ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Company Overview

Escalon Medical Corp. ("Escalon" or "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, which includes its division called "Trek" and its wholly owned subsidiaries: Sonomed, Inc. (“Sonomed”), Escalon Digital Solutions, Inc. (“EMI”), Escalon Holdings, Inc. (“EHI”), Escalon IP Holdings, Inc., and Sonomed IP Holdings, Inc.. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

The Company operates in the healthcare market, specializing in the development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals in the area of ophthalmology. 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 government authorities 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.

A-Scans

The A-Scan provides information about the internal structure of the eye by sending a beam of ultrasound along a fixed axis through the eye and displaying the various echoes reflected from the surfaces intersected by the beam. The principal echoes occur at the cornea, both surfaces of the lens and the retina. The system displays the position and magnitudes of the echoes on an electronic display. The A-Scan also includes software for measuring distances within the eye. This information is primarily used to calculate lens power for implants.

B-Scans

The B-Scan is primarily a diagnostic tool that supplies information to physicians where the media within the eye are cloudy or opaque. Whereas physicians normally use light, which cannot pass through such media, the ultrasound beam is capable of passing through the opacity and displaying an image of the internal structures of the eye. Unlike the A-Scan, the B-Scan transducer is not in a fixed position; it swings through a 60 degree sector to provide a two-dimensional image of the eye.

UBM

The UBM is a high frequency/high resolution ultrasound device, designed to provide highly detailed information about the anterior segment of the eye. The UBM is used for glaucoma evaluation, tumor evaluation and differentiation, pre- and post-intraocular lens implantation and corneal refractive surgery. The device allows the surgeons to perform precise measurements within the anterior chamber of the eye.

Pachymeters

The pachymeter uses the same principles as the A-Scan, but the system is tailored to measure the thickness of the cornea. Central corneal thickness is used in the calculation of intraocular pressure. Pachymetry is also used by refractive surgeons to screen candidates and help plan surgery.

Color/Fluorescein Angiography (“CFA”) Digital Imaging Systems

The CFA (Color/Fluorescein Angiography) digital imaging system is designed specifically for ophthalmology. This diagnostic tool, ideal for use in detecting retinal problems in diabetic and elderly patients, provides a high-resolution image, far superior to conventional film in image quality, processing and capture. The instant image display provides users with the necessary clinical information that allows treatment to be performed while the patient is still in the physician’s office.

Ispan Intraocular Gases

The Company distributes two intraocular gas products C3F8 and SF6, which are used by vitreoretinal surgeons as a temporary tamponade in detached retina surgery. Under a non-exclusive distribution agreement with AirGas, Inc. (AirGas"), the Company distributes packages of AirGas gases in canisters containing up to 25 grams of gas. Along with the intraocular gases, the Company manufactures and distributes a patented disposable universal gas kit, which delivers the gas from the canister to the patient.

Surgical Packs

The Company markets disposable surgical packs used in vitreoretinal surgery, including packs which aid surgeons in the process of injecting and extracting silicone oil.

Viscous Fluid Transfer Systems

The Company markets viscous fluid transfer systems and related disposable syringe products, which aid surgeons in the process of injecting and extracting silicone oil. Adjustable pressures and vacuums provided by the equipment allow surgeons to manipulate the flow of silicone oil during surgery.

AXIS Image Management

The AXIS Image Management system easily manages ophthalmic diagnostic images via a web browser from any device regardless of modality, manufacturer or location.

Research and Development

The development of ultrasound ophthalmic equipment and AXIS Image Management system are performed at the Company’s Lake Success, New York and Stoneham, Massachusetts facility, respectively. Company-sponsored research and development expenditures from operations for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 were approximately $500,000 and $1,053,000, respectively.

Manufacturing and Distribution

The Company leases 7,440 square feet of space in Wisconsin, for its surgical products under the Trek division. The facility is currently used for product assembly related to Trek. The Company also leases 3,452 square feet in Stoneham, Massachusetts used primarily for product design and development in the EMI business unit. The Company subcontracts component manufacture, assembly and sterilization to various vendors. The Company’s ophthalmic surgical products are distributed from the Company’s Wisconsin facility.

The Company designs, develops and services its ultrasound ophthalmic products at its 6,728 square foot facility in Lake Success, New York. The Company has achieved ISO 13485 certification at its manufacturing facilities for all medical devices the Company produces. ISO 13485 requires an implemented quality system that applies to product design, manufacture, installation and servicing. These certifications can be obtained only after a complete audit of a company’s quality system by an independent outside auditor. These certifications require that facilities undergo periodic reexamination. The Company has obtained European Community certification (“CE”) for many of its ophthalmic ultrasound systems.

The manufacture, testing and marketing of each of the Company’s products entails risk of product liability. The Company carries product liability insurance to cover primary risk.

Governmental Regulations

The Company’s products are subject to stringent ongoing regulation by the FDA and similar health authorities, and if these governmental approvals or clearances of the Company’s products are restricted or revoked, the Company could face delays that would impair the Company’s ability to generate funds from operations.

The Company has received the necessary FDA and other necessary regulations clearances and approvals for all products that the Company currently markets. The FDA and comparable agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical and medical device equipment and related disposables, including the obligation to adhere to the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. Compliance with these regulations requires time-consuming detailed validation of manufacturing and quality control practices, FDA periodic inspections and other procedures. If the FDA finds any deficiencies in the validation processes, for example, the FDA may impose restrictions on marketing the specific products until such deficiencies are corrected.

The FDA and similar health authorities in foreign countries extensively regulate the Company’s activities. The Company must obtain either 510(K) clearances or pre-market approvals and new drug application approvals prior to marketing a product in the United States. Foreign regulation also requires that the Company obtain other approvals from foreign government agencies prior to the sale of products in those countries. Also, the Company may be required to obtain FDA clearance or approval before exporting a product or device that has not received FDA marketing clearance or approval.

Marketing and Sales

The Sonomed product line is sold through independent sales representatives, a network of distributors, and internal sales employees directly to medical institutions, throughout the world. The Trek and EMI product lines are sold through internal sales employees directly to medical institutions, primarily within the United States.

Service and Support

The Company maintains a full-service program for all products sold. The Company provides limited warranties on all products against defects and performance. Product repairs are made at the Wisconsin facility for surgical devices, New York facility for Sonomed products and EMI devices in Stoneham facility.

Patents, Trademarks and Licenses

The pharmaceutical and medical device communities place considerable importance on obtaining patent and trade secret protection for new technologies, products and processes for the purpose of strengthening the Company’s position in the market place and protecting the Company’s economic interests. The Company’s policy is to protect its technology by aggressively obtaining patent protection for substantially all of its developments and products, both in the United States and in selected countries outside the United States. It is the Company’s policy to file for patent protection in those foreign countries in which the Company believes such protection is necessary to protect its economic interests. The duration of the Company’s patents, trademarks and licenses vary through 2020. The Company has 13 United States patents and 19 patents issued abroad that cover the Company’s surgical products and pharmaceutical technology.

The Company intends to vigorously defend its patents if the need arises.

Competition

There are numerous direct and indirect competitors of the Company in the United States and abroad. These competitors include ophthalmic-oriented companies that market a broad portfolio of products, including companies that market prescription devices and pharmaceuticals exclusively for ophthalmic indications and integrated companies that market products for ophthalmic and other indications.

Several large companies dominate the ophthalmic market, with the balance of the industry being highly fragmented and comprised of smaller companies ranging from start-up entities to established market players. The ophthalmic market in general is intensely competitive, with each company eager to expand its market share. The Company’s strategy is to compete primarily on the basis of technological innovation to which it has proprietary rights. The Company believes, therefore, that its business will depend in large part on protecting its intellectual property through maintaining trade secrets, patents, and other governmental regulations.

Sonomed’s principal competitors are Quantel, Inc., Accutome, Inc, and Ellex Medical Lasers Ltd. Sonomed has had a leading presence in the ophthalmic ultrasound industry for over 30 years. Management believes that this has helped Sonomed build a reputation as a long-standing operation that provides a quality product, which has enabled the Company to establish effective distribution coverage throughout the world. Various competitors offering similar products at a lower price could threaten Sonomed’s market position. The development of optical technologies for ophthalmic biometrics and imaging may also diminish the Company’s market position. This equipment can be used instead of ultrasound equipment in certain applications with some advantage. Such equipment, however, is more expensive.

Treks’s competitor for the ISPAN® gases is Alcon Laboratories. Trek’s competitors for its surgical packs include Alcon Laboratories and Bausch & Lomb. To remain competitive, the Company needs to maintain a low-cost operation. There are numerous other companies that can provide this manufacturing service.

EMI’s principal competitors are Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc. and Topcon Healthcare Solutions. The Company believes it establishes competitive advantage by offering technical innovation, product features, low total cost of ownership, and capable and responsive technical support.

Human Resources

As of June 30, 2018, the Company employed 43 employees. Of these employees, 20 of the Company’s employees are employed in manufacturing, 14 are employed in general and administrative positions, 6 are employed in sales and marketing and 3 are employed in research and development. The Company’s employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company considers its relationship with its employees to be good.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to other information contained in this report on Form 10-K, the following Risk Factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. If any of the following risks actually occur, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

Due to the Company’s history of operating losses, we received a going concern opinion from our registered public accounting firm.

Our operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect our operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the continuous enhancement of the current products, development of new products; changes in domestic and foreign regulations; ability of manufacture successfully; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, and demand for, our products and our ability to raise capital to support our operations.

To date, our operations have not generated sufficient revenues to enable profitability. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $67.9 million, and incurred recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities in prior years. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

As a result of above matters, our independent auditors have indicated in their reports on our June 30, 2018 and 2017 financial statements that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. A "going concern" opinion indicates that the financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our

consolidated balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of our creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to our stockholders, in the event of liquidation.

Our continued operations will ultimately depend on the ability to be profitable from our operations and the on-going support of our shareholders and creditors.

Any acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures that the Company effects, if any, could result in financial results that differ from market expectations.

In the normal course of business, the Company engages in discussions with third parties regarding possible acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures. As a result of any such transactions, of which the Company cannot assure that any will occur, the Company’s financial results may differ from the investment community’s expectations in a given quarter. In addition, acquisitions and alliances may require the Company to integrate a different company culture, management team, business infrastructure, accounting systems and financial reporting systems. The Company may not be able to effect any such acquisitions or alliances. The Company may have difficulty developing, manufacturing and marketing the products of a newly acquired business in a way that enhances the performance of the Company’s combined businesses or product lines to realize the value from any expected synergies. Depending on the size and complexity of an acquisition, the Company’s successful integration of the entity depends on a variety of factors, including the retention of key employees and the management of facilities and employees in separate geographical areas. These efforts require varying levels of management resources, which may divert the Company’s attention from other business operations. Also, the Company’s results may be adversely impacted because of acquisition-related costs, amortization costs for certain intangible assets and impairment losses related to goodwill in connection with such transactions. Finally, acquisitions or alliances by the Company may not occur, which could impair the Company’s growth.

The Company’s results fluctuate from quarter to quarter.

The Company has experienced quarterly fluctuations in operating results and anticipates continued fluctuations in the future. A number of factors contribute to these fluctuations:


•	The timing and expense of new product introductions by the Company or its competitors, although the Company might not successfully develop new products and any such new products may not gain market acceptance;


•	The cancellation or delays in the purchase of the Company’s products;


•	Fluctuations in customer demand for the Company’s products;


•	Changes in domestic and foreign regulations;


•	The gain or loss of significant customers;


•	Changes in the mix of products sold by the Company;


•	Competitive pressures on prices at which the Company can sell its products;


•	Announcements of new strategic relationships by the Company or its competitors;


•	Litigation costs and settlements; and


•	General economic conditions and other external factors such as energy costs.

The Company sets its spending levels in advance of each quarter based, in part, on the Company’s expectations of product orders and shipments during that quarter. A shortfall in revenue, therefore, in any particular quarter as compared to the Company’s plan could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows. Also, the Company’s quarterly results could fluctuate due to general market conditions in the healthcare industry or global economy generally, or market volatility unrelated to the Company’s business and operating results.

Failure of the market to accept the Company’s products could adversely impact the Company’s business and financial condition.

The Company’s business and financial condition will depend in part upon the market acceptance of the Company’s products. The Company’s products may not achieve or maintain market acceptance. Market acceptance depends on a number of factors including:


•	The price of the products;


•	The continued receipt of regulatory approvals for multiple indications;


•	The establishment and demonstration of the clinical safety and efficacy of the Company’s products; and


•	The advantages of the Company’s products over those marketed by the Company’s competitors.

Any failure to achieve or maintain significant market acceptance of the Company’s products will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The Company’s products are subject to stringent ongoing regulation by the FDA and similar domestic and foreign health care regulatory authorities, and if the regulatory approvals or clearances of the Company’s products are restricted or revoked, the Company could face delays that would impair the Company’s ability to generate funds from operations.

The FDA and similar health care regulatory authorities in foreign countries extensively regulate the Company’s activities. The Company must obtain either 510(K) clearances or pre-market approvals and new drug application approvals prior to marketing any products in the United States. Foreign regulation also requires that the Company obtain other approvals from foreign government agencies prior to the sale of products in those countries. Also, the Company may be required to obtain FDA approval before exporting a product or device that has not received FDA marketing clearance or approval.

The Company has received the necessary FDA approvals for all products that the Company currently markets in the United States. Any restrictions on or revocation of the FDA approvals and clearances that the Company has obtained, however, would prevent the continued marketing of the impacted products and other devices. The restrictions or revocations could result from the discovery of previously unknown problems with the product. Consequently, FDA revocation would impair the Company’s ability to generate funds from operations.

The FDA and comparable agencies in state and local jurisdictions and in foreign countries impose substantial requirements upon the manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical and medical device equipment and related disposables, including the obligation to adhere to the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. Compliance with these regulations requires time-consuming detailed validation of manufacturing and quality control processes, FDA periodic inspections and other procedures. If the FDA finds any deficiencies in the validation processes, for example, the FDA may impose restrictions on marketing the specific products until such deficiencies are corrected.

The Company has received CE approval on several of the Company’s products that allows the Company to sell the products in the countries comprising the European Community. In addition to the CE mark, however, some foreign countries may require separate individual foreign regulatory clearances. The Company may not be able to obtain regulatory clearances for other products in the United States or foreign markets.

The process for obtaining regulatory clearances and approvals underlying clinical studies for any new products or devices and for multiple indications for existing products is lengthy and will require substantial commitments of Company’s financial resources and Company’s management’s time and effort. Any delay in obtaining clearances or approvals or any changes in existing regulatory requirements would materially adversely impact the Company’s business.

The Company’s failure to comply with the applicable regulations would subject the Company to fines, delays or suspensions of approvals or clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions, injunctions or civil or criminal penalties, which would adversely impact the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations.

The success of products with which the Company’s products compete could have an adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The Company faces intense competition in the medical device and pharmaceutical markets, which are characterized by rapidly changing technology, short product life cycles, cyclical oversupply and rapid price erosion. Many of the Company’s competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, marketing, distribution and other resources. The Company’s strategy is to compete primarily on the basis of technological innovation, reliability, quality and price of the Company’s products. Without timely introductions of new products and enhancements, the Company’s products will become technologically obsolete over time, in which case the Company’s revenues and operating results would suffer. The success of the Company’s new product offerings will depend on several factors, including the Company’s ability to:


•	Properly identify customer needs;


•	Innovate and develop new technologies, services and applications;


•	Establish adequate product distribution coverage;


•	Obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals from the FDA and other regulatory agencies;


•	Protect the Company’s intellectual property;


•	Successfully commercialize new technologies in a timely manner;


•	Manufacture and deliver the Company’s products in sufficient volumes on time;


•	Differentiate the Company’s offerings from the offerings of the Company’s competitors;


•	Price the Company’s products competitively;


•	Anticipate competitors’ announcements of new products, services or technological innovations; and


•	Anticipate general market and economic conditions.

The Company may not be able to compete effectively in the competitive environments in which the Company operates.

The Company’s products employ proprietary technology, and this technology may infringe on the intellectual property rights of third parties.

The Company holds several United States and foreign patents for the Company’s products. Other parties, however, hold patents relating to similar products and technologies. If patents held by others were adjudged valid and interpreted broadly in an adversarial proceeding, the court or agency could deem them to cover one or more aspects of the Company’s products or procedures. Any claims for patent infringements or claims by the Company for patent enforcement would consume time, result in costly litigation, divert technical and management personnel or require the Company to develop non-infringing technology or enter into royalty or licensing agreements. The Company may become subject to one or more claims for patent infringement. The Company may not prevail in any such action, and the Company’s patents may not afford protection against competitors with similar technology.

If a court determines that any of the Company’s products infringes, directly or indirectly, on a patent in a particular market, the court may enjoin the Company from making, using or selling the product. Furthermore, the Company may be required to pay damages or obtain a royalty-bearing license, if available, on acceptable terms.

Lack of availability of key system components could result in delays, increased costs or costly redesign of the Company’s products.

Although some of the parts and components used to manufacture the Company’s products are available from multiple sources, the Company currently purchases most of the Company’s components and outsourced finished goods from single sources in an effort to obtain volume discounts. Lack of availability of any of these parts, components and finished goods could result in production delays, increased costs or costly redesign of the Company’s products. Any loss of availability of an essential component or finished good could result in a material adverse change to the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations. Some of the Company’s suppliers are subject to the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practice regulations. Failure of these suppliers to comply with those regulations could result in the delay or limitation of the supply of parts or components to the Company, which would adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

The Company’s ability to market or sell the Company’s products may be adversely impacted by limitations on reimbursements by government programs, private insurance plans and other third party payers.

The Company’s customers bill various third party payers, including government programs and private insurance plans, for the health care services provided to their patients. Third party payers may reimburse the customer, usually at a fixed rate based on the procedure performed, or may deny reimbursement if they determine that the use of the Company’s products was elective, unnecessary, inappropriate, not cost-effective, experimental or used for a non-approved indication. Third party payers may deny reimbursement notwithstanding FDA approval or clearance of a product and may challenge the prices charged for the medical products and services. The Company’s ability to sell the Company’s products on a profitable basis may be adversely impacted by denials of reimbursement or limitations on reimbursement, compared with reimbursement available for competitive products and procedures. New legislation that further reduces reimbursements under the capital cost pass-through system utilized in connection with the Medicare program could also adversely impact the marketing of the Company’s products.

The Company may become involved in product liability litigation, which may subject the Company to liability and divert management attention.

The testing and marketing of the Company’s products entails an inherent risk of product liability, resulting in claims based upon injuries or alleged injuries or a failure to diagnose associated with a product defect. Some of these injuries may not become evident for a number of years. Although the Company is not currently involved in any product liability litigation, the Company may be party to litigation in the future as a result of an alleged claim. Litigation, regardless of the merits of the claim or outcome, could consume a great deal of the Company’s time and attention away from the Company’s core businesses. The Company maintains limited product liability insurance coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the aggregate, with umbrella policy coverage of $5,000,000 in excess of such amounts. A successful product liability claim in excess of any

insurance coverage may adversely impact the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Company’s product liability insurance coverage may not continue to be available to the Company in the future on reasonable terms or at all.

The Company’s international operations could be adversely impacted by changes in laws or policies of foreign governmental agencies and social and economic conditions in the countries in which the Company operates.

The Company derives a portion of its revenue from sales outside the United States. Changes in the laws or policies of governmental agencies, as well as social and economic conditions, in the countries in which the Company operates could impact the Company’s business in these countries and the Company’s results of operations. Also, economic factors, including inflation and fluctuations in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, and competitive factors such as price competition, business combinations of competitors or a decline in industry sales from continued economic weakness, both in the United States and other countries in which the Company conducts business, could adversely impact the Company’s results of operations.

The Company is dependent on its management and key personnel to succeed.

The Company’s principal executive officers and technical personnel have extensive experience with the Company’s products, the Company’s research and development efforts, the development of marketing and sales programs and the necessary support services to be provided to the Company’s customers. Also, the Company competes with other companies, universities, research entities and other organizations to attract and retain qualified personnel. The loss of the services of any of the Company’s executive officers or other technical personnel, or the Company’s failure to attract and retain other skilled and experienced personnel, could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s ability to maintain or expand businesses.

The Company’s Chairman, Richard J. DePiano, Sr. (“Mr. DePiano”), is the Company’s controlling shareholder and has sufficient voting power to determine the outcome of all matters submitted to the Company’s shareholders for approval.

In February 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement") with Mr. DePiano Sr. and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano is the sole owner and sole trustee (the "Holders"). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt the Company owed the Holders under factoring agreements and notes (the "Notes") the Company entered into with the Holders in February and March of 2016 for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock"). Each share the Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders currently beneficially own approximately 77.49% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s shareholders. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into common stock at the current conversion ratio, the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.28% of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.

The Holders, therefore, control the election of all of the members of the Company’s board of directors and control the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s shareholders for approval, including mergers or other acquisition proposals and the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, in each case regardless of how all of the Company’s shareholders other than the Holders vote their shares. The interests of the Holders in maintaining this voting control of the Company may have an adverse effect on the price of the Company’s common stock because of the absence of any potential “takeover” premium and may, therefore, be inconsistent with the interest of the Company’s shareholders other than the Holders. The voting control by the Holders could also discourage a third party from attempting to acquire control of the Company and may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company.

The market price of the Company’s stock has historically been volatile, and the Company has not paid cash dividends.

The volatility of the Company’s common stock imposes a greater risk of capital losses on shareholders as compared to less volatile stocks. In addition, such volatility makes it difficult to ascribe a stable valuation to a shareholder’s holdings of the Company’s common stock. The following factors have and may continue to have a significant impact on the market price of the Company’s common stock:


•	Acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures and divestitures that the Company effects, if any;


•	Announcements of technological innovations;


•	Changes in marketing, product pricing and sales strategies or new products by the Company’s competitors;


•	Changes in domestic or foreign governmental regulations or regulatory requirements; and


•	Developments or disputes relating to patent or proprietary rights and public concern as to the safety and efficacy of the procedures for which the Company’s products are used.

Moreover, the possibility exists that the stock market, and in particular the securities of technology companies such as the Company, could experience extreme price and volume fluctuations unrelated to operating performance.

The Company has not paid cash dividends on its common stock and does not anticipate paying cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

If the Company raises 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 favorable. The sale of additional equity and debt securities may result in additional dilution to the Company’s shareholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or at all.

The impact of terrorism or acts of war could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

Terrorist acts or acts of war, whether in the United States or abroad, could cause damage or disruption to the Company’s operations, its suppliers, channels to market or customers, or could cause costs to increase, or create political or economic instability, any of which could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business.

The Company’s charter documents and Pennsylvania law may inhibit a takeover.

Certain provisions of Pennsylvania law and the Company’s Bylaws could delay or impede the removal of incumbent directors and could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from attempting to acquire, control of the Company. These provisions could limit the share price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future for shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s Board of Directors is divided into three classes, with directors in each class elected for three-year terms. The Bylaws impose various procedural and other requirements that could make it more difficult for shareholders to effect certain corporate actions. The Company’s Board of Directors may issue shares of preferred stock without shareholder approval on such terms and conditions, and having such rights, privileges and preferences, as the Board may determine. The rights of the holders of common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely impacted by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future.

There are inherent uncertainties involved in estimates, judgments and assumptions used in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States GAAP. Any changes in estimates, judgments and assumptions used could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and operating results.

The consolidated financial statements included in the periodic reports the Company files with the SEC are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP involves making estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets (including intangible assets), liabilities and inventories and related valuation allowances, revenues, expenses and income. This includes estimates, judgments and assumptions for assessing the recoverability of the Company’s other intangible assets, pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued authoritative guidance. If any estimates, judgments or assumptions change in the future, the Company may be required to record additional expenses or impairment charges. Any resulting expense or impairment loss would be recorded as a charge against our earnings and could have a material adverse impact on our financial condition and operating results. Estimates, judgments and assumptions are inherently subject to change in the future, and any such changes could result in corresponding changes to the amounts of assets (including goodwill and other intangible assets), liabilities, revenues, expenses and income. Any such changes could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and operating results.

On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including, among others, those relating to:


•	sales returns;


•	allowances for doubtful accounts;


•	inventories and related valuation allowances;


•	intangible assets;


•	income and other tax accruals;


•	deferred tax asset valuation allowances;


•	sales discounts;


•	warranty obligations; and


•	accrued lease termination costs


•	contingencies and litigation.

The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company’s assumptions and estimates may, however, prove to have been incorrect and the Company’s actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. While the Company believes the assumptions and estimates it makes are reasonable, any changes to the Company’s assumptions or estimates, or any actual results which differ from the Company’s assumptions or estimates, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and operating results.

Healthcare policy changes, including pending proposals to reform the U.S. healthcare system and implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act, may have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Healthcare costs have risen significantly over the past decade. There have been and continue to be proposals by legislators, regulators and third-party payors to keep these costs down. Certain proposals, if passed, would impose limitations on the prices the Company will be able to charge for the Company’s products, or the amounts of reimbursement available for its products from governmental agencies or third-party payers. These limitations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Changes in the healthcare industry in the U.S. and elsewhere could adversely affect the demand for the Company’s products as well as the way in which the Company conducts the Company’s business. The 2010 Affordable Care Act provides that most individuals must have health insurance, establishes new regulations on health plans, and creates insurance pooling mechanisms and other expanded public health care measures.

The Company anticipates that the healthcare reform legislation will further reduce Medicare spending on services provided by hospitals and other providers and further forms sales or excise tax on the medical device manufacturing sector. Various healthcare reform proposals have also emerged at the federal and state level. The Company cannot predict what healthcare initiatives, if any, will be implemented at the federal or state level, or the effect any future legislation or regulation will have on the Company. However, an expansion in government’s role in the U.S. healthcare industry may lower reimbursements for the Company’s products, reduce medical procedure volumes and adversely affect the Company’s business, possibly materially.

Future legislation or changes in government programs may adversely impact the market for the Company’s products.

From time to time, the federal government and Congress have made proposals to change aspects of the delivery and financing of health care services. The Company cannot predict what form any future legislation or regulation may take or its impact on the Company’s business. Legislation that sets price limits and utilization controls adversely impact the rate of growth of the markets in which the Company participates. If any future health care legislation or regulations were to adversely impact those markets, the Company’s product marketing could also suffer, which would adversely impact the Company’s business.

Cybersecurity incidents could disrupt business operations, result in the loss of critical and confidential information and adversely impact our reputation and results of operations.

The Company is subject to cyber security risks and may incur increasing costs in efforts to minimize those risks and to comply with regulatory standards. The Company employs information technology systems and Internet systems, including websites, which allow for the secure storage and transmission of proprietary or confidential information regarding the Company’s customers, employees and others, including credit card information and personal identification information. The Company has made significant efforts to secure its computer network to mitigate the risk of possible cyber-attacks and is continuously working to upgrade its existing information technology systems and provide employee awareness training around phishing, malware, and other cyber risks to ensure that the Company is protected, to the greatest extent possible, against cyber risks and security breaches. Despite these efforts security of the Company’s computer networks could be compromised which could impact operations and confidential information could be misappropriated, which could lead to negative publicity, loss of sales and profits or cause the Company to incur significant costs to reimburse third-parties for damages which could adversely impact profits.

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 Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and other financial information contained elsewhere in this Form 10-K and the discussion under “Risk Factors” included in Item IA of this Form 10-K.

Executive Overview—Fiscal Years Ended June 30, 2018 and 2017

The following highlights are discussed in further detail within this Form 10-K. The reader is encouraged to read this Form 10-K in its entirety to gain a more complete understanding of factors impacting Company performance and financial condition.

•

Total revenue from continuing operations increased approximately 167,000 or 1.5% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the prior fiscal year. The increase in total revenue is attributed to an increase in EMI total products of $104,000, which includes revenue from license and service plans and an increase in sales of Trek products of $212,000 offset by a decrease in sales in Sonomed's ultrasound products of $149,000.


•	Cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue from continuing operations increased to approximately 55.3% of product revenues during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, as compared to approximately 54.1% of total revenue

for the prior fiscal year. The increase of 1.2% in cost of goods sold as a percentage of total revenue is mainly due to the decreased margin in mixed products, such as the increased percentage of total revenue from lower margin Trek total sales and also the increase in inventory reserve of $110,000 attributed to 1% increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of revenue.


•	Marketing general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses decreased approximately 13.4% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the prior fiscal year. This was due to decreased marketing, general and administrative expenses of 4.5% and by a decrease of 52.6% in research and development offset.

Research and development expenses were primarily expenses associated with the introduction of new or enhanced products. The decrease in Research and Development expense is due to the decrease in headcount and consulting expense due to cost savings initiatives.

Goodwill Impairment

The Company tests goodwill for possible impairment on an annual basis at June 30, and at any other time events occur or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. As a result of the Company's testing during the fourth quarter of the year ended June 30, 2017, the goodwill carrying amount of $125,027 was deemed impaired and written off. There was no goodwill impairment during the year ended June 30, 2018.

Other income (expense)

On October 2, 2017 Escalon and Modernizing Medicine Inc. (“MMI”) entered into a Source Code Software Licensing Agreement . The Agreement provided MMI a non-exclusive perpetual License to the source code of Escalon’s proprietary image management software (“AXIS source code”) for a one-time payment of $500,000. MMI continues to be an authorized reseller of the AXIS product. The Company did not have significant other income during the year ended June 30, 2017. Interest expense increased as a result of the increase in the amount owed for the related party note payable for the year ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2017.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our total cash on hand as of June 30, 2018 was $874,000 excluding restricted cash of $250,000 compared with $544,118 and zero restricted cash as of June 30, 2017. $85,000 was available under our line of credit. On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano, the Company's Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program the Company owes the Holders for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

Because our operations has not historically generated sufficient revenues to enable profitability we will continue to monitor costs and expenses closely and may need to raise additional capital in order to fund operations.

We expect to continue to fund operations from cash on hand and through capital raising sources if possible and available, which may be dilutive to existing stockholders, through revenues from the licensing of our products, or through strategic alliances. Additionally, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities through one or more discrete transactions, or enter into a strategic alliance arrangement, but can provide no assurances that any such financing or strategic alliance arrangement will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Moreover, the incurrence of indebtedness in connection with a debt financing would result in increased fixed obligations and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations.

As of June 30, 2018 we had an accumulated deficit of $67,900,000 and incurred recurring losses from operations in prior years and negative cash flows from operating activities in prior years. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

The following table presents overall liquidity and capital resources as of June 30, 2018 and 2017. Table amounts are in thousands:



	June 30,
	2018			2017
Current Ratio:
Current assets	$	4,584		$	4,155
Less: Current liabilities	2,247			3,001
Working capital	$	2,337		$	1,154
Current ratio	2.04 to 1			1.38 to 1
Debt to Total Capital Ratio:
Related party payable, line of credit and note payable	$	186		$	795
Total debt	186			795
Total equity	2,412			1,184
Total capital	$	2,598		$	1,979
Total debt to total capital	7.0		%	40.2		%

Working Capital Position

Working capital increased $1,183,000 as of June 30, 2018, and the current ratio increased to 2.04 to 1 from 1.38 to 1 when compared to June 30, 2017.

Overall total current assets increased $429,000 to $4,584,000 in 2018 from $4,155,000 in 2017. Total current liabilities, which consists of line of credit, current portion of post-retirement pension benefits, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and liabilities of discontinued operations, decreased $754,000 to $2,247,000 in 2018 from $3,001,000 in 2017. The increase in current assets is mainly due to proceeds from sales of source code licensing agreement. The decrease in current liabilities is mainly as result of the conversion of related party note payable to equity. On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano, the Company's Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program the Company owes the Holders for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

Debt to Total Capital Ratio was 7.0% and 40.2% as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively. The increase in the working capital ratio and decrease in the debt to total capital ratio is also due to the Debt Exchange Agreement (the "Exchange Agreement")

Cash Used In or Provided By Operating Activities

During fiscal 2018, the Company generated approximately $107,000 of cash from operating activities as compared to using approximately $506,000 for operating activities during the year ended June 30, 2017.

For the year ended June 30, 2018, the Company had a net income of $584,000. Cash inflows were mainly due to the cash inflow from a decrease in accounts receivable of $150,000 as the Company improved the collection, an increase in the inventory valuation allowance of $114,000, non cash items of depreciation and amortization of $49,000, and an increase in

liabilities of discontinued operations of $1,000, partially offset by an increase in inventory of $19,000, an increase in other current assets of $40,000, a decrease in allowance of doubtful accounts of $53,000, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $222,000 and a decrease in accrued post retirement benefits of $50,000.

For the year ended June 30, 2017, the Company had a net loss of $727,000. Cash outflows were mainly due to a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $352,000 and a decrease in accrued post retirement benefits of $36,000, partially offset by the cash inflow from a decrease in accounts receivable of $161,000, a decrease in inventory of $40,000, and a decrease in other current assets of $69,000.

Cash Flows Provided by or Used In Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities for 2018 were due to the proceeds from the source code licensing agreement of $500,000 offset by the purchase of equipment of $29,000 and purchase of licenses of $13,000.

Cash flows used in investing activities for 2017 were approximately $8,000 related to the purchase of licenses.

Any necessary capital expenditures have generally been funded out of cash from operations, and the Company is not aware of any factors that would cause historical capital expenditure levels to not be indicative of capital expenditures in the future and, accordingly, does not believe that the Company will have to commit material resources to capital investment for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows Provided by or Used In Financing Activities

During 2018 the cash outflow from financing activities of $235,000 were due to $250,000 restricted cash, repayment of the line of credit of $85,000 and reduced by proceeds from related party note payable of $100,000.

During 2017 the cash inflow from financing activities of $520,000 were due to proceeds from related party note payable of $270,000 and proceeds from the line of credit of $250,000.

Debt History

On December 29, 2016, the Company entered into a credit agreement providing the Company up to an aggregate of $250,000 in cash, secured by the Company’s inventory. The Company, and its wholly owned subsidiary Sonomed, Inc., entered into an Inventory Advance Agreement as of December 29, 2016 (the "Agreement"), with CDS Business Services, Inc., doing business as Newtek Business Credit ("Newtek"). Newtek made in its discretion loans against the Company’s Eligible Inventory in an aggregate amount outstanding at any time up to the lesser of (i) fifty percent (50%) of the Inventory Value or (ii) the Inventory Advance Limit, as those terms were defined in the Agreement, which was $250,000. The credit agreement renewed annually and could be terminated upon 90 days written notice from the Company or 30 days written notice from Newtek.

Interest accrued on the daily balance at the per annum rate of 5.00% above the Prime Rate (currently 5.00%), but not less than 5.0%. All interest payable by under the financing documents was computed on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number of days elapsed on the daily balance. The Company was also obligated to pay to Newtek a closing fee equal to 1.00% of the Advance Limit.

Upon any renewal of the Agreement, an annual fee was due from Company equal to 1.00% of the Advance Limit. In consideration of monitoring, ledgering and other administrative functions undertaken by Newtek in connection with the Company’s inventory, and the merchant processor, Company was obligated pay Newtek a monthly collateral monitoring fee calculated by multiplying (i) seventy basis points (0.70%) (approximately an annual rate of 8.5%) (except during the existence of an Event of Default at which time it shall be 1%) by (ii) the amount of the average daily balances during the calendar month preceding the month for which the calculation is made.

As of June 30, 2018, the line of credit balance was $165,000. The line of credit interest expense was $37,000 for the year ended June 30, 2018. The line of credit was paid off on July 3, 2018.

On June 29, 2018 the Company entered a business loan agreement with TD bank receiving a promissory note of $250,000. The interest is subject to change based on changes in an independent index which the Wall Street Journal Prime. The index rate at the date of the agreement is 5.000% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note will be calculated using a rate of 0.740 percentage points over the index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations, resulting in an initial rate of 5.740% per annum based on a year of 360 days. The Company was required to put $250,000 in the TD bank savings account as collateral. Upon signing the agreement the Company also authorizes TD bank to payoff the line of credit with Netwtek. The total payment was $201,574, which includes $165,000 of outstanding line of credit, $2,579 accrued interest, administrative/legal fee of $1,000, prime plus fee through July 12, 2018 of $1,895 and underminimum fees of $28,797. The underminimum fees of $28,797 was included in the accrued expense as of June 30, 2018.

Richard J. DePiano, Sr., (“Mr. DePiano”), the Company’s Chairman, participated in an accounts receivable factoring program that was implemented by the Company. Under the program, Mr. DePiano advanced the Company $545,000 as of June 30, 2017 and advanced an additional $100,000 during fiscal year 2018 prior to the Debt Exchange Agreement noted below. Interest on the transaction was 1.25% per month. The transactions excluded fees typically charged by the factoring agent and provided much needed liquidity to the Company. Related party interest expense for the year ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $59,162 and $67,348, respectively. As of June, 2018 and June 30, 2017, interest expense of $112,389 and $53,227, respectively, was recorded in accrued expenses.

On February 14, 2018, the Company entered into a Debt Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Mr. DePiano, the Company's Chairman and DP Associates Inc. Profit-Sharing Plan of which Mr. DePiano is the sole owner and sole trustee (the “Holders”). Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement, effective February 15, 2018, the Holders exchanged a total of $645,000 principal amount of debt related to the accounts receivable factoring program the Company owes the Holders for 2,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).

Common Stock

The Company’s common stock has been quoted on the OTCQB Market since November 18, 2016. The OTCQB Venture Market requires companies be current in their reporting and must undergo an annual verification and management certification process. Companies must also meet a minimum ($0.01) bid test and may not be in bankruptcy.

Other

The Company’s 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” included in this Form 10-K . If the Company raises 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 Company’s shareholders. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to the Company or at all.

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 this Form 10-K. The consolidated 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, post retirement benefits, and rebates warranty liabilities and valuation of 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

Product revenue includes the sale of medical device products and the sale and installation of the Company's AXIS image management system software. Revenue is recognized for medical device products at the time of shipment and for software when the software is delivered and installed.

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 or sales incentives are given. The Company’s considerations for recognizing revenue are based on the following:

- Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

- Delivery has occurred

-The Company's price or fee is fixed or determinable

-Collectability is reasonably assured

License and services plan revenues are recognized proportionally over the service period, which for both licenses and service plans are typically one year. Deferred revenue related to licenses and services plans was approximately $481,000 and $388,000 as of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively.

Valuation of Intangible Assets and Long-Lived assets

Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized but, instead, are subject to an annual impairment assessment. Additionally, if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value or a reporting unit may not be recoverable, the Company would evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment at that time. As it relates to the goodwill assessment the Company first assesses 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 testing described in ASU topic NO. 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and other.

Long-lived assets including intangible assets deemed to have finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicator indicates include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit or material adverse changes in the business climate that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, the recoverability of the asset is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset are less than teh carrying value of the asset the asset is considered to be impaired. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.

As a result of the Company's testing during the year ended June 30, 2017, the goodwill carrying amount of $125,027 was deemed impaired and written off . During the year ended June 30, 2018, no impairments were recorded.

Earnings (loss) Per Share

Earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. All outstanding stock options are considered potential common stock. All outstanding convertible preferred stock are considered common stock at the beginning of the year or at the time of issuance, if later, pursuant to the if-converted method. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. As of June, 2018 and 2017, the average market prices for the twelve months periods then ended are less than the exercise price of all the outstanding stock options and, therefore, the inclusion of the stock options would be anti-dilutive. In addition, since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses and the stock options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of loss per common for the year ended June 30, 2017. Therefore, the basic and diluted loss per common share for the year ended June 30, 2017 were the same. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the if-converted method was used for the convertible preferred stock to calculate the dilutive earnings per share.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines deferred tax assets and liabilities on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets to the extent that it believes that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, and results of recent operations. If the Company determines that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would make an adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes. As of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, the Company has a fully recorded valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets.

The Company records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740 on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, no accrued interest or penalties were required to be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheets.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted. the Tax Act is one of the most comprehensive changes in the U.S. corporate tax law and policy since 1986 and certain provisions are extremely complex in their application. The Tax Act revises the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, adopting a quasi-territorial income tax system and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs (e.g., interest expense).

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 Company’s 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (Topic 606) , Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Following the FASB's finalization of a one year deferral of this standard, the ASU is now effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016. This ASU can be adopted either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of the adoption. The standard supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and places it with a five step revenue model with a core principle that an entity recognizes revenue to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The Company adopted the new guidance on July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method and applying this approach to those contracts that were not completed as of that date. The Company completed its evaluation of customer agreements and changes to its controls to support recognition and disclosures under the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2015 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-17 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes to reduce complexity in accounting standards. The amendments require that deferred tax liabilities and assets be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02 Leases (Topic 842) that changes the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating lease. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years for a public business entity. Early adoption is permitted. Management is evaluating the standard's impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09 Compensation-Stock Compensation -(Topic 718) Improvements to employee share-based payments accounting as part of simplicity initiatives. This update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which adds a new Topic 326 to the Codification and removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity debt securities. The guidance in ASU 2016-13 is effective for “public business entities,” as defined, that are SEC filers for fiscal years and for interim periods with those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption of the guidance is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years.The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016 the FASB issued ASU 2016-18 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)The amendments in this Update require that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. The adoption of this standard does not have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. Under the amendments in this update an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments in this Update are required for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In May 2017 FASB issued the amendments in ASU 2017-09- Compensation-Stock Compensation (“ASC Topic 718”): Scope of Modification Accounting: These amendments provide guidance on determining which changes to the terms and conditions of share-based payment awards require an entity to apply modification accounting under Topic 718. For public companies, these amendments are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. While early application is permitted, including adoption in an interim period, the Company has not elected to early adopt. The effectiveness of this update is not expected to have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In June 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-07 "Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718)" that expands the scope to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees. An entity should apply the requirements to nonemployee awards except for certain exemptions specified in the amendment. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim reporting periods within that fiscal year. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate the adoption of ASU 2018-07 will have a material impact on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Shareholders of Escalon Medical Corp.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Escalon Medical Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2018, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders' equity and cash flow for the year then ended and the related notes (collectively referred to as the "financial statements". In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 2018, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended June 30, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company’s significant accumulated deficit and recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audit, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audit included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audit also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

2. Going Concern

The Company’s operations are subject to a number of factors that can affect its operating results and financial condition. Such factors include, but are not limited to: the continuous enhancement of the current products, development of new products; changes in domestic and foreign regulations; ability of manufacture successfully; competition from products manufactured and sold or being developed by other companies; the price of, and demand for, the Company’s products and its ability to raise capital to support its operations.

To date, the Company’s operations have not generated sufficient revenues to enable profitability. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficient of $67.9 million, and incurred recurring losses from operations and negative cash flows from operating activities in prior years. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

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. These consolidated 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 Company's continuance as a going concern is dependent on its future profitability and on the on-going support of its shareholders, affiliates and creditors. In order to mitigate the going concern issues, the Company is actively pursuing business partnerships, managing its continuing operations, implementing cost-cutting measures and seeking to sell certain assets. The Company may not be successful in any of these efforts.

3. Significant Accounting Policies and Foreign Currency Translation

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires ("US GAAP") management to make estimates and assumptions that impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

For the purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers all cash accounts, which are not subject to withdrawal restrictions or penalties, and highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. From time to time cash balances exceed federal insurance limits.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 restricted cash included $250,000 and $0 respectively, which was pursuant to the requirements in the TD Bank Loan entered into June 2018. (see Note 12)

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's functional currency is the US dollar. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency are included in the results of operations as incurred. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses included in net income (loss) were immaterial for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are recorded at net realizable value. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral for accounts receivable arising in the normal course of business. The Company maintains allowances for potential credit losses based on the Company’s historical trends, specific customer issues and current economic trends. Accounts are written off against the allowance when they are determined to be uncollectible based on management’s assessment of individual accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts activity for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:



	June 30,
	2018			2017
Balance, July 1	$	172,120		$	202,667
Recovery in bad debts	(45,593		)	—
Write-offs	(7,597		)	(30,547		)
Balance, June 30	$	118,930		$	172,120

Inventory

Raw materials, work in process and finished goods are recorded at lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value. The composition of inventory, net is as follows:



	For the years ended June 30,
	2018		2017
Raw materials	$	652,613	$	864,813
Work in process	192,287		336,934
Finished goods	978,514		716,191
Total inventory	$	1,823,414	$	1,917,938

Valuation allowance activity for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:



	For the years ended June 30,
	2018		2017
Balance, July 1	$	347,014	$	198,120
Provision for valuation allowance	114,000		150,000
Write-off	—		(1,106		)
Balance, June 30	$	461,014	$	347,014

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the estimated useful life of the asset or lease term. Depreciation on property and equipment is recorded using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful life of the related assets. Estimated useful lives are generally three years to five years for computer equipment and software, five years to seven years for furniture and fixtures and five years to

ten years for production and test equipment. Depreciation and amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was approximately $29,000 and $26,000, respectively.

Property and equipment consist of the following at:



	June 30,
	2018			2017
Equipment	$	701,848		$	695,311
Furniture and fixtures	143,330			99,321
Leasehold improvement	28,549			28,549
	873,727			823,181
Less: Accumulated depreciation and amortization	(797,459		)	(768,289		)
	$	76,268		$	54,892

Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets

Intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives (including trademark and trade names) and goodwill are not amortized but, instead, are subject to an annual impairment assessment. additionally, if events or conditions were to indicate the carrying value or a reporting unit may not be recoverable, the Company would evaluate goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment at that time. As it relates to the goodwill assessment the Company first assesses 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 testing described in ASU topic No. 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and other.

Long-lived assets including intangible assets deemed to have finite lives, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators include, among other conditions, cash flow deficits, historic or anticipated declines in revenue or operating profit or material adverse changes in the business climate that indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. When impairment indicators are present, the recoverability of the asset is measured by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the projected undiscounted cash flows from the asset are less than the carrying value of the asset the asset is considered to be impaired. The impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. As a result of the Company's testing during the year ended June 30, 2017, the goodwill carrying amount of $125,027 was deemed impaired and written off. During the year ended June 30, 2018, no impairments were recorded.

Accrued Warranties

The Company provides a limited one year warranty against manufacturer’s defects on its products sold to customers. The Company’s standard warranties require the Company to repair or replace, at the Company’s discretion, defective parts during such warranty period. The Company accrues for its product warranty liabilities based on estimates of costs to be incurred during the warranty period, based on historical repair information for warranty costs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and related party note payable approximate their fair value because of their short-term maturity. The carrying amount of the accrued post retirement benefits approximates fair value since the Company utilizes approximate current market interest rates to calculate the liability. The Company determined that the carrying amount of the note payable approximates fair value since such debt borrowing bears interest at the approximate current market rate. While the Company believes the carrying value of the assets and liabilities are reasonable, considerable judgment is used to develop estimates of fair value; thus the estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

Revenue Recognition

in the net invoice price, which is the basis for revenue recognition. No further material discounts or sales incentives are given. The Company’s considerations for recognizing revenue are based on the following:

- Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists

- Delivery has occurred

-The Company's price or fee is fixed or determinable

-Collectability is reasonably assured

Shipping and Handling Revenues and Costs

Shipping and handling revenues are included in product revenue and the related costs are included in cost of goods sold.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards granted after July 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimate in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued authoritative guidance. As of June 30, 2018 and 2017 there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted to employees under the plans. There is no remaining cost under the plan. For the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there was no compensation expense.

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 Company’s 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 Company’s 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.

The Company did not receive any cash from share option exercises under stock-based payment plans for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. 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 awards based on the fair value of the options issued, as this measurement is used to measure the transaction, and is more reliable than the fair value of the services received. Fair value is measured as the value of the Company’s common stock on the date that the commitment for performance by the counterparty has been reached or the counterparty’s performance is complete. The fair value of the equity instrument is charged directly to compensation expense and additional paid-in capital. For the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no non-employee compensation expense.

Research and Development

All research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred.

Advertising Costs

Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. Advertising expense for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 was $27,000 and $31,000, respectively.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

pursuant to the if-converted method. The dilutive effect, if any, of stock options is calculated using the treasury stock method. As of June, 2018 and 2017, the average market prices for the year are less than the exercise price of all the outstanding stock options and, therefore, the inclusion of the stock options would be anti-dilutive. In addition, since the effect of common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive with respect to losses, the stock options have been excluded from the Company’s computation of loss per common for the year ended June 30, 2017. Therefore, the basic and diluted loss per common share for the year ended June 30, 2017 were the same. For the year ended June 30, 2018, the if converted method was used for the convertible preferred stock to calculate the dilutive earnings per share.

Income Taxes

between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

Reclassifications

Certain items in the June 30, 2017 consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles of recognizing revenue and create common revenue recognition guidance under US GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. Following the FASB's finalization of a one year deferral of this standard, the ASU is now effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2016. This ASU can be adopted either retrospectively to each reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of the adoption. The standard supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance and places it with a five step revenue model with a core principle that an entity recognizes revenue to reflect the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.

The Company adopted the new guidance on July 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method and applying this approach to those contracts that were not completed as of that date. The Company completed its evaluation of customer agreements and changes to its controls to support recognition and disclosures under the new guidance. The Company does not expect the adoption of the standards to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15 Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The amendments in this Update provide guidance on the eight specific cash flow issues and apply to all entities, including both business entities and not-for-profit entities that are required to present a statement of cash flows under Topic 230. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017 FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2017-04 Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment.Under the amendments in this update an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. The amendments in this Update are required for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

6. Capital Stock Transactions

Stock Option Plans

As of June 30, 2018, the Company had in effect two employee stock option plans that provide for incentive and non-qualified stock options. After accounting for shares issued upon exercise of options, a total of 367,500 shares of the Company’s common stock remain available for issuance as of June 30, 2018. Under the terms of the plans, options may not be granted for less than the fair market value of the Common Stock at the date of grant. Vesting generally occurs ratably between one and five years and for non-employee directors, immediately, and the options are exercisable over a period no longer than 10 years after the grant date. As of June 30, 2018, options to purchase 367,500 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding, of which 367,500 were exercisable, and 0 shares were unvested.

7. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 consists of the following:



	2018			2017
Current income tax (benefit) provision
Federal	$	—		$	—
State	—			—
	—			—
Deferred income tax provision
Federal	(3,498,532		)	125,468

Change in valuation allowance	4,498,113			(147,610		)
	—			—
Income tax (benefit)	$	—		$	—

Income taxes (benefit) as a percentage of income (loss) for the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 differ from statutory federal income tax rate due to the following:



	2018		2017
Statutory federal income tax rate	34.00	%	34.00	%
Increase in deductible timing differences	(0.51	)%	11.00	%
Tax Act-revaluation of net deferred tax assets	(33.49	)%	0.00	%
Net operating loss carryforward	0.00	%	(45.00	)%
Effective income tax rate	0.00	%	0.00	%

On December 22, 2017, the legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Tax Act") was enacted. The Tax Act revises the U.S. corporate income tax by, among other things, lowering the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%, adopting a quasi-territorial income tax system and setting limitations on deductibility of certain costs (e.g., interest expense).

Due to the complexities involved in the accounting for the Tax Act, on December 22, 2017, the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB")118 was issued to provide guidance to companies that have not yet completed their accounting for the tax Act in the period of enactment. SAB 118 provides that the Company include in its consolidated financial statements a reasonable estimate of the impacts on the Tax Act on earnings to the extent such estimate has been determined. Accordingly, the U.S. provision for income tax for 2018 is based on the reasonable estimate guidance provided by SAB 118.

Pursuant to the SAB 118, the Company is allowed a measurement period of up to one year after the enactment date of the Tax Act to finalize the recording of the related tax impacts. The Company will continue to calculate the impact of the U.S. Tax Act and will record any resulting tax adjustments during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019.

The components of the net deferred income tax assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2018 and 2017 are as follows:



	2018			2017
Deferred income tax assets:
Net operating loss carryforward	$	7,042,134		$	11,323,998
Executive post retirement costs	178,788			306,421

As of June 30, 2018, the Company has a valuation allowance of $7,562,716, which primarily relates to the federal net operating loss carryforwards. During the year ended June 30, 2018, the valuation allowance decreased by$4,498,113 and during the year ended June 30, 2017, the valuation increased by$147,610. The valuation allowance is a result of management evaluating its estimates of the net operating losses available to the Company as they relate to the results of operations of acquired businesses subsequent to their being acquired by the Company. The Company evaluates a variety of factors in determining the amount of the valuation allowance, including the Company’s earnings history, the number of years the Company’s operating loss and tax credits can be carried forward, the existence of taxable temporary differences, and near-term

earnings expectations. Future reversal of the valuation allowance will be recognized either when the benefit is realized or when it has been determined that it is more likely than not that the benefit will be realized through future earnings. Any tax benefits related to stock options that may be recognized in the future through reduction of the associated valuation allowance will be recorded as additional paid-in capital. The Company has available federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $32,010,000 and $3,340,000, respectively, of which $11,067,000 and $2,500,000, respectively, will expire over the next ten years, and $20,943,000 and $840,000, respectively, will expire in years eleven through twenty.

The Company continues to monitor the realization of its deferred tax assets based on changes in circumstances, for example, recurring periods of income for tax purposes following historical periods of cumulative losses or changes in tax laws or regulations. The Company’s income tax provision and management’s assessment of the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets involve significant judgments and estimates. If taxable income expectations change, in the near term the Company may be required to reduce the valuation allowance which would result in a material benefit to the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the benefit is determined by the Company.

With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to audits by tax authorities for tax years prior to the year ended June 30, 2015. However, to the extent allowed by law, the tax authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating losses were generated and carried forward, and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss amount. At June 30, 2018, the Company did not have any significant unrecognized tax positions. The Company has provided what it believes to be an appropriate amount of tax for items that involve interpretation to the tax law. However, events may occur in the future that will cause the Company to reevaluate the current provision and may result in an adjustment to the liability for taxes.

10. Discontinued Operations

BH Holdings, S.A.S ("BHH")

Drew Scientific, Inc. ("Drew"), an inactive subsidiary of the Company which was sold in 2012 has a controling interest in BHH Holidngs, S.A.S ("BHH). On January 12, 2012 BHH, initiated the filing of an insolvency declaration with the Tribunal de Commerce de Rennes, France ("Commercial Court"). The Commercial Court on January 18, 2012 opened the liquidation proceedings with continuation of BHH's activity for three months and named an administrator to manage BHH. Since Drew no longer had a controlling financial interest in BHH it was deconsolidated in the December 31, 2011 quarterly consolidated financial statements and prior period amounts are presented as discontinued operations.

Assets and liabilities of discontinued operations of BHH included in the consolidated balance sheets are summarized as follows at June 30, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands):



	June 30,			June 30,
	2018			2017
Assets
Total assets	$	—		$	—
Liabilities
Accrued lease termination costs	93			91
Total liabilities	93			91
Net liabilities of discontinued operations	$	(93	)	$	(91	)

During fiscal year 2015 the Company was informed by French Counsel that the total amount claimed by the BHH landlord in the liquidation of BHH was approximately $86,000. The Company did not have insight into the French liquidation process due to the Liquidator's reticence to communicate with the Company. As such, the Company had accrued the present value of the maximum amount potentially due under the lease guaranteed by the Company on behalf of BHH. The landlord's claim under liquidation of approximately $86,000 cannot be revisited by the landlord and can only be potentially increased by interest or sundry expenses. Beginning in 2016 any changes to this liability are included in continuing operations. As of June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017 the liability was approximately $93,000 and $91,000, respectively.

11. Related Party Transactions and Preferred Stock

Each share of Preferred Stock entitles the Holder thereof to 13 votes per share and will vote together with all other classes and series of stock of the Company as a single class on all actions to be taken by the Company’s stockholders. As a result of this voting power, the Holders as of June 30, 2018 beneficially own approximately 77.49% of the voting power on all actions to be taken by the Company’s shareholders.

Subject to the terms and conditions of Preferred Stock, the holder of any share or shares of the Preferred Stock has the right, at its option at any time, to convert each such share of Preferred Stock (except that, upon any liquidation of the Company, the right of conversion will terminate at the close of business on the business day fixed for payment of the amounts distributable on the Preferred Stock) into 2.15 shares of Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio”). The Conversion Ratio is subject standard provisions for adjustment in the event of a subdivision or combination of the Company’s Common Stock and upon any reorganization or reclassification of the capital stock of the Company. If the Holders were to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio the Holders would receive a total of 4,300,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 36.28% of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock assuming such conversion.

Each outstanding share of the Preferred Stock accrues dividends calculated cumulatively at the annual rate of $.0258 per share (such amount subject to equitable adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination, reclassification other similar event), payable upon the earlier of (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (ii) conversion of the Preferred Stock into Common Stock. Upon either of such events, all such accrued and unpaid dividends, whether or not earned or declared, to and until the date of such event, will become immediately due and payable and will be paid in full. The dividends payable to the holders of the Preferred Stock is payable in cash or, at the election of any such holder, in a number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of the dividend expressed in dollars divided by the then applicable Conversion Ratio, described above. As of June 30, 2018 the cumulative dividends payable was $19,368 ($0.0258) per share).

12. Line of Credit

As of June 30, 2018, the line of credit balance was $165,000. The line of credit interest expense was $37,000 for the year ended June 30, 2018. The line of credit was paid off on July 3, 2018. The line of credit expense is $33,000 for the year ended June 30, 2017.

On June 29, 2018 the Company entered a business loan agreement with TD bank receiving a promissory note of $250,000. The interest is subject to change based on changes in an independent index which the Wall Street Journal Prime. The index rate at the date of the agreement is 5.000% per annum. Interest on the unpaid principal balance of the note will be calculated using a rate of 0.740 percentage points over the index, adjusted if necessary for any minimum and maximum rate limitations, resulting in an initial rate of 5.740% per annum based on a year of 360 days. The Company was required to put $250,000 in the TD bank savings account as collateral. Mr. Richard J. DePiano chairman of the Company executed a guarantee of the loan in favor of TD Bank. Upon signing the agreement the Company also authorizes TD bank to payoff the line of credit with Netwtek. The total payment was be $201,574 which includes $165,000 of outstanding line of credit, $2,579 accrued interest, administrative/legal fee of $1,000, prime plus fee through July 12, 2018 of $1,895 and underminimum fees of $28,797. The underminimum fees of $28,797 was included in the accrued expense as of June 30, 2018.

13. Other Income

14. Concentration of Credit Risk

Credit Risk

Financial Instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk, consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, and trade receivables. Concentration of credit risk with respect to trade receivables is generally diversified due to the large number of entities comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion across geographic areas principally within the United States and international. The Company routinely address the financial strength of its customer and, as a consequence, believes that its receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company does not require customers to post collateral.

Major Customer

No customer accounted for more than 10% of net sales during the years ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.

As of June 30, 2018 the Company had one customer that represents approximately 11% of the total accounts receivable balance. As of June 30, 2017 the Company had one customer that represents approximately 12% of the total accounts receivable balance.
