionally, through our partner Innovacyn, Inc., we currently make available Microcyn Technology-based animal healthcare products branded as Vetericyn in the United States and Europe. We plan to introduce these products into Canada and have received approval from Health Canada to begin marketing our products in their country, and in the future, we plan to expand to Asia.

 

We intend to pursue additional regulatory approvals in Europe, China, India and Mexico for our Microcyn® Technology tissue care products and plan to initiate commercialization upon obtaining these approvals.

 

Animal Healthcare

 

On January 26, 2009, we entered into a commercial agreement with VetCure, Inc., a California corporation, to market and sell our Vetericyn products. VetCure, Inc. later changed its name to Vetericyn, Inc., which, at the time, was wholly owned by Mr. Robert Burlingame. This agreement was amended on February 24, 2009, July 24, 2009, June 1, 2010, and November 1, 2010. Pursuant to the agreement, we provide Vetericyn, Inc. with bulk product and Vetericyn, Inc. bottles, packages, and sells Vetericyn products. We receive a fixed amount for each bottle of Vetericyn sold by Vetericyn, Inc. At the time of each of these 2009 transactions, Vetericyn was wholly owned by Mr. Burlingame, who was also our Director at that time. Mr. Burlingame resigned from our Board on February 10, 2010. After his resignation, Mr. Burlingame continued to own a significant portion of our stock from a transaction with us in 2009. To our knowledge, he ceased being a holder of more than 5% of our common stock in 2010.

 

On September 15, 2009, we entered a commercial agreement with V&M Industries, Inc., a California corporation, to market and sell our Microcyn over-the-counter liquid and gel products. V&M Industries, Inc. subsequently changed their name to Innovacyn, Inc.  On June 1, 2010, September 1, 2010, and November 1, 2010, we amended this agreement granting Innovacyn, Inc. the exclusive right to sell certain of our over-the-counter products. On May 13, 2010, Innovacyn received confirmation from Health Canada that it has approval to market these veterinary products in the Canadian market as well. At the time of the 2009 transaction, V&M Industries, Inc. was wholly owned by Robert Burlingame, who was also our Director at that time. Mr. Burlingame resigned from our Board on February 10, 2010. After his resignation, Mr. Burlingame continued to own a significant portion of our stock from a transaction with us in 2009. To our knowledge, he ceased being a holder of more than 5% of our common stock in 2010.

 

Additionally, beginning on July 1, 2011, Vetericyn, Inc. and Innovacyn, Inc. share profits with us related to the Vetericyn and Microcyn over-the-counter sales, resulting in about a 30% royalty of net revenue.

Acute Care in U.S. Hospitals

 

On August 1, 2011, we entered into a multi-year licensing agreement with Eloquest Healthcare, Inc., a subsidiary of Ferndale Pharma Group, Inc. Under this agreement, we granted Eloquest Healthcare an exclusive license to market certain Microcyn-based wound care products under the Eloquest Healthcare brand to hospitals, ambulatory surgical and acute care centers in the United States. In March 2012, Ferndale/ Eloquest launched a family of Microcyn-based wound care products.

 

Critical Care

 

On August 22, 2011, we entered into an agreement to license the exclusive global rights to a unique endotracheal tube, or ETT, from the National Institutes of Health. We believe the ETT represents a potential breakthrough technology in mitigating ventilator-associated pneumonia. Under the licensing agreement, we agreed to pay a nonrefundable royalty of $20,000 within sixty days of the effective date of the agreement, minimum annual royalties of $5,000, and additional royalties based off of net sales from use of the license. The patent term of the ETT expires on March 15, 2025. The ETT requires a device clearance in the United States and we expect to obtain such clearance in the near future.  

   

Dermatology

 

On November 8, 2010, we announced a definitive agreement with Onset Therapeutics, now called PreCision Dermatology, Inc. Under this agreement, PreCision Dermatology combined our Microcyn® hydrogel with its new skin barrier product into a prescription convenience kit. The kit was launched in the first quarter of 2011 and sales are targeted toward patients with atopic dermatitis and related conditions. PreCision Dermatology has a sales force of about 35 people whom market a complete line of dermatology products throughout the United States.

 

On February 14, 2011, we announced the formation of a broad multi-year collaboration with Amneal Enterprises to realize the development and commercial potential of Microcyn® Technology. Amneal Enterprises is an affiliation of independent pharmaceutical marketing, discovery and development companies.  As a part of this collaboration, Quinnova Pharmaceuticals, Inc., an Amneal alliance member, has licensed, with a $500,000 prepayment and ongoing double-digit royalties, the U.S. and Canadian rights to the Microcyn-based dermatology atopic dermatitis hydrogel that received FDA clearance in February 2011. Future prescription dermatology products can also be licensed for undisclosed upfront payments.  In addition, Quinnova agreed to co-promote the current prescription Microcyn-based wound care products to podiatry professionals in the United States and Canada. Quinnova has a sales force of over 35 people, selling to dermatologists and podiatrists with a complete line of dermatology products. In addition, Quinnova launched the AtraproTM family of products formulated from Microcyn® Technology platform in late February 2012.

 

Additionally, we sold the option to exclusively sell and distribute our proprietary Microcyn-based acne drug candidate to AmDerma Pharmaceuticals, LLC, an Amneal alliance member, for a one-time non-refundable payment of $500,000.  On June 23, 2011, AmDerma exercised its option to license rights to the drug candidate. On June 21, 2012, we entered into a collaboration agreement with AmDerma. Pursuant to the agreement, AmDerma is responsible for the development of a Microcyn-based acne drug candidate in the United States, including all activities required to gain regulatory approvals. AmDerma will also be responsible for all costs. Additionally, within one year of the first commercial sale by AmDerma, AmDerma shall identify at least one secondary indication that AmDerma will develop. If AmDerma declines to pursue such secondary indication, then the right to develop such secondary indication will revert back to us. We granted AmDerma an exclusive, royalty-bearing perpetual license in the United States and India, with the right to sublicense and subcontract in certain circumstances, and a right of first refusal to expand the territory of the license to include the European Union, Canada, Brazil, and Japan. We retained rights to the “rest of world.” The option payment of $500,000 will be credited against future milestone payments in the transaction.

 

Marketing Abroad

 

We currently rely on exclusive agreements with country-specific distributors for the sale of Microcyn-based products in Europe, including in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Sweden, Finland and Denmark.

 

In Mexico, we market our products through our established distribution network and a direct sales organization. We have a dedicated contract sales force, including salespeople, nurses and clinical support staff, responsible for selling Microcyn to private and public hospitals and to retail pharmacies.  Our dedicated sales force, comprised of over 30 people based in Mexico, is focused on the wound care and dermatology markets.  We have also launched a dermatology product, designed to treat acne in the country.

 

In India, we entered into an exclusive agreement with Alkem Laboratories, a large pharmaceutical company in India, for the sale of Microcyn-based products in India and Nepal.

 

18
 

 

 

On January 28, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Tianjin Ascent Import and Export Company, Ltd., a distributor in China, to sell certain of our liquid products, which are currently sold under the product name “Microcyn” in the United States, into the People’s Republic of China. Pursuant to the agreement, we received a $350,000 non-refundable upfront payment from the distributor in return for exclusivity to sell these liquid products for the first contract year. In order to maintain exclusivity in subsequent years, the distributor will need to meet minimum purchase requirements each contract year. The initial term of the contract is for five years and is cancellable if certain conditions are not met.

 

On June 26, 2011, we entered into an agreement with Shanghai Sunvic Technology Co. Ltd., a distributor in China, to sell certain of our gel products, which are currently sold under the product name “Microcyn” in the United States, into the People’s Republic of China. The initial term of the contract is for five years and is cancellable if certain conditions are not met.

 

Throughout the rest of the world, we intend to use strategic partners and distributors who have a significant sales, marketing and distribution presence in their respective countries. We have established partners and distribution channels for our wound care products in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Singapore, United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

 

Nutritional Products

 

We established a nutritional products division under the name Napa Valley Nutritionals, in the beginning of 2012 to expand our product pipeline. Under this division based out of Sacramento, California, we aim to develop and manufacture medical foods that combine the best of science and nature to create products which provide patients with natural healthcare therapies with a particular focus on the development of products to assist diabetics.

 

We launched our first nutritional product in April 2012, GlucoreinTM Green Tea with chlorogenic acid, a medical food intended for the dietary management of glucose levels in both pre-diabetics and type 2 diabetics under the supervision of a medical professional. Our product is currently being test-marketed in the United States and by medical professionals. Primary marketing efforts for our nutritional products are directed toward securing the recommendation of our Napa Valley Nutritional brand of products by physicians or other health care professionals.

 

Competition for nutritional products in the segment is generally from other consumer and healthcare manufacturers. Competitive factors include consumer advertising, formulation, packaging, scientific innovation, intellectual property, price, and availability of product forms. A significant aspect of competition is the search for ingredient innovations. The introduction of new products by competitors, changes in medical practices and procedures, and regulatory changes can result in product obsolescence. In addition, private label and local manufacturers' products may increase competitive pressure.

 

Contract Testing

 

We also operate a microbiology contract testing laboratory division that provides consulting and laboratory services to medical companies that design and manufacture biomedical devices and drugs, as well as testing on our products and potential products. Our testing laboratory complies with U.S. Current Good Manufacturing Practices (CGMPs) and Quality Systems Regulations.

 

Comparison of Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 and 2011

 

Revenues

 

Total revenues were $4,051,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $2,940,000 for the same period in the prior year. Product revenues increased $1,106,000, or 41%, with increases in the United States, the Middle East and Singapore, offset by a decline in Europe, India and China.

 

Product revenue in the United States increased $1,193,000, or 142%, due to both unit growth and new product launches into the dermatology market, and higher unit growth and increased royalty fees received from our partner Innovacyn, Inc. Effective July 1, 2011, the royalty rate we receive from Innovacyn increased from approximately 19% to approximately 30%. We recorded revenue in the amounts of $1,136,000 and $563,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Revenue growth attributed to our dermatology partners reflected strong unit growth and heavy sampling as three new product lines were launched in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.

 

Revenue in Mexico for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $2,000 from the same period in the prior year. When adjusted for the impact of foreign currency fluctuation, revenue in Mexico increased 15% when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in local currency was driven by a 33% increase in sales of our 120 ml, 240 ml and gel presentations, partially offset by a 19% decrease in sales of our 5 liter presentation. The growth in our 120 ml, 240 ml and gel presentations occurred as a result of unit growth of 21% in the 120 ml, 240 ml and gel categories and a 32% unit decline in the 5 liter presentation as a result of slower unit growth in sales to public hospital.

 

19
 

 

 

Revenue in Europe and Rest of World for the three months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $85,000, or 17% over the same period in the prior year, primarily as the result of decreases in sales in Europe, India, and China, partially offset by increases in the Middle East and Singapore.

 

The following table shows our product revenues by geographic region:

 

   Quarter ended
Ended June 30,
         
   2012   2011   $ Change   % Change 
United States  $2,033,000   $840,000   $1,193,000    142%
Mexico   1,378,000    1,380,000    (2,000)   0%
Europe and “Rest of World”   405,000    490,000    (85,000)   (17)%
Total  $3,816,000   $2,710,000   $1,106,000    41%

 

Service revenue increased $5,000 when compared to the prior year due to an increase in the number of tests provided by our services business.

 

Gross Profit

 

We reported gross profit related to our Microcyn® products of $2,828,000 or 74% of product revenues, during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to a gross profit of $1,920,000, or 71%, for the same period in the prior quarter. Our improved gross profit is primarily the result of higher gross profit margins for products sold in the U.S. Our gross margins in Mexico were 77% of product revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to 81% for the same period in the prior quarter.

 

Research and Development Expense

 

Research and development expense increased $96,000, or 22%, to $532,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $436,000 for the same period in the prior quarter due to increased tests and studies conducted during the three months ended June 30, 2012 primarily related to the initiation of a study for the treatment of scars.

 

We expect that our research and development expense will increase slightly over the next few quarters as we incur additional expenses related to laboratory tests, clinical trials and the development and approval of new products.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

 

Selling, general and administrative expense decreased $684,000, or 19%, to $2,847,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012, from $3,531,000 during the same period in the prior quarter. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily due to lower stock compensation expenses of $428,000 incurred and lower salary related expenses.

 

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to grow slightly in future periods as we incur additional expenses as we continue to expand our sales efforts in the United States and Europe.

 

Interest Expense and Interest Income

 

Interest expense increased $126,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period of the prior quarter. The increase relates to an additional $34,000 of cash interest incurred and an additional $92,000 of non-cash interest incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2012. The cash and non-cash interest is related to borrowings from Venture Lending & Leasing V, Inc. and Venture Lending & Leasing VI, Inc.  Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 showed no material change from the same period of the prior quarter.

   

20
 

 

 

Other Expense, Net

 

Other expense, net decreased $72,000 to other expense, net of $20,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $92,000 for the same period in the prior quarter. The change in other expense, net for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was primarily related to unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses on intercompany transactions and tax accruals.

 

Derivative Liabilities

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a decrease in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $1,247,000 and as a result we recorded this amount as a non-cash gain. For the three months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded a non-cash gain of $96,000. The change in the fair value of our derivative liability for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to the same period in the prior year was primarily the result of decreases in our stock price, and the issuance of warrants and Series A Preferred Stock in connection with our April 2012 registered direct offering that took place during the quarter.

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $445,000, an increase of $2,620,000, as compared to a net loss of $2,175,000 for the same period in the prior quarter.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We incurred a net income of $445,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, our accumulated deficit amounted to $131,869,000. We had working capital of $3,086,000 as of June 30, 2012. In the future, we may raise additional capital from external sources in order to continue the longer term efforts contemplated under our business plan. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives, to penetrate markets for the sale of our products and continue as a going concern. We cannot provide any assurances that we will be able to raise additional capital. Our management believes that we have access to capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, debt financings, corporate collaborations or other means, if needed; however, we have not secured any commitment for new financing at this time, nor can we provide any assurance that new financing will be available on commercially acceptable terms, if needed.

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

As of June 30, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $4,399,000. Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through sales of equity securities. Other sources of financing that we have used to date include our revenues, as well as various loans.

 

Since July 1, 2010, substantially all of our operations have been financed through the following transactions:

 

  proceeds of $313,000 received from the exercise of common stock purchase warrants and options;
  proceeds of $3,000,000 received from the issuance of a debt instrument in the year ended March 31, 2011;
  proceeds of $2,500,000 received from the issuance of a debt instrument in the year ended March 31, 2012;
  net proceeds of $1,894,000 received from a registered direct offering of common stock on December 28, 2011; and
  net proceeds of $2,832,000 received from a registered direct offering on April 22, 2012.

 

On April 22, 2012, we entered into agreements with institutional and accredited investors to issue up to: a) 2,360,001 shares of common stock b) 1,000 shares of Series A 0% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”); and c) warrants to purchase up to 3,471,112 shares of common stock (the “Warrants”). We also offered up to 1,111,111 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and 3,471,112 shares of common stock in the event the Warrants are exercised. The Warrants have an initial exercise price of $1.18 per share, are not exercisable for six months from the date of issuance, and have an exercise term of 2.5 years from the date of issuance. We received approximately $3,124,000 in gross proceeds from the sale of these securities. Net proceeds after deducting the placement agent commissions, legal expenses and other offering expenses, and assuming no exercise of the Warrants, was $2,832,000. We retained Rodman & Renshaw, LLC as the exclusive placement agent for this offering, and paid them $218,680 in placement agent commissions. On May 4, 2012, the investor converted 1,000 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock purchased in the transaction into 1,111,111 shares of common stock.

 

Cash Flows

 

As of June 30, 2012, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $4,399,000 compared to $3,351,000 at March 31, 2012.

 

21
 

 

 

Net cash used in operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2012 was $1,264,000, primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable of $1,218,000 as a result of increased revenues and the timing of customer payments.  Additionally, the $1,247,000 gain on the value of our derivative liabilities was offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities and other non-cash charges.

   

Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $529,000 primarily due to the $2,175,000 net loss for the period which was offset in part by non-cash transactions during the three months ended June 30, 2011, including $812,000 of stock-based compensation, and an $96,000 gain on the fair value adjustment of our derivative liability and an increase in our accrued liabilities of $530,000.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $33,000 and $78,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, primarily related to the purchase of equipment.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,365,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012.  During the period ended June 30, 2012, we received net proceeds from the registered direct offering of common and preferred stock of $2,832,000. The offering proceeds were offset by principal payments on the debt in the amount of $467,000. 

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,259,000 the three months ended June 30, 2011, primarily due to the issuance of $1,500,000 of debt which was offset by payments of $257,000 of outstanding debt during the period. We also received $16,000 in connection with the exercise of stock options.

    

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

 

We incurred a net income of $445,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012. At June 30, 2012, our accumulated deficit amounted to $131,869,000. At June 30, 2012, our working capital amounted to $3,086,000.

 

We may need to raise additional capital from external sources in order to continue the longer term efforts contemplated under our business plan. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives and to penetrate markets for the sale of our products.

 

In order for us to potentially commercialize Microcyn® as a drug product in the United States, we must conduct clinical trials, which can be costly. Therefore, commencement of such pivotal clinical trials will be delayed until we find a strategic partner to assist with funding. Without a strategic partner or additional capital, our pivotal clinical trials will be delayed for a period of time that is currently indeterminate.

 

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

 

  the scope, rate of progress and cost of our clinical trials and other research and development activities;

 

  future clinical trial results;

 

  the terms and timing of any collaborative, licensing and other arrangements that we may establish;

 

  the cost and timing of regulatory approvals;

 

  the cost and delays in product development as a result of any changes in regulatory oversight applicable to our products;

 

  the cost and timing of establishing sales, marketing and distribution capabilities;

 

  the effect of competing technological and market developments;

 

  the cost of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing any patent claims and other intellectual property rights; and

   

  the extent to which we acquire or invest in businesses, products and technologies.

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. These estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-term assets, deferred taxes and related valuation allowances, the valuation of equity and derivative instruments, and debt discounts.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

As a smaller reporting company, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level.

 

(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On July 25, 2011, we received notice of a lawsuit filed in Mexico by Cesar Mangotich Pacheco and Prodinnv, S.A. de C.V. represented by Cesar Mangotich Pacheco. The lawsuit appears to allege conversion of assets, tortious interference and defamation, among other claims. We are currently evaluating the lawsuit, conferring with local counsel and translating the documents we have received. Our preliminary assessment is that the lawsuit is completely without merit and intend to vigorously defend our position. We have not accrued a loss reserve for this matter.

 

Our Company, on occasion, may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

There have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, as filed with the SEC on June 21, 2012, except as follows:

 

If any of our third-party contractors fail to perform their responsibilities to comply with FDA rules and regulations, the manufacture, marketing and sales of our products could be delayed, which could decrease our revenues.

 

Supplying the market with our Microcyn® Technology products requires us to manage relationships with an increasing number of collaborative partners, suppliers and third-party contractors. As a result, our success depends partially on the success of these third parties in performing their responsibilities to comply with FDA rules and regulations. Although we pre-qualify our contractors and we believe that they are fully capable of performing their contractual obligations, we cannot directly control the adequacy and timeliness of the resources and expertise that they apply to these activities. For example, we and our suppliers are required to comply with the FDA’s quality system regulations, which cover the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production, control, quality assurance, labeling, packaging, storage and shipping of our products. The FDA enforces the quality system regulation through inspections.

 

On July 25, 2012, we were notified that one of our strategic partners received a warning letter from the FDA regarding their manufacturing and marketing of certain Microcyn® Technology-based products. While we are still assessing the letter, we currently believe we do not have an obligation to respond to the FDA, although we may choose to assist our partner in their response. It is possible such letter will have a material impact on our business. However, we cannot predict when or how our partner will respond to the FDA or if our partner will adequately address all of the FDA’s concerns. If our partner does not meet all of the FDA’s concerns, our partner may cease selling some or all of our products. It is also possible that the FDA may require our partner to take other actions regarding our products including a recall. If our partner ceases to sell our products on a temporary or permanent basis, our revenues will be adversely affected.

 

If any of our partners or contractors fail to perform their obligations in an adequate and timely manner, or fail to comply with the FDA’s rules and regulations, including failure to comply with quality systems regulations or a corrective action submitted to the FDA after notification by the FDA of a deficiency is deemed insufficient, then the manufacture, marketing and sales of our products could be delayed. Our products could be detained or seized, the FDA could order a recall, or require our partner to replace or offer refunds for our products. The FDA could also require our partner, and depending on our agreement with our partner, us to notify health professionals and others that the products present unreasonable risks of substantial harm to the public health. If any of these events occur, the manufacture, marketing and sales of our products could be delayed which could decrease our revenues.

 

If we fail to comply with the FDA’s rules and regulations and are subject to a FDA recall as part of an FDA enforcement action, the associated costs could like have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Our Company, our products, the manufacturing facilities for our products, the distribution of our products, and our promotion and marketing materials are subject to strict and continual review and periodic inspection by the FDA and other regulatory agencies for compliance with pre-approval and post-approval regulatory requirements.

 

If we fail to comply with the FDA’s rules and regulations, we could be subject to an enforcement action by the FDA. The FDA could undertake regulatory actions, including seeking a consent decree, recalling or seizing our products, ordering a total or partial shutdown of production, delaying future marketing clearances or approvals, and withdrawing or suspending certain of our current products from the market. A product recall, restriction, or withdrawal could result in substantial and unexpected expenditures, destruction of product inventory, and lost revenues due to the unavailability of one or more of our products for a period of time, which could reduce profitability and cash flow. In addition, a product recall or withdrawal could divert significant management attention and financial resources. If any of our products are subject to an FDA recall, we could incur significant costs and suffer economic losses. Production of our products could be suspended and we could be required to establish inventory reserves to cover estimated inventory losses for all work-in-process and finished goods related to products we or our third-party contractors manufacture. A recall of a material amount of our products could have a significant, unfavorable impact on our future gross margins.

 

If our products fail to comply with FDA and other governmental regulations, or our products are deemed defective, we may be required to recall our products and we could suffer adverse public relations that could adversely impact our sales, operating results, and reputation which would adversely affect our business operations.

 

We may be exposed to product recalls, including voluntary recalls or withdrawals, and adverse public relations if our products are alleged to cause injury or illness, or if we are alleged to have mislabeled or misbranded our products or otherwise violated governmental regulations. Governmental authorities can also require product recalls or impose restrictions for product design, manufacturing, labeling, clearance, or other issues. For the same reasons, we may also voluntarily elect to recall, restrict the use of a product or withdraw products that we consider below our standards, whether for quality, packaging, appearance or otherwise, in order to protect our brand reputation.

 

Product recalls, product liability claims (even if unmerited or unsuccessful), or any other events that cause consumers to no longer associate our brand with high quality and safe products may also result in adverse publicity, hurt the value of our brand, harm our reputation among our customers and other healthcare professionals who use or recommend the products, lead to a decline in consumer confidence in and demand for our products, and lead to increased scrutiny by federal and state regulatory agencies of our operations, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our brand, business, performance, prospects, value, results of operations and financial condition.
