ThermoGenesis Corp.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
ThermoGenesis Corp. (the Company) develops, manufactures, and sells medical products that enable
the practice of regenerative medicine. The Company was founded in 1986 and is located in Rancho
Cordova, California. Our products automate the volume reduction and cryopreservation process of
adult stem cell concentrate from cord blood and bone marrow for use in laboratory and point of care
settings.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
parent company, ThermoGenesis Corp., and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vantus. All significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Interim Reporting
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements
prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such Securities
and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations and accounting principles applicable for
interim periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring
accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for
the six month period ended December 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may
be expected for the year ending June 30, 2010. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue including multiple element arrangements, in accordance with the
provisions of the SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue Recognition and the
Financial Accounting Standards Boards (FASB) Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, Revenue
Agreements with Multiple Deliverables (EITF 00-21), as codified in the FASBs Accounting Standards
Codification (ASC) subtopic 605-25. Revenues from the sale of the Companys products are
recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services
have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
The Company generally ships products F.O.B. shipping point. There is no conditional evaluation on
any product sold and recognized as revenue. All foreign sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance
sheet.
The Companys foreign sales are generally through distributors. There is no right of return
provided for distributors. For sales of products made to distributors, the Company considers a
number of factors in determining whether revenue is recognized upon transfer of title to the
distributor, or when payment is received. These factors include, but are not limited to, whether
the payment terms offered to the distributor are considered to be non-standard, the distributor
history of adhering to the terms of its contractual arrangements with the Company, the level of
inventories maintained by the distributor, whether the Company has a pattern of granting
concessions for the benefit of the distributor, and whether
Page 6
there are other conditions that may indicate that the sale to the distributor is not substantive.
The Company currently recognizes revenue primarily on the sell-in method with its distributors.
Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if
certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a
stand-alone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of any
undelivered items. Revenue is recognized as specific elements indicated in sales contracts are
executed. If an element is essential to the functionality of an arrangement, the entire
arrangements revenue is deferred until that essential element is delivered. The fair value of
each undelivered element that is not essential to the functionality of the system is deferred until
performance or delivery occurs. The fair value of an undelivered element is based on vendor
specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value as appropriate. Costs associated
with inconsequential or perfunctory elements in multiple element arrangements are accrued at the
time of revenue recognition. The Company accounts for training and installation as a separate
element of a multiple element arrangement. The Company therefore recognizes the fair value of
training and installation services upon their completion when the Company is obligated to perform
such services.
Service revenue generated from contracts for providing maintenance of equipment is amortized over
the life of the agreement. All other service revenue is recognized at the time the service is
completed.
Milestone payments the Company receives under research and development arrangements are recognized
as revenue upon achievement of the milestone events, which represent the culmination of the
earnings process, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Milestone payments are triggered
by the results of the Companys development efforts. Accordingly, the milestone payments are
substantially at risk at the inception of the contract, and the amounts of the payments assigned
thereto are commensurate with the milestone achieved. Upon the achievement of a milestone event,
which may include acceptance by the counterparty, the Company has no future performance obligations
related to that milestone as the milestone payments received by the Company are nonrefundable.
For licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company receives up-front licensing fees for
products or technologies that will be provided by the Company over the term of the arrangements,
the Company defers the up-front fees and recognizes the fees as revenue on a straight-line method
over the term of the respective license. For license agreements that require no continuing
performance on the Companys part, license fee revenue is recognized immediately upon grant of the
license.
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net revenues, while the related
costs are included in cost of revenues.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short duration.
The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements, as codified in ASC subtopic 820-10 (ASC 820-10), effective July 1, 2008 for financial
assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. ASC 820-10 applies to all financial assets
and financial liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis and requires
disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair
value measurements. There was no impact for adoption of ASC 820-10 to the Companys consolidated
financial statements.
ASC 820-10 establishes a valuation hierarchy for disclosure of the inputs to valuation used to
measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows.
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted
Page 7
prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially
the full term of the financial instrument. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on
managements own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial
asset or liabilitys classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level
input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company has no Level 3 financial
assets or liabilities as of December 31, 2009.
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of December 31, 2009:

Segment
Reporting
The Company operates in a single segment providing medical devices and disposables to hospitals and
blood banks throughout the world which utilize the equipment to process blood components.
Net
Loss per Share
Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted net loss per
share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock
equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Companys net loss position for all periods presented.
Anti-dilutive securities, which consist of stock options and common stock restricted awards that
were not included in diluted net loss per common share were 3,782,629 and 2,737,831 as of December
31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Subsequent
Events
The Company has evaluated its subsequent events through February 4, 2010, the filing date of the
Companys Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 31, 2009.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
2010 presentation.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 07-1, Accounting for Collaborative
Arrangements, as codified in ASC topic 808 (ASC 808). ASC 808 defines collaborative arrangements
and establishes reporting requirements for transactions between participants in a collaborative
arrangement and between participants in the arrangement and third parties. ASC 808 also
establishes the appropriate income statement presentation and classification for joint operating
activities and payments between participants, as well as the sufficiency of the disclosures related
to these arrangements. ASC 808 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.
ASC 808 shall be applied retrospectively
Page 8
to all prior periods presented for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective
date. The adoption of ASC 808 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or financial condition.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business Combinations, as codified in ASC topic
805 (ASC 805). The statement retains the purchase method of accounting for acquisitions, but
requires a number of changes, including changes in the way assets and liabilities are recognized in
the purchase accounting. It also changes the recognition of assets acquired and liabilities
assumed arising from contingencies, requires the capitalization of in-process research and
development at fair value and requires the expensing of acquisition-related costs as incurred. ASC
805 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the
beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The
Company will assess the potential impact of the adoption of ASC 805 if and when a future
acquisition occurs.
In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures
about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, as codified in ASC subtopic 825-10-65-1. ASC 825-10-65-1
requires disclosures about fair values of financial instruments for interim periods of publicly
traded companies. These disclosures include fair value methods and significant assumptions used.
The adoption of ASC 825-10-65-1 did not have a material impact on the Companys results of
operations or financial condition.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principlesa replacement of FASB Statement No. 162, as
codified in FASB ASC topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (ASC 105). The statement
confirmed that the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) will become the
single official source of authoritative U.S. GAAP (other than guidance issued by the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the SEC), superseding existing FASB, American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants, EITF, and related literature. After that date, only one level of authoritative U.S.
GAAP will exist. All other literature will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification does
not change U.S. GAAP; instead, it introduces a new structure that is organized in an easily
accessible, user-friendly online research system. The Codification, which changes the referencing
of financial standards, becomes effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after
September 15, 2009. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a material impact on the Companys results
of operations or financial condition.
In September 2009, the EITF reached final consensus on a new revenue recognition standard, Issue
No. 09-3, Applicability of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2 to Certain Arrangements That Contain
Software Elements, as codified in FASB Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 985. ASU 985 amends the
scope of AICPA Statement of Position 97-2, Software Revenue Recognition to exclude tangible
products that include software and non-software components that function together to deliver the
products essential functionality. This Issue shall be applied on a prospective basis for revenue
arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15,
2010. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the guidance is retroactively applied at the
beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU
985 on the Companys results of operations or financial condition.
In October 2009, the FASB issued EITF 08-1, Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables,
which is also known as Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2009-13, Revenue Recognition (Topic
605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements (ASU 2009-13). ASU 2009-13 addresses the
accounting for multiple-deliverable arrangements to enable vendors to account for products or
services separately rather than as a combined unit and modifies the manner in which the transaction
consideration is allocated across the separately identified deliverables. ASU 2009-13
significantly expands the disclosure requirements for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements.
ASU 2009-13 will be effective
Page 9
for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, and may be applied
retrospectively for all periods presented or prospectively to arrangements entered into or
materially modified after the adoption date. Early adoption is permitted, provided that the
guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company is
currently evaluating the impact this update will have on our consolidated financial statements.
2. Investments
The Company intends and has the ability to hold its certificates of deposit to maturity, and
therefore classifies its investments as held-to-maturity and carries such investments at amortized
cost in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, as codified in ASC topic 320, Investments-Debt
and Equity Securities (ASC 320).

4. Commitments and Contingencies
Vendor Purchase Commitments
A product manufacturing supplier made purchases of raw materials based on Company provided
forecasts, which the Company may be required to pay for as part of normal manufacturing processes,
including scrap and obsolete parts that result from the Companys product design changes, and or
discontinuation of manufacturing by a particular vendor. These are normal and standard
manufacturing terms, and upon the contract end date, May 2009, the Company recorded an estimated
loss contingency of $160,000 as management considers it probable that the payment will be made.
The Company has initiated discussions with a product manufacturing supplier (Supplier) regarding
various manufacturing and quality issues. The Supplier was instructed to suspend production, but
has incurred some costs under existing purchase orders. The parties have reached a tentative
settlement in which the Company has agreed to pay the Supplier $58,000. Accordingly, the Company
recorded an estimated loss contingency of $58,000 during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as
management considers it probable that the payment will be made.
Warranty
The Company offers a one-year warranty on all of its products. The Company warrants disposable
products through their expiration date. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its
recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Companys product liability during the period are as follows:

As a result of various quality issues experienced by high usage customers of the AXP disposable bag
sets, the Company made revisions to its estimated warranty liability for the three month period
ended September 30, 2009. The Company recorded a change in estimate, which increased the Companys
cost of revenues and net loss (no net loss per share impact) by $190,000. There was no change in
estimate for the quarter ended December 31, 2009.

5. Stockholders Equity
Stock Based Compensation
The Company recorded stock-based compensation of $137,000 and $299,000 for the three and six months
ended December 31, 2009 and $105,000 and $228,000 for the three and six months ended December 31,

Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking
statements contained herein. When used in this report, the words anticipate, believe,
estimate, expect and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The Companys actual results, performance or
achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by these
forward-looking statements. The Company wishes to caution readers of the important factors, among
others, that in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect the Companys actual
results and could cause actual results for fiscal year 2010 and beyond, to differ materially from
those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company. These
factors include without limitation, the ability to obtain capital and other financing in the
amounts and at the times needed to complete clinical trials and product marketing for
Page 12
new products, market acceptance of new products, regulatory approval and time frames for such
approval of new products and new claims for existing products, realization of forecasted income and
expenses, initiatives by competitors, price pressures, failure to meet FDA regulations governing
our products and operations and recalls associated with such regulations, the risks associated with
initiating manufacturing for new products, and the risk factors listed from time to time in the
Companys SEC reports, including, in particular, the factors and discussion in the Companys Form
10-K for fiscal year 2009.
Overview
ThermoGenesis designs, develops and commercializes cell processing products that enable the
practice of regenerative medicine. Our products automate the volume reduction and cryopreservation
process of adult stem cell concentrates from cord blood and bone marrow for use in laboratory and
point of care settings. The Company was founded in 1986 and is located in Rancho Cordova,
California. Our growth strategy is to expand our offerings in regenerative medicine and partner
with other pioneers in the stem cell arena to accelerate our worldwide penetration in this
potentially explosive market.
Recent Developments
On January 29, 2010, the Company and GEHC signed an amendment to their International Distribution
Agreement (the Agreement), effective February 1, 2010. Under the Agreement, which runs through July 31,
2012, GEHC will continue to distribute the AXP product line, excluding certain countries in Latin
America, Asia, CIS, Eastern Europe and the Middle East.
The agreement provides incentives for both the Company and GEHC related to sales success, product quality and delivery.
Additionally, the Agreement
requires GEHC to fund additional marketing support for the first two years. The Agreement will
automatically renew for one year terms unless terminated at least six months prior to the end of
the then current term.
Our Products
The AutoXpress Platform or AXP® is a medical device with an accompanying disposable bag
set that isolates and retrieves stem cells from umbilical cord blood. The AXP provides cord blood
banks with a system to isolate and capture adult stem cells with lower labor costs and a reduced
risk of contamination, under GMPs. Our market for the AXP includes both private and public cord
blood banks. At a private bank, an individual pays to have cord blood stem cells from their
offspring collected and stored, while a public bank owns cord blood stem cells donated by
individuals, which are then available to the public for transplantation. The product is an
automated, closed, sterile system that volume-reduces cord blood to a user defined volume in 30
minutes, able to retain over 93% of the mononuclear cells. Self-powered and
microprocessor-controlled, the AXP contains flow control optical sensors which achieve precise
separation.
The MarrowXpress or MXP, an extension of the AXP, defines a new processing standard for
isolating and retrieving stem cells from bone marrow aspirate. It is an automated, closed, sterile
system that volume-reduces blood to a user-defined volume while retaining over 90% of the
mononuclear cells. Self-powered and microprocessor-controlled, the MarrowXpress Platform contains
flow control optical sensors which achieve precise separation. In June 2008, we received the
CE-Mark, enabling commercial sales in Europe. In July 2008, we received authorization from the FDA
to begin marketing the MXP for use in the clinical laboratory or intraoperatively at the
point-of-care for preparation of a cell concentrate from bone marrow. In September 2008, the
Company announced an agreement with Celling Technologies, a subsidiary of Spine-Smith, LLC, to
distribute the MXP for orthopedic applications. The product was launched in December 2008.
The Res-Q product is also used for bone marrow stem cell processing. Launched in July 2009, the
Res-Q can be used in a clinical laboratory or can be used inter-operatively at the point of care.
The technology is a next generation, centrifuge-based disposable device designed for the isolation
and extraction of specific stem cell populations at the point of care. Res-Q is a rapid, reliable,
and easier-to-
Page 13
use product which achieves a high recovery rate of stem cells from bone marrow. The key advantages
of the Res-Q include (a) delivering a high number of target cells from a small sample of bone
marrow, and (b) providing a disposable that is highly portable and packaged for the sterile field.
These features allow the physician to process bone marrow and return the cells to the patient in as
little as 15 minutes. As cell processing for regenerative medicine applications becomes more
readily accepted, we believe the features and benefits of the Res-Q position the product for
broad-based adoption.
The
BioArchive®
System is an automated cryogenic system used in stem
cell therapy to cryopreserve and archive stem cells for future transplant and treatment. Launched
in fiscal 1998, over 200 BioArchive Systems have been purchased by over 90 umbilical cord blood
stem cell banks in over 30 countries worldwide to archive, cryopreserve and store stem cell
preparations extracted from human placentas and umbilical cords for future use. The BioArchive
System can store over 3,600 stem cell samples. It is the only fully-automated system commercially
available that integrates controlled-rate freezing, sample management and long term cryogenic
storage in liquid nitrogen. The robotic storage and retrieval of these stem cell units improves
cell viability, provides precise inventory management and minimizes the possibility of human error.
We currently manufacture the BioArchive device and outsource the manufacturing of the disposables.
It is our intent to explore outsourcing alternatives for the BioArchive device after completion of
design upgrades.
The Thermoline product line includes the ultra-rapid plasma Thermoline Freezer and ultra-rapid
plasma Thermoline Thawer. The Thermoline freezer optimizes plasma freezing through its unique
liquid heat transfer and uniform freezing technologies that can freeze units of blood plasma in
approximately 30 minutes. These products are suited for medium to large laboratories. We also
offer three models of blood components thawers which vary primarily by capacity. The products
unique flexible membrane technology allows for a closed thawing system. These instruments can be
used for rapid (less than 12 minutes) homogeneous thawing of plasma and glycerolized frozen red
blood cells. During the quarter ended December 31, 2009, we
completed the outsourcing of manufacturing
to a contract manufacturer for the Thermoline devices.
The
CryoSeal®
Fibrin Sealant (CryoSeal) System is an automated system used to prepare an
autologous hemostatic surgical sealant from a patients own blood or from a single donor in
approximately one hour. We received FDA approval to market the CryoSeal in liver resection
surgeries in July 2007. The CryoSeal serves the wound care market. Our intention is to divest
this product line in fiscal 2010.
The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have
affected the Companys financial condition and results of operations during the period included in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Research and Development
In February 2010, we filed a form 510(k) with the FDA seeking market
clearance for the use of the Res-Q technology in the preparation of platelet rich plasma, or PRP, from peripheral blood. PRP therapy is used in regenerative medicine because its rich content of growth
factors enhances wound healing.
Critical Accounting Policies
Managements discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations are based
upon the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of
these consolidated financial statements requires the Company 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, the Company evaluates its estimates,
including those related to bad debts, inventories, warranties, contingencies and litigation. The
Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from
other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions. For a full discussion of our accounting estimates and assumptions
Page 14
that the Company has identified as critical in the preparation of our condensed consolidated
financial statements, please refer to our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 as Compared to the Three Months
Ended December 31, 2008
Net Revenues:
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2009 were $5,955,000 compared to $6,126,000 for
the three months ended December 31, 2008, a decrease of $171,000 or 3%. The decrease is primarily
due to lower device and disposable sales in the BioArchive and AXP product lines of $820,000 offset
by new product revenue from MXP disposables and Res-Q devices and disposables of $400,000 and an
increase in freezer revenues of $141,000. The increase in freezer revenues is due to built up
demand as there were no freezer sales in the prior quarter.

Management expects revenues from AXP
disposables to increase in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 2010 as GEHC looks to build its
inventories to meet customer requirements. Additionally management expects continued growth in disposable revenues from its bone marrow products,
MXP and Res-Q.

Gross Profit:
The Companys gross profit was $2,011,000 or 34% of net revenues for the three months ended
December 31, 2009, as compared to $2,213,000 or 36% for the corresponding fiscal 2009 period. The
decrease in gross profit is primarily due to an increase in rework costs associated with the AXP
devices and disposables, the loss contingency of $58,000 to a product manufacturing supplier and
the reversal of $115,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 for the previously accrued voluntary
recall of the AXP bag sets.
Page 15
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,090,000 for the three months ended December
31, 2009, compared to $2,673,000 for the comparable fiscal 2009 period, a decrease of $583,000 or
22%. The decrease is primarily due to a severance accrual of $370,000 during the quarter ended
December 31, 2008 to the Companys former Chief Executive Officer, lower salaries and benefits of
$125,000 as there were fewer positions employed during the quarter ended December 31, 2009 as
compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2008 and lower legal fees of $110,000.
Research and Development Expenses:
Included in this line item are engineering, regulatory affairs, scientific and clinical affairs.
Research and development expenses were $1,400,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2009,
compared to $1,298,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2009 period, an increase of $102,000 or 8%.
The increase is primarily due to the termination of the consulting agreement with the Companys
former Chief Technology Architect effective October 1, 2009 for $240,000 offset by the reduction of
costs associated with the Vantus subsidiary during the three months ended December 31, 2008 of
$100,000.
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2009 as Compared to the Six Months
Ended December 31, 2008
Net Revenues:
Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2009 were $11,148,000 compared to $10,628,000 for
the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $520,000 or 5%. The increase is primarily
due to new product revenue from the MXP and Res-Q product lines of approximately $900,000 offset by
a decrease in BioArchive product line revenues of $420,000, primarily due to device sales.

Gross Profit:
The Companys gross profit was $3,568,000 or 32% of net revenues for the six months ended December
31, 2009, as compared to $3,493,000 or 33% for the corresponding fiscal 2009 period. The decrease
in gross profit is primarily due an increase in rework costs associated with the AXP devices and
disposables, the loss contingency of $58,000 to a product manufacturing supplier and vendor
qualification costs paid to our new contract manufacturers. These decreases are offset by the
accrual for the voluntary recall of AXP bag sets during the six months ended December 31, 2008.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,253,000 for the six months ended December 31,
Page 16
2009, compared to $5,120,000 for the comparable fiscal 2009 period, a decrease of $867,000 or 17%.
As noted above, the decrease is due to the severance accrual to the former chief executive officer,
lower salaries and benefits and legal fees.
Research and Development Expenses:
Included in this line item are engineering, regulatory affairs, scientific and clinical affairs.
Research and development expenses were $2,994,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2009,
compared to $2,898,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2009 period, an increase of $96,000. The
increase is primarily due to an increase in the costs incurred to complete development of the Res-Q
product of $200,000 and the termination of the consulting agreement of $240,000 as noted above.
These increases were offset by the reduction of costs associated with the Vantus subsidiary during
the six months ended December 31, 2008 of $290,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2009, the Company had cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of
$11,210,000 and working capital of $17,184,000. This compares to cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments of $15,631,000 and working capital of $20,923,000 at June 30, 2009. The
cash was used to fund operations, capital expenditures and other strategic initiatives of the
Company. In addition to product revenues, the Company has primarily financed operations through
the private and public placement of equity securities and has raised approximately $108,000,000,
net of expenses, through common and preferred stock financings and option and warrant exercises.
Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2009 was $4,018,000,
primarily due to the net loss of $3,657,000, offset by depreciation and stock based compensation
expense of $236,000 and $299,000, respectively. Accounts receivable utilized $863,000 and
inventories generated $559,000 of cash as a result of increased revenues from the fourth quarter of
fiscal 2009. Accrued payroll utilized $556,000 of cash as a result of making payments on
previously accrued severance agreements to former management.
We believe that our currently available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be
sufficient to satisfy our operating and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve
months. We have experienced some slowing in our customers spending as a result of deterioration
in credit markets. As we expect this trend to continue, we have reduced expenses without sacrificing development plans we consider essential to our near term revenue growth.
Our ability to fund our longer-term cash needs is subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our controlSee Part I Item 1ARisk Factors set forth in our annual report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. Should we require additional funding, such as additional capital investments, we may need to raise the required additional funds
through bank borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities.
We cannot assure that such funding will be available in needed quantities or on terms favorable to us, if at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2009, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Backlog
The Companys cancelable backlog at December 31, 2009 was $4,506,000. Our backlog consists of
product orders for which a customer purchase order has been received and is scheduled for shipment
within the next twelve months. Orders are subject to cancellation or rescheduling by the customer,
sometimes with a cancellation charge. Due to timing of order placement, product lead times,
changes in product delivery schedules and cancellations, and because sales will often reflect
orders shipped in the same quarter received, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily
indicative of sales for any succeeding period.
Page 17
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk represents the risk of changes in the value of market risk sensitive instruments caused
by fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. There have been no
material changes in the Companys exposure to market risk since the 2009 fiscal year end.
Our exposure to interest rate risk at December 31, 2009 is related to the investment of our excess
cash into highly liquid, short-term financial investments. We invest in money market funds,
certificates of deposit or U.S. Treasury obligations in accordance with our investment policy. The
primary objectives of our investment policy are to preserve principal, maintain proper liquidity to
meet operating needs and maximize yields. Our investment policy specifies credit quality standards
for our investments. We do not hold auction-rate or mortgage-backed securities. Due to the
short-term nature of our investments, we have assessed that there is no material exposure to
interest rate risk arising from them.
All sales, including those involving foreign entities, are denominated in U.S. dollars and as a
result, we have experienced no significant foreign exchange gains and losses to date. We have not
engaged in foreign currency hedging activities to date, and have no intention of doing so. Our
future revenues may be negatively impacted in periods of a strengthening U.S. dollar. We have not
entered into any derivative financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Companys management, including the Companys Principal Executive Officer along with the Companys
Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of
the end of our fiscal quarter pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the
Companys Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There were no changes in the Companys internal controls over financial reporting that occurred
during the three months ended December 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably
likely to materially affect, its internal controls over financial reporting. The Company believes
that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance
that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have
been detected.
Page 18
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of operations, the Company may have disagreements or disputes
with distributors, vendors or employees. Such potential disputes are seen by the
Companys management as a normal part of business.
There are currently no pending actions nor any threatened actions that management
believes would have a significant material impact on the Companys financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully
consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009, which could materially affect
our business, financial condition or future results.
There have been no known material changes during the period ended December 31, 2009
from those risk factors. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are
not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not
currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially
adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating
results.

None.
Item 3. Defaults upon Senior Securities.
