FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the information contained in this Report may constitute forward-looking statements or statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this Annual Report, in future filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, in the Company’s press releases or other public or shareholder communications, or in oral statements made with the approval of an authorized executive officer, the words or phrases “will likely result,” “are expected to,” “will continue,” “is anticipated,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements.” The Company wishes to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak as of the date made, and to advise readers that various factors, including regional and national economic conditions, substantial changes in levels of market interest rates, credit and other risks of manufacturing, distributing or marketing activities, competitive and regulatory factors, and those factors set out under “Risk Factors,” below, could affect the Company’s financial performance and could cause the Company’s actual results for future periods to differ materially from those anticipated by any forward-looking statements.
The Company does not undertake and specifically disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events or circumstances after the date of such statements.
PART I
Item 1. Business
Background of the Company
Throughout this Report we use the terms “we,” “our Company,” and “us” to refer to Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc., and its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, Liberator Medical Supply, Inc. (which is sometimes called “Liberator Medical”), Liberator Health and Education Services, Inc., formerly known as Liberator Services Corporation, and Liberator Health and Wellness, Inc.
The Company was organized in December 1906 in Utah under the name Cardiff Mining & Milling Company. During the 1960’s, the Company changed its name to Cardiff Industries, Inc., and sold its mining operations. During the next decade the Company focused its operations on the television and radio industry. In 1980 the Company’s name was changed to Cardiff Communications, Inc. The Company changed its domicile to Nevada on July 12, 2000. Upon the completion of the Company’s business combination with Liberator Medical described in the next paragraph, the Company changed its name to Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. The Company had no business operations in the ten years preceding its acquisition of Liberator Medical in June 2007.
On June 22, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Liberator Medical, a durable medical equipment company located in Stuart, Florida. The acquisition was consummated pursuant to a merger agreement entered into on June 18, 2007, whereby we agreed to merge our newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardiff Merger, Inc., a Florida corporation, with and into Liberator Medical, with Liberator Medical being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary. As a condition of the merger, we issued approximately 25,447,956 shares of our common stock to the stockholders of Liberator Medical. We also agreed to issue to the then current holders of Liberator Medical options and warrants exercisable to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock on terms and conditions equivalent to the existing terms and conditions of the respective Liberator Medical options and warrants. Also, we appointed Liberator Medical’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark A. Libratore, to our board of directors and appointed him our President and Chief Executive Officer. For additional information concerning the combination of our Company with Liberator Medical, see the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 29, 2007, with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Background of Liberator Medical Supply, Inc.
Liberator Medical was incorporated in the State of Florida in July 1999. It is a provider of direct-to-consumer durable medical supplies, primarily to seniors. The majority of Liberator Medical’s revenue is derived from four product lines, diabetes, urological, ostomy, and mastectomy. Liberator Medical provides a simple and reliable way for its patients to obtain supplies. Its employees communicate directly with its patients and their physicians regarding patients’ prescriptions and supply requirements on a regular basis and bills Medicare and third-party insurers on behalf of its patients. Liberator Medical markets its products directly to consumers, primarily through targeted media, direct-response television advertising and direct-response print advertising to patients throughout the United States. Its patient service representatives are specifically trained to communicate with patients, in particular seniors, helping them to follow their doctors’ orders and manage their chronic diseases. Liberator Medical’s operating platforms enable it to efficiently collect and process required documents from physicians and patients and bill and collect amounts due from Medicare, other third party payers and directly from patients.
Market
National healthcare spending will nearly double to $2.8 trillion by 2011, up from $1.42 trillion in 2001, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). As the baby boomer population ages, the already flourishing medical supply industry will experience a 20-year explosion in growth. Between 1990 and 1999, while the U.S. population grew 9 percent and inflation 26 percent, total annual healthcare spending increased 74 percent. Currently, more than 90 million Americans live with chronic diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive lung disease, and diabetes.
We are a quasi-medical distributor providing home health care services. According to HME News, the home health care market is a highly fragmented industry of over 100,000 companies, with about 50 companies having annual sales in excess of $10 million.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Medicare and Medicaid have combined annual payments of $775 billion.
The Company targets Medicare-eligible seniors with chronic illness. First Research estimates the number of Americans over 65 will double from 34 million to 62 million between 2000 and 2025. The research firm Rand estimates the number of Americans with two or more chronic conditions will increase from 60 to 81 million between the years 2000 and 2020. Current out-of-pocket spending for Americans age 65 and over with two chronic conditions is approximately $750 per year. The number of Medicare beneficiaries is expected to nearly double to 77 million by 2030 from 40 million in 2000, according to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. According to the 2009 BCC Research report, the urological market size is approximately $4.4 billion and expected to increase to $13.2 billion in 2014. Below is an analysis of the Company’s addressable market for targeted disease segments as well as a description of each opportunity.

Mail Order Medical Supplies
The Company’s primary business is mail order medical supplies currently consisting of four primary product lines; urological, diabetes, mastectomy, and ostomy. We attract new patients to our mail order business through three sources. We communicate directly with potential patients through targeted television, Internet, and print advertising. We have been able to commit substantial amounts of cash to advertising since the closing of convertible debt offerings in May 2008 and October 2008. We plan to continue our growth in our mail order business through an ongoing program of direct-response television advertising. Our advertising campaign has resulted in a significant increase in patient enrollment and has been the primary driver behind the growth in sales. Sales from our mail order segment represented 99%, 94% and 80% of total net revenues for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.
Retail Sales
Sales for the retail store for fiscal year 2009 have decreased to less than 1% of our total sales with no earnings contribution. The cost of operating a retail outlet along with the high cost of maintaining a large inventory did not justify keeping the store open. Effective September 30, 2009, we closed the retail store.
Sales and Marketing
The Company focuses on making the buying process easy and convenient. Customers can purchase by phone, mail, or over the Internet. This produces an annuity-like income with a high return on advertising dollars.
Our growth will depend upon the success of our advertising campaigns. Management believes that it has perfected a method of capturing initial and recurring sales through use of local, regional and national ad placement. Advertisements and placement drive customer leads. Sales reps handle inbound calls to establish initial contact, qualify the consumer, identify the need and close the sale.
Aggressive contact management efforts, outbound mailings and outbound phone calls by sales reps on active leads and established customers results in re-orders, cross selling opportunities and higher conversion rates than traditional mail order businesses.
With an average customer life of four years, we believe our strategy should provide predictable, recurring income. Management is constantly evaluating and testing new products for direct marketing to various targeted customers. As these new and innovative products come to market, we anticipate being positioned to bring them to the public quickly with the right marketing, intake, processing, and third-party billing mechanisms.
Suppliers
The Company distributes products from over 200 manufacturers, including all of the largest U.S. suppliers. In addition, the Company has been able to negotiate significant discounts, indicating manufacturer confidence in our ability to obtain higher volumes.
Competitive Analysis
Diabetes
In diabetes products, Liberty Medical, a subsidiary of Medco (MHS NYSE), a company started by Mark Libratore, is the industry leader. Liberty is well known for its TV ads featuring actor Wilford Brimely. In addition to its organic growth, Liberty has been purchasing many small and medium size competitors in primarily asset-only purchases. CCS Medical Holdings, Inc. may be the second largest competitor.
Mastectomy
Competition in this area is limited mostly to small specialty shops. Most small boutiques require the customer to walk in and discuss this sensitive matter with a stranger. For many, this may be inconvenient or an unacceptable option. Instead, our telemarketing approach provides the level of privacy many customers need and want. In addition, many small boutiques have chosen to exit the Medicare market due to increased regulation and bonding requirements, which provides us with additional opportunities to gain customers.

Table of Contents

Ostomy
Currently there are three major national companies in ostomy; Edgepark, Liberty and United Ostomy. Although there are many small companies as well, we have shown significant growth, primarily due to the Company accepting Medicare in instances where other companies have refused assignment. We also provide personal service, which we believe promotes customer loyalty.
Urological
Over the last two years, the Company has entered into the urological field and has demonstrated significant growth in sales of urological catheters, condom catheters, indwelling catheters, urine collection devices and various related accessories. As the population continues to age, this category is expected to grow considerably. Competition consists primarily of specialty drug stores, 180 Medical, Inc., Byrams Healthcare, Edgepark, United Ostomy, and many small independent dealers and stores.
Litigation
We are not presently subject to any material pending legal proceedings and, to the best of our knowledge, no such action against the Company is contemplated or threatened.
Technology Systems
Because customer service and billing Medicare are a major focus of its business, the Company has completed and installed one of the industry’s most popular, fully HIPPA compliant, and user-friendly billing systems. In addition to electronic-billing to all four Medicare Regional Part B regional centers, it also generates billing to over 5,000 insurance companies, nationwide. Medicare reimbursement and code requirements are kept current and posting of accounts receivable is done automatically from information downloaded from Medicare. Liberator Medical has written customized software integrated with the Enterprise version of Goldmine to handle contact management, generate customized forms and mailings, and facilitate rapid intake of new customers following a carefully conceived intake protocol which captures and preserves essential customer data.
For communications, we utilize a pair of Mitel 3300’s in a cluster, which are capable of handling hundreds of phones and are easily operated in a Web-based user interface. This system has the capacity to interface with our contact management systems, provide pop-up screens, and provide various other vital information that management uses.
Our systems operate on multiple HP Proliant servers with redundant power supplies and up to 4 TB of storage capacity. We use various Microsoft operating systems (Windows 2003, Windows 2008 and Win XP Professional) and various third-party licensed Microsoft Windows-friendly applications including Fastrack for customer ordering and electronic order submissions, Goldmine for pre-customer sales lead and customer CRM, Medforce Scan for digital document imaging, SQL Server 2005 and 2008 for database management and Process Shipper (unified shipping program) for shipment processing and tracking.
We subcontract the hosting and maintenance of the www.liberatormedical.com web site. Credit card information is processed using industry-standard secure 128-bit SSL (secure-sockets-layer) web sessions and credit card information is never stored in the associated Liberator SQL backend database to reduce liability risks.
Intellectual Property
As of the date of this Report, we have one registered trademark/servicemark, “Liberator,” and our stylized logo.
Employees
As of September 30, 2009, we had 139 employees. None of our employees are members of any union or covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that the relations between our management and employees are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Current and potential shareholders should consider carefully the risk factors described below. Any of these factors, or others, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, could negatively affect the Company’s revenues, profitability or cash flows in the future. These factors include:
Risks Relating to Our Business
  Our future operating results remain difficult to predict. We continue to face many risks and uncertainties which could affect our operating results, including, without limitation, those described below.
  Although we had net income of $2,222,000 in fiscal year 2009, we have incurred significant net losses in every other year since our inception, including net losses of $1,309,000 for fiscal year 2008, $1,968,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, $2,295,000 for fiscal year 2006, and $1,097,000 for fiscal year 2005. As of September 30, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $8,272,000.
  The Company has aggressive marketing plans that require the Company to spend substantial sums. The Company may need additional capital to continue our business plan. In addition, the Company may not accurately predict the amount of capital it requires to operate its existing and future business, which requirement may exceed the Company’s estimates. The failure by the Company to secure any additional financing which it may require may adversely affect its ability to grow.
  We could experience significantly reduced profits if Medicare changes, delays or denies reimbursement or directs Medicare consumers to other companies through the process of competitive bidding, governmental contracts or any kind of nationwide managed care or governmental program.
  Sales of a significant portion of our products depend on the continued availability of reimbursement of our customers by government and private insurance plans. Any reduction in Medicare reimbursement currently available for our products would reduce our revenues. Without a corresponding reduction in the cost of such products, the result would be a reduction in our overall profit margin. Similarly, any increase in the cost of such products would reduce our overall profit margin unless there was a corresponding increase in Medicare reimbursement. Our profits could also be affected by the imposition of more stringent regulatory requirements for Medicare reimbursement. The regulations that govern Medicare reimbursement are complex and our compliance with these regulations may be reviewed by federal agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Justice, and the Food and Drug Administration. These agencies conduct audits and periodic investigations of most companies billing Medicare. Negative findings or results of audits are subject to appeals and judicial review and are often overturned at various levels. There is always the possibility that the Company could be the subject of any audit or investigation as it performs a substantial amount of Medicare billing each year. The Company is regularly audited by all four regional Medicare carriers and has on some occasions had to reimburse claims previously paid. This type of reimbursement is common to all Medicare participants. Medicare audits or investigations could possibly lead to recoupment of monies paid to the Company, fines, off-sets on future payments and even loss of Medicare billing privileges. Since its inception, the Company has had no fines or penalties but the Company has been audited by all four regional Medicare carriers and from time-to-time been asked to repay amounts on claims previously paid for various reasons such as billing errors, lack of medical records in physician offices, insufficient patient diagnoses, returns, patient’s having similar equipment, patient not seen by physician recently enough, and lack of adequate medical necessity. Although the Company has set aside reserves for these repayments, demands for repayment could exceed Company reserves and the Company could be unable to pay them, which would adversely affect the Company.
  We believe that we are able to control our level of expansion as well as the costs associated with the rapid growth which the Company presently plans. However, we cannot be sure that our existing staffing levels will be sufficient if we expand as rapidly as we currently believe. Further, (i) any expansion will create significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial personnel and other resources; (ii) additional expansion in existing or new markets could strain these resources and increase our need for capital; and (iii) our personnel, systems, procedures, controls and existing space may not be adequate to support substantial expansion.

Table of Contents

  Our ability to operate at a profit is highly dependent on recurring orders from customers, as to which there is no assurance. We generally incur losses and negative cash flow with respect to the first order from a new customer for chronic care products and respiratory products, due primarily to the marketing and regulatory compliance costs associated with initial customer qualification. Accordingly, the profitability of these product lines depends, in large part, on recurring and sustained reorders. Reorder rates are inherently uncertain due to several factors, many of which are outside our control, including changing customer preferences, competitive price pressures, customer transition to extended care facilities, customer mortality and general economic conditions.
  We could be liable for harm caused by products that we sell. The sale of medical products entails the risk that users will make product liability claims. A product liability claim could be expensive. While management believes that our insurance provides adequate coverage, no assurance can be made that adequate coverage will exist for these claims.
  We could lose customers and revenues to new or existing competitors who have greater financial or operating resources.
  Competition from other sellers of products sold by us is intense and expected to increase. Many of our competitors and potential competitors are large companies with well-known names and substantial resources. These companies may develop products and services that are more effective or less expensive than any that we are developing or selling. They may also promote and market these products more successfully than we promote and market our products.
  Many of the products that we sell are regulated by the FDA and other regulatory agencies. If any of these agencies mandate a suspension of production or sales of our products or mandate a recall, we may lose sales and incur expenses until we are in compliance with the regulations or change to another acceptable supplier.
  Our future results may vary significantly depending on a number of factors, including:
    – changes in reimbursement guidelines and amounts;
 
    – changes in regulations affecting the healthcare industry;
 
    – changes in the mix or cost of our products;
 
    – the timing of customer orders;
 
    – the timing and cost of our advertising campaigns; and
 
    – the timing of the introduction or acceptance of new products and services offered by us or our competitors.
  We regularly review potential acquisitions of businesses and products. Acquisitions, if we embark on any type of acquisition, involve a number of risks that might adversely affect our financial and operational resources, including:
    – diversion of the attention of senior management from important business matters;
 
    – amortization of substantial intangible assets;
 
    – difficulty in retaining key personnel of an acquired business;
 
    – failure to assimilate operations of an acquired business;
 
    – failure to retain the customers of an acquired business;
 
    – possible operating losses and expenses of an acquired business;
 
    – exposure to legal claims for activities of an acquired business prior to acquisition; and
 
    – incurrence of debt and related interest expense.
  The success of the Company will largely be dependent on Mark Libratore, the Company’s founder and our President and Chief Executive Officer, who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the business. Loss of Mr. Libratore’s services, either through retirement, incapacity or death, may have a material adverse effect on the Company. The Company has $4,000,000 of key man insurance on Mr. Libratore’s life, with the Company as the beneficiary of $3,000,000 and his wife, Cynthia Libratore, the beneficiary of $1,000,000.

Table of Contents

  Our indebtedness aggregated approximately $11.0 million as of September 30, 2009. As a result, we are subject to the risks associated with significant indebtedness, including:
  –  we must dedicate a portion of our cash flows from operations to pay debt service costs and, as a result, we have less funds available for operations and other purposes;
 
  –  it may be more difficult and expensive to obtain additional funds through financings, if available at all;
 
  –  we are more vulnerable to economic downturns and fluctuations in interest rates, less able to withstand competitive pressures and less flexible in reacting to changes in our industry and general economic conditions; and
 
  –  if we default under any of our outstanding notes and/or if our creditors demand payment of a portion or all of our indebtedness, we may not have sufficient funds to make such payments.
  As of November 30, 2009, Mark Libratore, our President and Chief Executive Officer, held approximately 47.5% of our outstanding common stock, excluding options to purchase up to 4,111,009 shares of our common stock. As a result, Mr. Libratore has the ability to exercise substantial control over all corporate actions requiring shareholder approval, including the following actions:
  –  the election of directors;
 
  –  the adoption of stock option plans;
 
  –  the amendment of charter documents; or
 
  –  the approval of certain mergers and other significant corporate transactions, including a sale of substantially all of our assets.
Risks Relating to Ownership of Our Common Stock
  Even though we expect our common stock to continue to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, we cannot predict the changes in the trading market for our common stock, including changes in liquidity. Because only a small percentage of our outstanding shares are freely traded in the public market, the price of our shares could be volatile and liquidation of an investor’s holdings may be difficult. Thus, holders of our common stock may be required to retain their shares for a long period of time.
  We anticipate that we will retain any future earnings and other cash resources for future operation and development of our business and do not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future payment of cash dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors after taking into account many factors, including our operating results, financial condition and capital requirements. Corporations that pay dividends may be viewed as a better investment than corporations that do not.
  Future sales or the potential for sale of a substantial number of shares of our common stock could cause our market value to decline and could impair our ability to raise capital through subsequent equity offerings. Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public markets, or the perception that these sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline and could materially impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

Table of Contents

  Our bylaws contain provisions which could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us without the consent of our board of directors. Our bylaws impose restrictions on the persons who may call special shareholder meetings. Furthermore, the Nevada Revised Statutes contain an affiliated transaction provision that prohibits a publicly-held Nevada corporation from engaging in a broad range of business combinations or other extraordinary corporate transactions with an “interested stockholder” unless, among others, (i) the transaction is approved by a majority of disinterested directors before the person becomes an interested shareholder or (ii) the transaction is approved by the holders of a majority of the corporation’s voting shares other than those owned by the interested shareholder. An interested shareholder is defined as a person who together with affiliates and associates beneficially owns more than 10% of the corporation’s outstanding voting shares. This provision may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of our company even if this change of control would benefit our shareholders.
  Public trading of our common stock on the OTCBB is subject to certain provisions, commonly referred to as the penny stock rules, promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. A penny stock is generally defined to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading in our stock will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers. These require a broker dealer to:
  –  make a special suitability determination for purchasers of penny stocks;
 
  –  receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase; and
 
  –  deliver to a prospective purchaser of a penny stock, prior to the first transaction, a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market.
    Consequently, penny stock rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade and/or maintain a market in our common stock. Also, many prospective investors may not want to get involved with the additional administrative requirements, which may have a material adverse effect on the trading of our shares.

Item 2. Properties
As of September 30, 2009, Liberator Medical rents 38,000 square feet of space at its headquarters in Stuart, Florida, at a monthly base rental of $31,300. Our lease expires on July 31, 2012. Of that space, approximately 21,000 square feet house our call center and administrative offices and approximately 17,000 square feet is used for our warehouse and shipping functions.
Liberator Medical also rents an additional 7,000 square feet of space in Stuart, of which 4,000 square feet is used for its retail sales facility and the balance for storage. The lease for this facility expired in January 2009. We have been renting on a month-to-month basis since February 2009. We plan to vacate these premises in December 2009.
Liberator Medical has made arrangements for several of the nation’s largest medical distributors to drop ship thousands of different kinds of products anywhere in the US for modest handling charges, which reduces the space necessary for storage.
In October 2009, we signed a lease for an additional 24,000 square feet in Stuart, FL due to our growth. This new facility will house our call center and certain administrative functions. We expect to be occupying the new facility by the end of January 2010.
We believe that our existing facilities, including the new October 2009 lease, are suitable as office, shipping and warehouse space, and are adequate to meet our current needs. We also believe that our insurance coverage adequately covers our current interest in our leased space. We do not own any real property for use in our operations or otherwise.

PART II
Item 5. Market for Registrant’s Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities.
The Company’s common stock is quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, or OTCBB, under the symbol “LBMH.OB.” Our common stock was traded on the OTC Pink Sheets under the symbol LBMH.PK (previously CDFO) from February 14, 2008, until March 6, 2009. On February 14, 2008, we were not eligible for trading on the OTCBB because we had not timely filed three periodic reports over a two-year period and our common stock began to trade on the Pink Sheets. Our common stock traded on the OTCBB, under the symbol “LBMH.OB” from September 4, 2007 until February 13, 2008. The Company has been unable to obtain any historical information with respect to trading in its common stock or market makers prior to July 12, 2007. The numbers below reflect our high and low bid information for the period which began July 12, 2007, and ended September 30, 2009.

The Company understands that several member firms of the NASD are currently acting as market makers for the Company’s common stock. However, the trading volume for the Company’s common stock is still relatively limited. There is no assurance that an active trading market will continue to provide adequate liquidity for the Company’s existing shareholders or for persons who may acquire the Company’s common stock through the exercise of stock options.
As of November 30, 2009, the Company had approximately 1,354 shareholders of record of the Company’s common stock. However, a significant number of shares of the Company’s common stock are held in “street name” by brokers on behalf of shareholders and are therefore held by many beneficial owners.
As of September 30, 2009, there were 32,462,311 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and 32,376,311 shares outstanding. Of those shares, 22,468,110 shares were “restricted” securities of the Company within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
On November 15, 2007, the SEC adopted changes to Rule 144 which took effect on February 15, 2008. Rule 144, as amended, provides that a person who is not affiliated with us holding restricted securities for six months may sell such shares without restriction. A person who is affiliated with us and who has held restricted securities for six months will be able to sell such shares in brokerage transactions, subject to limitations, including limitations on sales based on the number of our shares outstanding, our trading volume, and certain other conditions. Such sales could have a depressive effect on the price of our common stock in the open market.

The Company has not declared any cash dividends on its Common Stock in the last thirty years and its Board of Directors has no present intention of declaring any dividends. For the foreseeable future, the Company intends to retain all earnings, if any, for use in the development and expansion of its business.
The Company’s shares are subject to Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 15g-9, commonly referred to as the “penny stock” rule.
The rule defines penny stock to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The rule provides that any equity security is considered to be a penny stock unless that security is; registered and traded on a national securities exchange meeting specified criteria set by the SEC; authorized for quotation from the OTCBB; issued by a registered investment company; excluded from the definition on the basis of price at least $5.00 per share or the issuer’s net tangible assets. The Company’s shares are deemed to be penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. Accredited investors, in general, include individuals with assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse, and certain institutional investors.
For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such security and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for the transaction involving a penny stock, other rules apply. Consequently, these rules may restrict the ability of broker-dealers to trade or maintain a market in our common stock and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell their shares.
Stock Repurchase Program
Under a stock repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors in December 2008, we are authorized to repurchase up to $500,000 of our Common Stock through December 2009. The authorization enables the Company to purchase shares through open market transactions at management’s discretion. We intend to retain any common shares which we repurchase as treasury shares or use them in connection with our employee stock option program.
Our shares repurchased for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were as follows:

Company Overview
Liberator Medical Supply, Inc., licensed in the State of Florida and a federally approved Medicare Participating Provider, is a direct-to-consumer, provider of Medicare Part B Benefits focused on supplying medical supplies in a retail environment, and via the Internet in the United States. We distribute a full range of medical products which address the healthcare needs of our customers.
We market our products directly to consumers primarily through targeted media and direct-response television advertising. Our customer service representatives are specifically trained to communicate with Medicare-eligible beneficiaries. Our operating platforms enable us to collect and process required documents from physicians and customers, bill and collect amounts due from Medicare and/or other government agencies and/or third party payors and/or customers.
We completed the acquisition of our operating company, Liberator Medical, on June 22, 2007. The acquisition was accounted for as a reverse merger in which, for accounting purposes, Liberator Medical was treated as the acquiring company. The acquisition was deemed a recapitalization of our Company, which was, prior to the acquisition of Liberator Medical, an inactive public shell. Accordingly, the financial statements presented, and the discussion which follows, represent the historical financial statements and operating history of Liberator Medical.

The increase was attributed to our increased sales volume for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. As a percentage of sales, gross profit improved by 0.9% to 64.9% of sales for fiscal year 2009 compared to 64.0% of sales for fiscal year 2008.

The increases for both years are attributed to an increase in the number of employees and wage increases during fiscal years 2009 and 2008 to support our increased sales volume. As of September 30, 2009, we had 139 active employees compared to 76 at September 30, 2008 and 52 at September 30, 2007.

Advertising expenses increased by $1,572,000, or 334.5%, to $2,042,000 for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. Advertising expenses increased by $336,000 to $470,000 for fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007, an annualized increase of 163.1%. The majority of our advertising expenses are associated with the amortization of, previously capitalized, direct-response advertising costs. The rest of our advertising expenses are for costs that do not qualify as direct-response advertising and are expensed as incurred. The following table shows a breakdown of our advertising expenses for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 (dollars in thousands):
                         
    2009     2008     2007  
Advertising Expenses:
                       
Amortization of direct-response costs

    176       20       21  
 
                 
Total Advertising Expenses
  $ 2,042     $ 470     $ 134  
Our direct-response advertising efforts have been the driving force behind our increased sales over the last two years. Utilizing the proceeds from $3.5 million of debt financing in May 2008, we were able to increase our direct-response advertising investment from $224,000 for fiscal year 2007 to $1,567,000 during fiscal year 2008. Utilizing the proceeds from $2.5 million debt financing in October 2008 and cash generated from operations during fiscal year 2009, we increased our direct-response advertising investment to $4,191,000 for fiscal year 2009. As of September 30, 2009, we have $3,755,000 of deferred advertising costs that will be expensed over the next four fiscal years to coincide with the expected future revenues generated as a result of our direct-response advertising efforts.
Bad debt expenses increased by $1,446,000, or 138.8%, to $2,488,000 for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. Bad debt expenses increased by $694,000 to $1,042,000 for fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007, an annualized increase of 124.6%. The increases in bad debt expenses are due primarily to our increased sales levels. As a percentage of sales, bad debt expenses have decreased from 15.5% for fiscal year 2007 to 10.9% for fiscal year 2008 to 9.6% for fiscal year 2009 as a result of additional staff and training in our collection process, which involves the submission of claims to multiple layers of payers, such as Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance companies, and our patients.
Depreciation expense increased by $93,000, or 43.7%, to $306,000 for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. Depreciation expense increased by $75,000 to $213,000 for fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007, an annualized rate of 15.8%. The increases in depreciation expense are due to purchases of property, plant, and equipment of $532,000 and $301,000 during fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively, in order to support the growth of our business.
General and administrative expenses increased by $735,000, or 29.4%, to $3,237,000 for fiscal year 2009 compared to fiscal year 2008. General and administration expenses increased by $1,332,000 to $2,502,000 for fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007, an annualized rate of 60.4%. The increases are due to the additional costs, such as professional fees, rent, telephone expenses, insurance, and other administrative type expenses, required to support our sales growth over the last two years. As a percentage of sales, general and administrative expenses have decreased from 52.0% for fiscal year 2007 to 26.2% for fiscal year 2008 to 12.5% for fiscal year 2009.
Income (Loss) from Operations
Income from operations for fiscal year 2009 increased by $4,090,000 to $3,289,000, compared with a loss from operations of $801,000 for fiscal year 2008. As a percentage of sales, operating income improved by 21.1% to 12.7% of sales for fiscal year 2009 compared to a negative 8.4% of sales for fiscal year 2008. The increase in operating income and margins for fiscal year 2009 is attributed to our increased sales volumes at much lower levels of incremental operating expenses, as a percentage of sales.
Loss from operations for fiscal year 2008 decreased by $1,055,000 to $801,000, compared with a loss from operations of $1,856,000 for fiscal year 2007. As a percentage of sales, the operating loss improved by 74.1% to a negative 8.4% of sales for fiscal year 2008 compared to a negative 82.5% of sales for fiscal year 2007. The reduction in operating loss and improvement in operating margins for fiscal year 2008 is attributed to our increased sales volumes at much lower levels of incremental operating expenses, as a percentage of sales.

Interest expense increased by $303,000 to $520,000 for fiscal year 2008 compared to fiscal year 2007 as a result of interest expense for convertible debt issued during fiscal year 2008.

Historically, the Company’s principal use of cash has been to fund ongoing operations, which were financed through both placements of equity and debt securities. During fiscal year 2009, we were able to generate $1,712,000 of positive cash flows as a result of our operations. However, we still may be required to raise cash through both sales and placements of equity and/or debt securities in order to finance future growth of our operations.
The Company had cash of $3,798,000 at September 30, 2009, compared to cash of $1,173,000 at September 30, 2008, an increase of $2,625,000. This increase in cash in 2009 is primarily due to net proceeds of $2,177,000 from a long-term convertible debt offering in October 2008 and $1,712,000 generated from our operating activities during fiscal year 2009, partially offset by cash used to purchase a $500,000 certificate of deposit as security for a new credit line, $441,000 for purchases of property and equipment, and payments of $316,000 on our debt and capital lease obligations.
The Company had cash of $1,173,000 at September 30, 2008, compared to cash of $177,000 at September 30, 2007, an increase of $996,000. This increase in cash in 2008 is primarily due to net proceeds of $3,496,000 from convertible debt offerings and $686,000 from the sale of our common stock during fiscal year 2008, partially offset by $2,870,000 used in operating activities during fiscal year 2008, $222,000 for purchases of property and equipment, and payments of $94,000 on our debt and capital lease obligations.

Investing Activities
During fiscal year 2009, we purchased $532,000 of capital equipment, primarily as a result of our growth during the fiscal year. $441,000 of the capital equipment was paid for with cash, and $91,000 was purchased through capital leases. The property and equipment consisted of leasehold improvements, computer equipment and software, warehouse equipment, and office furniture. In addition, we purchased a $500,000 certificate of deposit as security for a $500,000 credit line discussed below in Note 8 of the consolidated financial statements. The certificate matures in September 2010 and bears interest at a rate of 1.242% per annum.

Outlook
The Company has experienced tremendous growth over the past two years and, as a result, five consecutive profitable quarters while generating positive operating cash flows during fiscal year 2009. We believe we have built an infrastructure and business model that are capable of generating a substantially higher sales volume at reduced levels of incremental cost. In an effort to continue our growth, we plan on accelerating our advertising efforts over the next twelve months to attract new customers and expand our operations to service our new and existing customers. The outlook for demand for our products and services is favorable, as there should be an increase in newly-diagnosed patients requiring the medical supplies that we provide. We expect our revenues to increase significantly over the next twelve months due to our advertising and marketing programs. The Company does not anticipate any major changes in Medicare reimbursement in 2010, nor in any other reimbursement programs available from other third-party payors. We applied for and were approved as a participating provider for Medicare. A participating provider is required to accept assignment for all Medicare allowable charges.
Due to our emphasis to accelerate our sales growth through our direct-response advertising efforts, we may be required to raise additional cash through the sale of our securities, whether on a debt or equity basis. As of September 30, 2009, we had 2.9 million of outstanding warrants at an average exercise price of $1.00 that expire during fiscal year 2010. We have already received telephone inquiries from several of the warrant holders over the last few months and expect a majority of these warrant holders to exercise these “in-the-money” warrants before expiration. There can be no assurance, of course, as to the amount or timing of the proceeds we may receive from the sale of our securities. However, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, together with cash generated from the collection of accounts receivable, the sale of products, and the proceeds of the sale of our securities will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements during the next twelve months.
Our current assets of $11,549,000 exceed our current liabilities of $8,353,000 by $3,196,000.
Our plan for the next twelve months includes the following:
    Accelerate our advertising and marketing efforts;
 
    Increase our customer base;
 
    Continue to service our current customer base and increase the retention rate;
 
    Continue to invest in the expansion of our infrastructure; and
 
    Increase our accounts receivable collection efforts.
In order to implement our current business model, we have completed the following:
    Identified and presented to many large funding sources, soliciting terms for long-term capital in the form of debt, equity or a combination of both;
 
    Retained an investor relations firm to further enhance our exposure and opportunities for long-term capital requirements;
 
    Identified products and related target customers through extensive market research;

17


Table of Contents

    Established efficient and cost effective methods to reach qualified customers;
 
    Established an infrastructure of management and knowledgeable staff to support substantial growth in sales with a minimal amount of additional staff members, maximizing our revenue per employee;
 
    Leased an additional 24,000 square foot facility to house our expanding workforce and support our continued growth. We are currently in the process of completing the build out of this facility to house our call center and other administrative functions. We expect to be in the new facility by the end of January 2010;
 
    Created a HIPPA compliant IT infrastructure and staff to accommodate additional growth in sales;
 
    Established a marketing plan that can be monitored for effectiveness and is flexible enough to adjust to changing market conditions; and
 
    Tested our advertising methods and established methods of testing additional advertising methods to meet with changing market conditions.
We will continue to operate as a federally licensed, direct-to-consumer, Part B Benefits Provider, primarily focused on supplying medical supplies to the chronically ill patients.
Contractual Obligations
A summary of our contractual obligations for convertible debt obligations, capital lease obligations, minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating leases, and minimum purchase commitments as of September 30, 2009 is presented in the following table (dollars in thousands):
                                                 
    Payments due by period  
    Totals     FY 2010     FY 2011     FY 2012     FY 2013     FY 2014  
Convertible debt obligations (1)
  $ 6,901     $ 4,360     $ 2,541     $     $     $  
Capital lease obligations
    176       100       63       13              
Operating leases
    1,566       470       492       439       94       71  
Purchase commitment (2)
    532       102       120       120       120       70  
 
                                   
Total contractual obligations
  $ 9,175     $ 5,032     $ 3,216     $ 572     $ 214       141  
 
                                   
 
(1)   The convertible debt obligations that are due in fiscal year 2010 include $601,000 of convertible notes that are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.50 per share and $3,500,000 of convertible notes that are convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share. Based on the current price of our common stock, we anticipate that the majority of this debt will be converted into shares of common stock at some point during fiscal year 2010. If for some reason the notes are not converted, we believe we have significant financial resources to meet our debt obligations.
 
(2)   The purchase commitment includes a long distance service agreement that requires us to purchase a minimum of $6,000 per month of long distance service through December 2009. Effective January 2010, our commitment level will increase to a minimum level of $10,000 per month, partially offset by rebates for the first five months of service. The long distance service agreement expires in April 2014.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 30, 2009, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could materially impact the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the following critical accounting policies reflect the more significant estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable are generally due from Medicare, Medicaid, private insurance companies, and our patients. The collection process is time consuming, complex and typically involves the submission of claims to multiple layers of payers whose payment of claims may be contingent upon the payment of another payer. As a result, our collection efforts may be active for up to 18 to 24 months from the initial billing date. In accordance with regulatory requirements, we make reasonable and appropriate efforts to collect our accounts receivable, including deductible and copayment amounts, in a consistent manner for all classes of payers.
The Company carries its trade accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges the allowance account for any balances that are determined to be uncollectible. On a quarterly basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions.
We analyze our outstanding accounts receivable in 30 day aging buckets and have established reserve requirements based on the aging of the receivable. Receivables that are greater than 24 months and determined to be uncollectible are typically written off as soon as administratively possible after that determination is made. Currently, we reserve 90% of the receivable amount for any receivable greater than 120 days.
Deferred Advertising
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 340-20, Capitalized Advertising Costs, we capitalize and amortize direct-response advertising and related costs when we can demonstrate, among other things, that patients have directly responded to our advertisements. We assess the realizability of the amounts of direct-response advertising costs reported as assets at the end of each reporting period by comparing the carrying amounts of such assets to the probable remaining future net cash flows expected to result directly from such advertising. Management’s judgments include determining the period over which such net cash flows are estimated to be realized.
Currently, the amortization rate is such that 53% of the initial cost is amortized over twelve months on a straight-line basis. In the second, third and fourth years, 25%, 14% and the final 8% of costs, respectively, are also amortized over twelve months on a straight-line basis. A business change, including a change in reimbursement rates, that reduces expected net cash flows or that shortens the period over which such net cash flows are estimated to be realized could result in accelerated charges against our earnings.

Stock-Based Compensation Expense
Effective September 14, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by Topic 718, under which stock-based compensation is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Topic 718. We estimate the fair values of share-based payments on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires assumptions for the expected volatility of the share price of our common stock and a risk-free interest rate over the expected term of the stock-based award.
Since the Company’s common stock has only been trading publicly since July 2007 with relatively light volume, we do not have sufficient company specific information regarding the volatility of our share price on which to base an estimate of expected volatility. As a result, we use the historical volatilities of similar entities within our industry as the expected volatility of our share price.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant date with a remaining term equal to the expected tem of the stock-based award.
In December 2007, the SEC issued guidance allowing companies, under certain circumstances, to utilize a simplified method, based on the average of the vesting term and contractual term of the award, in determining the expected term of stock-based awards. Since we do not have sufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term due to the limited period of time that our equity shares have been publicly traded, we utilize the simplified method to calculate the expected term of stock-based awards.
The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent our best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 carryforwards. 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. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company files consolidated federal and state income tax returns.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, (“FIN 48”) and FSP FIN 48-1, which amended certain provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of the Company’s tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The provisions of FIN 48 also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. In connection with our adoption of FIN 48, we analyzed the filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48 or FSP FIN 48-1. In accordance with FIN 48, the Company adopted the policy of recognizing penalties in selling, general, and administrative expenses and interest, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense.

Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures. The evaluation examined the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2009, the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on that evaluation, such officers have concluded that, as of September 30, 2009, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports filed or submitted by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal controls are designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Internal control over financial reporting has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance, not absolute, assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.

21


Table of Contents

Under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2009, as required by the Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(c). In making our assessment, we have utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control —Integrated Framework. We concluded that based on our evaluation, our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of September 30, 2009.
This annual report does not include an audit or attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding our internal control over financial reporting. Our management’s report was not subject to audit or attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls
Except as set forth in the following paragraph, during the fiscal year 2009 there were no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect such internal controls over financial reporting.
During fiscal year 2009, the Company hired a controller with SEC reporting and U.S. GAAP knowledge, a degreed staff accountant to assist with the monthly closing and reporting processes, and an experienced payroll administrator to support the growth of our business. During fiscal year 2009, the Company strengthened the financial closing process and implemented additional control procedures to ensure appropriate cut-off and review procedures to coincide with the increased levels of sales and costs associated with the growth of our business.
Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with associated policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART III
Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers and Corporate Governance
As of September 30, 2009, the Executive Officers and Directors of the Company were:
         
Name   Age   Position(s) with the Company
Mark Libratore   58  
President, Chief Executive Officer, Director
Robert Davis   63  
Chief Financial Officer
John Leger   54  
Chief Operating Officer
The business experience of each of the persons listed above during the past five years is as follows:
Mark Libratore - In 1990, Mr. Libratore founded Liberty Medical Supply, Inc., which has become the nation’s largest direct-to-consumer diabetic supplier. Mr. Libratore sold this business to PolyMedica Corporation (PLMD) in August 1996 and remained President of Liberty Medical and Senior Vice President of PolyMedica until February 1999. Mr. Libratore founded Liberator Medical Supply, Inc., in 1999 and became an officer and director of the Company in 2007.
Robert Davis - Robert Davis, has a Masters degree in Accounting from the University of Houston, and holds a CPA certificate from the State of Texas. Bob has held numerous financial executive-level positions as Comptroller and Vice President of Finance for companies such as controller for a Manufacturer of Jet Engine parts, TurboCombustor Corp., Data Development Inc., and Caribbean Computer Corp., and served as CFO and Manager of Financial Planning for Liberty Medical Supply, Inc. from 1995 to 1999. He has been the Chief Financial Officer of Liberator Medical Supply, Inc., since its organization, and of the Company since 2007.
John Leger - John joined Liberator Medical Supply, Inc. in April 2006, and has been the Chief Operating Officer of the Company since 2007. John was the Senior VP of Operations at Liberty Medical Supply from December 1991 through January 2004. He was responsible for diabetic call center operations, customer services, repeat customer sales, document acquisition and management, claims processing to Medicare, mail services, shipping, receiving, and purchasing. John worked closely with Mark Libratore in building the mail order diabetes business to $100M in annualized sales, and stayed on with the company through its growth to over 650,000 active customers. Due to an agreement not to compete with Liberty during a severance agreement period, John made his expertise available as an independent consultant until he joined Closer Healthcare, Inc. as a VP of Operations in 2005. Closer is a mail order provider of diabetes testing supplies and primarily serviced customers in national clinical trials as well as the managed care sector. He spent a year with Closer prior to joining Liberator Medical.
Each director of the Company serves until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies. Each officer serves until the first meeting of the Board of Directors following the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualifies.
As of September 30, 2009, the Company’s sole director acts as the Audit Committee. As the sole director of the Company, he has determined that the cost of having a financial expert on its Board of Directors would place an undue economic burden, given the size of the Company.
Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission initial statements of beneficial ownership, reports of changes in ownership and annual reports concerning their ownership of the our common stock and other equity securities, on Form 3, 4 and 5 respectively. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulations to furnish our company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of the copies of such reports received by us, and on written representations by our officers and directors regarding their compliance with the applicable reporting requirements under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, we believe that, with respect to the year ended September 30, 2009, our officers and directors, and all of the persons known to us to own more than 10% of our common stock, filed all required reports on a timely basis.

The individuals who served as our chief executive officer, our chief financial officer, and our chief operating officer during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009, are referred to in this Form 10-K as the “Named Executive Officers.” We did not have a Compensation Committee because there is only one director, our Chief Executive Officer and President, as of September 30, 2009. Compensation for the Named Executive Officers was determined by our President as the sole Director. We plan to expand the Board in fiscal year 2010 and, if feasible, to establish a Compensation Committee comprised of independent directors.
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
Our compensation program for the Named Executive Officers is intended to attract, retain, motivate and appropriately reward talented executives who can contribute significantly to our financial growth and success, and thereby build value for our stockholders over the long term. The program has the following specific goals:
    To offer a total compensation package to the Named Executive Officers that is competitive in the marketplace for executive talent.
 
    To motivate the Named Executive Officers to achieve our business objectives by providing incentive compensation awards that take into account our overall performance and that measure performance against those business objectives.
 
    To provide equity-based, long-term compensation arrangements that creates meaningful incentives for the Named Executive Officers to maximize our near and long-term future performance that aligns their interests with our shareholders’ and encourage the Named Executive Officers to remain with the Company.
To achieve these objectives, the Board is developing certain processes for setting Named Executive Officer compensation and is constructing an overall compensation program that consists of a number of elements, as described below.
Employment and Consulting Agreements
We have entered into employment contracts with the three Named Executive Officers. There are no consulting agreements with any of our Named Executive Officers.

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2009 Fiscal Year End
On September 14, 2007, the Company issued options to the Named Executive Officers and others under the Company’s 2007 Stock Plan. On January 2, 2008, the Company rescinded all outstanding options effective as of their date of issuance because they did not conform to the 2007 Stock Plan. Accordingly, there were no outstanding equity awards at 2007 fiscal year end. On January 2, 2008, the Company issued new options under, and in conformity with, the Company’s 2007 Stock Plan to the Named Executive Officers and others in the same amounts, and under the same terms, as the rescinded options. On February 16, 2008, the Company rescinded all outstanding options effective as of their date of issuance. Also on February 16, 2008, the Company issued new options under, and in conformity with, the Company’s Stock Plan to certain employees, not including the Named Executive Officers, in the same amounts, and under the same terms, as the rescinded options. On April 14, 2008, the Company issued new options under and in conformity with, the Company’s Stock Plan to the Named Executive Officers and one other employee, in the same amounts, and under the same terms, as the rescinded options. On October 30, 2008, the company issued new options under the 2007 Stock Plan to two of the Named Executive Officers and other employees. On August 18, 2009, the Company issued additional options under the 2007 Stock Plan to the Named Executive Officers and other employees.

Potential Payments Upon Termination
Employment and Consulting Agreements
We have employment agreements with the Named Executive Officers and one additional employee. These employment agreements provide for potential payments upon termination.
Director Compensation
As of September 30, 2009, the Company had one director, Mark A. Libratore, who does not receive any compensation as a director.
How Compensation is Determined
The Company does not have a Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors determines the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. All other compensation is determined by the Named Executive Officers on the basis of the value of an employee or a contracted service to the Company. In addition, compensation by other companies of like size for comparable services and other factors specific to each determination of compensation are taken into consideration. The Company’s compensation policy for its Named Executive Officers and managers is determined by the financial results of the Company. Base salaries are supplemented by cash performance bonuses determined by the Board of Directors in January of each year based on the prior year financial results. The Board also recognizes that those Named Executive Officers and managers may also be shareholders of the Company and accordingly who share in dividends paid by the Company from its earnings.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
Equity Compensation Plans
2007 Stock Plan
Our 2007 Stock Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was adopted by our board of directors and was approved by our stockholders at our annual stockholder meeting on September 10, 2008. Stock options, stock appreciation rights, or SARs, stock awards and cash awards may be granted under the 2007 Plan. Each is referred to as an award in the 2007 Plan. Options granted under the 2007 plan may be either “incentive stock options,” as defined under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or “non-statutory stock options.” The number of shares of common stock to be reserved and available for awards under the 2007 Stock Plan (subject to certain adjustments as provided therein) is 1,000,000.
On September 4, 2009, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2007 Stock Plan that increases the number of shares reserved and available for awards to 2,000,000.
The 2007 Plan is administered by the board of directors acting as a whole or by a delegated officer or officers in certain instances. Awards under the 2007 plan may be granted to our employees, directors and consultants. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees. The administrator, in his discretion, approves awards granted under the 2007 Plan. Generally, if an awardees’ service to us terminates other than by reason of death, disability, and retirement or for cause, vested options and SARs will remain exercisable for a period of thirty days.
The plan terminates on September 13, 2017. In the event of a termination of service of a participant or death of a participant, the award grant may provide for exercise within a reduced period. Unless otherwise determined by the administrator, awards granted under the 2007 Plan are not transferable other than by will, domestic relations order, or the laws of descent or distribution may be exercised during the awardees’ lifetime only by the awardees.

Table of Contents

The administrator determines the exercise price of options at the time the options are granted. The exercise price of an incentive stock option may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of an option may not be more than ten years from the date of grant. No option may be exercised after the expiration of its term. Any incentive stock option granted to a ten percent stockholder may not have a term of more than five years. The administrator may grant SARs alone, in addition to, or in tandem with, any other awards under the plan. An SAR entitles the participant to receive the amount by which the fair market value of a specified number of shares on the exercise date exceeds an exercise price established by the administrator. The excess amount will be payable on ordinary shares, in cash or in a combination thereof, as determined by the administrator. The terms and conditions of an SAR will be contained in an award agreement. The grant of an SAR may be made contingent upon the achievement of objective performance conditions.
The administrator may grant stock awards such as bonus stock, restricted stock or restricted stock units. Generally, such awards will contain vesting features such that awards will either not be delivered, or may be repurchased by us at cost, if the vesting requirements are not met. The administrator will determine the vesting and shared delivery terms.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
Mark Libratore, the President and Chief Executive Officer of both the Company and Liberator Medical, has loans outstanding to Liberator Medical in the amount of $1,515,000 at September 30, 2009.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the Company), as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain a reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two year period ended September 30, 2009 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes To The Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2009
Note 1 — Nature of the Business
Corporate History
Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc., (“We” or the “Company”) was organized in December 1906 in the State of Utah under the name Cardiff Mining & Milling Company. During the 1960’s the Company changed its name to Cardiff Industries, Inc. and sold its mining operations. During the next decade the Company focused its operations on the television and radio industry. Consequently in 1980, the Company’s name was changed to Cardiff Communications, Inc. The Company changed its domicile to the state of Nevada which was effective in 1999 and filed with the Secretary of State of Nevada in 2001. In June 2007 the Company’s name was changed to Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. The Company has had no operations during the 10 years to June, 2007. On June 22, 2007, we completed the acquisition of Liberator Medical Supply, Inc., a Florida corporation, located in Stuart, Florida (“LMS”). The acquisition was consummated pursuant to an agreement entered into as of June 18, 2007, whereby we agreed to merge our newly-created, wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardiff Merger, Inc., a Florida corporation, with and into LMS, with LMS being the surviving entity as our wholly-owned subsidiary. Under the terms of the merger agreement, we issued 25,447,956 restricted shares of our common stock to the stockholders of LMS. We also agreed to issue to the then current holders of LMS options and warrants exercisable to purchase restricted shares of the Company’s common stock on terms and conditions equivalent to the existing terms and conditions of the respective LMS options and/or warrants. Also, we added LMS’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark A. Libratore, to our Board of Directors and appointed him our President and Chief Executive Officer. As a condition of the merger agreement, the Company’s former President, Rubin Rodriguez, returned 9,990,000 shares to the Company for cancellation and, at closing of the acquisition, the Company issued 2,713,680 shares in exchange for debt. These 2,713,680 shares were issued without restrictive legend, pursuant to Rule 144(K). Accordingly, upon completion of the acquisition the Company had 28,411,135 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Liberator Medical Supply, Inc. (“LMS”) was incorporated in the State of Florida in July 1999. LMS is a provider of direct-to-consumer durable medical supplies primarily to seniors. On December 7, 2004, LMS changed its tax status from a Subchapter S corporation, where its profits, losses and other tax items flow through to the stockholders, to a C corporation. About seventy-five percent of LMS’s revenue is derived from four product lines: Diabetes, Urological, Ostomy, and Mastectomy. LMS provides a simple and reliable way for patients to obtain their supplies. LMS’s employees communicate directly with patients and their physicians regarding patients’ prescriptions and supply requirements on a regular basis and LMS bills Medicare and third-party insurers on behalf of the patients. LMS markets its products directly to consumers primarily through targeted media, direct-response television advertising and direct-response print advertising to patients throughout the United States. LMS’s patient service representatives are specifically trained to communicate with patients, in particular seniors, helping them to follow their doctors’ orders and manage their chronic diseases. The LMS’s operating platforms enable it to efficiently collect and process required documents from physicians and patients and bill and collect amounts due from Medicare, other third party payers and directly from patients.
The acquisition of LMS and its wholly owned subsidiary, Liberator Services Corporation (“LSC”), was accounted for as a reverse acquisition. Although Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc., through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardiff Merger, Inc. was the company that made the acquisition, LMS and LSC were treated as the surviving company for accounting purposes. As a result, the accompanying financial statements reflect the consolidated results of operations and cash flows of LMS and LSC prior to June 22, 2007, and the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc., LMS and LSC, from and after June 22, 2007. The acquisition of LMS resulted in a change of control of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. As a result of the reverse acquisition accounting treatment, LMS is deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes. Effective on the acquisition date of June 22, 2007, the Company’s consolidated balance sheet included the assets and liabilities of LMS and LSC and its consolidated equity accounts were recapitalized to reflect the combined equity of Liberator Medical Holdings, LMS and LSC.

On August 20, 2007, the Company changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to September 30. The change in fiscal year results from the reverse acquisition of LMS and LSC.
On July 15, 2008, the Company changed the name of LSC to Liberator Health and Education Services, Inc. (“LHE”).
On April 13, 2009, the Company formed Liberator Health and Wellness, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Liberator Medical Holdings, Inc. The new organization will focus primarily on opportunities to expand our sales of medical supplies over the Internet.
Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. A summary of the more significant policies is set forth below:
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, Liberator Medical Supply, Inc., Liberator Health and Education Services, Inc., and Liberator Health and Wellness, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash equivalents include money market accounts and any highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash
The Company purchased a $500,000 certificate of deposit in September 2009, which is pledged as security for the credit line facility described below in Note 8. This certificate matures in September 2010 and bears interest at a rate of 1.242% per annum.
Accounts Receivable
The Company carries its trade accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts. Management closely monitors outstanding accounts receivable and charges the allowance account for any balances that are determined to be uncollectible. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts, when deemed necessary, based on its history of past write-offs and collections and current credit conditions. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $2,327,000 and $1,056,000, respectively.
The bad debts written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the nine months ended September 30, 2007 was $1,216,000, $290,000, and $344,000, respectively.
Inventories
Inventories are comprised of finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or market determined by the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Allowances for obsolete inventory are recorded for inventory considered to be in excess or obsolete.
Deferred Advertising Costs
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 340-20, Capitalized Advertising Costs, we capitalize and amortize direct-response advertising and related costs when we can demonstrate, among other things, that patients have directly responded to our advertisements. We assess the realizability of the amounts of direct-response advertising costs reported as assets at the end of each reporting

Table of Contents

period by comparing the carrying amounts of such assets to the probable remaining future net cash flows expected to result directly from such advertising. Management’s judgments include determining the period over which such net cash flows are estimated to be realized. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, $3,755,000 and $1,430,000 of advertising costs were recorded as deferred advertising on the consolidated balance sheets. For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, and the nine months ended September 30 2007, $1,866,000, $449,000 and $113,000, respectively, of deferred advertising costs were amortized and charged to expense.
Debt Issuance Costs
Costs associated with obtaining and closing loans such as, but not limited to placement agent fees, attorney fees and state documentary fees are capitalized and expensed over the term of the loan. Debt issuance costs of $345,000 and $633,000 were deferred during the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Debt issuance costs amortized for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $484,000 and $140,000, respectively. There were no deferred debt issuance costs during the nine month period ended September 30, 2007.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Property and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the respective assets, which range from 3 to 10 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the related lease term or useful life. Maintenance, repairs, and minor improvements are charged to expense as incurred; major renewals and betterments that extend the useful life of the associated asset are capitalized. When items of property and equipment are sold or retired, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in results of operations for the period.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes income from the sale of its medical products under two policies. First, the sale of medical supplies or equipment from its retail store is recognized when the sale takes place (Point of Sale). Generally, no Medicare or third party (private insurance) assignment is accepted by the Company on these sales. Second, revenue is recognized under an assignment, which is the amount Medicare or a private provider will allow the Company for a particular medical supply or service. The Company will not record a sale of an “assignment” amount until all of the proper documentation such as prescriptions, Certificate of Medical Need, etc., are received from the patient or attended physician. When all documentation is received, the “assignment” amount is credited to sales and an accounts receivable account due from the provider. “Assignment” sales are usually recorded within five days of the order.
Shipping and Handling Costs
Shipping and handling costs are not charged to the patients in compliance with Medicare policy. Shipping and handling costs for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 amounted to $912,000, $315,000, and $87,000, respectively. These amounts are included in cost of sales on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. 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 carryforwards. 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. A valuation allowance on deferred tax assets is established when management considers it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company files consolidated federal and state income tax returns.

Table of Contents

Effective January 1, 2007, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, (“FIN 48”) and FSP FIN 48-1, which amended certain provisions of FIN 48. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 requires that the Company determine whether the benefits of the Company’s tax positions are more likely than not of being sustained upon audit based on the technical merits of the tax position. The provisions of FIN 48 also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. In connection with our adoption of FIN 48, we analyzed the filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. There was no impact on our consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits and there was no effect on the financial condition or results of operations as a result of implementing FIN 48 or FSP FIN 48-1. In accordance with FIN 48, the Company adopted the policy of recognizing penalties in selling, general, and administrative expenses and interest, if any, related to unrecognized tax positions as income tax expense.
Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of amounts previously reported have been made to the accompanying consolidated financial statements in order to maintain consistency and comparability between the periods presented.
Leases
In accordance with ASC Topic 840, Leases, the Company performs a review of newly acquired leases to determine whether a lease should be treated as a capital or operating lease. Capital lease assets are capitalized and depreciated over the term of the initial lease. A liability equal to the present value of the aggregated lease payments is recorded utilizing the stated lease interest rate. If an interest rate is not stated, the Company will determine an estimated cost of capital and utilize that rate to calculate the present value. If the lease has an increasing rate over time and/or is an operating lease, all leasehold incentives, rent holidays, or other incentives will be considered in determining if a deferred rent liability is required. Leasehold incentives are capitalized and depreciated over the initial term of the lease.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2009, Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) became the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) for nongovernmental entities, except for certain FASB Statements not yet incorporated into ASC. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for registrants. The discussion below includes the applicable ASC reference.
ASC Topic 815-10 Derivatives and Hedging (formerly SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities) was adopted by the Company effective January 2, 2009. The guidance under Topic 815-10 changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses. The Company does not currently hold derivative instruments and was not impacted by the adoption of this pronouncement.
The Company adopted ASC Topic 825-10 Financial Instruments (formerly, FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments), which requires quarterly disclosure

F-9


Table of Contents

of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of Topic 825-10. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the Company adopted ASC Topic 820-10-65 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (formerly FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly). The standard provides additional guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with Topic 820-10-65 when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate if a transaction is not orderly. The Company adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
The Company adopted, ASC Topic 855-10 Subsequent Events (formerly SFAS 165, Subsequent Events) effective April 1, 2009. This pronouncement changes the general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued.
In July 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS 168 codified all previously issued accounting pronouncements, eliminating the prior hierarchy of accounting literature, in a single source for authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. SFAS 168, now ASC Topic 105-10 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which clarifies, among other things, that when a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, an entity must measure fair value using one or more specified techniques. The Company adopted the pronouncement effective July 1, 2009 with no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, which revises the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance and changes the determination of when the individual deliverables included in a multiple-element revenue arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting, modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables and expands the disclosures required for multiple-element revenue arrangements. The pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued after December 31, 2010. The Company does not expect the pronouncement to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

As a result of this transaction, the Company incurred an additional $19,000 of interest expense that would not have been incurred if the Company had paid the interest due in cash. The rights and obligations of the note holder and the Company with respect to any future interest payments and the other terms of the notes are in all other respects unchanged.

Options
Prior to the merger discussed above in Note 1, LMS was primarily funded from operating revenues and from loans made by the Company’s founder, principal shareholder and President, Mark Libratore, in the amount of $3,254,000. Of that amount, Mr. Libratore converted $1,589,000 into paid-in capital of LMS. In connection with Mr. Libratore’s conversion of $1,589,000 of debt to equity and under the terms of the Private Placement and Merger Agreement, Mr. Libratore received and exercised 620,000 options in March 2007 and beginning on June 1, 2007, 356,455 options monthly until a total number of 4,541,009 options are received. The exercise price of the options is $0.0001. As of September 30, 2009, a total of 3,921,009 were outstanding. All previous agreements between the Company and Mr. Libratore relating to the conversion of debt to equity were rescinded. There can be no assurance that the terms of such loans, including the terms of conversion of loans into Common Stock and the options granted by Mr. Libratore on conversion, are those that could have been obtained in a transaction among unrelated parties. The Company has agreed to honor the agreement and issue options in the same amount and manner as LMS had agreed to.

On September 14, 2007 the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to recognize expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by Topic 718, under which stock-based compensation for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 is based on grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Topic 718 and compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, as well as the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remained outstanding as of January 1, 2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of Topic 718.
The fair values of share-based payments are estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008:
                 
    2009   2008
Risk-free interest rate:
    1.68 %     2.77 %
Expected term:
  3 years   3 years
Expected dividend yield:
    0 %     0 %
Expected volatility:
    57.32 %     27.97 %
For the years ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, the Company recorded $86,000, $40,000, and $0 of stock-based compensation expense which has been classified as Operating expenses, sub-classification of Payroll, taxes and benefits. As of September 30, 2009, there is $334,000 in total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested employee stock options granted under the 2007 Stock Plan, which is expected to be recognized over 1.75 years.
2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) became effective June 10, 2009, the effective date of the registration statement filed on Form S-8 with the SEC. The ESPP provides a means by which employees of the Company are given an opportunity to purchase common stock of the Company through payroll deductions. The maximum number of shares to be offered under the ESPP is 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to changes authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company. Shares are offered through consecutive offering periods with durations of approximately six (6) months, commencing on the first trading day on or after June 1st and November 30th of each year and terminating on the last trading day before the commencement of the next offering period. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “employee stock purchase plan” within the meaning of Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The ESPP allows employees to designate up to 15% of their cash compensation to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of the lesser of the fair market value at the beginning of the offering period or the exercise date, which is the last trading day of the offering period. Employees who own stock possessing 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of the Company’s common stock are not eligible to participate in the ESPP.

The first offering period of the ESPP commenced on June 10, 2009 and will end on November 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009 no shares of the Company’s common stock have been purchased through the ESPP. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has received $27,000 through payroll deductions under the ESPP.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the shares expected to be issued under the ESPP at the grant date, the beginning date of the offering period, and recognizes compensation expense ratably over the offering period. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has recognized $19,000 of compensation expense related to the first offering period.
Sale of Common Stock
On July 12, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a private offering at a price of $0.80 per share of 2,500,000 restricted shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company and 1,250,000 warrants for the purchase of restricted shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, of the Company. The subscriber will receive, in payment of the subscription price of the shares, the number of shares subscribed and one warrant for each two (2) shares subscribed. The warrants are exercisable from the date of their issuance for a period ended three (3) years thereafter at a price of $1.60 per share. As of September 30, 2009, the Company had sold 1,785,981 shares of common stock. Proceeds for year ended September 30, 2008 was $787,000 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2007 was $641,000.

NOTE 11 — Income Taxes
The Company had a net income tax provision for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 of approximately $32,000. Although the Company had net operating losses carryforwards which completely offset its regular taxable income, the Company incurred alternative minimum tax on its net alternative minimum taxable income. For the year ended September 30, 2009, the Company had $4.9 million of federal net operating losses carryforwards and $4.7 million of Florida net operating losses which expire in 2028 and which are fully reserved. In addition, the Company does not have any net operating loss carrybacks. As a result, the Company was unable to recognize an income tax benefit for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009.
Actual income tax expense (benefit) differs from the amount calculated using the Federal statutory tax rate of 35% for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 as follows (dollars in thousands):

In assessing the ability to realize a portion of the deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more than likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of the deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities and projected future taxable income in making the assessment. The valuation allowance of deferred tax assets as of September 30, 2009 was $1.8 million. The decrease in the valuation allowance was approximately $1.1 million for the year ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to the utilization of prior year carryforward losses.

NOTE 14 — 401(K) Plan
The Company instituted a 401(K) Plan in early 2007. The Company at its sole discretion may contribute to each participant’s account a percentage of the participant’s effective deferral. The matching contribution, if any, will be determined at the end of the Plan year. There is no current intent to do so at this time.
Employees with one year of service can elect to defer a minimum of 1% and the greater of a maximum of 90% of their annual wages or the maximum dollar amount allowed by law into the plan. The vesting schedule for the employees matching portion is based upon a graded vesting schedule.
NOTE 15 — Concentration of Credit Risk
From time to time, the Company has cash and/or certificate of deposits in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. However, the Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on its cash balances or certificates of deposit. Cash and certificates of deposit exceeding federally insured limits amounted to $2,796,000 as of September 30, 2009.
NOTE 16 — Subsequent Events
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the time it filed its annual report on Form 10-K on December 17, 2009.
