Item 1.         Business.
 
Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc. is a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and markets approximately 68 Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") cleared proprietary medical diagnostic test kits and components.  There are two different product lines, the Virgo® line and the Analyst® line.  The Virgo® product line consist of various diagnostic test kits that are used to aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune and infectious diseases, using ELISA, Immunoflourescence, and hemagglutination technology. The Analyst® product line is an FDA-cleared Benchtop Clinical Chemistry Analyzer System, including consumables that are used to measure important constituents in human and animal blood. The Company was incorporated in Delaware in 1985 and became a public company in 1993.  Hemagen’s principal offices are located at 9033 Red Branch Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045 and the telephone number is (443) 367-5500.  Hemagen maintains a website at www.hemagen.com.  Investors can obtain copies of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from our web site free of charge as well as from the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.
 
In September 1998, the Company acquired the Analystâ Benchtop Clinical Chemistry System, which was originally designed by Dupont, from Dade Behring, Inc.   The Analyst® is a proprietary bench top clinical chemistry instrument and reagent system.  The Analyst® instrument is used to test general chemistry profiles for both the human and veterinary markets using a proprietary consumable rotor that is manufactured by Hemagen at its Columbia, Maryland facility.  The Analyst® is cleared by the FDA for marketing in the United States to physician office laboratories.  In December 2002, Hemagen also acquired another veterinary chemistry analyzer system, the Endocheck.  Today, Hemagen estimates that its customer base for the Analyst® is approximately 90% veterinary practices and 10% physician office laboratory practices.
 
In 1995, Hemagen completed the acquisition of a comprehensive line of diagnostic test kits utilizing immunofluorescence technology (“IFA products”) from Schiaparelli Biosystems, Inc.  The IFA products and Hemagen’s comprehensive line of proprietary diagnostic test kits based on enzyme-linked immunosorbence assay technologies (“ELISA” or “EIA”) and hemagglutination technology (“HA”) form the Virgoâ product line.  These products are used to test for autoimmune and infectious diseases and are manufactured for manual use or for use on automated instrument platforms.
 
The Virgo® product-line is marketed directly to reference laboratories, hospitals, and universities in the United States, among others and internationally.  There are over 30 distributors that market the Virgoâ product line.  Hemagen also markets the Virgoâ product line in South America through its wholly-owned subsidiary Hemagen Diagnosticos Comercio, Importacao Exportacao, Ltd. (HDC), a Brazilian limited liability company.
 
Recent Developments
 
During fiscal 2011 management continued to work toward achieving its goal of increasing shareholder value and achieving sustained profitability.  Some of the important steps taken toward achieving those goals were as follows:
 
·  
Hemagen has engaged four PhD level personnel to improve and bolster its manufacturing and product development capabilities.
 
·  
The Company looked for opportunities to consolidate operations into more efficient space, and continues to seek out and implement cost reductions.
 
·  
Hemagen completed the improvements to its autoimmune Elisa line and product offering.
 
·  
The Company is working on bringing various processes in house that were previously outsourced.
 
·  
Hemagen is evaluating several new technology renovations that it believes will be implemented in 2012.

Technology
 
Analyst Instrument System
 
The Analyst® is a bench-top centrifugal clinical chemistry analyzer.  The Analyst® utilizes a consumable rotor that contains dry prepackaged reagents. The Analyst® spins the rotor, mixing the patient sample with the dry reagents, producing a result in approximately ten minutes. Hemagen currently markets four types of rotors providing a variety of clinical chemistry tests, which are 510(k) cleared by the FDA for the human medical market and two types of rotors that are exclusively sold for the veterinary market. The Analyst® instrument has been designated by the Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendments (CLIA) as a moderately complex system, and is therefore suitable for both the physician and veterinary office laboratories. Hemagen’s blood chemistry and Analyst® system assays are used to aid in the monitoring and measurement of health profiles, such as cholesterol, blood urea nitrogen, triglycerides, glucose and uric acid.
 
In addition, Hemagen has entered into agreements to distribute a hematology analyzer and an electrolyte and blood gas analyzer to complement the Analyst®.
 
Autoimmune and Infectious Disease Assays
 
Detection of the presence and concentration of certain antibodies in human blood can assist physicians in the diagnosis of certain diseases.  Hemagen's assays are in vitro (outside of a patient's body) diagnostic tests that are used to measure specific substances, antibodies, in blood or other body fluids.  Our assays recognize specific antibodies that bind to our assay platforms in the proper environment, making it detectable either by the naked eye, or with the aid of a laboratory technique, which amplifies the reaction so that it is rendered visible.  Hemagen's hemagglutination, ELISA and immunofluorescence assays are three examples of such techniques.
 
Immunofluorescence
 
Hemagen's immunofluorescence tests are manufactured using several procedures with the most common being mammalian cells grown on microscope slides treated with disease-producing organisms (viral or bacterial).  Serum from a patient is placed in contact with the infected cells on the slides.  If a patient has antibodies to the organism causing the disease, the antibodies will bind to the organism.  A chemical reagent is added to the slide that binds to the organism and the antibody, if present and detectable.  When the slide is illuminated with light at a specific wavelength in a fluorescent microscope, the chemically-treated cells will appear with a specific fluorescent pattern, indicating a positive test result.  If the patient does not have detectable quantities of the appropriate antibody, no fluorescence will appear producing a negative test result.
 
Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assays
 
ELISA or EIA tests employ small plastic wells coated with particular antigens. The test process involves introducing the patient's serum into the well to allow a reaction to occur.  If the antibody being tested for is present, it will bind to the antigens on the inner surface of the well.  After the wells are rinsed, the specifically bound antibody will remain while any non-specific antibodies will be washed away.  To detect the quantity of the specific antibody, other compounds (conjugate, substrate) are added which will cause a color change in the liquid, the intensity of which is proportionate to the quantity of the specific antibody found.  If no color is noted, this indicates that the patient's serum did not contain detectable quantities of the specific antibody.
 
Hemagen has developed an application for its ELISA technology to detect cardiovascular and inflammatory risk factors (apolipoproteins) and inflammatory signals (acute phase reactants), the latter of which are present in a patient's blood prior to the clinical manifestation of infection or inflammation.  If successful, these technologies could lead to earlier detection and prevention of cardiovascular disease, the imminent rejection of transplanted organs or the onset of infections. Such earlier detection could enable physicians to better plan appropriate treatment of patients with these conditions.  Hemagen currently markets two test kits to detect inflammatory signals.
 
Hemagglutination
 
Hemagglutination is the agglutination or "clumping" of red blood cells (RBCs).  Many substances, including certain antibodies, when placed in contact with RBCs, will cause agglutination.  Under the appropriate conditions, human RBCs may be modified or sensitized by binding specific foreign antigens to their surface.

These sensitized RBCs will bind to the specific antibody and this will cause agglutination of these cells. The presence of certain antibodies in an individual’s serum (blood from which clotted RBCs have been removed) can indicate certain diseases. By sensitizing RBCs with an antigen that specifically reacts with a particular antibody, the simple visible observation of the agglutination reaction will indicate the presence of the disease-produced antibody.  The use of RBCs instead of other particles can allow for simple visual observation of the agglutination reaction in the proper environment, and reduces the non-specific reactions seen in artificial systems such as those that utilize latex particles.
 
To perform Hemagen's hemagglutination test, a technician combines Hemagen's sensitized RBCs with a patient's serum in a small well with a V-shaped bottom according to directions included with Hemagen's test kits.  If no agglutination takes place, the RBCs will settle to the bottom of the well, resulting in a clearly visible red dot which indicates that the test is negative.  In contrast, if the particular antibody is present in the patient's blood, the RBCs will agglutinate, which prevents the RBCs from settling to the bottom of the well.  Instead of the small red dot, the substance will appear a diffuse red, which indicates a positive reaction.
 
Current Products
 
Analystâ System Products
 
Hemagen currently markets four FDA 510(k) cleared rotor types for use on the Analyst® clinical chemistry analyzer, two general chemistry rotors, a glucose test and a lipid screen test. In addition, Hemagen sells four rotors specifically designed for the veterinary marketplace: VET-16, VetFlex7, VetFlex and T4 rotors.
 
Immunofluorescence or “IFA” Products
 
Hemagen's immunofluorescence products consist primarily of diagnostic assays for infectious diseases and several products for autoimmune diseases.  Immunofluorescence kits are used as primary or confirmatory tests in many large clinical laboratories worldwide.  Hemagen currently sells 15 kits in the immunofluorescence format.
 
Hemagen's immunofluorescence products are used to aid in the diagnosis of the following diseases:
 
Cytomegalovirus
Herpes simplex
SLE (Lupus)
German Measles
Connective Tissue Diseases
Chicken Pox
Primary Bilary Cirrhosis
Epstein-Barr virus (Mononucleosis)
Toxoplasmosis
Chlamydia
Syphilis
Measles
RSV
Mumps
 
Autoimmune Diseases
 
ELISA Assays
 
Hemagen develops, manufactures and markets ELISA test kits for the detection of disease.  Along with the immunofluorescence and hemagglutination assays, Hemagen’s ELISA kits test for specific antibodies.  The quantitative or semi-quantitative test results give useful information about the stage and prevalence of a particular disease.  ELISA tests are widely used by large laboratories, due to their ready adaptability to automation and high volume testing.  Hemagen’s autoimmune and infectious disease ELISA kits are used in the diagnosis of the following diseases:
 
Systemic Lupus Erythematous (Lupus)
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Scleroderma
Sjögren's Syndrome
Glomerulonephritis
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Polymyositis
Dermatomyositis
Primary Biliary Cirrhosis
Wegener’s Granulomatosis
Systemic Vasculitides
Anti-Phospholipid Syndrome
Venous and Arterial Thromboses
Thrombocytopenia
Recurrent Abortion
Toxoplasmosis
Rubella (German Measles)
Cytomegalovirus Infections
Herpes simplex 1 & 2 Infections
Chagas Disease
Varicella Zoster Infections (Chicken Pox & Shingles)

Hemagen has also developed specialized assays for quantitative analysis of the acute phase markers, specifically, C-Reactive Protein and Serum Amyloid A.  These are believed to be important in the detection and prediction of inflammatory events associated with several diseases, including Systemic Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Myocardial Infarction.
 
Hemagen also offers ELISA & Hemagglutination screening assays, capable of verifying the presence of as many as six analytes in a single test.  This is a useful tool in a patient’s initial assessment.  For example, if an individual’s autoimmune screen 6 test is positive, individual marker kits are then used to differentially diagnose the particular rheumatoid disease.  To better serve customers’ needs, most of the reagents for these kits are offered in both lyophilized and liquid-stable formats.
 
Hemagglutination Assays
 
Hemagen's hemagglutination assays are based on Hemagen's proprietary technique to lyophilize, or "freeze dry," the RBCs which form the central component of a hemagglutination assay.  Hemagen's proprietary lyophilization technique for the preservation of RBCs permits the production of standardized, easy-to-use and accurate hemagglutination tests with an extended shelf-life, most of which were previously unavailable using hemagglutination assays.  The shelf-life of the lyophilized RBCs before reconstitution may be up to 48 months. A technician reconstitutes the powdered cells in a water-based solution prior to introducing to the patient's serum.
 
Each hemagglutination test also requires a specific formula to sensitize the RBCs prior to lyophilization such that they will react to a specific antibody.  For each of its tests, Hemagen uses a proprietary formula to combine antigens and other reagents with RBCs in a manner that allows for standard, sensitive and specific agglutination reactions.  Results from Hemagen's test kits are generally available within two hours.  Hemagen's hemagglutination test kits aid in the diagnosis of the following diseases:
 
SLE (Lupus)
Dermatomyositis
Mixed Connective Tissue Disease
Polymyositis
Sjögren's Syndrome
Rheumatoid Arthritis
Scleroderma (Systemic Sclerosis)
Chagas' Disease

Distribution and Marketing
 
General
 
In the United States, Hemagen sells its products directly and through distributors to clinical laboratories, hospitals, veterinary offices and research organizations, among other places.  Internationally, Hemagen sells its products primarily through distributors and its wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil.  Hemagen grants both exclusive and non-exclusive distributorships, which generally cover limited geographic areas and specific test kits.  Hemagen has relationships with over 30 distributors in various countries worldwide.
 
Hemagen markets its Virgo® product line in South America through its wholly owned subsidiary, Hemagen Diagnosticos Comerico, Importacao e Exportacao, Ltd. (“HDC”) in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  Hemagen also engages numerous distributors throughout South America. HDC maintains a fully staffed sales, marketing and distribution force, warehouse and administrative office.  In fiscal years 2011 and 2010, Hemagen derived product sales through HDC of approximately $2,390,000 and $2,593,000 respectively, which represents 46% and 50% of Hemagen’s total sales, respectively.
 
Products Under Development
 
Hemagen spent approximately $5,000 and $25,000 on research and development for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2011, and 2010, respectively.
 
The Company’s research and development efforts are currently focused on:
 
·  
Activities related to upgrades to the Analyst® instrument and product offering such as evaluating and developing complimentary products for Hemagen’s Analyst® product line to distribute to the veterinary market and alternative tests utilizing the Analysts’® rotor technology;
 

 
7

 
 
 
·  
Developing and enhancing IFA kits.
 
Manufacturing and Sources of Supply
 
Hemagen manufactures its ELISA test kits, hemagglutination test kits, immunofluorescence test kits and Analyst® and Endochek consumables at its Columbia, Maryland facility. The Analyst® and the Endochek instruments are manufactured by third parties for Hemagen.  Hemagen purchases many of the antigens and other reagents used in its kits from outside vendors.  Certain of these antigens and reagents are from single suppliers.  The Company attempts to mitigate such risk from these single suppliers by maintaining an adequate supply of inventory and/or backup suppliers.  If the products purchased from these single sources become unavailable there can be no assurances that the Company will be able to substitute a new supplier in a timely manner and thus this could have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition, and results of operations.  Certain reagents used in Hemagen's test kits are manufactured at Hemagen's facilities.  Hemagen uses lyophilization equipment to preserve sensitized red blood cells for its hemagglutination test kits.  All of Hemagen's products are manufactured under the Quality System Regulation as defined by the FDA.
 
Most components used in Hemagen’s products are available from multiple sources.  Certain raw materials that are used in the Analyst® rotors are manufactured for the Company pursuant to manufacturing agreements with other manufacturing companies that have been vendors for the Company for many years. The Company continues to consider other potential vendors, including itself, or alternative vendors for manufacturing although there can be no assurances that we will be able to develop any new suppliers for these raw materials used in the Analyst® product line.
 
Government Regulation
 
Hemagen's manufacturing, distribution and marketing of diagnostic test kits is subject to a number of both domestic and international regulatory controls.  In the United States, Hemagen’s production and marketing activities are subject to regulation by the U.S Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as amended.
 
These regulations require that Hemagen must formally notify the FDA of its intentions to market in vitro diagnostic devices through a regulatory submission process, either the 510(k) process or the Pre-market Approval (PMA) process.  When a 510(k) process is used, Hemagen is required to demonstrate that the product is “substantially equivalent” to another product in commercial distribution.   Under the 510(k) process, Hemagen cannot proceed with sales of its diagnostic products in the United States until it receives clearance from the FDA in the form of a substantial equivalency letter.  Currently, the majority of products that are reviewed by the 510(k) process are cleared within 90 days.  In certain cases, specifically for Class III devices, Hemagen must follow the PMA process which is lengthier and more burdensome.
 
Hemagen is registered with the FDA as a device manufacturer and to disclose its devices.  Accordingly, Hemagen is subject to inspection on a routine basis for compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulations.  These regulations require that Hemagen manufacture its products and maintain its documents in a prescribed manner with respect to design, manufacturing, testing, process control and distribution activities.  In addition, Hemagen is required to comply with various FDA requirements for labeling, pursuant to the applicable regulations.  The most recent inspections by the FDA were in October 2010 for the Columbia, MD facility.  The results of those inspections can be reviewed at www.fda.gov., the content of which is not incorporated herein.  Finally, the FDA prohibits an approved device from being marketed for unapproved applications.   Hemagen believes it is in compliance with all such regulations.
 
In January 2004, the Company received CE certification thereby allowing the Company to sell certain of its registered products in the European Community.
 
In October 2009, the Company received ISO 13485 certification in order to market additional products in the European Community and Canada. In October 2010 Hemagen was re-audited for the ISO and was recertified for 2011.

Competition
 
The clinical diagnostic industry is highly competitive.  There are many companies, both public and private, engaged in diagnostics-related sales, including a number of well-known pharmaceutical and chemical companies.  Competition is based primarily on product reliability, customer service and price.  Many of these companies have substantially greater capital resources and marketing and business organizations that are substantially greater in size than Hemagen.  Many of these companies have also been working on immunodiagnostic reagents and products, including some products believed to be similar to those currently marketed or under development by Hemagen.  Hemagen believes that its primary competitors in the market include Abaxis Inc., Bion, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Corgenix Medical Corporation, Diamedix Corporation, Heska Corporation, IDEXX Laboratories, Inc., Immco Diagnostics, INOVA Diagnostics, Inc., and Trinity Biotech PLC, among others.  Hemagen expects competition within this industry to intensify.
 
Product Liability
 
The testing, marketing and sale of clinical diagnostic products entail an inherent risk of allegations of product liability, and there can be no assurance that product liability claims will not be asserted against Hemagen. Hemagen may incur product liability due to product failure or improper use of products by the user.  Inaccurate detection may result in the failure to administer necessary therapeutic drugs or administration of unnecessary and potentially toxic drugs.  Even with proper use of a product, there may be specific instances in which the results obtained from Hemagen's test kits could lead a physician to predict the inappropriate therapy for a particular patient.  Hemagen maintains product liability insurance in the amount of up to $2,000,000 per incident and in the aggregate which, based on Hemagen's experience and industry practice, Hemagen believes to be adequate for its present operations.  No assurance can be given that Hemagen's insurance coverage is sufficient to fully insure against claims which may be made against Hemagen.
 
Patents and Proprietary Rights
 
Hemagen protects its technology primarily as trade secrets rather than relying on patents, either because patent protection is not possible or, in management's opinion, would be less effective than maintaining secrecy.  In addition, Hemagen relies upon confidentiality agreements with its employees.  To the extent that it relies on confidentiality agreements and trade secret protection, there can be no assurance that Hemagen's efforts to maintain secrecy will be successful or that third parties will not be able to develop the technology independently.  In the future, Hemagen may apply for patent protection for certain of its technologies if management believes such protection would be beneficial to Hemagen.  The protection afforded by patents depends upon a variety of factors which may severely limit the value of the patent protection, particularly in foreign countries, and no assurance can be given that patents, if granted, will provide meaningful protection for Hemagen's technology.
 
Employees
 
As of September 30, 2011, Hemagen had twenty-eight full-time employees and three employees working on a contractual basis. Thirteen employees are in sales, marketing, general and administrative activities and eighteen (including contractual personnel) are involved in production activities.
 
None of Hemagen’s employees are represented by a labor organization and Hemagen is not a party to any collective bargaining agreement. Hemagen has never experienced any strike or work stoppage and considers its relationship with its employees to be good.  However, Hemagen can give no assurances that the Company will not experience such strikes or work stoppages in the future, either of which could have a material effect on the Company's results of operations.

Overview
 
Revenues for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 were $5,141,227 compared to revenues for fiscal 2010 of $5,220,170; gross margin for fiscal 2011 was $1,960,797 compared to gross margin for fiscal 2010 of $2,356,205; and the net loss for fiscal 2011 was $880,476 compared to the net loss for fiscal 2010 of $156,314. The comprehensive loss for fiscal 2011 was $918,977 compared to comprehensive loss of $107,428 for fiscal 2010.
 
Historically, Hemagen has concentrated its efforts on developing, manufacturing and marketing medical diagnostic test kits used to aid in the diagnosis of certain diseases and for assessing general health conditions.  Hemagen has approximately 60 different test kits available that are 510(K) cleared for sale in the United States by the FDA, and also sells other products that are not required to be FDA cleared.
 
Management has been working to take the appropriate actions to improve the management and operations of the Company while striving to achieve sustained profitability.  There can be no assurance that any of the previously discussed actions management is taking will achieve the desired results. However, management believes that as a direct result of these actions, cash flow from operations, cash on hand at September 30, 2011 and its line of credit availability will be sufficient to finance its operations for fiscal 2012.  See the “Recent Developments” section on page 3.
 
At September 30, 2011, Hemagen had $213,611 of unrestricted cash, working capital of $923,610 and a current ratio of 1.61 to 1.0.

Hemagen currently has a revolving senior secured line of credit with TiFunding, a related party, for the purpose of financing working capital needs as required. The line of credit currently provides for borrowings up to $1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 9%. As of December 5, 2011, the outstanding balance on the line was $719,426. The Company’s ability to borrow on the line is based on a borrowing base calculation dependent on certain receivables and inventory. The line of credit’s maturity has been extended until October 1, 2012 and is renewable annually.  The Company intends to renew the line when it expires.  However, Hemagen can give no assurances that it will have sufficient cash to repay the line of credit if it is not renewed or to finance its operations.

Results of Operations
 
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2011 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2010
 
For fiscal 2011, revenues decreased by approximately $79,000 (2%) to approximately $5,141,000 from approximately $5,220,000 for fiscal 2010.  Approximately $38,000 of this decrease was attributed to lower sales in the Analyst® division during fiscal 2011 and a decrease in sales in the Virgo line of approximately $54,000.
 
Sales of the Analyst® Clinical Chemistry Analyzer product line were approximately $38,000 lower in fiscal 2011 as compared to fiscal 2010. Consumable sales increased by approximately $36,000 during the current fiscal year but this increase was offset by a decrease in equipment sales of approximately $74,000 during the current year.
 
Revenues from the autoimmune and infectious disease line decreased overall by approximately $54,000 during the current year to $3,497,000 in fiscal 2011 from $3,551,000 in fiscal 2010. This overall decrease was due to lower sales overall in the autoimmune and infections disease line.  Sales in the local Brazilian currency were approximately R$160,000 less than that of the prior year but the stabilization of the Brazilian Real during the year resulted in only a decrease of approximately $29,000 dollars. The average exchange rates for the 12 month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 1.65 and 1.78, respectively.  Non-Brazil sales decreased by approximately $25,000 over the prior year.
 
Cost of product sales increased approximately $316,000 (11%) to approximately $3,180,000 in fiscal 2011 from approximately $2,864,000 in fiscal 2010.  Gross margin decreased to 38% in fiscal 2011 as compared to a 45% gross margin in fiscal 2010.  This decrease in gross margin is predominately attributable to an increase in raw material costs from one supplier who increased its prices for certain orders during the current year, as well as increases in outside consulting and payroll related expenses. The Company recently increased its prices on certain items to cover the increase in raw material costs and expects its margins to improve going forward.
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $334,000 during fiscal 2011 to approximately $2,429,000 from approximately $2,095,000 in fiscal 2010. The Brazil operational expenses accounted for approximately $239,000 of this overall increase which included increases in travel, facility, audit and outside consulting service expenses as compared to the prior year expenses. The Columbia Maryland operations contributed to the remaining $79,000 of increased expense, which consisted mainly of increased expenses related to travel, facility and legal expenses.
 
Research and development expenses for fiscal 2011 decreased approximately $20,000 (80%) to approximately $5,000 from $25,000, in the previous year. The decrease is the result of the reduction in headcount.
 
For fiscal 2011, Hemagen had a net operating loss of approximately $473,000 as compared to $236,000 of operating income in the previous fiscal year.  This decrease of approximately $709,000 in operating income is the result of the combination of the decline in gross margins and the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses that occurred during fiscal 2011.
 
Net interest expense for fiscal year 2011 increased by approximately $74,000 to $406,000 in 2011 from $332,000 in the prior year. During the current fiscal year there was approximately $32,000 of increased interest expense related to the issuance of warrants that occurred when the line of credit was transferred in February 2011. There was also an increase of approximately $22,000 of interest expense related to the line of credit which was the result of carrying a higher outstanding balance during the year in conjunction with an increase in the annual rate. The annual rate changed from 5.5% to 9% in February of 2011 when the line was transferred.  A decrease in interest income of approximately $17,000 was the result of the declining balance on the note receivable that also contributed to the overall change.
 

 
12

 

 
In fiscal year 2011, the Company had approximately $4,000 of income tax expense as compared to $90,000 in fiscal year 2010.  All of the income tax expense is related to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary and represents the net tax expense after adjusting the benefit of loss carry-forwards utilized according to Brazilian tax law.
 
Net loss for fiscal year 2011 increased by approximately $725,000 to $881,000 as compared to a net loss of approximately $156,000 in the previous fiscal year. This increase in net loss is attributable to lower gross margins, increases in overall administrative expenses, and an overall increase in interest expense.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At September 30, 2011, Hemagen had $213,611 of unrestricted cash, working capital of $923,610 and a current ratio of 1.61 to 1.0. At September 30, 2010, Hemagen had $151,743 of unrestricted cash, working capital of $1,601,979 and a current ratio of 2.37 to 1.0.
 
Hemagen currently has a revolving senior secured line of credit with TiFunding for the purpose of financing working capital needs as required. The line of credit provides for borrowings up to $1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 9%. As of September 30, 2011 and December 5, 2011, the outstanding balance on the line was $669,413 and $719,426, respectively. The Company’s ability to borrow on the line is based on a borrowing base calculation dependent on certain receivables and inventory. The line of credit’s maturity has been extended to October 1, 2012, and is renewable annually. The Company intends to renew the line when it expires.
 
During fiscal 2011, Hemagen had capital expenditures of approximately $56,000, which included some leasehold improvements and upgrades to office furniture and equipment.
 
Cash used by operating activities was approximately $337,000; cash provided by investing activities was approximately $156,000 and cash provided by financing activities was approximately $271,000. The effect of exchange rates on cash in fiscal year 2011 resulted in a negative cash adjustment of approximately $29,000.
 
Hemagen believes that cash flow from operations and cash on hand at September 30, 2011 will be sufficient to finance its operations for fiscal 2012.  However, Hemagen can give no assurances that it will have sufficient cash to repay the line of credit if it is not renewed or finance its operations.
 
Fiscal 2011 compared to Fiscal 2010
 
Hemagen used approximately $337,000 of cash in its operating activities during fiscal 2011 compared to $183,000 of cash provided from its operating activities in fiscal 2010. The cash provided from the change in operating assets and liabilities was approximately $270,000 during fiscal 2011 compared to $197,000 of cash used during fiscal 2010. The largest portion of the change in operating assets and liabilities came from the decrease in prepaid expenses as compared to the prior year along with decreased accounts receivable and increased payables all which provided net cash for operating activities during the current year
 
Cash provided by investing activities totaled approximately $156,000 in fiscal 2011, as compared to approximately $177,000 provided in fiscal 2010. During fiscal 2011 there was a reduction in the outlay of cash for purchases of property and equipment of approximately $18,000, offset by less cash provided by the sale of Company assets of approximately $38,000.
 
Cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $271,000 in fiscal 2011 as compared to $31,000 used in financing activities in fiscal 2010.  The cash utilized during the current year went toward funding the operations of the Company as compared to the cash used during fiscal 2010 which went toward paying down the Company’s line of credit and paying on the notes with Itau bank.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and judgments with respect to the selection and application of accounting policies that affect the reporting of amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 

 
13

 

 
We believe the following critical accounting policies and estimates have the greatest impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company manufactures and markets a broad offering of in vitro diagnostic products and services which currently include: (1) reagents and consumables for general chemistry analyzers; (2) medical diagnostic test kits; (3) medical diagnostic instruments; and (4) maintenance services.  Reagents and consumables, in addition to medical test kits, represent the largest portion of our sales.  Revenues from reagents and consumables and test kits are recognized when the product is shipped, all contractual obligations have been satisfied and it is reasonably assured that the resulting receivable is collectible.
 
Instruments are usually sold either directly to the customer or to a third party financing entity that in turn leases it to the end customer. Instrument revenue is recognized upon shipment, when all contractual obligations have been satisfied and it is reasonably assured that the resulting receivable is collectible.
 
Revenues under product service contracts, which are generally for one year or less, are recognized ratably over the term of the contract, based on the relative fair value of the contracts.
 
Accounts Receivable
 
The majority of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from distributors (domestic and international), hospitals, universities, and physician and veterinary offices and other entities in the medical field.  Credit is extended based on evaluation of customers’ financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.  Accounts receivable are most often due within 30 days and are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Any accounts outstanding longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.  We maintain allowances for doubtful accounts based on a number of factors, including the length of time the accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are credited to the allowance for doubtful accounts.  Actual amounts collectible could vary from our estimates and affect our operating results.
 
Inventories
 
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost as determined by the first-in, first-out method (“FIFO”) or market. Market for raw materials is based on replacement costs and, for other inventory classifications, on net realizable value. We regularly review inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for deterioration, excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements for the next 12 to 18 months, depending on the product. Several factors may influence the realizability of our inventories, including technological change and new product development. These factors could result in an increase in the amount of obsolete inventory on hand. Additionally, our estimates of future product demand may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. In the future, if we determine that our inventory was overvalued, we will be required to recognize such costs in cost of goods sold at the time of such determination. Although we make every effort to ensure the accuracy of our forecasts of future product demand, any significant unanticipated changes in demand or technological developments could have a significant impact on the value of our inventory and our reported operating results.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC establishes 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. This accounting standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements. This standard also sets forth the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This accounting standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 which amended ASC 855. This amendment, which was effective upon issuance, removed the requirement for SEC registrants to disclose the date through which such registrants have evaluated subsequent events.

ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist such as if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASU 2010-28 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2011 and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance which changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  This new guidance also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs.  This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2012 will not materially expand its consolidated footnote disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance which eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity.  This new guidance requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2012 will not materially change the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

Management’s Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, William P. Hales, and the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, Catherine M. Davidson, have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2011.  Based upon this evaluation, these officers believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2011.
 
Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees within the financial and administrative functions of the Company.  As a result of the limitations of the resources and segregation of duties, Stegman and Company, the Company’s current auditor has informed the Company that these limitations represent a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.  Management will continue to evaluate this segregation of duties issue. The Company has worked over the past years and has documented these internal controls. This material weakness has not been remediated.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of internal controls that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to affect, Hemagen’s internal control over financial reporting.

William P. Hales, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company owns $884,450 face value of the senior subordinated secured convertible notes due September 30, 2014.  Refer to Note 10 for a description of the senior notes.

On December 31, 2010, the Company had a loan outstanding in the amount of $398,000 with Bay Bank, FSB.  On February 7, 2011, TiFunding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company owned by William P. Hales, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and his father, purchased the loan from Bay Bank, FSB for approximately $360,000 and agreed to provide a $1 million line of credit facility to the Company for the purpose of financing working capital needs. In connection with this credit facility, the Company issued to TiFunding warrants to purchase $1,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20.  Refer to Note 8 for a description of this line of credit.

Director Independence
 
The Board of Directors affirmatively determines the independence of each director and nominee for election as a director based on the definition of independence contained in the NASDAQ rules and the applicable regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Based on these standards, Edward T. Lutz and Dr. Alan S. Cohen, who comprise a majority of the Board of Directors, both qualify as “independent” directors.
 
 
Hemagen’s independent public accountants are Stegman and Company.  Stegman and Company has served in that capacity since fiscal year 2007.  Aggregate fees billed to Hemagen in fiscal 2011 and 2010 by its principal accountants, Stegman and Company were:

(a)
The Audit Committee believes the provision of these services is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
 
Audit Fees.  Audit services of Stegman and Company for fiscal 2011 and 2010 consisted of examination of the consolidated financial statements of the Company, quarterly reviews of the financial statements and services related to the filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
Tax Fees.  Tax fees included charges primarily related to the preparation of federal and state tax returns.
 
All Other Fees.   Fees paid to Stegman and Company for services other than as described under “Audit Fees” and “Tax Fees” for the 2011 and 2010 fiscal years.
 
All of the services described above were approved by the Audit Committee.  The Audit Committee has not adopted formal pre-approval policies, but has the sole authority to engage the Company’s outside auditing and tax preparation firms and must approve all tax consulting and auditing arrangements with the independent accounting firm prior to the performance of any services.  Approval for such services is evaluated during the Audit Committee meetings and must be documented by signature of an Audit Committee member on the engagement letter of the independent accounting firm.

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with the authorizations of management and the Directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, but not absolute assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree or compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
 
As required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2011. Management’s assessment is based on the criteria established in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In assessing the internal controls, management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees within the financial and administrative functions of the Company.  As a result of the limitations of the resources and segregation of duties, management acknowledges a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting.  As a result, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of September 30, 2011, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting were ineffective.  This material weakness has not been remediated.
 
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders' deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended.  These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.  We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit 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 consolidated financial position of Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc. and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For The Years Ending September 30, 2011 and 2010

NOTE 1 - NATURE OF BUSINESS
 
Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”), a Delaware company, is a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and markets more than 68 FDA-cleared proprietary medical diagnostic test kits.  Hemagen has two different product lines.  The Virgo® product line consists of diagnostic test kits that are used to aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune and infectious diseases, using ELISA, Immunofluorescence, and hemagglutination technology.  The Analystâ product line is an FDA-cleared benchtop clinical chemistry analyzer system, including consumables, that is used to measure important constituents in human and animal blood.  In the United States, the Company sells its products through distributors and directly to physicians, veterinarians, clinical laboratories and blood banks and on a private-label basis through multinational distributors.  Internationally, the Company sells its products primarily through distributors.  The Company was incorporated in 1985 and became a public company in 1993.

NOTE 2 – FINANCIAL CONDITION

At September 30, 2011, Hemagen had $213,611 of unrestricted cash, working capital of $923,610 and a current ratio of 1.61 to 1.0.  Hemagen currently has a revolving senior secured line of credit with TiFunding, a related party, for the purpose of financing working capital needs as required. The line of credit currently provides for borrowings up to $1,000,000 at an annual interest rate of 9%. As of December 5, 2011, the outstanding balance on the line was $719,426. Hemagen believes that cash flow from operations and cash on hand at September 30, 2011 will be sufficient to finance its operations for fiscal 2012. The Company’s ability to borrow on the line is based on a borrowing base calculation dependent on certain receivables and inventory. The line of credit’s maturity has been extended and currently expires October 1, 2012. The line is renewable annually. The Company intends to renew the line when it expires. However, Hemagen can give no assurances that it will have sufficient cash to repay the line of credit if it is not renewed or to finance its operations. Hemagen has no off-balance sheet transactions.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary Hemagen Diagnostics Commercio, Importaco & Exporataco, Ltd. ("HDC"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial position and results of operations of HDC are measured using HDC's local currency, the Brazilian Real, as the functional currency.  Revenues and expenses of HDC have been translated into U.S. dollars at average exchange rates prevailing during the year.  Assets and liabilities have been translated at the rates of exchange on the balance sheet date.  The resulting translation gain and loss adjustments are recorded directly as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

 
 
F-9

 

 
Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company may have amounts in cash accounts in excess of federally insured limits throughout the year.

Accounts Receivable

A majority of the Company’s accounts receivable are due from distributors (domestic and international), hospitals, universities, and physician and veterinary offices and other entities in the medical field.  Credit is extended based on evaluation of a customer’s financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required.  Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.  Accounts with outstanding balances for longer than the contractual payment terms are considered past due.  The Company determines its allowance by considering a number of factors, including the length of time trade accounts receivable are past due, the Company’s previous loss history, the customer’s current ability to pay its obligation to the Company, and the condition of the general economy and the industry as a whole.  The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible, and payments subsequently received on such receivables are posted against the allowance for doubtful accounts.  The balance of the allowance for doubtful accounts was $67,286 and $60,016 on September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  The Company does not accrue interest on accounts receivable past due.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost, determined on the first-in, first-out basis, or market.  Inventory reserves are established for obsolescence based on expiration dating of perishable products and excess levels of inventory on hand.  The Company had $541,158 and $738,972 of inventory reserves as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. If the review indicates that long-lived assets are not recoverable (i.e., the carrying amount is less than the future projected undiscounted cash flows), the carrying amount would be reduced to fair value and a charge to income would be recorded. Hemagen did not have any long-lived assets whose balances needed to be reduced.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at net book value.  Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from 3 to 10 years.  Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Other Assets

Other assets, net at September 30, 2011 and 2010 consists of product registration certificates that are being amortized over their 5 year life, security deposits relating to the facilities that are being leased, and the long term portion of the Note Receivable.
 
Income Taxes

The Company follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amount and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at each year-end based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income.  A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. The provision for or benefit from income taxes is allocated based upon each subsidiary’s individual operations.

 
 
F-10

 

 
Revenue Recognition

Revenues from the sale of products are recognized when 1) product is shipped, 2) all contractual obligations have been satisfied, and 3) the collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Revenues from product service contracts, which are based on their relative fair value, are recognized ratably over the term of the contract. Losses are provided for at the time that management determines that contract costs will exceed related revenues.  The portion of product service contracts not complete at the balance sheet date is included in deferred revenue.

Stock- Based Compensation

The Company applies FASB ASC 718-10, Share-Based Payment, which requires companies to measure the cost of share-based awards based on the grant-date fair value of the award using an option pricing model and to recognize that cost over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options granted and recognizes the compensation cost of share-based awards in its statement of operations using the straight-line method over the vesting period of the award, net of estimated forfeitures.

The use of the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of share-based awards requires that the Company make certain assumptions and estimates for required inputs to the model, including (i) the fair value of the Company’s common stock at each grant date, (ii) the expected volatility of the Company’s common stock value, (iii) the expected life of the share-based award, (iv) the risk-free interest rate, and (v) the dividend yield. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
 
Research and Development Costs

All costs incurred to research, design and develop products are considered research and development costs and are charged to expense as incurred.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, customer receivables, accounts payable, certain other accrued liabilities and long-term debt.  The carrying value of long-term debt approximates its fair value based on the current rate offered to the Company for debt of similar remaining maturities.  The carrying values of all other financial instruments also approximate their fair values.

Advertising Expenses

Costs of advertising, which also include promotional expenses, are expensed as incurred.  Advertising expenses for fiscal 2011 and 2010 were approximately $12,201 and $7,404, respectively.

Shipping and Handling

The cost of shipping products to customers is included in cost of goods sold.  Amounts billed to a customer in a sale transaction related to shipping and handling are classified as revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC establishes 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. This accounting standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.  This standard also sets forth the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This accounting standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 which amended ASC 855. This amendment, which was effective upon issuance, removed the requirement for SEC registrants to disclose the date through which such registrants have evaluated subsequent events.
 
 
 
F-11

 

 
ASU No. 2010-28, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) - When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts.” ASU 2010-28 modifies Step 1 of the goodwill impairment test for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts. For those reporting units, an entity is required to perform Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test if it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. In determining whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, an entity should consider whether there are any adverse qualitative factors indicating that an impairment may exist such as if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. ASU 2010-28 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2011 and did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued new guidance which changes the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements to ensure consistency between U.S. GAAP and IFRS.  This new guidance also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs.  This new guidance is to be applied prospectively. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2012 will not materially expand its consolidated footnote disclosures.

In June 2011, the FASB issued new guidance which eliminates the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity.  This new guidance requires that all non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity be presented in either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements.  This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively.  The Company anticipates that the adoption of this standard in the first quarter of 2012 will not materially change the presentation of its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 8 - LINE OF CREDIT

TiFunding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company owned by William P. Hales, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and his father, provides a senior secured line of credit facility to the Company for the purpose of financing working capital needs.  TiFunding acquired this facility on February 7, 2011 from Bay Bank, FSB for approximately $360,000, and increased the line of credit to $1,000,000 dollars.

The facility’s term maturity has been extended to October 1, 2012, is renewable annually and provides for borrowings at an annual interest rate of 9%. Maximum borrowings under the facility not to exceed $1,000,000 are based on certain receivables and inventory of the Company.  The facility is secured by a first lien on all assets of the Company.  In connection with the facility, the Company issued to TiFunding warrants to purchase $1,000,000 in shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share.  These warrants are exercisable at any time until February 7, 2016 and have certain demand registration rights. The expense related to the warrants is being amortized over the life of the warrants and is included as interest expense in the accompanying financial statements.   As of September 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on the facility was $669,413.  The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants in the facility as of the date of this report.
 
NOTE 9 – NOTE PAYABLE

Hemagen Diagnostics Commercio, Importaco & Exporataco, Ltd. ("HDC") had obtained notes used to finance the purchase of automated equipment that was placed into key customer accounts.  As of September 30, 2010 these notes were paid in full. The notes bore interest at 1.45% per month or 17.4% annual interest, and were to be repaid in 24 equal monthly installments.  These capital notes were secured by HDC receivables at the ratio of 50% receivable to loan value.

NOTE 10 – SENIOR SUBORDINATED SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

During September 2009, the Company completed an Exchange Offer of its senior subordinated secured convertible notes due on September 30, 2009. The Company offered to exchange new, modified 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2014 for the outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2009. The principal features of the Exchange Offer included $4,049,858 principal amount of Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes, due September 30, 2014, which bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, paid quarterly, convertible by holders into Common Stock at $.35 per share. The Company can require the conversion of these Modified Notes to Common Stock at any time after the Common Stock trades at or above $0.70 for fifteen consecutive trading days.

The Company has accounted for the Exchange Offer as though the exchange of the entire amount of $4,049,858 of the outstanding notes was effective as of September 30, 2009, because at September 30, 2009 all of the terms and conditions for the consummation of the exchange offer had been satisfied.

The Modified Notes are secured by a first lien on all real, tangible and intangible property except that the terms of the Modified Notes provide that they are subordinated to the following (i) a senior secured credit facility that is equal to or less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), (ii) any secured financing that is greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), provided that (A) the Company provides the Holder twenty (20) business days’ written notice of such secured financing, and (B) all of the funds raised in connection with such secured financing shall be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the Principal Amount and accrued and unpaid interest owed on the Notes, (iii) real estate financing that the Company may incur for the purchase of a corporate facility provided that the annual mortgage payments are less than the rent expense that the Company pays in the year of such purchase for its leased facilities, and (iv) secured financing not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) at any one time for the purpose of financing an acquisition by the Company of the business of another person or entity.

NOTE 11 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.01 par value per share.  The preferred stock may be issued in one or more series, the terms of which may be determined at the time of issuance by the Board of Directors and may include voting rights, preferences as to dividends and liquidation, conversion and redemption rights and sinking fund provisions. No shares of preferred stock are issued or outstanding at September 30, 2011 or 2010.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists solely of foreign currency translation adjustments totaling $20,587 of loss and $17,914 of income at September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Stock Options

On February 27, 2001, the shareholders voted to approve the 2001 Stock Option Plan.  The 2001 Stock Option Plan provides for the grant of incentive and nonqualified stock options for the purchase of an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock by employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The 2001 Stock Option Plan expired in February of 2011. No additional options will be issued under this plan.
 
On April 25, 2007, the shareholders voted to approve the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan.  Under this plan, the Board has reserved a maximum of 1,500,000 shares for issuance pursuant to stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units and stock awards.

On April 30, 2009, the shareholders voted to amend the 2007 Stock Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares authorized to be issued under the plan from 1,500,000 to 3,000,000.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the administration of both Plans.  The Compensation Committee determines the term of each option, the number of shares for which each option is granted and the rate at which each option is exercisable.

The Company recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses, $45,999 and 25,957 of stock compensation expense for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The following are the assumptions made in computing the fair value of the share-based awards:
 
 
2011
 
2010
Dividend yield
--
 
--
Expected volatility
129.73% - 137.95%
 
125.86%
Risk-free interest rate

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock.  The expected term of the options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the evaluation model. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

The Rights become exercisable only if a person or group, as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, acquires beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of the Company's outstanding common stock or announces a tender offer that would result in beneficial ownership of 10 percent or more of the Company's outstanding common stock.

William P. Hales, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is a stockholder and a debt holder of the Company, is exempt under the Agreement. The Rights, which are scheduled to Expire on April 29, 2020, are redeemable in whole at the Company's option at $0.0000001 per Right at the times and under the circumstances set forth in the Agreement.  No Rights have yet been exercised or have redeemed under the Agreement.

Employee Benefit Plans
 
The Company maintains a defined contribution retirement plan, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covering substantially all employees.  Participant contributions and employer matching contributions are made as defined in the 401(k) Plan agreement. The Company’s policy is to contribute to the ESOP plan rather than to match 401K contributions. As such, effective October 1, 2003, the Company created an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) for the benefit of its employees, which has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be a qualified retirement plan subject to section 4975(E)7 of the Code. The Employer has no obligations to contribute any amount under this plan except as so determined at its sole discretion.  Employees are eligible to participate in the ESOP after 90 days of active employment and fully vest in the benefits after five years of service.  The Company’s contributions to the ESOP were $10,000 in cash during each of the fiscal years 2011 and 2010. The compensation committee of the Board of Directors approves all contributions to the ESOP plan.  At September 30, 2011 and 2010, the ESOP owned approximately 881,281 and 792,880 shares of Hemagen common stock, respectively, that were either purchased in the open market by the ESOP, or contributed by the company to the ESOP. As of September 30, 2011 the ESOP plan had approximately $3,519 of cash available to purchase additional shares in the open market. The 881,281 shares owned by the ESOP represent approximately 6% of the shares outstanding as of September 30, 2011.
 
Directors Plan
 
The Company maintains a Rule 10b5-1 Stock Purchase Plan (the 10b5-1 Plan) for its Non-employee Directors for which the company deposited cash as part of the directors’ compensation plan.  Effective October 1, 2008, the director compensation plan changed and the non-employee Directors now receive a $2,500 cash payment and 2,500 shares of the Company’s common stock each quarter. The 10b5-1 Plan will continue to purchase shares in the open market until the cash balance is depleted.

NOTE 16 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents consisting of stock options and convertible debentures.  The dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents is determined using the treasury stock and if-converted method based on the Company’s average stock price for the period.
