NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
 
 
1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Lifeloc Technologies, Inc. is a Colorado based developer, manufacturer and marketer of portable hand-held breathalyzers and related supplies and education.  We design, produce and sell fuel-cell based breath alcohol testing equipment.  We compete in all major segments of the portable breath alcohol testing instrument market, including law enforcement, workplace, corrections, original equipment manufacturing (“OEM”) and consumer markets. In addition, we offer a line of supplies, accessories, services, and training to support customers’ alcohol testing programs. We sell globally through distributors and sales agents, as well as directly to users.
 
2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
These financial statements have been prepared by us, without audit, and reflect normal recurring adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of the third quarter of 2011.  These financial statements do not include all disclosures associated with annual  financial statements and, accordingly, should be read in conjunction with footnotes contained in our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our Form 10 which became effective on May 31, 2011.  All shares and per share data reflect the 1-for-2 reverse stock split that became effective on May 3, 2010.
 
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements.   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions. Such estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as well as disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of sales and expense during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Note Receivable

We made a loan of $62,500 to Tipping Point, Inc. (TPI), an early stage company during the second quarter of 2011.  Although the loan was paid down by $10,000 in the third quarter of 2011, we do not expect to realize any significant sales to TPI in the near term.  We have provided a reserve against the loan of $50,000, leaving a net amount of $2,500, which is included in our balance sheet at September 30, 2011.  This note has a provision entitling us to convert it into stock of Tipping Point, Inc.  If converted, we would become a 20% equity holder.
 
Inventories.   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market. We reduce inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.  At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, inventory consisted of the following:
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Raw materials & deposits
  $ 430,370     $ 342,101  
Work-in process
    164,172       189,235  
Finished goods
    482,064       425,127  
Total gross inventories
    1,076,606       956,463  
Less reserve for obsolescence
    (42,541 )     (20,000 )
Total net inventories
  $ 1,034,065     $ 936,463  

Income Taxes.  We account for income taxes under the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 740, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”). We have determined an estimated annual effective tax rate.  The rate will be revised, if necessary, as of the end of each successive interim period during our fiscal year to our best current estimate.

The estimated annual effective tax rate is applied to the year-to-date ordinary income (or loss) at the end of the interim period.

ASC 740 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.  This pronouncement also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
 
7
 
 

 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments.   Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term trade receivables, note receivable and payables.  The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short-term receivables and payables approximate their fair value due to their short term maturities.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.  We have reviewed all recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements and do not believe the future adoption of any such pronouncements may be expected to cause a material impact on our financial condition or the results of our operations.
 
3.  BASIC AND DILUTED INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
 
We report both basic and diluted net income (loss) per share.  Basic net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.  Diluted net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing the net income or loss for the period by the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding during the period if the effect of the potential common shares is dilutive.  The shares used in the calculation of dilutive potential common shares exclude options to purchase shares where the exercise price was greater than the average market price of common shares for the period.
 
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

4.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
 
On May 1, 2010 all 104,000 outstanding stock options were exercised at their exercise price of $0.40 apiece, for total proceeds of $41,600.
 
At their annual meeting on May 3, 2010, our stockholders approved a reverse stock split of our no par value common stock.  Every two shares of common stock were combined into one share.  No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split.  Instead, each resulting fractional share of common stock was rounded to the nearest whole share.  The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of common stock outstanding from 4,844,832 to 2,422,416 (which gives effect to the options exercised on May 1, 2010 as described above).  The total number of authorized shares of common stock continues to be 50,000,000, with no change in the par value per share of $0.  All shares and per share data in the accompanying financial statements reflect the effects of the 1-for-2 reverse stock split that became effective on May 3, 2010.
 
5.  LINE OF CREDIT
 
In May, 2011, we extended our line of credit for $150,000 with Citywide Bank.  The credit facility will mature on May 11, 2012, and the interest rate is calculated at the prime rate plus 1%.  There was no balance due on the line of credit as of December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011.
 
6.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
We evaluated all of our activity and concluded that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in our financial statements or disclosed in the notes to our financial statements.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following is a discussion of our financial condition and results of operations, and should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.  Certain statements contained in this section are not historical facts, including statements about our strategies and expectations about new and existing products, market demand, acceptance of new and existing products, technologies and opportunities, market and industry segment growth, and return on investments in products and markets.  These statements are forward looking statements and involve substantial risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements in this section are based on information available to us on the date of this document, and we assume no obligation to update such forward looking statements.  Readers of this Form 10-Q are strongly encouraged to review the section titled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10 which became effective May 31, 2011.

Overview

We have been a developer and manufacturer of advanced alcohol testing instruments since 1986.  We design and produce high-quality, precise and rapid recovery alcohol testing instruments for use in workplace, clinics, schools, law enforcement, corrections, and other applications.  We offer our customers accessories, service support, training and supplies.   Our internet websites are www.lifeloc.com and www.lifeguardbreathtester.com.

The areas in which we do business are highly competitive and include both foreign and domestic competitors.  Our major competitors are larger and have substantially greater resources than we do. Furthermore, other domestic or foreign companies, some with greater financial resources than we have, may seek to produce products or services that compete with ours.

We believe that competition for sales of alcohol testing products is based on product performance, service, delivery and price.

We believe that our future success depends to a large degree on our ability to develop new alcohol testing products and services to enhance the performance characteristics and methods of manufacture of existing products.  Accordingly, we expect to continue to invest resources in research and development, to the extent funds are available.

Outlook

Installed Base of Breathalyzers.  We believe the installed base of our breathalyzers will increase as the inherent risks associated with drinking while driving, and of working in safety sensitive jobs, become more widely acknowledged and as our network of direct and independent sales representatives grows.  We believe that increased marketing efforts, the introduction of new products and the expansion of our network of sales representatives, may provide the basis for increased sales and continuing profitable operations.  However, these measures, or any others that we may adopt, may not result in either increased sales or continuing profitable operations.

Possibility of Operating Losses.  Over the past several years we have operated profitably; however, prior to that we incurred losses.  As of September 30, 2011, we have an accumulated deficit of $1,149,129.  There is no assurance that we will not incur losses in any given quarter or year in the future.

Sales Growth.  We expect to increase sales in the U.S. and worldwide as our network of direct and independent sales representatives grows, becomes more proficient and expands the number of new accounts.  We have recently begun to sell certain ignition interlock components and breath alcohol testing kiosks.  Orders for these products are on an intermittent purchase order basis and there is no assurance that they will continue at any given rate, or that orders will repeat.

Sales and Marketing Expenses.  We continue our efforts to expand domestic and international distribution capability, and we believe that sales and marketing expenses will need to be maintained at a healthy level in order to do so.  Sales and marketing expenses are expected to increase as we increase our direct sales representatives and marketing efforts.

Research and Development Expenses.  Research and development expenses are expected to increase to support refinements to our products, and the development of additional new products.

Results of Operations

For the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Net sales. Our sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 were $1,923,668, an increase of 5% from $1,834,903 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  This increase is attributable to the improving economic environment, as many customers were faced with constrained budgets in the same quarter a year ago.  We also benefited from a high customer retention rate and a recurring sales stream from the purchases of supplies, training, and replacement instruments to existing accounts.

Gross profit.  Gross profit for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $957,103 represented an increase of 8% from gross profit of $885,884 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margins) increased from 48% to 50% as a result of a higher sales volume in the current quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses were $125,763 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of 4% over the $120,969 in the same quarter a year ago.  This increase resulted from compensation increases.

Sales and marketing expenses.   Sales and marketing expenses of $263,875 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 represented an increase of 3% from sales and marketing expenses of $255,169 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  This increase resulted from additional compensation as a result of sales volume increases.

General and administrative expenses.   General and administrative expenses were $241,283 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, which represented an increase of 1% over the $238,751 spent in the same quarter a year earlier.  This increase results from minor fluctuations in several normal recurring expenses.

Net income.   Net income was $183,381 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compared to net income of $144,703 for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.  This increase of 27% was the result of increased sales, offset in part by an increase in the loss on currency exchange which increased by $1,688 and offset by an increased provision for federal and state income taxes of $17,888.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Net sales. Our sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2011were $6,140,338, an increase of 30% from $4,716,802 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase is attributable to the improving economic environment, as many customers were faced with constrained budgets in the same period a year ago.  In addition, a new order that may not repeat in future periods for $650,000, was shipped to an international customer.  We also benefited from a high customer retention rate and a recurring sales stream from the purchase of supplies, training and replacement instruments to existing accounts.

Gross profit.  Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 of $3,007,826 represented an increase of 30% from gross profit of $2,319,045 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Gross profit as a percentage of sales (gross margins) remained at 49%.

Research and development expenses.  Research and development expenses were $343,515 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, representing an increase of 24% over the $277,110 in the same nine month period a year ago.  This increase resulted primarily from compensation and headcount increases.

Sales and marketing expenses.   Sales and marketing expenses of $772,753 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 represented an increase of 12% from sales and marketing expenses of $689,604 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase resulted from additional compensation as a result of additional sales volume increases.

General and administrative expenses.   General and administrative expenses were $782,645 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which represented an increase of 14% over the $686,288 spent in the same nine month period a year earlier.  This increase results from increased compensation resulting from the bonus plan contribution which is a function of increased income, as well as a $50,000 provision for bad debt.

Net income.   Net income was $672,617 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to net income of $367,625 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  This increase of 83% was the result of increased sales, offset in part by an increase in the loss on currency exchange which increased by $26,123 and offset by an increased provision for federal and state income taxes of $115,538.

Trends and Uncertainties That May Affect Future Results

Although revenues in 2011 are up compared to revenues in 2010, we received several orders from international customers that may not repeat in future periods.  We expect our quarter-to-quarter revenue fluctuations to continue, due to the unpredictable timing of large orders from customers and the size of those orders in relation to total revenues.  Going forward, we intend to focus our development efforts on products we believe offer the best prospects to increase our intermediate and near-term revenues.

Our 2011 operating plan is focused on growing sales, increasing gross profits, increasing research and development costs as appropriate while increasing profits and positive cash flows.  We cannot predict with certainty the expected sales, gross profit, net income or loss and usage of cash and cash equivalents for 2011.  However, we believe that cash resources and borrowing capacity will be sufficient to fund our operations for the next twelve months under our current operating plan.  If we are unable to manage the business operations in line with our budget expectations, it could have a material adverse effect on business viability, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Further, if we are not successful in sustaining profitability and remaining at least cash flow break-even, additional capital may be required to maintain ongoing operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We compete in a highly technical, very competitive and, in most cases, price driven alcohol testing marketplace, where products can take years to develop and introduce to distributors and end users.  Furthermore, manufacturing, marketing and distribution activities are regulated by the FDA, the DOT, and other regulatory bodies that, while intended to enhance the ultimate quality and functionality of products produced, can contribute to the cost and time needed to maintain existing products and develop and introduce new products.

We have traditionally funded working capital needs through product sales and close management of working capital components of our business.  Historically, we have also received cash from private offerings of our common stock, warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, and notes, although we have not engaged in any such capital-raising transactions in the past five years. In our earlier years, we incurred quarter to quarter operating losses to develop current product applications, utilizing a number of proprietary and patent-pending technologies.  Although we have been profitable during the last several years, we expect that operating losses could well occur in the future.  Should that situation arise, we may not be able to obtain working capital funds necessary in the time frame needed and at satisfactory terms or at all.

On May 11, 2004, we entered into a credit facility agreement with Citywide Bank, which was renewed for one year on May 11, 2011.  The terms of the credit facility include a line of credit for $150,000 for one year at an interest rate calculated at prime rate plus 1%.  Our borrowing under the credit facility is limited by our eligible receivables and inventory at the time of borrowing.  At September 30, 2011 and 2010, we had not borrowed any amounts from the credit facility.  The credit facility requires us to meet certain financial covenants. At September 30, 2011 and at September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with the financial covenants.

As of September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents were $1,252,199, trade accounts receivable were $941,136 and current liabilities were $667,643 resulting in a net liquid asset amount of $1,525,692.  We believe that the introduction of several new products during the last several years, along with new and on-going customer relationships, will continue to generate sufficient revenues, which are required in order for us to maintain profitability.  If these revenues are not achieved on a timely basis, we will be required to implement cost reduction measures, as necessary.

We made a loan of $62,500 to Tipping Point, Inc. (TPI), an early stage company during Q2.  Although the loan was paid down by $10,000 in Q3, we do not expect to realize any significant sales to TPI in the near term.  We have provided a reserve against the loan of $50,000, leaving a net amount of  $2,500, which is included in our balance sheet at September 30, 2011.  Two of our directors also serve as directors of TPI.  This note has a provision entitling us to convert it into stock of Tipping Point, Inc.  If converted, we would become a 20% equity holder.

We generally provide a standard one-year warranty on materials and workmanship to our customers.  We provide for estimated warranty costs at the time product revenue is recognized.  Warranty costs are included as a component of cost of goods sold in the accompanying statements of operations.  For the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and for the quarter ended September 30, 2010, warranty costs were not deemed significant.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, sales returns, warranty, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be 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 under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our financial statements.
 
We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of our customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances would be required, which would increase our expenses during the periods in which any such allowances were made. The amount recorded as a provision for bad debts in each period is based upon our assessment of the likelihood that we will be paid on our outstanding receivables, based on customer-specific as well as general considerations. To the extent that our estimates prove to be too high, and we ultimately collect a receivable previously determined to be impaired, we may record a reversal of the provision in the period of such determination.
 
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time sales are recognized. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of our component suppliers, we have experienced some costs related to warranties. The warranty accrual is based on historical experience and is adjusted based on current experience. Should actual warranty experience differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
 
We reduce inventory for estimated obsolete or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based on assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required. Any write-downs of inventory would reduce our reported net income during the period in which such write-downs were applied. To the extent that our estimates prove to be too high, and we ultimately utilize or sell inventory previously determined to be impaired, we may record a reversal of the provision in the period of such determination.
 
We recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities for the expected future income tax consequences, based on enacted tax laws, of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are then reduced, if deemed necessary, by a valuation allowance for the amount of any tax benefits which, more likely than not based on current circumstances, are not expected to be realized. Should we maintain sufficient, sustained income in the future, we may conclude that all or some of the valuation allowance should be reversed.
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, with depreciation computed over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to five years. We use the double declining method of depreciation for property and equipment.   Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the remaining lease term or the estimated useful life of the asset. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred and major additions, replacements and improvements are capitalized.
 
We amortize our patent costs over their estimated useful lives, which is typically the remaining statutory life. From time to time, we may be required to adjust these useful lives of our patents based on advances in technology, competitor actions, and the like. We review the recorded amounts of patents at each period end to determine if their carrying amount is still recoverable based on our expectations regarding sales of related products. Such an assessment, in the future, may result in a conclusion that the assets are impaired, with a corresponding charge against earnings.
 
We recognize revenue from product when title has passed to the customer, provided that we have evidence of a customer arrangement and can conclude that collection is probable. We recognize revenue from sales to stocking distributors when there is no right of return, other than for normal warranty claims.
