CORGENIX MEDICAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

 

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1.                                      DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

(a)                                 Company Overview

 

We are organized as a C corporation, were established in 1990, and our business includes research, development, manufacture, and marketing of in vitro diagnostic (“IVD”) products (tested outside the human body) for use in disease detection and diagnosis.

 

Our revenues are generated from the following:

 

·                  Sales of Manufactured Products—We manufacture and sell 52 diagnostic products on a worldwide basis to hospitals, clinical testing laboratories, universities, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and research institutions.

 

·                  In North America we sell our products directly through our own sales organization and through several small independent distributors.

 

·                  Outside of North America, prior to October 1, 2010, we sold our products through Corgenix UK (formerly REAADS Bio Medical Products, UK Limited), our own wholly owned subsidiary (“Corgenix-UK”). Corgenix UK also managed the remainder of our international business, selling our products through independent distributors worldwide. On October 1, 2010 we transferred our international business to the ELITech Group (“ELITech”) which now serves as our international master distributor, selling our products through its wholly owned subsidiaries in addition to numerous independent distributors.

 

·                  Sales of OEM Products—We private label some of our IVD products for other diagnostic companies which they then resell worldwide through their own distribution networks. Our most important OEM customers include Bio-Rad Laboratories, Inc., Helena Laboratories and Diagnostic Grifols, S.A.

 

·                  Sales of OM Products—We purchase some products from other healthcare manufacturers which we then resell. These products include other IVD products, instruments, instrument systems and various reagents and supplies, and are primarily used to support the sale of our own manufactured products.

 

·                  Contract Manufacturing Agreements—We provide contract manufacturing services to other diagnostic and life science companies. Our most significant Contract Manufacturing customer is BG Medicine.

 

·                  Contract R&D Agreements—We provide contract product development services to strategic partners and alliances. Our most significant Contract R&D customers include ELITech, Tulane University (“Tulane”) and the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”).

 

·                  Other Revenues—This segment includes shipping and other miscellaneous revenues.

 

·                  We are not dependent upon only one or a few major customers.

 

Most of our products are used in clinical laboratories for the diagnosis and/or the monitoring of three important sectors of health care:

 

·                  Autoimmune disease (diseases in which an individual creates antibodies to one’s self, for example, systemic lupus erythematosus (“SLE”) and rheumatoid arthritis (“RA”));

 

·                  Vascular disease (diseases associated with certain types of thrombosis or clot formation, for example, antiphospholipid syndrome, deep vein thrombosis, stroke and coronary occlusion); and

 

7



Table of Contents

 

·                  Liver diseases (fibrosis and cirrhosis).

 

We are actively developing new laboratory tests in these and other important diagnostic testing areas.

 

We develop and manufacture products in several commonly utilized testing formats:

 

·                  Microplate Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (“ELISA”)—This is a clinical testing methodology commonly used worldwide. It is a format which must be run in laboratory conditions by trained technicians, and utilizes standard microplate reading instruments. Testing is performed on a standard 96-well plastic microplate and provides quantitative results.

 

·                  Lateral Flow Immunoassay (“LFI”)—This is a rapid testing format which utilizes small strip configuration. Patient samples are applied to the end of a strip and allowed to migrate along the strip with a positive or negative indicator. Results are typically obtained in a matter of minutes and can be performed in all settings including field testing.

 

·                  Immmunoturbidimetry (“IT”)—IT products are configured similar to ELISA Microplate products except that instead of coating microwell plates, this technology coats microbeads or microparticles. The assay configuration is more “automatable” than microplates, designed to be run on clinical chemistry analyzers in clinical testing laboratories by trained personnel. We use the IT format as part of our development and manufacturing agreements with ELITech.

 

Since 1990, our sales force and distribution partners have sold over 12 million tests worldwide under the REAADS and Corgenix labels, as well as OEM products. An integral part of our strategy is to work with corporate partners to develop market opportunities and access important resources including expanding our Contract Manufacturing and Contract R&D programs. We believe that our relationships with current and potential partners will enable us to enhance our menu of diagnostic products and accelerate our ability to penetrate the worldwide markets for new products.

 

We currently use the REAADS and Corgenix trademarks and trade names in the sale of the products which we manufacture. These products constitute the majority of our product sales.

 

(b)                                 Recent Developments

 

The 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan

 

On January 17, 2012, the shareholders approved the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2011 Incentive Plan”), which had been previously approved by the Board of Directors. The 2011 Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of qualified performance-based compensation awards which meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code regarding deductibility of executive compensation. Section 162(m) generally limits to $1 million the amount that a publicly held corporation is allowed to deduct each year for the compensation paid to certain “covered employees.”  “Qualified performance-based compensation” is not subject to the $1 million deduction limit.  A “covered employee” is any employee who as of the close of the tax year is the principal executive officer of the corporation or whose total compensation for that taxable year is required to be reported to shareholders under the Exchange Act by reason of such employee being among the three highest compensated officers for the tax year (other than the principal executive officer or the principal financial officer).

 

To qualify as “qualified performance-based compensation,” certain criteria must be satisfied and the material terms under which the compensation is to be paid, including the performance goals, must be disclosed to, and approved by, shareholders before the compensation is paid. Generally, shareholders are required to re-approve the criteria and the material terms of the plan every five years.  The 2011 Incentive Plan will enable the Compensation Committee to grant qualified performance-based compensation awards under the 2011 Incentive Plan that will be exempt from the deduction limits of Section 162(m) of the Code for five years.

 

A summary of the 2011 Incentive Plan is included in the Company’s Proxy Statement in Schedule 14A filed on December 5, 2011, and a copy of the 2011 Incentive Plan is attached to the Proxy Statement as Appendix A.

 

The Third Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

On January 17, 2012, the shareholders approved the Third Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”), which had been previously approved by the Board of Directors. The ESPP is intended to qualify as an “Employee Stock Purchase Plan” under Section 423 of the Code and will provide eligible employees with an opportunity to purchase shares of Company common stock, $0.001 par value (the “Common Stock”) through payroll deductions. The principal provisions of the ESPP

are summarized in the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed on December 5, 2011, and a copy of the ESPP is attached to the Proxy Statement as Appendix B.

 

The ELITech Third Tranche

 

On September 16, 2011 we received the $500,000 from Wescor, pursuant to the Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor invested an additional $500,000 and is in turn to be issued 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement has determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

 

The ELITech 2011 First Amended Joint Product Development Agreement

 

On July 28, 2011, we entered into a First Amended Joint Product Development Agreement (the “2011 Development Agreement”) with ELITech and Wescor, a wholly owned subsidiary of ELITech and located in Utah.

 

ELITtech and its affiliates, including Wescor, are worldwide manufacturers and distributors of IVD equipment, chemical analyzers and reagents. We entered into a Joint Product Development Agreement with ELITech on July 16, 2010, (the “2010 Development Agreement”, or, the “Agreement”) for the purpose of establishing a product co-development relationship with respect to our immunoassays (the “Corgenix Assays”). The parties entered into the 2011 Development Agreement to replace the 2010 Development Agreement in order to further expand and improve the product co-development relationship and technology development efficiency, whereby existing Corgenix Assays may be modified and new Corgenix Assays may be developed and commercialized by ELITech and its affiliates as part of a system that includes ELITech’s analyzers, and, in certain situations, also commercialized by us through our existing distribution channels.

 

The 2011 Development Agreement defines two phases of development effort. Phase I entails the sharing and licensing of existing Corgenix Assay technology to facilitate modification thereof for use in ELITech analyzers, as specified in the 2010 Development Agreement. Phase II is focused on the development of new Corgenix Immmunoturbidimetry (“IT Assays”) for use in ELITech analyzers. Each new Corgenix Assay and ELITech system/analyzer effort will be treated as a separate project having a specific development plan, budget and supply arrangements, and pricing, performance and acceptance criteria. The 2011 Development Agreement does not establish a second source right to immunoassay products to any party.

 

Each phase of the development work will be managed by an executive committee comprised of six (6) members, three (3) appointed by us and three (3) by ELITech. The executive committee shall meet monthly and manage all aspects of the development efforts including project and work group definition, intellectual property protection, scheduling, budgeting, regulatory approval and so forth.

 

Each party and its affiliates will retain ownership of its pre-existing or independently developed intellectual property as well as any intellectual property developed solely by its personnel as part of a joint development program. All solely owned intellectual property will be licensed to the other parties (without the right to sublicense) for purposes of developing and commercializing the new Corgenix Assays and new Corgenix IT Assays. Intellectual property developed by the combined efforts of the parties shall be owned jointly without restriction on use. However, ELITech will have sole ownership of intellectual property related to any system developed under the Agreement, and for a period of the earlier of either five (5) years from the effective date or three (3) years after the sale of the first product, Corgenix agrees to not develop or commercialize any new competitive product. Corgenix will manufacture Corgenix Assays during Phase I and have a right of first refusal to manufacture new Corgenix IT Assays developed during Phase II for a period of three (3) years following the date of first commercialization. However, ELITech and Wescor may elect to manufacture new Corgenix Assays for use into one of ELITech’s new systems. Manufacturing will be in accordance with manufacturing and supply agreements having terms and conditions to be agreed upon by the parties.

 

The term of the 2011 Development Agreement will be for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the effective date and renewable for an additional twelve (12) months upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the parties for the extended term. The Agreement may be terminated earlier by either party upon any material breach by the other party which is not cured within thirty (30) days from receipt of notice thereof by the breaching party, termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on July 16, 2010, failure to reach agreement with respect to any development plan, or upon a challenge by any party to the validity of the proprietary property or intellectual property of another party. In the event of termination, all licenses to intellectual property (except licenses to patents solely owned by a party not related to any development program) will survive and continue on a royalty free basis.

Each party will be responsible for its own costs, expenses and liabilities incurred under the Agreement; however, ELITech and Wescor will be responsible for expenses related to the development of new Corgenix Assays and systems. We will invoice Wescor monthly in an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of our actual development costs related to the new IT assays plus budgeted development- related overhead mutually agreed upon by the parties. Concurrently therewith, we will grant Wescor the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share in a total amount to equal sixty-six and 7/10 percent (66.7%) of the amount of each invoice at a per share price of $0.15. Wescor must purchase such shares within thirty (30) days. We will pay ELITech a royalty of seven percent (7%) of net product sales of new IT Assays sold by us.

 

The LSQ Funding Agreement

 

On July 14, 2011, we entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with LSQ Funding Group, L.C., a Florida limited liability company (“LSQ”).

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, LSQ is providing a line of credit (the “Line”) to us under which LSQ agrees to make loans to us in the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $1,500,000. The maximum amount of the loans under the Line shall also be governed by a borrowing base equal to 85% of Eligible Accounts Receivable plus 50% of Eligible Inventory, with certain limits and exclusions more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

Interest accrues on the average outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Line at a rate equal to 0.043% per day.

 

Loans under the Line may be repaid and such repaid amounts re-borrowed until the maturity date. Unless terminated by us or accelerated by LSQ in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Line will terminate and all loans there under must be repaid on July 14, 2013.

 

The Loan Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default typical in financings of this type, including, for example, limitations on additional debt and investments and limitations on the sale of additional equity by us or other changes in our ownership. Please refer to the Loan Agreement for all such representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, we granted to LSQ a security interest in all of our personal property to secure the repayment of the loans under the Line and all other of our obligations to LSQ, whether under the Loan Agreement or otherwise.

 

We have used the money we received under the Loan Agreement and the Line to pay off our outstanding debt obligations to Summit Financial Resources, L.P. (“Summit”), which totaled $732,894 as of July 14, 2011, the date of payment. Such payment resulted in our indebtedness and obligations owing to Summit being terminated and satisfied in full.

 

2                                         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

(a)                                 Application of New Accounting Standards

 

In January 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-06, (ASU 2010-06), “Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements”, which provides amendments to fair value disclosures. ASU 2010-06 requires additional disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. The revised guidance for transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 categories, as well as increased disclosures around inputs to fair value measurement, was adopted July 1, 2010, with the amendments to Level 3 disclosures effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. ASU 2010-06 concerns disclosure only. Neither the current requirements nor the amendments effective in fiscal year 2011 had or are expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition- Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity’s fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The provisions of ASU 2010-17 do not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 820).” This ASU seeks to improve comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting with respect to comprehensive income by eliminating the option to

 

10



Table of Contents

 

present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity, among other amendments. The amendments of this ASU require all non-owner changes in stockholder’s equity to be presented either in single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate but consecutive statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 is not expected to have any effect for the Company.

 

(b)                                 Principles of Consolidation

 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Corgenix Medical Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Corgenix, Inc. and Corgenix (UK) Limited (“Corgenix UK”). Corgenix UK was established as a United Kingdom company during 1996 to market our products in Europe. Transactions are generally denominated in U.S. dollars, but also invoices in Euros and British Pound Sterling. All amounts are converted into U.S. dollars upon consolidation of our financial statements. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements ceased to be consolidated as of September 30, 2011, as Corgenix UK has been liquidated and is no longer in existence.

 

(c)                                  Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) have been omitted from these unaudited consolidated financial statements. The condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, have been made to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2011 and the results of operations and our cash flows for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011and December 31, 2010.

(d)                                 Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at purchase to be cash equivalents.

 

(e)                                  Trade Accounts Receivable

 

Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We determine the allowance based on historical write-off experience. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We do not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related to customers.

 

We have adhered to the guidance set forth in the Sale of Accounts Receivable Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”), which provides standards for distinguishing transfers of financial assets that are sales from transfers that are secured borrowings.

 

Pursuant to the provisions of this Topic, we have reflected the sales of accounts receivable to the factors as secured borrowings. We have also established an accounts receivable from the factors for the retained amounts, less the costs of the transactions, less any anticipated future loss in the value of the retained asset. The retained amounts are equal to 15% of the total accounts receivable invoice sold to the factors. The periodic interest expense and administrative fees assessed by the factors on the amounts owing, are charged to interest expense, and are credited against the accounts receivable due from them.

 

(f)                                    Inventories

 

Inventories consist of raw materials, work in process and finished goods and are recorded at the lower of average cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. A provision is recorded to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable value, when necessary. No such provision was recorded as of December 31, 2011 or December 31, 2010. Components of inventories as of December 31 and June 30 are as follows:

(g)                                 Equipment and Software

 

Equipment and software are recorded at cost. Equipment under capital leases is recorded initially at the present value of the minimum lease payments. There was no equipment acquired under capital leases for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011, whereas for both the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010, there was $66,006 equipment acquired under capital leases.. Depreciation and amortization expense, which totaled $72,065 and $107,001 for the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and $142,203 and $215,568 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from 3 to 7 years. Capitalized software costs are related to our web site development, our R & D statistical software, which were and are both amortized over three years, and our accounting software, which is being amortized over five years, beginning in March 2008, and additionally in March 2011.

 

(h)                                 Intangible Assets

 

Intangible assets consist of purchased licenses. Purchased licenses are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of 15 years or the remaining life of the license. We have adopted the provisions of the Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Topic of the FASB ASC. Pursuant to these provisions, goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have indefinite lives and licenses acquired with no definite term are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of this statement. Identifiable intangibles with estimated useful lives continue to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets Topic as set forth in the FASB ASC.

On March 1, 2007, we executed an exclusive license agreement (the “License Agreement”) with Creative Clinical Concepts, Inc. (“CCC”). The License Agreement provides that CCC license to us certain products and assets related to determining the effectiveness of aspirin and / or anti-platelet therapy (collectively, “Aspirin Effectiveness Technology,” or the “Licensed Products”). The Aspirin Effectiveness Technology includes US trademark registration number 2,688,842, which includes the term “AspirinWorks”® and related designs. As previously reported, the License Agreement required us to pay or issue certain amounts of cash, common stock, and warrants to CCC, subject to various caps. As of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had nothing accrued with respect to the cumulative amount due to CCC. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011, we issued neither shares nor warrants to CCC versus 15,296 shares and 75,000 warrants issued in the prior year’s quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010, pursuant to this License Agreement.

 

The License Agreement also requires that, for all sales of the Licensed Products subsequent to the execution of the agreement, we pay CCC a quarterly royalty fee equal to seven percent (7%) of net sales of the Licensed Products during the immediately preceding quarter. The License Agreement’s caps on payments from us to CCC do not apply to royalty payments. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011, we incurred $11,596 and $22,470, respectively of royalty expense to CCC, versus $7,776 and $12,821, respectively for the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010.

 

(i)                                    Advertising Costs

 

Advertising costs are expensed when incurred, and are included in selling and marketing expenses and totaled $13,895 and $9,719 for the quarters ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and $30,940 and $23,040 for the six month periods ended December 31, 2011 and December 2010, respectively.

 

(j)                                    Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for net operating loss and other credit carry forwards and the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the tax effect of transactions are expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

 

Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for the portion of such assets for which it is more likely than not that the amount will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the underlying asset or liability giving rise to the temporary difference or the expected date of utilization of the carry forwards.

 

(k)                                 Revenue Recognition

 

Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products. Sales discounts and allowances are recorded at the time product sales are recognized and are offset against sales revenue. When revenue is received by a customer in advance of shipment of products, in exchange for a discount, it is credited to deferred revenue and taken into revenue upon eventual shipment of the products. We also have arrangements in which we manufacture products for other companies. Revenue under these arrangements is recognized when the manufacturing process is complete and risk of ownership has passed.

 

(l)                                    Research and Development

 

We direct our research and development efforts towards development of new products on our proprietary platform ELISA technology in the Microplate format, as well as applying our technology to automated laboratory testing systems. In that regard, we have organized our research and development effort into three major areas: (i) new product development, (ii) technology assessment, and (iii) technical and product support.

 

Our technical staff evaluates the performance of reagents (prepared internally or purchased commercially), creates working prototypes of potential products, performs internal studies, participates in clinical trials, manufactures pilot lots of new products, establishes validated methods that can be manufactured consistently, creates documentation required for manufacturing and testing of new products, and collaborates with our quality assurance department to satisfy regulatory requirements and support regulatory clearance. They are responsible for assessing the performance of new technologies along with determining the technical feasibility of market introduction, and investigating the patent/license issues associated with new technologies.

 

13



Table of Contents

 

Our technical staff is responsible for supporting current products on the market through scientific investigation, and is responsible for design transfer to manufacturing of all new products developed. They assess the performance and validate all externally sourced products in order to confirm that these products meet our performance and quality standards.

 

The technical staff includes individuals skilled in immunology, assay development, protein biochemistry, biochemistry and basic sciences. We maintain facilities to support our development efforts at the Broomfield, Colorado headquarters. Group leaders are also skilled in planning and project management under FDA-mandated design control.

 

Research & Development expenses consists primarily of the labor-related costs, the cost of clinical studies and travel expenses, laboratory supplies and product testing expenses related to the research and development of new and existing diagnostic products. Since contract R & D and Grant related revenue has now become a more significant aspect of our business, those R & D expenses which are directly related to the generation of specific contract R & D and Grant revenue, have been reclassified out of R & D expense to cost of sales. As a result of this reclassification, only those R & D expenses, not involved in the fulfillment of specific contract R & D and Grant related contracts, are included as R & D expense in the Statement of Operations operating expense section.

 

(m)                          Long-Lived Assets

 

We review long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. We evaluate the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should an impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.

 

(n)                                 Deferred Facility Lease Payable

 

Prior to occupying our headquarters facility in Broomfield, Colorado, the landlord expended a total of $1,052,140 for the tenant improvements. This amount was recorded as a charge to leasehold improvements and a credit to deferred facility lease payable, which is being amortized against rent expense over the 156 month period of the original lease and extension.

 

(o)                                 Stock-Based Compensation

 

In accordance with the guidance of the Share-Based Payment Topic of the FASB ASC, we account for share-based payments by measuring and recognizing the amount of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. Pursuant to this guidance, we estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in our Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. In further adherence to this guidance, we estimate any future forfeiture at the time of grant and revise these estimates, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

 

For purposes of determining the estimated fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant, and as allowed by the guidance of the Share-Based Payment Topic in the FASB ASC, we use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (the “Black Scholes Model”). The Black Scholes Model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because our employee stock options may have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our employee stock options. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, which could materially impact our fair value determination.

 

The application of the accounting principles set forth in the guidance of the Share-Based Payment Topic of the FASB ASC may be subject to further interpretation and refinement over time. There are significant differences among option valuation models, and this may result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods and assumptions. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of these accounting principles in future periods, or if we decide to use a different valuation model, the compensation expense that we record in the future under these principles may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period and could materially affect our loss from operations, net loss and net loss per share.

(p)                                 Earnings (loss) per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased for potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of stock options and their equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method. Under the treasury stock method, the diluted earnings per share denominator includes the net of new shares potentially created by unexercised in-the-money warrants and options. This method assumes that the proceeds that we receive from an in-the-money option exercise would be used to repurchase common shares in the market.

 

Options and warrants to purchase common stock, totaling 27,324,193 and 24,439,246 shares as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, are not included in the calculation of weighted average common shares-diluted below, as their effect would be to lower the net loss per share and thus be anti-dilutive. Redeemable common stock is included in the common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating net loss per share.

(q)                                 Foreign Currency Transactions and Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

In fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, the accounts of our foreign subsidiary were generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. For those operations, assets and liabilities were translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts were translated at average monthly exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from such translation were accumulated in other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. These amounts were written off upon the final closure of Corgenix-UK in September of 2011.

 

We adhered to the guidance set forth in the Reporting Comprehensive Income Topic of the FASB ASC, which establishes standards for reporting and displaying comprehensive income (loss) and its components. Comprehensive income (loss) includes all changes in equity during a period from non-owner sources.

 

(r)                                   Cost of Revenues and Operating Expenses

 

Cost of revenues includes costs associated with manufacturing, including labor, raw materials, freight-in, manufacturing administration, quality assurance and quality control, repairs and maintenance, scrap and other indirect costs. Cost of revenues also includes those R & D expenses which are directly related to the generation of specific contract R & D and Grant revenue.

 

Selling and marketing expenses consist primarily of shipping and handling costs, wages and benefits for sales and marketing support personnel, travel, sales commissions, business insurance, promotional costs, as well as other indirect costs.

 

Research and development expenses that are directly related to the generation of specific research and development and grant revenue are expensed as incurred and included in cost of sales. During the current fiscal year, since contract R & D and Grant related revenue has become a more meaningful aspect of its business, the R & D expenses which are directly related to the generation of specific contract R & D and Grant revenue, have been reclassified out of R & D expense to cost of sales. These expenses consist primarily of the labor-related costs, the cost of clinical studies and travel expenses, laboratory supplies and product-testing expenses related to the research and development of new and existing diagnostic products.

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of wages and benefits associated with management and administrative support departments, business insurance costs, professional fees, outside services, office facility related expense, and other general support costs.

 

(s)            Liquidity

 

At December 31, 2011, our working capital increased by $624,714 to $3,941,843 from $3,317,129 at June 30, 2011, and concurrently, our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) increased from 2.54 to 1 at June 30, 2011 to 4.63 to 1 at December 31, 2011. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the $500,000 third tranche investment by ELITech in addition to the substantial reduction in short term borrowings as evidenced by the revolving line of credit.

 

At December 31, 2011, trade and other receivables were $1,332,787 versus $1,554,423 at June 30, 2011. Accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued expenses decreased by a combined $82,944 to $937,142 from $1,020,086 at June 30, 2011. At December 31, 2011, inventories were $2,862,670, a slight increase versus $2,800,473 at June 30, 2011.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $143,587, versus cash provided by operating activities of $108,444 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the cash provided by operations for the current quarter resulted primarily from the substantially reduced net loss for the current period.

 

Net cash used by investing activities, the purchase of laboratory equipment, leasehold improvements and computer equipment, was $23,300 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $11,446 net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

 

Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $403,662 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $829,998 net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease versus the comparable prior year was primarily due to the significantly lower amount of proceeds from the issuance of common stock to ELITech in the current six month period versus the proceeds received in the prior period.

 

We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since our inception, net of accreted dividends on redeemable common and redeemable preferred stock, have aggregated $13,737,101 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through long-term debt, factoring of accounts receivables, and the sales of common stock, redeemable common stock, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. We have developed and are continuing to modify an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability, positive cash flow from operations, and an adequate level of financial liquidity. Key components of this plan include consistent revenue growth and the cash to be derived from such growth, as well as the expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, securing diagnostic-related government contracts and grants, improving operating efficiencies to reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering our overall operating expenses. If our sales were to decline, are flat, or achieve very slow growth, we would undoubtedly incur operating losses and a decreasing level of liquidity for that period of time. In view of this, and in order to further improve our liquidity and operating results, we entered into the ELITech collaboration and investment, described above.

 

The $2,000,000 ELITech common stock investment in addition to the LSQ $1,500,000 July 14, 2011 credit facility, in conjunction with our current revised forecasts, should provide adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months.

 

(t)                                    Reclassifications

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to the statement of operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2010, to conform to the December 31, 2011 presentation. Such reclassifications had no effect on the net loss for the periods.

 

(u)                             Fair Value Measurements

 

The fair value of our financial instruments reflect the amounts that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

 

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

16



Table of Contents

 

Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

Level 3—unobservable inputs.

 

The Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based upon other observable inputs. The following table sets forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets that were measured on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011:

3.                                      SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Company’s diagnostic medical products are sold in North America (the U.S., Canada and Mexico) directly and through independent sales representatives, to hospital laboratories, laboratory chains, independent laboratories, university laboratories and reference laboratories. Internationally, in prior years, its diagnostic medical products were sold wholesale through distributors, via its wholly owned subsidiary, Corgenix UK. However, commencing October 1, 2010, the Company began the process of winding down with the intent of eventually closing its international subsidiary, Corgenix UK, and its international product sales began to be executed solely through EliTech-UK, a wholly owned subsidiary of the ELITech Group, its master distributor. Consequently, it is no longer meaningful to organize its business around the two geographic segments of business: North American and International operations. For the quarter and six month period ended December 31, 2011, the Company generated sales of $223,267 and $454,351, respectively to ELITech-UK versus $244,642 in the prior year, with the amount receivable from ELITech-UK at December 31, 2011 amounting to $189,368 and $161,952 at December 31, 2010.

 

4.                                      REDEEMABLE COMMON STOCK AND REDEEMABLE CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK

 

(a)                                 Redeemable Common Stock and Warrants

 

As previously reported, on July 1, 2002, as part of the Medical & Biological Laboratories Co., Ltd. (“MBL”) Stock Purchase Agreement (the “MBL Agreement”), MBL purchased shares of the Company’s common stock for $500,000, which are subject to MBL’s option to require the Company to repurchase at the same price in the event that a previously existing distribution agreement with RhiGene, Inc. were terminated. For no additional consideration, MBL was also issued warrants to purchase an additional 880,282 shares of Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) at a price of $.568 per share, which is equal to an aggregate amount of $500,000. These warrants were due to expire on July 3, 2009 and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to their expiration. The estimated fair value of the warrant upon issuance was calculated as $401,809 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: no expected dividend yield, 143% volatility, risk free interest rate of 4.2% and an expected life of five years. The gross proceeds of $500,000 were allocated $277,221 to redeemable common stock and $222,779 to the related warrants based on the relative fair values of the respective instruments to the fair value of the aggregate transaction. Issuance costs and the discount attributed to the redeemable common stock upon issuance were accreted over the 33-month period to the first date whereupon the put option may be exercised, which was the expiration date of the distribution agreement between the Company and RhiGene, Inc. (March 31, 2008). Furthermore, pursuant to the agreement with MBL, as long as MBL holds at least 50% of the common stock purchased under the MBL Agreement, MBL must give its written consent with respect to the payment of any dividend, the repurchase of any of the Company’s equity securities, the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the amendment of any provision of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws which would adversely affect the rights of MBL under the stock purchase transaction documents. MBL was granted standard anti-dilution rights with respect to stock issuances not registered under the Securities Act. MBL also received standard piggyback registration rights along with certain demand registration rights.

 

As previously reported, on August 1, 2005 the Company and MBL entered into an Amendment to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant (the “First MBL Amendment”) wherein one-half, or 440,141, of the Purchased Shares were exchanged for a three-year promissory note in the principal amount of $250,000 payable with interest at the prime rate plus two percent (the “First MBL Note”) with payments having commenced in September 1, 2005. The First MBL Amendment also extended the warrants to August 31, 2008 or until the principal balance of the First MBL Note was paid in full and re-priced the warrants from $0.568 per share to $0.40 per share. The First MBL Note has been paid in full and all of the 440,041 Purchased Shares exchanged for the First MBL Note have been returned to the Company. Pursuant to the First MBL Amendment, the remaining 440,141 Purchased Shares not exchanged for the First Note were originally due to be redeemed by the Company at $0.568 per share on August 1, 2008 unless MBL was able to sell the remaining Purchased Shares on the open market.

Table of Contents

 

As previously reported, on August 1, 2008, the Company and MBL entered into a Second Amendment to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant (the “Second MBL Amendment”) wherein one-half, or 220,070, of the remaining Purchased Shares were exchanged for a two-year promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 payable with interest at the prime rate plus two percent (the “Second MBL Note”) with payments having commenced in September 1, 2008. The Second MBL Amendment also extended the warrants to August 1, 2010 or until the principal balance of the Second MBL Note was paid in full. As of the date of this report, no unpaid principal balance remained on the Second MBL Note, and the 220,070 Purchased Shares exchanged for the Second MBL Note have been returned to the Company. Pursuant to the Second MBL Amendment, the remaining 220,071 Purchased Shares not exchanged for the Second MBL Note were originally due to be redeemed by it at $0.568 per share on August 1, 2010 unless MBL was able to sell the remaining Purchased Shares on the open market.

 

On August 27, 2010, the Company entered into a Third MBL Amendment to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant dated August 1, 2010 (the “Third MBL Amendment”) among the Company and MBL, wherein the remaining 220,070 Purchased Shares were exchanged for a two-year promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000, payable with interest at the prime rate plus two percent (the “Third MBL Note”) with payments having commenced on September 1, 2010. The Third MBL Amendment also extended the warrants to August 1, 2012. As a result of the warrant extension, an additional discount was created, which is being accreted through dividends and is included as deferred financing costs on the Company’s balance sheet.

 

As of December 31, 2011, a total of 797,752 shares have been returned to us pursuant to the three notes payable. As a result, 82,530 shares remained outstanding as of December 31, 2011, as they have not been returned to the Company under the agreements.

 

(b)                                 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On February 3, 2009, we entered into two agreements (the “Restructuring Agreements”) to restructure the debt evidenced by convertible term notes that Truk Opportunity Fund, LLC, a Delaware company; Truk International Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands company (collectively, “Truk”); and CAMOFI Master LDC, a Cayman Islands company, formerly named DCOFI Master LDC, (“CAMOFI”) purchased on May 19, 2005 and December 28, 2005. The Restructuring Agreements suspended all amortizing principal amount payments otherwise due under each note, beginning November 1, 2008 and ending on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month next succeeding the closing of any new financing transaction or (ii) May 1, 2009 (the “Repayment Date”), at which time payments would again have become due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until December 31, 2011 (the “Maturity Date”). Payments would be equal to the amount of principal outstanding divided by the number of months from the Repayment Date until the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the amortizing principal amount for each of the term notes and all other amounts due and owing must be repaid in full, whether by payment of cash, or at Truk’s or CAMOFI’s option, by the conversion into common stock.

 

Under the Restructuring Agreements, Truk and CAMOFI agreed that their security interest in our accounts receivable and inventory would only be subordinated to that of the lenders in any new financing, but that their security interest in all of our other assets will remain a perfected first security interest.

 

Simultaneously with the execution of the Restructuring Agreements:

 

(1)           We paid $22,466 to Truk and CAMOFI for accrued and unpaid interest from November 1, 2008 to February 3, 2009 with respect to term notes held by each;

 

(2)           We extended the expiry dates of common stock purchase warrants held by the note-holders (warrants dated May 19, 2005 were extended to expire May 19, 2017, rather than May 19, 2012, and common stock purchase warrants dated December 28, 2005 were extended to expire December 28, 2015, rather than December 28, 2010);

 

(3)           We issued to CAMOFI 200,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B”), with a liquidation preference of $50,000, which is convertible into 800,000 shares of our common stock at the rate of $0.25 per share; and

 

(4)           We issued to Truk 36,680 shares of Series B, with a liquidation preference of $9,170, which is convertible into 146,720 shares of our common stock at the rate of $0.25 per share. The calculated cost of items (2) through (4) were charged to deferred finance costs and is being amortized over nine months through December 2009.

 

On October 8, 2010, we completed a repurchase of 200,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Repurchased Shares”) held by CAMOFI Master LDC, a Cayman Islands company (“CAMOFI”), for a purchase price of $50,000.  Pursuant to the Second Modification of Secured Convertible Term Notes dated January 29, 2009 by and between us and CAMOFI, the Repurchased Shares bore a $50,000 liquidation preference and were convertible into 800,000 shares of our common stock at the

option of CAMOFI.  The repurchase was funded in part by cash on hand and in part by proceeds from the sale of the ELITech Second Tranche Shares as described in Note 5 below.

5.                                      STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

(a)                                 Common Stock

 

On July 12, 2010 we entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with ELITech and Wescor. In accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will purchase up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s common stock in three installments (subject to various conditions) and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares.

 

The initial investment by Wescor was to take place over three tranches:

 

Pursuant to the First Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on July 16, 2010, Wescor invested $1,250,000 to purchase 8,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration the Company issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 4,166,667 shares at $0.15 per share.

 

On October 8, 2010, we closed the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with ELITech and Wescor, effective as of October 1, 2010. As a condition to closing the Second Tranche, we transferred our product distribution activity outside of North America from our subsidiary, Corgenix UK to ELITech UK, pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, effective as of October 1, 2010 by and among us, Corgenix UK and ELITech UK. As an additional condition to closing the Second Tranche, Wescor purchased 1,666,667 shares of our common stock (the “Second Tranche Shares”) for $250,000, or $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration, we issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 833,333 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per share (the “Second Tranche Warrant”).

 

On September 16, 2011 we received the $500,000 from Wescor, pursuant to the Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor invested an additional $500,000 and is to in turn be issued 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement has determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

 

On July 28, 2011, we entered into a First Amended Joint Product Development Agreement (the “2011 Development Agreement”) with ELITech and Wescor. Each party will be responsible for its own costs, expenses and liabilities incurred under the Agreement; however, ELITech and Wescor will be responsible for expenses related to the development of new Corgenix Assays and systems. Pursuant to this agreement, each month we will notify Wescor of the amount of their stock purchase commitment, which is equal to sixty-six and 7/10 percent (66.7%) of the amount of each monthly R & D invoice at a per share price of $0.15. Wescor must purchase such shares within thirty (30) days of each notification. For the quarter and six month period ended December 31, 2011, we generated $208,298 and $384,857 respectively, in R & D revenue and issued 872,731 and 1,099,384 shares respectively, under this arrangement. Also, pursuant to the 2011 Development Agreement, there was $208,298 in accounts receivable for research and development and $37,106 due with respect to stock purchase commitments owing from Wescor as of December 31, 2011 for 247,473 shares to be issued subsequent to December 31, 2011.  The $37,106 has not been recorded as of December 31, 2011.

 

(b)                                 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

 

Effective January 1, 1999, we adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan to provide eligible employees an opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock through payroll deductions, up to 10% of eligible compensation. On April 26, 2007, Shareholders approved our Second Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These plans fully comply with Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Each quarter, participant account balances are used to purchase shares of stock at the lesser of 85% of the fair value of shares on the first business day (grant date) and last business day (exercise date) of each quarter. No right to purchase shares shall be granted if, immediately after the grant, the employee would own stock aggregating 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock. A total of 600,000 common shares have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for purchase under the two plans. In the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2011, 84,244 and 174,402 shares respectively, were issued under the plans. In the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010, 11,378 and 34,547 shares respectively, were issued under the plan.

 

On January 17, 2012, at our Annual Meeting of shareholders, the shareholders voted to approve The Third Amended & Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan, effective January 1, 2012. The maximum number of shares that may be sold under the Third Amended & Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan is 500,000 shares, which shares have been registered with the SEC.

(c)                                  Incentive Stock Option Plan

 

Stock Options as of December 31, 2011

 

On August 30, 2011, the Company granted the following stock options under the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan: (1) 200,000 options to the Board of Directors; (2) 550,000 options to the Company’s four Executive Officers, and (3) 1,045,000 options to each of the Company’s other employees. All of the stock options were issued at an exercise price of $0.085, the closing stock price on August 30, 2011 and have a term of seven years. The stock options to the Board of Directors vest immediately and those issued to the Executive Officers and employees have a three-year vesting period. The stock options granted to the Board of Directors and the Executive Officers were granted under the 2011 Incentive Compensation Plan, and were approved by the shareholders at the January 17, 2012 Annual Shareholders meeting.

 

Our Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plans and the 2007 and 2011 Incentive Compensation Plans (the “Plans”) provides for two separate components. The Stock Option Grant Program, administered by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) appointed by our Board of Directors, provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase common stock to employees, directors or other independent advisors designated by the Committee. The Restricted Stock Program administered by the Committee, provides for the issuance of Restricted Stock Awards to employees, directors or other independent advisors designated by the Committee. The following table summarizes stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2011, and changes during the six months then ended:

6.                                      DUE TO FACTOR

 

On March 29, 2010, Corgenix UK entered into a financing agreement with Faunus Group International, Inc. (“FGI”). Under the Agreement, Corgenix UK agreed to sell all of Corgenix UK’s right, title and interest in and to specified accounts receivable and all merchandise represented by those accounts. In exchange, FGI advanced funds to the Company.

 

On October 4, 2010, Corgenix UK entered into a letter agreement with FGI, pursuant to which, among other things, Corgenix UK and FGI agreed to terminate the financing agreement with FGI, effective as of September 30, 2010.

Table of Contents

 

Under the FGI financing agreement, Corgenix UK agreed to sell to FGI all of Corgenix UK’s right, title and interest in and to specified accounts receivable and all merchandise represented by those accounts.  In exchange, FGI advanced funds to the Company.

 

Contemporaneously with the termination of the Agreement, each of following agreements were terminated effective as of September 30, 2010: (a) Guaranty dated March 29, 2010 by and between the Company and FGI, (b) Guaranty dated March 29, 2010 by and between Corgenix Inc. and FGI, and (c) Debenture Agreement dated March 29, 2010 by and between Corgenix UK and FGI.  Corgenix UK paid FGI a termination fee of $25,000.

 

The accounts receivable sold to FGI were treated as a secured borrowing. During the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010, we sold $207,584 of our accounts receivable invoices to FGI for approximately $176,027. Fees paid to FGI for interest and other services for the same period totaled $36,263.

 

On September 30, 2009, we, along with our wholly owned subsidiary, Corgenix, Inc., entered into a Financing Agreement, an Addendum to Financing Agreement, a Loan and Security Agreement and a Promissory Note (collectively, the “Summit Agreements”) with Summit. We were jointly and severally liable for all obligations pursuant to the Summit Agreements. The Agreements with Summit provided us and our subsidiary with a maximum credit line of $1,750,000 pursuant to an account factoring relationship, coupled with a secured line of credit.

 

Under the Financing Agreement, we agreed to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to accounts identified for purchase by Summit from time to time. The purchase price for each sold account equaled the face amount of each account multiplied by the applicable advance rate, minus all interest and fees and charges as described in the Financing Agreement. In addition, interest was to accrue on advances made by way of purchased accounts at the rate of prime plus 1.5% per annum until Summit received payment in full on each account. If Summit did not receive full payment on a purchased account by the due date specified in the Financing Agreement, then we or our subsidiary (as applicable) were to repurchase that account, and pay Summit the default interest rate until it was repaid.

 

Under this agreement, the advance rate on eligible accounts receivable remained at 85%.

 

The accounts receivable sold to Summit were treated as a secured borrowing. As the finance agreement with Summit terminated on July 14, 2011, during the six months ended December 31, 2011 we sold $179,906 of our accounts receivable invoices to Summit for approximately $152,920. Fees paid to Summit for interest and other services for the same period totaled $12,802. For the quarter and six months ended December 31, 2010, we sold $1,014,417 and $2,155,211 respectively, of our accounts receivable invoices to Summit for approximately $862,254 and $1,831,929. Fees paid to Summit for interest and other services for the same period totaled $39,670 and $82,850, respectively.

 

Other Receivables at December 31, 2010 represented the retained percentages of the factored accounts receivable. The Summit financing agreement was terminated as of July 14, 2011, pursuant to the LSQ revolving line of credit agreement, as described in Note 7 below.

 

7.             REVOLVING LINE OF CREDIT

 

On July 14, 2011, as mentioned above, we entered into the Loan Agreement with LSQ.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, LSQ is providing the Line to us under which LSQ agrees to make loans to us in the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $1,500,000. The maximum amount of the loans under the Line shall also be governed by a borrowing base equal to 85% of Eligible Accounts Receivable plus 50% of Eligible Inventory, with certain limits and exclusions more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement.

 

Interest accrues on the average outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Line at a rate equal to 0.043% per day (15.7% APR).

 

Loans under the Line may be repaid and such repaid amounts re-borrowed until the maturity date. Unless terminated by us or accelerated by LSQ in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Line will terminate and all loans there under must be repaid on July 14, 2013.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, we granted to LSQ a security interest in all of our personal property to secure the repayment of the loans under the Line and all other of our obligations to LSQ, whether under the Loan Agreement or otherwise.

We have used the money we received under the Loan Agreement and the Line to pay off our outstanding debt obligations to Summit, which totaled $732,894 as of July 14, 2011, the date of payment. Such payment resulted in our indebtedness and obligations owing to Summit being terminated and satisfied in full. For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, LSQ funded a total of $1,068,288 under the revolving line of credit, of which $6,202 was outstanding as of December 31, 2011. Fees paid to LSQ for interest and other services for the same period totaled $18,287. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, LSQ funded a total of $3,267,930 under the revolving line of credit.

9.            COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

 

On July 12, 2010, the Company announced that under the terms and conditions of the distribution agreement (“Master Distribution Agreement”) with ELITech UK entered into on July 12, 2010, and as a condition precedent to the closing of the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with ELITech and Wescor, also entered into on July 12, 2010, ELITech UK became the exclusive distributor of its Products (as that term is defined therein) outside of North America. Accordingly, the Company along with Corgenix UK assigned and/or transferred the economic benefit to ELITech UK, and ELITech UK assumed all of the obligations of the Company or Corgenix UK under all distribution agreements executed by us or Corgenix UK, as the case may be, related to any distributor whose territory is outside of North America. Thus, as a condition to the closing of the Second Tranche investment with the ELITech group, it has effectively transferred its product distribution activity outside of North America from its subsidiary, Corgenix UK, to ELITech UK.

 

Pursuant to this plan, beginning October 1, 2010, the Company began winding down the business activities heretofore carried out by Corgenix UK and permanently closing the business on or about May 31, 2011. In order to accomplish this wind down and closing of Corgenix UK, the Company transferred one of Corgenix UK’s seven employees to ELITech UK, terminated the employment of all but two of the remaining Corgenix UK employees at December 31, 2010, retained one employee and one consultant until November 30, 2010, and retained the last remaining employee until March 31, 2011.

 

In connection with this reduction in workforce, the Company incurred cash charges of approximately $131,751 for one-time costs associated with the severance of these employees, which has been accounted for on a straight-line basis over the period from notification through each employee’s termination date. In addition to the above one-time charges amounting to $131,751, the Company has sold, where possible, the fixed assets, and transferred the facility lease of Corgenix UK. In that regard, the Company incurred an additional $90,237 in costs related to the loss on sale or abandonment of fixed assets, and $264,074 of charges relating to facility leases and other fixed obligations. During the quarter ended December 31, 2011, Corgenix-UK was completely liquidated and all of the costs associated with exit or disposal activities have been incurred and accounted for.

Item 2.

 

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere herein.

 

(a)           Forward-Looking Statements

 

This 10-Q includes statements that are not purely historical and are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future.  All statements other than historical fact contained in this 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements regarding future capital guidance, acquisition strategies, strategic partnership expectations, technological developments, the development, the availability of necessary components, research and development programs and distribution plans, are forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements included in this 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements.  Although we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct or that we will take any actions that may presently be planned.

 

(b)           General

 

Since our inception, we have been primarily involved in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing/distribution of diagnostic tests for sale to clinical laboratories. We currently market 52 products covering autoimmune disorders, vascular diseases, infectious diseases and liver disease. Our products are sold in the United States, the UK and other countries through our marketing and sales organization that includes direct sales representatives, contract sales representatives, internationally through an extensive distributor network, and to several significant OEM partners.

 

We manufacture products for inventory based upon expected sales demand, shipping products to customers, usually within 24 hours of receipt of orders if in stock.  Accordingly, we do not operate with a significant customer order backlog.

 

Except for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1997, 2009, and 2011 we have experienced revenue growth since our inception, primarily from sales of products and contract revenues from strategic partners. Contract revenues consist of service fees from research and development agreements with strategic partners.

 

Beginning in fiscal year 1996, we began adding third-party OM licensed products to our diagnostic product line. Currently we sell 128 products licensed from or manufactured by third party manufacturers. We expect to expand our relationships with other companies in the future to gain access to additional products.

 

Although, as previously stated, we have experienced growth in revenues every year since 1990, except for 1997, 2009, and 2011, there can be no assurance that, in the future, we will sustain revenue growth, current revenue levels, or achieve or maintain profitability. Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as the result of several factors, including: (i) whether and when new products are successfully developed and introduced, (ii) market acceptance of current or new products, (iii) seasonal customer demand, (iv) whether and when we receive research and development payments from strategic partners, (v) changes in reimbursement policies for the products that we sell, (vi) competitive pressures on average selling prices for the products that we sell, and (vii) changes in the mix of products that we sell.

Cost of revenues.  Total cost of revenues, as a percentage of sales, were 54.6% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 versus 50.6% for the prior fiscal year. The primary reason for the increase for the quarter was the increased revenue generated from contract R & D and grants, which carries a much higher cost of revenues than do our core products. The following table shows, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the composition of the cost of revenues, between the cost of sales related to our core business and that the cost of revenues related to our contract research and development and grant revenues, and their relative percentage of related revenues.

Selling and marketing expenses.  For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, selling and marketing expenses increased $107,058 or 31.4% to $448,399 from $341,341 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The $107,058 increase versus the prior year resulted primarily from increases of $71,577 in labor-related expenses, $18,373 in consulting expenses, and $7,719 in trade show and travel related expenses, plus a net increase of $9,389 in other selling and marketing expenses.

 

Research and development Expenses. Gross Research and development expenses, prior to the reclassification of a portion of said expenses to cost of sales, increased $89,884 or 41.9% to $304,627 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, from $214,743 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. The $89,884 increase versus the prior year resulted primarily from increases of $117,008 in labor-related expenses and $29,313 in laboratory supplies partially offset by a net decrease of $56,437 in other research and development expenses, primarily outside services expense.

 

General and administrative expenses. For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, general and administrative expenses increased $30,079 or 6.8% to $470,667 from $440,588 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This increase was primarily as a result of the $35,500 increase to bad debt expense for the period.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $17,227, or 37.4% to $28,886 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, from $46,113 for the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This substantial decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the considerably lower borrowings for the current period plus additional interest expense in the prior year brought about by the FGI borrowings.

Cost of revenues.  Total cost of revenues, as a percentage of sales, were 53.2% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 versus 45.3% for the prior fiscal year. The primary reasons for the increase for the six month period were the increased revenue generated from contract R & D and grants, which carries a much higher cost of revenues than do our core products, and the fact that the current period entailed six months of international sales to ELITech-UK as our Master Distributor as opposed to the prior year, wherein we only generated sales to ELITech-UK for the second quarter.The following table shows, for the six months ended December 31, 2011, the composition of the cost of revenues, between the cost of sales related to our core business and that the cost of revenues related to our contract research and development and grant revenues, and their relative percentage of related revenues.

Selling and marketing expenses.  For the six months ended December 31, 2011, selling and marketing expenses increased $247,021 or 34.8% to $957,725 from $710,704 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The $247,021 increase versus the prior year resulted primarily from increases of, $196,875 in labor-related expenses, $18,861 in consulting and outside services expenses, and $51,345 in trade show and travel related expenses, partially offset by a net decrease of $20,061 in other selling and marketing expenses.

 

Research and development Expenses. Gross Research and development expenses, prior to the reclassification of a portion of said expenses to cost of sales, increased $238,633 or 69.1% to $584,081 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $345,448 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The $238,633 increase versus the prior year resulted primarily from increases of $212,232 in labor-related expenses, $16,820 in travel-related expenses and $62,310 in laboratory supplies, partially offset by a net decrease of $52,729 in other research and development expenses.

 

General and administrative expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, general and administrative expenses decreased $48,296 or 5.1% to $895,576 from $943,872 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The $48,296 decrease versus the prior year resulted primarily from decreases of $87,134 in Corgenix-UK general and administrative expenses, partially offset by a net increase of $38,838 in other general and administrative expenses.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $65,667, or 42.4% to $89,108 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, from $154,775 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This substantial decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the considerably lower borrowings for the current period plus additional interest expense in the prior year brought about by the FGI borrowings.

 

(d)                                  ADJUSTED EBITDA

 

Our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non cash expense associated with stock-based compensation and the one-time costs associated with exit or disposal activities (“Adjusted EBITDA”) decreased $62,869 or 65.1% to

Table of Contents

 

$33,697 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 compared with $96,566 for the corresponding three month period in fiscal 2011. For the six month period ended December 31, 2011, adjusted EBITDA decreased $180,418 or 53.4% to $157,200 compared with $337,618 for the corresponding six month period in fiscal 2011. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure of performance or liquidity, we believe that it may be useful to an investor in evaluating our ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital guidance. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) can be made by adding depreciation and amortization expense, corporate stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income tax expense to net income (loss) as in the following table:

(e)                                  Financing Agreements

 

On September 16, 2011 we received the $500,000 from Wescor, pursuant to the Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor invested an additional $500,000 and is in turn to be issued 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement has determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

 

On July 28, 2011, we entered into a First Amended Joint Product Development Agreement (the “2011 Development Agreement”) with ELITech and Wescor.

 

The term of the 2011 Development Agreement will be for a period of thirty-six (36) months from the effective date and renewable for an additional twelve (12) months upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon by the parties for the extended term. The Agreement may be terminated earlier by either party upon any material breach by the other party which is not cured within thirty (30) days from receipt of notice thereof by the breaching party, termination of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement entered into by the parties on July 16, 2010, failure to reach agreement with respect to any development plan, or upon a challenge by any party to the validity of the proprietary property or intellectual property of another party. In the event of termination, all licenses to intellectual property (except licenses to patents solely owned by a party not related to any development program) will survive and continue on a royalty free basis.

 

Each party will be responsible for its own costs, expenses and liabilities incurred under the Agreement; however, ELITech and Wescor will be responsible for expenses related to the development of New Corgenix Assays and systems. We will invoice Wescor monthly in an amount equal to sixty percent (60%) of our actual development costs related to the new IT assays plus budgeted development- related overhead mutually agreed upon by the parties. Concurrently therewith, we will grant Wescor the right to purchase shares of our common stock at a par value of $0.001 per share in a total amount to equal sixty-six and 7/10 percent (66.7%) of the amount of each invoice at a per share price of $0.15. Wescor must purchase such shares within thirty (30) days. We will pay ELITech a royalty of seven percent (7%) of net product sales of new IT Assays sold by us.

 

As mentioned above, on July 14, 2011, we entered into the Loan Agreement with LSQ.

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, LSQ is providing the Line to us under which LSQ agrees to make loans to us in the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $1,500,000. The maximum amount of the loans under the Line shall also be

Interest accrues on the average outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Line at a rate equal to 0.043% per day.

 

Loans under the Line may be repaid and such repaid amounts re-borrowed until the maturity date. Unless terminated by us or accelerated by LSQ in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Line will terminate and all loans there under must be repaid on July 14, 2013.

 

The Loan Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default typical in financings of this type, including, for example, limitations on additional debt and investments and limitations on the sale of additional equity by us or other changes in our ownership. Please refer to the Loan Agreement for all such representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.

 

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, we granted to LSQ a security interest in all of our personal property to secure the repayment of the loans under the Line and all other of our obligations to LSQ, whether under the Loan Agreement or otherwise.

 

We have used the money we received under the Loan Agreement and the Line to payoff our outstanding debt obligations to Summit, which totaled $732,894 as of July 14, 2011, the date of payment. Such payment resulted in our indebtedness and obligations owing to Summit being terminated and satisfied in full.

 

On October 8, 2010, we closed the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Common Stock Purchase Agreement”) with Financière Elitech SAS, a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of France (“Elitech”), and Wescor, Inc., a Utah corporation and subsidiary of Elitech (“Wescor”), effective as of October 1, 2010.  As a condition to closing the Second Tranche, we transferred our product distribution activity outside of North America from our subsidiary, Corgenix U.K. Ltd., (“Corgenix UK”) to Elitech UK Limited, (“Elitech UK”), pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, effective as of October 1, 2010 by and among us, Corgenix U.K.and Elitech UK.  As an additional condition to closing the Second Tranche, Wescor purchased 1,666,667 shares of our common stock (the “Second Tranche Shares”) for $250,000, or $0.15 per share.  For no additional consideration, we issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 833,333 shares of our common stock at $0.15 per share (the “Second Tranche Warrant”).

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Second Tranche Warrant are not complete descriptions of all the terms of those agreements.  For a complete description of all the terms, we refer you to the full text of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, the Assignment and Assumption Agreement and the Second Tranche Warrant, copies of which were filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to the Form 8-K.

 

On October 8, 2010, we also completed a repurchase of 200,000 shares of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Repurchased Shares”) held by CAMOFI Master LDC, a Cayman Islands company (“CAMOFI”), for a purchase price of $50,000.  Pursuant to the Second Modification of Secured Convertible Term Notes dated January 29, 2009 by and between us and CAMOFI, the Repurchased Shares bore a $50,000 liquidation preference and were convertible into 800,000 shares of our common stock at the option of CAMOFI.  The repurchase was funded in part by cash on hand and in part by proceeds from the sale of the Second Tranche Shares.

 

On October 4, 2010, Corgenix UK entered into a letter agreement with Faunus Group International, Inc. (“FGI”), pursuant to which, among other things, Corgenix UK and FGI agreed to terminate that certain Receivables Finance Agreement dated March 29, 2010 by and between Corgenix UK and FGI (as amended, the “Agreement”), effective as of December 31, 2011.

 

Under the Agreement, Corgenix UK agreed to sell to FGI all of Corgenix UK’s right, title and interest in and to specified accounts receivable and all merchandise represented by those accounts.  In exchange, FGI advanced funds to the Company.

 

Contemporaneously with the termination of various agreements with CAMOFI and FGI referenced earlier in this report,, each of following agreements were terminated effective as of December 31, 2011: (a) Guaranty dated March 29, 2010 by and between the Company and FGI, (b) Guaranty dated March 29, 2010 by and between Corgenix Inc. and FGI, and (c) Debenture Agreement dated March 29, 2010 by and between Corgenix UK and FGI.  Corgenix UK paid FGI a termination fee of $25,000.

 

On July 12, 2010 we entered into the Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Elitech and Wescor.  In accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will purchase up to $2,000,000 of the Company’s common stock in three installments (subject to various conditions) and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares. Also, in connection with the Common Stock

Purchase Agreement, we entered into (i) a distribution agreement (“Master Distribution Agreement”) with Elitech UK and (ii) a joint product development agreement (“Joint Product Development Agreement”) with Elitech. The details of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Master Distribution Agreement, and Joint Product Development Agreement are outlined below.

 

The investment by Wescor took place over the maximum three tranches:

 

First Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the First Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on July 16, 2010, Wescor invested $1,250,000 to purchase 8,333,334 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration the Company issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 4,166,667 shares at $0.15 per share. The Company entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited and the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech, contemporaneously with the issuance of the First Tranche Shares.

 

Second Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, which took place on October 8, 2010, Wescor invested $250,000 to purchase 1,666,667 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 833,333 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Second Tranche, the Company will have effectively transferred its product distribution activity outside of North America from our subsidiary, Corgenix U.K. Ltd., to Elitech UK Limited.

 

Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Third Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, which took place on September 16, 2011, Wescor invested $500,000 to purchase 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement will have determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

 

In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, at the initial closing, which occurred on July 16, 2010, we entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK, and we entered into the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech. Under the terms and conditions of the Master Distribution Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the closing of the Second Tranche, Elitech UK became the exclusive distributor of the Company’s Products (as that term is defined therein) outside of North America. Accordingly, we along with Corgenix U.K. assigned and/or transferred the economic benefit to Elitech UK, and Elitech UK assumed all of the obligations of the Company or Corgenix U.K. under all distribution agreements executed by us or Corgenix U.K., as the case may be, related to any distributor whose territory is outside of North America.

 

(f)                                    Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At December 31, 2011, our working capital increased by $624,714 to $3,941,843 from $3,317,129 at June 30, 2011, and concurrently, our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) increased from 2.54 to 1 at June 30, 2011 to 4.63 to 1 at December 31, 2011. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the $500,000 third tranche investment by ELITech in addition to the substantial reduction in short term borrowings as evidenced by the revolving line of credit.

 

At December 31, 2011, there were trade and other receivables were $1,332,787 versus $1,554,423 at June 30, 2011. Accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued expenses decreased by a combined $82,944 to $937,142 from $1,020,086 at June 30, 2011. At December 31, 2011, inventories were $2,862,670, a slight increase versus $2,800,473 at June 30, 2011.

 

For the six months ended December 31, 2011, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $143,587, versus cash provided by operating activities of $108,444 for the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in the cash provided by operations for the current quarter resulted primarily from the substantially reduced net loss for the current period.

 

Net cash used by investing activities, the purchase of laboratory equipment, leasehold improvements and computer equipment, was $23,300 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $11,446 net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010.

 

Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $403,662 for the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $829,998 net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2010. This decrease versus the comparable prior year was primarily due to the significantly lower amount of proceeds from the issuance of common stock to ELITech in the current six month period versus the proceeds received in the prior period.

 

We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since our inception, net of accreted dividends on redeemable common and redeemable preferred stock, have aggregated $13,737,101 and there

can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through long-term debt, factoring of accounts receivables, and the sales of common stock, redeemable common stock, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. We have developed and are continuing to modify an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability, positive cash flow from operations, and an adequate level of financial liquidity. Key components of this plan include consistent revenue growth and the cash to be derived from such growth, as well as the expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, securing diagnostic-related government contracts and grants, improving operating efficiencies to reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering our overall operating expenses. If our sales were to decline, are flat, or achieve very slow growth, we would undoubtedly incur operating losses and a decreasing level of liquidity for that period of time. In view of this, and in order to further improve our liquidity and operating results, we entered into the ELITech collaboration and investment, described above.

 

The $2,000,000 ELITech common stock investment in addition to the LSQ $1,500,000 July 14, 2011 credit facility, in conjunction with our current revised forecasts, should provide adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months.

(h)                                 Contractual Obligations and Commitments

 

On February 8, 2006, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with York County, LLC, a California limited liability company (“York”) pursuant to which we leased approximately 32,000 rentable square feet (the “Property”) of York’s approximately 102,400 square foot building, commonly known as Broomfield One and located at 11575 Main Street, Broomfield, Colorado 80020. In 2008, the Property was sold to The Krausz Companies, Inc. a California corporation, aka KE Denver One, LLC (the “Landlord”), and is part of Landlord’s multi-tenant real property development known as the Broomfield Corporate Center. We use the Property for our headquarters, laboratory research and development facilities and production facilities. The Lease was amended on several occasions, as previously reported.

·                  For the period of May 1, 2016 through April 30, 2017, Base Rent will be $299,732.99 per annum payable in monthly installments of $24,977.75 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2017 through April 30, 2018, Base Rent will be $311,722.31 per annum payable in monthly installments of $25,976.86 per month.

 

·                  For the period of May 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019, Base Rent will be $324,191.20 per annum payable in monthly installments of $27,015.93 per month.

The Fifth Lease Amendment also establishes an amount to be paid to Landlord by us in the event of a default by us under the Lease. The payment due upon default by us will be $180,000 multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of months remaining in the term of the Lease, and the denominator of which is 96.

 

We have not invested in any real estate or real estate mortgages.

On September 16, 2011 we received the $500,000 from Wescor, pursuant to the Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor invested an additional $500,000 and is in turn to be issued 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement has determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement. The proceeds have been used for general working capital purposes. The shares and warrants offered under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”). The offer of such securities is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions not involving a public offering and Rule 506 promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act. A Form D was filed by the Company reporting additional information regarding the sale of the securities.

 

On July 28, 2011, we entered into a First Amended Joint Product Development Agreement (the “2011 Development Agreement”) with ELITech and Wescor. Pursuant to this agreement, each month we will notify Wescor of the amount of their stock purchase commitment, which is equal to sixty-six and 7/10 percent (66.7%) of the amount of each monthly R & D invoice at a per share price of $0.15. Wescor must purchase such shares within thirty (30) days of each notification. For the six months ended December 31, 2011, we issued 1,099,384 shares under this arrangement. The proceeds have been used for general working capital purposes.
