PART I


ITEM 1. BUSINESS


OUR BUSINESS


REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC., (“REPRO MED,” “RMS Medical Products,” “RMS” or the “Company”), designs, manufactures and markets proprietary and innovative medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market and emergency medical applications in compliance with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality system management. The Company’s development and marketing focus is primarily concentrated on the FREEDOM60® Syringe Infusion System and accessories, RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets and the RES-Q-VAC® Portable Medical Suction System. The Company was incorporated in the State of New York in March 1980.


OUR PRODUCTS


RMS is a cutting edge medical device manufacturer, collaborating closely within the industry to develop products with a focus on improving the lives of its patients.  RMS’ unique infusion delivery system is improving the quality of life of more than 15,000 patients around the world.  Many patients will need to be on their life saving therapy for the rest of their lives, with a number of patients having safely used RMS’ home care FREEDOM infusion system for more than 10 years.


RMS’ innovative pumps, flow controlled tubing and subcutaneous needle sets ensure these patients continue to experience their often weekly infusions as a non-event with no adverse reactions.  The Company’s system gives patients the ability to continue with their daily activities with its easy to use, wearable and portable system.  RMS relies on proven scientific principles to innovate and develop mechanical infusion systems by embracing a culture of continuous improvement.  At RMS Medical Products, patients always come first, which is why health care professionals recommend the use of the FREEDOM system for most patients in the U.S. market.


There is a steady increase in patients being diagnosed with diseases that are remedied by the medicines that RMS’ FREEDOM system delivers, and the Company is well-positioned to continue to gain market share and help impacted patients gain “freedom” in their lives.  Moreover, RMS is poised to expand its product distribution internationally in the near future. Steady U.S. growth forecasts and significant international opportunities ensure that RMS will continue its profitable revenue growth.


FREEDOM60 SYRINGE INFUSION SYSTEM


The FREEDOM60 Syringe Infusion System (“FREEDOM60”), comprised of the FREEDOM60 Syringe Infusion Pump and RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing™, is designed for ambulatory medication infusions.  For the home care patient, FREEDOM60 is an easy-to-use, lightweight mechanical pump using a 60ml syringe, completely portable and maintenance free, with no batteries to replace. FREEDOM60 offers increased safety, greater reliability and an overall higher quality infusion.  For the infusion professional, FREEDOM60 delivers accurate infusion rates and class-leading flow performance. For the home infusion provider, FREEDOM60 is a cost-effective alternative to replace electronic and disposable pumps.  Given FREEDOM60’s lower acquisition and operating costs, it frees up significant working capital for growing the Company’s infusion businesses.


The FREEDOM60 operates in “dynamic equilibrium,” which means the pump operates at a safe, low pressure and maintains a balance between what a patient’s subcutaneous tissues are able to manage and what the pump infuses.  This balance is created by a safe, limited and controlled pressure, which adjusts the flow rate automatically to the patient’s needs providing a reliable, faster and more comfortable administration with fewer side effects for those patients.  Electronic devices will increase infusion pressure while attempting to continue an infusion at the programmed rate, while the FREEDOM60 design maintains a safe, constant pressure and thereby automatically reduces the flow rate as required, if problems of administration occur.


Ambulatory infusion pumps are most prevalent in the outpatient and home care market although RMS believes there is potential in the hospital setting as well.  Applications for the FREEDOM60 have been expanded to a wide spectrum by the medical and nursing communities due to its unique constant flow design, fluid dynamics functionality and safety profile.  The usage includes the infusion of specialized drugs such as Immunoglobulin G (“IgG”), pain control and chemotherapy.  Applications are also being increased for intravenous antibiotics including the widely used yet challenging to administer Vancomycin, and beta lactams which require longer infusion times as a part of antimicrobial stewardship. In Europe, RMS has observed additional patient success with the use of the FREEDOM60 for pain control, specifically post-operative epidural pain administration.


- 3 -



The FREEDOM60 provides a high-quality delivery to the patient at costs comparable to gravity-driven infusions and is designed for the home health care industry, patient emergency transportation and for any time a low-cost infusion is required. RMS continues to meet milestones in building a product franchise with FREEDOM60 and the sale of RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing. This positions the Company well to expand on the technology of dynamic equilibrium for other home infusion devices.


The use of the FREEDOM60 for treatment of primary immune deficiencies by administering IgG under the skin, a subcutaneous administration (“SCIg”), has continued to increase over the past several years and remains the leading pump in the U.S. for these infusions. For patients with Primary Immunodeficiency, Multifocal Motor Neuropathy, Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura and Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy, this method has vastly improved quality of life with much fewer unpleasant side effects experienced in comparison to the traditional intravenous route.  There is evidence that indications for SCIg therapy will continue to expand to other disease states. The FREEDOM60 is an ideal system for this administration because:


·

the patient is able to self-medicate at home

 

 

·

the pump is easily configured for this application

 

 

·

it is the best value infusion system available in a heavily cost constrained market

 

 

·

it has demonstrated ultimate effectiveness and an impeccable safety profile without any concerns


In March, 2015, at the National Home Infusion Association Show in Phoenix, Arizona, RMS introduced the FreedomEdge™ Syringe Infusion Pump (“FreedomEdge”).  The FreedomEdge uses all of the trusted technology of the FREEDOM60 in a new, smaller package ideal for use with 20ml or 30ml syringe sizes.  Similar to the FREEDOM60, the FreedomEdge utilizes the existing RMS Precision Flow Rate Tubing and provides a great alternative and benefits to the patients who do not need the larger dose capacity.


RMS HIGH-FLO™ SUBCUTANEOUS SAFETY NEEDLE SETS


RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets (“HIgH-Flo”) are designed for self-administration of medicine under the skin. RMS’ needles feature unique design elements specific to subcutaneous self-administration, including a 5-bevel back-cut needle designed for more comfort and less tissue damage. Its needle set design permits drug flows which are the same or faster than those achieved with larger gauge needles currently on the market. This proprietary fluid dynamics engineering, compatible with the FREEDOM60 and FreedomEdge, guarantees the sensitivity of the system’s dynamic equilibrium.


Reflecting RMS’ dedication to clinician safety, the sets’ butterfly wing closures encase needles after use and help to protect against accidental needle stick injuries, an area of concern to the medical community.  The sets are called safety needle sets to reflect this integral feature.


The Company expanded the range of HIgH-Flo sets available, including a 24 gauge set for very high flow rates, to meet the delivery demands of new drugs on the market.  HIgH-Flo sets are also being used in clinical trials worldwide for a number of medications and therapies.


RES-Q-VAC® PORTABLE MEDICAL SUCTION


The RES-Q-VAC Portable Medical Suction System (“RES-Q-VAC”) is a lightweight, portable, hand-operated suction device that removes fluids from a patient’s airway by attaching the RES-Q-VAC pump to various proprietary sterile and non-sterile single-use catheters sized for adult and pediatric suctioning. The bottom-hinged, one-hand operation makes it extremely effective and the product is generally found in emergency vehicles, hospitals, disaster kits, mass casualty trailers and wherever portable aspiration is a necessity, including backup support for powered suction systems.  Additional markets include nursing homes, hospice, sub-acute, dental and military applications.  The Full Stop Protection® filter and disposable features of the RES-Q-VAC reduce the risk of exposing the health professional to human immunodeficiency virus (“HIV”) or Tuberculosis (“TB”) when suctioning a patient or during post treatment cleanup.  All of the parts that connect to the pump are disposable.


A critical component and significant advantage of the RES-Q-VAC system is our Full Stop Protection® filter, a patented filtering system that both prevents leakage and overflow of the aspirated fluids, even at full capacity, and traps many air- and fluid-borne pathogens and potentially infectious materials within the sealable container. This protects users from potential exposure to disease and contamination.  Full Stop Protection meets the requirement of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) ‘Occupational Exposure to Blood Borne Pathogens” Code of Federal Regulations 29 1910.1030.  The Company has received a letter from OSHA confirming that the RES-Q-VAC with Full Stop Protection falls under the engineering controls of the blood borne pathogen regulation and that the product’s use would fulfill the regulatory requirements.


- 4 -



The Centers for Disease Control (“CDC”) and World Health Organization continue to emphasize the importance of minimizing aerosol production during suctioning, in order to reduce the spread of pandemic and epidemic diseases such as Ebola and Influenza. At the current time, we believe that the RES-Q-VAC with Full Stop Protection is the only portable, hand-operated device to comply with CDC directives from 2003.


Hospitals are required under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (“EMTALA”) regulations to provide emergency treatment to patients anywhere in the primary facility and up to 250 yards away.  The RES-Q-VAC ensures full compliance with these regulations and helps minimize unfavorable outcomes and potential lawsuits.  We provide special hospital kits, which are fully stocked to meet all hospital applications, both adult and pediatric.


RMS is actively pursuing a direct sales effort into the hospital market, working with direct sales and several regional distributors in the respiratory market.  It is also working internationally with distributors who are well represented in the hospital and emergency markets.


ON-LINE CALCULATOR


In March 2016, the Company introduced its new On-Line Calculator, a tool to help determine which of the Company’s Precision Flow Rate Tubing and RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Needle Sets to use based on the medication being administered and desired time of infusion.  Customers responded well to the new calculator and expressed that the new format of the On-Line Calculator, which can be used on any computer, tablet or mobile device, was easy to use and very helpful. 


SALES AND DISTRIBUTION


FREEDOM60 systems are sold domestically through both direct sales efforts concentrated on large national accounts and through a network of medical device distributors.  Most of our sales are through distributors, one of which represents approximately 55.3% of our total revenue.


Internationally, we have FREEDOM60 distribution in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, the Benelux countries, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Germany, Sweden and the United Kingdom. We believe that a single distributor in each country will be more predisposed to advertising, promoting, and building the product franchise, and we work closely with our distributors to promote our products.  Since February 2014, we have employed a sales representative based in Sweden to expand our efforts to add distributors in other countries.  In October 2015, we hired an additional sales representative based in Germany.


RES-Q-VAC is sold domestically and internationally by emergency medical device distributors in approximately 25 countries and represents about 5% of our revenue. These distributors generally sell to the end user and advertise these products in relevant publications and in their catalogs.  We also sell directly to some physician offices, hospitals and other institutional customers.  We market the hospital RES-Q-VAC system through regional distributors specializing in the hospital respiratory care market.  We are expanding support in international markets where we believe RES-Q-VAC has higher potential.


During the fiscal year, we have expanded our efforts to market both of our main product lines at national and international trade shows. We support shows attended by our primary customers such as MEDICA, Arab Health, EMS Today, National Home Infusion Association Conference, Infusion Nurses Society, European Society for Immunodeficiencies and the Immune Deficiency Foundation’s regional meetings.


RAW MATERIALS


Raw materials, consisting of components, molded parts and tubing, essential to our business are purchased from numerous suppliers worldwide in the ordinary course of business. Although most of these materials are generally available, we may at times experience shortages of supply. In an effort to manage risk associated with raw materials supply, we work closely with suppliers to help ensure availability and continuity of supply while maintaining high quality and reliability. The company also seeks to develop new and alternative sources of supply where beneficial to its overall raw materials procurement strategy.


The Company also utilizes long-term supply contracts with some suppliers to help maintain continuity of supply and manage the risk of price increases. RMS is not always able to recover cost increases for raw materials through customer pricing due to contractual limits and market forces.


- 5 -



RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT


We recognize the importance of innovation and renovation to our long-term success and are focused on and committed to research and new product development activities.  Our product development team engages in consumer research, product development, current product improvement and testing activities, and also leverages our development capabilities by partnering with a network of outside resources.


We recently completed development of the FreedomEdge, a smaller version of the FREEDOM60, and introduced it at the National Home Infusion Association show in Phoenix, AZ, in March, 2015.  There is no assurance that this product, or any others under development, will result in net revenue or profit increases for the Company.  At the National Home Infusion Association show in New Orleans, LA, in March 2016, the Company introduced its new On-Line Calculator, a tool to help determine which of the Company’s Precision Flow Rate Tubing™ and RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Needle Sets™ to use based on the medication being administered and desired time of infusion.  Customers responded well to the new calculator and expressed that the new format of the On-Line Calculator, which can be used on any computer, tablet, or mobile device, was easy to use and very helpful. 


QUALITY ASSURANCE


RMS’ success depends upon the quality of its products.  Our quality management system plays an essential role in determining and meeting customer requirements, preventing defects, facilitating continuous improvement of the Company’s processes, products and services, and assuring the safety and efficacy of the Company’s products.


Each product that we market is required to meet specific quality standards, both in packaging and in product integrity and quality. If either of those is determined to be compromised at any time, we take corrective and preventive actions designed to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and to meet customer expectations.


MARKETS


The domestic home infusion therapy market is comprised of approximately 4,500 sites of service, including local and national organizations, hospital-affiliated organizations, and national home infusion organizations, and produces approximately $9 - $11 billion in revenue annually*.  With insurance reimbursement for medical devices in decline, we believe that there is a need for a low-cost, effective alternative to electronic and expensive disposable intravenous (“IV”) administration devices for home care.


The ambulatory infusion market has been rapidly changing due to reimbursement issues.  Insurance reimbursement has drastically reduced the market share of high-end electronic type delivery systems as well as high-cost disposable non-electric devices, providing an opportunity for the FREEDOM60.  We believe market pressures have moved specialty pharmacies to consider alternatives to expensive electronic systems especially for new subcutaneous administrations, which usually cannot be done with gravity.  For cost concerns, some patients have been trained to administer intravenous drugs through IV push where the drug is pushed into the vein directly from a syringe.  This is a low-cost option but has been associated with complications and is considered by many to be a higher-risk procedure.  Thus, the overall trend has been towards syringe pumps due to the low-cost of disposables.


There is evidence that indications for SCIg therapy will continue to expand to other disease states.  Manufacturers of various IgG medications have conducted, and are in process of conducting, trials of their drugs for applications other than primary immune deficiency diseases.  To the extent that these trials are successful and the FDA approves these new indications for use, we could see additional sales opportunities in the future.


On May 21, 2010, the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) announced the addition of Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (“SCID”), a primary immunodeficiency disease, to the recommended uniform screening of newborns. The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) has strongly supported and worked tirelessly toward this goal for many years.  As of April 1, 2016, 37 states have added SCID to their uniform newborn screening**.  As more states add this screening, we could see additional sales opportunities in the future.

INSURANCE REIMBURSEMENT


There can be no assurance that Medicare will continue to provide reimbursement for the FREEDOM60.  They may allow reimbursement for other infusion pumps that are currently in the market or new ones that may enter shortly, which could adversely affect our sales into this market.


In order to receive more favorable Medicare reimbursement for the FREEDOM60, we submitted a formal request for a Healthcare Common Procedures Coding System (“HCPCS”) coding verification with the Statistical Analysis Durable Medical Equipment Regional Carrier (“SADMERC”).  It was the determination that the Medicare HCPCS code(s) to bill the four Durable Medical Regional Carriers (“DMERC’s”) should be: “E0779 Ambulatory infusion pump, mechanical, reusable, for infusion 8 hours or greater.”  This code provides reimbursement for the FREEDOM60 for billable syringe pump application approved by Medicare. Current approved uses under Medicare include among others, subcutaneous immune globulin, antivirals, antifungals, and chemotherapeutics.


Effects, if any, of the federal government’s Public Law 111-148, The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, on reimbursements for infusion pumps and related supplies and services cannot be stated with certainty at this time.


We are also closely watching for the effects of the Medicare Home Infusion Site of Care Act of 2015, which intends to amend the Social Security Act to allow the home to be a covered infusion site of care for Medicare beneficiaries.  If passed, it would take effect starting in 2016.  Currently, it appears the bill would encourage greater utilization of home infusion, increasing the potential market for FREEDOM60.


COMPETITION


The FREEDOM60


Competition for the FREEDOM60 for IgG includes electrically powered infusion devices, which are more costly and can create high pressures during delivery, which can cause complications for the administration of IgG. However, there can be no assurance that other companies, including those with greater resources, will not enter the market with competitive products which will have an adverse effect on our sales.


There is the potential for new drugs to enter the market which might change the market conditions for devices such as the FREEDOM60 and RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets (e.g. Hyaluronidase, which can facilitate absorption of IgG, making multiple site infusions unnecessary).  We believe dynamic equilibrium (the principle behind the FREEDOM60) is ideal for new drug combinations, and that they might increase the size of the subcutaneous market, but there can be no assurance that newer drugs will have the same needs and requirements as the current drugs being used.


We are currently involved in legal proceedings with a competitor who has been offering accessories that can be used with the FREEDOM60 (see Item 3 – Legal Proceedings).


The RES-Q-VAC


We believe that the RES-Q-VAC is currently the performance leader for manual, portable suction instruments. In the emergency market, the primary competition is the V-VAC™ from Laerdal Medical.  The V-VAC™ is more difficult to use, cannot suction infants, and cannot be used while wearing heavy gloves such as in chemical warfare or in the extreme cold. Another competitor is the Ambu® Res-Cue Pump™, a lower-cost product similar to our design, made in China.  We believe that the product is not as well made, as ergonomic, nor as versatile, and may not be purchased by the military segment of the market due to lines of supply concerns. We believe that Full Stop Protection substantially separates the RES-Q-VAC from competitive units, which tend to leak fluid when becoming full or could pass airborne pathogens during use.  There is a heightened concern from health care professionals concerning exposure to disease and we believe the RES-Q-VAC provides improved protection for these users.


GOVERNMENT REGULATION


Full Stop Protection meets the requirement of OSHA described below. The Company has received a letter from OSHA confirming that the RES-Q-VAC with Full Stop Protection falls under the engineering controls of the blood borne pathogen regulation and that the products use would fulfill the regulatory requirements.


- 7 -



OSHA 29 Code of Federal Regulations 1910.1030 - Occupational Exposure to Blood borne Pathogens requires that employers of “... emergency medical technicians, paramedics, and other emergency medical service providers; fire fighters, law enforcement personnel, and correctional officers ... must consider and implement devices that are appropriate [to contain blood borne pathogens], commercially available and effective.” These first responders risk exposure to serious disease, and the employers may risk OSHA violations and lawsuits if they fail to consider protective measures such as our Full Stop Protection for RES-Q-VAC.  The Company has received a letter from OSHA indicating that RES-Q-VAC meets the intent of this regulation.


The FDA governs the development and manufacturing of all medical products. The FDA requires us to register our manufacturing facility, list our devices, file notice of intent to market new products, track the locations of certain products and to report any incidents of death or serious injury relating to the products with the FDA. We could become subject to civil and criminal penalties and/or recall seizure or injunctions if we fail to comply with regulations of the FDA.


We are required to comply with federal, state, and local environmental laws; however, there is no significant effect of compliance on capital expenditures, earnings, or competitive position. We do not use significant amounts of hazardous materials in the assembly of these products.


Periodically we are subject to inspections and audits by FDA inspectors and could be impacted by adverse findings. The last quality review by the FDA was in June 2015, which included, among other items, a review of complaints, quality controls, and documentation. The FDA inspection was expanded as a consequence of an extensive “trade complaint” which resulted in the issuance of an FDA FORM 483 in June 2015.   Eight months later, on February 29, 2016 we then received a Warning Letter.  The Company responded and replied to the Warning Letter on March 18, 2016 and continues to have correspondence and dialog with the agency in order to satisfy all of FDA’s concerns cited in the Warning Letter.  The timeframe to close out all of the items in the letter with the FDA could take at least six months.  As explained by the FDA in its Regulatory Procedure Manual Chapter 4, an FDA Warning Letter “…is informal and advisory” “does not commit FDA to taking enforcement action” and “FDA does not consider Warning Letters to be final agency action.”


The Company is International Organization for Standardization (“ISO”) 13845:2003 certified.  Our new registrar is BSI.


MANUFACTURING


The Company’s employees perform the following operations at the Company’s Chester, NY facility:  electromechanical assembly, calibration, pre- and post-assembly quality control inspection and testing, and final packaging for all products.  Products are assembled using molded plastic parts acquired from several U.S. vendors and two suppliers located in Taiwan.  We also have a contractor, operating in Nicaragua, which makes certain subassemblies that we subsequently incorporate into final products in our Chester, NY, facility.  The availability of parts has not been a problem. The cost and time required to fabricate molds to manufacture parts can slow the development of new products and might temporarily limit supply if we determine it is advisable to seek alternate sources of supply for existing products. Our policy has been to have multiple sources of supply, where practicable, that also offer mold-building capabilities as a service.


EMPLOYEES


As of February 29, 2016, we had 55 full time employees.


The Company carries insurance on the life of Andrew Sealfon, Chief Executive Officer, providing a death benefit of $3.1 million.


PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS


We have filed and received U.S. protection for many of our products and, in some cases where it was no longer deemed economically beneficial, we have allowed certain patent protections to lapse.  The patent position of small companies is highly uncertain and involves complex legal and factual questions. Consequently, there can be no assurance that patent applications relating to products or technology will result in patents being granted or that, if issued, the patents will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. Furthermore, some patent licenses held may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain events or become non-exclusive after a specified period. There can be no assurance that we will have the financial resources necessary to enforce any patent rights we may hold.  See Item 3. Legal Proceedings for details regarding our patent litigation.

ITEM 2. PROPERTY


We currently rent a masonry and steel frame building erected on 3.27 acres of land located at 24 Carpenter Road, Chester, New York 10918.  This facility is used as our headquarters, for manufacturing operations and for research & development.


Currently, we are in year seventeen of a twenty-year lease and are responsible for all repairs, maintenance, and upkeep of the space occupied. The terms of the lease call for monthly lease payments of $11,042, and we contribute payments of 65% of the building’s annual property taxes, amounting to $47,408 for the year ended February 29, 2016.


We also lease 2,500 square feet of warehouse space in a nearby industrial park on a year-to-year basis. In Fiscal 2016, we paid $23,222 in rent and common charges for this space.


The Company owns a residence adjacent to our facility for use as additional office and research and development space.  We paid cash for the property in the amount of $0.2 million.


ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In 2013, the Company commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California a declaratory judgment action against competitor, EMED Technologies Corp. (“EMED”) to establish the invalidity of one of EMED’s patents and non-infringement of the Company’s needle sets.  EMED answered the complaint and asserted patent infringement and unfair business practice counterclaims. The Company responded by asserting its own unfair business practice claims against EMED.  On June 16, 2015, the Court issued what it termed a “narrow” preliminary injunction against the Company from making certain statements regarding some of EMED’s products.  The Company is complying with that order.  On March 24, 2016, EMED filed a motion for a second preliminary injunction regarding sales of RMS products in California.  The Company is opposing that motion and briefing for this motion, as well as case discovery is ongoing.


On June 25, 2015, EMED filed a claim of patent infringement for the second of its patents, also directed to the Company’s needle sets, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.  This second patent is related to the one concerning the Company’s declaratory judgment action.  Given the close relationship between the two patents, the Company has requested that the Texas suit be transferred to California.  The Court has not yet ruled on the Company’s transfer request.  Discovery in the Texas suit is ongoing.


On September 11, 2015, the Company requested an ex parte reexamination of the patent in the first filed case, and on September 17, 2015 the Company requested an inter partes review (“IPR”) of the patent in the second filed case.  On November 20, 2015, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) instituted the ex parte reexamination request having found a substantial new question of patentability concerning EMED’s patent in the first filed case.  A decision to institute the IPR for EMED’s patent in the second filed case was ordered by the USPTO on February 19, 2016 having determined a reasonable likelihood all claims of the patent may be found to be unpatentable.  Based on the grant of the IPR, the Company intends to request the Court stay proceedings of the second filed case until conclusion of the IPR.


Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in these litigations and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty.

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


This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains certain “forward-looking” statements (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) and information relating to us that are based on the beliefs of the management, as well as assumptions made by management and information currently available.


Our actual results may vary materially from the forward-looking statements made in this report due to important factors such as uncertainties associated with future operating results, unpredictability related to Food and Drug Administration regulations, introduction of competitive products, limited liquidity, reimbursement related risks, government regulation of the home health care industry, success of the research and development effort, expanding the market of FREEDOM60, availability of sufficient capital to continue operations and dependence on key personnel. When used in this report, the words “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “may,” “will,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements reflect current views with respect to future events based on currently available information and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. These statements involve risks and uncertainties with respect to the ability to raise capital to develop and market new products, acceptance in the marketplace of new and existing products, ability to penetrate new markets, our success in enforcing and obtaining patents, obtaining required Government approvals and attracting and maintaining key personnel that could cause the actual results to differ materially. Our actual results, performance and achievements could differ materially from those expressed or implied in these forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revision to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.


INDUSTRY TRENDS


The healthcare industry has seen huge changes in reimbursement and medical insurance during the past decade.  In the U.S., the Affordable Health Care Act was created in part to address the rising costs of medical care and ensure greater efficacy of treatments.  One trend that is significantly impacting the costs of health care is moving treatments out of the hospital and into the home.  Our products are specifically designed for home care infusions, and we expect this trend towards home care infusions to continue and to accelerate.


In Europe, governments have recognized that the increases in health care costs are unsustainable, and are moving towards home care health services as quickly as possible.  Thus we expect the home care infusion market to continue to expand worldwide.


While many countries are attempting to reduce reimbursement and simply lower costs, there is also a trend towards proving efficacy. In the U.S., when patients require additional treatments for the same illness, the responsibility falls back onto the health care provider who must pick up the cost of any additional treatments.  We believe that health systems which consider the outcomes of the treatment will find that our infusion systems are not only cost effective but also have proven favorable outcomes.  


KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS


Management reviews and analyzes several key performance indicators in order to manage our business and assess quality of, potential variability of, our earnings and cash flows.  These key performance indicators include:


·

Net Sales – which is an indicator of our overall business growth:

 

 

·

Gross Profit – is a key factor in the relative strength of our products as gross profits enable us to generate cash to maintain marketing support and research and development, and therefore improve market share;

 

 

·

Operating Expenses – outright and as a percentage of net sales, which is an indicator of the efficiency of our business and our ability to manage to our business plan.

Net sales for the year ended February 29, 2016, increased 8.9% to $12.2 million up from $11.2 million for the same period last year.  The domestic market grew at a strong pace of 12.2%, whereas our international market decreased by (4.8%) due to currency translation, higher sales at a single customer in fiscal 2015 due to temporary treatments and the interim loss of sales from a customer who has since returned to us as a customer.  Helping to offset these declines was our success in gaining several new international customers.


Our infusion products, which include the FREEDOM60 Syringe Infusion System (“FREEDOM60”) and RMS HIgH-Flo Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets drove this increase.  We have concentrated the majority of our efforts in our infusion product lines, specifically towards subcutaneous immune globulin (“SCIG”) applications in both domestic and international markets.  We anticipate sales to continue to increase as the SCIG market continues to develop and as we work on new enhancements to the FREEDOM60 that we believe will expand this market even further. In addition, we expect many of the SCIG providers and others will see benefit in using the FREEDOM60 system for additional uses, such as antibiotics, chemotherapeutics, and pain medications.    Our efforts to reenter into the antibiotic market resulted in a large home care hospital system selecting the FREEDOM60 for all patients receiving this therapy.  


Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $0.9 million or 13.7% in 2016, as compared to 2015, driven by higher net sales and lower production costs.


Gross profit as a percentage of net sales improved 2.6% compared to 2015, mostly due to our lean manufacturing initiatives during the first half of our fiscal year which was partially offset by an accrual for costs associated with a voluntary market withdrawal related to a defect in the packaging supplied to us by a third party vendor.  The second half of our fiscal year continued to have increased capacity, as well as lower direct assembly labor costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $5.9 million in Fiscal 2016, up 24.1% from $4.8 million in Fiscal 2015.  Of the $1.2 million increase, $0.2 million is due to legal fees incurred for our patent litigation, increased regulatory consulting fees incurred for FDA reporting requirements in the amount $0.1 million, our reorganization effort which increased net salaries and related expenses by $0.2 million and also included a severance charge of $0.2 million and recruiting and consulting fees of $0.3 million.  Further adding to the increase was higher trade show expense of $0.1 million due to greater representation at certain shows such as the National Home Infusion Association, attendance at new shows, and the timing of others that are held every two years.  Also adding to the increase was the addition of fees to compensate our board of directors in the aggregate of $50,000 for the year.


Research and development expenses decreased by $0.3 million in Fiscal 2016 compared to the same period last year mostly due to a reduction in outside consulting services and from attrition in the department.  We recently added an engineer to our staff, as we continue to be committed to our research and development efforts in order to develop new products.  We continue to actively pursue new product development and enhance existing product lines based on demand from the marketplace which includes feedback from sales and marketing at RMS and our distributors, the RMS clinical advisory panel, and our strategic business partners.  We believe that such efforts have been useful in helping us to maintain our competitive position, increase revenue from our existing customer base and expand our market reach. Although our research and development efforts have allowed us to develop the Freedom60, our HIgH-Flo needle sets, and the FreedomEdge in 2015, there can be no assurance that our research and development will result in additional commercially successful products.


Depreciation and amortization


Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 4.3% down to $0.27 million in Fiscal 2016 compared with $0.28 million in Fiscal 2015, mostly due to many assets reaching their useful lives, partially offset by capital purchases for our production lines and general facility needs and improvements.

Our net income for the Fiscal 2016 was $0.8 million, 3.9% higher than Fiscal 2015.   This increase is due to an increase of $1.0 million in net sales, improved gross margins due to our lean initiatives throughout the fiscal year and reduced research and development costs, partially offset by the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.2 million as described above.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Our principal source of liquidity is our cash of $4.2 million as of February 29, 2016, and cash flows from operations.  Our principal source of operating cash inflows is from sales of our products to customers.  Our principal cash outflows relate to the purchase and production of inventory and related costs, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development costs, capital expenditures and patent costs.


- 13 -



We believe that as of February 29, 2016, cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operating activities will be sufficient to fund our operations, including further research and development and capital expenditures for the next 12 months.  We believe the FREEDOM60® continues to find a solid following in the subcutaneous immune globulin market and this market is expected to continue to increase both domestically and internationally.


On September 30, 2015, RMS’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company will make open market purchases of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Outstanding Common Stock.  The purchases will be made through a broker to be designated by the Company with price, timing and volume restrictions based on average daily trading volume, consistent with the safe harbor rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for such repurchases.  As of February 29, 2016, the Company had repurchased 180,406 shares at an average price of $0.45 under the program.


RMS HIgH-Flo™ Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets have clearance for sale in Europe, Canada and the U.S. We believe that the RMS administration sets represent an improvement in performance and safety over competitive devices on the market. We believe we have sufficient resources to continue marketing the needle sets domestically and internationally.

Operating Activities


Net cash provided by operating activities of $1.9 million for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, was primarily attributable to our net income of $0.8 million, non-cash charges of $0.3 million for depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible assets, $28,000 of deferred compensation costs and $0.1 million of stock based compensation.  Further adding to the improvement in net cash provided by operating activities was an increase in accounts payable and accrued expense of $0.3 million, a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.3 million and a decrease in inventory levels of $0.2 million.  Inventory levels were also much lower than in the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015 due to initial increases resulting from our outsourcing of subassemblies for our manufacturing process and increased finished good levels for needle sets in that period.  Net cash provided by operating activities of $0.8 million for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015 was primarily attributable to our net income of $0.8 million, non-cash charges of $0.3 million for depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible assets and $0.1 million of deferred compensation costs, all offset mostly by an increase in inventory levels of $0.4 million in the period as described above as well as a decrease in accrued tax liability.


Investing Activities


Our net cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, was primarily attributable to capital expenditures related to purchases of manufacturing equipment and tooling and patent costs.  Our net cash used in investing activities of $0.7 million for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015, was primarily attributable to capital expenditures related to purchases of manufacturing equipment and tooling, installation of a new clean room and patent costs.


Financing Activities


Net cash used by financing activities of $0.1 million for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, was made up of the repurchase of our common stock, mostly offset by the issuance of shares for board of director fees and consulting fees.  Net cash provided by financing activities of $0.2 million for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015, was due to the sale of common stock.

Lease commitments


We currently lease a masonry and steel frame building erected on 3.27 acres of land located at 24 Carpenter Road, Chester, New York 10918. This facility is used as our headquarters, for manufacturing operations and research & development.  We are in year seventeen of a twenty-year lease and are responsible for all repairs, maintenance, and upkeep of the space occupied. The terms of the lease call for a monthly lease payment of $11,042 per month. We also contribute payments of 65% of the building’s annual property taxes, amounting to $47,408 for the year ended February 29, 2016.


We also lease 2,500 square feet of warehouse space in a nearby industrial park on a year-to-year basis. In Fiscal 2016, we paid $23,222 in rent and common charges for this space.


ACCOUNTING POLICIES


Preparation in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our financial statements and accompanying notes.  These estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions we may undertake in the future.  Estimates used in accounting are, among other items, allowance for excess and obsolete inventory, useful lives for depreciation and amortization of long lived assets, contingencies and allowances for doubtful accounts.  Actual results may ultimately differ from our estimates, although we do not generally believe such differences would materially affect the financial statements in any individual year.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-09 — Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The ASU was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and under the ASU, the areas of simplification in the update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classifications of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities.  The amendment eliminates the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. This should not result in a change in practice because the guidance that is being superseded was never effective.  The amendment in this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period.  If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period.


In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  The main difference between the current requirement under GAAP and this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.  This ASU requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease).  The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments.  The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs.  For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance.  Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases).  Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting.  For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases.  This is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted.  This ASU must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients.  Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.  We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU and expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations upon adoption.


In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Prior this ASU, GAAP required an entity to separate deferred income tax asset and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet. This ASU requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. This ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities or retrospectively to all periods presented.  The requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets be offset and presented as a single amount was not affected by this amendment.   The Company has adopted this ASU retrospectively.


- 15 -



In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  The ASU was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and under the ASU, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which would eliminate the other two options that currently exist for the market: (1) replacement cost and (2) net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin.  This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early application is permitted and should be applied prospectively.  The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have any impact on its financial statements.


In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Full or modified retrospective adoption is required and early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Deferral of the Effective Date, which (a) delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and (b) allows early adoption of the ASU by all entities as of the original effective date for public entities.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to clarify identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders

Repro Med Systems, Inc.

Chester, New York


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Repro Med Systems, Inc. as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Repro Med Systems, Inc. as of February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FEBRUARY 29, 2016 AND FEBRUARY 28, 2015


NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


NATURE OF OPERATIONS


REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market and emergency medical applications. The Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) regulates these products. The Company operates as one segment.


CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS


For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company holds cash in excess of $250,000 at multiple depositories, which exceeds the FDIC insurance limits and is, therefore, uninsured.


CERTIFICATES OF DEPOSIT


The certificates of deposit are recorded at cost plus accrued interest. The certificates of deposit earn interest at a rate of 0.35% to 0.55% and mature in June 2016 and February 2017.


INVENTORY


Inventories of raw materials are stated at the lower of standard cost, which approximates average cost, or market value including allocable overhead. Work-in-process and finished goods are stated at the lower of standard cost or market value and include direct labor and allocable overhead.


PATENTS


Costs incurred in obtaining patents have been capitalized and are being amortized over the legal life of the patents.


INCOME TAXES


Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences.


The Company believes that it has no uncertain tax positions requiring disclosure or adjustment.  Generally, tax years starting with 2012 are subject to examination by income tax authorities.


PROPERTY, EQUIPMENT, AND DEPRECIATION


Property and equipment is stated at cost and is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.


STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


The Company maintains various long-term incentive stock benefit plans under which it grants stock options and restricted stock awards to certain directors and key employees.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All options are charged against income at their fair value.  The entire compensation expense of the award is recognized over the vesting period. Shares of stock granted are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date, over the vesting period.


- 22 -



NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE


Basic earnings per share are computed on the weighted average of common shares outstanding during each year. Diluted earnings per share include only an increase in the weighted average shares by the common shares issuable upon exercise of employee and director stock options (Note 6).

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Important estimates include but are not limited to, asset lives, valuation allowances, inventory, and accruals.


REVENUE RECOGNITION


Sales of manufactured products are recorded when shipment occurs. The Company’s revenue stream is derived from the sale of an assembled product. Other service revenues are recorded as the service is performed. Shipping and handling costs generally are billed to customers and are included in sales. The Company generally does not accept return of goods shipped unless it is a Company error. The only credits provided to customers are for defective merchandise.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS


In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2016-09 — Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.  The ASU was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and under the ASU, the areas of simplification in the update involve several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classifications of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows.  Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities.  The amendment eliminates the guidance in Topic 718 that was indefinitely deferred shortly after the issuance of FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. This should not result in a change in practice because the guidance that is being superseded was never effective.  The amendment in this ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Early adoption is permitted for any entity in any interim or annual period.  If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period.  An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period.


- 23 -



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842).  The main difference between the current requirement under GAAP and this ASU is the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases.  This ASU requires that a lessee recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease).  The liability will be equal to the present value of lease payments.  The asset will be based on the liability, subject to adjustment, such as for initial direct costs.  For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance.  Operating leases will result in straight-line expense (similar to current operating leases) while finance leases will result in a front-loaded expense pattern (similar to current capital leases).  Classification will be based on criteria that are largely similar to those applied in current lease accounting.  For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases.  This is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and early adoption is permitted.  This ASU must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition, and provides for certain practical expedients.  Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.  We are currently assessing the potential impact of this ASU and expect it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition and results of operations upon adoption.


In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17 — Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. Prior this ASU, GAAP required an entity to separate deferred income tax asset and liabilities into current and noncurrent amounts on the balance sheet. This ASU requires that all deferred tax assets and liabilities, along with any related valuation allowance, be classified as noncurrent on the balance sheet. This ASU is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. This ASU may be applied either prospectively to all deferred tax assets and liabilities or retrospectively to all periods presented.  The requirement that deferred tax liabilities and assets be offset and presented as a single amount was not affected by this amendment.   The Company has adopted this ASU retrospectively.


In July 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  The ASU was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and under the ASU, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which would eliminate the other two options that currently exist for the market: (1) replacement cost and (2) net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin.  This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early application is permitted and should be applied prospectively.  The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have any impact on its financial statements.


In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Full or modified retrospective adoption is required and early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Deferral of the Effective Date, which (a) delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and (b) allows early adoption of the ASU by all entities as of the original effective date for public entities.  In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net), which is intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, which is intended to clarify identifying performance obligations and the licensing implementation guidance, while retaining the related principles for those areas and the effective date is the same as the requirements in ASU 2014-09.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.


FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS


The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value based on the short-term maturity of these instruments.


- 24 -



ACCOUNTING FOR LONG-LIVED ASSETS


The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment at least annually or whenever the circumstances and situations change such that there is an indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. As of February 29, 2016, the Company does not believe that any of its assets are impaired.

On August 8, 2014, we executed an agreement with Horton Capital Partners Fund, an institutional investor based in Philadelphia, PA, to sell one million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an additional one million shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.45 per share.  The aggregate purchase price was $0.3 million.


On September 30, 2015, RMS’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company will make open market purchases of up to 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s Outstanding Common Stock.  The purchases will be made through a broker to be designated by the Company with price, timing and volume restrictions based on average daily trading volume, consistent with the safe harbor rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission for such repurchases.  As of February 29, 2016, the Company had repurchased 180,406 shares at an average price of $0.45 under the program.


NOTE 6   STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION


In July 2012, 1,465,000 shares were authorized to issue to employees as share compensation valued at $0.18 per share, the market value on the date of the board authorization. The value of these shares will be amortized into operations over the one to two year restriction on the shares. Amortization amounted to zero and $51,750 for the years ended February 28, 2016, and February 28, 2015, respectively.


On September 30, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the 2015 Stock Option Plan authorizing the Company to grant awards to certain employees under the plan at fair market value, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting to be held on July 27, 2016.  The total number of shares of common stock of the Company, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), with respect to which awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000 shares.  As of February 29, 2016, the Company awarded 1,060,000 options to certain executives and key employees under the plan.


On October 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved director compensation of $25,000 each annually, to be paid quarterly half in cash and half in common stock, effective September 1, 2015.  Directors include Dr. Mark Baker, Mr. Mark Pastreich, Mr. Arthur Radin and Mr. Cyril Narishkin.  For purposes of director compensation, Mr. Narishkin will receive $25,000 annually in addition to his payments under his consulting agreement.  As of February 29, 2016, each director was paid $12,500 of which half was paid in cash and half in common stock of which each director received 14,566 in common shares.  Beginning March 1, 2016, all Directors, excluding Mr. Andrew Sealfon, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, will receive director compensation.


The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015 was $0.19 and zero, respectively.  The fair value of each award is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants in the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016. Historical information was the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of the options.  The risk-free interest rate was selected based upon yields of the U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued:

NOTE 10  MAJOR CUSTOMERS


For the years ended February 29, 2016, and February 28, 2015, approximately, 55.3% and 52.9%, respectively, of the Company’s gross product revenues were derived from one major customer.  At February 29, 2016, and February 28, 2015, accounts receivable due from this customer were $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively.


The largest customer in both years is a domestic medical products and supplies distributor.  Although a number of larger infusion customers have elected to consolidate their purchases through one or more distributors in recent years, we continue to maintain a strong direct relationship with them.  We do not believe that their continued purchases of FREEDOM60 pumps, tubing, needle sets and related supplies is contingent upon the distributor.


NOTE 11  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


In 2013, the Company commenced in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California a declaratory judgment action against competitor, EMED Technologies Corp. (“EMED”) to establish the invalidity of one of EMED’s patents and non-infringement of the Company’s needle sets.  EMED answered the complaint and asserted patent infringement and unfair business practice counterclaims. The Company responded by asserting its own unfair business practice claims against EMED.  On June 16, 2015, the Court issued what it termed a “narrow” preliminary injunction against the Company from making certain statements regarding some of EMED’s products.  The Company is complying with that order.  On March 24, 2016, EMED filed a motion for a second preliminary injunction regarding sales of RMS products in California.  The Company is opposing that motion and briefing for this motion, as well as case discovery is ongoing.


On June 25, 2015, EMED filed a claim of patent infringement for the second of its patents, also directed to the Company’s needle sets, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas.  This second patent is related to the one concerning the Company’s declaratory judgment action.  Given the close relationship between the two patents, the Company has requested that the Texas suit be transferred to California.  The Court has not yet ruled on the Company’s transfer request.  Discovery in the Texas suit is ongoing.


On September 11, 2015, the Company requested an ex parte reexamination of the patent in the first filed case, and on September 17, 2015 the Company requested an inter partes review (IPR) of the patent in the second filed case.  On November 20, 2015, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) instituted the ex parte reexamination request having found a substantial new question of patentability concerning EMED’s patent in the first filed case.  A decision to institute the IPR for EMED’s patent in the second filed case was ordered by the USPTO on February 19, 2016 having determined a reasonable likelihood all claims of the patent may be found to be unpatentable.  Based on the grant of the IPR, the Company intends to request the Court stay proceedings of the second filed case until conclusion of the IPR.


Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in these litigations and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


During the fiscal years ended February 29, 2016 and February 28, 2015, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C. with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C. concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).


ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES


An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of February 29, 2016. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and implemented in conjunction with management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.


There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.


Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 29, 2016. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of February 29, 2016, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.


This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in the annual report.


CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING


There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal year ended February 29, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE


To reduce corporate travel expenses, we maintain and operate a corporate aircraft. Since 1992, the aircraft has been leased from AMI Aviation, Inc. Mr. Andrew Sealfon is a majority shareholder in AMI Aviation. The lease expenses paid were $21,500 in each of the Fiscal Years 2016 and 2015. We believe the AMI lease is on terms competitive with those that could be obtained from unaffiliated third parties.


In February 2011, the Company added Mr. Mark Pastreich as a director. Mr. Pastreich is a principal in the company that owns the building leased by the Company. The Company is in year seventeen of a twenty-year lease. No changes have been made to the lease terms as a result of his directorship, and none are anticipated before the end of the lease.


On December 20, 2013, we executed an agreement effective March 1, 2014, with a Company director, Dr. Mark Baker, to provide clinical research and support services related to new and enhanced applications for the FREEDOM60® Syringe Infusion System. Authorized by the Board of Directors, the agreement provides for payment of 420,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.20 per share over a three-year period.  Amortization amounted to $28,000 for the year ended February 29, 2016.  In August, 2014, Dr. Baker was paid a previously approved bonus of $25,000 to assist him in covering taxes due on the grant of common stock.


On October 21, 2015, Cyril Narishkin was appointed to the Board of Directors and Interim Chief Operating Officer of the Company.  Also effective October 21, 2015, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Narishkin, to support our expanded management team and accelerate our growth opportunities under his role of Interim Chief Operating Officer.  The agreement provides for payment of $16,000 per month, of which half is to be paid in cash and half is to be paid in shares of common stock.  Effective January 1, 2016, the agreement provides for the same payment of $16,000 per month, of which seventy-five percent is to be paid in cash and twenty-five percent is to be paid in shares of common stock.


On April 26, 2016, Cyril Narishkin was appointed President of the Company.
