See accompanying notes to the condensed financial statements. I-4 LECTEC CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) (1) GENERAL The accompanying condensed financial statements include the accounts of LecTec Corporation (the "Company") as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. The Company's condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should be read in conjunction with its Transition Report on Form 10-K for the transition period from July 1, 2001 to December 31, 2001. The interim condensed financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the year. (2) NET LOSS PER SHARE The Company's basic net loss per share amounts have been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares. The Company's diluted net loss per share amounts have been computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and common share equivalents, when dilutive. Options and warrants to purchase 1,258,557 and 1,037,570 shares of common stock with a weighted average exercise price of $4.62 and $5.26 were outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001, but were excluded from the calculation because they were antidilutive. (3) SEGMENTS The Company operates its business in one reportable segment - the manufacture and sale of products based on advanced skin interface technologies. Each of the Company's major product lines has similar economic characteristics, technology, manufacturing processes, and regulatory environments. Customers and distribution and marketing strategies vary within major product lines as well as overlap between major product lines. The Company's executive decision makers evaluate sales performance based on the total sales of each major product line and profitability on a total company basis, due to shared infrastructures, to make operating and strategic decisions. The Company's initial sales of skin care products occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The Company sold the conductive and medical tape product lines during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. Net sales by major product line were as follows:
Three months ended March 31, 2002 2001 ---------- ---------- Therapeutic consumer products $ 897,207 $1,837,543 Skin care products 292,072 - Conductive and medical tape products 325,216 1,911,017 ---------- ---------- $1,514,495 $3,748,560 ========== ==========
(4) NOTE PAYABLE TO BANK The Company finalized a two year extension of its $2,000,000 asset based line of credit in November 2001 with terms similar to the terms of the $2,000,000 line of credit as originally finalized in November 1999. There were no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit at March 31, 2002. The Company was in default at March 31, 2002 with covenants relating to the minimum book net worth and the maximum loss before income taxes. Until the Company cures or receives a waiver for the covenant defaults, the line of credit is not available for borrowings. I-5 (5) LONG-TERM OBLIGATION In December 2000, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with gross proceeds of $820,000. The principal balance of the mortgage is due in December 2002. Monthly payments of interest are computed at the prime rate plus five percentage points (effective rate of 9.75% at March 31, 2002). The mortgage is collateralized by the Company's real property. (6) DISPOSITION OF MEDICAL TAPE ASSETS In March 2001, the Company sold its medical tape manufacturing equipment and other related assets. The sale of the medical tape equipment finalized the Company's plan to exit the medical tape business that was adopted at the end of the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. (7) SALE OF CONDUCTIVE BUSINESS ASSETS AND RESTRUCTURING In April 2001, the Company sold its diagnostic electrode and electrically conductive adhesive hydrogel business assets that were used to produce the Company's conductive products. The conductive products included diagnostic electrodes and electrically conductive adhesive hydrogels. Under a manufacturing and supply agreement between the Company and the buyer, the Company continued to manufacture, and supply to the buyer, certain conductive products through January 2002. The Company supplied the products at its cost of production through October 31, 2001, and at its cost of production plus ten percent from November 1, 2001 through January 31, 2002. The Company is continuing to manufacture and supply the buyer electrically conductive adhesive hydrogels, at margins of approximately 30%, subsequent to expiration of the manufacturing and supply agreement. The Company anticipates supplying the product to the buyer on a limited basis through the second quarter of calendar 2002. A non-recurring restructuring charge of $303,759 was incurred in the quarter ended June 30, 2001 relating to the sale of the Company's conductive business assets. The restructuring charge consists primarily of future rental payments for a leased facility, separation costs, and other costs associated with the wind-down of conductive business activity. The restructuring accrual at March 31, 2002 was $38,767. The Company expects to complete the restructuring by June 30, 2002. Selected information regarding the restructuring accrual is as follows:
Separation Facility Other costs costs costs Total ----------- --------- --------- -------- Accrual at December 31, 2001 $ 21,930 $ 61,352 $ 21,950 $105,232 Payments (21,930) (30,675) (13,860) (66,465) -------- -------- -------- ------- Accrual at March 31, 2002 $ - $ 30,677 $ 8,090 $ 38,767 ========== ========= ======== ========
(8) CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR END On September 5, 2001, the Company elected to change its fiscal year end from June 30 to December 31. Previously, the fiscal year ran from July 1 through June 30. The Company filed a Transition Report on Form 10-K for the six months ended December 31, 2001. Hereafter, the fiscal year will correspond with the calendar year. (9) INCOME TAXES The provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2002, has been offset principally by a valuation allowance for deferred taxes. I-6 (10) RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS Effective January 1, 2002 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 141, "Business Combinations," SFAS 142, "Goodwill and Intangible Assets," SFAS 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," and SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interest method of accounting for business combinations and requires intangible assets acquired in business combinations to be recorded separately from goodwill. The adoption of SFAS 141 did not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. SFAS 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives and requires that these assets be tested for impairment annually or whenever an impairment indicator arises using the two step impairment test outlined in SFAS 142. The adoption of SFAS 142 did not affect the Company's financial position or results of operations. Amortized intangible assets consist of the following:
March 31,2002 December 31, 2001 ------------------------------- ----------------------------- Gross carrying Accumulated Gross carrying Accumulated amount amortization amount amortization -------------- ------------- -------------- ------------ Patents $1,516,878 $1,244,403 $1,494,003 $1,223,859 Trademarks 30,969 4,837 30,697 3,768 ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- $1,547,847 $1,249,240 $1,524,700 $1,227,627 ========== ========== ========== ==========
Amortization expense of amortized intangible assets totaled $21,613 and $17,808 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 and 2001. Amortization expense for the succeeding years is expected to be as follows:
Years ended December 31: 2002 $88,000 2003 88,000 2004 75,000 2005 55,000 2006 12,000
SFAS 143 applies to all entities that have legal obligations associated with the retirement of a tangible long-lived asset that result from acquisition, construction, or development and (or) normal operations of the long-lived asset. For purposes of SFAS 143, a liability for an asset retirement obligation should be recognized if the obligation meets the definition of a liability in FASB Concepts Statement 6, "Elements of Financial Statements," and if the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. Consequently, an entity should recognize a liability for an asset retirement obligation if (a) the entity has a duty or responsibility to settle an asset retirement obligation, (b) the entity has little or no discretion to avoid the future transfer or use of assets, and (c) the transaction or other event obligating the entity has occurred. The adoption of SFAS 143 did not affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. SFAS 144 retains the requirement from SFAS 121 to test a long-lived asset or asset group for impairment using a two-step impairment test whenever a triggering event occurs and provides an additional triggering event, a current expectation that, more likely than not, a long-lived asset or asset group will be sold or disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life would indicate the need to test that asset or asset group for impairment. The adoptions of SFAS 144 did not affect the Company's consolidated financial position or results of operations. I-7 PART I - FINANCIAL INFORMATION ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2002 AND 2001 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Net sales for the first quarter of calendar 2002 were $1,514,495 compared to net sales of $3,748,560 for the first quarter of calendar 2001, a decrease of 59.6%. The decrease was primarily the result of decreased conductive product sales due to the sale of the assets of the conductive products division in April 2001 and decreased sales of consumer contract therapeutic patch products. Therapeutic consumer product sales decreased by 51.2% from $1,837,543 to $897,207 while conductive and medical tape product sales decreased by 83.0% from $1,911,017 to $325,216. The therapeutic consumer product sales decrease was primarily the result of decreased demand from consumer contract therapeutic patch customers resulting from the slowing economy and a weaker than expected cough/cold season. The Company expects decreased conductive product sales to continue due to the sale of the assets used to produce the conductive products. As part of this asset sale, the Company entered into a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement with the buyer. Under the terms of this Agreement, the Company supplied the products at its cost of production through October 31, 2001, and at its cost of production plus ten percent from November 1, 2001 through January 31, 2002. The Company is continuing to manufacture and supply the buyer, on a limited basis, electrically conductive adhesive hydrogels, at margins of approximately 30%, subsequent to expiration of the manufacturing and supply agreement. The Company anticipates supplying the product to the buyer through June 30, 2002. In February 2002, the Company expanded into the skin care cosmeceutical market by launching a line of skin care products under the Company's brand name NeoSkin(R). These products include pre-formed face masks and under eye gel patches. Initial sales of skin care products totaled $292,072 for the first quarter of calendar 2002. Gross profit for the first quarter of calendar 2002 was $488,351, compared to $1,013,423 for the first quarter of calendar 2001, a decrease of 51.8%. Gross profit as a percent of net sales for the first quarter of calendar 2002 was 32.2% compared to 27.0% for the first quarter of calendar 2001. The decrease in gross profit for the three months resulted primarily from decreased sales. The increase in gross profit as a percent for the quarter resulted primarily from a shift in the sales mix toward higher margin LecTec branded therapeutic consumer and skin care products. Sales and marketing expenses were $491,116 and $686,649 during the first quarters of calendar 2002 and 2001, and as a percentage of net sales, were 32.4% and 18.3% respectively. The decrease in sales and marketing expenses for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease in product promotional expenses resulting from aggressive cost control/reduction programs implemented by management. General and administrative expenses were $595,478 and $708,984 during the first quarters of calendar 2002 and 2001, and as a percentage of net sales, were 39.3% and 18.9% respectively. The decrease in general and administrative expenses for the quarter was primarily due to a decrease of $77,000 in compensation related expenses and a decrease of $22,000 in travel and lodging expenses. Research and development expenses for the first quarters of calendar 2002 and 2001 were $170,025 and $219,236, and as a percentage of net sales, were 11.2% and 5.8% respectively. The decrease in research and development expenses for the current quarter was primarily due to a decrease of $46,000 in compensation related expenses. Interest expense decreased in the first quarter of calendar 2002 to $38,766 from $44,932 in the first quarter of calendar 2001. The decrease resulted primarily from the absence of borrowings under the line of credit that was offset by interest expense associated with the mortgage. Other income for the first quarter of calendar 2002 was $53 compared to other expense of $1,027 for the first quarter of calendar 2001. The current quarter increase was primarily the result of increased interest income due to higher cash and cash equivalent balances. During the first quarter of calendar 2001 the Company recorded a gain on sale of assets of $103,624 related to the sale of the medical tape manufacturing equipment. I-8 The Company recorded a loss before income taxes of $806,981 in the first quarter of calendar 2002 compared to a loss before income taxes of $543,781 for the first quarter of calendar 2001. The increase in loss before income taxes for the current quarter was primarily the result of decreased gross profit and sales volume related to the sale of the assets of the conductive products division and decreased demand from consumer contract therapeutic patch customers. The decreased gross profit more than offset a decrease in operating expenses resulting from aggressive cost control/reduction programs implemented by management. The provision for income taxes in the first quarters of calendar 2002 and 2001 has been offset principally by a valuation allowance for deferred taxes. Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company's operations or cash flow. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,036,135 to $389,070 during the first quarter of calendar 2002. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was primarily due to lower sales volume resulting in more cash used in operating activities. Accounts receivable increased by $385,751 to $933,589 during the first quarter of calendar 2002 primarily due to increased March sales in 2002. Inventories increased by $86,864 to $1,614,407 primarily due to increased skin care product inventory. Accounts payable of $741,053 at March 31, 2002 increased by $112,690 during the first quarter of calendar 2002 due to the Company's increase in the number of days between vendor invoice receipt and payment. Capital spending for manufacturing equipment and plant improvements totaled $10,177 during the first quarter of calendar 2002. There were no material commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 2002. The Company had working capital of $410,834 and a current ratio of 1.1 at March 31, 2002 compared to working capital of $1,106,202 and a current ratio of 1.4 at December 31, 2001. The decreases resulted primarily from lower cash and cash equivalent balances. The Company finalized a two year extension of its $2,000,000 asset based line of credit in November 2001 with terms similar to the terms of the $2,000,000 line of credit as originally finalized in November 1999. There were no borrowings outstanding on the line of credit as of March 31, 2002. The Company was in default at March 31, 2002 with covenants relating to the minimum book net worth and the maximum loss before income taxes. This was the result of financial results not meeting expectations due to the continued soft economy. Until the Company cures or receives a waiver for the covenant defaults, the line of credit is not available for borrowings. In December 2000, the Company entered into a mortgage agreement with gross proceeds of $820,000. The principal balance of the mortgage is due in December 2002. Monthly payments of interest are computed at the prime rate plus five percentage points (effective rate of 9.75% at March 31, 2002). The mortgage is collateralized by the Company's real property. Management expects the Company to continue to operate at a net loss and experience negative cash flow from operating activities for the foreseeable future. In May 2002 the Company renegotiated its Supply Agreement with a major customer. Pursuant to the revised agreement, the Company will receive advance payments from the customer for future product orders. The Company has also received an offer to factor its receivables and continues to seek ways to reduce costs. In addition, management is exploring other options for additional capital. Management believes that the Company will have sufficient cash and borrowing capacity to ensure the Company will continue operations in the near term. Maintaining adequate levels of working capital depends in part upon the success of the Company's products in the marketplace, the relative profitability of those products and the Company's ability to control operating expenses. Funding of the Company's operations in future periods may require additional investments in the Company in the form of equity or debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will achieve desired levels of sales or profitability, or that future capital infusion will be available.
