REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company”, “RMS”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market and emergency medical applications as governed by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) quality and regulatory system and international standards for quality management systems. The Company operates as one segment.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of November 30, 2016, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with instructions to SEC regulation S-X for interim financial statements.
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of November 30, 2016, and the results of operations and cash flow for the three month and nine month periods ended November 30, 2016, and 2015.
The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, and 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended February 29, 2016, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.
USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) 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.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-19—Technical Corrections and Improvements which contains amendments that affect a wide variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The reason for each amendment is provided before each of the amendments for clarity and ease of understanding. The amendments generally fall into one of the following types of categories; (a) Amendments related to differences between original guidance and the ASC: these amendments arose because of differences between original guidance (for example, FASB Statements, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issues, and so forth) and the ASC. These amendments principally carry forward pre-codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the ASC. Many times, either the writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the ASC format and style. As a result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this category may relate to guidance that was codified without some text, reference, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance; (b) Guidance clarification and reference corrections: these amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied; (c) Simplification: these amendments streamline or simplify the ASC through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the ASC; or (d) Minor improvements: these amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.
In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by update 2014-09). The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11 Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Meeting, which is rescinding certain SEC Staff Observer comments that are codified in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas, effective upon adoption of Topic 606. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have any impact on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the 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.
In March 2016, the 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. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

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 not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations upon adoption.
In July 2015, the FASB issued 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.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company maintains a long-term incentive stock benefit plan under which it grants stock options and restricted stock 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.
RECLASSIFICATION
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income.
NOTE 2 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
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 $7,000 and $21,000 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2015, respectively.
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 provided for payment of $16,000 per month for eight days per month, of which half was to be paid in cash and half was to be paid in shares of common stock. Effective January 1, 2016, the agreement provided for the same payment of $16,000 per month, of which seventy-five percent was to be paid in cash and twenty-five percent was to be paid in shares of common stock.
On June 24, 2016, Cyril Narishkin executed a termination and general release agreement, which terminated his previous consulting agreement, and resigned as an officer and director for personal reasons. Mr. Narishkin will be compensated for services as a consultant through January 31, 2017 at a monthly rate of $16,000 per month for up to eight days of service a month upon request of the Company. Mr. Narishkin was granted compensation of $48,000 and $198,000 for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016, respectively. In accordance with the agreement, the Company repurchased 96,542 shares of common stock of the Company owned by Mr. Narishkin at an aggregate purchase price of $43,393.

NOTE 4 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On September 20, 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. Both parties have requested injunctive relief and monetary damages. Discovery is ongoing.
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. On June 23, 2016, EMED filed a motion seeking to have the Company held in contempt, claiming that certain language in the Company’s device labeling does not comply with the injunction. In response to a show cause order, the Company advised the Court that the language in the Company’s labeling that EMED challenged is language that the FDA directed the Company to use in its labeling. The Court discharged the show cause order, effectively rejecting EMED’s contempt argument.
On March 24, 2016, EMED filed a motion seeking a second preliminary injunction prohibiting RMS from selling three of its products in California. The Company opposed that motion on April 19, 2016. A decision on the motion is still pending.
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 requested that the Texas suit be transferred to California. Also, based on a validity review of the patent in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), discussed below, the Company requested the Texas suit be stayed. On May 12, 2016, the Court entered an order staying the case until after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the USPTO issues a final written decision regarding the validity of the patent.
- 9 -
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 USPTO instituted the ex parte reexamination request having found a substantial new question of patentability concerning EMED’s patent in the first filed case. The ex parte reexamination is ongoing. 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. Oral argument for the IPR was held on November 22, 2016 and a final ruling is due on or before February 19, 2017.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in these actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty. If any of these actions against the Company are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
NOTE 5 STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On September 30, 2015, RMS’s Board of Directors authorized a stock repurchase program pursuant to which the Company has and expects to continue to make open market purchases of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The Board of Directors initially authorized such purchases up to 1,000,000 shares. On June 29, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the amendment to the stock repurchase program increasing the authorized to be repurchased to 2,000,000 shares. 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 (the “Commission”) for such repurchases.
As of November 30, 2016, the Company had repurchased 395,356 shares at an average price of $0.45 under the program.
NOTE 6 STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On September 30, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the 2015 Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) authorizing the Company to grant stock option awards to certain officers, employees and consultants under the Plan, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on September 6, 2016. The total number of shares of common stock of the Company, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), with respect to which awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan was not to exceed 2,000,000 shares.
On June 29, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the amendment to the Plan authorizing the total number of shares of common stock authorized to be subject to awards granted under the Plan to be increased to 4,000,000 shares. On September 6, 2016, at the Annual Shareholder Meeting, the Company’s shareholders approved the Plan as amended.
As of November 30, 2016, the Company had awarded 905,000 options to certain executives and key employees under the Plan.
On October 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved non-employee director compensation of $25,000 each annually, to be paid quarterly half in cash and half in common stock, beginning September 1, 2015. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2015 was zero and $0.19, 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 nine months ended November 30, 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:

PART I – ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q 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 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, dependence on key personnel and the outcome of litigation and regulatory investigation. 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 if or when needed to develop and market new products, acceptance of and demand for new and existing products, ability to penetrate new markets, our success in enforcing and obtaining patents, obtaining required Government approvals, attracting and maintaining key personnel, succeeding in defending litigation claims and resolving the FDA Warning Letter 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.
Throughout this report, “RMS,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Repro Med Systems, Inc.
OVERVIEW
Our net sales results for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 increased 1.5% and 4.4%, respectively, versus the same periods last year. The increase is driven by new customers in our international region as well as organic growth with our existing customers both domestically and internationally. We have increased our sales force internationally, which has resulted in gaining two new accounts and we expect to bring on more new customers in the future. Our selling, general and administrative costs are 19.8% and 34.5% higher for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2016 compared with the same period last year. We continue to have high professional fees related to our litigation and regulatory efforts and, although we are making every effort to resolve the litigation and close out our FDA Warning Letter, we cannot predict the timing of either of these efforts, nor can we predict the outcome. We have hired a Chief Medical Officer and plan to increase headcount to facilitate compliance with our quality management system. We are also seeking to fill the role of Chief Operating Officer prior to the end of our fourth quarter to facilitate RMS’s future growth.

Total net sales increased $48,159 or 1.5% for the quarter ended November 30, 2016 compared to the quarter ended November 30, 2015. While domestic sales were nearly even with last year, our international market increased $41,293 or 8.3% mostly due to new customers. We continue to concentrate the majority of our efforts in our infusion product lines, specifically towards new applications in both domestic and international markets. We anticipate sales to continue to increase as new markets, including new patient therapies and new countries, continue to develop and as we work on new enhancements to the FREEDOM60 that we believe will expand markets even further. For example, 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
Our gross profit for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows:

Gross profit decreased $45,336 or 2.1% in the three months ended November 30, 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015. This decrease in the quarter was mostly driven by the increases in sales rebates related to a specific customer contract renewal in the quarter compared to the same period last year, as well as an increase in salary and related costs associated with higher headcount in our quality department to ensure compliance with our quality management system.
Selling, general and administrative and Research and development
Our selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development costs for the three months ended November 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.3 million during the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the same period last year. The increase came primarily from professional fees and consultants related to litigation, regulatory compliance and implementing the FDA’s unique device identification system, representing an aggregate increase of approximately $0.4 million. This was offset by approximately $0.1 million of lower salary and related benefits in sales and marketing due to lower headcount domestically and lower annual bonus expense in the quarter versus last year.
Research and development expenses increased by 14.7%, primarily due to additional engineering employees and consultants. 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 increased by 20.2% up to $83,254 in the three months ended November 30, 2016 compared with $69,274 in the three months ended November 30, 2015 as a result of continued investment in new patent applications and maintenance of existing patents.

Net sales increased in the nine months ended November 30, 2016 by $0.4 million or 4.4% compared to the nine months ended November 30, 2015. This increase was mostly driven by sales of our infusion products which resulted from both organic growth and new customers.

Gross profit increased $0.3 million or 5.7% in the nine months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. This was mostly due to the increase in sales. As a percentage of sales we showed an increase due to the moratorium on the medical device tax offset by the increase in salary and related costs associated with the increased headcount in our quality department.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.6 million during the nine months ended November 30, 2016 as compared to the same period last year. The increase came primarily from professional fees and consultants related to litigation, regulatory compliance, operations management and implementing the FDA’s unique device identification system representing an aggregate increase of approximately $1.5 million. Additionally, expenses were higher in sales and marketing as a result of our reorganization last year and the increase in headcount internationally, as well as initiatives for our website redesign, an aggregate increase of approximately $0.1 million. These costs were all offset by lower payroll and related benefits in general and administrative support due to lower bonus expense versus last year of $0.1 million.
Research and development expenses increased by $39,557 in the nine months ended November 30, 2016 compared to the same period last year mostly due to the addition of engineering employees and consultants.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 11.3%, up to $227,109 in the nine months ended November 30, 2016 compared with $204,087 in the nine months ended November 30, 2015 as a result of continued investment in capital assets mostly related to production and for new patent applications and maintenance of existing patents.

Our net loss for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 was $0.4 million compared with net income of $0.4 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2015. This decrease of $0.9 million is mostly the result of the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million described above, partially offset by increased sales.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our principal source of liquidity is our cash of $3.4 million as of November 30, 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.
We believe that as of November 30, 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 expect this market 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 has and expects to continue to make open market purchases of the Company’s Outstanding Common Stock. The Board of Directors initially authorized such purchases up to 1,000,000 shares. On June 29, 2016, the Board of Directors approved the amendment to the stock repurchase program increasing the authorized to be repurchased to 2,000,000 shares. 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 November 30, 2016, the Company had repurchased 395,356 shares at an average price of $0.45 under the program.

Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities of $0.3 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2016, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $0.4 million, higher inventory levels due to anticipated sales and higher accounts receivable mostly due to a single customer. Offsetting these were the increase in accounts payable mostly due to professional fees and the purchase of raw materials, non-cash charges of $0.2 million for depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible assets, $21,000 of deferred compensation costs and stock based compensation expense of $0.1 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities of $0.9 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2015, was primarily attributable to our net income of $0.4 million, non-cash charges of $0.2 million for depreciation and amortization of long lived tangible and intangible assets, $21,000 of deferred compensation costs, $38,360 of stock based compensation, and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expense of $0.4 million, offset by an increase of accounts receivable of $0.1 million.
Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities of $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 and November 30, 2015, respectively, were primarily attributable to our continued investment in capital assets mostly related to production and for new patent applications and maintenance of existing patents.
Financing Activities
Our net cash used in financing activities of $0.1 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2016 was attributable to stock repurchases under the Company’s repurchase program.
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Management of the Company believes that investors’ understanding of the Company’s performance is enhanced by disclosing non-GAAP financial measures as a reasonable basis for comparison of the Company’s ongoing results of operations. These non-GAAP measures should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures and results. Our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. The table below provides a disclosure of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most closely analogous measure determined in accordance with GAAP.
Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. They are limited in value because they exclude charges that have a material effect on our reported results and, therefore, should not be relied upon as the sole financial measures to evaluate our financial results. The non-GAAP financial measures are meant to supplement, and to be viewed in conjunction with, GAAP financial results.
We disclose and discuss EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure in our public releases, including quarterly earnings releases, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We define EBITDA as earnings (net income) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe that EBITDA is used by investors and other users of our financial statements as a supplemental financial measure that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliation, we believe provides additional information that is useful to gain an understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business. We also believe the disclosure of EBITDA helps investors meaningfully evaluate and compare our cash flow generating capacity from quarter to quarter and year to year. EBITDA is used by management as a supplemental internal measure for planning and forecasting overall expectations and for evaluating actual results against such expectations. Because management uses EBITDA for such purposes, the Company uses EBITDA, adjusted for certain items, as a significant criterion for determining the amount of annual cash incentive compensation paid to our executive officers and employees. We have historically found that EBITDA is superior to other metrics for our company-wide cash incentive program, as it is more easily explained and understood by our typical employee.
We also include the use of non-GAAP normalized net income in our earnings releases. RMS management evaluates its business and makes certain operating decisions (e.g., budgeting, forecasting, employee compensation, asset management and resource allocation) using normalized net income. Management believes that because this measure provides it with useful supplemental information for evaluating and operating the business, investors would find it beneficial to have the opportunity to view the business in the same manner. Normalized net income is a measure that focuses on the Company’s operations and facilitates comparison from period to period on a consistent basis. Management also believes it is appropriate in evaluating the Company’s operations to exclude professional fees related to litigation and regulatory items because these costs are not expected to continue in the long term.

FDA
On February 29, 2016, the Company received a Warning Letter (WL NYK-2016-26) from the New York District Office of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) (“the Letter”) pursuant to observations arising from an FDA site inspection of the Company’s manufacturing facility which occurred over a three week period in June 2015.
The Letter identified a variety of concerns and requested submission of a response to the FDA to which the Company filed its initial response to on March 18, 2016. The Company subsequently had further telephonic and written communications with the FDA. The Company underwent a site re-inspection which concluded on December 16, 2016 with the issuance of a Form 483 (Inspectional Observations) to which the Company plans to respond within the fifteen business days deadline. There is no deadline for a reply by the FDA, and the Company’s manufacturing and distribution continue without interruption.
Although the Company is attempting to meet all of the FDA requirements, we cannot be certain that our actions will be deemed satisfactory by the FDA and this could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-19—Technical Corrections and Improvements which contains amendments that affect a wide variety of topics in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). The reason for each amendment is provided before each of the amendments for clarity and ease of understanding. The amendments generally fall into one of the following types of categories; (a) Amendments related to differences between original guidance and the ASC: these amendments arose because of differences between original guidance (for example, FASB Statements, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issues, and so forth) and the ASC. These amendments principally carry forward pre-codification guidance or subsequent amendments into the ASC. Many times, either the writing style or phrasing of the original guidance did not directly translate into the ASC format and style. As a result, the meaning of the guidance might have been unintentionally altered. Alternatively, amendments in this category may relate to guidance that was codified without some text, reference, or phrasing that, upon review, was deemed important to the guidance; (b) Guidance clarification and reference corrections: these amendments provide clarification through updating wording, correcting references, or a combination of both. In most cases, the feedback suggested that, without these enhancements, guidance may be misapplied; (c) Simplification: these amendments streamline or simplify the ASC through minor structural changes to headings or minor editing of text to improve the usefulness and understandability of the ASC; or (d) Minor improvements: these amendments improve the guidance and are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13—Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326); Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which amends guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost basis, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. The allowance for credit losses is a valuation account that is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial assets to present the net amount expected to be collected. For available for sale debt securities, credit losses should be measured in a manner similar to current GAAP, however Topic 326 will require that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than as a write-down. This ASU affects entities holding financial assets and net investment in leases that are not accounted for at fair value through net income. The amendments affect loans, debt securities, trade receivables, net investments in leases, off balance sheet credit exposures, reinsurance receivables, and any other financial assets not excluded from the scope that have the contractual right to receive cash. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.
In May 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients, which is intended to not change the core principle of the guidance in Topic 606, but rather affect only the narrow aspects of Topic 606 by reducing the potential for diversity in practice at initial application and by reducing the cost and complexity of applying Topic 606 both at transition and on an ongoing basis. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this update are the same as the effective date and transition requirements for Topic 606 (and any other Topic amended by update 2014-09). The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-11 Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815); Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Meeting, which is rescinding certain SEC Staff Observer comments that are codified in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and Topic 932, Extractive Activities—Oil and Gas, effective upon adoption of Topic 606. The Company does not expect the adoption of the ASU to have any impact on its financial statements.
In May 2014, the 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.
In March 2016, the 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. The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

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 not have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations upon adoption.
In July 2015, the FASB issued 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.
PART I – ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Not Applicable.
PART I – ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
The Company’s management, including the Company’s Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as such is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluations, the Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purpose of ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (1) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (2) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended November 30, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
PART II – ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
On September 20, 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. Both parties have requested injunctive relief and monetary damages. Discovery is ongoing.
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. On June 23, 2016, EMED filed a motion seeking to have the Company held in contempt, claiming that certain language in the Company’s device labeling does not comply with the injunction. In response to a show cause order, the Company advised the Court that the language in the Company’s labeling that EMED challenged is language that the FDA directed the Company to use in its labeling. The Court discharged the show cause order, effectively rejecting EMED’s contempt argument.
- 19 -
On March 24, 2016, EMED filed a motion seeking a second preliminary injunction prohibiting RMS from selling three of its products in California. The Company opposed that motion on April 19, 2016. A decision on the motion is still pending.
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 requested that the Texas suit be transferred to California. Also, based on a validity review of the patent in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”), discussed below, the Company requested the Texas suit be stayed. On May 12, 2016, the Court entered an order staying the case until after the Patent Trial and Appeal Board at the USPTO issues a final written decision regarding the validity of the patent.
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 USPTO instituted the ex parte reexamination request having found a substantial new question of patentability concerning EMED’s patent in the first filed case. The ex parte reexamination is ongoing. 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. Oral argument for the IPR was held on November 22, 2016 and a final ruling is due on or before February 19, 2017.
Although the Company believes it has meritorious claims and defenses in these actions and proceedings, their outcomes cannot be predicted with any certainty. If any of these actions against the Company are successful, they could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
PART II – ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
On October 21, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved non-employee director compensation of $25,000 each annually, to be paid quarterly half in cash and half in common stock, beginning September 1, 2015. The number of shares to be issued each quarter is calculated based upon the closing price of the common stock on the last day of each fiscal quarter as reported by the OTCQX (except that the stock issued on February 29, 2016 was calculated based on the closing price of the common stock on February 9, 2016). The Company issued an aggregate of 94,072 shares of common stock to its non-employee directors during the fiscal quarter ended November 30, 2016.
The following table provides information regarding repurchases by the Company of its common stock during the three month period ended November 30, 2016:
