Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products Business
 
On October 19, 2011, Misonix sold its Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business, which comprised substantially all of the Laboratory and Scientific Products segment, to Mystaire, Inc. (“Mystaire”) for $1.5 million in cash plus a potential additional payment of up to an aggregate $500,000based upon 30% of net sales in excess of $2.0 million for each of the three years following the closing (the “earn-out”). The Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business manufactured and marketed ductless fume, laminar airflow and polymerase chain reaction workstations both domestically and internationally with revenues for fiscal 2011 of approximately $2.1 million.
 
In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement with Mystaire, Misonix retained among other items, the existing accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business. After considering the proceeds received of $1,500,000 in cash, professional fees of $25,000 in connection with the sale and the net book value of the assets sold of $24,000, which was comprised primarily of property and equipment, Misonix reported a gain on sale of $1,451,000 and recorded income taxes of $242,000 on the gain during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The earn-out will not be factored into the gain on sale until it is earned by Misonix. As of June 30, 2013 there has been no earn-out recorded.
 
In accordance with the terms of the Transition and Manufacturing Services Agreement with Mystaire, which was entered into as part of the sale, Misonix continued for a period of six weeks to manufacture and deliver products for orders received prior to the closing date as well as to provide product to Mystaire as transition inventory, which transition period was completed on November 30, 2011.
 
The results of operations of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented as Misonix does not have any significant cash flow or continuing involvement in this business. Following the sale of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business, the Company operates in one reportable segment, Medical Devices.
 
High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Technology
 
In consideration for the May 2010 sale of its rights to the high intensity focused ultrasound technology to USHIFU LLC (“USHIFU”), Misonix will receive up to approximately $5.8 million, paid out of an earn-out of 7% of gross revenues received by USHIFU related to the business being sold up to the time the Company has received the first $3 million and thereafter 5% of the gross revenues up to $5.8 million. Commencing 90 days after each December 31st and beginning December 31, 2011 the payments will be the greater of (a) $250,000 or (b) 7% of gross revenues received up to the time the Company has received the first $3 million and thereafter 5% of gross revenues up to the $5.8 million. Total payments through June 30, 2013 were $504,788. Payments received during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $250,000 and $254,788, respectively.
    
Labcaire Systems
 
On August 4, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire Systems, Ltd. (“Labcaire”) subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited (“PuriCore Limited”) for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million at closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million. The Company was also to receive a commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on December 31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through Automated Endoscope Reprocessing (“AER”) and Drying Cabinet products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate commission payable to the Company was also to be subject to a maximum payment of $1,000,000.
 
In January 2011, PuriCore Limited initiated a lawsuit against the Company in the High Court of Justice, Queens Bench Division, Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice, London, England (Claim No. 2011-42) (the “Lawsuit”). In the Lawsuit, PuriCore Limited claimed damages from the Company in respect of breach of warranties contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 4, 2009 (the “SPA”), pursuant to which the Company sold Labcaire to PuriCore Limited. PuriCore Limited claimed damages of £2,167,000 or approximately $3,600,000, plus interest and its legal costs. The Company denied the allegations contained in the Lawsuit.
 
On July 19, 2011, PuriCore Limited and the Company reached an agreement to settle the Lawsuit (the “Settlement”). The Settlement provides that the Company (i) forgive in full PuriCore Limited and PuriCore plc’s obligation under the SPA to pay up to $1,000,000 of the previously unrecorded, contingent commissions (as described above); (ii) pay PuriCore, Inc. (“PuriCore”), an affiliate of PuriCore Limited, $650,000 towards PuriCore Limited’s legal costs which had been accrued for as of June 30, 2011 and subsequently paid and (iii) enter into a Product License and Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2011, with PuriCore (the “Distribution Agreement”).
 
Reclassification
 
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. 
 
The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. At June 30, 2013, these financial institutions held cash that was approximately $5,569,117 in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and other government agencies.
 
Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
 
Included in sales from continuing operations are sales to Covidien plc (“Covidien”) of $110,437 and $1,484,000, Aesculap, Inc. (“Aesculap”) of $1,425,708 and $1,533,000 and Mentor (a Johnson and Johnson Company) of $381,744 and $1,492,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total royalties from Covidien related to their sales of the Company’s ultrasonic cutting products, which uses high frequency sound waves to coagulate and divide tissue for both open and laparoscopic surgery, were $2,369,000 and $488,000 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable for Covidien were approximately $718,000 and $696,000, which included $711,000 and $586,000 of royalty income receivable at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivable from Aesculap were approximately $324,000 and $532,000 and from Mentor were approximately $233,000 and $385,000 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s accounts receivable with customers outside the United States were approximately $1,086,000 and $700,000, respectively. The Company sells its BoneScalpel, SonaStar and Sonic One Wound Cleansing and Debridement System through direct sales persons and agents in the United States and through distributors outside the United States.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
Accounts receivable, principally trade, are generally due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors aging reports, collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of raw material, work-in process and finished goods and include purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. Management evaluates the need to record adjustments to write down inventory to the lower of cost or market on a quarterly basis. The Company’s policy is to assess the valuation of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods and it writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence based upon the age of inventory and assumptions about future demand and usage. During the year ended June 30, 2013, the Company also established inventory reserves aggregating approximately $835,000, partially resulting from terminating agreements for products not meeting specifications for which the Company is attempting to negotiate a settlement with the product manufacturers. No assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in recovering any of the amounts reserved. Inventory items used for demonstration purposes, rentals or on consignment are classified as property, plant and equipment.
 
Property, Plant and Equipment
  
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Minor replacements and maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset, whichever is shorter. The Company's policy is to periodically evaluate the appropriateness of the lives assigned to property, plant and equipment and make adjustments if necessary. Inventory items included in property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years.
  
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company records revenue upon shipment for products shipped F.O.B. shipping point. Products shipped F.O.B. destination points are recorded as revenue when received at the point of destination. Shipments under agreements with distributors are not subject to return, and payment for these shipments is not contingent on sales by the distributor. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue on shipments to distributors in the same manner as with other customers. Fees from exclusive license agreements are recognized ratably over the terms of the respective agreements. Service contracts and royalty income are recognized when earned.
 
The Company presents taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities in the consolidated statements of operations on a net basis.
 
Long-Lived Assets
 
The carrying values of intangible and other long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are periodically reviewed to determine if any impairment indicators are present. If it is determined that such indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable, based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization and depreciation period, their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, an historic or anticipated decline in revenue or operating profit, adverse legal or regulatory developments, accumulation of costs significantly in excess of amounts originally expected to acquire the asset and a material decrease in the fair value of some or all of the assets. Assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. No such impairment existed at June 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
Goodwill 
 
Goodwill is not amortized. We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or products. Application of these impairment tests requires significant judgments, including estimation of cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long term rate of growth for the Company’s business, the useful lives over which cash flows will occur and determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. We primarily utilize a discontinued cashflow model in determining the fair value which consists of Level 3 inputs. Changes in the projected cash flows and discount rate estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation of goodwill could materially affect the determination of fair value at acquisition or during subsequent periods when tested for impairment. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment tests for fiscal 2013 and 2012 as of June 30th each year. No impairment of goodwill was deemed to exist in fiscal 2013 or 2012.
 
Intangible and Other Assets
 
The cost of acquiring or processing patents is capitalized at cost. This amount is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets, which is approximately 17 years. Net patents reported in intangible and other assets totaled $568,823 and $561,507 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $554,923 and $479,517 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $75,000 and $59,000, respectively.
    
Net customer relationships, which are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period, reported in intangible and other assets totaled $360,000 and $520,000 at June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization amounted to $440,000 and $280,000 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Amortization expenses for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $160,000 in each year.

Income Taxes
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.  The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income in those periods in which temporary differences become deductible.  Should management determine that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset would be established in the period such determination was made.
 
The Company recognizes a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only 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 position is measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company classifies income tax related interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense.
 
Income (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic income (loss) per common share ("Basic EPS") is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share ("Diluted EPS") is computed by dividing income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive common share equivalents and convertible securities then outstanding.
 
Excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS are options to purchase 1,408,030 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The excluded shares are any shares in which the average stock price for the quarter or year-to-date is less than the exercise price of the outstanding options in the period in which the Company has net income.
 
Diluted EPS for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2013 and the twelve months ended June 30, 2012 presented is the same as Basic EPS, as the inclusion of the effect of common share equivalents then outstanding would be anti-dilutive. For this reason, excluded from the calculations of Diluted EPS for the three and twelve months ended June 30, 2013 and twelve months ended June 30, 2012 are outstanding options to purchase 1,729,991 and 1,820,930 shares, respectively.
 
Comprehensive (Loss)/Income
 
Total comprehensive (loss)/income was ($2,670,965) for the year ended June 30, 2013 and $366,325 for the year ended June 30, 2012.
 
Research and Development
 
All research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in operating expenses.
 
Advertising Expense
 
The cost of advertising is expensed in the period the advertising first takes place. The Company incurred approximately $141,000 and $105,000 in advertising costs during the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
   
Shipping and Handling
 
Shipping and handling fees for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $47,000 and $53,000, respectively, and are reported as a component of net sales. Shipping and handling costs for the years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were approximately $101,000 and $92,000, respectively, and are reported as a component of selling expenses.
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company measures compensation cost for all share based payments at fair value and recognizes the cost over the vesting period.  The Company utilizes the straight line amortization method to recognize the expense associated with the awards with graded vesting terms.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-04,  Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S., Generally Accepted Accounting Principles  (“GAAP”)  and International Financial Reporting Standards  (“IFRS”). This guidance amends U.S. GAAP to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in IFRS. The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, and they include those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions, some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S.  GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way. This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2011, the FASB amended Accounting Standard Codification 220,  Comprehensive Income.  The amendment eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  In accordance with the amendment, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements.  Additionally, reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income will be presented on the face of the financial statements.  The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which for us is July 1, 2012, with full retrospective application required.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08,  Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Under the revised guidance, a company testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e., step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If a company determines, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
