“Safe Harbor” Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
 
Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical facts constitute forward-looking statements, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created by that Act. Forward looking statements may be identified by words such as “estimates”, “anticipates”, “projects”, “plans”, “expects”, “intends”, “believes”, “should” and similar expressions or the negative versions thereof and by the context in which they are used. Such statements, whether express or implied, are based on current expectations of the company and speak only as of the date made. Reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied. Hemagen undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information or to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which they are made or otherwise.
 
Statements concerning the establishments of reserves and adjustments for dated and obsolete products, expected financial performance, on-going business strategies and possible future action which Hemagen intends to pursue to achieve strategic objectives constitute forward-looking information. All forward looking statements, including those relating to the sufficiency of such charges, implementation of strategies and the achievement of financial performance are each subject to numerous conditions, uncertainties, risks and other factors. Factors which could cause actual performance to differ materially from these forward-looking statements, include, without limitation, management’s analysis of Hemagen’s assets, liabilities and operations, the failure to sell date–sensitive inventory prior to its expiration, competition, new product development by competitors which could render particular products obsolete, the inability to develop or acquire and successfully introduce new products or improvements of existing products, recessionary pressures on the economy and the markets in which our customers operate, costs and difficulties in complying with the laws and regulations administered by the United States Food and  Drug Administration, changes in the relative strength of the U.S. Dollar and Brazilian Reals, unfavorable political or economic developments in Brazilian operations, the ability to assimilate successfully product acquisitions and other factors disclosed in our reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filed with the SEC.

HEMAGEN DIAGNOSTICS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2010 and 2009

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc.  (“Hemagen” or the “Company”) has prepared the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission instructions to Form 10-Q.  These financial statements should be read together with the financial statements and notes in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  The accompanying financial statements reflect all adjustments and disclosures, which, in the Company’s opinion, are necessary for fair presentation.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire year.

NOTE 2- RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Effective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) became the single official source of authoritative, nongovernmental GAAP in the United States. The historical GAAP hierarchy was eliminated and the ASC became the only level of authoritative GAAP, other than rules and interpretative releases issued by the SEC.  Our accounting policies were not affected by the conversion to ASC during the period ended September 30, 2009.  However, references to specific accounting standards in the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements have been changed to refer to the appropriate section of the ASC.  

The Subsequent Events Topic of the FASB ASC establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosure of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This accounting standard sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.  This standard also sets forth the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date. This accounting standard is effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.  In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09 which amended ASC 855. This amendment, which was effective upon issuance, removed the requirement for SEC registrants to disclose the date through which such registrants have evaluated subsequent events.

In October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance (ASC ASU No. 2009-13) for multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, which amends previously issued guidance to require an entity to use and estimate selling price when vendor specific objective evidence or acceptable third party evidence does not exist for any products or services included in a multiple element arrangement.  The arrangement consideration should be allocated among the products and services based upon their relative selling prices, thus eliminating the use of the residual method of allocation.  This standard also requires expanded qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding significant judgments made and changes in applying this guidance.  This standard is effective on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010.  Early adoption and retrospective application are also permitted.  We are in the process of evaluating when we will adopt this guidance and whether the adoption will have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flow.

 

 


NOTE 3- EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per common share are computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the three and six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.  Diluted earnings per common share is computed based on common shares outstanding plus the effect of dilutive stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents consisting of stock options and convertible debentures.  The dilutive effect of stock options and other potentially dilutive common stock equivalents is determined using the treasury stock and if-converted method based on the Company’s average stock price for the period.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.

Under SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment” we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of our awards on the date of grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing formula that uses the assumptions noted in the table and discussion that follows:

    --       1.67 %     --       1.67% - 2.45 %
Expected life in years
    --       1.5       --       1.5  

We have elected to incur stock-based compensation expense over the requisite service period.  We have estimated forfeitures and incur expense on shares we expect to vest.

As of March 31, 2010, there was $9,302 of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements that we expect to vest. This cost will be fully incurred within 5 years.  The options both issued and exercisable as of March 31, 2009 have no intrinsic value.

NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT

The Company has a revolving line of credit with Bay National Bank (the "Bank") for the purpose of financing working capital needs as required which pursuant to its original terms was scheduled to expire on April 1, 2010.

However, in connection with a capital restoration plan that it has announced pubicly, the Bank has granted Hemagen a three month extension until August 1, 2010 to relocate the line of credit.  We are currently talking with several parties and hope that we will be able to secure a line of credit elsewhere but can give no assurances that our efforts will be successful. Our Bay National line of credit facility provides for borrowings up to $500,000 at an interest rate of Prime Rate plus .75%, with an interest rate floor of 5.5%.  Maximum borrowings under the loan are based on the domestic receivables and inventory of the Company.  The line of credit facility has a first lien on all assets of the Company.  As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $398,000 with an effective interest rate of 5.50%.   As of March 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.


 

 

 
NOTE 7 – SENIOR SUBORDINATED SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

During September 2009, the Company completed an Exchange Offer of its senior subordinated secured convertible notes due on September 30, 2009. The Company offered to exchange new, modified 8% Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes due 2014 for the outstanding 8% Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes due 2009. The principal features of the Exchange Offer included $4,049,858 principal amount of Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Notes, due September 30, 2014, which bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, paid quarterly, convertible by holders into Common Stock at $0.35 per share. The Company can require the conversion of these Modified Notes to Common Stock at any time after the Common Stock trades at or above $0.70 for fifteen consecutive trading days.

The Company has accounted for the Exchange Offer as though the exchange of the entire amount of $4,049,858 of the Outstanding Notes was effective as of September 30, 2009, because at September 30, 2009 all of the terms and conditions for the consummation of the Exchange Offer had been satisfied.

The Modified Notes are secured by a first lien on all real, tangible and intangible property except that the terms of the Modified Notes provide that the Modified Notes are subordinate to the following: (i) a credit facility that is equal to or less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000), (ii) any secured financing that is greater than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000), provided that (A) the Company provides the Holder twenty (20) business days’ written notice of such secured financing, and (B) all of the funds raised in connection with such secured financing shall be used to reduce, on a pro rata basis, the principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest owed on the Modified Notes, (iii) real estate financing that the Company may incur for the purchase of a corporate facility provided that the annual mortgage payments are less than the rent expense that the Company pays in the year of such purchase for its leased facilities, and (iv) secured financing not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) at any one time for the purpose of financing an acquisition by the Company of the business of another person or entity.

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

Refer to "Forward Looking Statements" following the Index in front of this Form 10-Q.

Following is a discussion and analysis of the financial statements and other statistical data that management believes will enhance the understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto beginning on page 1.

Overview

Hemagen Diagnostics, Inc. is a biotechnology company that develops, manufactures, and markets approximately 68 FDA-cleared proprietary medical diagnostic test kits.  Hemagen has two different product lines.  The Virgo® product line of diagnostic test kits is used to aid in the diagnosis of certain autoimmune and infectious diseases, using ELISA, Immunoflourescence, and hemagglutination technology.  The Analyst® product line is an FDA-cleared clinical chemistry analyzer system, including consumables, that is used to measure important constituents in human and animal blood. The Company sells its products both directly and through distributors to reference labs, physicians, veterinarians, clinical laboratories and blood banks. The Company also sells its products on a private-label basis through multinational distributors. The Company was incorporated in 1985 and became a public company in 1993.

Hemagen’s principal office is located at 9033 Red Branch Road, Columbia, Maryland 21045 and the telephone number is (443) 367-5500.  Hemagen maintains a website at www.hemagen.com .  Investors can obtain copies of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission from this site free of charge as well as from the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.

Critical Accounting Policies
We have identified certain accounting policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations.  The impact and any associated risks related to the identified critical accounting policies on our business operations are discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Results of Operations

The Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2010
Compared to the Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2009

Revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2010 increased by approximately $120,000 (9%) to approximately $1,421,000 from approximately $1,301,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2009.  The overall increase in revenues is mainly attributable to an increase in sales from our Brazilian subsidiary of approximately $161,000 during the current year verses the same period last year, as well as an improvement in the Brazilian currency, the Real, this quarter verses the year ago quarter. The Real to the dollar averaged 1.81 during the current quarter as compared to 2.33 for the same quarter a year ago. Sales in the Analyst division increased by approximately $35,000 over the same quarter last year. However, such increases were offset by a decrease in sales in the autoimmune line of approximately $62,000 from the same period last year.
 
Cost of product sales decreased approximately $10,000 (1%) to approximately $766,000 from approximately $776,000 for the same period a year ago.  Cost of product sales as a percentage of sales decreased to 53% from 59% from the same period last year. This decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of sales is primarily attributed to the higher sales volume and a reduction in outside consulting expenses.

Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $11,000 (68%) to approximately $5,000 during the second quarter of 2010. There was approximately $16,000 of expenses during the same quarter in 2009.  This decrease was the result of the reduction of certain outside consulting expenses.

The Company continues toward working to complete several research and development programs including:

·
Taking steps related to upgrading the Analyst instrument and product offerings such as evaluating and developing complimentary products for Hemagen’s Analyst product line to distribute to the veterinary market and alternative tests utilizing the Analysts’ rotor technology;

·
Developing new ELISA kits and enhancing existing ELISA kits; and

·
Developing and enhancing IFA kits.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $77,000 (13%) for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $496,000 from approximately $573,000 in the previous period.  Approximately half of this decrease in expenses resulted lower headcount and the remainder was a reduction in travel expenses during the quarter.

Total other expenses for the three months ending March 31, 2010 decreased by $43,000 to approximately $55,000 from approximately $98,000 from the period ending March 31, 2009.  The decrease in net other expense is primarily attributed to the following:  a decrease in amortization expense on the Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes of approximately $20,000 during the current quarter, and the recognition of a gain on the sale of equipment during the current quarter of approximately $25,000. The Senior Subordinated Convertible Notes were refinanced during September of 2009 and there is no longer any discount being recognized in fiscal 2010.

Income tax expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $37,000 as compared to approximately $1,000 of expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  This tax expense resulted from income realized at the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary.  The net income before tax for the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary for the period ending March 31, 2010 was approximately $81,000 compared to net income before tax of approximately $20,000 for the prior year. The Brazilian income tax is calculated at an effective rate of approximately 29% year to date which includes the fact that there are net loss carry forwards being utilized from prior periods.

Net income for the period increased by approximately $226,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 to net income of approximately $63,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $163,000 in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net income is directly attributable to higher sales and a reduction of expenses.
 
The Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2010
Compared to the Six Month Period Ended March 31, 2009

Revenues for the six month period ended March 31, 2010 decreased by approximately $114,000 (4%) to approximately $2,573,000 from $2,687,000 for the same period ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in revenues is attributed primarily to the decline in sales in the Analyst® division during the six month period ending March 31, 2010 of approximately $90,000 verses the prior year quarter, a decrease in the autoimmune line, excluding sales to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary, dropped approximately $164,000 during the current period but was offset by an increase in sales from the Brazilian subsidiary.  Although sales in local Brazilian currency were approximately R$213,000 lower from that of the prior year, the stabilization of the Brazilian Real resulted in increased overall US sales. The average exchange rates for the six month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were 1.78 and 2.31, respectively.

Cost of product sales decreased by approximately $245,000 (14 %) to approximately $1,409,000 from approximately $1,654,000 for the same period last year.  Cost of product sales as a percentage of sales decreased to approximately 54% compared to 61% for the same period last year. The decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was due to a reduction of operating expenses due to headcount, reduced certain outside consulting services expenses and reduced facilities maintenance expenses.

Research and development expenses decreased by approximately $17,000 (43%) during the six months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $22,000 from $39,000 in 2009.  This decrease was the result of an employee termination and a reduction of certain outside consulting expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $167,000 (13%) for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to approximately $1,027,000 from approximately $1,194,000 in the previous period.  The decrease in expenses was due to reduced headcount and reduced travel and entertainment expenses during the current year.

Total other expenses for the six months ending March 31, 2010 decreased by approximately $15,000 to approximately $139,000 from approximately $154,000 from the six month period ending March 31, 2009.  Approximately $39,000 of this lower expense was due to the fact that during 2010 there was no amortization expense incurred related to the Senior Subordinated Convertible notes. This expense savings was offset by a decrease in interest income of approximately $10,000 which occurred due to the declining principal balance on the Note receivable. There was also a net decrease of approximately $18,000 in the amounts recorded as a gain on the sale of assets between the two periods.

Income tax expense for the six months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $47,000 as compared to $16,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009.  This tax expense resulted from income realized at the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary.  The income before tax for the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary for the six-month period ending March 31, 2010 was approximately $157,000 compared to a net loss before tax of approximately $42,000 in the prior year. The Brazilian income tax is calculated at an effective rate of approximately 29% which takes into consideration our use of  net loss carry forwards from prior periods.

Net loss decreased by approximately $300,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2010 to a net loss of approximately $71,000 compared to a net loss of approximately $371,000 in the six month period ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease in net loss was the result of higher margins and a reduction of operating expenses during 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At March 31, 2010, Hemagen had $143,621 of cash, working capital of $1,524,038 and a current ratio of 2.2 to 1.0.  At September 30, 2009, the Company had $156,314 of cash, working capital of $1,370,200 and a current ratio of 1.9 to 1.0.

The Company has a revolving line of credit with Bay National Bank (the "Bank") for the purpose of financing working capital needs as required which pursuant to its original terms was scheduled to expire on April 1, 2010.

However, in connection with a capital restoration plan that it has announced publicly, the Bank has granted Hemagen a three month extension until August 1, 2010 to relocate the line of credit.  We are currently talking with several parties and hope that we will be able to secure a line of credit elsewhere but can give no assurances that our efforts will be successful. Our Bay National line of credit facility provides for borrowings up to $500,000 at an interest rate of Prime Rate plus .75%, with an interest rate floor of 5.5%.  Maximum borrowings under the loan are based on the domestic receivables and inventory of the Company.  The line of credit facility has a first lien on all assets of the Company.  As of March 31, 2010, the outstanding balance on the line of credit was $398,000 with an effective interest rate of 5.50%.   As of May 14, 2010 the current outstanding balance on the line of credit remained at $398,000.   As of March 31, 2010, the Company was in compliance with its debt covenants.

The Company believes that cash flow from operations and cash on hand at March 31, 2010 will be sufficient to finance its operations for the remainder of fiscal 2010, however, the Company can give no assurances that it will have sufficient cash finance its operations.  The Company has no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

On September 30, 2009, the Company successfully completed an Exchange Offer of $4,049,858 of Old Notes, for Modified Notes due September 30, 2014.  The Modified Notes bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, paid quarterly, convertible by holders into Common Stock at $0.35 per share after September 30, 2009.  The Company can require the conversion of the Modified Notes to Common Stock at any time after the Common Stock trades at or above $0.70 for fifteen consecutive trading days.
 
Net cash used by operating activities during the six months ended March 31, 2010 was approximately $126,000 compared to cash provided of approximately $77,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2009.  This disparity from year to year was caused mainly by the increase in accounts receivable of approximately $59,000 in the current year compared to a decrease in accounts receivable due to collections in the prior year of approximately $157,000 and the reduction of prepaid expenses of approximately $169,000 during the period ending March 31, 2009 due mainly to the recognition of Brazilian taxes recoverable and the receipt of prepaid items.

Approximately $142,000 of cash was generated from investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to approximately $45,000 of cash generated by investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2009.  Cash was generated by the payments made on the Note receivable and the sale of a piece of lab equipment.  During the six months ended March 31, 2009 the Company purchased approximately $112,000 of lab equipment for use in the Brazil operations. This expenditure accounts for the majority of the difference in the year to year comparisons.

In accordance with the terms on the Note with the purchaser of Raichem, the Company received payments in the amount of $105,000, for both six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, against the Note receivable.

Cash used in financing activities was approximately $29,000 during the six months ended March 31, 2010, compared to cash used in financing activities of approximately $106,000 for the six months ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the reduction in the payments on the notes related to equipment to be placed in customer labs in Brazil that were financed through the Brazilian subsidiary. During the six months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company made payments against this note in the amount of approximately
$27,000 and $81,000, respectively. We expect that this note will be paid in full by the end of the third quarter of 2010. The Company also made payments against its line of credit in each period ending March 31, 2010 and 2009, in the amounts of $2,000 and $25,000, respectively.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Not applicable.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, William P. Hales and Principal Financial Officer, Catherine Davidson have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010. Based upon this evaluation, Mr. Hales and Ms. Davidson believe that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2010 except for the matters described below.

Management is aware that there is a lack of segregation of duties due to the small number of employees within the financial and administrative functions of the Company. As a result of the limitations of the resources and segregation of duties, Stegman and Company, the Company’s current auditor, has informed the company that these limitations represent a material weakness in internal controls. Management will continue to evaluate this segregation of duties issue. Over the past several months, management has documented the Company’s critical control procedures and will continue to review and update such procedures as changes occur.

There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of internal control that occurred during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, Hemagen’s internal control over financial reporting.
