Description of Business

AdvanSource Biomaterials Corporation (“AdvanSource” or the “Company”), develops advanced polymer materials which provide critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices.  The Company’s biomaterials are used in devices that are designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.  The Company’s business model leverages its proprietary materials science technology and manufacturing expertise in order to expand product sales and royalty and license fee income.

The Company’s technology, notably products such as ChronoFlex®, HydroMed™, and HydroThane™, which have been developed to overcome a wide range of design and functional challenges, such as the need for dimensional stability, ease of manufacture and demanding physical properties to overcoming environmental stress cracking and providing heightened lubricity for ease of insertion.  The Company’s new product extensions customize proprietary polymers for specific customer applications in a wide range of device categories.

The Company’s corporate, development and manufacturing operations are located in Wilmington, Massachusetts.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  The Company has experienced negative operating margins and negative cash flows from operations and expects to continue to incur net losses in the foreseeable future.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company incurred a net loss of $393,000, and used cash from operating activities of $172,000.  The Company anticipates incurring losses at least through fiscal 2013 as it continues its efforts to grow revenues, expand selling and marketing activities, expand into new sales territories, and continued research and development activities to promote new product introductions and enhancements to existing products.  As of June 30, 2012, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $36,763,000 and cash of $324,000.

In June 2011, the Company entered into a long-term license and consulting agreement (the “Agreements”) with a major international developer and manufacturer of medical devices.  In June 2011, the Company received an initial payment of $150,000 (the “Initial Payment”) upon the execution of the Agreements.  In July 2011, the Company received a subsequent payment of $250,000 (the “Subsequent Payment”) upon the transfer of certain technology and know-how.  The Agreements also provide for additional payments upon the achievement of certain milestones.  As of June 30, 2011, the Initial Payment of $150,000 was deferred and revenue was recognized, along with the Subsequent Payment of $250,000, during the three months ended September 30, 2011 when the requirements for recognition of revenue were achieved.  Any future payments with respect to the Agreements will also be deferred until said requirements for recognition of revenue are met.  Since the receipt of the Initial and Subsequent Payments, there have been no additional payments or the achievement of additional milestones through June 30, 2012.

On December 22, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with an independent third-party under which it sold and leased back its land and building generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000.  In addition, the Company entered into a 15-year lease agreement, and was required to place $280,000 of the net proceeds in escrow as a prepayment of the calendar year 2012 lease payments.  As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the balance of the prepaid lease payment was $140,000 and $210,000, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets of the condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The Company provided, as collateral, a security interest in all of its furniture, fixtures, machinery, tooling and equipment.  Due to the determination of continuing involvement in the property, this sale-leaseback transaction is accounted for under the financing method.  See Note 9 for a complete discussion of this transaction.

Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 8-03 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for completed financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of those financial statements.  The results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2012 may not necessarily be indicative of results that may be expected for any succeeding quarter or for the entire fiscal year.  The information contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements, included in our annual report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended March 31, 2012 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Significant accounting policies are described in Note C to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K as of March 31, 2012.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments, which are evaluated on an ongoing basis, and that affect the amounts reported in the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.  Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results could differ from those estimates and judgments.  In particular, significant estimates and judgments include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, useful lives and valuation of property and equipment.

Stock-Based Compensation

AdvanSource’s 1996 Employee, Director and Consultants Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”) was approved by AdvanSource’s Board of Directors and Stockholders in March 1996.  A total of 7,000,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the 1996 Plan.  Under the terms of the 1996 Plan the exercise price of Incentive Stock Options issued under the 1996 Plan must be equal to the fair market value of the common stock at the date of grant.  In the event that Non Qualified Options are granted under the 1996 Plan, the exercise price may be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time of the grant (but not less than par value).  In October 2003, the Company’s shareholders approved the AdvanSource 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock with terms similar to the 1996 Plan.  In January 2006, the Company filed Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering an additional 489,920 total shares of common stock in the 1996 Plan and 2003 Plan.  Total shares of common stock registered under the 1996 Plan and 2003 Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) are 10,489,920.  Substantially all of the stock options granted pursuant to the 1996 Plan provide for the acceleration of vesting of the shares of Common Stock subject to such options in connection with certain changes in control of the Company.  A similar provision is not included in the 2003 Plan.  Normally, options granted expire ten years from the grant date.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

As a result of the Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of its property and equipment, the Company recorded an impairment for a single group of production equipment which existed as of June 30, 2011.  Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $15,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  No such impairment was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

6.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share are based upon the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period plus additional weighted-average common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Common equivalent shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants, the proceeds of which are then assumed to have been used to repurchase outstanding common stock using the treasury stock method.  In addition, the numerator is adjusted for any changes in income or loss that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares.  At June 30, 2012 and 2011, potentially dilutive shares of 2,349,417 and 2,640,485, respectively, were excluded from the diluted loss per share calculations because their effect would be antidilutive.  Shares deemed to be antidilutive include stock options and warrants.

7.

Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock and Warrants

At June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, there were warrants to purchase 219,298 shares of common stock outstanding at an exercise price of $0.874 per share, which are exercisable until March 31, 2015.

The Company issued no shares of common stock or warrants during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

8.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign taxes. Income taxes are accounted for under the liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which the temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The Company evaluates the realizability of our deferred tax assets and establishes a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized.  A valuation allowance has been recorded to offset all deferred tax assets due to uncertainty of realizing the tax benefits of the underlying operating loss and tax credit carry forwards over their carry forward periods.  The Company had no significant deferred tax liabilities as of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012.

The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions using a “more-likely-than-not” threshold for recognizing and resolving uncertain tax positions.  The evaluation of uncertain tax positions is based on factors including, but not limited to, changes in tax law, the measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in tax returns, the effective settlement of matters subject to audit, new audit activity and changes in facts or circumstances related to a tax position.  The Company evaluates this tax position on a quarterly basis.  The Company also accrues for potential interest and penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.  As of June 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had no material unrecognized tax benefits and no adjustments to liabilities or operations were required.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain  statements that are “forward-looking” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Litigation Reform Act”).  These forward looking statements and other information are based on our beliefs as well as assumptions made by us using information currently available.

The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “will,” “should” and similar expressions, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions.  Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or using other similar expressions.

In accordance with the provisions of the Litigation Reform Act, we are making investors aware that such forward-looking statements, because they relate to future events, are by their very nature subject to many important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements contained in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  For example, we may encounter competitive, technological, financial and business challenges making it more difficult than expected to continue to develop and market our products; the market may not accept our existing and future products; we may not be able to retain our customers; we may be unable to retain existing key management personnel; and there may be other material adverse changes in our operations or business.  Certain important factors affecting the forward-looking statements made herein also include, but are not limited to (i) continued downward pricing pressures in our targeted markets, (ii) the continued acquisition of our customers by certain of our competitors, and (iii) continued periods of net losses, which could require us to find additional sources of financing to fund operations, implement our financial and business strategies, meet anticipated capital expenditures and fund research and development costs.  In addition, assumptions relating to budgeting, marketing, product development and other management decisions are subjective in many respects and thus susceptible to interpretations and periodic revisions based on actual experience and business developments, the impact of which may cause us to alter our marketing, capital expenditure or other budgets, which may in turn affect our financial position and results of operations.  For all of these reasons, the reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements contained herein, which speak only as of the date hereof.  We assume no responsibility to update any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise except as required by law.  For further information you are encouraged to review our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and the risk factors discussed therein under Part I. Item 1A.

Overview

We develop advanced polymer materials which provide critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials are used in devices that are designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.  Our business model leverages our proprietary materials science technology and manufacturing expertise in order to expand our product sales and royalty and license fee income.

Our leading edge technology, notably products such as ChronoFlex®, HydroMed™, and HydroThane™, has been developed to overcome a wide range of design and functional challenges, from the need for dimensional stability, ease of manufacturability and demanding physical properties to overcoming environmental stress cracking and providing heightened lubricity for ease of insertion.  Our polymer product lines are compliant with measures applying to the processing of certain animal waste to protect against transmissible spongiform encephalopathies as set forth in European Council Decision 1999/534/EC.  Our new product extensions allow us to customize our proprietary polymers for specific customer applications in a wide range of device categories.

- 11 -

Technology and Intellectual Property

Our unique materials science strengths are embodied in our family of proprietary polymers.  We manufacture and sell our custom polymers under the trade names ChronoFilm, ChronoFlex, ChronoThane, ChronoPrene, ChronoSil, HydroThane, and PolyBlend.  The ChronoFlex family of polymers has the potential to be marketed beyond our existing customer base.  Our goal is to fulfill the market’s need for advanced materials science capabilities, thereby enabling customers to improve devices that utilize polymers.  Our chemists continue to develop the ChronoFlex family of medical-grade polymers.  Conventional polymers are susceptible to degradation resulting in catastrophic failure of long-term implantable devices such as pacemaker leads.  ChronoFlex and ChronoThane polymers are designed to overcome such degradation and reduce the incidents of infections associated with invasive devices.

Key characteristics of our polymers are i) optional use as lubricious coatings for smooth insertion of a device into the body, ii) antimicrobial properties that are part of the polymer itself, and iii) mechanical properties, such as hardness and elasticity sufficient to meet engineering requirements.  We believe our technology has wide application in increasing biocompatibility, drug delivery, infection control and expanding the utility of complex devices in the hospital and clinical environment.

We manufacture and sell our proprietary HydroThane polymers to medical device manufacturers that are evaluating HydroThane for use in their products.  HydroThane is a thermoplastic, water-absorbing, polyurethane elastomer possessing properties which we believe make it well suited for the complex requirements of a variety of catheters.  In addition to its physical properties, we believe HydroThane exhibits an inherent degree of bacterial resistance, clot resistance and biocompatibility.  When hydrated, HydroThane has elastic properties similar to living tissue.

We also manufacture specialty hydrophilic polyurethanes that are primarily sold to customers as part of exclusive arrangements.  Specifically, one customer is supplied tailored, patented hydrophilic polyurethanes in exchange for a multi-year, royalty-bearing exclusive supply contract which generates royalty income for the Company.

ChronoFilm is a registered trademark of PolyMedica.  ChronoFlex is our registered trademark.  ChronoThane, ChronoPrene, ChronoSil, HydroThane, and PolyBlend are our tradenames.  CardioPass is our trademark.

We own or license four patents relating to our vascular graft manufacturing and polymer technology and products.  While we believe our patents secure our exclusivity with respect to certain of our technologies, there can be no assurance that any patents issued would not afford us adequate protection against competitors which sell similar inventions or devices, nor can there be any assurance that our patents will not be infringed upon or designed around by others.  However, we intend to vigorously enforce all patents issued to us.

In October 2009, we filed for a U.S. patent on ChronoSil, our silicone-urethane copolymer product, and methods for making ChronoSil.  ChronoSil can have many physical properties which are usually associated with polyurethanes, but also the feel and characteristics of silicones.

In August 2010, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued us a U.S. patent on our proprietary antimicrobial formulation for ChronoFlex.  Current technology in the marketplace uses antibiotic drugs.  The antimicrobial component of our polymers has been designed to be non-leaching as a result of the polymerization process.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our critical accounting policies are summarized in Note B to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.  However, certain of our accounting policies require the application of significant judgment by our management, and such judgments are reflected in the amounts reported in our financial statements.  In applying these policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of estimates.  Those estimates are based on our historical experience, terms of existing contracts, our observance of market trends, information provided by our strategic partners and information available from other outside sources, as appropriate.  Actual results may differ significantly from the estimates contained in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.  There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2012.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2012 vs. June 30, 2011

Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $465,000 as compared with $315,000 for the prior year period, an increase of $150,000, or 47.6%.

Product sales of our biomaterials for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $343,000 as compared with $194,000 for the prior year period, an increase of $149,000, or 76.8%.  The increase is due to the growth in sales from existing and new customers.

License, royalty and development fees for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $122,000 as compared with $121,000 for the prior year period, an increase of less than 1.0%.  We have agreements to license our proprietary biomaterial technology to medical device manufacturers and develop biomaterials for incorporation into medical devices under development by our customers.  Royalties are earned when these manufacturers sell medical devices which use our biomaterials.

In June 2011, we entered into a long-term license and consulting agreement (the “Agreements”) with a major international developer and manufacturer of medical devices.  In June 2011, we received an initial payment of $150,000 (the “Initial Payment”) upon the execution of the Agreements.  In July 2011, we received a subsequent payment of $250,000 (the “Subsequent Payment”) upon the transfer of certain technology and know-how.  The Agreements also provide for additional payments upon the achievement of certain milestones.  As of June 30, 2011, the Initial Payment of $150,000 was deferred and revenue was recognized, along with the Subsequent Payment of $250,000, during the three months ended September 30, 2011 when the requirements for recognition of revenue were achieved.  Any future payments with respect to the Agreements will also be deferred until said requirements for recognition of revenue are met.  Since the receipt of the Initial and Subsequent Payments, there have been no additional payments or the achievement of additional milestones through June 30, 2012.

Gross Profit

Gross profit on total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $284,000, or 61.1% of total revenues, compared with $116,000, or 36.8% of total revenues, for the prior year period.  The increase in gross profit dollars and gross profit as a percentage of total revenues is primarily due to the (i) positive impact of the restructuring of our manufacturing cost structure during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and first quarter of fiscal 2012, and (ii) efficiencies in our manufacturing processes.  The restructuring activities had the effect of lowering our manufacturing overhead costs.  The key strategic initiatives that led to the improvements in our manufacturing overhead included the elimination of certain production and quality control management positions considered as non-essential and the reduction of outside consultants.

Gross profit on product sales for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $162,000, or 47.2% of product sales, compared with a loss of ($5,000), or (2.6%) of product sales, for the prior year period.  The improvement in gross profit dollars and gross profit as a percentage of product sales is primarily due to the improvement in our manufacturing cost structure and efficiencies in our manufacturing processes recognized throughout the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 and continuing through the three months ended June 30, 2012.  Management believes that future growth in product sales should benefit gross profit on product sales as a result of the strategic initiatives employed to improve our manufacturing overhead costs and processes.

- 13 -

Research, Development and Regulatory Expenses

Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $131,000 as compared with $166,000 for the prior year period, a decrease of $35,000 or 21.1%.  Our research and development efforts are focused on developing new applications for our biomaterials.  Research and development expenditures consisted primarily of the salaries of full time employees and related expenses, and are expensed as incurred.  The decrease in research and development costs is primarily a result of decreased use of outside laboratory testing services required to evaluate a specific raw material that is expected to be used in connection with the manufacture of our finished polymer products.  We continue to maintain a relatively stable research and development budget, which management believes meets the needs of our customers and internal development needs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $462,000 as compared with $497,000 for the prior year period, a decrease of $35,000 or 7.0%.  The decrease is primarily due to reductions in legal and accounting fees.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

As a result of our evaluation of the recoverability of our property and equipment, we determined an impairment for a single group of production equipment existed as of June 30, 2011.  Accordingly, we recorded an impairment charge of $15,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2011.  No such impairment was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2012, we had cash of $324,000, a decrease of $160,000 when compared with a balance of $484,000 as of March 31, 2012.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had net cash outflows of $172,000 from operating activities as compared with net cash outflows of $306,000 for the prior year period.  Our uses of cash for operating activities have primarily consisted of salaries and wages for our employees; facility and facility-related costs, material and overhead costs used in production, laboratory supplies and materials, and professional fees.  The sources of our cash flow from operating activities have consisted primarily of payments received from customers on the sale of polymer products and fees earned on license, royalty and development agreements.  Net cash flows used in operating activities decreased by approximately $134,000, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to (i) increased sales and timely collection of receivables; and ii) improvements in gross profits due to the positive effect of our cost containment efforts and increased efficiencies with respect to production.

During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we had net cash inflows of $12,000 from accrued interest on financing obligations as compared to net cash outflows of $9,000 from deferred financing costs for the prior year period.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.  We have experienced negative operating margins and negative cash flows from operations and expect to continue to incur net losses in the foreseeable future.  During the three months ended June 30, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $393,000 and used cash from operating activities of $172,000.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, we incurred a net loss of $1,812,000 and used cash from operating activities of $1,752,000.  We anticipate incurring losses at least through fiscal 2013 as we continue our attempt to grow revenues, expand selling and marketing activities, expand into new sales territories, and continued research and development activities to promote new product introductions and enhancements to existing products.  As of June 30, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $36,763,000 and cash of $324,000.

The ability to attract additional capital investments in the future will depend on many factors, including the availability of credit, rate of revenue growth, the expansion of selling and marketing and research and development activities, and the timing of new product introductions and enhancements to existing products.  We believe that as of June 30, 2012 our cash position and cash flows from our fiscal 2013 operations will be sufficient to fund our working capital and research and development activities through at least the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012.  The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.  Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions to be made regarding required disclosure.  It should be noted that any system of controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met and that management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.  Based on the evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2012, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
