Note 1 - Company Organization and Description

 

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s April 30, 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

Biosynergy, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois on February 9, 1976. It is primarily engaged in the development and marketing of medical, consumer and industrial thermometric and thermographic products that utilize cholesteric liquid crystals. The Company’s primary product, the HemoTemp II Blood Monitoring Device, accounted for approximately 87.68% of the sales during the quarter ending January 31, 2014 and approximately 90.98 of the sales during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014. The products are sold to hospitals, clinical end-users, laboratories and product dealers located throughout the United States.

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Cash

 

The Company maintains all of its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced on such accounts.

 

Receivables

 

Receivables are carried at original invoice less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowances for doubtful accounts by reviewing and identifying troubled accounts on a periodic basis and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.

 

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed primarily on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; renewals and betterments which significantly extend the useful lives of existing equipment are capitalized. Significant leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease; equipment is depreciated over 3 to 10 years.

 
 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Prepaid Expenses

 

Certain expenses, primarily insurance and income taxes, have been prepaid and will be used within one year.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes net sales revenue upon the shipment of product to customers.

 

Research and Development and Patents

 

Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. The costs of obtaining patents, primarily legal fees, are capitalized and once obtained, amortized over the life of the respective patent on the straight-line method. Patents relate to products that have been developed and are being marketed by the Company. Patents pending relate to products under development.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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

 

Income (Loss) Per Common Share

 

Income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The Company has no outstanding options or other rights to acquire its unissued common shares.

 

Comprehensive Income

 

Components of comprehensive income include amounts that are included in the comprehensive income but are excluded from net income. During the quarter and nine months ending January 31, 2014 there were no differences between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income.

 
 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes related primarily to differences in the methods of accounting for patents, inventories, certain accrued expenses and bad debt expenses for financial and income tax purposes. The deferred income taxes represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be taxable in the future.

 

The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and with the state of Illinois. Various tax years remain open to examinations although there are currently no ongoing tax examinations. Management’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expenses.

 

The provision for income taxes consists of the following components as of January 31:

 

    2014    2013 
Current          
     Federal  $18,193   $29,185 
     State   7,091    11,115 
Provision for Income Taxes  $25,284   $40,300 

 

 

The differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows:

 

   Nine Months ended January 31,
   2014  2013
U.S. federal statutory tax rate   34.0%   34.0%
State income tax expense, net of
Federal tax benefit
   5.0    5.0 
Adjustment for prior year estimates   (5.0)   —   
Effect of graduated federal tax rates
and other
   (0.8)   (5.3)
Effective Tax Rate   33.2%   33.7%

 

 

 
 

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in Accounting Standards Certification (ASC). There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASCs. Those ASUs recently issued either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

 

Note 3 – Inventories

 

Components of inventories are as follows:

 

   January 31,

   $135,437   $139,424 

 

Note 4 – Common Stock

 

The Company’s common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market. However, there is no established public trading market due to limited and sporadic trades. The Company’s common stock is not listed on a recognized market or stock exchange.

(1)Effective December 13, 2013, Fred K. Suzuki and Jeanne S. Addis, Trustee, gifted 3,051 shares each of F.K. Suzuki International, Inc. (“FKSI”) common stock to Laurence C. Mead. As a result of these gifts, Laurence C. Mead currently owns 10,102 shares, or approximately 10% of the outstanding common stock of FKSI.

 

 

As of January 31, 2014, $19,699 was due from F. K. Suzuki International, Inc. These balances result from an allocation of common expenses charged to FKSI prior to April 30, 2006 offset by advances received from time to time. No interest income is received or accrued by the Company. The financial condition of FKSI is such that it will unlikely be able to repay the Company during the next year without liquidating a portion of its assets, including a portion of its ownership in the Company. As a result, the receivable balance has been reclassified as a contra equity account since April 30, 2006.

 

Note 6 - Major Customers

 

Shipments to one customer amounted to 34.87% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 compared to 34.40% during the comparative Fiscal 2013 period. As of January 31, 2014, there were outstanding accounts receivable from this customer of $69,534 compared to $68,200 at January 31, 2013. Shipments to another customer amounted to 28.65% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2014 and 29.14% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2013. As of January 31, 2014, there were outstanding accounts receivable from this customer of $26,835 compared to $28,655 at January 31, 2013.

 

 
 

Item 2. Management’s Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Net Sales/Revenues

 

For the three month period ending January 31, 2014 (“3rd Quarter”), the net sales decreased 11.9%, or $36,895, and decreased .91%, or $8,610, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014, as compared to net sales for the comparative periods ending in 2013. This decrease in sales is primarily the result of lower demand for HemoTempR II. At January 31, 2014 there were $38,500 in HemoTempR II back orders and $31,100 at January 31, 2013. The Company filled all back orders by the end of February, 2014.

 

In addition, during the 3rd Quarter the Company had $617 of miscellaneous revenues primarily from interest income and leasing a portion of its storage space to an unrelated party as compared to $709 in the prior year.

 

Costs and Expenses

General

 

The operating expenses of the Company during the 3rd Quarter decreased overall by 5.59%, or $10,324, as compared to the 3rd quarter in 2013 primarily due to a decrease in health insurance costs and legal fees. The operating expenses of the Company increased by .25%, or $1,401, for the nine month period ending January 31, 2014, primarily due to salary increases which were offset by reduced health insurance costs and legal fees.

 

Cost of Sales

 

The cost of sales during the 3rd Quarter increased by $5,193, and increased by $32,948 during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014 as compared to these expenses during the same periods ending in 2013. The increase during the 3rd Quarter was primarily due to increased salaries, employee benefits, raw material costs and Medical Device Excise Tax. As part of the Affordable Care Act enacted in March, 2010, the Congress imposed an excise tax of 2.3%, which in the case of the Company applies to the sale of all its products (other than replacement parts for the Company’s electronic products) after December 31, 2012. As a percentage of sales, the cost of sales were 36.93% during the 3rd Quarter, 30.86% for the comparative quarter ending in 2013, and 32.57% during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014 compared to 28.81% in 2013. Subject to unanticipated changes in the price of raw materials or extraordinary occurrences, it is not anticipated that the cost of sales as a percentage of sales will materially change in the near future.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and Development costs increased $2,985, or 8.09%, during the 3rd Quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2013. These costs increased by $17,181, or 18.53%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The overall increase in research and development expense is due primarily to an increase in salaries, employee benefits and an increase in the FDA user fee. The Company is continuing its investigation and development of other products including certain compounds for use as bacteria retardant agents for use in food and other materials prone to incubate bacteria. The Company is uncertain how much of its resources will be required to complete its investigation and development of these products.

 

Marketing Expenses

 

Marketing expenses for the 3rd Quarter decreased by $6,688, or 12.47%, as compared to the quarter ending January 31, 2013. These costs decreased by $12,568, or 8.06%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease is due to employees voluntarily opting out of the Company’s medical insurance plan and reduced production of artwork for product promotion.

 
 

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative costs for the 3rd Quarter decreased by $6,621, or 7.03%, as compared to the 3rd quarter ending January 31, 2013, primarily due to a decrease in legal fees and office supplies. General and administrative costs have decreased overall by $3,212, or 1.03%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014, as compared to the same periods in 2013, primarily due to lower legal fees.

 

Net Income

 

The Company realized a net loss of $3,096 during the 3rd Quarter as compared to a net income of $20,064 for the comparative quarter in the prior year. The Company also realized a net income of $50,965 for the nine month period ending January 31, 2014 as compared to a net income of $79,213 during the same period in 2013. The decrease in net income is due to a decrease in net sales and an increase in costs of goods sold related to higher employee costs, raw material costs and the Medical Devise Excise Taxes (partially offset by a decrease in overall operating expenses).

 

Assets/Liabilities

General

 

Since April 30, 2013, the Company's assets have increased by $18,926 and liabilities have decreased by $32,039. The increase in assets, primarily cash, is a result of the Company’s continued profitability and cash generated from operations.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

The Company was owed $19,699 by F.K. Suzuki International, Inc. ("FKSI"), an affiliate, at January 31, 2014 and April 30, 2013. This account primarily represents common expenses which were previously charged by the Company to FKSI for reimbursement. No interest is received or accrued by the Company. Collectability of the amounts due from FKSI since April 30, 2006 could not be assured without the liquidation of all or a portion of its assets, including a portion of its common stock of the Company. As a result, as of April 30, 2006, all of the amount owed by FKSI to the Company was reclassified as a reduction of FKSI’s capital in the Company.

 

Current Assets/Liabilities Ratio

 

The ratio of current assets to current liabilities, 25.43 to 1, has increased compared to 14.94 to 1 at April 30, 2013. This increase in ratio of current assets to current liabilities is a result of increased cash and reduction in accruals. In order to maintain or improve the Company’s asset/liabilities ratio, the Company’s operations must remain profitable.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

During the nine month period ending January 31, 2014, the Company experienced an increase in working capital of $25,466. This is primarily due to the Company’s increase in cash and a decrease in accrued expenses.

 

The Company has attempted to conserve working capital whenever possible. To this end, the Company attempts to keep inventory at minimum levels. The Company believes that it will be able to maintain adequate inventory to supply its customers on a timely basis by careful planning and forecasting demand for its products. However, the Company is nevertheless required to carry a minimum amount of finished inventory and raw materials to meet the delivery requirements of customers and thus, inventory represents a material portion of the Company’s investment in current assets.

 

The Company presently grants payment terms to customers and dealers of 30 days. Although the Company experiences varying collection periods of its accounts receivable, based on past experience, the Company believes that uncollectable accounts receivable will not have a significant effect on future liquidity.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $83,862 during the nine month period ending January 31, 2014. An aggregate of $32,324 was used for equipment purchases and patent application expenditures during this same period. Except for its operating working capital, limited equipment purchases and patent expenses, management is not aware of any other material capital requirements or material contingencies for which it must provide. There were no cash flows from financing activities during the nine month periods ending January 31, 2014 or 2013.

 

As of January 31, 2014, the Company had $1,144,920 of current assets available. Of this amount, $26,903 was prepaid expenses, $135,437 was inventory, $135,019 was net trade receivables and $847,561 was cash. The Company’s available cash and cash flow from operations is considered adequate to fund the short-term operating capital needs of the Company. The Company does not have a working line of credit, and does not anticipate obtaining a working line of credit in the near future. There is a risk financing may be necessary to fund long-term capital needs of the Company.

 

Effects of Inflation. With the exception of inventory and labor costs increasing with inflation, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s revenues and income from continuing operations in the past three years. Inflation is not expected to have a material effect in the foreseeable future.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. On December 12, 2001, the SEC issued FR-60 “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies.” FR-60 is an intermediate step to alert companies to the need for greater investor awareness of the sensitivity of financial statements to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying their preparation, including the judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.

 

The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements for the 3rd Quarter. See “Financial Statements.” Except as noted below, the impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation would not have been materially different had the Company reported under different conditions or used different assumptions. The policies which may have materially affected the financial position and results of operations of the Company if such information had been reported under different circumstances or assumptions are:

 

Use of Estimates - preparation of financial statements and conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial condition of the Company and results of operations may differ from the estimates and assumptions made by management in preparation of the Financial Statements accompanying this report.

 

Allowance for Bad Debts - The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral to support amounts due from the sale of its products. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its best estimate of collectability of accounts receivable.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This report may contain statements which, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements for reasons including, but not limited to, changes to and developments in the legislative and regulatory environments effecting the Company’s business, the impact of competitive products and services, changes in the medical and laboratory industries caused by various factors, risks inherit in marketing new products, as well as other factors as set forth in this report. Thus, such forward-looking statements should not be relied upon to indicate the actual results which might be obtained by the Company. No representation or warranty of any kind is given with respect to the accuracy of such forward-looking information. The forward-looking information has been prepared by the management of the Company and has not been reviewed or compiled by independent public accountants.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Historically, the Company’s primary exposure to market risk has been interest rate risk associated with its short term money market investments. The Company currently does not have any money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. Thus, the Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates. The Company’s operations are not exposed to financial risk that will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operation.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) which are controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s Fiscal Quarter ending January 31, 2014 that have materially affected or are likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
