REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


NATURE OF OPERATIONS


REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company”, “RMS”, or “we”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market and emergency medical applications as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality management systems.  The Company operates as one segment.


FISCAL YEAR END


On March 22, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from February 28 to December 31.


BASIS OF PRESENTATION


The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2017, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with instructions to SEC regulation S-X for interim financial statements.


In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2017, and the results of operations and cash flow for the three and seven month periods ended September 30, 2017, and 2016.


The results of operations for the three and seven months ended September 30, 2017, and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended February 28, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.


USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Important estimates include but are not limited to, asset lives, valuation allowances, inventory, and accruals.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09—Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments in this update affect any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.  Based upon our initial evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material effect on our financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


- 6 -



In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities.  For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected.  For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down.  This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Full or modified retrospective adoption is required and early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Deferral of the Effective Date, which (a) delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and (b) allows early adoption of the ASU by all entities as of the original effective date for public entities.  We currently anticipate adopting the new standard using the modified retrospective method beginning January 1, 2018.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to clarify identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis.  The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by update 2014-09).  In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20 Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which represents changes to make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.  This update is the final, combined version of Proposed Accounting Standards Updates 2016-240 and 2016-320 (both entitled Technical Corrections and Improvements), which have been deleted.  We do not expect the adoption of the standard and related amendments to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  The main difference between the current requirement under GAAP and this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.  This ASU requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease).  The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments.  The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs.  For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance.  Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases).  Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting.  For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases.  This is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted.  This ASU must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients.  Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.  We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


The Company maintains a long-term incentive stock benefit plan under which it grants stock options and restricted stock to certain directors and key employees.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All options are charged against income at their fair value.  The entire compensation expense of the award is recognized over the vesting period. Shares of stock granted are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date, over the vesting period.


RECLASSIFICATION


Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income.


NOTE 2  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

NOTE 4  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


Lawyers representing EMED Technologies Corp. (“EMED”) sent RMS a letter dated, May 1, 2013, which alleged that the RMS High-Flo Butterfly design infringed a patent controlled by EMED.  RMS disputed this claim and believes that our design did not infringe and that the EMED patent itself was not valid.  Under advice of counsel, on September 20, 2013, the Company commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California a Declaratory Judgment action against competitor, EMED to establish the invalidity of one of EMED’s patents and non-infringement of the Company’s needle sets. EMED answered the complaint and asserted patent infringement and unfair business practice counterclaims. The Company responded by asserting its own unfair business practice claims against EMED. Both parties have requested injunctive relief and monetary damages. Discovery is ongoing.


On June 16, 2015, the Court issued what it termed a “narrow” Preliminary Injunction against the Company from making certain statements regarding some of EMED’s products. On June 23, 2016, EMED filed a Motion seeking to have the Company held in contempt, claiming that certain language in the Company’s device labeling does not comply with the injunction. In response to a Show Cause Order, the Company advised the Court that the language in the Company’s labeling that EMED challenged is language that the FDA directed the Company to use in its labeling. The Court discharged the Show Cause Order, effectively rejecting EMED’s contempt argument.


On March 24, 2016, EMED filed a Motion seeking a second Preliminary Injunction prohibiting RMS from selling three of its products in California.  The Company opposed that Motion on April 19, 2016.  The Order denying this second Preliminary Injunction was issued June 6, 2017.


On August 22, 2017, the Company filed a Motion seeking a Preliminary Injunction prohibiting EMED from making false statements and claims regarding the products of both companies.  EMED filed a Response and Objections to Company’s motion on September 21, 2017, and Company filed a subsequent Reply on September 28, 2017.  The Court issued a Minute Order on September 22, 2017 vacating a hearing set for October 5, 2017, and stating that if the Court determines oral hearings to be required, the parties will be notified.  Presently, the parties are awaiting further action by the Court.


On June 25, 2015, EMED filed a claim of patent infringement for the second of its patents, also directed to the Company’s needle sets, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.  This second patent is related to the one concerning the Company’s declaratory judgment action. Given the close relationship between the two patents, the Company requested that the Texas suit be transferred to California.  Also, based on a validity review of the patent in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), discussed below, the Company requested the Texas suit be stayed.  On May 12, 2016, the Court entered an order staying the case until after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) at the USPTO issued a final written decision regarding the validity of the patent.  On January 12, 2017, the PTAB issued its final written decision invalidating the claims asserted by EMED in the Texas litigation. On January 26, 2017, the Company and EMED requested that the Texas case remain stayed pending EMED’s appeal of the PTAB’s final ruling to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“CAFC”).


- 9 -



On September 11, 2015, the Company requested an ex parte reexamination of the patent in the first filed case, and on September 17, 2015 the Company requested an inter partes review (“IPR”) of the patent in the second filed case. On November 20, 2015, the USPTO instituted the ex parte reexamination request having found a substantial new question of patentability concerning EMED’s patent in the first filed case. All EMED claims have been rejected by the USPTO Examiner in a Final Office Action dated July 19, 2017.  EMED filed a response to this Final Office Action on September 15, 2017 that is awaiting consideration by the Examiner.  Thus, the ex parte reexamination is ongoing.  A decision to institute the IPR for EMED’s patent in the second filed case was ordered by the USPTO on February 19, 2016 having determined a reasonable likelihood all claims of the patent may be found to be unpatentable.  Oral argument for the IPR was held on November 22, 2016 and a final ruling issued on January 12, 2017.  In its final ruling, the PTAB held the claim asserted by EMED against the Company in the second filed case was invalid.  EMED appealed the PTAB’s final ruling, and EMED’s opening brief in the CAFC was filed on June 26, 2017.  The Company’s response brief was filed on August 3, 2017.  EMED filed a reply brief on August 17, 2017.  Presently, the parties are awaiting further action by the CAFC.


Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in these actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty. We believe that it is likely both patents will be determined invalid, however, if any of these actions against the Company are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.


NOTE 5  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY


On September 30, 2015, RMS’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to make open market purchases of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  The purchases are made through a broker designated by the Company, with price, timing and volume restrictions based on average daily trading volume, consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for such repurchases.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had repurchased 396,606 shares at an average price of $0.45.  The management of the Company has decided to discontinue repurchasing its outstanding common stock under the program for an undetermined period of time to utilize cash for capital investments needed to expand the business.


NOTE 6  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


On September 30, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the 2015 Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) authorizing the Company to grant stock option awards to certain officers, employees and consultants under the Plan, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 6, 2016.  The total number of shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), with respect to which awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan was not to exceed 2,000,000 shares.


On June 29, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the amendment to the Plan increasing the total number of shares of Common Stock to be subject to awards granted under the Plan to 4,000,000 shares.  On September 6, 2016, at the Annual Shareholder Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Plan as amended.


As of September 30, 2017, there were outstanding 1,163,000 options awarded to certain executives, key employees and advisory board members under the Plan.


On October 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved non-employee director compensation of $25,000 each annually, to be paid quarterly half in cash and half in common stock, beginning September 1, 2015.


The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the seven months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was $0.26 and zero, respectively. The fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the seven months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016. Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of the options.  The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of the U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued:

OVERVIEW


On March 22, 2017, the Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year end from February 28 to December 31.


During the three months ended September 30, 2017, our total net sales were up 19.5% compared with the same period last year, with the majority of the increase coming from higher volume from our domestic customers.  Our gross margin percentage, 61.8%, was not as high as the same period last year, 63.1%, mostly due to higher production costs related to scrap during quality inspections as we continue to work to implement a nondestructive testing protocol, which we expect to have implemented before the end of the calendar year.  Our selling, general and administrative costs were 10.4% lower for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same period last year mostly due to a significant reduction in legal fees for the quarter related to our litigation and regulatory efforts.


Our net sales for the seven months ended September 30, 2017 increased 26.0%, versus the same period last year.  Part of the increase was the result of backorders of $0.4 million at February 28, 2017 which were filled during the three month period ended June 30, 2017.  Excluding these backorders, net sales grew 18.0% driven by growth both domestically and internationally, which included a larger pump order from a national customer in the period and a large return of product related to a market withdrawal last year.  Our selling, general and administrative costs were 7.2% lower for the seven months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same period last year. We saw a significant reduction in legal fees related to our litigation and regulatory efforts.  However, we cannot predict whether this trend will continue, nor can we predict the outcome of the litigation or regulatory process.  We also had reductions in sales and marketing spend driven by reduced consulting fees that were incurred last year related to our website redesign, public relations, sales training and lead generation efforts and the timing of spend for current year marketing initiatives.  Offsetting these savings were increased salary and related benefit costs in our regulatory department due to headcount to support our regulatory compliance requirements and the addition of our Chief Operating Officer.


We continue to expand internationally, generating our first sales in Asia and Africa in the 2017 quarter.  The FDA issued a new 510(k) clearance for our Integrated Catch-Up Freedom Syringe Driver System, the first ever fully integrated 510(k) cleared system by the FDA, confirming the science behind the performance of using the dedicated RMS system.  It is also the only mechanical infusion system cleared for both subcutaneous drugs (SCIg) and intravenous (antibiotics), clearing the path for customers to invest in one system to meet all their needs.  The FDA renewed our Certificate to Foreign Government which is used to communicate to foreign governments that the FDA certified that RMS meets good manufacturing practices and quality system regulations.  We received registrations in new countries, launched our new flow controller in Europe and started several clinical trials with drug companies. Furthermore, we have launched a new marketing campaign, redesigned our packaging and entered the social media world to help extend our brand awareness.  We plan to continue to focus on global sales growth, cost control and new product development.  We have requested an extension on the lease for our facility as we continue to assess what our strategy for future expansion and growth requirements will be.

Total net sales increased $0.6 million or 19.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same period last year. This growth was driven mostly by increased volume from domestic sales.  We continue to concentrate the majority of our efforts in our infusion product lines, specifically towards new applications in both domestic and international markets.  During the quarter we generated our first sales in Asia and Africa, and we continue to pursue registrations in new countries.  We also continue to expand our sales efforts into the antibiotic market.


Gross Profit


Our gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

Gross profit increased $0.3 million or 17.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. This increase in the quarter was mostly driven by the increase in net sales of $0.6 million.  Partially offsetting this increase were higher production costs related to scrap during quality inspections as we work to implement a nondestructive testing protocol, which we expect to have implemented before the end of the calendar year.  Additionally, we still incurred slightly higher payroll costs as we built up inventory.


Selling, general and administrative and Research and development


Our selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 are as follows:

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 10.4%, during the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year.  The decrease was the result of a significant reduction in legal fees of $0.3 million related to our litigation and regulatory efforts.  We cannot predict whether this trend will continue, nor can we predict the outcome of the litigation.  We also had reduced expenses in sales and marketing of $0.1 million mostly due to lower salary and related costs due to attrition in Europe, lower overall marketing spend due to timing, all partially offset by recruiting fees in Europe.  Further offsetting the savings were increased costs of $0.1 million in our regulatory department due to headcount to support our regulatory compliance requirements and the addition of our Chief Operating Officer, as well as an increase in bad debt expense of $65,000 related to an international customer.  Research and development expense decreased 80.2% due to attrition.  We are committed to our research and development activities and are actively searching to replace the open positions.

Depreciation and amortization


Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 9.3% up to $77,517 in the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $70,935 in the three months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of continued investment in computer equipment, testing equipment, patent applications and maintenance of existing patents.

Total net sales increased $1.9 million or 26.0% for the seven months ended September 30, 2017 compared with the same period last year and was driven by both domestic and international sales.  Part of the increase was the result of backorders of $0.4 million at February 28, 2017 which were filled during the three month period ended June 30, 2017.  Excluding these backorders, net sales grew 18.0%.  The launch of a new drug generated increased needle sales as customers built inventory, a larger pump order was received from a national customer in the period and last year included a large return of product related to a market withdrawal.  We continue to concentrate the majority of our efforts in our infusion product lines, specifically towards new applications in both domestic and international markets.  We generated our first sales in Asia and Africa during the period, and we continue to pursue registrations in new countries.  We also continue to expand our sales efforts into the antibiotic market.

Gross profit increased $1.0 million or 21.5% in the seven months ended September 30, 2017, compared to the same period in 2016. This increase was driven by the increase in net sales of $1.9 million.  Partially offsetting this increase were higher production costs related to scrap during quality inspections as we work to implement a nondestructive testing protocol, higher sterilization costs due to more frequent cycles required to meet demand and backlog and increased shipping costs due to a backlog. We also had higher production salary and related benefits costs from overtime and the addition of a second shift to meet increased demand.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.4 million, or 7.2%, during the seven months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period last year.  The decrease was the result of a significant reduction in legal fees of $0.6 million related to our litigation and regulatory efforts.  We cannot predict whether this trend will continue, nor can we predict the outcome of the litigation.  We also had reductions in sales and marketing spend of $0.2 million driven by lower consulting fees related to our website redesign last year, timing of spend this year on marketing initiatives and tradeshows and lower salary and related costs due to attrition in Europe.  Partially offsetting these savings were increased costs in our regulatory department due to headcount to support our regulatory compliance requirements and the addition of our Chief Operating Officer, totaling $0.4 million, as well as an increase in bad debt expense of $65,000, related to an international customer.  Research and development expense decreased by $0.1 million, or 67.7%, primarily due to attrition for the period.  We are committed to our research and development activities and are actively searching to replace the open positions.


Depreciation and amortization


Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 7.4% up to $179,874 in the seven months ended September 30, 2017 compared with $167,513 in the seven months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of continued investment in computer equipment, testing equipment, patent applications and maintenance of existing patents.

Our net income for the seven months ended September 30, 2017 was $0.6 million compared to a net loss of $0.4 million for the seven months ended September 30, 2016..  This $1.0 million change was mostly a result of the increase in net sales and the reduced selling, general and administrative expenses as described above.  Additionally, the Company recognized $65,079 in foreign exchange gain for the period.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Our principal source of liquidity is our cash of $3.7 million as of September 30, 2017, and cash flows from operations.  Our principal source of operating cash inflows is from sales of our products to customers.  Our principal cash outflows relate to the purchase and production of inventory and related costs, selling, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures and patent costs.


We believe that as of September 30, 2017, cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations, including further research and development and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.  We believe the FREEDOM System continues to find a solid following in the SCIg market, and this market is expected to continue to increase both domestically and internationally.  In addition, we expect many of the SCIg providers, and others, will see benefit in using the FREEDOM System for additional uses such as antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, and pain medications.


We continue to be in litigation with a competitor, EMED Technologies Corp. (“EMED”) and have incurred a significant amount of legal fees in connection with that process.  Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in the actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty. If any of these actions against the Company are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

On September 30, 2015, RMS’s Board of Directors authorized the Company to make open market purchases of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.  The purchases are made through a broker designated by the Company, with price, timing and volume restrictions based on average daily trading volume, consistent with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for such repurchases.  As of September 30, 2017, the Company had repurchased 396,606 shares at an average price of $0.45.  The management of the Company has decided to discontinue repurchasing its outstanding Common Stock for an undetermined period of time to utilize cash for capital investments needed to expand the business.

Operating Activities


Net cash provided by operating activities of $0.5 million for the seven months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily attributable to net income of $0.6 million, non-cash charges of $0.2 million for depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible assets, a decrease in tax receivable of $0.1 million, and an increase in tax liability of $0.1 million.  Offsetting these were an increase in inventory of $0.2 million as we built up finished goods inventory after our backorder position at February 28, 2017 and the reduction of accounts payable of $0.4 million which was the result of the payment of legal fees accrued at February 28, 2017.


Net cash used in operating activities of $0.2 million for the seven months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to the operating loss of $0.4 million, an increase in accounts receivable of $0.3 million, an increase in prepaid expense of $0.1 million mostly due to an income tax receivable of $0.1 million due to the loss in the period and the decrease in tax liability of $0.2 million.  Partially offsetting these were non-cash charges of $0.2 million for depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible assets, stock based compensation expense of $0.1 million and an increase in accounts payable of $0.4 million mostly due to raw material purchases and legal fees.


Investing Activities


Our net cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million for the seven months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016 was primarily attributable to our continued investment in capital assets mostly related to production and for new patent applications and maintenance of existing patents.


Financing Activities


Our net cash used in financing activities was $19,360 and $120,577 for the seven months ended September 30, 2017 and September 30, 2016, respectively, and were a result of the repurchase of shares of the Company’s common stock.


FDA


RMS had an inspection by the FDA in June 2015, which included, among other items, a review of customer complaints, quality controls, quality assurance and documentation. The FDA inspection was then expanded as a consequence of an extensive “trade complaint” filed on behalf of a competitor which resulted in the issuance of an FDA FORM 483.  Eight months later, on February 29, 2016 we received a Warning Letter.  Since that time the Company has successfully addressed all quality and regulatory issues cited in the Warning Letter and the FDA FORM 483.  On October 2, 2017, the FDA conducted another inspection as a last step in closing the Warning Letter.  We anticipate the Warning Letter to be closed in the near future.


On April 19, 2017, the FDA renewed our Certificate to Foreign Government which is used to communicate to foreign governments that the FDA confirmed and certified that RMS meets U.S. FDA good manufacturing practices and quality system regulations.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2017-09—Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), which provides clarity and reduces both (1) diversity in practice and (2) cost and complexity when applying the guidance in Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to a change to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award.  The amendments in this update affect any entity that changes the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period, for (1) public business entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued and (2) all other entities for reporting periods for which financial statements have not yet been made available for issuance. The amendments in this update should be applied prospectively to an award modified on or after the adoption date.  Based upon our initial evaluation, we do not expect the adoption of the standard to have a material effect on our financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities.  For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected.  For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down.  This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash.  The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Full or modified retrospective adoption is required and early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Deferral of the Effective Date, which (a) delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and (b) allows early adoption of the ASU by all entities as of the original effective date for public entities.  We currently anticipate adopting the new standard using the modified retrospective method beginning January 1, 2018.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to clarify identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis.  The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by update 2014-09).  In December 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-20 Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which represents changes to make minor improvements to the Codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.  This update is the final, combined version of Proposed Accounting Standards Updates 2016-240 and 2016-320 (both entitled Technical Corrections and Improvements), which have been deleted.  We do not expect the adoption of the standard and related amendments to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.


- 17 -



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  The main difference between the current requirement under GAAP and this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.  This ASU requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease).  The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments.  The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs.  For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance.  Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases).  Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting.  For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases.  This is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted.  This ASU must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients.  Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.  We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU on our financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


The Company considers the applicability and impact of all recently issued accounting pronouncements. Recent accounting pronouncements not specifically identified in our disclosures are either not applicable to the Company or are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
