NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

Note 1. Organization, Use of Estimates and Basis of Presentation

 

Champions Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”), is engaged in the development of advanced technology solutions and services to personalize the development and use of oncology drugs. The Company’s Tumorgraft Technology Platform is a novel approach to personalizing cancer care based upon the implantation of human tumors in immune-deficient mice. The Company uses this technology to derive revenue for two customer groups: Personalized Oncology Solutions (“POS”) and Translational Oncology Solutions (“TOS”). POS assists physicians in developing personalized treatment options for their cancer patients through tumor specific data obtained from drug studies and related personalized oncology services. The Company’s TOS business offers a technology platform to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies using proprietary Tumorgraft studies, which have been shown to be predictive of how drugs may perform in clinical settings.

 

The Company has two operating subsidiaries: Champions Oncology (Israel), Limited and Champions Biotechnology U.K., Limited. For the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no material revenues earned by these subsidiaries. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, all of which have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, have been translated into the U.S. dollar for each period presented. Translation gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company is subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations in connection with the Company’s international operations.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. All figures are presented in U.S. dollars, except share data, or except where expressly stated otherwise. Certain information related to the Company’s organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) has been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2012, as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented and the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate when read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2012. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statement amounts to conform to current presentation.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include valuation assumptions used for share-based compensation and warrant liability, accrued expenses carrying amounts of long-lived assets and deferred taxes.

 

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares (including redeemable common stock) outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares (including redeemable common stock) outstanding for the period, plus the dilutive effect of common stock purchase warrants, stock options and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share when all contingencies surrounding the issuance of the shares are met and the shares are issued or issuable. Contingently issuable shares are included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as of the beginning of the reporting period if, at the end of the reporting period, all contingencies surrounding the issuance of the shares are satisfied or would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Due to the net losses for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 2. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

During September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-08”). ASU 2011-08 is intended to simplify the testing of goodwill for impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test, which was required for all companies that report goodwill. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, although early adoption is permitted. The Company has adopted this standard, which had no impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

During June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 provides for the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. Regardless of which format is chosen, the amendments establish a requirement for entities to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from OCI to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of OCI are presented. The amendments in ASU 2011-05 are effective, on a retrospective basis, for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; however, during December 2011 the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, which defers those changes in ASU 2011-05 that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments. The Company has adopted this standard as of April 30, 2012, which had no impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

During May 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASC 2011-04”). The amendments in ASC 2011-04 were issued in order to align the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. However, many of the amendments in ASC 2011-04 will not result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are effective, on a prospective basis, for public entities for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company has adopted this standard as of April 30, 2012, which had no impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 3. Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and consists of laboratory equipment, furniture and fixtures, and computer hardware and software. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the various assets ranging from three to seven years.

Note 4. Share-Based Payments

 

The Company has in place a 2010 Equity Incentive Plan, a 2008 Equity Incentive Plan, and a Director Compensation Plan of 2010. In general, these plans provide for stock-based compensation in the form (i) Non-statutory Stock Options; (ii) Restricted Stock Awards; and (iii) Stock Appreciation Rights to the Company’s employees, directors and non-employees. The plans also provide for limits on the aggregate number of shares that may be granted, the term of grants and the strike price of option awards.

 

Stock-based compensation in the amount of $739,000 and $1,014,000 was recognized for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Stock-based compensation expense was recognized as follows (in thousands):

Note 5. Redeemable Common Stock and Stock Purchase Warrant

 

On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate 12,533,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, or aggregate proceeds of $9.4 million, $0.5 million of which was sold to officers and directors of the Company. As part of this transaction, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,266,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. These warrants expire five years after the closing date, which occurred on April 4, 2011. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain anti-dilution protections for the investors and certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued to the investors. Furthermore, investors will have the right to require the Company to redeem the purchased common shares held by such investors (the “Put Option”) for cash for $0.75 per share upon a change of control or sale of substantially all of the company’s assets. The Put Option will terminate upon the achievement of certain financial milestones by the Company, the sale of 25% of the common shares purchased by an investor, with respect only to the shares owned by such investor, or in certain other circumstances as outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

Due to the Put Option described above, the Company has accounted for Common Stock issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement as temporary equity, which is reflected under the caption “redeemable common stock” on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The total amount allocated to these common shares was $8.2 million. This allocation is equal to the total proceeds of $9.4 million, less the amount allocated to the warrants of $0.9 million and is also net of direct and incremental costs associated with the Securities Purchase Agreement of $0.3 million.

 

The warrants issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement contain certain exercise price reset provisions. Under these provisions, the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted downward should the Company have future sales of its Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Per Share Price (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

 

The Company has granted demand registration rights in connection with the investment in common shares and the common shares underlying the warrants. These rights include the requirement of the Company to file certain registration statements within a specified time period and to have these registration statements declared effective within a specified time period. If the Company is not able to comply with these registration requirements, the Company will be required to pay cash penalties equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the investors for each 30-day period in which a Registration Default, as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement, exists. The Company may become subject to these penalty provisions if it fails to have a registration statement for the common shares declared effective, or to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement. The total amount of potential penalties under this registration payment arrangement is $41,000 for each 30-day period in which a registration default exists; however, as of the date of this filing and through July 31, 2012, the Company does not believe these penalties to be probable and accordingly, has not established an accrual for such registration payment arrangements.

 

The Company has accounted for the warrants issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement as a liability based on the exercise price reset provisions described above. This liability, which is recorded at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, totaled $0.9 million at the time of the close of the Securities Purchase Agreement. As of July 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012, the fair value of these warrants was $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The change in fair value of these warrants has been, and will be, recognized as other income (expense) on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of these warrants was calculated by the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method. Assumptions used to calculate the fair value of these warrants were as follows:

 

   July 31,   April 30, 
   2012   2012 
         
Expected term in years   3.7    3.9 
Risk-free interest rates   0.4%   0.6%
Volatility   94%   102%
Dividend yield   0%   0%

  

The Company will continue to adjust the warrant liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, at which time the liability will be reclassified to stockholders' equity, or expiration of the warrants.

 

Note 6. Related Party Transactions

Note 8. Licensing Agreements

 

In February 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive option agreement with a Canadian company for which it paid and expensed $40,000 (Canadian) during the Company’s fiscal 2010 year. The option agreement granted the Company the exclusive right to review Irinophore C, a nanoparticle drug compound, for the treatment of various forms of cancer, including melanoma, prostate, breast, and lung cancer through April 2011. During the option year, the Company performed various TumorGraft tests on the nanoparticle compound. In March 2011, the Company exercised its option to license Irinophore C, a liposomal formulation of Irinotecan. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company’s exercise of the option resulted in amounts due to the Canadian company of $85,000 (Canadian) comprised of the option exercise price and reimbursement to the Canadian company for past patent costs, which was expensed in the Company’s fiscal year ended April 30, 2011. The Company satisfied this obligation during fiscal 2012. On the first anniversary of the agreement (March 2012), an additional license fee of $45,000 (Canadian) became due, which is recognized as a liability as of April 30, 2012 and July 31, 2012. As of the date of this report, the Company has satisfied this obligation. Commencing with the second anniversary of the agreement (March 2013), the Company will be obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty of $10,000 (Canadian). Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company will be required to pay up to $3.0 million in development milestones, if achieved. Upon commercialization, the Company would also be required to make royalty and sales milestone payments based upon revenues.

 

Note 9. Cephalon Agreement

 

On March 16, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Cephalon, Inc., (“Cephalon”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., pursuant to which the Company conducts TumorGraft studies on proprietary chemical compounds provided by Cephalon to determine the activity or response of a compound in potential clinical indications. In April 2011, Cephalon paid an initiation fee of $1.4 million to the Company, which was initially reflected within deferred revenue on the Company’s balance sheet as of April 30, 2011. As models, along with required reports, are delivered, the deferred revenue is being recognized on a proportionate basis in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies. Under this agreement, revenues of $177,000 were recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2012. No such revenues were recognized during the three months ended July 31, 2011. The Company anticipates that the studies will be completed within 21months of the execution of the agreement.

 

Cephalon will, under certain conditions, also pay the Company various amounts upon achieving certain milestones. Potential milestone payments that could be received under the Agreement total $27 million. These milestones are based on the performance of the compounds in preclinical testing and are dependent upon testing the compound in clinical settings and obtaining FDA approval. No milestones have been achieved to date. In addition, under certain conditions, Cephalon will pay the Company royalties on any commercialized products developed under the Agreement. No royalties have been received or earned to date. Cephalon reserves the right to exercise and pay a one-time fee of in lieu of the milestone or royalty payments. These fees range from $460,000 to $880,000 per compound.

Note 12. Fair Value

 

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits and other receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value based on the liquidity or the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy promulgated by GAAP consists of three levels:

 

·Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
·Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and
·Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

 

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company has one liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which are warrants that were issued in connection with a private placement of the Company’s securities that closed during April 2011 and is discussed more fully in Note 5. As of July 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012, these warrants had an estimated fair value of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which was calculated by the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method using level three inputs. The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of July 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012 and during the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011.

 

The following table presents information about our warrants liability, which was our only financial instrument measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) at July 31, 2012 (in thousands):

 

Balance, May 1, 2012  $555

Note 13. Business Segment Information

 

The Company operates in two segments, POS and TOS. The accounting policies of the Company’s segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2012, as filed on Form 10-K. The Company evaluates performance of its segments based on profit or loss from operations before stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income, gain on sale of assets, special charges or benefits, and income taxes (“segment profit”). Management uses segment profit information for internal reporting and control purposes and considers it important in making decisions regarding the allocation of capital and other resources, risk assessment, and employee compensation, among other matters.

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

 

The following discussion of our historical results of operations and our liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report and our most recent annual report for the year ended April 30, 2012, as filed on Form 10-K.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains certain “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation, and availability of resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new programs; expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates, or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results, and future economic performance; and statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2012, as updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC, including any updates found in Part II, Item 1A of this or other reports on Form 10-Q. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

 

Overview and Recent Developments

 

Champions Oncology, Inc. is engaged in the development of advanced technology solutions to personalize the development and use of oncology drugs.  The Company’s TumorGraft Technology Platform is a novel approach to personalizing cancer care, based upon the implantation of human tumors in immune-deficient mice.  The Company uses this technology, in conjunction with related services, to offer solutions for two customer groups:

 

·Our Personalized Oncology Solutions (“POS”) business, which provides services to physicians and patients looking for information to help guide the development of personalized treatment plans.

 

·Our Translational Oncology Solutions (“TOS”) business, which provides services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking personalized approaches to drug development that will lower costs and increase the speed of developing new drugs, as well as increase the adoption of existing drugs.

 

We plan to continue our efforts to expand our TumorGraft Technology Platform in order to expand our POS and TOS programs. In fiscal 2012, we modified our POS business strategy to focus on growing our core technology products, which includes TumorGraft implants and drug studies. As part of this strategy, which we continue to execute in fiscal 2013, we significantly reduced the price of our core technology products to make the products affordable to a broader patient base, maximize synergies between our POS and TOS businesses, increase our tumor model offerings to our TOS sponsors, and increase the number of models in our Tumorbank. We have increased spending on sales and marketing efforts to support this strategy. We will continue to offer related personalized oncology services to our customers; however, we expect future POS revenue to be driven by our core products.

 

14
 

 

During the second half of fiscal 2012, we transitioned the laboratory activities that support the POS and TOS services from a third-party contract research organization (“CRO”) to our facility in Baltimore, Maryland. To facilitate this strategy and support the increase in current and expected volume, we have invested in the infrastructure and increased our laboratory staff and are evaluating options to increase our lab capacity to meet the future demand. We believe that bringing these activities in-house will significantly reduce the future cost of providing our services and allow us to maintain a more competitive pricing strategy.

 

Operating Results

 

The following table summarizes our operating results for the periods presented below (in millions):

 

   For the Three Months Ended July 31,     
       % of       % of   %

Operating Revenues

 

Operating revenues were $2.1 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $0.5 million or 31%.

 

Personalized Oncology Solutions (POS) revenues were $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 50%.   The increases in POS revenues were driven by an increased number of drug studies completed during the quarter. During the three months ended July 31, 2012, the Company completed 13 drug studies, compared to only one completed in the prior year. These increases are the result of the steady increase in the number of TumorGrafts performed which have moved onto drug studies.

 

Translational Oncology Solutions (TOS) revenues were $1.2 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million, or 20%.  The increase in TOS revenues was due primarily to higher number of models sold, as a result of our increased investment in our Tumorbank.

 

Cost of Personalized Oncology Solutions

 

POS cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 60%.  For the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, gross margins for POS were 11% and 17%, respectively.  The decline in gross margin can be attributed to increased costs related to transitioning our laboratory activities in-house from a third-party CRO. This transition, which is expected to yield future cost savings through higher utilization of capacity, began during the second half of fiscal 2012 and was substantially complete during the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

15
 

 

Cost of Translational Oncology Solutions

 

TOS cost of sales for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 was $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 75%.  For the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, gross margins for TOS were 42% and 60%, respectively.  The decline in gross margin can be attributed to additional costs associated with transitioning laboratory activities in-house from a third-party CRO. Specifically, we have made additional investments in our infrastructure and our laboratory staff to increase productivity and to support current and expected volumes.

 

Research and Development

 

Research and development expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 were $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million, or 20%.  This decrease was primarily related to decreased tumor procurement costs, resulting from our strategy to source models from our POS business.

 

Sales and Marketing

 

Sales and marketing expenses for each of the three month periods ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 were $0.7 million.  Employee-related costs associated with our sales force and marketing personnel increased $0.2 million, but this was offset by a decrease in marketing activities.

 

 

General and Administrative

 

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011 were $1.1 million and $1.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.6 million, or 35%.  This decrease is due to reductions in stock-based compensation expenses and consultant costs.

 

Other Income (Expense)

 

Other income consists of the change in the fair value of warrants that are accounted for as liabilities and are described further below and in Note 5 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, other income was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million.  The Company will continue to adjust the warrant liability for changes in fair value, until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, at which time the liability will be reclassified to stockholders' equity, or expiration of the warrants. This change in the fair value of the warrant liability was a result of revaluing the warrant liability based on the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, impacted primarily by the quoted price of the Company's common stock. The revaluation of the warrant liability has no impact on our cash balances.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our liquidity needs have typically arisen from the funding of our research and development programs and the launch of new products, working capital requirements, and other strategic initiatives. In the past, we have met these cash requirements through our cash and cash equivalents, working capital management, and proceeds from certain private placements of our securities. As of July 31, 2012, we had working capital of $1.2 million and cash and cash equivalents of $2.9 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand at July 31, 2012 are adequate to fund operation for at least through April 30, 2013. The Company is currently exploring financing options to raise additional funds for future operations. There can be no assurance that management will be successful in raising additional capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all. Our ability to successfully complete a raise of capital will depend on the conditions of the capital markets and our financial condition and prospects. Even if we are able to successfully raise additional capital, such capital could be in the form of debt and could be at high interest rates and/or require us to comply with restrictive covenants that limit financial and business activities. In addition, even if we are able to successfully raise equity capital, this could dilute the interest of existing shareholders and/or be issued with preferential liquidation, dividend or voting rights to those currently held by our common stockholders.

 

On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors for the sale to the investors of an aggregate 12,533,333 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, or an aggregate of $9.4 million, of which, $0.5 million was sold to officers and directors of the Company. As part of this transaction, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,266,667 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. These warrants expire five years after the closing date, which occurred on April 4, 2011. The Securities Purchase Agreement contains certain anti-dilution protections for the investors and certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issued to the investors. Furthermore, investors have the right to require the Company to repurchase the purchased common shares held (the “Put Option”) for cash for $0.75 per share upon a change of control or sale of substantially all of the company’s assets. The Put Option will terminate upon the achievement of certain financial milestones by the Company, the sale of 25% of the common shares purchased by an investor, with respect only to the shares owned by such investor, or in certain other circumstances as outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

16
 

 

The warrants issued in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement contain certain exercise price reset provisions. Under these provisions, the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted downward should the Company have future sales of its common stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Per Share Price (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement).

 

Cash Flows

 

The following discussion relates to the major components of our cash flows:

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.8 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  The increase of $0.3 million cash used in operations relates to higher working capital requirements.

 

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  These cash flows relate to the purchase of property and equipment.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

No cash was used in, or provided by, financing activities during the three months ended July 31, 2012. Net cash provided by financing activities was less than $0.1 million for the three months ended July 31, 2011, which was related to the exercise of stock options and warrants.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to apply methodologies and make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates of the Company include, among other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill, and stock compensation assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s critical accounting policies are summarized in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 18, 2012.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Financing

 

We have no off-balance sheet debt or similar obligations.  We have no transactions or obligations with related parties that are not disclosed, consolidated into or reflected in our reported results of operations or financial position.  We do not guarantee any third-party debt.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within ninety (90) days of the filing date of this Form 10-Q quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
