SYNBIOTICS CORPORATION

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)


 

Note 1 - Interim Financial Statements:

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2004 and the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) and of cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared by Synbiotics Corporation (the “Company”) and have not been audited. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiary Synbiotics Europe SAS (“SBIO-E”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for all periods presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2003. Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts 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.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern:

 

The accompanying consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Although the Company was profitable in 2003, during the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company incurred a net loss of $138,000, and had an accumulated deficit of $45,441,000 as of June 30, 2004.

 

As of June 30, 2004, the Company had an outstanding principal balance under its bank debt totaling $4,549,000 (Note 5), all of which was due and payable in January 2004. The bank had informally reduced the monthly principal payments to $30,000 for the payments due February 1, 2004, and March 1, 2004. On March 29, 2004, the Company entered into a forbearance agreement with the bank whereby the bank agreed not to exercise any of its rights under the credit agreement through May 5, 2004, and agreed to formally reduce the monthly principal payments to $30,000 for the payments due April 1, 2004, and May 1, 2004; the forbearance agreement has now expired. The Company believes it will be able to restructure or refinance the bank debt. However, no assurance can be given that the Company will be successful in this effort to restructure or refinance the bank debt. The Company’s resources do not enable it to repay the note in its entirety immediately.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated condensed financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
