PHOTOMEDEX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
 
Note 1
 
 
Basis of Presentation:
 
The Company:
 
Background
PhotoMedex, Inc. (and its subsidiaries) (the “Company”) is a Global Skin Health Solutions™ company that provides integrated disease management and aesthetic solutions through complementary laser and light-based devices, pharmaceuticals and cosmeceuticals. Through its historical relationships with dermatologists and plastic surgeons, the Company provides products and services that address skin diseases and skin conditions. These diseases and conditions include psoriasis, vitiligo, acne, actinic keratosis (a precursor to certain types of skin cancer) and sun damage. The Company’s experience in addressing these diseases and conditions in the physician market has allowed it to expand its products and services to provide skin health solutions to the indoor tanning and spa markets and the in-store, on-line and television retail consumer markets for home use.
 
The Company’s current strategic focus is built upon four key components – establishment of a unified sales force focused on superior skin health expertise, expanded international capabilities, the development of alternate channels for its varied product lines and a renewed commitment to innovation of its technologies.
 
Based upon the Company’s new strategic focus, management has updated the segments that it currently operates. There are now four distinct business units, or segments (as described in Note 14): three in Dermatology, - Physician Domestic, Physician International, and Other Channels; and one in Surgical, - Surgical Products (SLT®). The segments are distinguished by the Company’s management structure and the markets served or types of customers.
 
The Physician Domestic segment generates revenues by selling XTRAC treatments and lasers, skincare and LED products and Metvixia (a Galderma drug, which the Company’s sales representatives promote and sell) to domestic physicians. The Physician International segment generates revenues by selling dermatology equipment, skincare and LED products to international physicians through distributors. The Other Channels segment generates revenues by selling skincare and LED products to indoor tanning and spa markets and on-line and television retail consumer markets for home use. The Surgical Products segment generates revenues by selling laser and non-laser products including disposables to hospitals and surgery centers both domestically and internationally.
 
The Company's board of directors approved a 1-for-6 reverse stock split of the Company's common stock, which became effective upon receiving stockholder approval on February 3, 2010. As a result of the reverse stock split, every six shares of common stock were combined and reclassified into one share of common stock and the total number of shares outstanding was reduced from approximately 13.5 million shares to approximately 2.2 million shares for all periods presented.
 
Liquidity
As of March 31, 2010, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $119,756,714. To date, the Company has dedicated most of its financial resources to research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative expenses.
 
Cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2010 were $2,102,231, including restricted cash of $78,000. The Company has historically financed its activities with cash from operations, the private placement of equity and debt securities and borrowings under lines of credit.
 
Based on its resources available at March 31, 2010, including the public offering of it securities described below, the substantial reduction in the use of cash in the last nine months and the continuation of its restructuring efforts, the Company believes that it can fund operations through and beyond the second quarter of 2011. However, given the uncertainty in the general economic conditions and its impact on the Company’s business and industry, and in light of the Company’s historical operating losses and negative cash flows, there is no assurance that the Company will not require additional funds in order to continue as a going concern through and beyond the second quarter of 2011.

 
-7-

 


Starting in August 2009, the Company began to restructure its operations and redirect its efforts in a manner that management expects will result in improved results of operations. As part of such redirected efforts, management continues comprehensive efforts to minimize the Company’s operational costs and capital expenditures. In addition, the Company is developing strategies to increase ongoing revenue streams
 
On October 22, 2009, the Company closed a private placement of its common shares with several accredited investors, which yielded gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 million and which improved the Company’s available cash. On November 10, 2009, the Company issued to an affiliate of one of the accredited investors participating in the October 22, 2009 private placement an additional 230,000 shares at a price of $0.65 per share, which yielded additional gross proceeds of $149,500 in the placement. Although this financing, together with the Company’s other resources and arrangements with creditors, satisfied its immediate liquidity constraints at such time, the Company continued to explore additional opportunities to secure capital which might be used to continue to develop new business opportunities and be used to fund operations, if necessary.
 
On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement with Clutterbuck Funds LLC (“Clutterbuck Funds”), a registered investment advisor located in Cleveland, Ohio (the “Clutterbuck Agreement”). The Company received net proceeds of $2,373,000 in the transaction. The secured term note has a principal amount of $2.5 million (the “Term Note”), which accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The Term Note requires the Company to make monthly payments of interest only. The principal matures in 18 months and may be prepaid without penalty at any time. The note is secured by XTRAC lasers that the Company has consigned to physician customers and that are not otherwise pledged to CIT Healthcare LLC and Life Sciences Capital LLC pursuant to the outstanding term notes with such lenders. In connection with the issuance of the Term Note to Clutterbuck Funds, the Company issued Clutterbuck Funds a warrant to purchase 102,180 shares of the Company’s common stock for an initial exercise price of $7.34. The warrant is exercisable at any time on or prior to the fifth anniversary of its issue date. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, the exercise price is subject to a one-time downward adjustment if the Company makes certain issuances of its equity securities at a price per share less than $7.34 during the 36-month period following the issuance of the warrant.
 
In order to consummate the bridge financing, it was necessary to secure the consent of the holder of Convertible Notes (the “Holder”). As of March 19, 2010, the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Notes was $19,546,676. In order to obtain the Holder’s consent, the Company agreed to the following modifications to the Convertible Notes:
 
·  
The Company has combined the aggregate outstanding obligations under the Convertible Notes into two convertible notes. Each note matures on February 27, 2014 and is identical to the original form of convertible note except as noted below;
 
·  
The larger note has a principal amount of $16,746,270. The interest rate of this note was increased from 8% to 10%. The incremental 2% increase in the interest rate may be paid in cash, and may not be paid in convertible PIK notes unless and until our stockholders vote to approve payment in the form of a convertible PIK note;
 
·  
The smaller note has a principal amount of $2,800,406. The conversion price of this note was reduced to $11.26 and the down-round anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion price was removed. The interest rate of this note was increased from 8% to 10%. The full amount of the accrued interest remains payable in cash or convertible PIK notes.
 
·  
The collateral securing the Convertible Notes was expanded by adding a first-priority lien against all of the Company’s assets other than the assets pledged with first-priority liens to CIT Healthcare and to Clutterbuck Funds. When assets are released from the lien of CIT Healthcare, such assets will become subject to the first-priority lien of Clutterbuck Funds and a second-priority lien of the Holder. Finally, when assets are released from the lien of Clutterbuck Funds, such assets will become subject to the first-priority lien of the Holder.
 
·  
Three of the Company’s subsidiaries (ProCyte Corporation, Photo Therapeutics, Inc. and SLT Technology, Inc.) have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes.
 
On May 7, 2010, the Company closed on a public offering of its common shares. The Company sold

 
-8-

 

534,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $6.00 per share. The sale resulted in net proceeds to the Company of approximately $2.0 million. The net proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes and potentially for pay-down of outstanding debt. The underwriters are also entitled to warrants to purchase, in aggregate, 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $7.50 per share.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
 
Quarterly Financial Information and Results of Operations
The financial statements as of March 31, 2010 and for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2010, and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. While management believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information not misleading, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. The former subsidiaries of Photo Therapeutics Group Ltd. have been included in the financial statements from February 27, 2009, the closing date of the acquisition.
 
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and be based on events different from those assumptions. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; estimating, therefore, requires the exercise of judgment. Thus, accounting estimates change as new events or changes in prevailing economic conditions occur, as more experience is acquired, or as additional information is obtained.
 
See “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a discussion of the estimates and judgments necessary in the Company’s accounting for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, property, equipment and depreciation, product development costs and fair value of financial instruments.
 
Fair Value Measurements
The Company measures fair value in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”). ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions there exists a three-tier fair-value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
 
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.
 
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
 
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.
This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value.

The Company’s recurring fair value measurements at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 are as follows:
 
 
   
Fair Value as of March 31, 2010
   
Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets
(Level 1)
   
Significant other Observable Inputs
(Level 2)
   
Significant Unobservable Inputs

The fair value of cash and cash equivalents is based on its demand value, which is equal to its carrying value. The fair values of notes payable and long-term debt are based on borrowing rates that are available to the Company for loans with similar terms, collateral and maturity. The estimated fair values of notes payable and long-term debt approximate the carrying values. Additionally, the carrying value of all other monetary assets and liabilities is estimated to be equal to their fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amount of derivative instruments is marked to fair value. See Note 12, Warrants, for additional discussion.
 
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company recognizes all derivative financial instruments as assets or liabilities in the financial statements and measures them at fair value with changes in fair value reflected as current period income or loss unless the derivatives qualify as hedges. As a result, certain warrants are now accounted for as derivatives. See Note 12, Warrants, for additional discussion.
 
Revenue Recognition
The Company has two distribution channels for its phototherapy treatment equipment. The Company either (i) sells the laser through a distributor or directly to a physician or (ii) places the laser in a physician’s office (at no charge to the physician) and charges the physician a fee for an agreed upon number of treatments. In some cases, the Company and the customer stipulate to a quarterly or other periodic target of procedures to be performed, and accordingly revenue is recognized ratably over the period. When the Company sells an XTRAC laser to a distributor or directly to a foreign or domestic physician, revenue is recognized when the following four criteria have been met: (i) the product has been shipped and the Company has no significant remaining obligations; (ii) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (iii) the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and (iv) collection is probable (the “Criteria”). At times, units are shipped, but revenue is not recognized until all of the Criteria have been met, and until that time, the unit is carried on the books of the Company as inventory.
 
The Company ships most of its products FOB shipping point, although from time to time certain customers, for example governmental customers, will insist upon FOB destination. Among the factors the Company takes into account in determining the proper time at which to recognize revenue are when title to the goods transfers and when the risk of loss transfers. Shipments to distributors or physicians that do not fully satisfy the collection criterion are recognized when invoiced amounts are fully paid or fully assured.
 
Under the terms of the Company’s distributor agreements, distributors do not have a unilateral right to return any unit that they have purchased. However, the Company does allow products to be returned by its distributors for product defects or other claims.

When the Company places a laser in a physician’s office, it generally recognizes service revenue based on the number of patient treatments performed, or purchased under a periodic commitment, by the physician. Treatments to be performed through random laser-access codes that are sold to physicians free of a periodic commitment, but not yet used, are deferred and recognized as a liability until the physician performs the treatment. Unused treatments remain an obligation of the Company because the treatments can only be performed on Company-owned equipment. Once the treatments are delivered to a patient, this obligation has been satisfied.
 
The Company defers substantially all sales of treatment codes ordered by and delivered to its customers within the last two weeks of the period in determining the amount of procedures performed by its physician-customers. Management believes this approach closely approximates the actual amount of unused treatments that existed at the end of a period. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company deferred $552,928 and $1,017,963 respectively, under this approach.
 
The Company generates revenues from its Skin Care business primarily through product sales for skin health, hair care and wound care. The Company recognizes revenues on its products and copper peptide compound when they are shipped, net of returns and allowances. The Company ships the products FOB shipping point.
 
The Company generates revenues from its Photo Therapeutics business primarily from two channels. The first is through product sales of LEDs and skincare products. The second is through milestone payments and potential royalty payments from a licensing agreement. The Company recognizes revenues from the product sales, including sales to distributors and other customers, when the Criteria have been met. The Company recognizes the milestone payments when the milestones have been achieved and potential royalty revenues as they are earned from the licensee.
 
The Company generates revenues from Galderma’s Metvixia and Actilite products by sales generated by our sales representatives. The Company recognizes these product revenues on a net basis when the Criteria have been met.
 
The Company generates revenues from its Surgical Products business primarily from product sales of laser systems, related maintenance service agreements, recurring laser delivery systems and laser accessories. Domestic sales generally are direct to the end-user, though the Company has some sales to or through a small number of domestic distributors; foreign sales are to distributors. The Company recognizes revenues from surgical laser and other product sales, including sales to distributors and other customers, when the Criteria have been met.
 
Revenue from maintenance service agreements is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreements. Revenue from billable services, including repair activity, is recognized when the service is provided.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles
Long-lived assets, such as property and equipment, and purchased intangibles subject to amortization, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to the fair value of the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and would no longer be depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed group classified as discontinued operations would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet. As of March 31, 2010, no such impairment exists.
 
Patent Costs and Licensed Technologies
Costs incurred to obtain or defend patents and licensed technologies are capitalized and amortized over the shorter of the remaining estimated useful lives or eight to 12 years. Developed technology was also recorded in connection with the acquisition of ProCyte in March 2005 and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over seven years. Significant patent costs were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Photo Therapeutics in February 2009 and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over ten years. Other licenses, including the Stern and Mount Sinai licenses, are capitalized and amortized over the estimated useful lives of 10 years. (See Note 5, Patent and Licensed Technologies).
 

 
-11-

 


 
Management evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. If the amount of such estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the net book value of the asset, the asset is written down to fair value. As of March 31, 2010, no such write-down was required. (See Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles).
 
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets were recorded in connection with the acquisition of ProCyte in March 2005. With the exception of the Neutrogena intangible, which has been written down to zero, the assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 10 years. In addition, other intangible assets were recorded in connection with the acquisition of Photo Therapeutics in February 2009. These assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 10 years. (See Note 2, Acquisition).
 
Management evaluates the recoverability of such other intangible assets based on estimates of undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life of the asset. If the amount of such estimated undiscounted future cash flows is less than the net book value of the asset, the asset is written down to fair value. As of March 31, 2010 no such write-down was required. (See Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles).
 
Goodwill
Goodwill was recorded in connection with the acquisition of Photo Therapeutics in February 2009, the acquisition of ProCyte in March 2005 and the acquisition of Acculase in August 2000.
 
Goodwill consists of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations accounted for as purchases. Management evaluates the recoverability of such goodwill by testing for impairment, at least annually. The first stop of the impairment test requires that the Company determine the fair value of each reporting unit, and compare the fair value to the reporting unit’s carrying amount. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds it fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit’s goodwill may be impaired and the Company must perform a second more detailed assessment. The second assessment involves allocating the reporting unit’s fair value to all of its recognized and unrecognized assets and liabilities in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the assessment date. The implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill is then compared to the carrying amount of goodwill to quantify an impairment charge as of the assessment date. There has been no impairment of goodwill recorded through March 31, 2010 (see Impairment of Long-Lived Assets).
 
Accrued Warranty Costs
The Company offers a warranty on product sales generally for a one to two-year period. In the case of domestic sales of XTRAC lasers, however, the Company offers longer periods, ranging from three to four years, in order to meet competition or meet customer demands. The Company provides for the estimated future warranty claims on the date the product is sold. Total accrued warranty is included in other accrued liabilities on the balance sheet. The activity in the warranty accrual during the three months ended March 31, 2010 is summarized as follows:

Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC Topic 740”). ASC Topic 740 prescribes that the use of the liability method be used for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities and are measured using enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences reverse. Any resulting net deferred tax assets are evaluated for recoverability and, accordingly, a valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
 
Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share reflects the potential dilution from the conversion or exercise into common stock of securities such as stock options and warrants.
 
In these consolidated financial statements, diluted net loss per share from continuing operations is the same as basic net loss per share. Thus, no additional shares for the potential dilution from the conversion of the Convertible Notes, or from exercise of warrants related to the Convertible Notes or from other warrants or from the exercise of options into common stock are treated as outstanding in the calculation of diluted net loss per share, since the result would be anti-dilutive. Common stock options and warrants of 591,492 and 390,942 as of March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, were excluded from the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share from continuing operations since their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Share amounts shown on the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009 and share amounts and basic and diluted net loss per share amounts shown on the consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split of 1-for-6 effective February 3, 2010, excluding the rounding up of fractional shares.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) is a more inclusive financial reporting method that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as net income and other changes in shareholders’ investment from transactions and events other than with shareholders. Total comprehensive income (loss) is as follows:
 
   
Three Months Ended March 31,
(unaudited)

Net loss
  $ (3,915,783 )   $ (3,512,187 )
Change in cumulative translation adjustment
    (25,359 )      25,710  
Comprehensive loss
  $ (3,941,142 )   $ (3,486,477 )
 
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Share- Based Payment. Under the fair value recognition provision, of this statement, share-based compensations cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the applicable vesting period of the stock award using the straight-line method.
 
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company paid interest payable on the convertible notes with an issuance of additional convertible note in the amount of $826,676. The Company also issued warrants related to a term loan note which are valued at $769,754, and which offset the carrying value of debt.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company issued warrants to an investor that manages an investment fund (“the Investor”) in conjunction with a convertible debt arrangement which enabled the Company to purchase Photo Therapeutics. These warrants were initially valued at $1,550,311, are carried as a liability and result in a discount from the face of the convertible debt.

For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company paid interest of $95,847 and $211,195, respectively. Income taxes paid in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were immaterial.
 
Accounting Standards Update
In January 2010, the FASB amended the guidance on fair value to add new requirements for disclosures about transfers into and out of Levels 1 and 2 and separate disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements relating to Level 3 measurements. It also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The amendment also revises the guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets to require that disclosures be provided by classes of assets instead of by major categories of assets. The new guidance is effective for the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the requirement to provide the Level 3 activity of purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis, which will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the provisions of guidance required for the period beginning January 1, 2010; however, adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
Note 2
Acquisition:
 
Photo Therapeutics Transaction:
On February 27, 2009, the Company completed the acquisition of the subsidiaries of Photo Therapeutics Group Ltd. The subsidiaries are Photo Therapeutics Ltd. (based in the United Kingdom) and Photo Therapeutics, Inc. (based in California) and are collectively referred to herein as “Photo Therapeutics” or “PTL”. Photo Therapeutics is a developer and provider of non-laser light aesthetic devices for the treatment of a range of clinical and non-clinical dermatological conditions.
 
The Company paid an aggregate purchase price of $13 million for the Photo Therapeutics acquisition. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on management estimates and values derived from an outside independent appraisal. Based on the purchase price allocation, the following table summarizes the determined fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition:
 
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 421,978  
Accounts receivable
    843,007  
Inventories
    1,883,469  
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
    187,232  
Property and equipment
    80,462  
Patents and licensed technologies
    7,400,000  
Other intangible assets
    1,500,000  
Total assets acquired at fair value
    12,316,148  
         
Accounts payable
    (936,099 )
Accrued compensation and related expenses
    (35,906 )
Other accrued liabilities
    (419,186 )
Deferred revenues
    (576,349 )
Total liabilities assumed
    (1,967,540 )
         
Net assets acquired
  $ 10,348,608  
 
The purchase price exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $2,651,392, which was recorded as goodwill. Acquisition costs amounting to $1,532,798 and incurred through December 31, 2008 were expensed as of December 31, 2008; acquisition costs amounting to $432,353 and incurred in 2009 were expensed as of February 27, 2009. Acquisition costs accruing after February 27, 2009 were immaterial and expensed. Based on its analyses, the Company determined that no earn-out will be due to Photo Therapeutics Group Ltd, and that no working capital adjustment will be made to the aggregate purchase price of $13 million. The Company has, to date, made no claims for indemnification out of the $1 million set aside in escrow on February 27, 2009.

Included in other licensed and developed technologies is $200,000 for cost of developed technologies acquired from ProCyte.
 
On March 31, 2006, the Mount Sinai School of Medicine of New York University (“Mount Sinai”) granted the Company an exclusive license, effective April 1, 2006, to use Mount Sinai's patented methodology for utilization of ultraviolet laser light for the treatment of vitiligo. The licensed patent is US Patent No. 6,979,327, Treatment of Vitiligo. It was issued December 27, 2005, and the inventor is James M. Spencer, MD, a member of the Company’s Scientific Advisory Board. The license is carried on the Company’s books at $58,914 and $61,369, net at March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Amortization of this intangible is on a straight-line basis over 10 years, which began in April 2006. The Company is also obligated to pay Mount Sinai a royalty on a combined base of domestic sales of XTRAC treatment codes used for psoriasis as well as for vitiligo. In the first four years of the license, however, Mount Sinai had the right to elect to be paid royalties on an alternate base, comprised simply of treatments for vitiligo, but at a higher royalty rate than the rate applicable to the combined base. This technology is for the laser treatment of vitiligo and is included in other licensed and developed technologies.

The Board of Directors elected to terminate, without cause, the employment of Jeffrey F. O’Donnell, its Chief Executive Officer effective July 31, 2009. Under Mr. O’Donnell’s Employment Agreement, dated October 30, 2007, he was therefore entitled to: (i) severance equal to his base salary, including FICA taxes, from August 1, 2009 to July 31, 2010, amounting to $379,450; (ii) continuation of health benefits over the same twelve-month period, amounting to $11,579 and (iii) payment to him of an amount equal to the premiums necessary to maintain his life and disability insurance over the same twelve-month period, amounting to $8,818. These amounts were recorded as accrued severance for the year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, there was the immediate vesting of all options and restricted stock that had been awarded to him and that were unvested as of July 31, 2009, amounting to compensation of $588,126. This accelerated vesting was recorded as additional paid in capital for the year ended December 31, 2009. The 96,557 options expire between March 1, 2010 and July 31, 2010 and have exercise prices of between $6.23 and $17.50. The 90,000 shares of restricted stock have now become free of contractual restrictions.

Term Note
On March 19, 2010, the Company entered a Term Loan and Security Agreement with Clutterbuck Funds. The Company received net proceeds of $2,373,000 in the transaction. The secured Term Note has a principal amount of $2.5 million, which accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The Term Note requires the Company to make monthly payments of interest only. The principal matures in 18 months and may be prepaid without penalty at any time. The note is secured by XTRAC lasers that the Company has consigned to physician customers and that are not otherwise pledged to CIT Healthcare LLC and Life Sciences Capital LLC pursuant to the outstanding term notes with such lenders.
 
In connection with the issuance of the Term Note to Clutterbuck Funds, the Company issued Clutterbuck Funds a warrant to purchase 102,180 shares of the Company’s common stock for an initial exercise price of $7.34. The warrant is exercisable at any time on or prior to the fifth anniversary of its issue date. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, the exercise price is subject to a one-time downward adjustment if the Company makes certain issuances of our equity securities at a price per share less than $7.34 during the 36-month period following the issuance of the warrant. The warrants are treated as a discount to the debt and are accreted under the effective interest method over the repayment term of 36 months. The Company has accounted for these warrants as equity instruments since there is no option for cash or net-cash settlement when the warrants are exercised and since they are indexed to the Company’s common stock. The Company computed the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes method. The key assumptions used to value the warrants are as follows:

Term Note Credit Facility
In December 2007, the Company entered into a term-note facility with CIT Healthcare LLC and Life Sciences Capital LLC, as equal participants (collectively, “CIT”), for which CIT Healthcare acts as the agent. The facility originally had a maximum principal amount of $12 million and was for a term of one year. The stated interest rate for any draw under the credit facility was set as 675 basis points above the three-year Treasury rate. CIT levied no points on a draw. Each draw was secured by specific XTRAC laser systems consigned under usage agreements with physician-customers.
 
The first draw had two discrete components: carryover debt attributable to the former borrowings, as increased by extinguishment costs (including redemption of certain warrants) which CIT financed; and debt newly incurred to CIT on XTRAC units not previously pledged. The carryover components maintained the monthly debt service payments with increases to principal and changes in the stated interest rates causing minor changes in the number of months set to pay off the discrete draws. The second component was self-amortizing over three years. The beginning

principal of each component was $6,337,325 and $3,990,000, respectively. The effective interest rate for the first draw was 12.50%. The pay-off of each component is between 27 to 36 months. On March 31, 2008, the Company made an additional draw under the credit facility for $840,000. This additional draw is amortized over 36 months at an effective interest rate of 8.55%. On June 30, 2008, the Company made another draw under the credit facility for $832,675 based on the limitations on gross borrowings under the facility. This draw is amortized over 36 months at an effective interest rate of 9.86%.
 
On September 30, 2008, the Company and CIT amended the credit facility to increase the amount the Company could draw on the credit facility by $1,927,534. The interest rate for draws against this amount was set at 850 basis points above the LIBOR rate two days prior to the draw. Each draw was to be secured by certain XTRAC laser systems consigned under usage agreements with physician-customers and the stream of payments generated from such lasers. Each draw has a repayment period of three years. On September 30, 2008, the Company made another draw under the credit facility for the maximum amount allowable under the credit facility. This draw is amortized over 36 months at an effective interest rate of 12.90%. CIT also raised certain defaults of the Company, which the Company took steps to cure and which CIT waived as of February 27, 2009. The Company has used its entire availability under the CIT credit facility.
 
In connection with the CIT credit facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase 235,525 shares of the Company’s common stock to each of CIT Healthcare and Life Sciences Capital in December 2007 (33,646 shares as adjusted to reflect the 1-for-7 reverse stock split effective January 26, 2009; and 5,608 shares as further adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective February 3, 2010). In connection with the amendment to the CIT facility, the Company issued warrants to purchase an additional 192,753 shares to CIT Healthcare in September 2008 (27,536 shares as adjusted to reflect the 1-for-7 reverse stock split effective January 26, 2009; 4,589 shares as further adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective February 3, 2010). The warrants are treated as a discount to the debt and are accreted under the effective interest method over the repayment term of 36 months. The Company has accounted for these warrants as equity instruments since there is no option for cash or net-cash settlement when the warrants are exercised and there is no down-round price protection provision. The Company computed the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes method. The key assumptions used to value the warrants are, after adjustment to reflect the 1-for-7 reverse stock split effective January 26, 2009 and the to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective February 3, 2010, as follows:

The February 27, 2009 acquisition of Photo Therapeutics was funded simultaneously through a convertible debt investment of $18 million from the Investor. This convertible note transaction financed the $13 million purchase price of the acquisition, and a further $5 million in working capital at the closing of the acquisition. Under the terms of the investment, the Investor was obligated to invest up to an additional $7 million in convertible debt in the Company in the event that certain earn-out consideration would be payable under the terms of the Photo Therapeutics acquisition; however, based on its analyses, the Company determined that no earn-out payment was due. The intended use of the $5 million working capital provided was for payment of approximately $3 million in expenditures associated with the transaction with the balance to be used for general corporate purposes.
 
At the closing of the convertible debt financing, and in exchange for the Investor’s payment to the Company of the $18 million purchase price, the Company: (i) issued to the Investor (A) a convertible note in the principal amount of $18 million (the “Original Convertible Note”), and (B) a warrant to purchase 174,367 shares of the Company’s common stock as adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective February 3, 2010; and (ii) paid a transaction fee of $210,000 in cash. The conversion price of the convertible note and the exercise price of the warrant are each $30.96 per share as adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective February 3, 2010.
 
The Original Convertible Note is due on February 27, 2014 with interest payments bi-annually at 8%, due on September 1 and March 1 of each year. The interest can be paid by the issuance of additional convertible notes. The effective interest rate on the Original Convertible Note is 11.64%, which takes into account paid interest as well as accreted interest under an effective interest method from the warrants and loan origination costs. The warrants that were issued give rise to a discount to the debt. This discount, as well as loan origination costs and the transaction fee paid to the Investor, are accreted as interest expense under the effective interest method over the repayment term of 60 months. On March 1, 2010 and September 1, 2009, the Company satisfied interest payments of $748,800 and $720,000, respectively, by issuance of additional convertible notes (the “Additional Convertible Notes” and collectively with the Original Convertible Notes, the “Convertible Notes”). These notes have the same interest rate, convertible price per share and maturity date as the Original Convertible Note. No warrant was issued with the additional convertible note.
 
The convertible notes, as well as the warrant to purchase common stock of the Company, contain down-round provisions such that the number of underlying shares, and the corresponding price per share, change if the Company issues stock below the stated conversion and exercise price of the notes and warrant. In conjunction with the October 2009 private placement of the Company’s common stock, the convertible notes and the warrant were adjusted by contract using a weighted-average formula as specified in the convertible note to have conversion prices and exercise price of $22.11 per share for 846,735 and 244,251 shares, respectively as adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective February 3, 2010.
 
In order to consummate the bridge financing with a term note (see Note 10, Term Note), it was necessary to secure the consent of the holder of Convertible Notes. As of March 19, 2010, the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Notes was $19,546,676. In order to obtain the Holder’s consent, the Company agreed to the following modifications to the Convertible Notes:
 
·  
The Company has combined the aggregate outstanding obligations under the Convertible Notes into two convertible notes. Each note matures on February 27, 2014 and is identical to the original form of convertible note except as noted below;

 
-20-

 

·  
The larger note has a principal amount of $16,746,270. The interest rate of this note was increased from 8% to 10%. The incremental 2% increase in the interest rate may be paid in cash, and may not be paid in convertible paid in kind (“PIK”) notes unless and until our stockholders vote to approve payment in the form of a convertible PIK note;
 
·  
The smaller note has a principal amount of $2,800,406. The conversion price of this note was reduced to $11.26 and the down-round anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion price was removed. The interest rate of this note was increased from 8% to 10%. The full amount of the accrued interest remains payable in cash or convertible PIK notes.
 
·  
The collateral securing the Convertible Note was expanded by adding a first-priority lien against all of the Company’s assets other than the assets pledged with first-priority liens to CIT Healthcare and to Clutterbuck Funds. When assets are released from the lien of CIT Healthcare, such assets will become subject to the first-priority lien of Clutterbuck Funds and a second-priority lien of the Holder. Finally, when assets are released from the lien of Clutterbuck Funds, such assets will become subject to the first-priority lien of the Holder.
 
·  
Three of the Company’s subsidiaries (ProCyte Corporation, Photo Therapeutics, Inc. and SLT Technology, Inc.) have guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Convertible Notes.
 
In conjunction with this, the larger convertible note and the warrants exercise prices were adjusted by contract using a weighted-average formula specified in the convertible note to have a conversion price and exercise price of $21.47 per share for 780,025 and 251,528, respectively.
 
As of March 31, 2010, the total amount due under the convertible notes outstanding was $19,546,676 and the two notes are convertible into an aggregate of 1,028,765 shares of the Company's common stock.
 
Note 12
(b) Warrants
 
The Company accounts for warrants that have provisions that protect holders from a decline in the issue price of its common stock (or “down-round” provisions) or that contain net settlement provision as liabilities instead of equity. Down-round provisions reduce the exercise or conversion price of a warrant or convertible instrument if a company either issues equity shares for a price that is lower than the exercise or conversion price of those instruments or issues new warrants or convertible instruments that have a lower exercise or conversion price. Net settlement provisions allow the holder of the warrant to surrender shares underlying the warrant equal to the exercise price as payment of its exercise price, instead of physically exercising the warrant by paying cash. The Company evaluated whether warrants to acquire its common stock contain provisions that protect holders from declines in the stock price or otherwise could result in modification of the exercise price and/or shares to be issued under the respective warrant agreements based on a variable that is not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option.
 
The warrants issued to the Investor, in conjunction with the $18 million convertible note (see Note 11, Convertible Debt), contain a down-round provision. The Company concluded that the triggering event of the down-round provision was not based on an input to the fair value of “fixed-for-fixed” option and therefore is not considered indexed to the Company’s stock. The warrant contains a net settlement provision, and because it is not indexed to the Company’s stock, is accounted for as a liability.
 
The Company recognizes these warrants as a liability at the fair value on each reporting date. The Company measured the fair value of these warrants as of March 31, 2010, and recorded other expense of $931,381 resulting from the increase of the liability associated with the fair value of the warrants for the period ended March 31, 2010. The Company measured the fair value of these warrants as of March 31, 2009, and recorded other income of $91,222 resulting from the decrease of the liability associated with the fair value of the warrants for the period ended March 31, 2009. The Company has accounted for the Investor’s warrants as a liability due to the “down-round” price protection provision. See Note 1, Fair Value Measurements. The Company computed the value of the warrants using the Black-Scholes method. The following are the key assumptions used to value the warrants as of the dates indicated (as adjusted to reflect the 1-for-6 reverse stock split effective February 3, 2010):

(c) Employee Stock Benefit Plans
 
The Company has two active, stock-based compensation plans available to grant, among other things, incentive and non-qualified stock options to employees, directors and third-party service-providers as well as restricted stock to key employees. Under the 2005 Equity Compensation Plan, a maximum of 194,286 shares of the Company’s common stock have been reserved for issuance. At March 31, 2010, 53,986 shares were available for future grants under this plan. Under the Outside Director Plan 6,772 shares were available for issuance as of March 31, 2010. The other stock options plans are frozen and no further grants will be made from them. The foregoing figures reflect the 1-for-6 reverse split.
 
Stock option activity under all of the Company’s share-based compensation plans for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was as follows:
 
   
 
Number of Options
   
Weighted Average Exercise Price
 
Outstanding, January 1, 2010

Options excercisable at March 31, 2010
    104,701     $ 63.50  

 
-22-

 

 
At March 31, 2010, there was $1,028,854 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested option grants and stock awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.22 years. The intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2010 was not significant.
 
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate fair value of grants of stock options with the following weighted average assumptions:

The Company calculates expected volatility for a share-based grant based on historic daily stock price observations of its common stock during the period immediately preceding the grant that is equal in length to the expected term of the grant. For estimating the expected term of share-based grants made in the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company has adopted the simplified method. The Company has used historical data to estimate expected employee behaviors related to option exercises and forfeitures and included these expected forfeitures as a part of the estimate of expense as of the grant date.
 
With respect to both grants of options and awards of restricted stock, the risk-free rate of interest is based on the U.S. Treasury rates appropriate for the expected term of the grant or award.
 
On June 15, 2009, the Company awarded 4,667 shares of restricted stock to its senior executives. These restricted shares have a purchase price of $0.06 per share; the shares will vest, and no longer be subject to the Company’s right of repurchase, if the Company achieves positive adjusted net income in the year ended December 31, 2010, where adjusted net income is defined as net income after taxes, excluding income and expense from stock options and warrants. Taking into account the conditions for vesting, the Company determined the fair value of the awards to be the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of issuance less the purchase price of the award.
 
Compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included $81,791 from stock options grants and $54,081 from restricted stock awards. Compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included $171,632 from stock options grants and $103,623 from restricted stock awards.
 
Compensation expense is presented as part of the operating results in selling, general and administrative expenses. For stock options granted to consultants, an additional selling, general, and administrative expense in the amount of $73,765 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2010. For stock options granted to consultants an additional selling, general, and administrative expense in the amount of $17,419 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Note 14
Business Segments and Geographic Data:
 
Segments are distinguished by the Company’s management structure, products and services offered, markets served and types of customers. The Physician Domestic segment derives its primary revenues from XTRAC procedures performed by dermatologists, the sales of XTRAC laser sales, and the sales of skincare and LED products in the United States. The Physician International segment, in comparison, generates revenues from the sale of equipment, skincare and LED products to dermatologists outside the United States through a network of distributors. The Other Channels segment derives revenues by selling skincare and LED products to indoor tanning and spa markets and on-line and television retail consumer markets for home use on both a domestic and an international basis.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Report.
 
Introduction, Outlook and Overview of Business Operations
 
We view our current business as comprised of the following four business segments:
 
·  
Physician Domestic;
 
·  
Physician International;
 
·  
Other Channels; and
 
·  
Surgical Products.
 
Physician Domestic
 
In the fourth quarter of 2009, we modified our discrete sales team approach for each of our many product segments and implemented a strategy to develop a single, skin health solutions-based sales force with expertise in our three primary skin health brands, XTRAC, Neova and Omnilux. We believe this solutions-based sales force is a cost-efficient, more productive and scalable organization. The effect of this change is to gain sales and financial leverage out of our current sales force while providing solutions across our complete product suite to our customers.

Rather than selling discrete products, we have shifted the way that we sell our skin health solutions from an individual product focus to educating our customers in the various ways they might utilize multiple products from our varied line to address their patients’ needs. In addition, the new sales approach has created a platform for co-marketing partnership opportunities. For example, on January 11, 2010, we entered into a co-promotion agreement with Galderma Laboratories, L.P., or Galderma, a dermatology sales company, pursuant to which we will promote Galderma’s new photodynamic therapy application (Metvixia, a drug which is activated by Aktilite, an LED device) for the treatment of actinic keratosis, a pre-cancerous skin condition. Co-marketing partnerships, such as our partnership with Galderma, which couple our sales force and products with complementary third-party products, provide us additional opportunities to increase revenue while leveraging our existing infrastructure.
 
Our XTRAC treatment services is a U.S. based business with revenues generally derived from procedures performed by dermatologists. We are engaged in the development, manufacturing and marketing of our proprietary XTRAC® excimer laser and delivery systems and techniques used in the treatment of inflammatory skin disorders, including psoriasis, vitiligo, atopic dermatitis and leukoderma.
 
As part of our commercialization strategy in the United States, we generally offer the XTRAC laser system to targeted dermatologists at no initial capital cost. Under this contractual arrangement, we maintain ownership of the laser and generally earn revenue each time a physician treats a patient with the equipment. We believe this arrangement will increase market penetration. We also may sell the laser directly to the customer for certain reasons, including the costs of logistical support and customer preference and especially now as a means of addressing under-performing accounts while still preserving a vendor-customer relationship. We believe that we are thus able to reach, at reasonable margins, a sector of the laser market that is better suited to a sale model than a per-procedure model.
 
For the last several years we have sought to obtain health insurance coverage for XTRAC laser therapy to treat inflammatory skin disease, particularly psoriasis. We now benefit from the fact that, by our estimates, more than 90% of the insured United States population has policies that provide nearly full reimbursement for the treatment of psoriasis by means of an excimer laser.
 
Our skincare products are aimed at the growing demand for skin health and hair care products, including products to enhance appearance and address the effects of aging on skin and hair. Our skincare products are formulated, branded and targeted at specific markets. Our initial products addressed the dermatology, plastic and cosmetic surgery markets for use after various procedures. Anti-aging skincare products were added to offer a comprehensive approach for a patient’s skincare regimen. In 2009, we introduced DNA topical products, which include DNA Nourishing Lotion and DNA Total Repair which use innovative technology to address the effects of photo-damage. We also introduced Neova® Skin Care Systems, which are kits of Neova products that target specific conditions with complete treatment programs. The programs are Intense Age Defense, Extremely Clear, and Essential Eye Recovery. These kits are designed to make it simpler for physicians to dispense the products and to ensure patient compliance and satisfaction.
 
Our PTL products are non-laser light aesthetic devices for the treatment of a range of clinical and non-clinical dermatological conditions. Our PTL segment has a portfolio of independent, experimental research that supports the efficacy and safety of our Omnilux technology system. Based on a patented technology platform comprised of a unique light-emitting diode (“LED”) array, this technology delivers narrow-band, spectrally pure light of specific intensity, wavelength and dose to achieve clinically proven results via a process called photo bio-modulation. Since this technology generates no heat, a patient feels no pain or discomfort which results in improved regime compliance and a higher likelihood of repeat procedures; this is in direct contrast to the current laser light-based technologies serving the aesthetics market today.
 
Our PTL LED products compete in the professional aesthetics device market for LED aesthetic medical procedures. We have incorporated our PTL technology offering into professional products comprising the Omnilux™ systems for the medical market.

Physician International
 
Our international operations and selling approach have been realigned and management believes our international organization has been dramatically enhanced through two initiatives. First, we have entered into an expanded management relationship with The Lotus Global Group, Inc., doing business as GlobalMed Technologies Co., or GlobalMed, with respect to our laser and light-based devices. GlobalMed is an international distribution and management company focused on creating increased market opportunity through the engagement and management of local in-country distributors and providing assistance in expediting regulatory approvals. Historically, GlobalMed managed our distribution relationships in the Pacific Rim for the XTRAC and VTRAC product lines, which represented a majority of our total international device sales. As a result of their success in managing our Pacific Rim distribution relationships, we have now expanded their responsibilities to include all of our laser and light based devices in substantially all markets outside of the U.S. Second, we have begun to undertake significant efforts to expand the international reach of our skincare business in both the physician and consumer channels by reformulating our current products to meet local standards and registering these products in major international markets. These are the first steps in the implementation of our international skincare expansion strategy.
 
In the international market, we derive revenues by selling our dermatology laser and lamp systems and replacement parts to distributors and directly to physicians. In this market, we have benefited from both our clinical studies and from the improved reliability and functionality of the XTRAC laser system. Compared to the domestic segment, the sales of laser and lamp systems in the international segment are influenced to a greater degree by competition from similar laser technologies as well as non-laser lamp alternatives. Over time, this competition has reduced the prices we are able to charge to international distributors for our XTRAC products. To compete with other non-laser UVB products, we offer a lower-priced, lamp-based system called the VTRAC. We have expanded the international marketing of the VTRAC since its introduction in 2006. The VTRAC is used to treat psoriasis and vitiligo.
 
In addition, we also derive revenues by selling our skincare and PTL products to distributors in international markets.
 
Other Channels
 
We are focused on expanding our sales to non-physician related channels, including the indoor tanning and spa markets and the in-store, on-line and television retail channels. We are accessing the indoor tanning and spa markets either through direct relationships with multiple-location market participants or indirectly through industry leading distributors. To further expand our retail channels, we have entered into an engagement with GlobalBeauty Group, or GlobalBeauty, to assist in the development of new sales channels in the direct to consumer skincare market, including the in-store, on-line and television retail channels. GlobalBeauty connects product-focused companies with emerging retail channels in order to expand domestic and international market opportunities.
 
In the other channels segment, we derive revenues by selling our skincare and haircare products through non-physician channels. In addition, through our PTL products we derive revenues from the sale of the Lumiere® systems in the non-medical professional market and our hand-held consumer devices on-line and television retail channels.
 
Surgical Products
 
Our Surgical Products segment generates revenues by selling laser products and disposables to hospitals and surgery centers both within and outside of the United States. Also included in this segment are various non-laser surgical products (e.g. the ClearEss® II suction-irrigation system). We believe that sales of surgical laser systems and the related disposable base will tend to erode as hospitals continue to seek outsourcing solutions instead of purchasing lasers and related disposables for their operating rooms. We are working to offset such erosion by increasing sales from the Diode surgical laser, including original equipment manufacturer (“OEM”) arrangements.
 
Galderma’s Metvixia and Aktilite Products
 
On January 11, 2010, we entered into a co-promotion agreement with Galderma, pursuant to which our sales force will promote Galderma’s Metvixia drug and Aktilite LED light for the photodynamic therapy treatment of actinic keratosis. Metvixia is a topical porphyrin precursor used in photodynamic therapy. When applied to
 

 
-28-

 

actinic keratosis lesions, Metvixia is selectively absorbed into precancerous cells causing a build-up of endogenous porphyrins. These endogenous porphyrins are illuminated with the Aktilite CL128 lamp emitting a narrow output spectrum of red light with a peak wavelength at 630 nm. Subsequently, a reaction occurs that results in the destruction of the precancerous cells. Clinical trials in various countries with the Metvixia PDT system have shown comparable or better response rates than conventional treatments, such as cryotherapy or surgery. Metvixia PDT selectively targets precancerous cells so the surrounding healthy cells are less subjected to the treatment, therein minimizing scarring and ensuring more acceptable cosmetic outcomes for patients.
 
Sales and Marketing
 
As of March 31, 2010, our sales and marketing personnel consisted of 58 full-time positions. Of the 58 sales personnel, they are directed to sales as follows: 53 in Physician Domestic three in Physician International and two in Other Channels.
 
(d) Reverse Stock Split
 
On February 3, 2010, we completed a reverse split of our issued and outstanding shares of common stock at a ratio of 1-for-6, whereby, once effective, every six shares of our common stock was exchanged for one share of our common stock. Our common stock began trading on Nasdaq on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis at the market opening on February 4, 2010. As of March 31, 2010 we had 2,238,637 shares of common stock outstanding on a post-split basis, taking into account the rounding up of fractional shares.
 
(e) Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates made in accordance with them are regularly discussed with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

XTRAC Treatments
 
Recognized treatment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 for domestic XTRAC procedures was $2,221,897 and $2,037,004, respectively, reflecting billed procedures of 37,041 and 35,744, respectively. In addition, 1,391 and 1,805 procedures were performed in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, without billing from us, in connection with clinical research and customer evaluations of the XTRAC laser. The increase in procedures in the period ended March 31, 2010 compared to the comparable period in 2009 was largely related to our increased marketing programs. Increases in procedures are dependent upon building market acceptance through marketing programs with our physician partners and their patients that the XTRAC procedures will be of clinical benefit and generally reimbursed.
 
We have a program to support certain physicians who may be denied reimbursement by private insurance carriers for XTRAC treatments. We recognize service revenue during this program from the sale of XTRAC procedures or equivalent treatments to physicians participating in this program only to the extent the physicians have been reimbursed for the treatments. In addition, we defer substantially all sales of treatment codes ordered by and delivered to the customer within the last two weeks of the period in determining the amount of procedures performed by our physician-customers. Management believes this approach closely approximates the actual amount of unused treatments that existed at the end of a period. For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we deferred net revenues of $148,181 (2,316 procedures) and $321,033 (4,866 procedures), respectively.
 
The following table sets forth the above analysis for our XTRAC treatments for the periods reflected below:

The average price for an XTRAC treatment may be reduced in some instances based on the volume of treatments performed. The average price for a treatment also varies based upon the mix of mild and moderate psoriasis patients treated by our physician partners. We charge a higher price per treatment for moderate psoriasis patients due to the increased body surface area required to be treated, although there are fewer patients with moderate psoriasis than there are with mild psoriasis.
 
XTRAC laser sales
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, domestic XTRAC laser sales were $128,200 and $638,305, respectively. There were 4 and 14 lasers sold during these periods, respectively. We sell the laser directly to the customer for certain reasons, including the costs of logistical support and customer preference as well as a means of addressing under-performing accounts while preserving the vendor-customer relationship. We believe that we are able to reach, at reasonable margins, a sector of the laser market that is better suited to a sale model than a per-procedure, or consignment, model.
 
Skincare products
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 revenues were $1,244,373 compared to $1,416,154 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. These revenues are generated from the sale of various skin, hair care and wound products to physicians in the domestic market. Our skincare products are more susceptible to the macro economic conditions than our other products because cosmetic products are more likely to be discretionary and not medically necessary.
 
PTL products
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, PTL product revenues were $240,650. These revenues are generated from the sale of LED devices. There were 18 LED units sold during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Not included in these revenues were 15 LED units on backorder as of March 31, 2010 due to a delay in the vendor’s production of these systems. From the date of acquisition of Photo Therapeutics on February 27, 2009 thru March 31, 2009, revenues from the PTL products were $188,679 representing 4 LED units.
 
Metvixia
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, Metvixia revenues were $39,867. There were no corresponding revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 as the co-promotion agreement with Galderma began in January 2010. The revenues are based on our percentage share of the gross sales produced through our sales efforts.

International sales of our XTRAC and VTRAC laser systems and related parts were $632,005 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $999,084 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. We sold 16 and 15 systems in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The average price of dermatology equipment sold internationally varies due to the quantities of refurbished domestic XTRAC systems
 

 
-31-

 

and VTRACs sold. Both of these products have lower average selling prices than new XTRAC laser systems. However, by adding these to our product offerings along with expanding into new geographic territories where the products are sold, we have been able to increase overall international dermatology equipment revenues.
 
·  
We sell refurbished domestic XTRAC laser systems into the international market. The selling price for used equipment is substantially less than new equipment, some of which may be substantially depreciated in connection with its use in the domestic market. We sold 10 used lasers in the three months ended March 31, 2010, at an average price of $21,000. We sold no such lasers in the three months ended March 31, 2009; and
 
·  
In addition to the XTRAC laser system (both new and used), we sell the VTRAC, a lamp-based, alternative UVB light source that has a wholesale sales price that is below our competitors’ international dermatology equipment and below our XTRAC laser. In the three months ended March 31, 2010, we sold 2 VTRAC systems, at an average price of $27,500. In the three months ended March 31, 2009, we sold no VTRAC systems. Additionally, we have a backorder of 17 VTRAC systems as of March 31, 2010 due to delays in the production process.

These revenues are generated from the sale of various skin, hair care and wound products to distributors in international markets. The increase was due to increased volume with existing distributors.
 
PTL products
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, PTL product revenues were $236,505. These revenues are generated from the sale of LED devices. There were 18 LED units sold during the three months ended March 31, 2010. Not included in these revenues were 6 LED units on backorder as of March 31, 2010 due to a delay in the vendor’s production of these systems. From the date of acquisition of Photo Therapeutics on February 27, 2009 thru March 31, 2009, revenues from the PTL products were $150,202 representing 8 LED units.

Total Other Channels Revenues
  $ 780,791     $ 921,788  
 
Skincare products
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 revenues from our Skincare products were $481,962 compared to $514,621 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. These revenues are generated from the sale of various skin, hair care and wound and from the sale of copper peptide compound in non-physician related channels. Included in the skincare product revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $79,920 from bulk compound sales. There were no such sales in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
PTL products
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, PTL product revenues were $298,829 and $407,167, respectively. PTL revenues are generated from the sale of LED devices in the spa and indoor tanning markets and milestone payments on a licensing agreement targeting the mass consumer acne market. Included in the three months ended March 31, 2009, there was a milestone payment of $213,105. There was no such corresponding revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
We are actively seeking distribution channels to reach the home-use consumer market with our New-U™ hand-held LED device. Licensing revenues are from a license of the Clear-U, which the licensee intends to use as a platform to attempt to address the mass consumer acne market. We expect that the platform product may be released in 2011.
 
Surgical Products Segment
 
Surgical Products segment revenues include revenues derived from the sale of surgical laser systems together with sales of related laser fibers and laser disposables. Laser fibers and laser disposables are more profitable than laser systems, but the sales of laser systems generate subsequent recurring sales of fibers and disposables.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, surgical products revenues were $801,069 compared to $875,442 in the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in the three-month periods was mainly due to the decrease in fiber and other disposables sales by 32% between the comparable three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. We expect that our disposables base may erode over time as hospitals continue to seek outsourcing solutions instead of purchasing lasers and related disposables for their operating rooms.
 
The change in average price per laser between the periods, as set forth in the table below, was largely due to the mix of lasers sold and partly due to the trade level at which the lasers were sold (i.e. wholesale versus retail). Our diode laser has replaced our Nd:YAG laser, which had a higher sales price. Included in laser sales during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were sales of 9 and 1 diode lasers, respectively. The diode lasers have lower sales prices than our other types of lasers, and thus the increase in the number of diodes sold decreased the average price per laser. We are phasing out our holmium and CO2 laser systems.

Cost of Revenues
 
Our costs of revenues are comprised of product cost of revenues and service cost of revenues. Within product cost of revenues are the costs of products sold in our Physicians Domestic segment (with XTRAC treatments included in the services side of the segment), International Dermatology Equipment segment, Other Channels (with royalties and licensing fees included in the services side of the segment), and our Surgical Products segment (with laser maintenance fees included in the services side of this segment). Within services cost of revenues are the costs associated with our XTRAC treatment revenues, as well as costs associated with royalties and licensing fees and maintenance revenue.
 
Product cost of revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $2,199,610, compared to $2,459,348 in the comparable period in 2009. The $259,738 decrease is due to the decreases in laser sales for XTRAC lasers in both domestic and international segments for $320,230 and due to the overall decrease in revenues. These decreases were offset in part by under-absorption of overhead in both our California and Pennsylvania facilities for approximately $270,000.
 
Service cost of revenues was $1,394,727 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $1,338,252 in the comparable period in 2009 representing an increase of $56,475. The increase is directly related to the increase in Physicians Domestic segment costs of $53,294 related to our XTRAC treatments.
 
Certain allocable XTRAC manufacturing overhead costs are charged against the XTRAC service revenues. Our manufacturing facility in Carlsbad, California is used exclusively for the production of the XTRAC lasers. The unabsorbed costs are allocated to the physician domestic and the physician international segments based on actual production of lasers for each segment. Included in these allocated manufacturing costs are plant inefficiencies for unabsorbed labor and direct plant costs.

The primary reasons for the changes in gross profit and the gross margin percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009 were as follows:
 
·  
Since Photo Therapeutics was acquired on February 27, 2009, costs covering the period ended March 31, 2010 include three months of activity, while costs covering the period ended March 31, 2009 only include one month.
 
·  
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included a milestone payment to us from a licensee of $213,000 under a certain licensing arrangement for the Clear U™ hand-held device. The licensee intends to use the device and its technology as a platform to attempt to address the mass consumer acne market. There were no costs associated with this revenue stream.
 
·  
We sold approximately $510,000 less in domestic XTRAC lasers in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Certain of these lasers were being depreciated until the time of sale, since they were previously utilized as field placements. The cost of sales associated with these sales decreased $128,800 between the comparable three month periods. The margin on these capital equipment sales was 77% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 64% in the comparable period in 2009.
 
·  
There were increases in certain allocable XTRAC manufacturing overhead costs due to an under-absorption of the overhead costs of approximately $220,000. Additionally there were under-absorbed overhead costs related to the surgical products segment of $45,000. These under-absorptions were due to delays in production during the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
·  
We sold 14 XTRAC laser systems and 2 VTRAC lamp-based excimer systems during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 15 XTRAC laser systems and no VTRAC systems in the comparable period in 2009. Included in the 14 XTRAC lasers systems sold were 10 used laser systems, which have a lower average selling price and gross margin percentage, compared to no used laser systems in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Consequently, gross profit increased as a result of the mix of units sold. The gross margin percentage for the VTRAC is higher than for the XTRAC.
 
·  
The revenues for Metvixia products of $39,867 have no associated cost of sales.

Gross profit decreased for this segment for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from the comparable period in 2009 by $390,443. In addition to the overall lower revenues between the periods, other key factors for the decreases were as follows:
 
·  
We began offering enhanced services to our XTRAC treatment consignment program customers through a membership program which bundles certain features and benefits offered to our customers. These services include enhanced access to our reimbursement team, marketing assistance, and discounts off our other product lines. Consequently procedure volume increased by 4% from 35,744 to 37,041 billed procedures in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Price per procedure did not change significantly between the periods. Each incremental treatment procedure carries negligible variable cost.
 
·  
We sold approximately $510,000 less in domestic XTRAC lasers in the three months ended March 31, 2010. Certain of these lasers were being depreciated until the time of sale, since they were previously utilized as field placements. The cost of sales associated with these sales decreased $128,800 between the comparable three month periods. The margin on these capital equipment sales was 77% in the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to 64% in the comparable period in 2009.
 
·  
The revenues for Metvixia products of $39,867 have no associated cost of sales.
 
·  
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, PTL product revenues increased $51,971 over the prior year period, while the cost of sales for these products increased $152,903 for the same comparable periods. This cost of sales was due to the acquisition of Photo Therapeutics occurred on February 27, 2009, so there was only one month’s activity in the comparable prior year period. Due to the acquisition, an additional amortization of $185,000 is allocated to the segments based on each segment’s revenues for PTL products.
 
·  
There was an increase in certain allocable XTRAC manufacturing overhead costs due to an under-absorption of the overhead costs of approximately $170,000. This increase was due to delays in production during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased by $3,099 from the comparable period in 2009. The key factors for the increase were as follows:
 
·  
We sold 14 XTRAC laser systems and 2 VTRAC lamp-based excimer systems during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 15 XTRAC laser systems and no VTRAC systems in the comparable period in 2009. Included in the 14 XTRAC lasers systems sold were 10 used laser systems, which have a lower average selling price and gross margin percentage, compared to no used laser systems in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Consequently, gross profit increased as a result of the mix of units sold. The gross margin percentage for the VTRAC is higher than for the XTRAC.
 
·  
International part sales, which have a higher margin percentage than system sales, decreased $36,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to the same period in 2009.
 
·  
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31 2010 was negatively impacted by increases in certain allocable XTRAC manufacturing overhead costs that are charged against the international dermatology equipment segment. These increased costs, which approximately $50,000, related to an under-absorption of manufacturing costs due to delays in production.
 
·  
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, PTL product revenues increased $86,303 over the prior year period, while the cost of sales for these products increased $139,982 for the same comparable periods. This cost of sales was due to the acquisition of Photo Therapeutics occurred on February 27, 2009, so there was only one month’s activity in the comparable prior year period. Due to the acquisition there is additional amortization of $185,000 that is allocated to the segments based on each segment’s revenues for PTL products.

period in 2009. The key factors for the changes in this business segment were as follows:
 
·  
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 included a milestone payment of $213,000 under a certain licensing arrangement for the Clear U™ hand-held device. The licensee intends to use the device and its technology as a platform to attempt to address the mass consumer acne market. There are no costs associated with this revenue stream.
 
·  
The cost of sales for the PTL business increased mainly due to the fact that it was acquired on February 27, 2009, and consequently the comparable prior year period reflects only one month of activity. In addition, due to the acquisition there is additional amortization of $185,000 that is allocated to the segments based on each segment’s revenues for PTL products.
 
·  
Copper peptide bulk compound is sold at a substantially lower gross margin than our other skin are products. There were revenues of $79,920 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. There were no comparable revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Gross profit for our Surgical Products segment in the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased by $73,150 from the comparable period in 2009. The key factors impacting gross profit were as follows:
 
·  
This segment includes product sales of surgical laser systems and laser disposables. Disposables are more profitable than laser systems, but the sale of laser systems generates the subsequent recurring sale of laser disposables.
 
·  
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 decreased by $74,373 from the three months ended March 31, 2009. There were 8 additional laser systems sold in the three months ended March 31, 2010 than in the comparable period of 2009. However, the lasers sold in the 2010 period were sold at lower prices than those sold in the comparable period in 2009. The decrease in average price per laser was largely due to the mix of lasers sold and volume discounts. Included in the laser sales for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were sales of diode lasers of $190,000, representing 9 systems, and $24,000, representing 1 system respectively, which have substantially lower list sales prices than our other types of surgical lasers.
 
·  
Beginning in 2010, the various allocable manufacturing costs of the Pennsylvania facility are allocated to surgical products, skincare and PTL products. In prior years, these costs were allocated to surgical products only. During 2009 we relocated our skincare and PTL facilities into our Pennsylvania facility and are now able to spread these fixed costs over many product lines.
 
·  
Gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2010 for surgical products was negatively impacted by approximately $45,000 due to delays in laser production that caused an under-absorption of fixed overhead costs.
 
·  
Additionally, there was a decrease in sales of disposables between the periods, which have a higher gross margin as a percent of revenues than lasers. Fiber and other disposables sales decreased 32%

between the comparable three-month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2010, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $5,083,873 from $6,699,930 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 for the following reasons:
 
·  
The majority of the decrease related to a $539,000 in salaries, benefits and travel expenses associated with a decrease in the sales and marketing force and decreased revenues which generated lower commission expenses.
 
·  
In the three months ended March 31, 2009, we expensed $432,000 of legal and transaction costs under ASC Topic 718 incurred in connection with the acquisition of Photo Therapeutics. There was no such corresponding expense in the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
·  
There was a decrease in stock compensation expense of $83,000, mainly due to the termination of an executive officer. Additionally, there was a decrease in general and administrative salary and benefit expenses of approximately $95,000 related to that termination.
 
·  
There was also a decrease in marketing expense of $168,000 which resulted from improved control over marketing efforts.
 
Engineering and Product Development
 
Engineering and product development expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased to $339,277 from $201,697 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase is directly related to engineering and product development expenses related to the PTL products. PTL was acquired on February 27, 2009, and therefore only one month of expense was included in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to a full three months in 2010.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 increased to $653,843from $402,523 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The change in net interest expense was the result of the interest expense on the convertible debt which was issued on February 27, 2009. The following table illustrates the change in interest expense, net:

Change in fair value of warrants
 
In accordance with FASB ASC 470, “Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options” (“ASC Topic 470”) warrants issued in connection with the financing to acquire PTL were recorded at fair value and recognized as liabilities. In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC Topic 820”), we measured the fair value of these warrants as of March 31, 2010, and recorded $931,388 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 in other expense in recording the liabilities associated with these warrants at their fair value as of March 31, 2010. We measured the fair value of these warrants as of March 31, 2009, and recognized $91,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 in other income in recording the liabilities associated with these warrants at their fair value as of March 31, 2009.

(f) Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have historically financed our operations with cash provided by equity financing and from lines of credit.
 
At March 31, 2010, our current ratio was 1.25 compared to 1.20 at December 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010 we had $2,421,765 of working capital compared to $2,214,505 as of December 31, 2009. Cash and cash equivalents were $2,102,231 as of March 31, 2010, as compared to $2,194,788 as of December 31, 2009. We had $78,000 of cash that was classified as restricted as of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009
 
Based on our resources available at March 31, 2010, including the public offering of our securities described below, the substantial reduction in the use of cash in the last nine months and the continuation of our restructuring efforts, we believes that we can fund our operations through and beyond the second quarter of 2011. However, given the uncertainty in the general economic conditions and its impact on our business and industry, and in light of our historical operating losses and negative cash flows, there is no assurance that we will not require additional funds in order to continue as a going concern through and beyond the second quarter of 2011.
 
Starting in August 2009, we began to restructure our operations and redirect our efforts in a manner that management believes will result in improved results of operations. As part of such redirected efforts, management continues comprehensive efforts to minimize our operational costs and capital expenditures. In addition, we are developing strategies to increase ongoing revenue streams
 
On October 22, 2009, we closed a private placement of our common shares with several accredited investors, which yielded gross proceeds of approximately $2.7 million and which improved the available cash. On November 10, 2009, we issued to an affiliate of one of the accredited investors participating in the October 22, 2009 private placement an additional 230,000 shares at a price of $0.65 per share, which yielded additional gross proceeds of $149,500 in the placement. Although this financing, together with our other resources and arrangements with creditors, satisfied its immediate liquidity constraints at such time, we continued to explore additional opportunities to secure capital which might be used to continue to develop new business opportunities and be used to fund operations, if necessary.
 
On March 19, 2010, the Company entered into Term Loan and Security Agreement with Clutterbuck Funds. We received net proceeds of $2,373,000 in the transaction. The secured term note has a principal amount of $2.5 million (the “Term Note”), which accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum. The Term Note requires us to make monthly payments of interest only. The principal matures in 18 months and may be prepaid without penalty at

any time. The Term Note is secured by XTRAC lasers that we have consigned to physician customers and that are not otherwise pledged to CIT Healthcare LLC and Life Sciences Capital LLC pursuant to the outstanding term notes with such lenders. In connection with the issuance of the Term Note to Clutterbuck Funds, we issued Clutterbuck Funds a warrant to purchase 102,180 shares of our common stock for an initial exercise price of $7.34. The warrant is exercisable at any time on or prior to the fifth anniversary of its issue date. Pursuant to the terms of the warrant, the exercise price is subject to a one-time downward adjustment if we makes certain issuances of our equity securities at a price per share less than $7.34 during the 36-month period following the issuance of the warrant.
 
In order to consummate the bridge financing, it was necessary to secure the consent of the holder of Convertible Notes. As of March 19, 2010, the outstanding principal and accrued interest under the Convertible Notes was $19,546,676. In order to obtain the Holder’s consent, we agreed to the following modifications to the Convertible Notes:
 
·  
We have combined the aggregate outstanding obligations under the Convertible Notes into two convertible notes. Each note matures on February 27, 2014 and is identical to the original form of convertible note except as noted below;
 
·  
The larger note has a principal amount of $16,746,270. The interest rate of this note was increased from 8% to 10%. The incremental 2% increase in the interest rate may be paid in cash, and may not be paid in convertible PIK notes unless and until our stockholders vote to approve payment in the form of a convertible PIK note;
 
·  
The smaller note has a principal amount of $2,800,406. The conversion price of this note was reduced to $11.25850 and the down-round anti-dilution adjustment to the conversion price was removed. The interest rate of this note was increased from 8% to 10%. The full amount of the accrued interest remains payable in cash or convertible PIK notes.
 
·  
The collateral securing the Convertible Note was expanded by adding a first-priority lien against all of our assets other than the assets pledged with first-priority liens to CIT Healthcare and to Clutterbuck Funds. When assets are released from the lien of CIT Healthcare, such assets will become subject to the first-priority lien of Clutterbuck Funds and a second-priority lien of the Holder. Finally, when assets are released from the lien of Clutterbuck Funds, such assets will become subject to the first-priority lien of the Holder.
 
·  
Three of our subsidiaries (ProCyte Corporation, Photo Therapeutics, Inc. and SLT Technology, Inc.) have guaranteed our obligations under the Convertible Notes.
 
On May 7, 2010, we closed on a public offering of our common shares. We sold 534,000 shares of our common stock at an offering price of $6.00 per share. The sale resulted in net proceeds to us of approximately $2.0 million. The net proceeds will be used for general working capital purposes and potentially for pay-down of outstanding debt. The underwriters are also entitled to warrants to purchase, in aggregate, 25,000 shares of our common stock at $7.50 per share.
 
Net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities was $273,179 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to cash provided of $2,638,755 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease was mostly due to the decreases in accounts receivables and in inventories.
 
Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities was $807,997 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 compared to $13,497,222 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This was primarily due to the placement of lasers into service.
 
When we retire a laser from service, we transfer the laser into inventory and then write off the net book value of the laser, which is typically negligible. Over the last few years the retirements of lasers from service have been minor or immaterial and, therefore, they are reported with placements on a net basis.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
Except for items discussed in Legal Proceedings below, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, there were no other items that significantly impacted our commitments and contingencies as discussed in the notes to our 2009 annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
At March 31, 2010, we have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Impact of Inflation
 
We have not operated in a highly inflationary period, and we do not believe that inflation has had a material effect on sales or expenses.
 
ITEM 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
 
We have certain derivative financial instruments related to certain of our outstanding warrants. The derivative financial instruments are revalued each period, which may cause material fluctuations in our results from operations. As a result of this volatility, we may experience material swings in our net loss or income attributable to common stockholders. We are presenting pro-forma information which shows the effect on the derivative liability if our common stock price of $10.31 on March 31, 2010 should increase or decrease by $1.50.
 
The following table shows the effect of changes in the price of our common stock prices on the derivative financial instruments shown in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and the increase in fair value of derivative financial instruments and net loss attributable to our common stockholders shown in the condensed consolidated statement of operations as of March 31, 2010.

Foreign Exchange Risk
 
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to the operation of our international subsidiary. The subsidiary’s main operating currency is pounds sterling. At the end of each reporting period, expenses of the subsidiary are converted into US dollars using the average currency rate in effect for the period and assets and liabilities are converted into US dollars using the exchange rate in effect at the end of the period.

Additionally, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations relating to payments we make to vendors and suppliers using foreign currencies. We currently do not hedge against this foreign currency risk. Fluctuations in exchange rates may impact our financial condition and results of operations.
 
ITEM 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Report are effective such that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

No change in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - Other Information
 
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
 
Reference is made to Item 3, Legal Proceedings, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for descriptions of our legal proceedings.
 
Ra Medical
 
Since January 2004, we have been involved in a dispute with Ra Medical Systems, Inc. and Dean Irwin, one of our former employees, arising out of a claim of misappropriation of certain of our proprietary information. We refer to Ra Medical Systems, Inc. and Dean Irwin, collectively, in this prospectus as Ra Medical. In November 2004, Ra Medical brought a malicious prosecution action against us, which was subsequently settled in May 2007. In June 2006, Ra Medical brought an action against us for unfair competition. In that action, we brought counterclaims under Federal and State law addressing such issues as misappropriation, unfair competition and unfair advertising. In October 2008, Ra Medical brought a second malicious prosecution action against us and our outside counsel, alleging that the action we brought in January 2004 against Ra Medical was initiated and maintained with malice. Oral arguments were heard on certain of these matters in June 2009 and decisions from the appellate court were delivered in April 2010.
 
In the action brought by Ra Medical in June 2006, all of our counterclaims against Ra Medical which the trial court had dismissed have been reinstated and remanded by the federal appellate court to the trial court. We will be permitted to proceed with that action on all claims except the alleged misrepresentation that Ra Medical had U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance to market its laser. In the action we brought against Ra Medical in January 2004, the federal appellate court ruled in our favor on two counts, and has reversed the summary judgments on those counts and remanded them back to the trial court. On the third count where we alleged that Ra Medical had misrepresented that it had a clearance from the FDA, the appellate court affirmed the summary judgment of the trial court, holding that it was the sole province of the FDA to determine whether Ra Medical had had a clearance and finding, from the evidence presented to it, that the FDA had not made a clear, unambiguous statement that Ra Medical had lacked a necessary clearance. We are evaluating our next course of action in the federal and state proceedings, which may include seeking to have the pending malicious prosecution action dismissed.

St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company
 
We have notified St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, or St. Paul, our general liability and umbrella liability insurer, of the second malicious prosecution suit brought by Ra Medical. St. Paul has claimed that it has no duty to defend us or indemnify us, asserting, among other things, that it had been released from such duties in the settlement of the previous malicious prosecution action brought by Ra Medical. Notwithstanding these claims, in March 2009, St. Paul informed us that they will pay for the cost of defense subject to a full reservation of rights.
 
Cowen and Company
 
We engaged Cowen and Company, or Cowen, to provide certain services in connection with our acquisition of PTL, including rendering a fairness opinion as to the consideration paid in the transaction. In July 2009, Cowen and Company brought an action against us seeking payment of the fees it had earned in the engagement. On November 10, 2009, we reached a settlement with Cowen, pursuant to which we made a payment of $300,000 to Cowen upon execution of the settlement agreement and will pay the remaining $599,380 in nine monthly installments, at no interest. The final payment will be made in August 2010.
 
Other
 
We are involved in certain other legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe, based on discussions with legal counsel, that these other litigation and claims will likely be resolved without a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
