Notes to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011

 

1.Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are those of IsoRay, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (IsoRay or the Company). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the prior-year financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and notes to the interim consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of IsoRay, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related footnotes as set forth in the Company’s annual report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.

 

The results of operations for the periods presented may not be indicative of those which may be expected for a full year.  The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate for the information not to be misleading.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period and the disclosures of contingent liabilities.  Accordingly, ultimate results could differ materially from those estimates. The Company anticipates that as the result of continuing operating losses and the significant net operating losses available from prior fiscal years, its effective income tax rate for fiscal year 2012 will be 0%.

 

2.New Accounting Pronouncements

 

From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) or other standards setting bodies that are adopted by us as of the specified effective dates. Unless otherwise discussed, we believe the impact of recently issued standards that are not yet effective will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows upon adoption.

 

3.Loss per Share

 

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, and does not include the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents. Common stock equivalents, including warrants and options to purchase the Company's common stock, are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations when their effect is antidilutive. At March 31, 2012 and 2011, the calculation of diluted weighted average shares did not include preferred stock, common stock warrants, or options that are potentially convertible into common stock as those would be antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position.

 

4
 

 

Securities not considered in the calculation of diluted weighted average shares, but that could be dilutive in the future as of March 31, 2012 and 2011, were as follows:

 

   March 31, 
   2012   2011 
Preferred stock   59,065    59,065 
Common stock warrants   2,390,062    3,819,185 
Common stock options   2,280,706    2,146,372 
           
Total potential dilutive securities   4,729,833    6,024,622 

 

4.Inventory

 

Inventory consisted of the following at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011:

 

   March 31,   June 30, 
   2012   2011 
Raw materials  $257,879   $625,394 
Work in process   112,720    120,180 
Finished goods   70,595    4,275 
           
   $441,194   $749,849 

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company reclassified its stock of enriched barium from inventory classified as a current asset to other inventory classified as a non-current asset. The Company does not expect to consume the enriched barium during the current operating cycle, however, in the future the Company will classify the portion of the inventory that is forecast to be consumed during an operating cycle as raw material within inventory.

 

5.Share-Based Compensation

 

The following table presents the share-based compensation expense recognized during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:

  

   Three months   Nine months 
   ended March 31,   ended March 31, 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
Cost of product sales  $12,090   $8,470   $36,270   $25,410 
Research and development expenses   7,630    5,409    22,890    16,229 
Sales and marketing expenses   2,606    96    7,818    7,790 
General and administrative expenses   10,864    6,398    32,592    19,193 
Total share-based compensation  $33,190   $20,373   $99,570   $68,622 

 

As of March 31, 2012, total unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based options was $174,032 and the related weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately 0.89 years.

A summary of stock options within the Company’s share-based compensation plans as of March 31, 2012 was as follows:

 

           Weighted     
       Weighted   Average     
      Average   Remaining   Aggregate 
   Number of   Exercise   Contractual   Intrinsic 
   Options   Price   Term   Value 
            (Years)     
Outstanding at March 31, 2012   2,280,706   $1.85    5.70   $127,101 
Vested and expected to vest at                    
March 31, 2012   2,189,208   $1.90    5.65   $115,186 
Vested and exercisable at                    
March 31, 2012   1,875,615   $2.07    5.45   $99,400 

 

There were 5,200 options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and no options exercised during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The Company’s current policy is to issue new shares to satisfy option exercises. The intrinsic value of the employee options exercised was $ 2,964.

 

No stock option awards were granted during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

6.Commitments and Contingencies

 

Patent and Know-How Royalty License Agreement

 

The Company is the holder of an exclusive license to use certain “know-how” developed by one of the founders of a predecessor to the Company and licensed to the Company by the Lawrence Family Trust, a Company shareholder. The terms of this license agreement require the payment of a royalty based on the Net Factory Sales Price, as defined in the agreement, of licensed product sales. Because the licensor’s patent application was ultimately abandoned, only a 1% “know-how” royalty based on Net Factory Sales Price, as defined in the agreement, remains applicable. To date, management believes that there have been no product sales incorporating the “know-how” and therefore no royalty is due pursuant to the terms of the agreement. Management believes that ultimately no royalties should be paid under this agreement as there is no intent to use this “know-how” in the future.

 

The licensor of the “know-how” has disputed management’s contention that it is not using this “know-how”. On September 25, 2007 and again on October 31, 2007, the Company participated in nonbinding mediation regarding this matter; however, no settlement was reached with the Lawrence Family Trust. After additional settlement discussions, which ended in April 2008, the parties failed to reach a settlement. The parties may demand binding arbitration at any time.

7.Fair Value Measurements

 

The table below sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, and the fair value calculation input hierarchy level the Company has determined applies to each asset and liability category. 

 

   Balance at   Balance at   Input 
Description  March 31, 2012   June 30, 2011   Hierarchy Level 
Assets:               
Cash and cash equivalents  $2,524,397   $2,112,254    Level 1 
                
Liabilities:               
Warrant liability  $104,905   $-    Level 2 

 

8.Preferred Dividends

 

On December 16, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a dividend on the Series B Preferred Stock of all currently payable and accrued outstanding and cumulative dividends through December 31, 2011 in the amount of $10,632. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock were last paid on December 31, 2010 as declared by the Board of Directors on December 8, 2010 in the amount of $10,632. The dividends outstanding and cumulative through December 31, 2011 of $10,632 and through December 31, 2010 of $10,632 were paid as of those dates.

 

As of March 31, 2012, there were accrued dividends on Series B Preferred Stock outstanding in the amount of $2,658.

 

9.Shareholders’ Equity

 

Common stock transactions

 

On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement with WestPark Capital, Inc. as managing underwriter for a best efforts all or nothing underwritten registered offering of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an offering price to the public of $0.92 per share. With every five shares of common stock purchased, the purchaser received a warrant to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of $1.058 with a five year term for a total of 500,003 warrants issued in the initial transaction. Under the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the Company also granted the underwriters a 45 day option to sell up to an additional 1,027,173 shares of Common Stock (with warrants to purchase up to an additional 205,435 shares of common stock) to cover over-allotments, if any, at the offering price. There were 317,988 shares of common stock sold from the over-allotment and 63,598 warrants issued as part of the sale of the over-allotment shares. None of the warrants from either the initial sale of shares of common stock or from those sold as part of the over-allotment sale of shares of common stock have been exercised. The gross proceeds to the Company from the sale of the initial 2.5 million shares of common stock were $2,300,000 and there were net proceeds to the Company of $2,013,363, adjusted for costs described in the table below. Gross proceeds from the over-allotment sale of 317,988 shares of common stock were $292,549 and net proceeds were $261,123, adjusted for costs described in the table below.

   October 19, 2011   December 7, 2011     
   Registered offering   Over-allotment   Total 
Gross cash proceeds  $2,300,000   $292,549   $2,592,549 
Underwriting costs 1   140,087    15,696    155,783 
Legal costs   100,050    14,231    114,281 
Other costs   46,500    1,500    48,000 
Net cash proceeds  $2,013,363   $261,122    2,274,485 

 

1 – Underwriting costs include commissions paid directly to the underwriter and underwriting fees.

 

Warrant liability and related offering cost deferral

 

Based on the guidance contained in ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, management has concluded that the warrants issued in the initial transaction and in the over-allotment transaction should be classified as a derivative liability and has recorded a liability at fair value. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes fair value model. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants to be $484,000 on the date of the offering. The Company has recognized a gain on the change in fair value of $379,095 in the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

10.Related Party Transaction

 

During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company continued to engage the services of APEX Data Systems, Inc., owned by Dwight Babcock, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, to modify and maintain the Company’s web interfaced data collection application to aggregate patient data in a controlled environment. The Board of Directors approved the use of the ongoing services of APEX Data Systems. Mr. Babcock recused himself due to his conflict of interest. The cost recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 from APEX Data Systems, Inc. to build a web interfaced data collection application was $14,070 for which entries were recorded as capitalized, net of accumulated amortization. An additional $15,000 was expended on the maintenance of the web interfaced data collection applications in combination with the updating of the Company website.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations are based upon its consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, management evaluates past judgments and estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, accrued liabilities, derivative liabilities and contingencies. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The accounting policies and related risks described in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 28, 2011 are those that depend most heavily on these judgments and estimates. As of March 31, 2012, there had been no material changes to any of the critical accounting policies contained therein.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to three months ended March 31, 2011.

 

Revenues. The overall decrease in revenue generated by prostate brachytherapy is consistent with revenue decreases experienced by this segment of the industry as a whole, however, the strategy implemented by management in the prior year in diversifying the number of body sites being actively treated with the Proxcelan Cs-131 brachytherapy seed has continued to mitigate some of the decreased revenue from the prostate segment of the business. These newer brachytherapy product sales (including brain, lung and those reported as other) are in the early stages of application in the clinical setting and their purchasing patterns are subject to the influence of a few key physicians who can significantly influence revenue from quarter to quarter. The newer brachytherapy product sales reported as “other” represent more developmental applications of our product which may not lead to either a long term revenue source or a significant product line and therefore revenue fluctuation in this segment is expected to be subject to more significant variation from quarter to quarter. Company management intends to actively pursue alternative uses for the Company’s brachytherapy seeds in treatments consistent with the FDA clearance granted permitting the Company to utilize other FDA cleared application methods as a means of administering the treatments.

 

Management believes that the overall market for prostate brachytherapy has continued to receive increased pressure from other treatment options with higher reimbursement rates such as Intensity –Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Robotics but management believes that combining treatments incorporating brachytherapy with other modalities in the prostate and treatment of other body sites with brachytherapy have the potential to continue to increase.

 

The Company made the first U.S. sales of its recently FDA cleared GliaSite Radiation Therapy System (GliaSite RTS) for use in clinical treatment during the three months ended December 31, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, all product sales were generated by the brachytherapy seeds and the related methods of application except for the revenue generated by the sales of GliaSite RTS which result from the sale of the Iotrex solution, catheter trays and access trays. In late April, the Company received its CE mark clearing its and its distributor’s ability to sell and distribute the GliaSite RTS in the European Union. This was the final hurdle to permit sales of GliaSite RTS in Europe and management believes that sales will begin in the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Cost of product sales.

 

Cost of product sales for the production of brachytherapy seeds increased marginally in the three months ended March 31, 2012 when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The increase in brachytherapy seed cost of products was influenced by three key operating factors, material cost, payroll and benefits cost, and pre-loading expense.

 

The cost of product sales for the GliaSite RTS products was segregated from overall cost of product sales during the three months ended March 31, 2012, as sales of the GliaSite RTS products and related production costs increased over the three months ended December 31, 2011 when the product was introduced in the U.S. market.

 

The key operating factors that changed in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 were a decrease in materials cost offset by increases in payroll and benefits cost, and pre-load cost, along with the addition of the cost of producing the new GliaSite RTS products. Materials cost decreased primarily as a result of a reduction in the Company’s estimate and the related accrual to dispose of the radioactive waste created in the production of the brachytherapy seeds that the Company sells based on the Company’s actual experience in disposing of some waste during the three months ended March 31, 2012. Payroll and benefits cost increased as the result of decreased research and development efforts that utilized labor from the production staff. The production staff is at levels that management has determined to be appropriate to meet customer demands for orders in a timely manner. Pre-load costs increased as the result of increased consumption of loading supplies as the number of customers utilizing the Company’s loading services continues to increase. The addition of the GliaSite RTS products created additional production costs related to the isotope utilized and the related treatment components.

Research and development. Research and development costs were decreased by three key operating factors for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. These key operating factors were decreased legal expense, other organ research and payroll and benefits in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company was granted a patent in India for which the costs had not been capitalized reducing legal expense as a result of capitalizing the patent, and other organ research along with payroll and benefits cost were reduced as the majority of the projects pursued in the prior fiscal year had been concluded.

Research and development reimbursement. The research and development reimbursement was influenced by a single key operating factor for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. This key operating factor was the existence of an IRS grant in fiscal year 2011 for research and development which did not continue into fiscal year 2012.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses increased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as the result of two operating factors.

 

The two operating factors that influenced the increase in sales and marketing expenses were marketing and advertising expense which decreased as the result of the reversal of an accrued expense when management determined it was no longer applicable and travel which increased primarily as a result of increased activity by the sales force in developing new customers in both the brachytherapy seed and GliaSite markets.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of three key operating factors. The first key operating factor was a reduction in bad debt expense in the three months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. The reduction in bad debt expense was the direct result of the resolution of several outstanding items with specific customers during the three months ended March 31, 2012. The second key operating factor was legal expense that decreased as the result of the cost of renegotiating warrants that occurred in the three months ended March 31, 2011 and did not recur in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The third key operating factor was payroll and benefits which increased during the three months ended March 31, 2012 as the result of labor previously allocated to research and development and the addition of a staff member to an open position.

Operating loss. Operating loss for the three months ended March 31, 2012 increased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of decreased revenue generated from the sales of brachytherapy seeds for the treatment of prostate cancer partially offset by the overall reduction in research and development spending that led to an overall reduction in operating expenses.

Gain / (loss) on fair value of warrant liability. During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, there were warrant liabilities established upon issuance of warrants during October 2011 to December 2011 to the purchasers in the Company’s registered offering and warrants issued to the purchaser in the Company’s registered public offering during November 2010. The warrant liability requires periodic evaluation for changes in fair value. As required at March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the Company evaluated the fair value of the warrant liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and applied updated inputs as of those dates. The resulting change in fair value was recorded as of March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.

The Company made the first U.S. sales of its recently FDA cleared GliaSite RTS for use in clinical treatment and sold an additional inventory of catheters to the same customer for use in future cases during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. All product sales are from brachytherapy seeds except for the revenue generated by the sales of GliaSite RTS, which results from sale of the Iotrex solution, catheter trays and access trays. In late April, the Company received its CE mark clearing its and its distributor’s ability to sell and distribute the GliaSite RTS in the European Union.

Cost of product sales. Cost of product sales overall remain approximately unchanged for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The cost of producing brachytherapy seeds decreased during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 by an insignificant amount. The Company incurred costs for the production of the GliaSite RTS product line for the first time during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The Company utilized existing production staff to support research and development efforts that have been undertaken during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, however, these efforts were less than for the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Research and development. Research and development costs were increased by a single key operating factor for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The key operating factor was protocol expense which increased as the result of the Company determining in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 that several protocols were accrued beyond their expected obligations, leading to a reduction in the accrued expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company accrued costs in accordance with its updated agreements with participating facilities. The adjustment recorded in fiscal year 2011 is expected to be non-recurring in nature.

Sales and marketing expenses. Sales and marketing expenses decreased in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of the change in three key operating factors. The key operating factor of marketing and advertising decreased as the result of the reversal of an accrued expense when management determined a claim no longer existed in combination with a more targeted use of trade publications. The key operating factor of payroll, benefits and share-based compensation decreased as the direct result of the Chief Executive Officer directly managing the sales team, replacing the leadership of the former Vice-President of Sales, while the reduction in payroll, benefits and share-based compensation was partially offset by the Company adding another active sales member. Travel expense increased during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as the result of the addition of a sales team member in the field and the addition of the new GliaSite RTS products which required more travel expense due to its introduction to the market.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of four key operating factors. The first key operating factor was bad debt expense which decreased as collection efforts improved. The second key operating factor, legal expense, decreased as the result of warrant negotiations that occurred during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 that did not recur during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The third key operating factor, other expense, decreased as the Company incurred a non-recurring charge for a business and occupation tax credit that was rescinded by the State of Washington as the Company no longer qualified to receive the credit and did not ultimately meet the criteria for the credit during the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The fourth key operating factor was payroll, benefits and share-based compensation which increased as the result of labor which was allocated to research and development projects in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and the addition of a staff member to an open position.

Operating loss. Operating loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was increased compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 primarily as a result of reduced sales coupled with a significant increase in research and development costs as management continues to invest in projects that diversify the treatment sites available for the application of the Company’s brachytherapy seeds and the expiration of an IRS grant that expired at June 30, 2011 which was recorded in research and development reimbursement in the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Interest income. Interest income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was reduced compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as a direct result of reduced cash and cash equivalent balances when coupled with reduced short-term interest rates.

Gain on fair value of warrant liability. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, there were warrant liabilities established upon issuance of warrants to the purchasers in the Company’s registered offering during October 2011 to December 2011 and the registered public offering during November 2010. The warrant liability requires periodic evaluation for changes in fair value. At March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the Company evaluated the fair value of the warrant liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and applied updated inputs as of those dates. The resulting change in fair value was recorded as of March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011.

Financing and interest expense. Financing and interest expense for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 increased when compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011 as a direct result of equity offerings and the related amortization of deferred offering costs.

Liquidity and capital resources. The Company has historically financed its operations through cash investments from shareholders. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, the Company primarily used existing cash reserves to fund its operations and capital expenditures.

 

Cash flows from operating activities

 

Cash used by operating activities is the net loss adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Management continued to reduce cash consumed in operating activities through a combination of cost reductions and operational efficiencies identified in the results of operations that resulted in an increase in the net loss, which when reduced by the non-cash items and non-cash changes in operating assets and liabilities, resulted in an overall reduction in net cash used by operating activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 when compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011.

Cash flows from investing activities

 

Cash used by investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was primarily an investment in equipment that was required to produce inventory related to the GliaSite RTS and in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was primarily the result of the investment in equipment related to research and development activities in support of the IRS Qualifying Therapeutic Device Program grant research. The amounts recorded to restricted cash in both periods are the accrual of interest earned on certificates of deposit with two financial institutions that are a requirement of the Washington State Department of Health.

Cash flows from financing activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011 was the result of sales of common stock in at-the-market transactions, through warrant exercises, a registered direct offering and a best efforts all or nothing underwritten offering. Cash used during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was the result of dividend payments to the preferred shareholders. Cash used during the nine months ended March 31, 2011 was the result of dividend payments to the preferred shareholders and payments to extinguish the debt facility with HAEIFC.

Projected Fiscal Year 2012 Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31, 2012, the Company held cash and cash equivalents of $2,524,397 as compared to $2,112,254 at June 30, 2011.

 

The Company had approximately $2.32 million of cash and cash equivalents and no short-term investments as of May 2, 2012. The Company’s monthly required cash operating expenditures were approximately $203,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2012, which represents a 1% increase of approximately $2,000 in average monthly cash operating expenditures in the nine months ended March 31, 2011. Management forecasts that less than $100,000 will be spent on capital expenditures for fiscal year 2012, but there is no assurance that unanticipated needs for capital equipment may not arise.

 

The Company intends to continue its existing protocol studies and to begin new protocol studies on lung cancer treatment using Cesium-131. The Company continues to believe that approximately $100,000 in expense will be incurred during fiscal year 2012 related to protocol expenses relating to lung cancer and dual therapy and mono therapy prostate protocols but there is no assurance that unanticipated needs for additional protocols in support of the development of new applications of our existing products may not arise.

 

Based on the foregoing assumptions, management believes cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $2.32 million on hand at May 2, 2012 will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for operations and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next twelve months assuming both revenue and expenses remain at current levels.

 

Management plans to attain breakeven and generate additional cash flows by increasing revenues from both new and existing customers (through our direct sales channels and through our distributors), increasing sales of its GliaSite RTS, and expanding into other market applications which initially will include head and neck, colorectal and lung implants, while maintaining the Company's focus on cost control. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will attain profitability or that the Company will be able to attain increases in its revenue. Sales in the prostate market have not shown the increases necessary to breakeven during the past four fiscal years and continued to decrease during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

 

For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, revenue from other treatment modalities with brachytherapy seeds has increased 27% when compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011. When including the revenue from the sale of GliaSite RTS, revenue from non-prostate treatments increased 51% in the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011. These non-prostate brachytherapy treatments are in the early stages of application in the clinical setting and their purchasing patterns are subject to the influence of a few key physicians which can significantly influence revenue from quarter to quarter.

There was no material change in the use of proceeds from our public offerings as described in our final prospectus supplements filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) on November 24, 2010 and October 13, 2011. Through March 31, 2012, the Company had used $1,909,154 of the net proceeds raised through the November 2010 offering and had invested the remaining net proceeds in cash and cash equivalents. Through March 31, 2012, the Company had not used any of the net proceeds raised through the October and December 2011 offerings and had invested the net proceeds in cash and cash equivalents. No offering expenses were paid directly or indirectly to any of our directors or officers (or their associates) or persons owning ten percent or more of any class of our equity securities or to any other affiliates.

 

The Company expects to finance its future cash needs through sales of equity, possible strategic collaborations, debt financing or through other sources that may be dilutive to existing shareholders Management anticipates that if it raises additional financing that it will be at a discount to the market price and it will be dilutive to shareholders. Of course, funding may not be available to it on acceptable terms, or at all. If the Company is unable to raise additional funds, it may be unable to expand into new applications and may need to curtail operations.

 

Other Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to various local, state, and federal environmental regulations and laws due to the isotopes used to produce the Company’s products. As part of normal operations, amounts are expended to ensure that the Company is in compliance with these laws and regulations. While there have been no reportable incidents or compliance issues, the Company believes that if it relocates its current production facilities then certain decommissioning expenses will be incurred. An asset retirement obligation was established in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 for the Company’s obligations at its current production facility. This asset retirement obligation will be for obligations to remove any residual radioactive materials and to remove all leasehold improvements.

 

The industry that the Company operates in is subject to product liability litigation. Through its production and quality assurance procedures, the Company works to mitigate the risk of any lawsuits concerning its products. The Company also carries product liability insurance to help protect it from this risk.

 

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

ITEM 3 – QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide Part I, Item 3 disclosure in this Quarterly Report.

 

ITEM 4 – CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of March 31, 2012. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. However, management believes that our system of disclosure controls and procedures is designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance that the objectives of the system will be met.

 

23
 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

The Company is continuing the process of developing and implementing the remediation plan to address the material weakness and significant deficiency identified in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.

Progress made on this plan in the three months ended March 31, 2012 is as follows:

 

·The Company has hired an accounting professional who is a certified public accountant to fill the open position to allow the Company to continue to the process of remediating the issues previously identified.
·The Company plans to continue to enhance staff knowledge through continued training and periodic reviews.

 

As a result of ongoing reviews of all significant and non-routine transactions, management believes that there are no material inaccuracies or omissions of material fact and to the best of its knowledge believes that the consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations for the Company in conformity with U.S generally accepted accounting principles.

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1A – RISK FACTORS

 

There have been no material changes for the risk factors disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011, except as set forth below:

 

Failure to Comply with NYSE Amex Listing Standards And Any Resulting Delisting Could Adversely Affect The Market For Our Common Stock. Our common stock is presently listed on the NYSE Amex. The NYSE Amex will consider delisting a company's securities if, among other things, the company fails to maintain minimum stockholders equity or the company has sustained losses which are so substantial in relation to its overall operations or its existing financial resources, or its financial condition has become so impaired that it appears questionable, in the opinion of the NYSE Amex, as to whether such issuer will be able to continue operations and/or meet its obligations as they mature. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our listing on the NYSE Amex indefinitely. If we do not raise additional capital, we expect to fall below the minimum stockholders equity requirement for the quarter ending June 30, 2012. In the event that our common stock is delisted from the NYSE Amex, trading, if any, in the common stock would be conducted in the over-the-counter market. As a result, our shareholders would likely find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

 

Use of Proceeds from Registered Securities

 

On October 27, 2009, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 to register securities up to $15 million in value for future issuance in our capital raising activities. The registration statement became effective on November 13, 2009, and the Commission file number assigned to the registration statement is 333-162694.

 

There was no material change in the use of proceeds from our November 2010 public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) on November 24, 2010. Through March 31, 2012, we had begun to use the net proceeds from our public offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) and as further described in the table below, and invested the remaining net proceeds in cash and cash equivalents.

 

Proceeds used in the nine months ended March 31, 2012:     
Purchase and installation of machinery and equipment  $20,800 
Indirect payments to directors and officers for database development   5,200 
Direct payments of salaries to directors and officers   632,216 
Working capital   1,250,938 
Total proceeds used in the nine months ended March 31, 2012:  $1,909,154 

 

On July 12, 2011, the holder of the Series C warrants issued in the November 2010 offering exercised Series C warrants in the exercise amount of $40,244 in exchange for 50,000 shares of common stock with an exercise price of $0.81. As of March 31, 2012, none of the proceeds from the warrant exercise had been used.

 

There was no material change in the use of proceeds from our October 19, 2011 registered offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) on October 13, 2011. Through March 31, 2012, we had not begun to use the net proceeds from this registered offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) and had invested all net proceeds in cash and cash equivalents.

 

There was no material change in the use of proceeds from the December 7, 2011 over-allotment closing for the October 2011 registered offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) on October 13, 2011. Through March 31, 2012, we had not begun to use the net proceeds from this registered offering as described in our final prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) and had invested all net proceeds in cash and cash equivalents.
