Escalon Medical Corp. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
Escalon Medical Corp. (Escalon or the Company) is a Pennsylvania corporation initially
incorporated in California in 1987 and reincorporated in Pennsylvania in November 2001. Within this
document, the Company collectively shall mean Escalon and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonomed,
Inc. (Sonomed), Escalon Vascular Access, Inc. (Vascular), Escalon Medical Europe GmbH (EME),
Escalon Digital Vision, Inc. (EMI), Escalon Pharmaceutical, Inc. (Pharmaceutical), Escalon
Holdings, Inc. (EHI), Escalon IP Holdings, Inc., Escalon Vascular IP Holdings, Inc., Sonomed IP
Holdings, Inc., Drew Scientific Holdings, Inc. and Drew Scientific Group, Plc (Drew) its
subsidiaries and the assets acquired from Biocode Hycell (Biocode). All inter-company accounts
and transactions have been eliminated. The Company sold certain assets of the Vascular business for
$5,750,000 on April 30, 2010 to Vascular Solutions, Inc. (see footnote 10 to the Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).
The Company operates in the healthcare market specializing in the development, manufacture,
marketing and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the areas of ophthalmology,
diabetes, hematology and vascular access. The Company and its products are subject to regulation
and inspection by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the FDA). The FDA and other
governmental authorities require extensive testing of new products prior to sale and have
jurisdiction over the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and
marketing. The Companys Internet address is www.escalonmed.com.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
Valuations are based upon highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock
price volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated
using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical
volatility of the Companys stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and
employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected
life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
The Company has historically granted options under the Companys option plans with an option
exercise price equal to the closing market value of the stock on the date of the grant and with
vesting, primarily for Company employees, either in equal annual amounts over a two to five year
period or immediately, and, primarily for non-employee directors, immediately.
As of December 31, 2010 and 2009 total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested
share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees under the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan was
$234,221and $292,803, respectively. The remaining cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted
average period of 2.58 years. For the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, $23,898
and $30,468 was recorded as compensation expense, respectively. For the six-month periods ended
December 31, 2010 and 2009, $63,258 and $70,441 was recorded as compensation expense, respectively.
The Company did not receive any cash from share option exercises under stock-based payment
plans for the three months and six months periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009. The Company did
not realize any tax effect, which would be a reduction in its tax rate, on options due to the full
valuation allowances established on its deferred tax assets.
The Company measures compensation expense for non-employee stock-based compensation based on
the fair value of the options issued, as this is more reliable than the fair value of the services
received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Companys common stock on the date that the
8
Table of Contents
commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterpartys
performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to
compensation expense and additional paid-in capital. There was no non-employee compensation expense
for the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.

The impact of dilutive securities was omitted from the earnings per share calculation in all
periods presented as they would reduce the loss per share and thus were anti-dilutive.
4. Legal Proceedings
The Company, from time to time is involved in various legal proceedings and disputes that
arise in the normal course of business. These matters have previously and could pertain to
intellectual property disputes, commercial contract disputes, employment disputes, and other
matters. The Company does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters has had or is
likely to have a material adverse impact on the Companys business, financial condition or results
of operations.

5. Segmental Information
During the three-month and six-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Companys
continuing operations were classified into four principal reportable business segments that provide
different products or services, not including the Companys Vascular business, which the company
sold in April 30, 2010.
Separate management of each segment is required because each business segment is subject to
different marketing, production and technology strategies.

The Company operates in the healthcare market, specializing in the development,
manufacture and marketing of (1) ophthalmic medical devices and pharmaceuticals; (2) in-vitro
diagnostic (IVD) instrumentation and consumables for use in human and veterinary hematology. On
April 30, 2010, the Company sold its Vascular business. The business segments reported above are
the segments for which separate financial information is available and for which operating results
are evaluated regularly by management in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing
performance. The accounting policies of the business segments are the same as those described in
the summary of significant accounting policies. For the purposes of this illustration, corporate
expenses, which consist primarily of executive management and administrative support functions, are
allocated across the business segments based upon a methodology that has been established by the
Company, which includes a number of factors and estimates and that has
been consistently applied across the business segments. These expenses are otherwise included
in the Medical/Trek business unit.

7. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In October 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting for multiple-deliverable
revenue arrangements. This amendment provides guidance on determining whether multiple deliverables
exist, how the arrangements should be separated and how the consideration paid should be allocated.
As a result of this amendment, entities may be able to separate multiple-deliverable arrangements
in more circumstances than under existing accounting guidance. This guidance amends the requirement
to establish the fair value of undelivered products and services based on objective evidence and
instead provides for separate revenue recognition based upon managements best estimate of the
selling price for an undelivered item when there is no other means to determine the fair value of
that undelivered item. The existing guidance previously required that the fair value of the
undelivered item reflect the price of the item either sold in a separate transaction between
unrelated third parties or the price charged for each item when the item is sold separately by the
vendor. If the fair value of all of the elements in the arrangement was not determinable, then
revenue was deferred until all of the items were delivered or fair value was determined. This
amendment will be effective prospectively for revenue arrangements entered into or materially
modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010. The Company adopted this standard and
the standard did not have material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In December 2009, FASB issued ASU No. 2009-17, Improvements to Financial Reporting by
Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities. This Accounting Standards Update amends the
FASB Accounting Standards Codification for the issuance of FASB Statement No. 167, Amendments to
FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). The amendments in this Accounting Standards Update replace the
quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which reporting entity, if any,
has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity with an approach focused on
identifying which reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest
entity that most significantly impact the entitys economic performance and (1) the obligation to
absorb losses of the entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. An approach that
is expected to be primarily qualitative will be more effective for identifying which reporting
entity has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. The amendments in this
Update also require additional disclosures about a reporting entitys involvement in variable
interest entities, which will enhance the information provided to users of financial statements.
The Company adopted this standard and the standard did not have material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-01, Accounting for Distributions to Shareholders
with Components of Stock and Cash. The amendments in this Update clarify that the stock portion of
a distribution to shareholders that allows them to elect to receive cash or stock with a potential
limitation on
the total amount of cash that all shareholders can elect to receive in the aggregate is
considered a share issuance that is reflected in EPS prospectively and is not a stock dividend for
purposes of applying Topics 505 and 260 (Equity and Earnings Per Share). The amendments in this
update are effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009, and
should be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company adopted this standard and the standard did
not have material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-02 regarding accounting and reporting for decreases
in ownership of a subsidiary. Under this guidance, an entity is required to deconsolidate a
subsidiary when the entity ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the subsidiary. Upon
deconsolidation of a subsidiary, an entity recognizes a gain or loss on the transaction and
measures any retained investment in the subsidiary at fair value. In contrast, an entity is
required to account for a decrease in its ownership interest of a subsidiary that does not result
in a change of control of the subsidiary as an equity transaction. This ASU clarifies the scope of
the decrease in ownership provisions, and expands the disclosures about the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary or de-recognition of a group of assets. This ASU is effective beginning in
12
Table of Contents
the first interim or annual reporting period ending on or after December 31, 2009. The adoption of this ASU
did not have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value
Measurements. This update provides amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that requires new disclosure to
include transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and activity in Level 3 fair value measurements.
Further, this update clarifies existing disclosures on level of disaggregation and disclosures
about inputs and valuation techniques. A reporting entity should provide fair value measurement
disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and should provide disclosures about the
valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair
value measurements. Those disclosures are required for fair value measurements that fall in either
Level 2 or Level 3. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures are effective
for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in
Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently
evaluating the impact of this ASU; however, the Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to
have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09, Subsequent Events (Topic 855): Amendments to
Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements, or ASU 2010-09. ASU 2010-09 primarily rescinds
the requirement that, for listed companies, financial statements clearly disclose the date through
which subsequent events have been evaluated. Subsequent events must still be evaluated through the
date of financial statements issuance; however, the disclosure requirement has been removed to
avoid conflicts with other SEC guidelines. ASU 2010-09 was effective immediately upon issuance and
was adopted in February 2010.
In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-13, CompensationStock
Compensation (Topic 718): Effect of Denominating the Exercise Price of a Share-Based Payment Award
in the Currency of the Market in Which the Underlying Equity Security Trades, or ASU 2010-13. ASU
2010-13 provides amendments to Topic 718 to clarify that an employee share-based payment award with
an exercise price denominated in currency of a market in which a substantial portion of the
entitys equity securities trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a
market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity would not classify such an award as
a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amendments in this Update are effective for
fiscal years, and interim periods within
those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company does not expect the
adoption of ASU 2010-13 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2010, the FASB reached a consensus to issue an amendment to the accounting for
revenue arrangements under which a vendor satisfies its performance obligations to a customer over
a period of time, when the deliverable or unit of accounting is not within the scope of other
authoritative literature and when the arrangement consideration is contingent upon the achievement
of a milestone. The amendment defines a milestone and clarifies whether an entity may recognize
consideration earned from the achievement of a milestone in the period in which the milestone is
achieved. This amendment is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with
early adoption permitted. The amendment may be applied retrospectively to all arrangements or
prospectively for milestones achieved after the effective date. The adoption of this ASU did not
have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements
In July 2010, the FASB issued FASB ASC Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing
Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses. This standard amends existing guidance by
requiring
13
Table of Contents
more robust and disaggregated disclosures by an entity about the credit quality of its
financing receivables and its allowance for credit losses. These disclosures will provide financial
statement users with additional information about the nature of credit risks inherent in our
financing receivables, how we analyze and assess credit risk in determining our allowance for
credit losses, and the reasons for any changes we may make in our allowance for credit losses. This
update is generally effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December
15, 2010, which for us is the 2011 second quarter; however, certain aspects of the update
pertaining to activity that occurs during a reporting period are effective for interim and annual
reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010, which for us is the 2011 third quarter.
The Company adopted this standard and the standard did not have a material effect on the Companys
consolidated financial statements. The Company believes that full adoption of this update will not
have any further impact on the consolidated financial statements.
8. Fair Value Measurements
On July 1, 2008, the Company adopted the FASB-issued authoritative guidance for the fair value
of financial assets and liabilities. This standard defines fair value and establishes a hierarchy
for reporting the reliability of input measurements used to assess fair value for all assets and
liabilities. The FASB issued authoritative guidance defines fair value as the selling price that
would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most
advantageous market on the measurement date. The hierarchy established prioritizes fair value
measurements based on the types of inputs used in the valuation technique. The inputs are
categorized into the following levels:
Level 1 Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities.
Level 2 Directly or indirectly observable inputs for quoted and other than quoted prices
for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active or non-active markets.
Level 3 Unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data, therefore requiring the
entity to use the best available information available in the circumstances, including the
entitys own data.
Certain financial instruments are carried at cost on the condensed consolidated balance
sheets, which approximates fair value due to their short-term, highly liquid nature. These
instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued
expenses and other liabilities.
The Company determined that the fair value of the outstanding debt approximates the
outstanding balances based on the remaining short-term maturity of the note for the Biocode debt
and other Level 3
measurements. The Company determined the estimated fair value amounts by using available
market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is
required in interpreting market data as well as the risk of nonperformance related to the debt to
develop estimates of fair value. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies
may have a material effect on the estimated fair values.
9. Continuing Operations
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern
basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the
normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash
flows from operating activities and the debt payments related to the Biocode acquisition commenced
on June 30, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue
as a going concern. If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to raise additional capital in
the near term, the Company may be required to significantly reduce its research, development, and
administrative activities, including further reduction of its employee base. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying value of
assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be
14
Table of Contents
necessary should we be unable
to continue as a going concern. Our continuance as a going concern is dependent on our future
profitability and on the on-going support of our shareholders, affiliates and creditors. In order
to mitigate the going concern issues, we are actively pursuing business partnerships, managing our
continuing operations, and seeking capital funding on an ongoing basis via the issuance of
securities and private placements although we may not succeed in these mitigation efforts.
The Company has implemented an austerity plan to stem the recurring losses at Drew and has
made progress in reducing certain administrative and development expenditures. If the Company is
unable to achieve continued improvement in this area in the near term, it is not likely that our
existing cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund activities throughout the
next 6 to 8 months without curtailing certain business activities. The Companys forecast of the
period of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is
a forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as
a result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in Risk Factors of the Companys
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.
If the Company seeks to raise funds in the future, the Company may be required to raise those
funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements at prices
and other terms that may not be as favorable as they would without such qualification. The sale of
additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Companys
shareholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the
Company or at all.
10. Discontinued Operations
In an effort to enhance stockholder value, improve working capital and enable the Company to
focus on its core in-vitro diagnostics and ophthalmology manufacturing businesses, on April 30,
2010 the Company divested certain Vascular Access assets held by its Vascular Access subsidiaries
to Vascular Solutions, Inc. The total sales price was $5,750,000, consisting of cash of $5,000,000
at closing and $750,000 payable in cash upon the successful completion of the transfer of the
manufacturing to Vascular Solutions, Inc. plus a one-time earn-out payment in an amount equal to
25% of the net sales of the VascuView TAP products sold by Vascular Solutions, Inc. between July 1,
2010 and June 30, 2011. The manufacturing transfer was completed on August 31, 2010. During this
four-month transition, the Company continued to manufacture product in its Wisconsin facility under
a supply agreement concurrently entered into with Vascular Solutions, Inc. The supply agreement
ended on August 30, 2010 and the Company has no significant continuing involvement in the
operations of Vascular. Vascular Access generated approximately $565,000 in gross profit from May
1, 2010 through August 31, 2010 related to the supply agreement.

Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in, this report are
forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which provide current expectations or forecasts of future events.
Such statements can be identified by the use of terminology such as anticipate, believe,
could, estimate, expect, forecast, intend, may, plan, possible, project,
should, will, and similar words or expressions. The Companys forward-looking statements
include certain information relating to general business strategy, growth strategies, financial
results, liquidity, product development, the introduction of new products, the potential markets
and uses for the Companys products, the Companys regulatory filings with the FDA, acquisitions,
the development of joint venture opportunities, intellectual property and patent protection and
infringement, the loss of revenue due to the expiration on termination of certain agreements, the
effect of competition on the structure of the markets in which the Company competes, increased
legal, accounting
and Sarbanes-Oxley compliance costs, defending the Company in litigation matters and the Companys
cost saving initiatives. The reader must carefully consider forward-looking statements and
understand that such statements involve a variety of risks and uncertainties, known and unknown,
and may be affected by
16
Table of Contents
assumptions that fail to materialize as anticipated. Consequently, no forward-looking
statement can be guaranteed, and actual results may vary materially. It is not possible to foresee
or identify all factors affecting the Companys forward-looking statements, and the reader
therefore should not consider the list of such factors contained in its periodic report on Form
10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 to be an exhaustive statement of all risks, uncertainties or
potentially inaccurate assumptions. The Managements Discussion and Analysis should be read in
conjunction with the December 31, 2010 financial statements and the audited financial statements
included in the June 30, 2010 Form 10-K.
Executive Overview Six-Month Period Ended December 31, 2010
The following highlights are discussed in further detail within this report. The reader is
encouraged to read this report in its entirety to gain a more complete understanding of factors
impacting Company performance and financial condition.
| Product revenue from continuing operations decreased approximately $388,000 or 2.5% during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period last fiscal year. The decrease was related to decreased sales in the Drew and EMI business segments. Product revenue at Drew and EMI decreased 3.1% and 32.0%, respectively during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 when compared to the same period last fiscal year. These decreases were offset by increased sales approximately 6.0% increase in the Companys Sonomed business segment during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the same period last fiscal year. | ||
| Other revenue decreased approximately $40,000 or 85.1% during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period last fiscal year. This was attributable to decreased Bio-Rad royalties received in the Drew business segment. | ||
| Cost of goods sold as a percentage of product revenue increased to approximate 57.1% during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010, as compared to approximately 55.6% for the same period last fiscal year. This increase was primarily attributed to increase in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue in Drew and Sonomed business segments. | ||
| Operating expenses decreased approximately $419,000 or 4.9% during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was due to decreased general and administrative expense in the Drew business segment and also reduced research and development efforts in Drew and Sonomed segments. |
Company Overview
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with interim condensed consolidated
financial statements and the notes thereto, which are set forth in Item 1 this report.
The Company operates in the healthcare market specializing in the development, manufacture,
marketing and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the areas of ophthalmology,
diabetes, and hematology. The Company and its products are subject to regulation and inspection by
the FDA. The FDA requires extensive testing of new products prior to sale and has jurisdiction over
the safety, efficacy and manufacture of products, as well as product labeling and marketing. The
Companys Internet address is www.escalonmed.com.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that impact amounts reported therein. The most significant of those involve the application of
FASB-issued authoritative guidance concerning Revenue Recognition, Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets, discussed further in the notes to consolidated financial statements included in the Form
10-K for the year ended
17
Table of Contents
June 30, 2010. The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America, and, as such, include amounts based on informed
estimates and judgments of management. For example, estimates are used in determining valuation
allowances for deferred income taxes, uncollectible receivables, obsolete inventory, sales returns
and rebates, warranty liabilities and purchased intangible assets. Actual results achieved in the
future could differ from current estimates. The Company used what it believes are reasonable
assumptions and, where applicable, established valuation techniques in making its estimates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from the sale of its products at the time of shipment, when
title and risk of loss transfer. The Company provides products to its distributors at agreed
wholesale prices and to the balance of its customers at set retail prices. Distributors can receive
discounts for accepting high volume shipments. The discounts are reflected immediately in the net
invoice price, which is the basis for revenue recognition. No further material discounts are given.
The Companys considerations for recognizing revenue upon shipment of product to a distributor
are based on the following:
| Persuasive evidence that an arrangement (purchase order and sales invoice) exists between a willing buyer (distributor) and the Company that outlines the terms of the sale (company information, quantity of goods, purchase price and payment terms). The buyer (distributor) does not have a right of return. | ||
| Shipping terms are ex-factory shipping point. At this point the buyer (distributor) takes title to the goods and is responsible for all risks and rewards of ownership, including insuring the goods as necessary. | ||
| The Companys price to the buyer (distributor) is fixed and determinable as specifically outlined on the sales invoice. The sales arrangement does not have customer cancellation or termination clauses. | ||
| The buyer (distributor) places a purchase order with the Company; the terms of the sale are cash, COD or credit. Customer credit is determined based on the Companys policies and procedures related to the buyers (distributors) creditworthiness. Based on this determination, the Company believes that collectability is reasonably assured. |
The Company assesses collectability based on creditworthiness of the customer and past
transaction history. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and does not
require collateral from its customers. For many of the Companys international customers, the
Company requires an irrevocable letter of credit to be issued by the customer before the purchase
order is accepted.
Valuation of Intangible Assets
The Company regularly evaluates for impairment its intangible assets and goodwill in
accordance with SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, or whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, see footnote 4 to
consolidated financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 for
details on the 2009 and 2008 goodwill impairment charge related to the carrying amount of Sonomed
and Drews goodwill. These intangible assets include goodwill, trademarks and trade names. Factors
the Company considers important that could trigger an impairment review include significant
under-performance relative to historical or projected future operating results or significant
negative industry or economic trends. If these criteria indicate that the value of the intangible
asset may be impaired, an evaluation of the recoverability of the net carrying value of the asset
is made. If this evaluation indicates that the intangible asset is not recoverable, the net
carrying value of the related intangible asset will be reduced to fair value. Any such impairment
charge could be
18

significant and could have a material adverse impact on the Companys financial statements if
and when an impairment charge is recorded.
Income/Loss Per Share
The Company computes net income/(loss) per share under the provisions of FASB issued
authoritative guidance.
Under the provisions of FASB issued authoritative guidance, basic and diluted net
income/(loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income/(loss) for the period by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The calculation of
diluted net income/(loss) per share excludes potential common shares if the impact is
anti-dilutive. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted
average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share
are determined in the same manner as basic earnings per share, except that the number of shares is
increased by assuming exercise of dilutive stock options and warrants using the treasury stock
method.
Income Taxes
Estimates of taxable income of the various legal entities and jurisdictions are used in the
tax rate calculation. Management uses judgment in estimating what the Companys income will be for
the year. Since judgment is involved, there is a risk that the tax rate may significantly increase
or decrease in any period.
In determining income/(loss) for financial statement purposes, management must make certain
estimates and judgments. These estimates and judgments occur in the calculation of certain tax
liabilities and in the determination of the recoverability of certain deferred tax assets, which
arise from temporary differences between the tax and financial statement recognition of revenue and
expense. FASB issued authoritative guidance concerning accounting for income taxes also requires
that the deferred tax assets be reduced by a valuation allowance, if based on the available
evidence, it is more likely that not that all or some portion of the recorded deferred tax assets
will not be realized in future periods.
In evaluating the Companys ability to recover the Companys deferred tax assets, management
considers all available positive and negative evidence including the Companys past operating
results, the existence of cumulative losses and near-term forecasts of future taxable income that
is consistent with the plans and estimates management is using to manage the underlying businesses.
Through December 31, 2010, the Company has recorded a valuation allowance against the
Companys net operating losses for substantially all of the deferred tax asset due to uncertainty
of their realization as a result of the Companys earnings history, the number of years the
Companys net operating losses and tax credits can be carried forward, the existence of taxable
temporary differences and near-term earnings expectations. The amount of the valuation allowance
could decrease if facts and circumstances change that materially increase taxable income prior to
the expiration of the loss carryforwards. Any reduction would reduce (increase) the income tax
expense (benefit) in the period such determination is made by the Company.
The Company has adopted FASB issued guidance related to accounting for uncertainty in income
taxes, which provides a comprehensive model for the recognition, measurement, and disclosure in
financial statements of uncertain income tax positions that a company has taken or expects to take
on a tax return. Under the FASB guidance a company can recognize the benefit of an income tax
position only if it is more likely than not (greater than 50%) that the tax position will be
sustained upon tax examination, based solely on the technical merits of the tax position.
Otherwise, no benefit can be recognized. The tax benefits recognized are measured based on the
largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
Additionally, companies are required to accrue interest and related penalties, if applicable, on
all tax exposures for which reserves have been established consistent with
19
Table of Contents
jurisdictional tax laws. The Company has elected to recognize interest expense and penalties
related to uncertain tax positions as a component of its provision for income taxes.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted after July 1,
2006 is based on the grant-date fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of the FASB
issued guidance. The Company recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the
requisite service period of the award.
Valuations are based on highly subjective assumptions about the future, including stock price
volatility and exercise patterns. The fair value of share-based payment awards was estimated using
the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatilities are based on the historical
volatility of the Companys stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and
employee terminations. The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that
options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected
life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.

There was no other revenue during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 as
compared to $28,000 of the same period last fiscal year. Other revenue decreased by approximately
$40,000, or 85.1%, to $7,000 during the six-month period ended December 31, 2010 as compared to the
same period last fiscal year. These decreases were attributable to decreased royalties from
Bio-Rad related to an OEM agreement between Bio-Rad and Drew as a result of lower sales of Drews
products in covered areas. While this agreement terminated as of May 15, 2006, the parties have
continued to operate under the terms of the expired agreement.

The Company has implemented an austerity plan to stem the recurring losses at Drew and
has made progress in reducing certain administrative and development expenditures. If the Company
is unable to achieve continued improvement in this area in the near term, it is not likely that our
existing cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund activities throughout the
next 6 to 8 months without

curtailing certain business activities. The Company has based this estimate on assumptions that may
prove to be incorrect, and the Company may use its available capital resources sooner or more
slowly than the Company currently expects. The Companys forecast of the period of time through
which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a forward-looking
statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a result of a
number of factors, including the factors discussed in Risk Factors in the June 30, 2010 Form
10-K.
Working Capital Position
Working capital decreased approximately $2,704,000 as of December 31, 2010, and the current
ratio decreased to 2.1 to 1 when compared to June 30, 2010. The decrease in working capital was
caused primarily by the loss from continuing operations of approximately $1,868,000 for six months
ended December 31, 2010 and increase in the current portion of long term debt.
Cash Used in Operating Activities
During the six-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company generated cash
outflows from operating activities of $965,000 and $643,000, respectively. The net increase in cash
used in operating activities of approximately $322,000 for the six-month period ended December 31,
2010, as compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year is due primarily to the following
factors:
For the six-month period ended December 31, 2010, the Company had a net loss from continuing
operations of $1,868,000 and experienced net cash in flows from an increase in accounts payable,
accrued expenses and other liabilities of $647,000, cash from discontinued operation of $861,000,
non-cash expenditures on depreciation and amortization and compensation expense related to stock
options of approximately $432,000 and $63,000, respectively. These cash in-flows were partially
offset by increases in accounts receivable and inventory, which increased by $441,000 and $891,000,
respectively. In the prior fiscal period the cash used in operating activities of $643,000 was
related to net loss from continuing operations in the prior year of $1,952,000, decreases in
inventory and other current and long-term assets of $900,000 and $90,000, respectively, increases
in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $814,000 and non-cash expenditures
on depreciation and amortization and compensation expense related to stock options of approximately
$406,000 and $70,000, respectively. These cash inflows were partially offset by increases in
accounts receivable $1,279,000.
Cash Flows (Used in) Investing and Financing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities of $148,000 is related to fixed asset purchases and
investment in OTM of $103,000 and $45,000, respectively, during the six-month period ended December
31, 2010. The net increase in cash flows used in investing activities as compared to the prior
fiscal period was $31,000.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $50,000 during the six-month period
ended December 31, 2010. Cash flows used in financing activities for the same period last year
were approximately $116,000 related to the scheduled long-term debit repayments.
Debt History
On December 31, 2008, Drew acquired certain assets of Biocode for $5,900,000 (4,200,000 Euros)
plus acquisition costs of approximately $300,000. The sales price was payable in cash of
approximately $324,000 (approximately 231,000 Euros) and $5,865,000 in debt from Drew. The
seller-provided financing is collateralized by certain assets of Biocode. Biocode assets were
vertically integrated into the Companys clinical diagnostics business that includes Drew and JAS.
The seller-provided financing, which is guaranteed by the Company, requires payment over four years
as follows:
| the first interest-only payment was due in December 2009 at an annual interest rate of 7%; this |

Table of Contents
payment was paid on June 30, 2010 pursuant to an agreement reached with the seller; | ||
| thereafter, every nine months after June 30, 2010, an interest payment is due at an annual interest rate of 7%; | |
| June 30, 2010 the principal payment of Euro 800,000 was made; | |
| June 30, 2011 a principal payment of Euro 1,000,000 is due; | |
| December 31, 2011 a principal payment of Euro 1,000,000 is due; and | |
| December 31, 2012 a principal payment of Euro 1,375,000 is due. |
The payment amount in United States Dollars will be determined on the payment due date, based upon
the then current exchange rate between the United States Dollar and the Euro.
On May 29, 2008, Drew issued a note payable in the amount of $752,623 related to the purchase
of JAS. The note is collateralized by JASs common stock. Principal was payable in six quarterly
installments of $124,437 plus interest at the prime rate as published by the Bank of America. On
August 30, 2009, one of the notes related to the JAS acquisition was renegotiated. The amount
outstanding on August 30, 2009 was $178,370; this amount was repaid in 12 equal monthly
installments of $14,864 plus interest at 7%. The debt was paid in full in August 2010.
Continuing Operations
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in
the normal course of business. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative
cash flows from operating activities and the debt payments related to the Biocode acquisition
commenced June 30, 2010. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to
continue as a going concern. If the Company is unsuccessful in its efforts to raise additional
capital in the near term, the Company may be required to significantly reduce its research,
development, and administrative activities, including further reduction of its employee base. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the realization of the carrying
value of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the
Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuance as a going concern is
dependent on its future profitability and on the on-going support of the Companys shareholders,
affiliates and creditors. In order to mitigate the going concern issues, we are actively pursuing
business partnerships, managing our continuing operations, and seeking capital funding on an
ongoing basis via the issuance of securities and private placements.
The Company has implemented an austerity plan to stem the recurring losses at Drew and has
made progress in reducing certain administrative and development expenditures. If the Company is
unable to achieve continued improvement in this area in the near term, it is not likely that our
existing cash and cash flow from operations will be sufficient to fund activities throughout the
next 6 to 8 months without curtailing certain business activities. The Companys forecast of the period
of time through which its financial resources will be adequate to support its operations is a
forward-looking statement and involves risks and uncertainties, and actual results could vary as a
result of a number of factors, including the factors discussed in Risk Factors of the Companys
Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010.
If the Company seeks to raise funds in the future, the Company may be required to raise those
funds through public or private financings, strategic relationships or other arrangements at prices
and other terms that may not be as favorable as they would without such qualification. The sale of
additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Companys
shareholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the
Company or at all.
