Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Business
Description and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business
Description
Bacterin
International Holdings, Inc. (“the “Company” or “Bacterin”) develops,
manufactures and markets biologics products to domestic and international
markets. Bacterin’s proprietary methods optimize the growth factors
in human allografts to create the ideal stem cell scaffold and promote bone and
other tissue growth. These products are used in a variety of
applications including enhancing fusion in spine surgery, relief of back pain
with a facet joint stabilization, promotion of bone growth in foot and ankle
surgery, promotion of skull healing following neurosurgery and cartilage
regeneration in knee and other joint surgeries.
Bacterin’s
device division develops anti-microbial coatings to inhibit infection based upon
proprietary knowledge of the phenotypical changes made by microbes as they sense
and adapt to changes in their environment. Bacterin develops, employs, and
licenses bioactive coatings for various medical device
applications. Bacterin’s strategic coating initiatives include the
inhibition of biofilm formation, local (as opposed to systemic) drug delivery,
local (as opposed to systemic) pain management, and anti-thrombotic factors for
medical device applications.
Certain
Risks and Concentrations
The
Company's revenue is derived principally from the sale or license of its medical
products, coatings and device implants. The markets in which the Company
competes are highly competitive and rapidly changing. Significant technological
advances, changes in customer requirements, or the emergence of competitive
products with new capabilities or technologies could adversely affect the
Company's operating results. The Company's business could be harmed by a decline
in demand for, or in the prices of, its products or as a result of, among other
factors, any change in pricing or distribution model, increased price
competition, changes in government regulations or a failure by the Company to
keep up with technological change. Further, a decline in available
tissue donors could have an adverse impact on the business.
Financial
instruments subjecting the Company to concentrations of credit risk are accounts
and notes receivable. The Company maintains cash, cash equivalents, and
short-term investments with various domestic financial institutions. From time
to time, the Company's cash balances with its financial institutions may exceed
federal deposit insurance limits.
The
Company's customers are worldwide with approximately 97% of sales in the United
States for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. One customer accounted for
approximately 9% and 14% of the Company’s revenue for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. One customer represented
9% and 12% of accounts receivable at September 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.

Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of the financial statements requires management of the Company to
make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reported amount of
assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and
expenses during the period; the carrying amount of property and equipment and
intangible assets; valuation allowances for receivables and deferred income tax
assets; and estimates of expected term and volatility in determining stock-based
compensation expense. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
6
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original
maturity date of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash
equivalents are recorded at cost, which approximates market value.
Accounts
Receivable and Notes Receivable - Trade
Accounts
receivable represents amounts due from customers for which revenue has been
recognized. Normal terms on trade accounts receivable are net 30 days and some
customers are offered discounts for quick pay. Notes receivable
include amounts due from West Coast Tissue Service, a supplier of donors to the
Company. The Company performs credit evaluations when considered necessary, but
generally does not require collateral to extend credit.
The
allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of
probable credit losses in the Company's existing receivables. The Company
determines the allowance based on factors such as historical collection
experience, customer's current creditworthiness, customer concentration, age of
accounts receivable balance and general economic conditions that may affect a
customer's ability to pay. Actual customer collections could differ from
estimates. Account balances are charged to the allowance after all means of
collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered
remote. Provisions to the allowance for doubtful accounts are charged to
expense. The Company does not have any off-balance sheet credit exposure related
to its customers.
Inventories
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using
the specific identification method and includes materials, labor and
overhead.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over
the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally three to seven years for
computers and equipment, and 30 years for buildings. Repairs and maintenance are
expensed as incurred.
Intangible
Assets
Intangible
assets include costs to acquire and protect Company patents and are carried at
cost less accumulated amortization. The Company amortizes these assets on a
straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 15 years.
Grants
As part
of the Company’s efforts to build the development of new technologies, tissue
donation and expansion of tissue supply, the Company, may, from time-to-time
either provide or receive grants. These grant receipts are used for
research and development efforts.
Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: a) the Company has
entered into a legally binding agreement with the customer; b) the products or
services have been delivered; c) the Company's fee for providing the products
and services is fixed and determinable; and d) collection of the Company’s fee
is probable.
The
Company’s policy is to record revenue net of any applicable sales, use, or
excise taxes. If an arrangement includes a right of acceptance or a
right to cancel, revenue is recognized when acceptance is received or the right
to cancel has expired.
The
Company sells to certain customers under consignment arrangements whereby the
Company ships product to be stored by the customer. The customer is
required to report the use to the Company and upon such notice, the Company
invoices the customer.
Research
and development services revenue is recognized as performed, based on the
incurrence of qualifying costs or achievement of milestones as prescribed in the
arrangement.
7
Research
and Development
Research
and development costs, which are principally related to internal costs for the
development of new technologies and processes for tissue and coatings, are
expensed as incurred.
Income
Taxes
The
Company records income taxes under the asset and liability method as prescribed
under FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 740, Accounting for Income
Taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial
statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their
respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using
enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect
on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in
income in the period that includes the enactment date. When applicable, a
valuation allowance is established to reduce any deferred tax asset when it is
determined that it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax
asset will not be realized.
Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived
assets, including intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may
not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future net cash flows
expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the
carrying amount of the assets exceeds the estimated fair value of the assets.
Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or
fair value less costs to sell. No impairments of long-lived assets
have been identified in any of the periods presented.

Merger”), in which we caused Bacterin International, Inc., a Nevada corporation
(“Bacterin”), to be merged with and into a wholly-owned Nevada subsidiary
created for purposes of effecting the Reverse Merger, and the stockholders of
Bacterin obtained control of the Company. The Reverse Merger was consummated
under Nevada corporate law pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as
of June 30, 2010. As a result of the Reverse Merger, Bacterin became
our wholly-owned subsidiary and we are now engaged, through Bacterin, in the
business of biomaterials research, development, and
commercialization.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Reverse Merger, the stockholders of Bacterin immediately
preceding the Reverse Merger received one share of the Company’s common stock
for each two shares of Bacterin common stock such stockholder held prior to the
Reverse Merger (effectively resulting in a de facto one-for-two reverse stock
split of the then outstanding Bacterin shares). The aggregate number of the
Company’s shares of common stock so issued to the Bacterin stockholders, being
28,257,070 shares, represented approximately 96% of our outstanding
common stock as of the closing of the Reverse Merger on June 30, 2010, prior to
taking into account the issuance of any shares of our common stock pursuant to
the private placement described below.
All share
amounts, including those for which any securities are exercisable or
convertible, have been adjusted to reflect the conversion ratio used in the
Reverse Merger. In addition, stockholders equity and earnings per
share have been retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares of
Company common stock received by Bacterin stockholders in the Reverse Merger or
the number of shares of Company common stock receivable by former Bacterin
stockholders upon exercise or conversion of other securities held by them, as
applicable.
8
Bacterin
was deemed to be the acquiring company for accounting purposes and, accordingly,
the Reverse Merger has been accounted for as a recapitalization. The
consolidated financial statements of the Company after the Reverse Merger
reflect the historical financial results of Bacterin before the consummation of
the Reverse Merger and do not include the historical financial results of the
Company before the consummation of the Reverse Merger.
Private
Placement
Concurrently
with the closing of the Reverse Merger on June 30, 2010, we also completed an
initial closing of a private placement to selected qualified investors of shares
of our common stock at a purchase price of $1.60 per share and detachable
warrants to purchase one-quarter share of our common stock (at an exercise price
of $2.50 per share) for each share of common stock purchased in the private
placement.
In the
initial closing on June 30,2010, , we sold 4,934,534 shares of our common stock
and warrants to purchase 1,233,634 shares of common stock as part of this
initial closing. We received gross proceeds of $7,508,329 in consideration for
the sale of the shares of common stock and warrants, which consisted of (i)
$4,026,000 in net cash from investors in the private placement and (ii)
$3,482,329 from note holders in two earlier Bacterin bridge financings
(conducted to fund working capital and capital expenditures during the months
prior to the Reverse Merger) who converted their outstanding principal and
interest into the private placement at a 10% discount to the purchase price,
being $1.44 per share, and received identical warrant coverage as the cash
investors except that the exercise price of the converting note holders’
warrants is $2.25 per share, a 10% discount to the exercise price of the
warrants received by the cash investors.
In the
second and final closing of this private placement on July 30, 2010, we sold a
total of 1,102,500 additional shares of our common stock together with
additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 275,625 shares of our common
stock for total gross cash proceeds of $1,764,000.
Our
placement agents received an aggregate of $463,200 in cash fees in connection
with the private placement ($322,080 from the initial closing and $141,120 from
the second and final closing) and were reimbursed for their
out-of-pocket-expenses. In addition, the placement agents received an
aggregate of 106,217 shares of our common stock (84,167 shares from
the initial closing and 22,050 shares from the second and final closing) and
warrants to purchase 361,875 shares of our common stock (251,625 shares from the
initial closing and 110,250 shares from the second and final closing) at an
exercise price of $1.60 per share.
Following
the private placement transaction, the Company has permitted an additional
$400,000 in principal amount outstanding under the bridge financing to convert
into 280,411 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase
70,103 shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms as if such debt
had actually converted in the private placement transaction.
Stock-Based
Compensation
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 718 for its
stock-based compensation plans. Under ASC 718, stock-based
compensation costs are recognized based on the estimated fair value at the grant
date for all stock-based awards. The Company estimates grant date
fair values using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model, which requires
assumptions of the life of the award and the stock price volatility over the
term of the award. The Company records compensation cost of
stock-based awards using the straight line method, which is recorded into
earnings over the vesting period of the award. Pursuant to the income
tax provisions included in ASC 718-740, the Company has elected the “short cut
method” of computing its hypothetical pool of additional paid-in capital that is
available to absorb future tax benefit shortfalls.
Comprehensive
Income (Loss)
Comprehensive
loss includes net income or loss, as well as other changes in stockholders'
equity that result from transactions and economic events other than those with
stockholders. The Company currently does not have any transactions that qualify
for accounting and inclusion as other comprehensive income (loss).
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The
carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, notes
receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses, approximate their fair
values.

(12) Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company’s Equity Incentive Plan provides for stock awards, including options and
performance stock awards, to be granted to employees, consultants, independent
contractors, officers and directors. The purpose of the incentive
compensation plan is to enable us to attract, retain and motivate key employees,
directors and, on occasion, independent consultants, by providing them with
stock options and restricted stock grants. Stock options granted
under the incentive compensation plan may be either incentive stock options to
employees, as defined in Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or
non-qualified stock options. The plan is currently administered by
our board of directors but will be administered by our compensation committee
once such committee has been established. The administrator of the
plan has the power to determine the terms of any stock options granted under the
incentive plan, including the exercise price, the number of shares subject to
the stock option and conditions of exercise. Stock options granted
under the incentive plan are generally not transferable, vest in installments
and are exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee only by such
optionee. The exercise price of all incentive stock options granted
under the incentive plan must be at least equal to the fair market value of the
shares of common stock on the date of the grant. The specific terms
of each stock option grant will be reflected in a written stock option
agreement. At September 30, 2010, the Company had approximately 6
million shares available for issuance under the equity plan.
12
Compensation
expense recognized in the statement of operations for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and
reflects an estimate of awards that will be forfeited. ASC 718
requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if
necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those
estimates.
The
estimated fair value of stock options granted is done using the
Black-Sholes-Merton method applied to individual grants. Key
assumptions used to estimate the fair value of stock awards are as
follows:
|
·
|
Risk-Free
Rate: The risk-free rate is determined by reference to U.S. Treasury
yields at or near the time of grant for time periods similar to the
expected term of the award.
|
|
·
|
Expected
Term: The Company does not have adequate history to estimate an expected
term of stock-based awards, and accordingly, uses the short-cut method as
prescribed by Staff Accounting Bulletin 107 to determine an expected
term.
|
|
·
|
Volatility:
The Company estimates expected volatility based on peer-companies as
prescribed by ASC 718.
|
|
·
|
Dividend
Yield: The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company’s history and
expectation of dividend payouts and was 0% as of September 30, 2010 and
2009.

From time
to time the Company may grant stock options to consultants. The
Company accounts for consultant stock options in accordance with ASC
505-50. Compensation expense for the grant of stock options to
consultants is determined based on the estimated fair value of the stock options
at the measurement date as defined in ASC 505-50 and is recognized over the
vesting period.

In
connection with private placements of convertible debt, short-term debt, and
common stock, the Company issued warrants to purchase shares of common stock at

with common stock were recorded as additional paid in capital at the estimated
fair market value of $13,601 in 2009. The warrants issued with
convertible debt and short-term loans were recorded as interest expense at the
estimated fair value of $137,415 in 2009 using the following

From
January 1, 2010, through September 30, 2010, we issued warrants to purchase
1,482,256 shares of our common stock at an exercise price between $2.16 and
$2.50 per share in connection with Bacterin’s two prior bridge financings and
warrants to purchase 1,540,299 shares of our common stock in connection with the
closing of our private placement on June 30, 2010 and July 30, 2010 described
above. Warrants to purchase 904,688 shares of our common stock which
were issued to investors who purchased shares for cash in the private placement
have an exercise price of $2.50 per share and warrants to purchase 635,611
shares of our common stock which were issued to note holders who converted debt
they acquired in Bacterin’s two prior bridge financings into the private
placement have an exercise price of $2.25 per share, a 10% discount to the
exercise price of the investors for cash.
Additionally,
we issued warrants to our placement agents to purchase 281,520 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $1.66 per share in connection with
Bacterin’s two prior bridge financings and 361,875 shares of our
common stock at an exercise price of $1.60 per share in connection with the
private placements which closed on June 30, 2010 and July 30,2010.

Rent
expense was $109,944 and $126,716 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
and 2009, respectively. Rent expense is determined using the
straight-line method of the minimum expected rent paid over the term of the
agreement. The Company has no contingent rent
agreements.
Warranties
and Indemnification
The
Company's arrangements generally include certain provisions for indemnifying
customers against liabilities if its products or services infringe a
third-party's intellectual property rights. To date, the Company has not
incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications and has not
accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in the accompanying
financial statements.
The
Company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and executive officers for
costs associated with any fees, expenses, judgments, fines and settlement
amounts incurred by any of these persons in any action or proceeding to which
any of those persons is, or is threatened to be, made a party by reason of the
person's service as a director or officer, including any action by the Company,
arising out of that person's services as the Company's director or officer or
that person's services provided to any other company or enterprise at the
Company's request.
Litigation
From time
to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary
course of business. The Company believes that the resolution of these matters
will not have a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or liquidity. Legal fees are charged to expense as
incurred, unless the probability of incurring a loss is high and the amount can
be reasonably estimated, in which case the estimated loss is
accrued.

The
ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence or
generation of taxable income in the periods when those temporary differences and
net operating loss carryovers are deductible. Management considers the scheduled
reversal of deferred tax liabilities, taxes paid in carryover years, projected
future taxable income, available tax planning strategies, and other factors in
making this assessment. Based on available evidence, management does not believe
it is more likely than not that all of the deferred tax assets will be realized.
Accordingly, the Company has established a valuation allowance equal to the net
realizable deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance increased by $5,260,596
and $1,704,002 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and year ended
December 31, 2009, respectively.
At
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had total domestic Federal
and state net operating loss carryovers of approximately $11,355,350 and
$8,652,555, respectively. Federal net operating loss carryovers expire at
various dates between 2027 and 2029, while state net operating loss carryovers
expire between 2024 and 2029.
Under the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended, the amounts of and benefits from net
operating loss carryovers and research and development credits may be impaired
or limited in certain circumstances. Events which cause limitations in the
amount of net operating losses that the Company may utilize in any one year
include, but are not limited to, a cumulative ownership change of more than 50%,
as defined, over a three year period. The Company does not believe that such an
ownership change has occurred in 2010 or 2009.
The 2007
through 2009 tax years remain open to examination by the Internal Revenue
Service and the 2005 to 2009 tax years remain open to the Montana Department of
Revenue. These taxing authorities have the authority to examine those tax years
until the applicable statute of limitations expire.
(15) Employee
Benefit Plans
The
Company has a SIMPLE IRA retirement plan established for qualified
employees. Qualified employees may defer their salary and the
deferrals are matched up to 2% for September 30, 2010 and 3% for 2009 of
eligible compensation by the Company. The plan covers substantially
all full-time employees. Under the terms of the plan, participants may
contribute up to the lower of $10,500 of their salary or the statutorily
prescribed limit to the plan. Employees are eligible the first January after
their hire date. The Company made matching contributions during
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 of $30,953 and $38,953,
respectively.

ITEM
2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section
27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements include
statements relating to the intended usage and markets for our products and
services, the market for our common stock, and our liquidity, results of
operations, and ability to meet our anticipated cash
requirements. Actual results could differ materially from those
currently anticipated as a result of a number of factors, including those set
forth under “Risk Factors” in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC
on July 7, 2010.
You
should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of
operations in conjunction with our financial statements and related notes set
forth in this report. Unless the context otherwise requires, “we,”
“our,” “us” and similar expressions used in this Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation section refer to
Bacterin International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Bacterin”) prior to the
closing of the Reverse Merger, as defined below, on June 30, 2010, and Bacterin
International Holdings, Inc., f/k/a K-Kitz, Inc., as successor to the business
of Bacterin, following the closing of the Reverse Merger
transaction.
Background
On June
30, 2010, the Company completed a reverse merger transaction (the “Reverse
Merger”), in which we caused Bacterin to be merged with and into a wholly-owned
Nevada subsidiary created for purposes of effecting the Reverse Merger, and the
stockholders of Bacterin obtained control of the Company. The Reverse Merger was
consummated under Nevada corporate law pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger, dated as of June 30, 2010. As a result of the Reverse Merger,
Bacterin became our wholly-owned subsidiary and we are now engaged, through
Bacterin, in the business of biomaterials research, development, and
commercialization.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Reverse Merger, the stockholders of Bacterin immediately
preceding the Reverse Merger received one share of the Company’s common stock
for each two shares of Bacterin common stock such stockholder held prior to the
Reverse Merger (effectively resulting in a de facto one-for-two reverse stock
split of the then outstanding Bacterin shares) with the aggregate number of the
Company’s shares of common stock so issued to the Bacterin stockholders, being
28,257,070 shares, representing approximately 96% of our outstanding common
stock as of the closing of the Reverse Merger on June 30, 2010, prior to taking
into account the issuance of any shares of our common stock pursuant to the
private placement described below.
Before
the Reverse Merger, our corporate name was K-Kitz, Inc., and our trading symbol
was KKTZ.OB. On June 29, 2010, we changed our corporate name to “Bacterin
International Holdings, Inc.” which name change became effective for trading
purposes on July 1, 2010. Effective July 21, 2010, our trading symbol was
changed from KKTZ.OB to BIHI.OB.
Concurrently
with the closing of the Reverse Merger, we completed an initial closing of a
private placement to selected qualified investors of shares of our common stock
at a purchase price of $1.60 per share and detachable warrants to purchase
one-quarter share of our common stock (at an exercise price of $2.50 per share).
In total, we sold 4,934,534 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase
1,233,634 shares of common stock as part of this initial closing. We received
gross proceeds of $7,508,329 in consideration for the sale of the shares of
common stock and warrants, which consisted of (i) $4,026,000 in cash from
investors in the private placement and (ii) $3,482,329 from note holders in two
earlier Bacterin bridge financings (conducted to fund working capital and
capital expenditures during the months prior to the Reverse Merger) who
converted their outstanding principal and interest into the private placement at
a 10% discount to the purchase price, being $1.44 per share, and received
identical warrant coverage as the cash investors except that the exercise price
of the converting note holders’ warrants is $2.25 per share, a 10% discount to
the exercise price of the warrants received by the cash investors.
In the
second and final closing of this private placement on July 30, 2010, we sold a
total of 1,102,500 additional shares of our common stock together with
additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 275,625 shares of our common
stock for total gross cash proceeds of $1,764,000.
17
Our
placement agents received an aggregate of $463,200 in cash fees in connection
with the private placement ($322,080 from the initial closing and $141,120 from
the second and final closing) and were reimbursed for their
out-of-pocket-expenses. In addition, the placement agents received an
aggregate of 106,217 shares of our common stock (84,167 shares from the initial
closing and 22,050 shares from the second and final closing) and warrants to
purchase 361,875 shares of our common stock (251,625 shares from the initial
closing and 110,250 shares from the second and final closing) at an exercise
price of $1.60 per share.
Following
the private placement transaction, the Company has permitted an additional
$400,000 in principal amount outstanding under the bridge financing to convert
into 280,411 shares of the Company’s common stock and warrants to purchase
70,103 shares of the Company’s common stock on the same terms as if such debt
had actually converted in the private placement transaction.
Concurrently
with the closing of the Reverse Merger, the Company repurchased 4,319,404 shares
of its common stock from one of its stockholders for aggregate consideration of
$100, as well as certain other good and valuable consideration, and Bacterin
repurchased 82,817 shares of its common stock from a few of its stockholders for
aggregate consideration of $132,507. Immediately after these repurchases, all of
these shares were cancelled in connection with the Reverse Merger.
Overview
We
develop, manufacture and market biologics products to domestic and international
markets through our biologics division and are a leader in the field
of biomaterials research, device development and
commercialization. Our proprietary methods optimize the growth
factors in human allografts to create the ideal stem cell scaffold and promote
bone and other tissue growth. These products are used in a variety of
applications including enhancing fusion in spine surgery, relief of back pain
with a facet joint stabilization, promotion of bone growth in foot and ankle
surgery, promotion of skull healing following neurosurgery and cartilage
regeneration in knee and other joint surgeries.
Our
medical devices division develops medical devices intended for use in several
diverse clinical areas including orthopedic, plastic, and cardiovascular
surgery. Our background and expertise is in the research, testing, and
development of coatings for medical devices, particularly antimicrobial-based
coatings. Such coatings contain active agents and provide our
products with several potential advantages over traditional medical devices.
They offer a means of protecting the surface of a medical device from
contamination by pathogenic organisms, thereby minimizing the potential for
infection. Other coatings can serve as a reserve for local delivery
of active agents, enhancing a variety of biological functions such as bone
growth and pain management.
The
manufacturing and operations of the biologics and device divisions are organized
separately while products from both are marketed through several channels
including private label arrangements, independent distributors, joint
development projects and our direct sales network which we began to implement in
the last half of 2009. To date, we have established 13 regions with a
regional vice-president in charge of all activities within the region and have
hired and trained 52 sales representatives. Our customers are located
worldwide, with approximately 97% of our third quarter 2010 sales being derived
from customers located in the United States. Our headquarters,
laboratory and manufacturing facilities are located in Belgrade,
Montana.
Revenue
Model
We
generate revenue from a variety of sources, including the following: license
fees and royalties from collaborative product development efforts with medical
device manufacturers; sales from products developed and manufactured by us under
our own label; products manufactured by us under private labels for other device
distributing companies; and contract revenue from analytical testing and
development services provided to medical device manufacturer clients, which
tailor our coating process to the client’s specific product/medical
application. In order for us to recognize revenue from these sources,
the following criteria generally must be met:
|
·
|
we
have entered into a legally binding agreement with the customer for the
product or services;
|
|
·
|
the
products or services have been delivered by
us;
|
|
·
|
our
fee for providing the products or services is fixed and determinable;
and
|
|
·
|
our
fee is actually collectible.
|
We record
revenue net of any applicable sales, use, or excise taxes. If our
arrangement with the customer includes a right of acceptance or a right to
cancel, revenue is recognized when our products or services are accepted or when
the right to cancel has expired. We sell to certain customers
under consignment arrangements. Under these arrangements, revenue is
recorded on the date of sale. Revenue for research and development
services provided by us is recognized based upon our meeting certain performance
standards, such as incurring qualifying costs, as set forth in the specific
arrangement governing the provision of such services.

Revenue
Total
revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased by
$2,809,169, or 203%, to $4,191,986, compared to $1,382,817 in the three months
ended September 30, 2009. The increase related primarily to the
implementation of a direct sales force effort in July 2009. Prior to
that time, we utilized a distributor model with a limited direct sales
force.
Cost
of tissue sales
Costs of
revenue consist primarily of tissue and device manufacturing
costs. Costs of revenue decreased by 27%, or $262,263, to
$711,173 for the three months ended September 30, 2010, from $973,436 for the
three months ended September 30, 2009. Cost of revenue decrease was
the result of an inventory adjustment of
approximately $669,000 which resulted an increase in cost of tissue
sales recorded in the third quarter of 2009 partially offset by the increase in
cost of tissue sales resulting from the above noted revenue
increases. Our third quarter 2010 gross profit margin of 83% compared
to 30% for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses include general and administrative expenses, selling and marketing
expenses, depreciation, and compensation costs, including incentive compensation
and non cash stock based compensation. Operating expenses
increased 159%, or $3,420,062, to $5,565,910 for the three months
ended September 30, 2010 from $2,145,848 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009, primarily due to the reasons set forth below.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist principally of corporate personnel
compensation related costs and corporate expenses for legal, accounting and
other professional fees as well as occupancy costs. General and administrative
expenses increased 46%, or $672,092, to $2,141,028, for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 compared to $1,468,936 for the three months ended
September 30, 2009. The increase is largely associated with
increased salaries and wages and legal, professional fees
and insurance expense associated with being a public company.
Selling
and Marketing
Selling
and marketing expenses include sales based compensation expense and primarily
consist of costs for trade shows, sales conventions and meetings, travel
expenses, advertising and other non-personnel sales and marketing related
costs. Selling and marketing expenses increased 533%, or $1,953,619
to $2,320,446 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $366,827 for
the third quarter of 2009. The increases were primarily the result of
increased personnel costs associated with the development of a direct
sales force. In addition, travel costs associated with the larger
sales force and a substantial increase in marketing and advertising
activities were incurred in 2010.
Depreciation
Depreciation
expense consists of depreciation of long-lived property and equipment.
Depreciation expenses decreased 8% to $152,994 for the three months ended
September 30, 2010 from $166,964 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
This decrease was a result of certain assets becoming fully
depreciated.
Stock
Options/Restricted Stock Compensation Expense
Stock
options compensation expense consists of non-cash based stock compensation
expense and non-cash expense associated with granting restricted stock to
consultants. Stock options/restricted stock compensation expense
increased 565%, or $808,321, to $951,442 for the three months ended September
30, 2010 from $143,121 in the comparable period of the prior
year. This increase was primarily due to the granting
of restricted shares to consultants during the third quarter of 2010
and an increase in the number of stock options granted to
employees.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense is from our notes payable and convertible debt instruments. Certain of
our notes payable, in addition to accruing interest, had beneficial conversion
features, whereby the holder of the note converted the principal and all accrued
interest into common stock at a price of $1.44 per share, a discount of $.16 per
share to the private placement price. Interest expense (income) for
the three months ended September 30, 2010 increased 18% to $160,289, as compared
to $135,715 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.
Change in Warrant Derivitive
Liability
For the quarter, the Company recorded a non cash
charge of $6,731,857 associated with the issuance of warrants as part of its
convertible debt financing, based upon the closing price of the Company's common
stock on September 30, 2010.

Revenue
Total
revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 95% to
$10,129,519 compared to $5,203,236 in the comparable prior year period. The
increase of $4,926,283 was largely the result of
transitioning the sales model in the second half of 2009 from a distributorship
model with a limited direct sales force to a direct sales force
model.
Cost
of tissue Sales
Costs of
revenue consist primarily of tissue and device manufacturing
costs. Costs of revenue increased by 12% or $201,412 to $1,832,967
from $1,631,555 for the nine months ended September 30,
2009. Cost of revenue increase was the result of increased costs
associated with our higher sales partially offset by an inventory adjustment of
$669,000 recorded in the third quarter of 2009. Our gross profit margin for the
nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 82% compared to 69% for the comparable
prior year period.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses include general and administrative expenses, selling and marketing
expenses, depreciation, research and development expenses, and compensation
costs, including incentive compensation. Operating expenses increased
124%, or $7,122,707, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 2009, primarily due to the reasons set forth
below.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses consist principally of corporate personnel
compensation related costs and corporate expenses for legal, accounting and
other professional fees as well as occupancy costs. General and administrative
expenses increased 55%, or $2,035,423, to $5,741,315, for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 compared to 2009. The increase is largely
associated with increased personnel costs as well as legal and
professional fees incurred between the two periods.
Selling
and Marketing
Selling
and marketing expenses include sales based compensation expense and primarily
consist of costs for trade shows, sales conventions and meetings, travel
expenses, advertising and other sales and marketing related costs. Selling and
marketing expenses increased 388%, or $4,344,435, to $5,465,431 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2010 from $1,120,996 for the comparable prior year
period. As a percentage of revenue, selling and marketing expenses increased to
54% in 2010 from 22% in the prior year. The increases were primarily
the result of increased commissions and travel costs associated with the larger
sales force as well as a substantial increase in marketing and advertising
activities in 2010 as part of our switch to a direct sales force model from a
distributorship model.
Depreciation
Depreciation
expense consists of depreciation of long-lived property and equipment.
Depreciation expense remained relatively unchanged, decreasing to $457,156 for
the nine months ended September 30, 2010 from $495,218 in
the comparable prior year period..
Stock
Options/Restricted Stock Compensation Expense
Stock
options compensation expense consists of non-cash based stock compensation
expense and non-cash expense associated with granting restricted stock to
consultants. Stock options/restricted stock compensation expense
increased $780,911 to $1,227,871 for the nine months ended September
30, 2010 from $446,960 in the comparable year period. As a percentage
of revenues, stock options compensation expense for the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 was 12%, compared to 9% in the prior
year due to the granting of restricted shares to consultants during the third
quarter of 2010.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense is from our promissory notes and convertible debt
instruments. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
increased 102%, to $680,418, as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 2009. The increase was the result of interest
expense associated with the incurrence of convertible debt during the last half
of 2009 and first half of 2010.
Change in Warrant Derivitive
Liability
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the
Company recorded a non cash charge of $6,826,533 associated with the issuance of
warrants as part of its convertible debt financing, based upon the closing price
of the Company's common stock on September 30, 2010.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since our
inception, we have historically financed our operations through operating cash
flows, as well as the private placement of equity securities and debt, and other
debt transactions. Most recently, on June 30 and July 30, 2010, we raised
approximately $9,272,000 through a private placement of equity securities and
conversion of a portion of a bridge loan financing. At
September 30, 2010, we had approximately $3,133,000 of cash and cash
equivalents and accounts receivables. In addition, we have access to
credit lines secured by certain of our accounts receivable
balances. At September 30, 2010, we had convertible notes payable of
approximately $400,000.
22
Net cash
used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was
$5,889,896 This was primarily related to cash used to fund our
operations as well as an increase of accounts receivable of approximately
$1,287,420 and an increase in our inventory balance of approximately
$1,981,835 For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, net cash
used in operating activities was $2,083,645 due to a lower net loss compared to
2010 resulting from our decision to go to a direct sales effort in the second
half of 2009.
Net cash
provided by financing activities was $6,839,940 and $1,922,508 for the nine
months ended September, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The net cash provided from
financing activities during 2010 was primarily the result of the sale of
approximately $4,700,000 in convertible debt instruments and the issuance of
$5,095,934 of common stock, net of issuance costs, in connection with the above
referenced Reverse Merger and related financing transactions. These
amounts were partially offset by principal payments on outstanding loan and
lease obligations.
Off
Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to
have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial
condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity or capital
expenditures or capital resources that are material to an investor in our
shares.
Cash
Requirements
We
believe that our accounts receivable credit facilities as well as our
recent private placement of equity securities and cash flow from operations will
be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements through March 31,2011
based upon the expected revenue levels and results of our
operations. If we do not meet our revenue objectives over that
period, we may need to sell additional equity securities, which could result in
dilution to our stockholders, or seek additional loans. The
incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations
and could require us to agree to operating and financial covenants that would
restrict our operations. Financing may not be available in amounts or on terms
acceptable to us, if at all. Any failure by us to raise additional
funds on terms favorable to us, or at all, could limit our ability to expand our
business operations and could harm our overall business prospects.

4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We
maintain a system of disclosure controls and procedures for financial reporting
to give reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our
reports submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the
rules and forms of the SEC. These controls and procedures also give reasonable
assurance that information required to be disclosed in such reports is
accumulated and communicated to management to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosures.
Our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer, together with
management, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure
controls and procedures as of September 30, 2010, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(e) of
the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) were effective
such that information relating to the Company, including our consolidated
subsidiary, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports, (i) is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time frames specified in SEC rules
and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Company management,
including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate to allow timely discussion regarding disclosure.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have
previously reported in our prior periodic reports that, after conducting an
evaluation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is
defined in Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “Exchange Act”), our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective
to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us
in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and
forms. We further indicated in our 10-Q filed November 13, 2009 for
the quarter ended September 30, 2009, our first periodic report, that the reason
for this was that our finances would not allow us to hire sufficient accounting
staff or to implement appropriate procedures for the monitoring and review of
our financial reporting function.
23
However,
as a result of the closing of the Reverse Merger on June 30, 2010 (See Item 2 -
Management Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation - Background and our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on
July 7, 2010), in which all of our directors and officers were replaced and we
changed our business from selling emergency preparedness kits to biomaterials
research, development, and commercialization (the business of the company that
effectively acquired us in the Reverse Merger), we have remedied our prior
internal control deficiencies as we now have, among other things, a
sophisticated board of directors and principal financial officer with
substantial public company and accounting experience, as well as sufficient
accounting staff and other resources, including access to outside
accountants. In addition, we have now put into place numerous
internal controls over financial reporting as of the last day of the quarter
ended June 30, 2010 which did not previously exist. We believe these
changes will materially affect, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,
our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control
over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A
control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be
met. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control
systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues
and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These
inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can
be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Controls also can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by
collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The
design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about
the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future
conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future
periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because
of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with
policies or procedures.
