Quarterly Report
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere herein.
(a) Forward-Looking Statements
This 10-Q includes statements that are not purely historical and are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), including statements regarding our expectations, beliefs, intentions or strategies regarding the future. All statements other than historical fact contained in this 10-Q, including, without limitation, statements regarding future capital guidance, acquisition strategies, strategic partnership expectations, technological developments, the development, the availability of necessary components, research and development programs and distribution plans, are forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this 10-Q are based on information available to us on the date hereof, and we assume no obligation to update such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to have been correct or that we will take any actions that may presently be planned.
(b) General
Since our inception, we have been primarily involved in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing/distribution of diagnostic tests for sale to clinical laboratories. We currently market 52 products covering autoimmune disorders, vascular diseases, infectious diseases and liver disease. Our products are sold in the United States, the UK and other countries through our marketing and sales organization that includes direct sales representatives, contract sales representatives, internationally through an extensive distributor network, and to several significant OEM partners.
We manufacture products for inventory based upon expected sales demand, shipping products to customers, usually within 24 hours of receipt of orders if in stock. Accordingly, we do not operate with a significant customer order backlog.
Except for the fiscal years ending June 30, 1997, 2009, and 2011 we have experienced revenue growth since our inception, primarily from sales of products and contract revenues from strategic partners. Contract revenues consist of service fees from research and development agreements with strategic partners.
Beginning in fiscal year 1996, we began adding third-party OM licensed products to our diagnostic product line. Currently we sell 128 products licensed from or manufactured by third party manufacturers. We expect to expand our relationships with other companies in the future to gain access to additional products.
Although, as previously stated, we have experienced growth in revenues every
year since 1990, except for 1997, 2009, and 2011, there can be no assurance
that, in the future, we will sustain revenue growth, current revenue levels, or
achieve or maintain profitability. Our results of operations may fluctuate
significantly from period-to-period as the result of several factors, including:
(i) whether and when new products are successfully developed and introduced,
(ii) market acceptance of current or new products, (iii) seasonal customer
demand, (iv) whether and when we receive research and development payments from
strategic partners, (v) changes in reimbursement policies for the products that
we sell, (vi) competitive pressures on average selling prices for the products
that we sell, and (vii) changes in the mix of products that we sell.

Cost of revenues. Total cost of revenues, as a percentage of sales, were 56.9% for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus 54.6% for the prior fiscal year. The primary reasons for the increase for the quarter were the product sales mix, which was much more heavily weighted towards lower margin sales such as contract manufacturing, OEM sales and international product sales, in addition to the increased revenue generated from contract R & D and grants, which carry a much higher cost of revenues than do our core products. The following table shows, for the quarters ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the composition of the cost of revenues, between the cost of sales related to our core business and that the cost of revenues related to our contract research and development and grant revenues, and their relative percentage of related revenues.

Selling and marketing expenses. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, selling and marketing expenses decreased $13,271 or 3.0% to $435,128 from $448,399 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The $13,271 decrease versus the prior year resulted primarily from decreases of $31,813 in labor-related expenses, $16,334 trade show and travel related expenses, and $6,695 in advertising expense, partially offset by a net increase of $41,571 in other selling and marketing expenses.
Research and development expenses. Gross research and development expenses, prior to the reclassification of a portion of said expenses to cost of sales, decreased $29,221 or 9.6% to $275,406 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, from $304,627 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The $29,221 decrease versus the prior year resulted primarily from decreases of $11,991 laboratory supplies and $3,783 in travel-related expenses, plus a net decrease of $13,447 in other research and development expenses.
General and administrative expenses. For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses increased $8,510 or 1.8% to $479,177 from $470,667 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. This increase was primarily a result of a $48,796 increase in labor-related expense, partially offset by a net decrease of $40,286 for the period.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $23,391, or 81.0% to $5,495 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012, from $28,886 for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. This substantial decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the considerably lower borrowings for the current period.

Cost of revenues. Total cost of revenues, as a percentage of sales, were 57.1% for the six months ended December 31, 2012 versus 53.2% for the prior fiscal year. The primary reasons for the increase for the six month period were the product sales mix, which was much more heavily weighted towards lower margin sales such as contract manufacturing, OEM sales and international product sales, in addition to the increased revenue generated from contract R & D and grants, which carry a much higher cost of revenues than do our core products.

Selling and marketing expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2012, selling and marketing expenses decreased $81,247 or 8.5% to $876,478 from $957,725 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The $81,247 decrease versus the prior year resulted primarily from decreases of $84,903 in labor-related expenses and $29,909 in trade show and travel related expenses, partially offset by a net increase of $33,565 in other selling and marketing expenses.
Research and development Expenses. Gross Research and development expenses, prior to the reclassification of a portion of said expenses to cost of sales, increased $70,207 or 12.0% to $654,288 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, from $584,081 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The $70,207 increase versus the prior year resulted primarily from increases of $46,966 in labor-related expenses and $48,068 in laboratory supplies, partially offset by a net decrease of $24,827 in other research and development expenses.
General and administrative expenses. For the six months ended December 31, 2012, general and administrative expenses increased $12,439 or 1.4% to $908,015 from $895,576 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The $12,439 increase versus the prior year resulted primarily from increases of $71,514 in labor-related expenses, partially offset by a net decrease of $59,075 in other general and administrative expenses.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $77,214, or 86.7% to $11,894 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, from $89,108 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. This substantial decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the considerably lower borrowings for the current period.
(d) ADJUSTED EBITDA
Our adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, non cash expense associated with stock-based compensation and the one-time costs associated with exit or disposal activities ("Adjusted EBITDA") increased $129,909 or 385.5% to $163,606 for the quarter ended December 31, 2012 compared with $33,397 for the corresponding three month period in fiscal 2011. For the six month period ended December 31, 2012, adjusted EBITDA increased $311,540 or 198.2% to $468,740 compared with $157,200 for the corresponding six month period in fiscal 2011. Although Adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure of performance or liquidity, we believe that it may be useful to an investor in evaluating our ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital guidance. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net earnings (loss) can be made by adding depreciation and amortization expense, corporate stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income tax expense to net income (loss) as in the following table:

(e) Financing Agreements
On July 14, 2011, we entered into a Revolving Credit and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with LSQ Funding Group, L.C., a Florida limited liability company ("LSQ").
Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, LSQ is providing a line of credit (the "Line") to us under which LSQ agrees to make loans to us in the maximum principal amount outstanding at any time of $1,500,000. The maximum amount of the loans under the Line shall also be governed by a borrowing base equal to 85% of Eligible Accounts Receivable plus 50% of Eligible Inventory, with certain limits and exclusions more fully set forth in the Loan Agreement.
Interest accrues on the average outstanding principal amount of the loans under the Line at a rate equal to 0.043% per day.
Loans under the Line may be repaid and such repaid amounts re-borrowed until the maturity date. Unless terminated by us or accelerated by LSQ in accordance with the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Line will terminate and all loans there under must be repaid on July 14, 2013.
The Loan Agreement contains certain representations, warranties, covenants and events of default typical in financings of this type, including, for example, limitations on additional debt and investments and limitations on the sale of additional equity by us or other changes in our ownership. Please refer to the Loan Agreement for all such representations, warranties, covenants and events of default.
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, we granted to LSQ a security interest in all of our personal property to secure the repayment of the loans under the Line and all other of our obligations to LSQ, whether under the Loan Agreement or otherwise.
We have used the money we received under the Loan Agreement and the Line to pay off our outstanding debt obligations to Summit Financial Resources, L.P. ("Summit"), which totaled $732,894 as of July 14, 2011, which was the date of payment. Such payment resulted in our indebtedness and obligations owing to Summit being terminated and satisfied in full.
In accordance with the July 10, 2010 Common Stock Purchase Agreement with ELITech and Wescor, Wescor purchased $2,000,000 of the Company's common stock in three installments or tranches, and received warrants to purchase additional shares. Pursuant to the First Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on July 16, 2010, Wescor invested $1,250,000 to purchase 8,333,334 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration the Company issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 4,166,667 shares at $0.15 per share. Pursuant to the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor invested $250,000 to purchase 1,666,667 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 833,333 shares at $0.15 per share. Pursuant to the Third Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, In July 2011, Wescor invested $500,000 to purchase 3,333,334 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share.
In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, at the initial closing, which occurred on July 16, 2010, we entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with ELITech UK, and we entered into the Joint Product Development Agreement with ELITech. Under the terms and conditions of the Master Distribution Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the closing of the Second Tranche, ELITech UK became the exclusive distributor of the Company's Products (as that term is defined therein) outside of North America. Accordingly, we along with Corgenix UK assigned and/or transferred the economic benefit to ELITech UK, and ELITech UK assumed all of the obligations of the Company or Corgenix UK under all distribution agreements executed by us or Corgenix UK, as the case may be, related to any distributor whose territory is outside of North America.
(f) Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2012, our working capital increased by $636,920 to $4,281,558 from $3,644,638 at June 30, 2012, and concurrently, our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) increased from 4.16 to 1 at June 30, 2012 to 5.86 to 1 at December 31, 2012. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to the net income for the period in addition to the cash provided by the issuance of common stock.
At December 31, 2012, trade receivables were $1,552,680 versus $1,396,938 at June 30, 2012. Accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued expenses decreased by a combined $264,694 to $740,612 from $1,005,306 at June 30, 2012. At December 31, 2012, inventories decreased $5,827 to $2,112,842 versus $2,118,669 at June 30, 2012.
For the six months ended December 31, 2012, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $10,207, versus cash provided by operating activities of $143,587 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in the cash provided by operations for the current six month period resulted primarily from the increases in accounts receivable and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, which more than offset the increase in the net income realized for the current period.
Net cash used by investing activities, the purchase of laboratory equipment, leasehold improvements and computer equipment, was $43,477 six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to net cash used by investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 totaling $23,300.
Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $16,756 for the six months ended December 31, 2012 compared to net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended December 31, 2011 totaling $403,662. This increase versus the comparable prior year was primarily due to the significantly lower borrowings for the current period.
We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since our inception, net of accreted dividends on redeemable common and redeemable preferred stock, have aggregated $13,956,526 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through long-term debt, factoring of accounts receivables, and the sales of common stock, redeemable common stock, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. We have developed and are continuing to modify an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability, positive cash flow from operations, and an adequate level of financial liquidity. Key components of this plan include consistent revenue growth and the cash to be derived from such growth, as well as the expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, securing diagnostic-related government contracts and grants, improving operating efficiencies to reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering our overall operating expenses. If our sales were to decline, are flat, or achieve very slow growth, we would undoubtedly incur operating losses and a decreasing level of liquidity for that period of time. In view of this, and in order to further improve our liquidity and operating results, we entered into the ELITech collaboration and investment.
In summary, the cash provided by operating and financing activities was more than offset by the net cash used in investing activities, resulting in a net decrease in cash of $16,514 for the current six month period.
We believe that our current working capital, in conjunction with our current revised profitable forecasts indicating profitability for the current fiscal year, should provide adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months.
(g) Off -Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
(h) Contractual Obligations and Commitments
On February 8, 2006, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the "Lease") with York County, LLC, a California limited liability company ("York") pursuant to which we leased approximately 32,000 rentable square feet (the "Property") of York's approximately 102,400 square foot building, commonly known as Broomfield One and located at 11575 Main Street, Broomfield, Colorado 80020.
