Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

 

1.                            Nature of Operations

 

Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Inc. (the “Company” or “CRi”) was incorporated in Massachusetts on May 15, 1985.  On March 17, 1999, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware.

 

The Company is in the business of designing, manufacturing, and distributing advanced biomedical imaging solutions.  CRi has developed enabling technology that addresses markets in life science research and pharmaceutical drug development.  CRi’s enabling technology uses multispectral imaging and automated image analysis to detect and quantitate multiple proteins in intact tissue sections, thereby merging histopathology, molecular biology, and protein chemistry into a powerful new tool for cancer research and targeted therapy development, including combinatorial therapies.  In addition to capturing the presence of multiple proteins simultaneously, CRi technology quantitates protein levels on a cell-by-cell basis, revealing precise cancer cell phenotypes across intact tissues.  Multiple stages of drug development benefit from CRi technology, ranging from basic preclinical research to improving medical products.  The Company also designs, manufactures and sells, birefringement imaging systems and optical components for a variety of applications.

 

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of technological innovations, dependence on few customers, competition, new products, changes in regulations, strategic relationships, dependence upon key personnel, the results of regulatory reviews, protection of proprietary technology, the ability to transition from pilot-scale manufacturing to large-scale production of products and the Company’s ability to fund and manage growth.

 

If the Company is not able to obtain sufficient cash flows from operations, management may need to take measures to reduce its expenditures in order to maintain operations.  The Company has the ability and intent to reduce expenditures if necessary.

 

2.                            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market funds.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents cash held on deposit which is collateral for an outstanding letter of credit relating to the Company’s lease of office and manufacturing space.

 

Concentration of Credit and Business Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents.  The Company invests its cash in highly rated financial institutions.  The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition without requiring any collateral.

Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

 

The Company has contracts with the United States Government that accounted for 12% of total revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010.  One commercial customer accounted for 11% of the Company’s product revenue for the year ended March 31, 2010.  There is no concentration of credit due to the fact that this major customer relationship is winding down.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable represents the Company’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable.  The Company evaluates the allowance on a periodic basis based on historical write-off experience as well as a complete review of balances past due.  Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes that the receivable will not be recovered.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, principally purchased components, are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value.  The cost of inventories is determined on a weighted average actual cost basis.  The Company’s products, including the Company’s inventories, are subject to technological change or obsolescence; therefore, utilization of existing inventories and realization of carrying amounts may differ from the Company’s estimates.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company classifies shipping and handling costs, which consist primarily of costs incurred to transport products to the customer, as a component of operating expense in the statement of income.  Total shipping and handling costs were approximately $23,000 for the year ended March 31, 2010.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue related to product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured and customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated.  Deferred revenue represents shipments to distributors and end user customers as well as warranty services where the Company has future obligations to present goods and services conforming to specifications.  Revenue will be recognized once the future obligations are fulfilled which is shortly after the deferred revenue balance is established.  Provisions are made for estimated sales returns and warranty costs at the time of sale.

 

Funded research revenue relates to government contracts and is recorded as the related services are performed and amounts earned.  Costs associated with funded research revenue are recorded as research and development expense and approximate the corresponding amount of revenue.

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Betterments and major renewals are capitalized and included in property and equipment while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense.  When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the assets and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in net income.

 

The Company records certain products as equipment and amortizes the equipment over a useful life of three years.  The equipment is lent to prospective customers on a trial basis.  For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company transferred $105,000 from inventory to property and equipment as demo units.  If the equipment is sold, it is transferred out of property and equipment into inventory at its net book value.  For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company transferred $4,000 back to inventory to be sold.  The units sold run through cost of sales in the same manner as traditional sales.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred relating to the financing of long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the related agreement using the effective interest rate method.  The remaining carrying value of deferred costs at March 31, 2010 was $231,000.  Total amortization expense for the year ended March 31, 2010 was $65,000.

 

Warranty

 

The Company sells certain of its products to customers with a warranty that provides for replacement or repairs for defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year except for sales of certain optical network component products which have a five-year warranty.  Estimated costs relating to warranty claims are accrued by the Company upon shipment of product based upon historical warranty claim costs.  The change in the warranty liability in the year ended March 31, 2010 is as follows:

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Under this method, a valuation allowance is used to offset net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets may not be realized.  Management annually evaluates the recoverability of net deferred tax assets and the level of adequacy of the valuation allowance.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

As of April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the amended accounting principles related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (ASC 740, Income Taxes) that provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions.  This amendment 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.  A tax benefit from such uncertain tax positions may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits.  The amendment became applicable to the Company as of April 1, 2009.  Based on its analysis and review of all open tax years of the Company (March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010), and the current year to be filed, the Company determined that the adoption of this amendment does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  Prior to the adoption of this amendment the Company recorded its uncertain tax positions when it was probable that the uncertain tax position would result in a liability and it could be reasonably estimated

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the authoritative guidance within ASC 718 related to stock compensation.  This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, at the grant date.  The Company has elected to use the prospective method of adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock options granted or modified after the date of adoption.  For share-based payments granted subsequent to date of adoption, compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant will be recognized in the statement of income when the related awards vest.  There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

 

Prior to April 1, 2006, in accordance with ASC 718, the Company applied the intrinsic-value method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25.  Under the intrinsic-value method, compensation expense is recorded only if the market price of the stock exceeds the stock option exercise price at the measurement date.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements.

Notes to Financial Statements

March 31, 2010

 

On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-10 for all financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.  On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance in ASC 820-10 on the accounting for fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.

 

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

 

·                       Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·                       Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

·                       Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The effect of adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  On a recurring basis, the Company measures its cash equivalents, which consist of money market funds at fair value.  The market approach valuation technique is used, whereby the fair values of cash equivalents are determined based on quoted market prices in active markets.  As of March 31, 2010, all cash equivalents approximate fair value, and are considered to be Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt, approximate fair value at March 31, 2010.  The fair value of long-term debt and lines of credit were determined based on discounting cash flows using estimated incremental borrowing rates for obligations with similar characteristics obtained from the Company’s current lenders.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On July 1, 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) became the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP (other than rules and interpretive releases of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission).  The Codification is topically based with topics organized by ASC number and updated with Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”).  ASUs replace accounting guidance that was historically issued as Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”), FASB Interpretations (“FIN”), FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”), Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) Abstracts and other types of accounting standards.  The Codification became effective for the Company as of April 1, 2009.

March 31, 2010

 

In fiscal 2010, the Company adopted new accounting guidance within ASC 855, Subsequent Events.  The new guidance is intended to establish 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.  Subsequent events have been evaluated through June 25, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  Refer to Note 14 for additional information regarding the Company’s subsequent events.

 

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance within ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.  This new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Refer to Note 2 for additional information regarding the Company’s fair value measurements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

 

In March 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition with Multiple Deliverables.  The new guidance modifies the determination of the fair value of an arrangement with multiple deliverables which now requires a vendor to use its best estimate of the selling price when third party evidence of the selling price cannot be determined.  The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2010.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance under ASC 810, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).  The guidance amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46, and changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated.  The new guidance is effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2010.

When borrowing on a streamline basis, the Company is required to pay a finance charge equal to prime plus 1.25% and a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.25% of the gross financed accounts receivable balance.  When borrowing on an invoice by invoice basis, the Company is required to pay a finance charge equal to prime plus 1.50% and a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.375% of the gross financed accounts receivable balance.  Per the Agreement, “prime” is defined as the greater of 5.0% or the bank’s most recent announced “prime rate,” even if it is not the bank’s lowest rate.  The minimum monthly finance charge is $4,000.  Borrowings under this Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the business assets of the Company.

 

Transactions under this Agreement are accounted for as secured borrowings.  At March 31, 2010, approximately $1,125,000 of the amounts included in accounts receivable in the balance sheet had been assigned to the buyer under the accounts receivable purchase agreement and therefore were subject to the terms of the Agreement.  Payment of outstanding amounts may be accelerated if the Company fails to comply with the provisions of other outstanding indebtedness.

In November 2007, the Company amended its note payable to a related party in conjunction with the signing of a note payable with a third party (Note 8).  The amendment called for an extension of the maturity date from September 30, 2010 to December 31, 2012, increased the interest rate from 8% to 10% and called for an interest-only payment period through November 2010.  Beginning December 1, 2010, principal payments of $60,000 plus interest will be due monthly until maturity.  The note balance at March 31, 2010 was $1,476,000.  During the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company made payments for accrued interest of $148,000.

 

8.                            Note Payable and Warrants

 

In November 2007, the Company entered into a note payable agreement with a third party which is due on January 31, 2015.  The note is subordinated to the accounts receivable purchase agreement (Note 6) and is on equal standing with the related party note payable (Note 7).  Under the terms of the agreement the note accrues interest at a rate of 11%.  Interest-only payments are due through November 30, 2010 at which point monthly payments of $20,000 plus interest are due through December 31, 2012.  From January 31, 2013, monthly payments of $100,000 plus interest are due until maturity.  At March 31, 2010, $3,000,000, the full amount of the note, was outstanding.  For the year ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded interest expense of $330,000 related to the note.

 

In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company issued 145,000 common share purchase warrants to the third-party debt holder.  The warrants entitle the debt holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.25 per common share thereunder, subject to the terms of the warrant agreement.  The warrants are exercisable on or before January 2015.  None of the warrants have been exercised through March 31, 2010.

Guarantor Arrangements

 

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby officers and directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity.  The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a Director and Officer insurance policy that limits exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.  As a result, the Company believes that the estimated amounts of these agreements are minimal.

 

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies in its ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, vendors and customers.  Under these provisions the Company generally indemnifies and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities.  These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited.  The Company has not incurred material costs related to these indemnification agreements.  Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any related liabilities.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is party to various matters, both as plaintiff and as defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business.  In June 2010, the Company entered into negotiations to settle an existing claim related to patent infringement, leading to the Company’s probable issuance of a note payable to the plaintiff in the amount of $2,231,000.  The amount is to be repaid in accordance with a payments schedule over the next five years.  The event is considered to be a Type I subsequent event and thus has been recorded at its present value in the Company’s financial statements.

Management does not expect the outcome of the remaining claims to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

10.                     Common Stock

 

Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.  Dividends may be paid to holders of common stock when and if declared by the Board of Directors.  Since inception of the Company, no dividends have been declared or paid.

 

Per the terms of the common stock agreement underlying shares of common stock, the Company’s stockholders and the Company have the right of first refusal on any sale or transfer of common stock at the purchase price offered to the selling stockholder.

 

The Company will, at all times, reserve for issuance such number of shares of common stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding common stock options and warrants.

 

11.                     Stock Option Plan

 

In 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides for the grant of options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”) to certain employees.  As of March 31, 2009, there were 786,000 shares authorized for issuance under the Plan and it is the Company’s intention to issue new shares of common stock when options are exercised.

 

In October 2009, the Board of Directors amended the Certificate of Incorporation and authorized an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock.  Of these 1,500,000 additional shares, 375,000 were to be reserved for issuance under the Plan, making the total number of shares authorized under the Plan 1,161,000 as of March 31, 2010.

 

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board of Directors, which determines to whom options are granted, the number of shares subject to such options, exercise prices and other terms and conditions of the option contract.

 

The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to the fair value of the shares subject to such option on the date of grant, while the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted to any participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock must be at least equal to 110% of the fair value of the shares subject to such option on the date of grant.  The term of each incentive stock option granted pursuant to the Plan cannot exceed ten years, while the term of any incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock cannot exceed five years.  Options become exercisable at such times and in such installments as is provided in the option contract for each individual option which generally is for a period of five years.

In September 2007, the Company provided current employee holders of stock options with an exercise price of $17 or $19 per share (“Qualifying Options”) the opportunity to receive new options in exchange for the cancellation of their existing qualifying options at a fair market value exercise price of $7.25.  Half of the new options are subject to the same remaining vesting schedule as the qualifying options; the other half vest in annual 20% installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the new option grant date.  This event resulted in 85,050 qualifying options being canceled and 42,525 new options granted.  The grant term of the new options is ten years.  These new options will no longer qualify as incentive stock options.

During fiscal year 2010, the Company utilized the calculated value method for valuing options granted during the year.  Significant assumptions used in this calculation are noted below:

 

Expected term

 

8 years

 

Volatility

 

20%

 

Risk-free interest rate

 

1.71% - 2.55%

 

Dividend

 

0%

 

 

Pursuant to the authoritative guidance on stock compensation, the expected volatility assumption used by the Company is based on the historical volatility of comparable public companies in the Company’s industry as the Company’s common stock activity is too infrequent to accurately determine volatility for its own stock.  The Company bases its expected life assumption on its historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock options it grants to employees.

 

At March 31, 2010, total compensation expense related to nonvested options not yet recognized under the guidance is approximately $533,000, which will be recognized over the next five years.  Total compensation expense, related to stock options, for the year ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $209,000.  The total calculated value of options which were granted and partially vested during fiscal year 2010 is approximately $1,036,000.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at March 31, 2010 is $0.  Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2010 in excess of the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.

$

 

 

At March 31, 2010, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that these future benefits will not be realized.  If the Company achieves future profitability, a significant portion of these deferred tax assets could be available to offset future income taxes.

 

At March 31, 2010, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $10,806,000 and $1,903,000, respectively.  These loss carryforwards may be utilized to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2021 and 2013, respectively.

 

The Company also had available research and development credit carryforwards to offset future federal and state taxes of approximately $424,000 and $457,000, respectively, which begin to expire in 2017 and 2012.

 

Ownership changes, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, may limit the amount of net operating loss and credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually.

13.                     Defined Contribution Plan

 

Effective September 1, 2000, the Company’s existing profit-sharing plan was revised and amended to incorporate a 401(k) tax deferred payroll deduction program which also permits an employer match and a profit-sharing contribution.  Under the 401(k) plan, employees may contribute a tax-deferred amount as defined in the plan rules.  The Company may contribute to the program, by matching funds based on a percentage of the employee’s contributions, and it is also permitted to make a profit-sharing contribution, as determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The 401(k) Company match was $123,000 in the year ended March 31, 2010.

 

14.                     Subsequent Events

 

The Company has evaluated the impact of events occurring subsequent to March 31, 2010 through June 25, 2010.  Refer to Footnote 9 for a legal claim that was settled after year-end, but prior to the report date.

1.                            Nature of Operations

 

Cambridge Research & Instrumentation, Inc. (the “Company” or “CRi”) was incorporated in Massachusetts on May 15, 1985.  On March 17, 1999, the Company reincorporated in the State of Delaware.

 

The Company is in the business of designing, manufacturing, and distributing advanced biomedical imaging solutions.  CRi has developed enabling technology that addresses markets in life science research and pharmaceutical drug development.  CRi’s enabling technology uses multispectral imaging and automated image analysis to detect and quantitate multiple proteins in intact tissue sections, thereby merging histopathology, molecular biology, and protein chemistry into a powerful new tool for cancer research and targeted therapy development, including combinatorial therapies.  In addition to capturing the presence of multiple proteins simultaneously, CRi technology quantitates protein levels on a cell-by-cell basis, revealing precise cancer cell phenotypes across intact tissues.  Multiple stages of drug development benefit from CRi technology, ranging from basic preclinical research to improving medical products.  The Company also designs, manufactures and sells, birefringement imaging systems and optical components for a variety of applications.

 

The Company’s future results of operations involve a number of risks and uncertainties.  Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, development by the Company or its competitors of technological innovations, dependence on few customers, competition, new products, changes in regulations, strategic relationships, dependence upon key personnel, the results of regulatory reviews, protection of proprietary technology, the ability to transition from pilot-scale manufacturing to large-scale production of products and the Company’s ability to fund and manage growth.

 

If the Company is not able to obtain sufficient cash flows from operations, management may need to take measures to reduce its expenditures in order to maintain operations.  The Company has the ability and intent to reduce expenditures if necessary.

 

2.                            Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited statements as of September 30, 2010 and for the six months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010 have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information.  Accordingly, the information included in these notes to the financial statements related to unaudited financial information does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles.  In the opinion of the Company’s management, the interim information includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments and accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and money market funds.  The Company considers all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

 

Restricted cash represents cash held on deposit which is collateral for an outstanding letter of credit relating to the Company’s lease of office and manufacturing space.

 

Concentration of Credit and Business Risk

 

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of trade accounts receivable and cash and cash equivalents.  The Company invests its cash in highly rated financial institutions.  The Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customer’s financial condition without requiring any collateral.

 

The Company has contracts with the United States Government that accounted for 16% and 14% of total revenue for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.  One commercial customer accounted for 12% of the Company’s product revenue for the period ended September 30, 2009.  There is no concentration of credit at September 30, 2010 due to the fact that this major customer relationship has ended.

 

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest.  The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable represents the Company’s estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in existing accounts receivable.  The Company evaluates the allowance on a periodic basis based on historical write-off experience as well as a complete review of balances past due.  Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance when the Company believes that the receivable will not be recovered.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories, principally purchased components, are stated at the lower of cost (determined on a first-in, first-out basis) or market value.  The cost of inventories is determined on a weighted average actual cost basis.  The Company’s products, including the Company’s inventories, are subject to technological change or obsolescence; therefore, utilization of existing inventories and realization of carrying amounts may differ from the Company’s estimates.

 

Shipping and Handling Costs

 

The Company classifies shipping and handling costs, which consist primarily of costs incurred to transport products to the customer, as a component of operating expense in the statements of income.  Total shipping and handling costs were approximately $27,000 and $12,000 for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue related to product sales is recognized upon shipment provided that title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured and customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated.  Deferred revenue represents shipments to distributors and end user customers as well as warranty services where the Company has future obligations to present goods and services conforming to specifications.  Revenue will be recognized once the future obligations are fulfilled which is shortly after the deferred revenue balance is established.  Provisions are made for estimated sales returns and warranty costs at the time of sale.

Funded research revenue relates to government contracts and is recorded as the related services are performed and amounts earned.  Costs associated with funded research revenue are recorded as research and development expense and approximate the corresponding amount of revenue.

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Provisions for depreciation and amortization are computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  Betterments and major renewals are capitalized and included in property and equipment while expenditures for maintenance and repairs and minor renewals are charged to expense.  When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost of the assets and related allowances for depreciation and amortization are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in net income.

 

The Company records certain products as equipment and amortizes the equipment over a useful life of three years.  The equipment is lent to prospective customers on a trial basis.  For the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company transferred approximately $9,000 and $63,000, respectively, from inventory to property and equipment as demo units.  If the equipment is sold, it is transferred out of property and equipment into inventory at its net book value.  For the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company transferred $0 and $2,000, respectively, back to inventory to be sold.  The units sold run through cost of sales in the same manner as traditional sales.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred relating to the financing of long-term debt are deferred and amortized over the life of the related agreement using the effective interest rate method.  The remaining carrying value of deferred costs at September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $198,040 and $263,011, respectively.  Total amortization expense for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $32,485.

 

Warranty

 

The Company sells certain of its products to customers with a warranty that provides for replacement or repairs for defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year except for sales of certain optical network component products which have a five-year warranty.  Estimated costs relating to warranty claims are accrued by the Company upon shipment of product based upon historical warranty claim costs.  The change in the warranty liability in the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

Income Taxes

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities and expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  Under this method, a valuation allowance is used to offset net deferred tax assets if, based upon the available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the net deferred tax assets may not be realized.  Management annually evaluates the recoverability of net deferred tax assets and the level of adequacy of the valuation allowance.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions

 

As of April 1, 2009, the Company adopted the amended accounting principles related to accounting for uncertainty in income taxes (ASC 740, Income Taxes) that provides criteria for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions.  This amendment 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.  A tax benefit from such uncertain tax positions may be recognized only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits.  The amendment became applicable to the Company as of April 1, 2009.  Based on its analysis and review of all open tax years of the Company (March 31, 2007 through March 31, 2010), and the current year to be filed, the Company determined that the adoption of this amendment does not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  Prior to the adoption of this amendment the Company recorded its uncertain tax positions when it was probable that the uncertain tax position would result in a liability and it could be reasonably estimated

 

Share-Based Compensation

 

On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the authoritative guidance within ASC 718 related to stock compensation.  This guidance requires all share-based payments to employees to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values using an option-pricing model, such as the Black-Scholes model, at the grant date.  The Company has elected to use the prospective method of adoption, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for all stock options granted or modified after the date of adoption.  For share-based payments granted subsequent to date of adoption, compensation expense based on the fair value at the date of grant will be recognized in the statement of income when the related awards vest.  There was no impact on the Company’s financial statements as a result of the adoption of this guidance.

Prior to April 1, 2006, in accordance with ASC 718, the Company applied the intrinsic-value method of accounting prescribed by APB No. 25.  Under the intrinsic-value method, compensation expense is recorded only if the market price of the stock exceeds the stock option exercise price at the measurement date.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.  ASC 820-10 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements.  This statement does not require any new fair value measurements.

 

On April 1, 2008, the Company adopted ASC 820-10 for all financial assets and liabilities that are required to be measured on a recurring or nonrecurring basis.  On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance in ASC 820-10 on the accounting for fair value measurements of nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized and disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis.

 

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

 

·                       Level 1:  Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

·                       Level 2:  Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.

 

·                       Level 3:  Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions.

 

The effect of adoption of the guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  On a recurring basis, the Company measures its cash equivalents, which consist of money market funds at fair value.  The market approach valuation technique is used, whereby the fair values of cash equivalents are determined based on quoted market prices in active markets.  As of September 30, 2010 and 2009, all cash equivalents approximate fair value, and are considered to be Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and debt, approximate fair value at September 30, 2010.  The fair value of long-term debt and lines of credit were determined based on discounting cash flows using estimated incremental borrowing rates for obligations with similar characteristics obtained from the Company’s current lenders.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

On July 1, 2009, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) became the single source of authoritative U.S. GAAP (other than rules and interpretive releases of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission).  The Codification is topically based with topics organized by ASC number and updated with Accounting Standards Updates (“ASUs”).  ASUs replace accounting guidance that was historically issued as Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”), FASB Interpretations (“FIN”), FASB Staff Positions (“FSP”), Emerging Issue Task Force (“EITF”) Abstracts and other types of accounting standards.  The Codification became effective for the Company as of April 1, 2009.

 

In fiscal 2010, the Company adopted new accounting guidance within ASC 855, Subsequent Events.  The new guidance is intended to establish 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.  Subsequent events have been evaluated through December 10, 2010, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued.  Refer to Note 14 for additional information regarding the Company’s subsequent events.

 

On April 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting guidance within ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements.  This new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.  Refer to Note 2 for additional information regarding the Company’s fair value measurements for nonfinancial assets and liabilities.

 

In March 2009, the FASB issued updated guidance under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition with Multiple Deliverables.  The new guidance modifies the determination of the fair value of an arrangement with multiple deliverables which now requires a vendor to use its best estimate of the selling price when third party evidence of the selling price cannot be determined.  The new guidance was effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2010.  Adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company.

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued guidance under ASC 810, Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R).  The guidance amends certain requirements of FASB Interpretation No. 46, and changes how a company determines when an entity that is insufficiently capitalized or is not controlled through voting (or similar rights) should be consolidated.  The new guidance was effective for the Company beginning April 1, 2010.  The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company.

So long as the Company maintains a monthly Adjusted Quick Ratio (“AQR”), as defined in the Agreement, of 1.00:1.00 or greater, the Company may borrow on a streamline basis.  If the AQR is below 1.00:1.00, the Company must borrow on an invoice by invoice basis.  When borrowing on a streamline basis, the Company is required to pay a finance charge equal to prime plus 1.25% and a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.25% of the gross financed accounts receivable balance.  When borrowing on an invoice by invoice basis, the Company is required to pay a finance charge equal to prime plus 1.50% and a monthly collateral handling fee of 0.375% of the gross financed accounts receivable balance.  Per the Agreement, “prime” is defined as the greater of 4.0% or the bank’s most recent announced “prime rate,” even if it is not the bank’s lowest rate.  The minimum monthly finance charge is $4,000.  Borrowings under this Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of the business assets of the Company.

 

Transactions under this Agreement are accounted for as secured borrowings.  At September 30, 2010 and 2009, approximately $765,000 and $1,125,000 of the amounts included in accounts receivable in the balance sheets had been assigned to the buyer under the accounts receivable purchase agreement and therefore were subject to the terms of the Agreement.  Payment of outstanding amounts may be accelerated if the Company fails to comply with the provisions of other outstanding indebtedness.

 

As of July of 2010 the Company’s AQR was below the 1.00:1.00 or greater AQR needed to borrow on a streamline basis and thus, as of September 30, 2010, the Company is borrowing on an invoice by invoice basis.

 

7.                            Related Party Notes Payable

 

In November 2007, the Company amended its note payable to a related party in conjunction with the signing of a note payable with a third party (Note 8).  The amendment called for an extension of the maturity date from September 30, 2010 to December 31, 2012, increased the interest rate from 8% to 10% and called for an interest-only payment period through November 2010.  Beginning December 1, 2010, principal payments of $60,000 plus interest will be due monthly until maturity.  The note balance at September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1,476,000.

 

During the period ended September 30, 2009, the Company made payments for accrued interest of $74,000, all of which was paid in cash.  During the period ended September 30, 2010, the Company made payments for accrued interest in the amount of $74,000, of which approximately $49,500 was paid in cash and the remaining $24,500 was paid in the form of 6,152 shares of common stock.

 

In September 2010, the Company entered into five separate one-year promissory notes with five of the Company’s shareholders.  Each agreement is identical, paying 8% interest, and is not collateralized by any of the assets of the Company.  The agreements will be repaid in a lumpsum at maturity or earlier, at the option of the Company.

8.                            Note Payable and Warrants

 

In November 2007, the Company entered into a note payable agreement with a third party which is due on January 31, 2015.  The note is subordinated to the accounts receivable purchase agreement (Note 6) and is on equal standing with the related party note payable (Note 7).  Under the terms of the agreement the note accrues interest at a rate of 11%.  Interest-only payments are due through November 30, 2010 at which point monthly payments of $20,000 plus interest are due through December 31, 2012.  From January 31, 2013, monthly payments of $100,000 plus interest are due until maturity.  The amount outstanding at September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $3,055,000 and $3,000,000, respectively.  For the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded interest expense of $165,000 related to the note.

 

In connection with the issuance of the notes, the Company issued 145,000 common share purchase warrants to the third-party debt holder.  The warrants entitle the debt holder to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $7.25 per common share thereunder, subject to the terms of the warrant agreement.  The warrants are exercisable on or before January 2015.  None of the warrants have been exercised through September 30, 2010.

 

The Company amended the note and warrant purchase agreement effective for August 2010.  The amended agreement provides for regularly scheduled interest payments, payable monthly on the last day of each month, for the period August 2010 through March 2011, to be paid in cash or by adding the amount of such interest payment to the principal amount of the note.  As of September 30, 2010, interest payments totaling approximately $55,000 were capitalized, resulting in an increase to the original principal amount.  It is anticipated that all remaining payments until March 2011 will also be capitalized.  In addition, the $20,000 monthly redemptions required beginning in December 2010, as per the original agreement, through March 2011 may be paid in cash or may be deferred and become payable on the maturity date of the note.

Guarantor Arrangements

 

As permitted under Delaware law, the Company has agreements whereby officers and directors are indemnified for certain events or occurrences while the officer or director is, or was serving, at the Company’s request in such capacity.  The term of the indemnification period is for the officer’s or director’s lifetime.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a Director and Officer insurance policy that limits exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid.  As a result, the Company believes that the estimated amounts of these agreements are minimal.

 

The Company enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies in its ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, contractors, vendors and customers.  Under these provisions the Company generally indemnifies and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the Company’s activities.  These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement.  The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited.  The Company has not incurred material costs related to these indemnification agreements.  Accordingly, the Company has not accrued any related liabilities.

 

Legal Proceedings

 

The Company is party to various matters, both as plaintiff and as defendant, arising in the ordinary course of business.  In June 2010, the Company entered into negotiations to settle an existing claim related to patent infringement, leading to the Company’s issuance of a note payable to the plaintiff in the amount of $2,231,000.  The amount is to be repaid in accordance with a payments

Management does not expect the outcome of the remaining legal matters to have a materially adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

10.                     Common Stock

 

Each outstanding share of common stock is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders, including the election of directors.  Dividends may be paid to holders of common stock when and if declared by the Board of Directors.  Since inception of the Company, no dividends have been declared or paid.

 

Per the terms of the common stock agreement underlying shares of common stock, the Company’s stockholders and the Company have the right of first refusal on any sale or transfer of common stock at the purchase price offered to the selling stockholder.

 

The Company will, at all times, reserve for issuance such number of shares of common stock as shall then be issuable upon the exercise of all outstanding common stock options and warrants.

 

11.                     Stock Option Plan

 

In 1994, the Company adopted the 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”).  The Plan provides for the grant of options that are intended to qualify as incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”) to certain employees.  As of September 30, 2009, there were 786,000 shares authorized for issuance under the Plan and it is the Company’s intention to issue new shares of common stock when options are exercised.

 

In October 2009, the Board of Directors amended the Certificate of Incorporation and authorized an additional 1,500,000 shares of common stock.  Of these 1,500,000 additional shares, 375,000 were to be reserved for issuance under the Plan, making the total number of shares authorized under the Plan 1,161,000 as of September 30, 2010.

 

The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or by a committee of the Board of Directors, which determines to whom options are granted, the number of shares subject to such options, exercise prices and other terms and conditions of the option contract.

 

The exercise price of incentive stock options granted under the Plan must be at least equal to the fair value of the shares subject to such option on the date of grant, while the exercise price of any incentive stock option granted to any participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock must be at least equal to 110% of the fair value of the shares subject to such option on the date of grant.  The term of each incentive stock option granted pursuant to the Plan cannot exceed ten years, while the term of any incentive stock option granted to a participant who owns stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding capital stock cannot exceed five years.  Options become exercisable at such times and in such installments as is provided in the option contract for each individual option which generally is for a period of five years.

In September 2007, the Company provided current employee holders of stock options with an exercise price of $17 or $19 per share (“Qualifying Options”) the opportunity to receive new options in exchange for the cancellation of their existing qualifying options at a fair market value exercise price of $7.25.  Half of the new options are subject to the same remaining vesting schedule as the qualifying options; the other half vest in annual 20% installments on each of the first five anniversaries of the new option grant date.  This event resulted in 85,050 qualifying options being canceled and 42,525 new options granted.  The grant term of the new options is ten years.  These new options will no longer qualify as incentive stock options.

Pursuant to the authoritative guidance on stock compensation, the expected volatility assumption used by the Company is based on the historical volatility of comparable public companies in the Company’s industry as the Company’s common stock activity is too infrequent to accurately determine volatility for its own stock.  The Company bases its expected life assumption on its historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock options it grants to employees.

 

At September 30, 2010 and 2009, total compensation expense related to nonvested options not yet recognized under the guidance is approximately $506,000 and $525,000, respectively, which will be recognized over the next five years.  Total compensation expense, related to stock options, for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately $112,000 and $209,000 respectively.  The total calculated value of options which were granted and partially vested during fiscal year 2010 and 2009 is approximately $1,140,000 and $1,028,000, respectively.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding at September 30, 2010 is $0.  Aggregate intrinsic value represents the value of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2010 in excess of the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.

At September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance for the net deferred tax asset since it is more likely than not that these future benefits will not be realized.  If the Company achieves future profitability, a significant portion of these deferred tax assets could be available to offset future income taxes.

 

At September 30, 2010, the Company had available net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state tax purposes of approximately $13,520,000 and $4,618,000, respectively.  These loss carryforwards may be utilized to offset future taxable income and begin to expire in 2021 and 2013, respectively.

 

The Company also had available research and development credit carryforwards to offset future federal and state taxes of approximately $424,000 and $457,000, respectively, which begin to expire in 2017 and 2013.

 

Ownership changes, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code, may limit the amount of net operating loss and credit carryforwards that can be utilized annually.

 

13.                     Defined Contribution Plan

 

Effective September 1, 2000, the Company’s existing profit-sharing plan was revised and amended to incorporate a 401(k) tax deferred payroll deduction program which also permits an employer match and a profit-sharing contribution.  Under the 401(k) plan, employees may contribute a tax-deferred amount as defined in the plan rules.  The Company may contribute to the program, by matching funds based on a percentage of the employee’s contributions, and it is also permitted to make a profit-sharing contribution, as determined annually at the discretion of the Board of Directors.  The 401(k) Company match was $58,000 and $59,000, respectively, in the periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
