Note 1 - Company Organization and Description
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s April 30, 20172021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2018 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Biosynergy, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois on February 9, 1976. It isPrior to selling substantially all of its assets as described below, it was primarily engaged in the development and marketing of medical, consumer and industrial thermometric and thermographic products that utilize cholesteric liquid crystals. The Company’s primary product, the HemoTempRHemoTemp® II Blood Monitoring Device, accounted for approximately 91.03%83.41% of the sales during the quarternine months ending January 31, 20182022 and 92.18%89.74% during the nine month periodmonths ending January 31, 2018.2021. The products are sold to hospitals, clinical end-users, laboratories and product dealers located throughout the United States.
Note 2 -2-Liquidation and Dissolution
On November 23, 2021 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with LCR Hallcrest, LLC (“Hallcrest”) for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets to Hallcrest (the “Transaction”). The Agreement contemplated the Transaction would be implemented through legal proceedings pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the Illinois Business Corporations Act (“BCA”). On November 24, 2021, Biosynergy filed a verified complaint (the “Complaint”) with the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, (the ”Court”), Case No. 2021CH05951 seeking a judicial dissolution and sale of Biosynergy’s assets pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the BCA. The complaint alleged that Biosynergy is a small publically traded company that has run out of viable options to continue in business for the benefit of its shareholders, or for the medical customers it serves.
On December 28, 2021, the Court entered an order finding that Biosynergy has established “dissolution is reasonably necessary because the business of the corporation can no longer be conducted to the general advantage of its shareholders.” The Court ordered Articles of Dissolution to be filed in accordance with BCA Section 12.20 and authorized and empowered Biosynergy to wind-down its business consistent with BCA Section 12.30. On January 18, 2022, the Company sold substantially all of its assets to Hallcrest, except for cash on hand and accounts receivable, and discontinued operations. Hallcrest paid a purchase price of $1,504,496 in cash for the assets (of which $150,000 was paid into an indemnification escrow account to be held for 6 months as security for damages caused by a breach of representations and warranties in the Agreement by the Company). The Company retained all liabilities consisting of trade payables, rent and utilities for its facility, and all transaction expenses related to the Transaction. The Company plans to change the name of the Company (as required under the Agreement) and file Articles of Dissolution prior to March 31, 2022. Shortly thereafter, the Company intends to deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company will distribute the proceeds from the sale of its assets and available cash less transaction expenses, income taxes and the expenses related to dissolving the Company to its shareholders after release of the funds in the indemnification escrow account described above.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Contemporaneously with the intent to dissolve and sell the business, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective on November 23, 2021. The liquidation basis of accounting will continue to be used by the Company until such time that the dissolution is completed and all net cash has been distributed to its shareholders.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying amounts of assets as of the close of business on November 23, 2021, the date of the sale of the Company’s assets and cessation of business, were adjusted to their estimated net realizable values and liabilities, including the estimated costs associated with implementing the dissolution, were stated at their estimated settlement amounts.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the valuations of assets at their net realizable values and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amounts represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances associated with carrying out the dissolution based on the assumptions set forth below. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the dissolution and liquidation are expected to differ from the amounts shown herein because of the inherent uncertainty of the estimates. Such differences may be material. In particular, the estimates of the Company’s liquidation costs will vary with the length of time it takes to collect outstanding receivables and the cost to distribute available cash to its shareholders. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the aggregate amount or timing of future distributions to shareholders, and no assurance can be given that the amount of liquidating distributions to be received will equal or exceed the estimate of amounts in liquidation presented in the accompanying Balance Sheets.
The estimated net costs to be incurred during liquidation, which are accrued, as of January 31, 2022 are as follows:
Rent | $ | 16,330 | ||
Compliance costs and income tax return preparation | $ | 10,000 | ||
Professional fees | $ | 155,000 | ||
Income taxes | $ | 267,965 | ||
Costs to be incurred during liquidation | $ | 449,295 |
These estimates are based on assumptions regarding the ultimate timing of distributions to its shareholders, but does not include any legal expenses, if any, that the Company might incur as a result of any legal proceedings. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted as projections and assumptions change.
Going Concern Basis of Accounting
For all periods prior to the plan to sell the Company’s assets on November 23, 2021, the Company’s financial statements are presented on the going concern basis of accounting. Such financial statements reflect the historical basis of assets and liabilities and historical results of operations for the period of May 1, 2021 to January 18, 2022.

Cash
The Company maintains all of its cash, including the cash proceeds from the sale of its assets, in various bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced on such accounts.
Receivables
Receivables are carried at original invoice less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowances for doubtful accounts by reviewing and identifying troubled accounts on a periodic basis and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding beyond the stipulated due date. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
Depreciation
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; renewals and betterments which significantly extend the useful lives of existing equipment are capitalized. Significant leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease; equipment is depreciated over three to ten years. Depreciation expense was $7,556$3,062 and $6,380$3,348 for the nine month periods ending January 31, 20182022 and 2017,2021, respectively.

Certain expenses, primarily insurance and income taxes, have been prepaid and will be used within one year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes netaccounts for revenue in accordance with Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step process to achieve that core principle and to determine when and how revenue is recognized.
The components as it relates to the Company are as follows:
The Company’s revenue was primarily generated from the sales revenueof products directly to customers or through distribution channels, based on purchase orders and not supply contracts providing for additional goods or services once the products are transferred to the customer. The Company believes its performance obligations were satisfied upon the shipment of productgoods to customers. The customers were billed at shipment, and revenue was recognized by the Company at that time.

Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
ASU No. 2014-09 requires that the Company recognize its sales return allowance on a gross basis rather than as a net liability. As such, the Company now recognizes a return asset for the right to recover the goods returned by the customer, measured at the former carrying amount of the products, less any expected recovery costs (recorded as an increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets), and a return liability for the amount of expected returns (recorded as an increase to other current liabilities). The Company’s analysis of sales returns over the past several years noted that sales returns are nominal and therefore no sales return allowance is deemed necessary.
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling fees billed to customer, if any, are netted against the related costs which are included in cost of sales. The net cost is not material.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes related primarily to differences in the methods of accounting for patents, inventories, certain accrued expenses and bad debt expenses for financial and income tax reporting purposes. The deferred income taxes represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be taxable in the future.
The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and with the state of Illinois. Various tax years remain open to examinations, generally for three years after filing, although there are currently no ongoing tax examinations. Management’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The provision for income taxes consists of the following components for the nine month periods ended January 31:

Patents related to products that have beenwere developed and were being marketed by the Company. Patents pending relate to products under development.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Per Common Share
Income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method in the calculation ofBasic and diluted earnings per share. The Company has no outstanding options or other rights to acquire its unissued common shares.
Comprehensive Income
Components of comprehensive income include amounts that are included in the comprehensive income but are excluded from net income. During the three and nine month periods ending January 31, 2018 and 2017, there were no differences between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income.

Note 7 – Lease Commitments
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842, its highly-anticipated leasing standard for both lessees and lessors.Leases. Under its core principle, a lessee will recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all arrangements with terms longer than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains largely consistent with existing U.S. GAAP. The amendments are effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. At inception, a lessee must classify all leases as either finance or operating. The Company intends to adopt Topic 842 upon extension of the current lease for its facilities in Elk Grove Village or upon entering into a new lease agreement for alternative facilities on or about May 1, 2018. The Company is investigating the effect of adoption of Topic 842 on its results of operations and financial condition. However, it is not anticipated that adoption of Topic 842 will have a material impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contract with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 and subsequent amendments supersede the revenue recognition requirements in ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standards as of May 1, 2018.

Item 2.Management’sManagement’s Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Recent Developments
Biosynergy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) on November 23, 2021 with LCR Hallcrest, LLC (“Hallcrest”) for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets to Hallcrest (the “Asset Sale”). The Agreement contemplated the Asset Sale would be implemented through legal proceedings pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the Illinois Business Corporations Act (“BCA”). On November 24, 2021, Biosynergy filed a verified complaint (the “Complaint”) with the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, (the ”Court”), Case No. 2021CH05951 seeking a judicial dissolution and sale of Biosynergy’s assets pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the BCA. The complaint alleged that Biosynergy is a small publically traded company that has run out of viable options to continue in business for the benefit of its shareholders, or for the medical customers it serves.
On December 28, 2021, the Court entered an order finding that Biosynergy has established “dissolution is reasonably necessary because the business of the corporation can no longer be conducted to the general advantage of its shareholders.” The Court ordered Articles of Dissolution to be filed in accordance with BCA Section 12.20 and authorized and empowered Biosynergy to wind-down its business consistent with BCA Section 12.30.
The Company completed the Asset Sale on January 18, 2022. The Company sold all of its assets in the Asset Sale except for cash on hand and accounts receivable. As consideration for the Asset Sale, Hallcrest paid a purchase price of $1,504,496 in cash (of which $150,000 was paid into an indemnification escrow account to be held for 6 months as security for damages caused by a breach of representations and warranties in the Agreement by the Company). The Company retained all liabilities consisting of trade payables, rent and utilities for the premises at 1940 E. Devon, Elk Grove Village, Illinois through April 30, 2022, and all transaction expenses related to the Asset Sale.
The Company plans to change the name of the Company (as required under the Agreement) and file Articles of Dissolution prior to March 31, 2022. Shortly thereafter, the Company intends to deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company plans to dissolve and distribute the proceeds from the Asset Sale and available cash, less the expenses of the Asset Sale, income taxes, and the expenses of dissolving the Company to its shareholders after release of the funds in the indemnification escrow account described above.
The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Asset Sale contemplated by the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2021, the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 5, 2022, the Current Report filed on Form 8-K filed on January 21, 2022, and the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2021, and is incorporated by reference herein.
For all periods prior to the asset sale agreement on November 23, 2021, the Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis of accounting. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective on November 23, 2021. The liquidation basis of accounting will continue to be used by the Company until such time that the dissolution is completed and all net cash has been distributed to its shareholders.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts, which estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Uncertainties as to the precise value of non-cash assets and the costs of winding down the Company make it impractical to predict the net value that will be available to distribute to the shareholders. Although we do not have a precise estimate of the costs that will be incurred to wind down the Company, management believes there is sufficient cash to pay all liabilities and expenses and make cash distributions to the shareholders. If adequate cash is not available to pay liabilities and the expenses to wind down the Company, estimated future distributions to shareholders will be reduced.
The Company reported in the accompanying financial statements that its net assets in liquidation aggregate are $2,461,111, or $16.47 per share, to distribute to its shareholders. The valuation of the net realizable value of the Company’s assets and the Company’s liabilities at their settlement amounts requires many estimates and assumptions. In addition, there are substantial risks and uncertainties associated the liquidation and winding down of the Company. The valuations set forth in the accompanying financial statements represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the value of assets and costs associated with the liquidation of the Company, and are subject to change.
Overview of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Going Concern Basis)
The Company was primarily engaged in the development and marketing of medical, consumer and industrial thermometric and thermographic products that utilize cholesteric liquid crystals prior to January 18, 2022.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. On December 12, 2001, the SEC issued FR-60 “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies.” FR-60 is an intermediate step to alert companies to the need for greater investor awareness of the sensitivity of financial statements to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying their preparation, including the judgments and
uncertainties affecting the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 23 to the Financial Statements for the 3rd Quarter. See “Financial Statements.” Except as noted below, the impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation would not have been materially different had the Company reported under different conditions or used different assumptions. The policies which may have materially affected the financial position and results of operations of the Company if such information had been reported under different circumstances or assumptions are:
BIOSYNERGY, INC.
Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
Lease Commitments - On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842, Leases. Under its core principle, a lessee will recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all arrangements with terms longer than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains largely consistent with existing U.S. GAAP. At inception, a lessee must classify all leases as either finance or operating. The Company classifies the lease for its facility in Elk Grove Village as an operating lease.
Revenue Recognition – The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance provides a five-step process to achieve that core principle and to determine when and how revenue is recognized.
Use of Estimates - preparationPreparation of financial statements and conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial condition of the Company and results of operations may differ from the estimates and assumptions made by management in preparation of the Financial Statements accompanying this report.
Allowance for Bad Debts - The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral to support amounts due from the sale of its products. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its best estimate of collectability of accounts receivable.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

The Company currently does not have any money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. Thus, the Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates.
