Parametric Sound Corporation

Notes to Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

March 31, 2013

 

Note 1—Description of Business and Basis of Accounting/Presentation

 

Parametric Sound Corporation (“Parametric Sound” or the “Company”) is a technology company focused on delivering novel audio solutions through its HyperSound™ or “HSS®” technology platform, which pioneered the practical application of parametric acoustic technology for generating audible sound along a directional ultrasonic column. The creation of sound using the Company’s technology also creates a unique sound image distinct from traditional audio systems. In addition to its commercial product business, the Company is targeting its technology for new uses in consumer markets including computers, video gaming, televisions, home audio, electronic gaming, health care, movies and cinema and mobile devices.

 

The Company was incorporated in Nevada on June 2, 2010 as a new, wholly owned subsidiary of LRAD Corporation in order to effect the separation and 100% spin-off of the HSS business (the “Spin-Off”). On September 27, 2010, the Spin-Off was completed and the Company became a stand-alone, independent, publicly traded company. In June 2012 the Company formed PSC Licensing Corp. (“PSC”) and in October 2012 formed HyperSound Health, Inc. (“HHI”) both as wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Poway, California. Principal markets for the Company’s products are North America, Europe and Asia.

 

Basis of Accounting

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments necessary in order make the financial statements not misleading. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 was derived from the Company’s most recent audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures provided by GAAP for complete annual financial statements. The financial statements herein should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2013 may not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period in or for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2013.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Where necessary, the prior year’s information has been reclassified to conform to current period statement presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or accumulated deficit.

 

On March 21, 2012, the Company completed a 1-for-5 reverse split of its common stock. All common stock share and per share information in the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto have been adjusted to reflect retrospective application of the reverse stock split, except for par value per share and the number of authorized shares, which were not affected by the reverse stock split.

 

Use of Estimates

 

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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions include, but are not limited to, assessing the following: valuation of inventory, valuation of intangible assets, the grant date fair value of stock options and warrants, share-based compensation expense, valuation of acquired intangible assets and valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets.

 

Financial Instruments

 

At March 31, 2013, there was no difference between the carrying values of the Company’s cash equivalents and fair market value. For certain financial instruments, including accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

 

The Company does not have any financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss for the period by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of the Company. Potential common shares relating to outstanding stock options and warrants to acquire a total of 1,731,022 and 1,374,888 shares of common stock were outstanding at March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These securities are not included in the computation of diluted net loss per common share for all periods presented as their inclusion would be antidilutive due to losses incurred by the Company in such periods.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The Company reviews new accounting standards as issued.  Although some of these accounting standards issued or effective after the end of the Company’s previous fiscal year may be applicable to the Company, we have not identified any new standards that had, or are expected to have, a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

 

Subsequent Events

 

Management has evaluated events subsequent to March 31, 2013 through the date that the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements were filed with the SEC for transactions and other events which may require adjustment of and/or disclosure in such financial statements.

 

 

2. Liquidity

 

The Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations. The Company’s recent operations have been funded primarily from proceeds from a secondary public offering of common stock completed in April 2012. As of March 31, 2013 the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.8 million and a working capital balance of approximately $4.0 million. In April 2013 the Company received $438,750 cash from the exercise of warrants. The Company believes that it has sufficient liquidity to meet its funding requirements over the next year. However, the Company’s products have not yet generated significant revenues and the Company’s technology licensing strategy is in the early stages and has not generated any revenues to date. Although management believes that future growth in product and licensing revenues will result in profitable operations and positive cash flows, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve profitable operations and sufficient cash flow to fund future operations. In the event that the Company is unable to achieve profitable operations and cash flows through expected product sales and/or licensing revenues, it may be necessary to seek additional debt or equity financing in order to accomplish its business plan over the next few years. There can be no assurance as to the availability or terms upon which such financing and capital might be available.

 

 

3. Inventories, net

 

Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of substantially all of the Company’s inventory is determined by the weighted average cost method. Inventories consisted of the following:

 

   March 31,  September 30,
   2013  2012
Finished goods  $100,710   $143,430 
Work in process   22,881    11,735 
Raw materials   359,870    400,300 
    483,461    555,465 
Reserve for obsolescence   (83,987)   (111,761)
   $399,474   $443,704

The Company relies on one supplier for film for its HSS products. The Company’s ability to manufacture its HSS products could be adversely affected if it were to lose its sole source supplier and was unable to find an alternative supplier.

 

The reserve for obsolescence was reduced by a $27,774 non-cash inventory reserve reduction in the six months ended March 31, 2013 through the use of previously reserved legacy HSS inventory in the production of HSS products and prototypes. The Company expects to continue to realize non-cash inventory reserve reductions through the use of such previously reserved parts.

 

 

4. Property and Equipment, net

 

Property and equipment consisted of the following:

 

   March 31,  September 30,
   2013  2012
Equipment  $194,566   $180,519 
Research equipment under capital lease   139,967    –

   $286,040   $176,912 

 

Depreciation expense was $60,531 and $33,605 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

7. Share-Based Compensation

 

On September 27, 2010 the Company adopted the 2010 Stock Option Plan (the “2010 Plan”). The 2010 Plan authorized the grant of options to purchase up to 600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to directors, officers, employees and consultants. On December 29, 2011 the Company’s Board of Directors adopted, and shareholders subsequently approved, the 2012 Stock Option Plan (the “2012 Plan”) providing the Board of Directors with authority to grant options to purchase up to 253,000 of the shares of common stock remaining available for issuance under the 2010 Plan and up to an additional 600,000 shares of common stock. The 2012 Plan replaced the 2010 Plan but awards previously granted under the 2010 Plan remain outstanding in accordance with their terms. Any outstanding awards under the 2010 Plan that expire or terminate, other than through exercise or share settlement, will also become eligible for grant under the 2012 Plan. In August 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved, and shareholders subsequently approved, an amendment to the 2012 Plan, authorizing an additional 500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2012 Plan. At March 31, 2013 there were 292,000 shares available to grant under the 2012 Plan, as amended.

At March 31, 2013 the Company had outstanding options to purchase up to 42,666 shares of the Company’s common stock that were granted outside of the 2012 Plan.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of each option as of its grant date or any revaluation date, and the grant date fair value is recognized as non-cash based compensation expense over the expected vesting term of options. The inputs to the Black-Scholes option pricing model are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop. The following table sets forth the significant weighted-average assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model and the calculation of stock-based compensation cost (annualized percentages):

 

   Six Months Ended
   March 31,
   2013  2012
Volatility   88%   90%
Risk-free interest rate   0.52%   1.00%
Forfeiture rate   3.00%   0.00%
Dividend yield   0.00%   0.00%
Expected life in years   3.47    4.67 
Weighted average fair value of options granted  $7.91   $3.00 

 

 

Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options. The risk-free interest rate is based on rates published by the Federal Reserve Board. The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. The Company has a small number of option grants and limited exercise history and accordingly has for all new option grants applied the simplified method prescribed by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 110, Share-Based Payment: Certain Assumptions Used in Valuation Methods - Expected Term, to estimate expected life (computed as vesting term plus contractual term divided by two). The estimated forfeiture rate was estimated by class of employee. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of the grant and revised in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates or if the Company updates its estimated forfeiture rate. Such amounts, if any, will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate is changed.

 

The Company recorded share-based compensation in its interim condensed consolidated statements of operations for the relevant periods as follows:

 

   Three Months Ended  Six Months Ended
   March 31,  March 31,
   2013  2012  2013  2012
Selling, general and administrative  $694,714   $284,298   $885,942   $436,589 
Research and development   95,362    79,251    157,797    123,262 
   $790,076   $363,549   $1,043,739   $559,851 

 

As of March 31, 2013 total estimated compensation cost relating to stock options granted but not yet vested was $2.6 million. This cost can vary with respect to non-employee options based on changes in stock price and other valuation inputs. The remaining estimated cost is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.9 years.

Options of Subsidiary

 

In February 2013, HHI adopted an equity incentive plan under which it may grant options to purchase up to 250 shares of its common stock to HHI employees, directors and consultants. HHI has 1,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, HHI granted to consultants and employees options, with a five year term, to purchase 140 shares of HHI common stock at an exercise price of $1,000 per share including an option to purchase 50 shares of HHI common stock granted to the Company’s Executive Chairman (who also serves as the President of HHI). These option grants are subject to a combination of performance and time-based vesting, and also contain certain anti-dilution adjustment rights (which generally allow the option holders to maintain their percentage ownership in HHI during a three-year period from the date of the original option grant), as well as repurchase rights and first refusal rights in favor of HHI. At March 31, 2013 options to purchase 6.25 shares had vested and were exercisable.

 

The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the estimated fair value of each option using volatility of 73%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.41% to 1.00%, and expected terms of 3-5 years. The Company recorded $4,944 as option expense related to the HHI options for the period ended March 31, 2013 that is included in the consolidated share-based compensation expenses summarized above.

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

 

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the financial statements and other financial information included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements and Other Information” above. For additional context with which to understand our financial condition and results of operations, see the discussion and analysis included in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, filed with the SEC on November 28, 2012, as well as the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained therein.

 

Business Overview

 

We are a technology company with a substantial body of intellectual property focused on delivering novel audio solutions. Our HSS technology pioneered the practical application of parametric acoustic technology for generating sound along a directional ultrasonic column. After our September 2010 spin-off from LRAD Corporation we completed development of a new product line (HSS-3000) and in July 2011 commenced sales of our HSS-3000 audio systems. The HSS-3000 product line delivers directed audio solutions to customers primarily for commercial use including digital signage, point-of-purchase, in-store network and related applications that benefit from focused sound targeted to specific locations. Our principal markets are North America, Europe and Asia. We are targeting our technology for new uses in consumer markets including computers, video gaming, televisions, home audio, electronic gaming, health care, movies and cinema and mobile devices.

 

We are seeking to expand into new markets through both product sales and licensing. Our licensing strategy is to identify large or high-growth markets, develop needed technology solutions and features, and work with established industry participants and OEMs to make products incorporating our technologies widely available to consumers.

 

Business Outlook

 

We believe we are experiencing positive response to our licensing initiative and increased acceptance of our HSS-3000 products. We believe we have a solid technology and product foundation, and we are targeting new markets and applications for business growth. We also believe we have strong commercial and consumer market opportunities worldwide. In fiscal 2012 we expanded our business development and selling force both internally and through a network of distributors, integrators and agents. We also added to our engineering and technical staff to support licensees and product sales. We expect increased product sales during the balance of fiscal 2013 and licensing and/or co-development arrangements as a result of our licensing initiative.

 

We are unable to predict the level of future product sales in our current markets or the timing of future licensing revenues, if any. We are also unable to predict the acceptance of our technology or resulting products by consumers as we target new commercial and consumer markets through licensing.

 

We face significant challenges in growing our business in existing and targeted markets. The continued global economic downturn could increase the challenges in operating our business. We expect we will need to continue to innovate new applications for our sound technology, develop new products to meet customer requirements and identify and develop new markets for our products and planned licensing activities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our financial statements located in Item 1 of Part I, “Financial Statements,” and in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012 filed with the SEC. The preparation of these financial statements, prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to valuation of accounts receivable and inventory, warranty liabilities, impairment of intangible assets, contingencies, the grant date fair value of stock options and warrants, share-based compensation expense, valuation of acquired intangible assets and valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

15
 

 

Some of our accounting policies require higher degrees of judgment than others in their application. These include revenue recognition, warranty liabilities, impairments, share-based compensation and valuation of acquired intangible assets. Historically, our assumptions, judgments and estimates relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. There were no significant changes or modification of our critical accounting policies and estimates involving management valuation adjustments affecting our results for the six months ended March 31, 2013. For further information on our critical accounting policies, refer to Note 1 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012.

 

Segment and Related Information

 

We operate as a single reportable segment on an enterprise-wide basis. We generate revenue by selling our technology-based products and expect future licensing revenues from such technology.

 

Results of Operations

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The following is a discussion of the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Revenues

 

Revenues were $155,384 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 representing a 160% increase over revenues of $59,694 for the comparable three months of the prior year ended March 31, 2012. The increase resulted from both new customers and increased shipments to prior customers. In June 2012 we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, PSC Licensing Corp. to engage in technology licensing activities. We have no licensing revenues to date.

 

We are pursuing new customers for our HSS-3000 product line, focusing on larger volume commercial applications for the digital signage, retail store, kiosk, point-of-sale terminal markets. We are also pursuing business development activities related to additional commercial and other consumer applications of our technology. We expect increased product sales during fiscal 2013 and new licensing and/or co-development arrangements pursuant to our licensing initiative but we are unable to predict the level of future product sales or the timing of future licensing revenues, if any.

 

At March 31, 2013 we had backlog of firm purchase orders of $30,145.

 

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $76,161 (49% of revenues) compared to $32,543 (55% of revenues) for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The margin in each respective period was positively impacted from usage of parts valued at $12,248 and $3,765 respectively, that had inventory obsolescence and excess parts allowances recorded in prior periods. We continue to develop and implement volume pricing and production strategies, product updates and changes, including raw material and component changes that may impact margins. With such product updates and changes we have limited warranty cost experience and estimated future warranty costs can impact our gross margins. Due to our limited sales and manufacturing history, we do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $1,443,666, including non-cash share based compensation expenses of $694,714. This compares to $725,639, including $284,298 of non-cash share based compensation expenses, during the comparable prior-year period ended March 31, 2012. The current year non-cash share based compensation expenses is attributable to vesting of options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees and consultants and the effect that the increased price of our common stock during the first six months of the current year had on the quarterly revaluation of non-employee stock options for which service had not been completed. We expect to report significant amounts of non-cash share based compensation expense in future periods from vesting of existing option grants and the possibility of new grants.

 

16
 

 

Other major cost categories for the three months ended March 31, 2013 included compensation and consulting costs of $370,000 (excluding non-cash share based compensation expenses), trade show and promotion expenses of $38,000, travel and related costs of $57,000, professional fees of $100,000, public company costs of $119,000 and occupancy costs of $19,000. Our staffing increased from eight to fifteen employees between the two periods and we increased the use of outside consultants resulting in increases in compensation costs and related travel costs. Public company costs increased from $64,000 to $119,000 primarily as a result of the engagement of a corporate public relations firm, an increase in annual meeting costs this year and increased director and officer insurance costs. Professional fees increased from $29,000 to $120,000 primarily due to increases in legal costs related to our HHI subsidiary and other corporate and licensing activity.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $588,100, compared to $267,503 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2012. These research and development expenses included non-cash share based compensation expenses of $95,362 and $79,251, respectively.

 

Major cost categories for the most recent quarter included personnel and consultancy costs of $285,000 (excluding non-cash share based compensation expenses), $60,000 of prototype and testing costs, $22,000 of technical and testing costs associated with our subsidiary HHI, occupancy costs of $22,000 and patent costs and patent, technology and fixed asset amortization and depreciation costs of $68,000.

 

We added research and development personnel and as a result personnel and consultancy costs increased $186,000 during the most recent quarter compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Prototype and related testing and development costs increased by $35,000 as a result of more internal technology and product development.

 

The scope and magnitude of our future research and development expenses are difficult to predict as the amounts required for future product development costs are difficult to estimate but could be substantial.

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1,955,535 and $961,297, respectively. The most recent period loss included $790,076 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses compared to $363,549 for the prior year’s second quarter. We expect to incur additional net losses until we are able to grow revenues to generate sufficient margins to cover operating costs.

 

Comparison of Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended March 31, 2013 and 2012

 

The following is a discussion of the results of our operations for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

Revenues

 

Revenues were $264,058 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 representing a 112% increase over revenues of $124,475 for the comparable six months of the prior year ended March 31, 2012. The increase resulted from both new customers and increased shipments to prior customers.

 

At March 31, 2013 we had backlog of firm purchase orders of $30,145.

 

Cost of Revenues and Gross Profit

 

Gross profit for the six months ended March 31, 2013 was $130,779 (50% of revenues) compared to $72,408 (58% of revenues) for the six months ended March 31, 2012.  The margin in each respective period was positively impacted from usage of parts valued at $22,013 and $6,824 respectively, that had inventory obsolescence and excess parts allowances recorded in prior periods. We do not believe that historical gross profit margins should be relied upon as an indicator of future gross profit margins.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2013 were $2,360,263, including non-cash share based compensation expenses of $885,942. This compares to $1,064,598, including $436,589 of non-cash share based compensation expenses, during the six months ended March 31, 2012. The current year non-cash share based compensation expense is attributable to vesting of options to purchase shares of our common stock to employees and consultants and the effect that the increased price of our common stock during the first six months of the current year had on the quarterly revaluation of non-employee stock options for which service had not been completed. We expect to report significant amounts of non-cash share based compensation expense in future periods from vesting of existing option grants and the possibility of new grants.

 

17
 

 

Compensation and consulting costs of $754,000 (excluding non-cash share based compensation expenses) for the six months ended March 31, 2013 represented an increase of $390,000 over the prior year’s first six months and resulted from increased personnel and outside consultants. Travel and related costs increased from $18,000 to $114,000 due to sales and marketing efforts to expand our commercial business and pursue licensing. Public company costs increased from $94,000 to $196,000 primarily as a result of the engagement of a corporate public relations firm, an increase in annual meeting costs this year and increased director and officer insurance costs. Professional fees increased from $92,000 to $238,000 primarily due to increases in legal costs related to our HHI subsidiary and other corporate and licensing activity.

 

Research and Development Expenses

 

Research and development expenses for the six months ended March 31, 2013 were $979,953, compared to $498,208 for the comparable period ended March 31, 2012. These research and development expenses included non-cash share based compensation expenses of $157,797 and $123,262, respectively.

 

We added research and development personnel and personnel and consultancy costs accordingly increased $311,000 during the most recent six months compared to the six months ended March 31, 2012 due to increased personnel and outside consulting activities. We incurred $71,000 of prototype and testing costs, comparable to the prior year period. We incurred $44,000 of FDA development costs related to HHI activities during the six months ended March 31, 2013 with no comparable amount for the prior year period. Patent costs and patent, technology and fixed asset amortization and depreciation costs increased by $45,000 compared to the first six months of the prior year as a result of purchased technology amortization, increased patent filings and new assets being depreciated.

 

Net Loss

 

The net loss for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $3,207,655 and $1,492,314, respectively. The most recent period loss included $1,043,739 of non-cash share-based compensation expenses compared to $559,851 for the prior year’s first six months.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

At March 31, 2013 we had cash of $3.8 million and our current assets exceeded our current liabilities by $4.0 million. In April 2013 we received $438,750 cash from the exercise of outstanding stock warrants. Other than cash, accounts receivable and inventory, we have no unused sources of liquidity at this time.

 

Cash Flows

 

Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $2,007,917 and $800,848 for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The overall increase of $1,207,069 between the two periods was primarily related to the increase of $1,715,341 in net loss between periods ($530,976 of which increase related to non-cash expenses), but was also affected by an increase in the growth of accounts receivable during the six months ended March 31, 2013 of $67,298 and prepaid expenses of $78,158 and reduced by a $153,980 increase in accounts payable.

 

Investing Activities

 

We used cash of $29,692 for property and equipment purchases and $97,550 for patent costs during the six months ended March 31, 2013. We acquired $139,967 of equipment and $16,163 of supplies through a capital lease. We have no material commitments for future capital expenditures but expect to continue to incur patent costs in the future.

 

Financing Activities

 

During the six months ended March 31, 2013 we obtained $298,500 from the exercise of warrants and during the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 we obtained $137,837 and $161,250, respectively, from the exercise of stock options. During the six months ended March 31, 2012 we obtained $7.35 million net proceeds from our March 2012 secondary public offering. During the most recent six months we made payments reducing our capital lease obligation of $5,938.

 

18
 

 

 

Capital Requirements

 

Our future capital requirements, cash flows and results of operations could be affected by and will depend on many factors some of which are currently unknown to us, including:

 

·market acceptance of our products and our ability to grow revenues;
·the costs, timing and outcome of production and regulatory compliance of our products;
·the costs of preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications, maintaining and enforcing our issued patents and defending any future intellectual property-related claims;
·the costs and timing of additional product development and marketing efforts; and
·the costs, timing and outcome of any future warranty claims or litigation against us associated with any of our products.

 

We project that our current cash reserves will sustain our operations at least through the next twelve months. We are not aware of any trends or potential events that are likely to adversely impact our short-term liquidity through this term.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Other than aggregate facility and office lease payments of approximately $11,000 per month, the equipment capital lease of $3,574 per month and our employment agreement with our Executive Chairman, we have no material contractual obligations.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

 

We do not have off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as “special purpose entities” (SPEs).

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the six-month period ended March 31, 2013, or subsequently thereto, that we believe are of potential significance to our financial statements.

 

 

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

 

As a smaller reporting company (as such term is defined under Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act and in item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K), we are electing to follow the scaled disclosure reporting obligations available to a smaller reporting company and therefore are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

 

Item  4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13(a)-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)) of the Exchange Act are designed to ensure that (1) information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms; and (2) that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

At the conclusion of the period ended March 31, 2013, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Executive Chairman (our principal executive officer, or PEO) and our Chief Financial Officer (our principal financial officer, or PFO), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, our PEO and PFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act, were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2013.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures and the remediation of any deficiencies, which may be identified during this process.

 

19
 

 

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

None.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

As of the date of this report, there have not been any material changes to the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial position, results of operations, cash flows and stock price.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

On March 21, 2013, we issued an aggregate of 500 shares of common stock to one investor upon the conversion of a warrant to purchase an aggregate of 737 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $5.625 per share. Pursuant to the cashless net exercise feature of the warrant, the warrant could be converted, in lieu of cash exercise, into a number of shares of common stock determined by multiplying the number of shares purchasable under the warrant by the difference between the fair market value of the common stock computed on the date of conversion and the warrant exercise price, and dividing such product by the fair market value of the common stock computed on the date of conversion. The fair market value of the common stock determined in accordance with the warrant on the date of conversion was $17.45 per share. The shares were issued in reliance upon the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

 

None.
