NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

 

1.Interim Financial Statements

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosure required for complete financial statements are not included herein. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of Psychemedics Corporation (“the Company,” “our Company,” “our” or “we”) as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“10-K”) for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed on February 26, 2016. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016, or any other period.

 

2.Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consisted exclusively of cash in the bank as of December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2016.

 

3.Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (“the Plan”) provides for cash based awards or the grant or issuance of stock-based awards including; options, restricted stock or stock unit awards (SUA’s). As of December 31, 2015, 70,232 shares remained available for future grant under the 2006 Plan. At the 2016 annual meeting, an additional 350,000 shares were approved for grant. There were no other changes to the plan as described in the 10-K.

 

On May 12, 2016, the Company granted SUAs covering 16,600 shares of common stock and options to acquire up to 120,500 shares of common stock. The SUAs vest over a period of two years for non-employee board members and four years for employees and are convertible into an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock provided that the director or employee receiving the award remains employed throughout the vesting period. The stock options become exercisable over two years for non-employee board members and four years for employees and have a term of 10 years. The options have a fair value of $2.34 per share based on the $13.82 grant price and assuming a 6.25 year estimated term, 33% volatility, 1.75% interest rate and a 5.6% dividend yield rate using a Black-Scholes model. The Company records compensation expense related to the SUAs and options on a straight-line basis over the vesting term. Employees are issued shares upon vesting, in the case of SUA’s or upon exercise of options, net of tax withholdings, unless the employee chooses to receive all shares and pay for the associated employment taxes. No other types of equity-based awards have been granted or issued under the 2006 Incentive Plan.

(2)The aggregate intrinsic value on this table was calculated based on the amount, if any, by which the closing market value of the Company’s stock on the June 30, 2016 ($13.74) exceeded the exercise price of the underlying options, multiplied by the number of shares subject to each option.

 

As of June 30, 2016, a total of 541,517 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2006 Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2016, the unamortized fair value of awards relating to outstanding SUAs and options was $1.3 million, which is expected to be amortized over a weighted average period of 3.0 years. The total number of shares available for grant as of June 30, 2016 was 307,392.

4.Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

 

Basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. The number of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period is determined in accordance with the treasury-stock method. Common equivalent shares consist of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options and common stock issuable upon the vesting of outstanding, unvested SUAs. Basic and diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows (in thousands):

 

   Three Months Ended   Six Months Ended 
   June 30,   June 30,   June 30,   June 30, 
   2016   2015   2016   2015 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic   5,443    5,399    5,433    5,387 
Dilutive common equivalent shares   11    9    7    10 
Weighted average common shares outstanding, diluted   5,454    5,408    5,440    5,397 

 

5.Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company has financial instruments, such as accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, which are stated at carrying amounts that approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The carrying amount of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value as the interest rate on the debt approximates the estimated borrowing rate currently available to the company.

 

6.Subsequent Events

 

On July 26, 2016, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share for a total of $819 thousand, which will be paid on August 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on August 5, 2016.

 

7.Commitments and Contingencies

 

The Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company believes that based upon information available to the Company at this time, the expected outcome of these matters would not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.

On March 23, 2016, under the Loan Arrangement, the Company executed a note in the amount of $609 thousand, for total borrowings of $8.7 million. The weighted average interest rate for all notes related to the Loan Agreement for the quarter ended June 30, 2016 was 2.44%, and represented $35,492 of interest expense as compared to a rate of 2.18% and interest expense of $31,478 for the comparable period in 2015. As of June 30, 2016, the interest rate was 2.44% and there was $5.7 million of outstanding debt related to the loan.

2017   1,742 
2018   1,742 
2019   990

10.Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. The new standard will become effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impacts the adoption of this accounting guidance will have on its financial statements.

 

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (“ASU 2016-09”), which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. The new standard will become effective beginning with the first quarter of 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company elected early adoption of ASU 2016-09 in the second quarter of 2016 which was applied using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption of ASU 2016-09 did not materially impact the Company’s financial position, results of operations, equity or cash flows. As a result of our adoption of ASU 2016-09, we recognize the impact of forfeitures when they occur with no adjustment for estimated forfeitures and recognize excess tax benefits as a reduction of income tax expense regardless of whether the benefit reduces income taxes payable. Additionally, we recognize the cash flow impact of such excess tax benefits in operating activities in our condensed statements of cash flows. The cumulative impact upon adoption was a $41 thousand benefit from income taxes and a $60 thousand cumulative adjustment to retained earnings.

OVERVIEW

 

Revenues for the second quarter of 2016 were $9.7 million, an increase of 39% from second quarter 2015 revenue of $7.0 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

At June 30, 2016, the Company had approximately $2.3 million of cash. The Company's operating activities generated net cash of $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Investing activities used $845 thousand of cash while financing activities used $2.0 million of cash during the first six months of 2016.

 

Cash provided by operating activities of $2.4 million reflected net income of $1.6 million adjusted for depreciation and amortization of $1.1 million and stock-based compensation of $348 thousand. This was affected by the following changes in assets and liabilities: an increase in accounts receivable of $1.9 million, a decrease in prepaid expenses, other current assets and income tax receivable of $659 thousand, an increase in accounts payable of $241 thousand, an increase in accrued expenses of $407 thousand and an increase for deferred income taxes of $28 thousand.

 

Cash used in investing activities primarily included equipment and leasehold improvements of $709 thousand which were purchased during the first six months of 2016. We anticipate spending $0.5 million to $1.0 million in additional capital purchases for the remainder of 2016.

 

Cash used by financing activities of $2.1 million primarily included cash dividends to shareholders of $1.6 million and $840 thousand from payments on long term debt, offset by $610 thousand of additional equipment financing. On July 26, 2016, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share for an estimated total of $819 thousand, which will be paid on August 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on August 5, 2016.

 

Contractual obligations and other commercial commitments as of June 30, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

At June 30, 2016, the Company's principal sources of liquidity included an aggregate of approximately $2.3 million of cash and $92 thousand under the equipment financing arrangement available for future equipment purchases.  The Company had $4.7 million and $5.0 million of working capital as of June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Management currently believes that such funds, together with cash generated from operations, should be adequate to fund anticipated working capital requirements and capital equipment expenditures for the next 12 months.  Depending upon the Company's results of operations and capital needs, the Company may use various financing sources to raise additional funds.
