SCIENTIFIC, INC.
NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For
the Six Months Ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (Unaudited)
Note
1 — Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of
Presentation
(a)
Organization
Derycz
Scientific, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 2, 2006. On
November 2, 2006, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with
Reprints Desk, Inc., a Delaware corporation formed on January 6, 2006. Derycz
was formed to facilitate a holding company structure. At the closing of the
transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired
all of the 550,000 outstanding shares of Reprints from the shareholders of
Reprints and issued 8,000,003 of its common shares to the shareholders of
Reprints. As the intention behind forming Derycz was the creation of a holding
company structure and Derycz had no appreciable assets prior to the acquisition
of Reprints, the exchange ratio was determined arbitrarily and was not based on
any determination of the value of shares of Derycz common stock as compared to
Reprints shares acquired. As each former Reprints shareholder acquired a
percentage interest in Derycz equal to the percentage interest such shareholder
held in Reprints immediately prior to the transaction, there was no dilution of
the interest of any former Reprints shareholder. Following completion of the
exchange transaction, Reprints became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The transaction was accounted as a statutory merger of companies under common
control. As such, the historical financial statements of the Company are
combined with the operations of Reprints since its inception, and the merger
shares are accounted for as a stock split as of the inception of Reprints for
financial reporting purposes.
(b)
Nature of business
Reprints
is a content repurposing and rights management company with a focus on content
re-use services and products. The Company operates within the periodicals
publishing industry, which is a large and growing market. The Company has
developed products in the following areas:
•
|
Reprints, ePrints and Article
Distribution Systems
|
•
|
Commercial Printing
Services
|
•
|
Publisher Outsourced Reprint
Management
|
•
|
Print-on-Demand Services for
copyright and regulatory sensitive
documents
|
(c) Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying interim financial statements for the three and six months ended
December 31, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited, but in the opinion of management,
contain all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments necessary to
present fairly the financial position at December 31, 2009 and the results of
operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the
cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The results of
operations for the three and six months ended December 31, 2009 are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full
fiscal year ending June 30, 2010. The financial statements presented herein
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in the
Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009 filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The
accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of
the Company and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries. The consolidated
accounts include 100% of assets and liabilities of our majority owned
subsidiary, and the ownership interests of minority investors are recorded as
a noncontrolling interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
Note
2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(a)
Change in Accounting Principle
On
January 1, 2009, the Company adopted authoritative guidance issued by the
Financial Accounting Standards (FASB) on noncontrolling interest in consolidated
financial statements. This guidance establishes accounting and reporting
standards for a noncontrolling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the
deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This statement clarifies that a noncontrolling
interest in a subsidiary is an ownership in the consolidated entity that should
be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of
this did not have any material impact on the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations. However, it did impact the presentation and disclosure of
noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company’s condensed consolidated
financial statements. The presentation and disclosure requirements were
retrospectively applied to the condensed consolidated financial
statements. As such, all prior periods presented have been conformed to
current year’s presentation. The noncontrolling (minority) interest
relates to third party shareholders of Pools Press, Inc., who own 20% of Pools
Press as of December 31, 2009.
7
(b) Use
of estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during
the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
(c) Fair
value of financial instruments
The
carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivables,
accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of their
short maturity. The carrying amounts of capital lease obligations approximate
fair value because the related effective interest rates on these instruments
approximate the rates currently available to the Company.
(d)
Concentration of credit risk
Financial
instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit
risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivables. The Company
places its cash with high quality financial institutions and at times may exceed
the FDIC $250,000 insurance limit. The Company does not anticipate incurring any
losses related to these credit risks. The Company extends credit based on an
evaluation of the customer's financial condition, generally without collateral.
Exposure to losses on receivables is principally dependent on each customer's
financial condition. The Company monitors its exposure for credit losses and
intends to maintain allowances for anticipated losses, as required.
One
customer accounted for 35% of the revenues for the three months ended December
31, 2009, and one customer accounted for 24% of the revenue for the six months
ended December 31, 2009. Two customers accounted for 18% and 24% of the
revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2008, and one customer
accounted for 18% of the revenue for the six months ended December 31,
2008.
As of
June 30, 2009, two customers accounted for 15% and 14% of accounts receivable,
and one customer accounted for 43% of accounts receivable at December 31,
2009.
(e)
Shipping and handling costs
The
Company includes shipping and handling charges billed to its customers in its
revenues, and classifies shipping and handling costs of the sale of its products
as a component of cost of sales. Those costs were approximately $74,160 and
$31,331, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and
$101,828 and $61,800, respectively, for the six months ended December 31, 2009
and 2008.
(f) Net
Income (Loss) per share
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board requires presentation of basic earnings per
share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted earnings per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic
net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the
weighted average number of common shares available to the common stockholders.
Weighted average number of shares outstanding reflects the equivalent number of
shares received as a result of the exchange transaction as if these shares had
been outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest period presented. Diluted
earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, using the treasury stock
method, that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock
were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of
common stock that then shared in the earnings of the Company. In computing
diluted earnings per share, the treasury stock method assumes that outstanding
options and warrants are exercised and the proceeds are used to purchase common
stock at the average market price during the period. Options and
warrants will have a dilutive effect under the treasury stock method only when
the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the
exercise price of the options and warrants.
Warrants
to purchase 2,855,009 and 2,800,009 shares of common stock and options to
purchase 1,022,000 shares of common stock have been excluded from the
calculation of diluted net loss per share for the six months ended December 31,
2009 as the effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the
period.
Warrants
to purchase 2,855,009 shares of common stock and options to purchase 1,022,000
shares of common stock at various prices exceeding $0.07 per
share were outstanding during the three months ended December 31, 2009 but were
not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share for that period
because the respective warrant and option exercise prices were greater than the
average market price of the shares of common stock during those periods and
their effect would be anti-dilutive.
Warrants
to purchase 2,800,009 shares of common stock and options to purchase 530,000
shares of common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net
loss per share for the three and six months ended December 31, 2008 as the
effect would have been anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the
period.
(g)
Marketing and Advertising expenses
Marketing
and advertising expenses are expensed as incurred and consist primarily of
various forms of media purchased from Internet-based marketers and search
engines as well as the costs associated with our participation in trade shows
and other advertising expenditures. Marketing and advertising expense amounted
to $25,113 and $24,425 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively, and $63,566 and $38,588 for the six months ended December 31, 2009
and 2008.
(h)
Recently issued accounting pronouncements
In June
2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting standards
codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles.” The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification* (“Codification”) has become the source
of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded
by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the
Codification will not be authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases
of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under the authority of
federal securities laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for
SEC registrants. The FASB authoritative guidance is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, beginning
with our quarter ending September 30, 2009, all references made by it to GAAP in
its consolidated financial statements now use the new Codification numbering
system. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore,
it does not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.

In
October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that
will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier
adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include
software elements, tangible products that have software components that are
essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within
the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled
products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition
guidance. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a
material impact on our financial statements.
In May
2009, the FASB issued new requirements for reporting subsequent events. These
requirements set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may
occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. Disclosure of the date through which an
entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date is also
required.
The
Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements
will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.

6 — Stockholders’ Equity
Stock
Options
On
December 21, 2007, the Company established the 2007 Equity Compensation Plan
(the “Plan”). The Plan was approved by our Board of Directors and security
holders holding a majority of the shares of our common stock outstanding. The
total amount of shares subject to the Plan is 1,500,000 shares. On December 21,
2007, we granted options to purchase 530,000 shares of common stock at $1.50 per
share to eight employees and one consultant, which expire on December 21, 2017.
The options were valued at $112,000 using a Black-Scholes valuation model and
will be amortized over the vesting period. The exercise price for the
options was $1.50 per share and was based on the fair value of the shares on the
date of issuance. For the Black-Scholes calculation, the Company assumed no
dividend yield, a risk free interest rate of 4.18%, expected volatility of 25 %
and an expected term for the options of 7 years.
On May
28, 2009, we granted options to purchase 492,000 shares of common stock at $1.00
per share to nine employees, which expire on May 28, 2019. The options were
valued at $148,327 using a Black-Scholes valuation model and were expensed on
the grant date as the options all vested immediately. The exercise price for the
options was $1.00 per share and was based on the fair value of the shares on the
date of issuance. For the Black-Scholes calculation, the Company assumed no
dividend yield, a risk free interest rate of 3.67 %, expected volatility of 83 %
and an expected term for the options of 10 years.

income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the

the amounts used for income tax purposes.
The
Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets at
December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 to reduce such asset to zero since there is
no assurance that the Company will generate future taxable income to utilize
such asset. Management will review this valuation allowance requirement
periodically and make adjustments as warranted.
At
December 31, 2009 the Company had federal net operating loss (“NOL”)
carryforwards of approximately $1,349,000 and state NOL carryforwards of
approximately $792,000. Federal NOLs could, if unused, expire in 2029. State
NOLs, if unused, could expire in 2019.
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB guidelines that address the
determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax
return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, we
may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more
likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the
taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax
benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be
measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent
likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. This guidance also
provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on
income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures.
At the date of adoption, and as of December 31, 2009, the Company did not have a
liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and no adjustment was required at
adoption.
The
Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax provisions
as income tax expense. As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company has no
accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. Additionally,
tax years 2006 through 2009 remain open to examination by the major taxing
jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

Overview
Derycz
Scientific, Inc. (the “Company” or “Derycz”) was incorporated in the State of
Nevada on November 2, 2006. In November 2006 the Company entered into a Share
Exchange Agreement with Reprints Desk, Inc. (“Reprints”). At the closing of the
transaction contemplated by the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company acquired
all of the outstanding shares of Reprints from the shareholders of Reprints and
issued 8,000,003 of its common shares to the shareholders. Following completion
of the exchange transaction, Reprints became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company.
On
February 28, 2007, the Company entered into an agreement with Pools Press, Inc.
(“Pools”) of Northbrook, Illinois, a privately held company, pursuant to which
the Company acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pools for
consideration of $616,080. Pools is a commercial printer, specializing in
reprints of copyrighted articles. The results of Pools Press’ operations have
been included in the consolidated financial statements since March 1,
2007.
Derycz,
through Reprints and Pools, provides order workflow software systems and
reproductions of published content, such as articles from published journals, in
either electronic or hard copy form. Our customers use this content for
marketing, regulatory or research purposes. Generally, marketing
departments order large quantities of printed copies that they distribute to
their customers. Regulatory departments generally use content to help satisfy
regulatory requirements for intellectual property and government filings.
Researchers generally order single copies of the content. Our systems, products
and services streamline workflow processes and alleviate the need for our
customers to contact any publisher or obtain permissions themselves. We also
offer reprints and eprint services to publishers, whereby we are responsible for
all aspects of reprint production, from taking orders to final shipment. This
service eliminates the need for the publishers to establish a dedicated reprints
sales force or arrange for delivery of reproduced materials. Pools Press also
offers other commercial printing products, such as the production of business
cards, and newsletters.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are
based upon our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, which
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities. When making these estimates and assumptions, we consider
our historical experience, our knowledge of economic and market factors and
various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances.
Actual results may differ under different estimates and
assumptions.
The
accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we
consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements
because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties.
(a)
Revenue recognition
The
Company's primary source of revenue is from information and printing
services. The Company recognizes revenue when the sales process is deemed
complete and associated revenue has been earned. The Company's policy is
to recognize revenue when services have been performed, risk of loss and title
to the product transfers to the customer, the selling price is fixed and
determinable and collectability is reasonably assured.
The
Company recognizes revenues from printing services when services have been
rendered and accepted by the customer while revenues from the re-use of
published articles and rights management services are recognized upon shipment
or electronic delivery to the customer.
13
(b) Stock
based compensation
The
Company adopted FASB guidelines that require that the cost resulting from all
share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. This
guidance establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for
share-based payment arrangements and requires all entities to apply a fair-value
based measurement method in accounting for share-based payment transactions with
employees except for equity instruments held by employee share ownership plans.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of
the current guidelines of the FASB, using the modified prospective method. Under
this method, the provisions of such guidance apply to all awards granted or
modified after the date of adoption and all previously granted awards not yet
vested as of the date of adoption.
Determining
the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based
payment awards require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the
expected life of the stock-based payment awards and stock price volatility. We
use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to value compensation expense. The
assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based payment awards
represent management’s best estimates, but the estimates involve inherent
uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if
factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation
expense could be materially different in the future.
(c)
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As
required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, management performs
impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets whenever an
event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairment has more likely
than not occurred. Also, management performs impairment testing of goodwill and
indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually.
In
accordance with guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board, the
Company reviews intangible assets subject to amortization at least annually to
determine if any adverse conditions exist or a change in circumstances has
occurred that would indicate impairment or a change in the remaining useful
life. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds its undiscounted cash
flows, the Company writes down the carrying value of the intangible asset to its
fair value in the period identified. If the carrying value of assets is
determined not to be recoverable, the Company records an impairment loss equal
to the excess of the carrying value over the fair value of the assets. The
Company’s estimate of fair value is based on the best information available, in
the absence of quoted market prices. The Company generally calculates fair
value as the present value of estimated future cash flows that the Company
expects to generate from the asset using a discounted cash flow income approach
as described above. If the estimate of an intangible asset’s remaining
useful life is changed, the Company amortizes the remaining carrying value of
the intangible asset prospectively over the revised remaining useful
life.
In June
2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on accounting standards
codification and the hierarchy of generally accepted accounting principles.” The
FASB Accounting Standards Codification* (“Codification”) has become the source
of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with GAAP. All existing accounting standard documents are superseded
by the Codification and any accounting literature not included in the
Codification will not be authoritative. However, rules and interpretive releases
of the Securities Exchange Commission (“SEC”) issued under the authority of
federal securities laws will continue to be sources of authoritative GAAP for
SEC registrants. The FASB authoritative guidance is effective for interim and
annual reporting periods ending after September 15, 2009. Therefore, beginning
with our quarter ending September 30, 2009, all references made by it to GAAP in
its consolidated financial statements now use the new Codification numbering
system. The Codification does not change or alter existing GAAP and, therefore,
it does not have an impact on our financial position, results of operations and
cash flows.
In
October 2009, the FASB issued authoritative guidance on revenue recognition that
will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2010, with earlier
adoption permitted. Under the new guidance on arrangements that include
software elements, tangible products that have software components that are
essential to the functionality of the tangible product will no longer be within
the scope of the software revenue recognition guidance, and software-enabled
products will now be subject to other relevant revenue recognition
guidance. We believe adoption of this new guidance will not have a
material impact on our financial statements.
14
In May
2009, the FASB issued new requirements for reporting subsequent events. These
requirements set forth the period after the balance sheet date during which
management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may
occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, the
circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions
occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and
disclosures that an entity should make about events or transactions that
occurred after the balance sheet date. Disclosure of the date through which an
entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date is also
required.
The
Company does not believe that the adoption of the above recent pronouncements
will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.
Results
of Operations
Three
Months Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31,
2008:
Sales
and Cost of Goods Sold
Our
revenues more than doubled compared to the same period in 2008. We achieved
revenue of $7,590,459 for the three months ended December 31, 2009, compared to
revenue of $3,426,953 for the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase
of 121%.
The
revenue of our main operating company, Reprints, increased from $3,112,603 for
the three months ended December 31, 2008 to $6,576,926 for the three months
ended December 31, 2009, an increase of 111%. This was a result of several large
reprint orders in December. Pools Press contributed the remainder of the
revenue. The quarter ended December 31, 2009 was unusual and we do not expect
revenue growth to continue at that rate. However, we do expect to continue
to experience significant growth over the 2009 fiscal year.
Our cost
of goods sold likewise increased from $2,671,290 for the three months ended
December 31, 2008 to $6,236,464 for the three months ended December 31, 2009,
which represents an increase of 133%. This percentage increase is roughly
equivalent to the increase in our revenues and was likewise the result of
several large reprint orders. However, the overall gross margin percentage
decreased from 22% of sales in the 2008 period to 18% in the 2009 period.
At Reprints, we only purchase articles when they have been requested by our
clients. We generally charge a margin over the actual cost to us. While we make
efforts to obtain discounts, the publishers set the prices for each order.
However, as the amount of our purchases from individual publishers increases we
expect we may be better able to obtain discounts. For the next year,
we expect that our cost of goods sold will keep pace with our revenue
growth.
Operating
Expenses
General
and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses increased 30% from $810,441 for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 to $1,052,645 for the three months ended December
31, 2009. Pools’ share of these expenses was approximately $52,000 for both
periods. These expenses include Reprints’ salary costs, which were $447,539 in
the 2008 period and $699,884 in the 2009 period, an increase of $252,345 or 56%.
Both our sales and marketing team and our information technology team have
increased during the past year and we have added other additional employees as
needed. We continue to attempt to contain the expansion of our workforce.
However, because of the expansion of our sales volume and in order to continue
to develop our computer system, we expect to add a small number of new employees
in the next year.
Marketing
and Advertising
Our
marketing and advertising expenses increased slightly from $24,425 for the three
months ended December 31, 2008 to $25,113 for the three months ended December
31, 2009. These costs have become a more significant expense for us as a result
of increased participation in publishing industry trade shows and other
advertising and marketing efforts.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Our
depreciation and amortization expense decreased approximately 27% from $66,826
for three months ended December 31, 2008 to $48,921 for the three months ended
December 31, 2009. Pools’ share of these expenses in the 2008 period included
$13,750 related to the amortization of Pools’ customer list, which was fully
amortized during the fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. Reprints’ depreciation
and amortization expense of $52,874 for the 2008 period and $48,719 for the 2009
period was primarily attributable to amortization on software and intellectual
property licenses as well as amortization of customer lists.
Loss
on marketable securities
We
recognized unrealized losses on our short-term investments of $9,015 and $0
during the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
These investments consisted of corporate and municipal debt and preferred stock
auction rate securities held in an account with UBS Financial Services, Inc.,
and the losses were based on valuations by UBS. In January 2009 we
received cash for the par value of the outstanding auction rate
securities.
15
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $15,860 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and $1,604 for
the three months ended December 31, 2009. The 2008 interest expense was
primarily attributable to the interest paid on a credit line with UBS that was
secured by marketable securities. This credit line was cancelled in
January 2009 when we liquidated our position in the marketable
securities.
Interest
Income
Interest
income was $12,302 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and $758 for the
three months ended December 31, 2009. The interest earned during the 2008
period was primarily attributable to the interest earned on investments in
marketable securities.
Net
Income (Loss)
We
recorded net income of $234,734 for the three months ended December 31, 2009
compared to a net loss of $132,177 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.
This is the first quarter we have achieved significant profitability. This
result is attributable to strong sales at Reprints during the 2009 period.
While we do not expect this level of sales to continue during the remainder of
the 2010 fiscal year, we hope to continue to be modestly
profitable.
Six
Months Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31,
2008:
Sales
and Cost of Goods Sold
Our
revenues increased significantly from the same period in 2008. We achieved
revenue of $12,374,158 for the six months ended December 31, 2009, compared to
revenue of $6,629,679 for the six months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of
87%.
The
revenue of our main operating company, Reprints, increased from $5,882,002 for
the six months ended December 31, 2008 to $10,602,593 for the six months ended
December 31, 2009, an increase of 80%. This is primarily a result of several
large reprint orders in December 2009. Pools Press contributed the
remainder of the revenue. We expect to continue with significant revenue growth
this year as we continue to aggressively market our products and
services.
Our cost
of goods sold likewise increased from $5,228,119 for the six months ended
December 31, 2008 to $10,122,242 for the six months ended December 31, 2009,
which represents an increase of 94%. This percentage increase is roughly
equivalent to the increase in our revenues and is a result of the large reprint
orders from December 2009. However, the overall gross margin percentage
decreased from 21% of sales in the 2008 period to 18% in the 2009 period.
This reduction is a result of a large increase in our reprint sales, which are
generally lower margin than our document delivery services.
Operating
Expenses
General
and Administrative
Our
general and administrative expenses increased 38% from $1,583,113 for the six
months ended December 31, 2008 to $2,179,695 for the six months ended December
31, 2009. Pools’ share of these expenses was approximately $114,000 for both
periods. These expenses include Reprints’ salary costs, which were $853,434 in
the 2008 period and $1,315,320 in the 2009 period, an increase of $461,886 or
54%. These costs have increased at a slower rate than our revenues as we
have tried to limit our hiring of new employees and to contain other
costs.
Marketing
and Advertising
Our
marketing and advertising expenses increased 64% from $38,588 for the six months
ended December 31, 2008 to $63,566 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
These costs have become a more significant expense for us as a result of
increased participation in publishing industry trade shows and other advertising
and marketing efforts and we expect these costs to continue to increase over the
next year.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Our
depreciation and amortization expense decreased 25% from $131,899 for six months
ended December 31, 2008 to $98,494 for the six months ended December 31, 2009.
Pools’ share of these expenses in the 2008 period included $27,500 related to
the amortization of Pools’ customer list, which was fully amortized during the
fiscal year ending June 30, 2009. All of the Company’s customer lists are
now fully depreciated.
16
Loss
on marketable securities
We
recognized unrealized losses on our short-term investments of $27,165 and $0
during the six months ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
These investments consisted of corporate and municipal debt and preferred stock
auction rate securities held in an account with UBS Financial Services, Inc.,
and the losses were based on valuations by UBS. In January 2009 we
received cash for the par value of the outstanding auction rate
securities.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense was $31,100 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and $3,143 for
the six months ended December 31, 2009. The 2008 interest expense was primarily
attributable to the interest paid on a credit line with UBS that was secured by
marketable securities. This credit line was cancelled in January 2009 when
we liquidated our position in the marketable securities.
Interest
Income
Interest
income was $31,760 for the six months ended December 31, 2008 and $2,307 for the
six months ended December 31, 2009. The interest earned during the 2008
period was primarily attributable to the interest earned on investments in
marketable securities.
Net
Loss
We
recorded a net loss of $364,843 for the six months ended December 31, 2008
compared to a net loss $75,957 in the 2009 period. As we recorded our first
significant profitable quarter for the three months ended December 31, 2009 we
hope to achieve a profitable fiscal year. However, sales in the December
quarter were unexpectedly high and we do not expect that level of sales to
continue.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As of
December 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,686,281, compared to
$1,854,093 as of June 30, 2009. This increase is primarily attributable to an
increase in accounts payable of $3,659,601, partially offset by an increase in
accounts receivable of $2,167,186 and an increase in prepaid royalties of
$474,848.
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $1,003,016 for the six months ended
December 31, 2009 compared to cash provided by operating activities of $190,849
for the six months ended December 31, 2008. During the 2009 period, our accounts
receivable increased by $2,167,186 and our accounts payable increased by
$3,659,601, compared to decreases of $303,058 and $206,271, respectively, in the
2008 period. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we purchased
$474,848 of prepaid royalties, compared to use of $246,909 in the 2008 period.
Also, during the 2008 period, we issued a common stock warrant for services with
a value of $43,963 and we amortized $12,944 for stock options vesting in
December 2008. We amortized only $963 related to a common stock warrant
issued for services in the 2009 period.
Net cash
used in investing activities was $188,239 for the six months ended December 31,
2008 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $159,753 for the six
months ended December 31, 2009. This difference was primarily due to the
purchase of and additional interest in Pools Press in the 2008
period.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $619,453 for the six months ended December
31, 2008 compared to net cash used in financing activities of $11,075 for the
corresponding period in 2009. The cash provided by financing activities for the
2008 period was primarily provided by the sale of common stock in July
2008.
We
believe that our current cash resources will be sufficient to sustain our
current operations for at least one year. While we have not experienced any
significant losses from bad debts, we expect our accounts receivable to continue
to increase as a result of increases in our sales. We also expect to continue to
incur significant investor relations expenses in conjunction with the listing of
our common stock. In addition, we may need to obtain additional cash resources
during the next year in order to acquire complementary businesses. The need for
cash to finance acquisitions will depend on the businesses acquired and we
cannot predict those needs with any certainty. In the event such funds are
needed, we may engage in additional sales of debt or equity securities. The sale
of additional equity or convertible debt securities would result in additional
dilution to our shareholders. The issuance of additional debt would result in
increased expenses and could subject us to covenants that may have the effect of
restricting our operations. We have not made arrangements to obtain additional
financing and we can provide no assurance that additional financing will be
available in an amount or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements

Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item
4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our management, including our principal executive officer and principal
financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of
the Exchange Act (defined below)). Based upon that evaluation,
our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that,
as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and
procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in
reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act") is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
required time periods and is accumulated and communicated to our management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our
internal controls will prevent all error or fraud. A control system, no matter
how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design
of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints
and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Due to
the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if
any, have been detected. Accordingly, management believes that the financial
statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our
financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods
presented.
Changes
in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In
addition, our management with the participation of our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer have determined that no change in our
internal control over financial reporting (as that term is defined in Rules
13(a)-15(f) and 15(d)-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) occurred
during or subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2009 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control
over financial reporting.
