Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 (Unaudited)
 
1. Basis of Presentation
 
The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011 ("2011 Annual Report"). A summary of the Company's significant accounting policies is identified in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2011 Annual Report. There have been no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies subsequent to June 30, 2011.
 
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
 
The consolidated financial statements of MISONIX, INC. ("Misonix" or the "Company") include the accounts of Misonix and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Misonix Limited and Hearing Innovations, Inc. ("Hearing Innovations"). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Organization and Business
 
Misonix is a New York corporation which, through its predecessors, was first organized in 1959. The Company designs, manufactures, develops and markets minimally invasive ultrasonic medical device products. These products include the BoneScalpelTM cutting system which is used among other things for surgical procedures of the spine, the SonaStar® Surgical Aspirator which is used to emulsify and remove soft and hard tumors, the SonicOne® Wound Cleansing and Debridement System (“SonicOne”) that offers tissue specific debridement and cleansing of wounds for effective removal of devitalized tissue and fibrin deposits while sparing viable cells, and the AutoSonix ultrasound cutting and coagulating system which is marketed by Misonix through an agreement with Covidien Ltd. Misonix also markets its Lysonix ultrasound assisted liposuction device through Mentor Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson (“Mentor”). The Company also develops and markets ductless fume enclosures for filtration of gaseous contaminates in the laboratory and forensic markets.
 
For the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, approximately 38% and 27%, respectively, of the Company's net sales were to foreign markets. Sales by the Company in other major industrial countries are made primarily through distributors.
 
Hearing Innovations is located in Farmingdale, New York and is a development company with patented HiSonic ultrasonic technology for the treatment of profound deafness and tinnitus.

Discontinued Operations
 
On August 4, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire Systems, Ltd. ("Labcaire") subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited ("PuriCore Limited") for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million at closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million, payable in equal installments of $250,000 on the next four anniversaries of the closing. During the year ended June 30, 2011, the Company received the first installment. The note receivable was discounted over the four years using a 4% imputed interest rate. This rate was consistent with published discounts. The discounted value of the note ($900,000) was used to determine gain or loss on the sale and the remaining outstanding balance is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet, with the current portion reflected as a component of notes receivable. The Company was also to receive a commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on December 31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through Automated Endoscope Reprocessing ("AER") and Drying Cabinet products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate commission payable to the Company was also to be subject to a maximum payment of $1,000,000. The aggregate commission was not recognized in determining the gain or loss on the sale of Labcaire until the commission was to be paid. As of June 30, 2011, there were no commissions paid. For the year ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss on the sale of Labcaire of $295,879. Results of Labcaire operations have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
 
In January 2011, PuriCore Limited initiated a lawsuit against the Company in the High Court of Justice, Queens Bench Division, Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice, London, England (Claim No. 2011-42) (the "Lawsuit"). In the Lawsuit, PuriCore Limited claimed damages from the Company in respect of breach of warranties contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 4, 2009 (the "SPA"), pursuant to which the Company sold Labcaire to PuriCore Limited. PuriCore Limited claimed damages of £2,167,000 or approximately $3,600,000, plus interest and its legal costs. The Company denied the allegations contained in the Lawsuit.
 
On July 19, 2011, PuriCore Limited and the Company reached an agreement to settle the Lawsuit (the "Settlement"). The Settlement provides that the Company (i) forgive in full PuriCore Limited and PuriCore plc's obligation under the SPA to pay up to $1,000,000 of the previously unrecorded, contingent commissions (as described above); (ii) pay PuriCore, Inc. ("PuriCore"), an affiliate of PuriCore Limited, $650,000 towards PuriCore Limited's legal costs which had been accrued for as of June 30, 2011 and recorded as a component of loss from discontinued operations for the year ended June 30, 2011 and (iii) enter into a Product License and Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2011, with PuriCore (the "Distribution Agreement").

MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 (Unaudited)
 
Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement, the Company has been granted the right to distribute PuriCore's Vashe solution products in the United States, on a private label basis, as an irrigating solution for the treatment of human wound care in conjunction with therapeutic ultrasonic procedures (the "Field"). PuriCore has agreed, subject to modification, not to sell the products that are the subject of the Distribution Agreement (the "Licensed Products") to any other therapeutic ultrasound company for distribution in the Field in the United States ("Exclusivity"). The Company has agreed not to sell or distribute in the United States in the Field any irrigating solution that has anti-microbial properties other than the Licensed Products so long as the Company has Exclusivity.
 
The Distribution Agreement is for a three (3) year term with automatic renewals for successive two (2) year periods; provided that the Company and PuriCore have agreed upon sales volume targets for each renewal period (such volume targets not to increase by more than ten (10%) percent year over year unless otherwise agreed) and provided that the cost terms shall be no less favorable than the twelve (12) months leading up to the start of such renewal period. In no event will the Distribution Agreement survive beyond the expiration or invalidation of all of PuriCore's patents.
 
During the initial term of the Distribution Agreement, the Company is obligated to either purchase or pay a minimum of $2,000,000 in gross margin value to PuriCore for the Licensed Products (the "Minimum Payment"). The Minimum Payment is subject to downward adjustment and elimination in the event that (i) PuriCore chooses to eliminate Exclusivity, (ii) the Company's right to manufacture the Licensed Products under certain conditions has been triggered but the Company is unable to manufacture the Licensed Products or to have the Licensed Products manufactured for it by third parties or (iii) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has made a final determination that prohibits the sale of the Licensed Products for use in the Field.
 
The Company has the right to manufacture the Licensed Products if PuriCore is unable to meet certain performance standards and will pay PuriCore a royalty after the $2,000,000 in gross margin value requirement has been satisfied if the Company is then manufacturing the Licensed Products.
 
During a renewal period, PuriCore may terminate the Distribution Agreement if (i) the Company fails to purchase the agreed upon volume target for such renewal period and does not cure such failure in accordance with the Distribution Agreement or (ii) upon twelve (12) months’ notice.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable, principally trade, are generally due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors aging reports, collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation.
 
2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
 
Basic net income (loss) per common share ("basic EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per common share ("diluted EPS") is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding (principally outstanding common stock options) for the period.
 
The number of weighted average common shares used in the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS were as follows:

   
For the three months ended
 
   
September 30,
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Basic shares
    7,001,370       7,001,370  
Dilutive effect of stock options
           
Diluted shares
    7,001,370       7,001,370  
 
Diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 presented is the same as basic EPS, as the inclusion of the effect of common share equivalents then outstanding would be anti-dilutive. For this reason, excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS are outstanding options to purchase 2,029,165 and 2,010,560 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010, respectively.
 
3. Comprehensive Loss
 
Total comprehensive loss was $883,942 for three months ended September 30, 2011 and $1,017,846 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, respectively. There are no components of comprehensive loss other than net loss for all periods presented.
 
4. Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock options are granted with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our common stock at the time of the grant, with an exercise term (as determined by the committee administering the applicable option plan (the "Committee")) not to exceed 10 years. The Committee determines the vesting period for the Company's stock options. Generally, such stock options have vesting periods of immediate to four years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria, and upon a change in control. During the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company granted options to purchase 233,750 and 219,500 shares of the Company's common stock, respectively.
 
Stock-based compensation expense for the three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $82,000 and $60,000, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized in the general and administrative expenses line item of the Company's statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. As of September 30, 2011, there was approximately $960,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

There was no cash received from the exercise of stock options for three month periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. Cash flows from tax benefits attributable to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows.
 
The fair values of the options granted during the periods ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 were estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the following weighted average assumptions during the respective periods:

   
For the three months

Expected dividend yield
    0.0 %     0.0 %
Weighted-average fair value of options granted
  $ 1.75     $ 1.49  
 
The expected life was based on historical exercises and terminations. The expected volatility for the expected life of the options is determined using historical price changes of the Company’s stock over a period equal to that of the expected life of the options. The risk free rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. The expected dividend yield is 0% as the Company has historically not declared dividends and does not expect to declare any in the future.

5. Income Taxes

There are no federal, state or foreign income tax audits in process as of September 30, 2011. Open tax years related to federal and state income tax filings are for the years ended June 30, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011. The Company files state tax returns in New York and Colorado and its tax returns in those states have never been examined. The Company's foreign subsidiaries, Misonix Limited and Misonix Urology Services Limited (formerly, UKHIFU Limited) file tax returns in England. The England Inland Revenue Service has not examined these tax returns.  Misonix Sarl files tax returns in France. The French tax authorities have not examined these tax returns. As of September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company has no material unrecognized tax benefits.

As of September 30, 2011, the valuation allowance was determined by estimating the recoverability of the deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. In making this assessment, the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based on these considerations, management concluded that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets will not be fully realized.

9. Business Segments
 
The Company currently operates in two business segments which are organized by product types: laboratory and scientific products and medical devices (See Note 13.). Laboratory and scientific products include the AuraTM ductless fume enclosure and forensic equipment primarily used in law enforcement. Medical device products include the AutoSonix™ ultrasonic cutting and coagulatory system, refurbishing revenues of high-performance ultrasound systems and replacement transducers for the medical diagnostic ultrasound industry, ultrasonic lithotriptor, ultrasonic neuroaspirator (used for neurosurgery) and soft tissue aspirator (used primarily for the cosmetic surgery market). The Company evaluates the performance of the segments based upon income from operations less general and administrative expenses, which are maintained at the corporate headquarters (corporate). The Company does not allocate assets by segment as such information is not provided to the chief decision maker. Summarized financial information for each of the segments for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 are as follows:

10. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
 
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
 
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at September 30, 2011:
 
September 30, 2011
 
Carrying Amount
   
Fair Value
 
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 6,206,855     $ 6,206,855  
Trade accounts receivable
    2,050,526       2,050,526  
Trade accounts payable
    1,971,100       1,971,100  
Note receivable – short term
    460,000       460,000  
Note receivable – long term (included in other assets)
    190,000       190,000  
                 
June 30, 2011
 
Carrying Amount
   
Fair Value
 
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 6,881,093     $ 6,881,093  
Trade accounts receivable
    2,294,254       2,294,254  
Trade accounts payable
    1,336,558       1,336,558  
Note receivable – short term
    210,000       210,000  
Note receivable – long term (included in other assets)
    440,000       440,000  
 
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value.
 
Cash and cash equivalents
 
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
 
Trade Accounts Receivable
 
The carrying amount of trade receivables reflects net recovery value and approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.
 
Trade Accounts Payable
 
The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.
 
Note Receivable
 
The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value because the discount rate is fair market value.

Non-financial assets and liabilities
 
Certain non-financial assets and liabilities, principally goodwill, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis; that is the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when evidence of impairment exists. At September 30, 2011 and for the three months then ended, no fair value adjustments or material fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.
 
11. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company's acquisitions of assets of Fibra Sonics, Inc.
 
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. We review goodwill and identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually and whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or products. Application of these impairment tests requires significant judgments, including estimation of cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted-average cost of capital. Changes in the projected cash flows and discount rate estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation of goodwill could materially affect the determination of fair value at acquisition or during subsequent periods when tested for impairment. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal 2011. There were no indicators that the recorded goodwill was impaired as of September 30, 2011 which required further testing.
 
The cost of acquiring or processing patents is capitalized at cost. This amount is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the underlying assets, which is approximately 17 years. Net patents reported in other assets totaled $547,722 and $548,016 at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $437,547 and $420,359 at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month periods ending September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was approximately $16,000 and $15,000, respectively.
 
Net customer relationships reported in other assets totaled $640,000 and $680,000 at September 30, 2011, and June 30, 2011, respectively.  Accumulated amortization amounted to $160,000 at September 30, 2011 and $120,000 at June 30, 2011, respectively.  Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 was $40,000 and $0, respectively.  Customer relationships will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a five year period.
 
The following is a schedule of estimated future amortization expense as of September 30, 2011:

Patents

12. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
  
In December 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-28, When to Perform Step 2 of the Goodwill Impairment Test for Reporting Units with Zero or Negative Carrying Amounts, to modify goodwill impairment testing for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount. Under the amended guidance, an entity must consider whether it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists for reporting units with a zero or negative carrying amount. If it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists, the second step of the goodwill impairment test in ASC 350-20-35 must be performed to measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss, if any. This standard was effective for goodwill impairment analysis for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and became effective for our interim and annual reporting periods beginning July 1, 2011. The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS”). This guidance amends U.S. GAAP to conform with measurement and disclosure requirements in IFRS. The amendments change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements, and they include those that clarify the FASB's intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements and those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. In addition, to improve consistency in application across jurisdictions, some changes in wording are necessary to ensure that U.S.  GAAP and IFRS fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are described in the same way. This amended guidance is to be applied prospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is evaluating the guidance and does not anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 
 
In June 2011, the FASB amended Accounting Standard Codification 220, Comprehensive Income.  The amendment eliminates the current option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity.  In accordance with the amendment, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive statements.  Additionally, reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income to net income will be presented on the face of the financial statements.  The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011, which for us is July 1, 2012, with full retrospective application required.  As a result, the adoption of this standard will change how we present other comprehensive income (loss), which has been historically presented as part of our consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment. Under the revised guidance, companies testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit (i.e. step 1 of the goodwill impairment test). If companies determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that the fair value of the reporting unit is more likely than not less than the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. This update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is evaluating the revised guidance and does not  anticipate that adoption will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
 
13. Subsequent Event

On October 19, 2011, Misonix sold its Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business, which comprises substantially all of the Laboratory and Scientific products segment, to Mystaire, Inc. for $1.5 million in cash plus a potential additional payment of up to an aggregate of $500,000 based upon 30% of net sales in excess of $2.0 million for each of the three years following the closing.  The Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business manufactures and markets ductless fume, laminar airflow, and polymerase chain reaction workstations both domestically and internationally with revenues for fiscal 2011 of approximately $2.1 million.  Misonix will continue for a period of six weeks to manufacture and deliver products for orders received prior to the closing date as well as provide product to the buyer as transition inventory.  As of September 30, 2011, the transaction did not meet the criteria included in Accounting Standards Codification 360, Property, Plant and Equipment to be classified as discontinued operations.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
This Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Misonix and its subsidiaries, in which we refer to as "Misonix", "we", "our", and "us", should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements included in Item 1. "Financial Statements" of this Report and Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on September 20, 2011, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 ("2011 Form 10-K"). Item 7 of the 2011 Form 10-K describes the application of our critical accounting policies, for which there have been no significant changes as of September 30, 2011.
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
This Report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward looking statements contained in this Report will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results specifically discussed in the forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the absence of anticipated contracts, higher than historical costs incurred in the performance of contracts or in conducting other activities, product mix in sales, results of joint ventures and investments in related entities, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and the outcome of legal proceedings as well as management business decisions.
 
Three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010.
 
Net sales: Net sales of the Company's medical device products and laboratory and scientific products increased $481,168 to $3,739,156 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $3,257,988 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change in net sales is due to an increase in sales of medical device products of $524,931 to $3,217,199 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $2,692,268 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change in net sales is partially offset by a decrease in laboratory and scientific products sales of $43,763 to $521,957 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $565,720 for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in therapeutic medical device products was primarily attributable to sales of the Company's Neuroaspirator products. The decrease in laboratory and scientific products sales is primarily due to lower forensic market sales due to the overall state and municipal economic environment.
 
Gross profit: Gross profit increased to 51.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 50.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit for medical device products increased to 54.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 54.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products increased to 30.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 29.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in gross profit percentage in the September 2011 period for laboratory and scientific products is due to lower fixed factory overhead costs.
 
Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $305,400 to $1,270,407 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 from $965,007 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.  Selling expenses for medical device products increased $359,738, primarily due to higher commissions, higher employee related expenses and higher advertising and depreciation expenses. Laboratory and scientific products selling expenses decreased $54,338 due to lower salary and commission expense.
 
General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased $49,985 from $1,217,805 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $1,167,820 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 mainly due to lower rent and insurance costs.
 
Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses decreased $63,268 from $460,494 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $397,226 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations and possible future public or private debt and/or equity offerings. At times, we evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that are complementary to ours, which may require the use of cash. We believe that our cash, other liquid assets and access to equity capital markets, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating expenditures. In the event that they do not, we may require additional funds in the future to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise such additional funds through the sale of public or private equity and/or debt financings, divestiture of current business lines as well as from other sources. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available in the future or that if available, such financing will be obtainable on favorable terms when required.
 
Working capital at September 30, 2011 and June 30, 2011 was $9,664,000 and $10,233,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, cash used in operations totaled $284,000 primarily due to an operating loss of $824,000 partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $175,000, stock based compensation of $82,000, higher accounts payables and other accrued liabilities of $42,000 and lower accounts receivables of $194,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, cash used in investing activities totaled $326,000 due to the combination of the acquisition of fixed assets and the purchase of assets from Aesculap, Inc. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, cash used in financing activities was $4,000.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Market Risk:
 
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest rates on short-term investments.
 
Interest Rate Risk:
 
The Company earns interest on cash balances and pays interest on debt incurred. In light of the Company's existing cash, results of operations, and projected borrowing requirements, the Company does not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
