DERYCZ SCIENTIFIC, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2012 and 2011 (Unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization, Nature of Business and Basis of Presentation
Organization
Derycz Scientific, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in the State of Nevada on November 2, 2006. Derycz Scientific is a publicly traded holding company formerly with three wholly owned subsidiaries: Reprints Desk, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Reprints” or “Reprints Desk”); Techniques Appliquées aux Arts Graphiques, S.p.A., an entity organized under the laws of France (“TAAG”); and Pools Press, Inc., an Illinois corporation (“Pools” or “Pools Press”). On January 1, 2012, Pools Press was merged with and into Reprints Desk to form one, consolidated subsidiary.
Nature of Business
The Company is a content repurposing and rights management company with two reportable diverse geographical concentrations: US Operations and TAAG, which operates in France. US operations focus on content re-use services and products. TAAG provides printing and logistics services to its customers in Europe. 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 | |

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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.
8 |
These estimates and assumptions include estimates for reserves of uncollectible accounts, inventory obsolescence, analysis of impairments of recorded goodwill and intangibles, accruals for potential liabilities and assumptions made in valuing equity instruments issued for services or acquisitions.
Liquidity
For the nine months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a net loss of $5,597,979, however, cash provided by operating activities was $1,348,108 during this period. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had negative working capital of $348,935 and shareholders’ equity of $405,064.
· | US Operations |
The Company believes that its current cash resources and cash flow from US operations will be sufficient to sustain current US operations for the next twelve months. The Company expects to continue to produce cash from US operating activities; however, there are no assurances that such results will be achieved.
· | TAAG (France) |
The Company believes that its current cash resources and cash flow from TAAG may not be sufficient to sustain TAAG operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank limits the amount of funding of TAAG to $50,000 and no additional financing for TAAG is in place. Revenue from TAAG has seen a recent decline and continuing net losses have been incurred. Our overall strategy is to improve TAAG’s revenue, operations, and profitability. As a result, we have, and continue to, perform financial and operational analysis on TAAG. We replaced local management and have retained a qualified financial consultant to ensure these improvements, however, there is no assurance that such results will be achieved. In the event that TAAG becomes insolvent our exposure to creditors in France is limited to the assets of TAAG, however, we could lose a significant percentage of our revenues from TAAG. As a result, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the recorded values of goodwill of $1,344,219 and intangible assets of $1,235,517 that arose upon the acquisition of TAAG were impaired. Accordingly, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,602,638 that represents the impairment of the goodwill and the unamortized value of intangible assets, offset by the elimination of the earnout liability of $359,338 which we estimate will no longer be payable. At March 31, 2012, the Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $350,000 to reduce the deferred tax liability created upon the acquisition of TAAG that management determined was no longer necessary.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. 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.
Cash denominated in Euros with a US Dollar equivalent of $464,629 and $636,324 at March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, respectively, was held in accounts at financial institutions located in Europe.
As of March 31, 2012, one customer accounted for approximately 10% of accounts receivable, and no customer accounted for more than 10% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2011. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, one customer accounted for 9% of revenue, and one customer accounted for 11% of revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2011. For the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, one customer accounted for 12% of revenue.
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, two vendors accounted for 23% and 11% of the Company’s content costs, and two vendors accounted for 24% and 20% of content costs during the three months ended March 31, 2011. During the nine months ended March 31, 2012, two vendors accounted for approximately 18% and 14% of the Company’s content costs, and two vendors accounted for 23% and 17% of content costs during the nine months ended March 31, 2011.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Management performs impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairment has more likely than not occurred.
The Company accounts for acquisition of a business in accordance with guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"), which may result in the recognition of goodwill. Goodwill is related to the Company's acquisition of TAAG (see Note 3) in March 2011 and the acquisition of Pools Press in prior years. Goodwill is not amortized, rather, goodwill is assessed for impairment at least annually. Management tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reportable diverse geographical concentrations. The Company tests goodwill by using a two-step process. In the first step, the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with the carrying amount of the reporting unit, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, goodwill is considered impaired and a second step is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any.
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.
9 |
During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the value of goodwill and intangible assets related to the acquisition of TAAG were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1,344,219 that represents goodwill related to the acquisition of TAAG (See Note 3). In addition, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $688,138 that represents the unamortized value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses as of March 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2011, the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment of its recorded goodwill or intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for its services when all of the following criteria are satisfied:
• | services have been performed; | |
• | risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer; | |
• | the selling price is fixed or determinable; and | |
• | collectability is reasonably assured. |
The Company's primary source of revenue is from the re-use of published articles and rights management services as well as printing services. The Company recognizes revenues from the re-use of published articles and rights management services upon shipment or electronic delivery to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from printing services when services have been rendered and the printed materials have been delivered to the customer.
Stock-based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options, based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented in United States dollars, the functional currency of the Company. Capital accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated into US Dollars from foreign currency at their historical exchange rates when the capital transactions occurred. Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate as of the balance sheet date. Income and expenditures are translated at the average exchange rate of the period. Although the majority of our revenue and costs are in US dollars, the revenues and costs of TAAG are in Euros. As a result, currency exchange fluctuations may impact our revenue and the costs of our operations. We currently do not engage in any currency hedging activities.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Current accounting guidance requires presentation of basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income (loss) per share is computed similar to basic income (loss) per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive.
Loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the respective periods. Basic and diluted loss per common share is the same for all periods presented because all warrants and stock options outstanding are anti-dilutive.
The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share as they would be anti-dilutive because the Company had net losses for the periods below:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”. ASU No. 2011-4 does not require additional fair value measurements and is not intended to establish valuation standards or affect valuation practices outside of financial reporting. The ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU No. 2011-04 effective January 1, 2012 and it did not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income”. The ASU eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity, and instead requires consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income either in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU No. 2011-5 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 effective January 1, 2012 and it did not affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment”, an update to existing guidance on the assessment of goodwill impairment. This update simplifies the assessment of goodwill for impairment by allowing companies to consider qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before performing the two step impairment review process. It also amends the examples of events or circumstances that would be considered in a goodwill impairment evaluation. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company adopted ASU 2011-08 effective January 1, 2012. We do not believe that the adoption of this new accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our goodwill impairment assessments in the future.
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, “Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities”. This ASU requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of its financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position. ASU No. 2011-11 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013. The Company does not expect adoption of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.
Other recent accounting pronouncements issued by the FASB (including its Emerging Issues Task Force), the AICPA, and the SEC did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on the Company's present or future consolidated financial statements.
Note 3 — Acquisition of TAAG
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Fimmotaag, S.p.A., a privately held company, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of TAAG in exchange for 336,921 shares of the Company’s common stock in addition to future payments payable under the terms of the purchase agreement (the “Earnout Payments”). TAAG is a printing and logistics company located outside of Paris, France. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase in accordance with current accounting guidance on business combinations. As such, the results of TAAG’s operations are included in the consolidated financial statements beginning April 1, 2011. The purchase price of $1,572,254 consisted of the issuance of 336,921 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $1,212,916, based on the trading price of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2011 ($3.60 per share), as well as an estimate of the Earnout Payments of $359,338.
In accordance with the purchase agreement, the seller will be entitled to the Earnout Payments based upon the future performance of the acquired company. The amounts of the Earnout Payments are based on TAAG’s achievement of certain income before taxes targets during each of the five years ending December 31, 2011 through December 31, 2015. Each year, the Earnout Payment will be calculated based on the following formula: 20% of the first 200,000 Euros of net income before taxes of TAAG for the applicable year; plus 30% of the net income before taxes of TAAG between 200,000 and 300,000 Euros; plus 40% of the net income before taxes of TAAG in excess of 300,000 Euros. Earnout Payments can be paid in cash or the Company’s common stock at Fimmotaag’s discretion. The Company has recorded a liability of $0 as of March 31, 2012, and $359,338 as of June 30, 2011, for the expected Earnout Payments based on the earnings estimates for TAAG during the earnout period.

During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the recorded values of goodwill of $1,344,219 and intangible assets of $1,235,517 that arose upon the acquisition of TAAG were impaired. Accordingly, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,602,638 that represents the impairment of the goodwill and the unamortized value of intangible assets, offset by the elimination of the earnout liability of $359,338 which the Company estimates will no longer be payable. At March 31, 2012, the Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $350,000 to reduce the deferred tax liability created upon the acquisition of TAAG that management determined was no longer necessary.
The following table summarizes the impairment loss of goodwill and intangible assets related to the acquisition of TAAG:

Note 4 — Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of customer lists and a covenant not to compete, which are amortized over an estimated useful life of 2 years, and intellectual property licenses, which are amortized over an estimated useful life of 7 years.
During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses and intangible assets related to the acquisition of TAAG were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $688,138 that represents the unamortized value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses as of March 31, 2012. In addition, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,602,638 that represents goodwill and the unamortized value of intangible assets related to the acquisition of TAAG as of March 31, 2012 (Note 3).

Note 5 — Line of Credit
The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) on July 23, 2010, which as amended, provides for a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit that matures on October 31, 2013. On February 8, 2012, the Company entered into an Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement pursuant to which SVB waived our failure to comply with the minimum tangible net worth financial covenant set forth in the Loan Agreement for the compliance period ending December 31, 2011, the parties agreed to amend the minimum tangible net worth required for various periods in calendar year 2012, and the parties agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the revolving line shall accrue interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% for periods in which the Company maintains an account balance with SVB (less all indebtedness owed to SVB) of at least $800,000 at all times during the prior calendar month (the “Streamline Period”), and at the prime rate plus 4.5% when a Streamline Period is not in effect.
The line of credit is subject to certain financial and performance covenants which the Company was in compliance with as of March 31, 2012. The balance outstanding as of March 31, 2012, and June 30, 2011 was $1,350,000 and $1,436,233, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, approximately $1,420,000 and $202,000, respectively, of available credit was unused under the line of credit.
Note 6 - Related Party Transactions
At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company owed Fimmotaag, the former parent company of TAAG, $0 and $71,902, respectively. The advances are non-interest bearing, unsecured, and due on demand. Fimmotaag is owned by TAAG’s two managing directors.
Note 7 – Factor Agreements
During 2010, the Company, through TAAG, entered into factoring agreements with ABN Amro (“ABN”) and Credit Cooperatif for working capital and credit administration purposes. Under the agreements, the factors purchase trade accounts receivable assigned to the factors by the Company. The accounts are sold at the invoice amount subject to a factor commission and other miscellaneous fees. Trade accounts receivable not sold remain in the Company's custody and control and the Company maintains all credit risk on those accounts.
Under the agreement with ABN, the Company can borrow up to approximately $1.4 million (Euro 1,000,000), limited to 40% of its trade accounts. The factor fee is 0.26% of the customer invoice including VAT and interest is charged on the amount financed at the one month Euribor interest rate plus 1.2%. The interest rate under the agreement was 3.14% at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, $252,104 and $356,540 was due from ABN, respectively.
Under the agreement with Credit Cooperatif, the Company can borrow up to approximately $350,000 (Euro 250,000). The factor fee is determined on a case by case basis and is not specified in the agreement. The fee charged for the obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2011 was approximately 5%. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, $323,389 and $312,440 was due to Credit Cooperatif, respectively.

Note 8 — 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. The majority of awards issued under the Plan vest immediately or over three years, and have a term of ten years. There were 8,000 shares available for grant under the Plan as of March 31, 2012. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the fair value of the award, and recognized over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period.
The following table summarizes vested and unvested options activity:

The intrinsic value for all warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2012 was $1,500, based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on March 31, 2012.
On July 1, 2011, the Company issued warrants to acquire up to 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to a consultant in exchange for services. All of these warrants vested immediately and expire on July 1, 2016. 2,500 of the warrants have an exercise price of $3.50 per share, and 2,500 of the warrants have an exercise price of $4.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $8,614, and was charged to operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrants was calculated using the following assumptions: term of 5 years; expected volatility of 73%; no dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate of 0.92%.
On July 17, 2011, the Company agreed to extend to July 17, 2012 the expiration date of then outstanding warrants to acquire 200,009 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.00 per share. The warrant holders agreed to relinquish the cashless exercise feature of the warrants in exchange for the extension of the expiration date. On July 17, 2011, the fair value of the warrant extension, as calculated pursuant to the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was determined to be $264,714, and was charged to operations during the nine months ended March 31, 2012. The fair value of the warrant extension was calculated using the following assumptions: term of 1 year; expected volatility of 73%; no dividend yield, and risk-free interest rate of 0.92%.
In October and December 2010, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to two consultants for services to be rendered under consulting agreements with the Company. All of the consultant warrants have a four-year exercise term. Warrants to purchase 400,000 common shares, exercisable at $1.25 per share, vested immediately. Of the aggregate issuance, warrants to purchase 333,333 shares are exercisable at $1.75 per share and warrants to purchase 266,667 shares are exercisable at $2.25 per share, all of which vest over a one-year period. In the periods prior to July 1, 2011, the Company recorded $1,175,748 of compensation cost relating to the vesting of these warrants based on their fair value at the reporting date. At September 30, 2011, the warrants fully vested and the Company determined that the fair value of the unvested warrants upon vesting was $727,910 as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions; no dividend yield, risk free interest rate of 4.5%, expected volatility of 73%, and an expected term of the warrants of 4 years. The fair value of $727,910 reflected a decrease of $447,838 from the fair value of $1,175,748 at June 30, 2011. As such the Company recognized a gain of $447,838 during the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
In November 2010, the Company issued to three members of the board of directors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 per share. Each of the warrants is subject to the following vesting schedule: 12,500 shares vested and became exercisable under the warrant on each of December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011 and September 30, 2011. Each warrant expires on November 5, 2015. The fair market value of the warrants upon issuance was $161,304 calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions; no dividend yield, risk free interest rate of 4.5%, expected volatility of 73%, and an expected term of the warrants of 4 years. Stock based compensation cost of $40,326 was recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 for warrants vesting during the period.
On August 4, 2011, warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase 462,502 shares of the Company’s common stock on a cashless basis. The Company issued 246,928 shares of common stock as a result of those exercises.
On December 19, 2011, the Company issued to three members of the board of directors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.19 per share. All of the warrants vested immediately and expire on December 19, 2021. The fair market value of the warrants upon issuance was $161,773 calculated using a Black-Scholes pricing model with the following assumptions; no dividend yield, risk free interest rate of 1.95%, expected volatility of 148%, and an expected term of the warrants of 5 years. Stock based compensation cost of $161,773 was recorded during the nine months ended March 31, 2012 for the issuance of these warrants.

Note 9 — Contingencies and Commitments
Publisher Agreements
The Company has entered into agreements with publishers wherein the publishers have granted the Company an exclusive right to sell certain reprints of each of the publishers’ publications. On January 10, 2012, the Company amended one such agreement with a publisher. The original agreement, dated July 15, 2010, called for fixed royalty payments through December 2015. The agreement was amended replacing fixed royalty payments with percentage of revenue royalty payments beginning on January 1, 2012. The amended agreement specifies minimum annual payment thresholds, however, any shortfall on the minimum annual payment thresholds will be capped at $500,000 per year. The amended agreement also allows the publisher to terminate the existing agreement at any time after June 16, but prior to December 17, 2012. The table below summarizes the royalty payment obligations of the original and amended agreements:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In this document, Derycz Scientific, Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to as “we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”.
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our June 30, 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Our discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. Actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including our limited operating history, our ability to compete successfully with existing and new reprint companies, and the sufficiency of our cash and cash equivalents. We use words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expect,” “believe,” “intend,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report are based on information available to us on the date hereof and, except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements.
Overview
Derycz Scientific, Inc. 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., a Delaware corporation. 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 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., an Illinois corporation, pursuant to which the Company acquired 75% of the issued and outstanding common stock of Pools for consideration of $616,080. The Company purchased the remaining interest in Pools that it did not already own on August 31, 2010. Pools is a commercial printer, specializing in reprints of copyrighted articles. The results of Pools Press’ operations have been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since March 1, 2007.
On March 31, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Fimmotaag, S.p.A., a privately held company domiciled in France, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding common stock of TAAG in exchange for 336,921 shares of the Company’s common stock in addition to future payments payable at the option of Fimmotaag in cash or the Company’s common stock under the terms of the purchase agreement. TAAG is a printing and logistics company located outside of Paris, France.
On January 1, 2012, Pools merged with and into Reprints whereby Reprints assumed all of the rights and properties of Pools, forming one consolidated subsidiary and eliminating the separate legal existence of Pools.
Our mission is to provide information logistics solutions that facilitate the flow of information from the publishers of scientific and technical content to enterprise customers in life science and other research intensive industries. We make the hundreds of thousands of new articles each year, in addition to the tens of millions of existing articles that have been published in the past, available to our customers and help them identify the most useful and relevant content for their purposes. We serve both the publishers who own the content rights and the end-users of the content. We utilize web-based platforms as well as traditional delivery channels and are developing products and services that make it easier for our customers to find and use information. During the year ended June 30, 2011, we delivered more than 6.4 million articles in either hard copy or electronic form to over 500 customers in over 100 countries.
We generate revenue by providing three types of solutions to our customers; research solutions, marketing solutions, and publisher solutions.
Research Solutions
Researchers and regulatory personnel generally order single copies of literature, called “document delivery,” for use in their research activities. In order to use the content, our customers must pay appropriate copyright fees and our services ensure that we have obtained the necessary permissions from the owners of the published content so that our customers’ use of the content complies with applicable copyright laws. We also help these customers to maximize the information resources they already own. Our services alleviate the need for our customers to develop internal systems or contact multiple publishers in order to obtain the required information.
Marketing Solutions
Generally, marketing departments order large quantities of printed copies, called “reprints,” that they distribute to interested parties, including customers and doctors who may prescribe a customer’s products, and electronic copies, called “eprints,” for distribution through the Internet and other electronic mechanisms. TAAG and Pools Press print the reprints we deliver to our customers whenever possible and are responsible for any logistics required to distribute such reprints. TAAG also prints other materials that are used for marketing purposes and provides other information logistics products and services.

Publisher Solutions
Our publisher solutions include technology solutions and reprint management services, whereby we are responsible for all aspects of reprint and eprint production for a publisher, from taking orders to final delivery. This service eliminates the need for the publishers to establish a dedicated reprints sales force or arrange for delivery of reprinted materials.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us 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.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for its services when all of the following criteria are satisfied:
• | services have been performed; | |
• | risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer; | |
• | the selling price is fixed or determinable; and | |
• | collectability is reasonably assured. |
The Company's primary source of revenue is from the re-use of published articles and rights management services as well as printing services. The Company recognizes revenues from the re-use of published articles and rights management services upon shipment or electronic delivery to the customer. The Company recognizes revenue from printing services when services have been rendered and the printed materials have been delivered to the customer.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in capital raising transactions, for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic 718 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. The Company estimates the fair value of share-based payment awards to employees and directors on the date of grant using an option-pricing model, and the value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's Statements of Operations. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with Topic 718 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, whereby the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets
As required by the FASB, management performs impairment tests of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets at least annually, or whenever an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate impairment has more likely than not occurred.
In accordance with guidance of the FASB, management tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company has two reportable diverse geographical concentrations. At the time of goodwill impairment testing, management determines fair value through the use of a discounted cash flow valuation model incorporating discount rates commensurate with the risks involved with its reporting unit. If the calculated fair value is less than the current carrying value, impairment of the Company may exist. The use of a discounted cash flow valuation model to determine estimated fair value is common practice in impairment testing in the absence of available domestic and international transactional market evidence to determine the fair value. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow valuation model for impairment testing include discount rates, growth rates, cash flow projections and terminal value rates.
In accordance with guidance of the FASB, 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.

During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the recorded values of goodwill of $1,344,219 and intangible assets of $1,235,517 that arose upon the acquisition of TAAG were impaired. Accordingly, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,602,638 that represents the impairment of the goodwill and the unamortized value of intangible assets, offset by the elimination of the earnout liability of $359,338 which the Company estimates will no longer be payable. At March 31, 2012, the Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $350,000 to reduce the deferred tax liability created upon the acquisition of TAAG that management determined was no longer necessary. In addition, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $688,138 that represents the unamortized value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses as of March 31, 2012. As of June 30, 2011, the Company determined that there were no indicators of impairment of its recorded goodwill or intangible assets.

Revenue from US operations decreased $91,269 or 1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011. Revenue from US operations increased $1.1 million, or 7.3%, for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011, primarily due to the acquisition of new customers. We expect revenue from US operations to continue to increase during the 2012 fiscal year.
Revenue from TAAG was $2.4 million and $8.6 million for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012 respectively. Revenue from TAAG was not included in the prior year. Revenue from TAAG for the three months ended March 31, 2012 has decreased compared to the three months ended December 31, 2011 and September 30, 2011, primarily due to disappointing sales efforts and general financial uncertainty in Europe. The Company has replaced the local management of TAAG as part of our overall strategy for improving revenue, operations, and profitability; however, there is no assurance that such results will be achieved. Revenue may continue to decrease further if financial uncertainty in Europe persists.

The decrease in our cost of revenue as a percentage of revenue from US operations for the three ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to the amendment of a Certain Publisher Guaranteed Payment or “CPGP” agreement with a publisher and expense reduction measures that reduced our production expenses. CPGPs are fixed cost agreements to exclusively sell certain reprints of each of the publishers’ publications. During the six months ended December 31, 2011 the Company recorded the cost of each of these contracts on a straight line basis over the terms of the agreements. Beginning on January 1, 2012, and in accordance with the amendment to the publisher agreement, the Company records as cost 85% of the revenue recognized under the agreement. For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded approximately $845,263 and $1,999,481, respectively, in revenue under CPGPs while recording approximately $746,043 and $3,396,019, respectively, of costs, which caused our cost of revenue to increase significantly relative to the revenue levels and therefore significantly reduced our gross margin from US operations.
On January 10, 2012, we amended a CPGP agreement with a publisher. The original agreement, dated July 15, 2010, called for fixed royalty payments through December 2015. The agreement was amended replacing fixed royalty payments with percentage of revenue royalty payments beginning on January 1, 2012. The amended agreement specifies minimum annual payment thresholds, however, any shortfall on the minimum annual payment thresholds will be capped at $500,000 per year. The amended agreement also allows the publisher to terminate the existing agreement at any time after June 16, but prior to December 17, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, the Company estimates that the minimum annual payment threshold for calendar year 2012 will be reached and accordingly has not accrued for any of the $500,000 shortfall cap. Our gross margin from US operations should continue to improve during the 2012 fiscal year because of the amended agreement and expense reduction measures that reduced our production expenses. Our gross margin may further improve if we successfully market and sell higher margin new products, some of which are currently in development and some of which have been recently introduced to the market.
Cost of revenue from TAAG was $1.6 million and $5.2 million for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012, respectively. Cost of revenue from TAAG was not included in the prior year.

Selling, General and Administrative
The decrease in our selling, general and administrative expenses from US operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three and months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to compensation and consulting fees. The increase in our selling, general and administrative expenses from US operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to compensation and legal, accounting and consulting fees.
During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $688,138 that represents the unamortized value of intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses as of March 31, 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expenses from TAAG amounted to $1 million and $3.3 million for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012 respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses from TAAG were not included in the prior year.

During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the value of goodwill and intangible assets related to the acquisition of TAAG were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,602,638 that represents goodwill and the unamortized value of intangible assets, offset by the earnout related to the acquisition of TAAG as of March 31, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, amounted to $374,420 and $1,378,984, respectively, with $15,200 and $53,670 recorded under cost of revenue in the same respective periods.
The amounts recorded for US operations consist mostly of amortization of intellectual property licenses and customer lists. We expect a significant reduction in amortization expense for US operations next quarter as the carrying value of the intangible assets related to intellectual property licenses have been impaired and reduced to $0 in the current period. We expect depreciation expense for US operations to remain at current levels during the 2012 fiscal year.
The amounts recorded for TAAG are split between depreciation of mostly printing equipment and amortization of the customer list and covenant not to compete. We expect depreciation expense for TAAG to decrease significantly starting next quarter as certain printing equipment has been fully depreciated. We also expect no amortization expense for TAAG next quarter as the carrying value of the intangible assets related to the acquisition of TAAG have been impaired and reduced to $0 in the current period.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $161,470 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012, compared to $73,475 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011, an increase of $87,995. The increase was primarily attributable to the interest paid on capital leases for printing equipment by TAAG and on a credit line for US operations with Silicon Valley Bank which provides a $4 million revolving line of credit secured by all of the assets of the Company, excluding TAAG’s assets. We expect interest expense to remain at current levels during the 2012 fiscal year.
Income tax benefit
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $350,000 to reduce the deferred tax liability created upon the acquisition of TAAG that management determined was no longer necessary. There was no income tax benefit recorded in 2011.

The decrease in our net loss from US operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to a decrease in cost of sales and operating expenses as described above. The increase in our net loss from US operations for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2011, was primarily due to an increase in operating expenses as described above.
Our net loss from TAAG amounted to $1.6 million and $2.3 million for the three months and nine months ended March 31, 2012 respectively. Results from TAAG were not included in the prior year.

Since our inception, we have funded our operations primarily through private sales of equity securities and the exercise of warrants, which have provided aggregate net cash proceeds to date of approximately $10,350,000, of which $5,250,000 was raised in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011.
23 |
As of March 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,245,809 compared to $2,868,260 as of June 30, 2011, an increase $377,549. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts payable of $2,395,269, and a decrease of prepaid royalties of $1,013,809, partially offset by payments of capital lease obligations of $611,589 and an increase in accounts receivable of $293,459.
We believe that our current cash resources and future cash flows will be sufficient to sustain current operations for the next twelve months.
· | US Operations |
The Company believes that its current cash resources and cash flow from US operations will be sufficient to sustain current US operations for the next twelve months. The Company expects to continue to produce cash from US operating activities; however, there are no assurances that such results will be achieved.
· | TAAG (France) |
The Company believes that its current cash resources and cash flow from TAAG may not be sufficient to sustain TAAG operations for the next twelve months. The Company’s line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank limits the amount of funding of TAAG to $50,000 and no additional financing for TAAG is in place. Revenue from TAAG has seen a recent decline and continuing net losses have been incurred. Our overall strategy is to improve TAAG’s revenue, operations, and profitability. As a result, we have, and continue to, perform financial and operational analysis on TAAG. We replaced local management and have retained a qualified financial consultant to ensure these improvements, however, there is no assurance that such results will be achieved. In the event that TAAG becomes insolvent our exposure to creditors in France is limited to the assets of TAAG, however, we could lose a significant percentage of our revenues from TAAG. As a result, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company determined that the recorded values of goodwill of $1,344,219 and intangible assets of $1,235,517 that arose upon the acquisition of TAAG were impaired. Accordingly, during the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,602,638 that represents the impairment of the goodwill and the unamortized value of intangible assets, offset by the elimination of the earnout liability of $359,338 which we estimate will no longer be payable. At March 31, 2012, the Company also recorded an income tax benefit of $350,000 to reduce the deferred tax liability created upon the acquisition of TAAG that management determined was no longer necessary.
Operating Activities
Our net cash provided by operating activities was $1,348,108 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and resulted primarily from an increase in accounts payable of $2,395,269, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $1,378,984, non-cash impairment losses of $2,290,776 and a decrease of prepaid royalties of $1,013,809, partially offset by a decrease in deferred income tax liability of $350,000 and an increase in accounts receivable of $293,459 as well as the net loss of $5,597,979 for the period.
Our net cash used in operating activities was $4,855,717 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and resulted primarily from an increase in accounts receivable of $1,876,631 as well as the net loss of $3,229,351 for the period.
Investing Activities
Our net cash used in investing activities was $249,921 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and resulted primarily from the purchase of intangible assets and property and equipment.
Our net cash provided by investing activities was $343,378 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and resulted primarily from the cash acquired upon the acquisition of TAAG, partially offset by the purchase of the remaining interest in Pools Press and the purchase of intangible assets and property and equipment.
Financing Activities
Our net cash used in financing activities was $797,387 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and resulted primarily from payments of capital lease obligations of $611,589.
Our net cash provided by financing activities was $6,414,029 for the nine months ended March 31, 2011 and resulted primarily from issuance of shares upon the exercise of warrants of $2,484,187, issuance of common shares and warrants of $2,784,032, and advances under the line of credit of $1,171,178.
The Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) on July 23, 2010, which as amended, provides for a $4,000,000 revolving line of credit that matures on October 31, 2013. The SVB line of credit bears interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% for periods in which the Company maintains an account balance with SVB (less all indebtedness owed to SVB) of at least $800,000 at all times during the prior calendar month (the “Streamline Period”), and at the prime rate plus 4.5% when a Streamline Period is not in effect. The interest rate on the line of credit was 6.5% as of March 31, 2012. The line of credit is secured by all of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets, excluding TAAG’s assets.
The line of credit is subject to certain financial and performance covenants which the Company was in compliance with as of March 31, 2012. The balance outstanding as of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011 was $1,350,000 and $1,436,233, respectively. As of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, approximately $1,420,000 and $202,000, respectively, of available credit was unused under the line of credit.
During 2010, the Company, through TAAG, entered into factoring agreements with ABN Amro (“ABN”) and Credit Cooperatif for working capital and credit administration purposes. Under the agreements, the factors purchase trade accounts receivable assigned to the factors by the Company. The accounts are sold at the invoice amount subject to a factor commission and other miscellaneous fees. Trade accounts receivable not sold remain in the Company's custody and control and the Company maintains all credit risk on those accounts.
24 |
Under the agreement with ABN, the Company can borrow up to approximately $1.4 million (Euro 1,000,000), limited to 40% of its trade accounts. The factor fee is 0.26% of the customer invoice including VAT and interest is charged on the amount financed at the one month Euribor interest rate plus 1.2%. The interest rate under the agreement was 3.14% at March 31, 2012. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, $252,104 and $356,540 was due from ABN, respectively.
Under the agreement with Credit Cooperatif, the Company can borrow up to approximately $350,000 (Euro 250,000). The factor fee is determined on a case by case basis and is not specified in the agreement. The fee charged for the obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2011 was approximately 5%. At March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, $323,389 and $312,440 was due to Credit Cooperatif, respectively.

As a smaller reporting company, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this item.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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 an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based on this evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of March 31, 2012, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information it is required to disclose in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. As suggested by SEC staff guidance, management has excluded TAAG from its evaluation for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012, TAAG’s total assets represented approximately 30% of our consolidated total assets and approximately 26% of consolidated total current assets. TAAG's total revenues constituted approximately 27% of our consolidated revenue and its operating loss constituted approximately 43% of our consolidated operating loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.
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 Exchange Act) occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 5. Other Information
On February 8, 2012, we entered into an Amendment to the Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”) dated July 23, 2010 (the “Loan Agreement”), pursuant to which SVB waived our failure to comply with the minimum tangible net worth financial covenant set forth in Section 6.9(b) of the Loan Agreement for the compliance period ending December 31, 2011, the parties agreed to amend the minimum tangible net worth required for various periods in calendar year 2012, and the parties agreed that the principal amount outstanding under the revolving line shall accrue interest at the prime rate plus 2.5% for periods in which the Company maintains an account balance with SVB (less all indebtedness owed to SVB) of at least $800,000 at all times during the prior calendar month (the “Streamline Period”), and at the prime rate plus 4.5% when a Streamline Period is not in effect.
