1. Business Description
On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which provide critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.
As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction that would likely result in a change in control. As our efforts in engaging with an operating company subsequent to the Closing Date has not yet commenced, our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to raise additional capital if we are unable to identify an operating company desiring to acquire or merge with us.
Prior to the Closing Date, our corporate, development and manufacturing operations were located in a leased facility in Wilmington, Massachusetts.
2. Going Concern
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2019, we recorded our normal business operations as discontinued operations as a result of the previously described Asset Sale. Within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, the Board of Directors is expected to declare a distribution of the net proceeds from the Asset Sale, after making adjustments for (i) collection of accounts receivable retained as of January 31, 2020, (ii) payment of accounts payable assumed as of January 31, 2020; and (iii) retention of a reasonable amount of cash for anticipated future obligations. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is seeking to identify an operating company for the purpose of effecting a merger or business combination, or to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements.
We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.
Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

3. Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements 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 financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which we consider necessary, for a fair presentation of those financial statements. The results of operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 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 our audited financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K, as of and for the year ended March 31, 2019 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
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 our unaudited condensed 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.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 3 to the audited financial statements as of March 31, 2019 which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on August 23, 2019.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current period financial statements. these reclassifications had no effect on the previously reported financial position or results of operations.
4. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or other standard setting bodies that may have an impact on our accounting and reporting. We believe that such recently issued accounting pronouncements and other authoritative guidance for which the effective date is in the future either will not have an impact on our accounting or reporting or that such impact will not be material to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows when implemented.
Recent accounting pronouncements are included in Note 3 to the financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K as of March 31, 2019.
5. Held for Sale Assets and Liabilities and Discontinued Operations
On November 25, 2019, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”), pursuant to which we agreed to sell substantially all of our assets to MCPP on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Sale”). As consideration for the Asset Sale, MCPP agreed to pay us $7,250,000. The Purchase Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby required us to receive the requisite approval from our stockholders. On January 21, 2020, we held a special meeting of stockholders at which time the stockholders authorized and approved the Purchase Agreement. On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the Asset Sale. In connection with the closing of the Asset Sale, MCPP paid us a cash payment of $7,250,000 of which approximately $1,150,000 was immediately disbursed to satisfy approximately $567,000 of transaction and legal costs; approximately $483,000 of facility related obligations; and $100,000 for agreed upon contingent facility maintenance costs.

All cash; accounts receivable; prepaid expenses; deposits on facility lease; accounts payable; and accrued expenses as of the Closing Date were retained by us. We believe the Asset Sale meets the accounting criteria for held for sale assets, accordingly, the following presents the components of held for sale assets as of December 31, 2019:

Our lease with the independent third-party owner of the land and building was assigned to MCPP at which time all of our obligations with respect to the lease agreement were relieved.
Held for Sale Liabilities
On December 22, 2011, we entered into an agreement with an independent third-party under which we sold and leased back our land and building generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000. For accounting purposes, this sale-leaseback transaction was accounted for under the financing method, rather than as a completed sale. Under the financing method, we included the sales proceeds received as a financing obligation. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the total financing obligation was $1,986,000, respectively, and accrued interest on financing obligation was approximately $155,000 and $168,000, respectively. In connection with the sale of substantially all of our assets to Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc. (“MCPP”), which was completed on January 31, 2020, our lease with the independent third-party owner of the building was assigned to MCPP. As a result, we recorded the aggregate financing obligation and accrued interest on financing obligation of approximately $2,141,000 and $2,154,000 was recorded as liabilities held for sale in our balance sheet. Subsequent to the January 31, 2020, we had no further obligations with respect to the lease agreement.

Continuing Operations

6. Related Party Transactions
On April 26, 2016, we issued a Promissory Note to Khristine Carroll, our Executive VP of Commercial Operations in the principal amount of $25,000 (the “Carroll Note”). The Carroll Note was initially due on May 25, 2016 and, per mutually agreement by the parties, extended for consecutive monthly periods subsequent to the initial term of May 25, 2016. The Carroll Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and all principal and accrued interest, if any, were due on demand. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we repaid $15,000 and $5,000 of principal on the Carroll Note. There were no repayments made on the Carroll Note during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and as of March 31, 2019 the principal balance outstanding was $15,000. The Carroll Note was fully repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2019, accordingly, there was no principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2019.
On April 26, 2016, we issued a Promissory Note to an affiliate of Michael Adams, our Chief Executive Officer (the “Affiliate”) in the principal amount of $25,000 (the “First Affiliate Note”). The First Affiliate Note was initially due on May 25, 2016 and, per mutually agreement by the parties, extended for consecutive monthly periods subsequent to the initial term of May 25, 2016. The First Affiliate Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and all principal and accrued interest, if any, were due on demand. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, there were no repayments made on the First Affiliate Note. The First Affiliate Note was repaid in full on December 5, 2019 as discussed in more detail below. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the principal balance outstanding was $0 and $25,000, respectively.
On December 5, 2016, we issued a second additional Promissory Note to the Affiliate in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “Second Affiliate Note”). The Second Affiliate Note was initially due on June 5, 2017 and, per mutually agreement by the parties, extended for consecutive monthly periods subsequent to the initial term of June 5, 2017. The Second Affiliate Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and provided for a $3,000 commitment fee, which fee was paid in February 2017. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, there were no repayments made on the Second Affiliate Note. The Second Affiliate Note was repaid in full on December 5, 2019 as discussed in more detail below. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the principal balance outstanding was $0 and $100,000, respectively.
As discussed above, the First Affiliate Note and Second Affiliate Note (collectively, the “Affiliate Notes”) were repaid on December 5, 2019. In lieu of repayment in cash, the Affiliate authorized that the principal balance due, in the aggregate amount of $125,000, be used for purposes of exercising stock options granted to Mr. Adams pursuant to our 2017 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Option Plan”). As a result, Mr. Adams was issued 2,083,333 shares of our common stock granted pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan. The aggregate purchase price upon exercise of these stock options was $125,000.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded interest expense of approximately $0 and $1,000, respectively, on the Carroll Note. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded interest expense of approximately $1,000 and $2,000, respectively, on the Carroll Note.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded interest expense of approximately $10,000 and $10,000, respectively, on the Affiliate Notes.
7. Income Per Share
Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per common share are based upon the weighted-average common 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 that would result from the assumed conversion of potential shares. Potentially dilutive shares, which were excluded from the diluted income per share calculations because the effect would be antidilutive or the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares, were 410,000 shares and 410,000 shares for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019. Potentially dilutive shares, which were included in the diluted income per share calculations for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018 were 1,220,008 shares and 1,137,025 shares.

8. Income Taxes
We are required to file federal and state income tax returns in the United States. The preparation of these tax returns requires us to interpret the applicable tax laws and regulations in effect in such jurisdictions, which could affect the amount of tax paid by us. In consultation with our tax advisors, we base our tax returns on interpretations that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. The tax returns, however, are subject to routine reviews by the various federal and state taxing authorities in the jurisdictions in which we file tax returns. As part of these reviews, a taxing authority may disagree with respect to the income tax positions taken by us (“uncertain tax positions”) and, therefore, may require us to pay additional taxes. As required under applicable accounting rules, we accrue an amount for our estimate of additional income tax liability, including interest and penalties, which we could incur as a result of the ultimate or effective resolution of the uncertain tax positions. We account for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributed to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences and carry-forwards are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to amounts expected to be realized.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
We had no income tax credits for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2019 was 21.0%. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing but have kept the full valuation allowance.
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was signed into law making significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code. Changes include, but are not limited to, a federal corporate tax rate decrease from 35% to 21% for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the transition of U.S international taxation from a worldwide tax system to a territorial system, and a one-time transition tax on the mandatory deemed repatriation of foreign earnings. We have estimated our provision for income taxes in accordance with the Tax Act and guidance available as of the date of this filing but have kept the full valuation allowance.
9. Promissory Notes
On April 26, 2016, we issued a Promissory Note to Khristine Carroll, our Executive VP of Commercial Operations in the principal amount of $25,000 (the “Carroll Note”). The Carroll Note was initially due on May 25, 2016 and, per mutually agreement by the parties, extended for consecutive monthly periods subsequent to the initial term of May 25, 2016. The Carroll Note bears interest at the rate of 10% per annum and all principal and accrued interest, if any, were due on demand. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we repaid $15,000 and $5,000 of principal on the Carroll Note. There were no repayments made on the Carroll Note during the three months ended December 31, 2018 and as of March 31, 2019 the principal balance outstanding was $15,000. The Carroll Note was fully repaid during the three months ended June 30, 2019, accordingly, there was no principal balance outstanding as of December 31, 2019.

On December 5, 2016, we issued a second additional Promissory Note to the Affiliate in the principal amount of $100,000 (the “Second Affiliate Note”). The Second Affiliate Note was initially due on June 5, 2017 and, per mutually agreement by the parties, extended for consecutive monthly periods subsequent to the initial term of June 5, 2017. The Second Affiliate Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, and provided for a $3,000 commitment fee, which fee was paid in February 2017. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2018, there were no repayments made on the Second Affiliate Note. The Second Affiliate Note was repaid in full on December 5, 2019 as discussed in more detail below. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the principal balance outstanding was $0 and $100,000, respectively.
As discussed above, the First Affiliate Note and Second Affiliate Note (collectively, the “Affiliate Notes”) were repaid on December 5, 2019. In lieu of repayment in cash, the Affiliate authorized that the principal balance due, in the aggregate amount of $125,000, be used for purposes of exercising stock options granted to Mr. Adams pursuant to our 2017 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Option Plan”). As a result, Mr. Adams was issued 2,083,333 shares of our common stock granted pursuant to the 2017 Option Plan. The aggregate purchase price upon exercise of these stock options was $125,000.
During the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded interest expense of approximately $0 and $1,000, respectively, on the Carroll Note. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded interest expense of approximately $1,000 and $2,000, respectively, on the Carroll Note.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded interest expense of approximately $10,000 and $10,000, respectively, on the Affiliate Notes.
10. Long-Term Financing Obligation
On December 22, 2011, we entered into an agreement with an independent third-party under which we sold and leased back our land and building generating gross proceeds of $2,000,000. Pursuant to a lease agreement, the initial minimum lease term is 15 years. At the end of the initial minimum lease term, we have the option to renew the lease for three periods of five years each. In addition, we provided, as collateral, a security interest in all furnishings, fixtures and equipment owned and used by us, having a net book value of approximately $0 as of December 31, 2019. For accounting purposes, the provision of such collateral constitutes continuing involvement with the associated property. Due to this continuing involvement, this sale-leaseback transaction is accounted for under the financing method, rather than as a completed sale. Under the financing method, we include the sales proceeds received as a financing obligation. As of December 31, 2019 and March 31, 2019, the total financing obligation was $1,986,000, respectively, and accrued interest on financing obligation was approximately $155,000 and $168,000, respectively. Through December 2018, interest on the financing obligation exceeded the minimum lease payments, accordingly the principal remains constant through that date. After December 2018, the minimum lease payment will exceed interest and principal will be reduced by the excess of minimum lease payment over interest. The building, building improvements and land remain on the condensed balance sheet and the building and building improvements will continue to be depreciated over their remaining useful lives. Payments made under the lease are applied as payments of imputed interest and deemed principal on the underlying financing obligation.
In connection with the sale of substantially all of our assets to Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc. (“MCPP”), which was completed on January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), our lease with the independent third-party owner of the building was assigned to MCPP. As a result, subsequent to the Closing Date, we have no further obligations with respect to the lease agreement.

11. Stockholders’ Deficit
Common Stock Warrants
On July 22, 2015, we engaged the services of a financial and strategic advisor (the “Advisor”) whose services include, but are not limited to, financial advice, strategic advice and investment banking services. In connection with this engagement, we agreed to compensate the Advisor approximately $4,000 per quarter for a one-year period and we issued them a warrant to purchase 830,500 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.03 per share, the approximate fair value of our common stock on the date of the engagement. The warrant is exercisable at any time until July 21, 2025. The warrant was valued at approximately $28,000 using the Black-Scholes model and treated as permanent equity.
On November 27, 2019, the Advisor exercised the warrant to purchase 830,500 shares of our common stock in consideration of approximately $25,000 in cash.
Common Stock Options
On December 5, 2019, our directors and certain employees exercised options to purchase 656,250 shares of our common stock pursuant to grants made under the 2003 Stock Option Plan. In consideration for the exercise of these options we received approximately $40,000 in cash.
On August 17, 2017, Michael Adams, our chief executive officer, was granted an option to purchase 2,500,000 shares of our common stock (the “Adams Option”) at an exercise price of $0.06 per share pursuant to the 2017 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). On December 5, 2019, Mr. Adams effected a partial exercise of the Adams Option and purchased 2,083,333 shares of our common stock. As consideration for the exercise of a portion of the Adams Option, an affiliate of Mr. Adams authorized that the principal balance due on the Affiliate Notes, previously described in Notes 6 and 11, in the aggregate amount of $125,000, be used for purposes of exercising this portion of the Adams Option. Additionally, on December 5, 2019, Mr. Adams exercised the remaining 416,667 shares exercisable pursuant to the Adams Option, by means of a cashless exercise. As a result of the cashless exercise, Mr. Adams was issued 291,667 shares of our common stock. We received no cash proceeds in connection with this cashless exercise.
On various dates from August 17, 2017 through December 13, 2018, our directors, certain employees and one consultant (the “Grantees”) were granted options to purchase 4,050,000 shares of our common stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.04 per share to $0.06 per share pursuant to the 2017 Plan. On December 5, 2019, the Grantees exercised their options to purchase 4,050,000 shares of our common stock, by means of a cashless exercise. As a result of the cashless exercise, the Grantees were issued 2,910,000 shares of our common stock. We received no cash proceeds in connection with this cashless exercise.
12. Stock-Based Compensation
In October 2003, our shareholders approved the AdvanSource 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”), which authorizes the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of common stock. Under the terms of the Plan, the exercise price of Incentive Stock Options issued under the 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 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). Total shares of common stock registered under the 2003 Plan are 7,000,000 shares. Normally, options granted expire ten years from the grant date.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
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, 2019 and the risk factors discussed therein under Part I. Item 1A.
Business
On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which provide critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.
As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction that would likely result in a change in control. As our efforts in engaging with an operating company subsequent to the Closing Date has not yet commenced, our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to raise additional capital if we are unable to identify an operating company desiring to acquire or merge with us.
Management is seeking to identify an operating company and engage in a merger or business combination of some kind, or acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements.
We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.

Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are summarized in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019. 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 financial statements. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019.
Results of Operations
As a result of the Asset Sale described above, which closed on January 31, 2020, our sole business operations of developing, manufacturing, marketing and selling of advanced polymers ceased. Accordingly, we have recorded all operations for the three- and nine-month period ended December 31, 2019 as discontinued operations. The following separately presents our results of continuing operations, which are composed of costs necessary to operate as a public company; and results of our discontinued operations, composed revenue and costs of operating the advanced polymer business.
Results of Continuing Operations
Our loss from continuing operations represents those costs necessary to operate a public company. During the three months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, these costs were approximately $65,000 and $54,000, respectively, an increase of $11,000 or 20.3%. During the nine months ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, these costs were approximately $185,000 and $152,000, respectively, an increase of $33,000 or 21.7%. These costs were composed of accounting fees, professional fees, regulatory fees, board of directors fees, and director and officer liability insurance premiums.

The decrease is due to reductions in product shipments to certain key customers.
License and royalty fees from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019 were approximately $351,000 as compared with approximately $281,000 for the prior year period, an increase of approximately $70,000 or 24.9%. License and royalty fees increased primarily as a result of minimum royalties earned at calendar year-end pursuant to an arrangement with one of two customers with whom we have royalty arrangements.
Gross Profit
Gross profit on total revenues from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $614,000, or 76.0% of total revenues, compared with approximately $630,000, or 70.9% of total revenues, for the prior year period. Gross profit dollars for the three months ended December 31, 2019 decreased as compared to the prior year period as a result of decreased product sales. Gross profit as a percentage of total revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the prior year period increased primarily due to increased fees from royalties.
18 |
Gross profit on product sales from discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $263,000, or 57.6% of product sales, compared with approximately $349,000, or 57.4% of product sales, for the prior year period. Although gross profit as a percentage of product sales remained fairly stable for the three months ended December 31, 2019, gross profit dollars decreased primarily due to decreased product sales in the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the comparable prior year period.
Research, Development and Regulatory Expenses
Research and development expenses of discontinued operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019 were approximately $103,000 as compared with approximately $77,000 for the prior year period, an increase of approximately $26,000, or 33.8%.

The decrease is primarily a result of recording the affect of the gain on the disposition of sale-leaseback assets in the prior year period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense of continuing operations for the three months ended December 31, 2019 was approximately $136,000 as compared to approximately $94,000 for the comparable prior year period, an increase of $42,000 or 44.7%.

The slight increase is due to greater product shipments to certain key customers during the two fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2019 which offset the reduced product shipments during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2019.
License and royalty fees from discontinued operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 were approximately $803,000 as compared with approximately $708,000 for the prior year period, an increase of approximately $95,000 or 13.4%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2019, we had cash of approximately $447,000 as compared to a cash balance of approximately $172,000 as of March 31, 2019.
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we had net cash of approximately $225,000 provided by operating activities as compared with net cash of approximately $22,000 used in operating activities for the prior year period. Our cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations in the approximate amount of $118,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 consisted primarily of (i) collections of accounts receivable-trade of approximately $270,000; (ii) increases in aggregate accounts payable and accrued expenses of approximately $134,000; and (iii) increase in customer advances of approximately $167,000 of which approximately $191,000 represented and advance from one customer for future shipments. These cash flows provided by operating activities of continuing operations were primarily offset by (i) our loss from continuing operations of $185,000; (ii) increases of accounts receivables on royalty arrangements of approximately $100,000; and (iii) increases of prepaid expenses for professional fees related to the sale of asset transaction. Our cash flows used in operating activities of continuing operations in the approximate amount of $317,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 consisted primarily of (i) our loss from continuing operations of approximately $152,000; (ii) increases in accounts receivable-trade of approximately $234,000; and (iii) decreases in aggregate accounts payable, accrued expenses and customer advances of approximately $77,000.

Our cash flows provided by operating activities of discontinued operations in the approximate amount of $107,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 consisted primarily of income from discontinued operations of approximately $129,000 offset by the additional net gain on disposition of sale-leaseback asset and extinguishment of long-term financing obligation of approximately $34,000. Our cash flows provided by operating activities of discontinued operations in the approximate amount of $295,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2018 consisted primarily of income from discontinued operations of approximately $602,000 offset by the net gain on disposition of sale-leaseback asset and extinguishment of long-term financing obligation of approximately $382,000.
20 |
During the nine months ended December 31, 2019, we provided cash of $50,000 for financing activities. We issued 830,500 shares and 656,250 shares of our common stock pursuant to the exercise of common stock purchase warrants and incentive stock options, respectively, which were purchased for cash in the approximate aggregate amount of $65,000. We also repaid two notes payable to an affiliate of our chief executive officer, in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000. In lieu of a cash payment for the repayment of these notes, the affiliate allowed our chief executive officer to exercise a portion of his non-qualified stock options to purchase 2,083,333 shares of our common stock. We issued an additional 3,201,667 shares of our common stock pursuant to the cashless exercise of non-qualified stock options granted to our directors, employees and a consultant.
On January 31, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), we completed the sale of substantially all of our assets (the “Asset Sale”) for a total purchase price of $7,250,000 pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement entered into between us and Mitsubishi Chemical Performance Polymers, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MCPP”). Prior to the Closing Date, we developed and manufactured advanced polymer materials which provide critical characteristics in the design and development of medical devices. Our biomaterials were marketed and sold to medical device manufacturers who used our advanced polymers in devices designed for treating a broad range of anatomical sites and disease states.
As a result of the Asset Sale, we ceased operating as a developer, manufacturer, marketer and seller of advanced polymers. Subsequent to the Closing Date, we became engaged in efforts to identify an operating company to acquire or merge with through an equity-based exchange transaction that would likely result in a change in control. As our efforts in engaging with an operating company subsequent to the Closing Date has not yet commenced, our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including the need to raise additional capital if we are unable to identify an operating company desiring to acquire or merge with us.
Our financial statements have been presented on the basis that we are a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. At December 31, 2019, we recorded our normal business operations as discontinued operations as a result of the previously described Asset Sale. On the Closing Date we received net proceeds from the Asset Sale of approximately $6,100,000. Within ninety (90) days of the Closing Date, the Board of Directors is expected to declare a distribution of the net proceeds from the Asset Sale, after making adjustments for (i) collection of accounts receivable retained as of January 31, 2020, (ii) payment of accounts payable assumed as of January 31, 2020; and (iii) retention of a reasonable amount of cash for anticipated future obligations. As a result, we expect our funds will not be sufficient to meet our needs for more than twelve months from the date of issuance of these financial statements. Accordingly, management believes there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Management is seeking to identify an operating company for the purpose of effecting a merger or business combination, or to acquire assets or shares of an entity actively engaged in a business that generates sustained revenues. Although we have investigated certain opportunities to determine whether they would have the potential to add value to us for the benefit of our stockholders, we have not yet entered into any binding arrangements.
We do not intend to restrict our consideration to any particular business or industry segment. Because we have limited resources, the scope and number of suitable candidates to merge with is relatively limited. Because we may participate in a business opportunity with a newly formed firm, a firm that is in the development stage, or a firm that is entering a new phase of growth, we may incur further risk due to the inability of the target’s management to have proven its abilities or effectiveness, or the lack of an established market for the target’s products or services, or the inability to reach profitability in the next few years.
Any business combination or transaction will likely result in a significant issuance of shares and substantial dilution to our present stockholders. As it is expected that the closing of such a transaction will result in a change in control, such transaction is expected to be accounted for as a reverse merger, with the operating company being considered the legal acquiree and accounting acquirer, and we would be considered the legal acquirer and the accounting acquiree. As a result, at and subsequent to closing of any such transaction, the financial statements of the operating company would become our financial statements for all periods presented.

Commitments
We do not have any long-term commitments at December 31, 2019.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
The certificates of our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer attached as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include, in paragraph 4 of such certifications, information concerning our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over financial reporting. Such certifications should be read in conjunction with the information contained in this Item 4 for a more complete understanding of the matters covered by such certifications.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our chief executive officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019. 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 us in the 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. 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 this evaluation, our chief executive officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2019 were not effective at the reasonable assurance level due to limited resources in the finance and accounting functions. We intend to take appropriate and reasonable steps to make improvements to remediate these deficiencies.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
22 |
We are not the subject of any pending legal proceedings; and to the knowledge of management, no proceedings are presently contemplated against us by any federal, state or local governmental agency. Further, to the knowledge of management, no director or executive officer is party to any action in which any has an interest adverse to us.
Not applicable.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On December 5, 2019, we issued to our directors and certain employees a total of 656,250 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of incentive and non-qualified stock options granted pursuant to the terms of our 2003 Stock Option Plan.
On December 5, 2019, we issued to our directors, certain employees and one consultant a total of 5,285,000 shares of our common stock upon the exercise of non-qualified stock options granted pursuant to the terms of our 2017 Non-Qualified Equity Incentive Plan.
