SHARPS COMPLIANCE CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BACKGROUND

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial transactions and accounts of Sharps Compliance Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries, Sharps Compliance, Inc. of Texas (dba Sharps Compliance, Inc.), Sharps e-Tools.com, Inc. (“Sharps e-Tools”), Sharps Manufacturing, Inc., Sharps Environmental Services, Inc. (dba Sharps Environmental Services of Texas, Inc.) and Sharps Safety, Inc. (collectively, “Sharps”, “We” or the  “Company”).  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and, accordingly, do not include all information and footnotes required under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2013, the results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and stockholders’ equity for the year ended June 30, 2012 and nine months ended March 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.  These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2012.

NOTE 3 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Revenue Recognition:  The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when goods are shipped or delivered, and title and risk of loss pass to the customer except for those sales via multiple-deliverable arrangements. Provisions for certain rebates, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in sales in the same period the related sales are recorded. Product discounts granted are based on the terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants, as well as market conditions, including prices charged by competitors. Rebates are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served.

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with guidance on revenue recognition of multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. Under this guidance, certain products offered by the Company have revenue producing components that are recognized over multiple delivery points (Sharps® Recovery System (formerly the Sharps Disposal by Mail Systems®) and various TakeAway Environmental Return Systems™ referred to as “Mailbacks” and Sharps® Pump and Asset Return Boxes, referred to as “Pump Returns”) and can consist of up to three separate elements, or units of measure, as follows: (1) the sale of the compliance and container system, (2) return transportation  and (3) treatment service.

In accordance with the relative selling price methodology, an estimated selling price is determined for all deliverables that qualify for separate units of accounting.  The actual consideration received in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is then allocated to the units based on their relative sales price.  The selling price for the transportation revenue and the treatment revenue utilizes third party evidence. The Company estimates the selling price of the compliance and container system based on the product and services provided including compliance with local, state and Federal laws, adherence to stringent manufacturing and testing requirements, safety to the patient and the community as well as storage and containment capabilities.

Revenue for the sale of the compliance and container is recognized upon delivery to the customer, at which time the customer takes title and assumes risk of ownership.  Transportation revenue is recognized when the customer returns the compliance and container system and the container has been received at the Company’s facility. The compliance and container system is mailed or delivered by an alternative logistics provider to the Company’s facility. Treatment revenue is recognized upon the destruction or conversion and proof of receipt and treatment having been performed on the container.  Since the transportation element and the treatment elements are undelivered services at the point of initial sale of the compliance and container system, transportation and treatment revenue is deferred until the services are performed.  The current and long-term portions of deferred revenues are determined through regression analysis and historical trends.  Furthermore, through regression analysis of historical data, the Company has determined that a certain percentage of all container systems sold may not be returned.  Accordingly, a portion of the transportation and treatment elements are recognized at the point of sale.

Income Taxes:  The liability method is used in accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of valuation allowances and development of projected annual effective tax rates requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.

Accounts Receivable:  Accounts receivable consist primarily of amounts due to us from our normal business activities.   Accounts receivable balances are determined to be delinquent when the amount is past due based on the contractual terms with the customer.  The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the expected uncollectibility of accounts receivable based on past collection history and specific risks identified among uncollected accounts.  Accounts receivable are charged to the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that the receivable will not be collected and/or when the account has been referred to a third party collection agency. The Company has a history of minimal uncollectible accounts.

NOTE 4 – RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements that impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2013.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $2.0 million to establish a deferred tax valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The establishment of valuation allowances and development of projected annual effective tax rates requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the valuation allowance has been recorded to reduce the Company’s  net deferred tax asset to an amount that is more likely than not to be realized and is based upon the uncertainty of the realization of certain federal and state deferred assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and other tax attributes.

The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was 1.5% reflecting estimated state income taxes and the excess tax benefit from stock-based award activity. The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 was 35.1%. The Company’s tax benefit associated with taxable losses during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was fully offset by a deferred tax valuation allowance.

NOTE 6 - NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT

Effective April 30, 2013, the Company executed a Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, National Association (the “Bank”) which extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement executed on July 15, 2010 (“Prior Agreement”) from July 15, 2014 to July 15, 2015 and reduces the line from $5 million to $200,000. The Company’s Restated Credit Agreement with the Bank provides for a two-year, cash-collateralized $200,000 line of credit facility, the proceeds of which may be utilized for: (i) working capital, (ii) capital expenditures and (iii) letters of credit (up to $200,000). As of March 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $108 thousand in letters of credit outstanding. The Company did not borrow any amounts under the Prior Agreement as a result of its strong cash position and lack of need for borrowings.

Borrowings bear interest at either (i) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points or (ii) at the Company’s option, a fixed rate for a 30, 60, or 90 day period set at the option date’s LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points. Any outstanding revolving loans, and accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable on July 15, 2015, the maturity date set under the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company pays a fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused amount of the line of credit. We estimate that the interest rate applicable to the borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement would be approximately 2.8% as of March 31, 2013.

The Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default that remains uncured after any applicable cure period, the lender’s commitment to make further loans may terminate and the Company may be required to make immediate repayment of all indebtedness to the lender.

NOTE 7 – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant).  Reductions in taxes payable resulting from tax deductions that exceed the recognized tax benefit associated with compensation expense (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows and as an increase to additional paid in capital.   During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation amounts are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE 8 - EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share are measured at two levels: basic per share and diluted per share. Basic per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares after considering the additional dilution related to common stock options and restricted stock. In computing diluted earnings per share, the outstanding common stock options are considered dilutive using the treasury stock method. Vested restricted shares are included in basic common shares outstanding, and unvested restricted shares are included in the diluted common shares outstanding, if the effect is dilutive.

The following information is necessary to calculate earnings per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per-share data):

*Represents the net impact of the revenue recognition adjustment required to arrive at reported generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) revenue.  Customer billings include all invoiced amounts associated with products shipped during the period reported.  GAAP revenue includes customer billings as well as numerous adjustments necessary to reflect, (i) the deferral of a portion of current period sales and (ii) recognition of certain revenue associated with products returned for treatment and destruction.  The difference between customer billings and GAAP revenue is reflected in the Company’s balance sheet as deferred revenue.  See Note 3 “Revenue Recognition” in “Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”.

This quarter-to-date table contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with GAAP, including customer billings information.  The Company believes this information is useful to investors and other interested parties as customer billings represents all invoiced amounts associated with products shipped during the period reported. Such information should not be considered as a substitute for any measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliation of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures is included above.

The decrease in billings was primarily attributable to decreased billings in the Pharmaceutical ($0.5 million) and U.S. Government contract ($0.2 million) markets. The decrease in billings was partially offset by increased billings in the Retail ($0.3 million), Home Health Care ($0.1 million), Professional ($0.1 million) and Other ($0.1 million) markets. Pharmaceutical market billings tend to be program related and, therefore, can be highly variable from quarter to quarter until programs mature.  The comparable period for the prior year period was atypically strong as it included the roll-out for two new Patient Support Programs and the initial launch of a third Patient Support Program during the third quarter of fiscal 2012. The programs include the direct fulfillment of the Sharps® Recovery System to the pharmaceutical manufacturers’ program participants which provides the proper containment, return and treatment of the needles or injection devices utilized in therapy. U.S. Government Contract billings are associated with the Company’s contract with a major U.S. government agency announced in February 2009. The decrease in the U.S. Government contract market billings is associated with the January 31, 2012 termination of the maintenance portion of a U.S. Government contract with the Division of Strategic National Stockpile (“DSNS”) of the Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”). The increase in Retail market billings is primarily due to increased sales of the Complete Needle Collection & Disposal System™ and TakeAway Environmental Return System™ solutions. The increase in the Home Health Care market was primarily due to timing of sales to home health care related distributors addressing the growing trend of patient volumes in the home health care industry. The increase in the Professional market billings was a direct result of the Company’s targeted telemarketing initiatives and promotional activities to inform doctors, dentists and veterinarians of the significant cost advantage and convenience of the Company’s Sharps® Recovery System when compared with the traditional pick-up service in the small quantity generator sector. The increase in the Other market was due to timing of orders. Revenue was positively impacted by an increase in the GAAP adjustment of $0.3 million primarily related to the mix of products sold and returned for treatment in the comparable periods.

Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $3.9 million was 72.0% of revenues.  Cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2012 of $3.8 million was 71.2% of revenues.  The lower gross margin for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of 28.0% (versus 28.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012) reflected the impact of $89 thousand, or 160 basis points, associated with additional accrued loss for lease related liabilities upon the complete sublease of the Atlanta facility during the quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 of $2.4 million, increased by $0.2 million, from SG&A expenses of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in SG&A expense is primarily due to severance costs for a former officer of the Company of $0.2 million.

The Company generated an operating loss of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to an operating loss of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The operating margin was (17.4%) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to (15.3%) for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in operating loss is a result of severance costs and accrued loss for lease related liabilities partially offset by higher revenue (discussed above).

The Company generated a loss before income tax expense of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus a loss before tax of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in the loss before income tax is a result of the higher operating loss (discussed above).

The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was 2.0% reflecting estimated state income taxes. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was 35.0%. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $2.0 million to establish a deferred tax valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The Company’s tax benefit associated with taxable losses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was offset by a deferred tax valuation allowance.

The Company generated a net loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a net loss of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The higher net loss is a result of a higher operating loss and lower tax benefit (discussed above).

The Company reported diluted loss per share of ($0.06) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 versus diluted loss per share of ($0.03) for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease in diluted earnings per share is a result of a higher net loss in the current quarter (discussed above).

This year-to-date table contains certain financial information not derived in accordance with GAAP, including customer billings information.  The Company believes this information is useful to investors and other interested parties as customer billings represents all invoiced amounts associated with products shipped during the period reported.  Such information should not be considered as a substitute for any measures derived in accordance with GAAP, and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.  Reconciliation of this information to the most comparable GAAP measures is included above.

The decrease in revenues is primarily attributable to decreased billings in the U.S. Government Contract ($1.7 million) market. The decrease in billings was partially offset by increased billings in the Professional ($0.6 million) and Core Government ($0.3 million) markets. U.S. Government Contract billings are associated with the Company’s contract with a major U.S. government agency announced in February 2009. The decrease in the U.S. Government contract market billings is associated with the January 31, 2012 termination of the maintenance portion of a U.S. Government contract with the DSNS of the CDC. The increase in the Professional market billings was a direct result of the Company’s targeted telemarketing initiatives and promotional activities to inform doctors, dentists and veterinarians of the significant cost advantage and convenience of the Sharps® Recovery System when compared with the traditional pick-up service in the small quantity generator sector. The increase in the Core Government market billings reflects distributor sales to a major U.S. agency to facilitate the launch of our solutions in selected military bases.

Cost of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of $11.5 million was 70.7% of revenues.  Cost of revenues for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 of $11.8 million was 68.2% of revenue.  The lower gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of 29.3% (versus 31.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012) was due to (i) ongoing facility costs of $0.3 million, or 180 basis points, associated with the maintenance portion of the U.S. government contract that was terminated as of January 31, 2012 and (ii) an additional accrued loss for lease related liabilities for the Atlanta facility of $154  thousand, or 95 basis points.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of $6.45 million was relatively flat compared with SG&A expenses of $6.43 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  SG&A for the current period included severance costs for a former officer of the Company of $0.2 million (discussed above).

The Company generated an operating loss of $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to an operating loss of $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  The operating margin was (12.4%) for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to (7.4%) for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in operating loss is a result of the lower billings in the first nine months of fiscal year 2013 (discussed above).

The Company generated a loss before tax of $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 versus a loss before tax of $1.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The increase in loss before tax is a result of a higher operating loss (discussed above).

 
15

 
The Company’s effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was 1.5% reflecting estimated state income taxes compared to 35.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. During the year ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded $2.0 million to establish a deferred tax valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets. The Company’s tax benefit associated with taxable losses during the nine months ended March 31, 2013 was offset by a deferred tax valuation allowance.
 
The Company generated a net loss of $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 compared to a net loss of $0.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  The increase is result of a higher operating loss and lower tax benefit (discussed above).

The Company reported diluted loss per share of ($0.13) for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 versus diluted loss per share of ($0.05) for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.  The decrease in diluted earnings per share is a result of a higher net loss (discussed above).

PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE

The Company continues to take advantage of the many opportunities in the markets served as professional offices, retail pharmacies and clinics, communities, assisted living, home healthcare companies, consumers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, government agencies, health care facilities, individual self-injectors and commercial organizations become more aware of the alternatives to the traditional methods of management of medical sharps waste, used healthcare materials and unused dispensed medications.

The Company’s growth strategies are focused on the Retail, Pharmaceutical, Professional, Assisted Living / Hospitality, Home Health Care and Core Government markets. The Company believes its growth opportunities are supported by:

·  
An increase in the number of used needles improperly disposed of outside the large healthcare setting and into the solid waste system to 7.8 billion each year (tripled volume over the past ten years) and an increase in the number of self-injectors in the country to 13.5 million over the same period;

·  
An estimated 800,000 doctors, dentists, veterinarians, clinics, tattoo parlors and other businesses in the country that generate smaller quantities of medical waste, including used syringes to whom we offer a lower cost alternative to the traditional pick-up service;

·  
An estimated 40% of the four billion dispensed medication prescriptions which go unused every year in the United States generating an estimated 200 million pounds of unused medication waste;

·  
The pace of regulation of sharps and unused dispensed medications disposal which is gaining momentum at both the state and federal level - as of June 30, 2012, approximately 46 percent of U.S. citizens live in states that have enacted legislation or strict guidelines mandating the proper disposal of used syringes while 67 percent live in states that have enacted or proposed legislation mandating the proper disposal of dispensed unused medications;

·  
New solution offerings including the Complete Needle™ Collection and Disposal System (designed for the traditional under-served home self-injector), the TakeAway line of products for unused medications (including TakeAway Environmental Return System™), the Medical/Professional TakeAway Recovery System and enhanced patient support programs with pharmaceutical manufacturers;

·  
The opportunity to increase the availability to individuals of our consumer focused solutions like Complete Needle™ Collection and Disposal System and the TakeAway line of products through sponsorship by drug and ancillary product manufacturers;

·  
The Company’s joint marketing alliance with Daniels Sharpsmart (“JMA”), announced in May 2012, to serve the entire U.S. medical waste market, offering clients a blended product portfolio to effectively target prospective customers with multi-site and multi-sized locations; and

The Company’s strong financial position with a cash balance of $16.1 million and no debt as of March 31, 2013.

TERMINATED CONTRACT

In February 2009, the Company launched Sharps®MWMS™, a Medical Waste Management System (“MWMS”), which is a comprehensive medical waste and dispensed medication solution which includes an array of products and services necessary to effectively collect, store and treat medical waste and unused dispensed medication outside of the hospital or large health care facility setting. In connection with the launch in 2009, the Company signed a five year contract (one year, plus four option years) with a major U.S. government agency for a $40 million program to provide our comprehensive Medical Waste Management System™, or Sharps®MWMS™, which is a rapid-deployment solution offering designed to provide medical waste collection, storage and treatment in the event of natural disasters, pandemics, man-made disasters, or other national emergencies.  Sharps®MWMS™ is unique in that the solution also offers warehousing, inventory management, training, data and other services necessary to provide a comprehensive solution. We received a purchase order for $28.5 million ($6.0 million of which was recognized in fiscal year 2009, and $22.5 million was recognized in the first half of fiscal year 2010).  In January 2010, the Company was awarded the first option year (ending January 31, 2011) valued at approximately $1.6 million which was recognized from February 1, 2010 through January 31, 2011.  In January 2011, we were awarded the second option year (ending January 31, 2012) valued at approximately $3.0 million and was recognized from February 1, 2011 through January 31, 2012.  The Company was notified by an agency of the U. S. Government, acting on behalf of the DSNS, that the maintenance contract would not be renewed for the third option year (beginning February 1, 2012) and that the contract would be terminated effective January 31, 2012. This non-renewal was preceded by a letter dated December 2, 2011 advising the Company of the U.S. Government’s intent to exercise the third option year. Although not stated in the notice provided by the U.S. Government, the Company believes the action is part of a budget reduction program being implemented by the DSNS.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flow

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.4 million to $16.1 million at March 31, 2013 from $17.5 million at June 30, 2012. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents is primarily due to operating losses generated for the nine months ended March 31, 2013, the timing of collections from orders related to billings in March 2013 and capital expenditures and additions to intangible assets of $0.7 million (discussed below).

Accounts receivable increased by $0.6 million to $3.0 million at March 31, 2013 from $2.4 million at June 30, 2012. The increase is due to timing of billings and collections.

Inventory decreased by $0.3 million to $1.9 million at March 31, 2013 from $2.2 million at June 30, 2012. The decrease in inventory is due to timing of sales and adjustment of inventory levels to facilitate customer orders.

Working capital decreased $1.2 million to $17.4 million at March 31, 2013 from $18.6 million at June 30, 2012. The decrease is primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents and inventory and increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities offset by higher accounts receivable (as discussed above).

Property, plant and equipment, net decreased by $0.3 million to $4.4 million at March 31, 2013 from $4.6 million at June 30, 2012.  The decrease in property and equipment is related to depreciation expense of $0.8 million, partially offset by capital expenditures of $0.5 million. The capital expenditures are attributable primarily to (i) treatment facility improvements of $406 thousand, (ii) manufacturing and assembly equipment including molds, dies and printing plates of $64 thousand and (iii) computer equipment and custom software programming of $69 thousand.

Stockholders’ equity decreased by $1.6 million to $21.6 million at March 31, 2013 from $23.2 million at June 30, 2012.  This decrease is primarily attributable to a net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2013 of $2.0 million.  The impact was partially offset by the repurchase of 25,360 shares and the effect on equity (credit) of non-cash stock based award expense of $0.4 million.

Off -Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company was not a party to any off-balance sheet transactions as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2013 and for the year-ended June 30, 2012.

Credit Facility

Effective April 30, 2013, the Company executed a Credit Agreement (the “Restated Credit Agreement”) with Wells Fargo, National Association (the “Bank”) which extends the maturity date of the Credit Agreement executed on July 15, 2010 (“Prior Agreement”) from July 15, 2014 to July 15, 2015 and reduces the line from $5 million to $200,000. The Company’s Restated Credit Agreement with the Bank provides for a two-year, cash-collateralized $200,000 line of credit facility, the proceeds of which may be utilized for: (i) working capital, (ii) capital expenditures and (iii) letters of credit (up to $200,000). As of March 31, 2013, the Company had no outstanding borrowings and $108 thousand in letters of credit outstanding. The Company did not borrow any amounts under the Prior Agreement as a result of its strong cash position and lack of need for borrowings.

Borrowings bear interest at either (i) a fluctuating rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points or (ii) at the Company’s option, a fixed rate for a 30, 60, or 90 day period set at the option date’s LIBOR plus a margin of 250 basis points. Any outstanding revolving loans, and accrued and unpaid interest, will be due and payable on July 15, 2015, the maturity date set under the Restated Credit Agreement. The Company pays a fee of 0.2% per annum on the unused amount of the line of credit. We estimate that the interest rate applicable to the borrowings under the Restated Credit Agreement would be approximately 2.8% as of March 31, 2013.

The Restated Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence of an event of default that remains uncured after any applicable cure period, the lender’s commitment to make further loans may terminate and the Company may be required to make immediate repayment of all indebtedness to the lender.

Management believes that the Company’s current cash resources (cash on hand) will be sufficient to fund operations for the twelve months ending March 31, 2014.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Revenue Recognition:  The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when goods are shipped or delivered, and title and risk of loss pass to the customer except for those sales via multiple-deliverable arrangements. Provisions for certain rebates, product returns and discounts to customers are accounted for as reductions in sales in the same period the related sales are recorded. Product discounts granted are based on the terms of arrangements with direct, indirect and other market participants, as well as market conditions, including prices charged by competitors. Rebates are estimated based on contractual terms, historical experience, trend analysis and projected market conditions in the various markets served. 

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with guidance on revenue recognition of multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. Under this guidance, certain products offered by the Company have revenue producing components that are recognized over multiple delivery points (Sharps Recovery System™ (formerly the Sharps Disposal by Mail Systems®) and various TakeAway Environmental Return Systems™ referred to as “Mailbacks” and Sharps® Pump and Asset Return Boxes, referred to as “Pump Returns”) and can consist of up to three separate elements, or units of measure, as follows: (1) the sale of the compliance and container system, (2) return transportation  and (3) treatment service.
 
 
18

 

In accordance with the relative selling price methodology, an estimated selling price is determined for all deliverables that qualify for separate units of accounting.  The actual consideration received in a multiple-deliverable arrangement is then allocated to the units based on their relative sales price.  The selling price for the transportation revenue and the treatment revenue utilizes third party evidence. The Company estimates the selling price of the compliance and container system based on the product and services provided including compliance with local, state and Federal laws, adherence to stringent manufacturing and testing requirements, safety to the patient and the community as well as storage and containment capabilities.

Revenue for the sale of the compliance and container is recognized upon delivery to the customer, at which time the customer takes title and assumes risk of ownership.  Transportation revenue is recognized when the customer returns the compliance and container system and the container has been received at the Company’s facility.  The compliance and container system is mailed or delivered by an alternative logistics provider to the Company’s facility. Treatment revenue is recognized upon the destruction or conversion and proof of receipt and treatment having been performed on the container.  Since the transportation element and the treatment elements are undelivered services at the point of initial sale of the compliance and container system, transportation and treatment revenue is deferred until the services are performed.  The current and long-term portions of deferred revenues are determined through regression analysis and historical trends.  Furthermore, through regression analysis of historical data, the Company has determined that a certain percentage of all container systems sold may not be returned.  Accordingly, a portion of the transportation and treatment elements are recognized at the point of sale.
 
Income Taxes:  The liability method is used in accounting for deferred income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The establishment of valuation allowances and development of projected annual effective tax rates requires significant judgment and is impacted by various estimates. Both positive and negative evidence, as well as the objectivity and verifiability of that evidence, is considered in determining the appropriateness of recording a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
