SERACARE LIFE SCIENCES, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed financial statements of SeraCare Life Sciences, Inc. (“SeraCare” or the “Company”) for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 presented herein have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. In addition, the September 30, 2009 unaudited condensed Balance Sheet was derived from the audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2009 and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. The accounting policies used in preparing these unaudited condensed financial statements are materially consistent with those described in the audited September 30, 2009 financial statements.
The financial information in this report reflects, in the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary to present fairly the results for the interim period. Quarterly operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending September 30, 2010.
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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Judgments and estimates of uncertainties are required in applying the Company’s accounting policies in many areas. Following are some of the areas requiring significant judgments and estimates: revenue recognition, cost of revenue, accounts receivable, inventory, accrued expenses and other liabilities, cash flow and valuation assumptions in performing asset impairment tests of long-lived assets, income taxes and stock-based compensation value.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) provided guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities which applies whenever other guidance requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value in any new circumstances. The guidance clarifies that for items that are not actively traded, such as certain kinds of derivatives, fair value should reflect the price in a transaction with a market participant, including an adjustment for risk, not just the company’s mark-to-market value. The guidance also requires expanded disclosure of the effect on earnings for items measured using unobservable data. Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. The FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, the guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, such as the reporting entity’s own data. Under the guidance, fair value measurements are separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The FASB agreed to defer the effective date of the guidance for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2008 for assets and liabilities not subject to the deferral and on October 1, 2009 for all other assets and liabilities. The guidance did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB revised its guidance for business combinations. Under the revised guidance, an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. The guidance will change the accounting treatment for certain items as follows:
| • | | acquisition costs will be generally expensed as incurred; |
|
| • | | noncontrolling interests will be valued at fair value at the acquisition date; |
|
| • | | acquired contingent liabilities will be recorded at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequently measured at either the higher of such amount or the amount determined under existing guidance for non-acquired contingencies; |
7
| • | | in-process research and development will be recorded at fair value as an indefinite-lived intangible asset at the acquisition date until the completion or abandonment of the associated research and development efforts; |
|
| • | | restructuring costs associated with a business combination will be generally expensed subsequent to the acquisition date; and |
|
| • | | changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances and income tax uncertainties after the acquisition date generally will affect income tax expense. |
The revised guidance also includes a substantial number of new disclosure requirements. The revised guidance applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009. The guidance did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued guidance which establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this guidance requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. The guidance clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this guidance requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. The guidance also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company adopted this guidance on October 1, 2009. The guidance did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.
3. Inventory
Inventory consists primarily of human blood plasma and products derived from human blood plasma. Inventory is carried at specifically identified cost and assessed periodically to ensure it is valued at the lower of cost or market. The Company reviews inventory periodically for impairment based upon factors related to age, historical scrap rates, usability and fair market value and provides a reserve where necessary to ensure the inventory is appropriately valued. A provision has been made to reduce excess and not readily marketable inventories to their estimated net realizable value.
Inventory consists of the following:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2010 | | | September 30, 2009 | |
Raw materials and supplies | | $ | 1,227,650 | | | $ | 1,623,148 | |
Work-in process | | | 1,132,101 | | | | 813,874 | |
Finished goods | | | 8,695,856 | | | | 9,059,860 | |
| | | | | | |
Gross inventory | | | 11,055,607 | | | | 11,496,882 | |
Reserve for obsolete inventory | | | (2,089,695 | ) | | | (2,789,945 | ) |
| | | | | | |
Net inventory | | $ | 8,965,912 | | | $ | 8,706,937 | |
| | | | | | |
4. Impairment of Goodwill
The Company performed its annual impairment test as of March 31, 2010 and concluded that no impairment was required.
Due to the economic downturn, the turmoil in the financial markets and the associated decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization, the Company tested goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2008. At that time, the Company revised its future cash flow projections as revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2008 was lower than expected due to the economic downturn. As a result during the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge to goodwill in the amount of $15.1 million which related to its Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products segment. This represented the entire balance of goodwill related to the Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products segment. The Company determined the fair value of this segment under various methodologies including performing a discounted cash flow analysis as well as allocating the Company’s market capitalization to each segment according to revenue. Using a discounted cash flow model requires a number of assumptions about future cash flows and related costs necessary to generate such estimated cash flows. Using what management believed were reasonable assumptions based on the best information available as of the testing date, the value of the BioServices segment was found to be in excess of its carrying
8
value, and therefore the related goodwill was not impaired. The remaining goodwill of $4.3 million relates to the BioServices segment. There was no impairment charge associated with the BioServices segment as it is service driven and has fewer assigned assets which have a lower carrying amount as compared to the Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products segment which requires more assets to manufacture and sell products.
The Company will continue to test goodwill for impairment as part of its annual impairment testing and as events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved from time to time in litigation incidental to the conduct of the Company’s business, but the Company is not currently a party to any material lawsuit or proceeding.
6. Leases
On October 1, 2007, the Company entered into a lease agreement pursuant to which the Company is leasing approximately 60,000 rentable square feet in three buildings in a business park in Milford, Massachusetts. This lease expires in January 2018. During fiscal 2008, the landlord reimbursed the Company $1.2 million for leasehold improvements. The Company has recorded the $1.2 million as a deferred lease liability which is recognized over the term of the lease using the straight-line method. The Company is also accounting for the lease expense using the straight-line method which results in a deferred lease liability. As of both June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, the total deferred lease liability for this facility was $1.4 million.
In addition, the Company is currently leasing properties in Frederick, Maryland and Gaithersburg, Maryland. These operating leases expire July 2015 and October 2017, respectively, and currently consist of approximately 65,000 square feet and 36,000 square feet, respectively. These properties include laboratories, refrigerated storage facilities and administrative offices. These leases are accounted for as operating leases using the straight-line method. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, our landlord reimbursed the Company $0.5 million for leasehold improvements at our Gaithersburg facility. The Company has recorded the $0.5 million as a deferred lease liability which is recognized over the term of the lease using the straight-line method. As of June 30, 2010, the total deferred lease liability for these facilities was $1.0 million as compared to $1.1 million as of September 30, 2009. The Company also leases various equipment under capital leases.
7. Assets Held For Sale
On October 1, 2007, the Company signed a lease agreement which enabled it to consolidate all of its Massachusetts operations into its state-of-the-art Milford facility during the year ended September 30, 2008. The Company sold its West Bridgewater facility and land for $1.4 million ($1.3 million net of selling expenses) during January 2010, at which time the Company repaid the real property mortgage note in its entirety.

11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share is calculated by considering the dilutive impact of common stock equivalents (e.g., outstanding stock options) under the treasury stock method as if they were converted into common stock as of the beginning of the period or as of the date of grant, if later.
The following table sets out the computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share:

12. Segment Information
The Company’s business is divided into two segments: Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products and BioServices. SeraCare’s Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products segment includes two types of products: controls and panels, which include the
11
manufacture of products used for the evaluation and quality control of infectious disease testing in hospital and clinical testing labs and blood banks, and byin vitrodiagnostic manufacturers; and reagents and bioprocessing products, which include the manufacture and supply of biological materials used in the research, development and manufacturing of human and animal diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines. The BioServices segment includes biobanking, sample processing and testing services for research and clinical trials, and contract research services in molecular biology, virology, immunology and biochemistry. These reportable segments are strategic business lines that offer different products and services and require different marketing strategies.
The Company utilizes multiple forms of analysis and control to evaluate the performance of the segments and to evaluate investment decisions. Gross profit is deemed to be the most significant measurement of performance, and administrative expenses are not allocated or reviewed by management at the segment level. Segments are expected to manage only assets completely under their control. Accordingly, segment assets include primarily accounts receivable, inventory, property plant and equipment and goodwill and do not include assets identified as general corporate assets. Amortization of intangibles is not allocated to the segment level, and accordingly has not been included in this data. The following segment information has been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s financial statements.
The Company’s segment information for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

13. Fair Value Measurements
The FASB Accounting Standards Codification defines fair value and establishes a hierarchy for reporting the reliability of input measurements used to assess fair value for all assets and liabilities. Fair value is defined as the selling price that would be received for an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in the principal or most advantageous market on the measurement date. The hierarchy prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used in the valuation technique. The inputs are categorized into the following levels:
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — Directly or indirectly observable inputs for quoted and other than quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in active or non-active markets
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs not corroborated by market data, therefore requiring the entity to use the best available information available in the circumstances, including the entity’s own data
The following table represents the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Company’s financial statements as of June 30, 2010 and the valuation approach applied to each.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Level 1 | | Level 2 | | Level 3 | | Balance |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 12,673,729 | | | $ | — | | | $ | — | | | $ | 12,673,729 | |
At June 30, 2010, the fair value of the assets measured and classified within Level 1 was based on quoted prices.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are recognized at fair value subsequent to initial recognition when they are deemed to be impaired. As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s assets and liabilities subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are property and equipment and goodwill. Neither was deemed to be impaired and measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended and as of June 30, 2010.

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009
Revenue
The following table sets forth segment revenue in millions of dollars for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | | June 30, | | | Percent | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | change | |
Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products | | $ | 9.1 | | | $ | 8.8 | | | | 4 | % |
BioServices | | | 3.9 | | | | 3.0 | | | | 28 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Total revenue | | $ | 13.0 | | | $ | 11.8 | | | | 10 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2010 increased by 10%, or $1.2 million, to $13.0 million from $11.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products revenue during the same period increased by $0.3 million, a 4% increase due to strong demand for our bioprocessing products from our top customers.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, revenue for our BioServices segment increased by $0.9 million, a 28% increase, to $3.9 million from $3.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009. The BioServices segment benefited from increased government funding of scientific research which has resulted in additional services provided directly to the government as well as services provided to commercial customers who have received government funding.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin increased to 39% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 36% in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Our Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products gross profit margin increased to 48% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 41% in the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to lower raw material costs and process improvements.
Our BioServices gross profit margin decreased to 18% in the three months ended June 30, 2010 from 21% in the three months ended June 30, 2009. BioServices gross profit margin decreased as a result of the growth in lower margin government business as compared to higher margin commercial business.
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense totaled $0.2 million, or 2% of revenue for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. We have held research and development spending flat while remaining focused on our priority projects.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $3.5 million, or 27% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2010, from $3.3 million, or 28% of revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is primarily due to $0.3 million of expenses for professional services related to exploring potential transactions for the Company during the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Operating Income
Operating income resulted from the factors above and included stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. Operating income was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010, which included $0.3 million each of stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization, as compared to operating income of $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, which included $0.3 million each of stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization.
14
Interest Expense and Other Income
Interest expense was nominal during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009. During the three months ended June 30, 2010, our debt consisted solely of capital leases as we repaid our mortgage note during January 2010. Other income was nominal during each of the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a tax provision of $0.1 million related to a reserve for a state tax receivable which is currently under audit. We recorded a nominal tax benefit during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Net Income and Earnings Per Share
As a result of the above, net income was $1.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2010, compared to net income of $0.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2009. Earnings per share on a basic and diluted basis was $0.07 in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to earnings per share of $0.04 in the three months ended June 30, 2009. If we had not incurred the $0.3 million of expenses related to exploring potential transactions, the basic and diluted earnings per share would have increased by $0.02 per share for the three months ended June 30, 2010.
Comparison of nine months ended June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009
Revenue
The following table sets forth segment revenue in millions of dollars for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | | June 30, | | | Percent | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | | | change | |
Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products | | $ | 25.8 | | | $ | 23.8 | | | | 8 | % |
BioServices | | | 11.3 | | | | 8.1 | | | | 39 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Total revenue | | $ | 37.1 | | | $ | 31.9 | | | | 16 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Revenue for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 increased by 16%, or $5.2 million, to $37.1 million from $31.9 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products revenue during the same period increased by $2.0 million, an 8% increase. Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products revenue included sales from therapeutic grade human serum albumin products of $0.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $0.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. These sales have historically been variable and we are building a new customer base as a result of switching suppliers in December 2007.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, revenue for our BioServices segment increased by $3.2 million, a 39% increase, to $11.3 million from $8.1 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The BioServices segment benefited from increased government funding of scientific research which has resulted in additional services provided directly to the government as well as services provided to commercial customers who have received government funding.
Gross Profit
Gross profit margin increased to 42% in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from 32% in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Our Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products gross profit margin increased to 52% in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from 37% in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is due to lower raw material costs and a reduction in manufacturing expenses due to the consolidation of our manufacturing facility.
Our BioServices gross profit margin increased to 20% in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 from 18% in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The increase is due to the higher revenue base over which our costs are spread, including an increase in commercial services which have a higher gross profit margin.
15
Research and Development Expense
Research and development expense totaled $0.5 million, or 2% of revenue, in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $0.9 million, or 3% of revenue, in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Our customers have increased their product development requests, resulting in lower research and development expense as our scientists have been working on these billable customer projects. In addition, during the latter half of fiscal 2009, we controlled spending by focusing on priority projects. As a result, research and development spending has decreased during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $10.2 million, or 27% of revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2010, from $10.3 million, or 32% of revenue in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we have focused on improving our operating processes and have decreased discretionary spending from the nine months ended June 30, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we collected previously written-off receivables, resulting in recoveries to bad debt, negotiated lower pricing for various services and reduced spending in sales and marketing. These savings were partially offset by $0.6 million for professional services related to exploring potential transactions for the Company.
Impairment of Assets
The Company performed its annual impairment test as of March 31, 2010 and concluded that no impairment was required.
Due to the economic downturn, the turmoil in the financial markets and the associated decline in the Company’s stock price and market capitalization, the Company tested goodwill for impairment as of December 31, 2008. At that time, the Company revised its future cash flow projections as revenue during the three months ended December 31, 2008 was lower than expected due to the economic downturn. As a result during the three months ended December 31, 2008, the Company recorded an impairment charge to goodwill in the amount of $15.1 million which related to its Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products segment. This represented the entire balance of goodwill related to the Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products segment. The remaining goodwill of $4.3 million on the balance sheets relates to the BioServices segment. There was no impairment charge associated with the BioServices segment as it is service driven and has fewer assigned assets which have a lower carrying amount as compared to the Diagnostic & Biopharmaceutical Products segment which requires more assets to manufacture and sell products.
The Company will continue to test goodwill for impairment as part of its annual impairment testing or as events occur that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying value.
Loss Related to Assets Held for Sale
Due to a softening in the real estate market, we recorded a loss of $0.6 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 related to an impairment to write-down the assets to their fair value less costs to sell. We estimated the fair value of the West Bridgewater facility and land based on the lower of its listing price and an independent third party appraisal. We had listed the facility and land at a price less than the appraised value due to our desire to sell the assets in a short amount of time. We sold these assets for $1.4 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Operating Income (loss)
Operating income (loss) resulted from the factors above and included stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization. Operating income was $4.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, which included stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization totaling $1.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as compared to operating loss of $16.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, which included an impairment of goodwill, loss related to assets held for sale, stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization totaling $15.1 million, $0.6 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Interest Expense and Other Income
Interest expense was $0.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to $0.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense included $0.2 million for the write-off of unamortized deferred financing expenses and a termination fee related to the Credit and Security Agreement with GE Capital which we terminated in October 2009. Other income was $0.1 million for each of the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 which
16
related primarily to the collection of royalty payments from the sale of certain assets of our Genomics Collaborative division which occurred in 2007.
Income Tax (Benefit) Expense
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we recorded a state tax provision of $0.1 million offset by a federal tax benefit of $0.1 million. The state tax provision related to a reserve for a state tax receivable which is currently under audit. The federal tax benefit is due to federal tax law changes which allowed us to amend a prior return and utilize our net operating loss carry-forwards to recover alternative minimum tax payments. We recorded a nominal tax provision during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.
Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Share
As a result of the above, net income was $4.7 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a net loss of $16.8 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Earnings per share on a basic and diluted basis was $0.25 and $0.24, respectively, in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to net loss per share on a basic and diluted basis of $0.91 in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. If we had not incurred the $0.6 million of expenses related to exploring potential transactions, the basic and diluted earnings per share would have increased by $0.03 per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash over the nine month periods indicated (in millions):
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | | June 30, | |
| | 2010 | | | 2009 | |
Net cash provided by operating activities | | $ | 6.9 | | | $ | 1.0 | |
Net cash provided by investing activities | | | 1.0 | | | | — | |
Net cash used in financing activities | | | (1.4 | ) | | | (0.2 | ) |
| | | | | | |
Net increase in cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 6.5 | | | $ | 0.8 | |
| | | | | | |
As of June 30, 2010, our cash balance was $12.7 million, an increase of $6.5 million from our cash balance as of September 30, 2009. We had a current ratio of 5.4 to 1 as of June 30, 2010 compared to 4.7 to 1 as of September 30, 2009. Total liabilities as of June 30, 2010 were $7.8 million compared to $8.3 million as of September 30, 2009. The total debt to equity ratio was 0.2 to 1 as of June 30, 2010 compared to 0.3 to 1 as of September 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, our debt has decreased to less than $0.1 million.
We believe our current cash on hand combined with expected future operating cash flows will be sufficient to meet our future operating cash needs.
Operating Cash Flows
Cash provided by operating activities was $6.9 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010, an improvement of $5.9 million compared to cash provided of $1.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we had net income of $4.7 million, which included non-cash charges of approximately $2.6 million, primarily related to stock based compensation of $1.3 million, depreciation and amortization of $0.8 million and inventory write-downs of $0.5 million. In addition, our accounts receivable, inventory and accrued expenses increased $0.6 million, $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable is due to higher revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in inventory is due to the projected increase in our sales for the remainder of fiscal 2010. Accrued expenses increased $0.9 million, primarily due to the deferral of revenue on our government contracts due to our indirect billing rate. The indirect billing rate currently applied to government contract invoices is based on our prior year rate which is higher than our calculated indirect billing rate for fiscal 2010. The government is currently in the process of reviewing our indirect billing rate calculation for fiscal 2010.
Investing Cash Flows
Cash provided by investing activities was $1.0 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to nominal cash provided in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we realized $1.3 million from the sale of our West
17
Bridgewater facility and land and invested $0.3 million in equipment. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we received $0.5 million from our landlord for renovations at our Gaithersburg, Maryland facility which was offset by spending for renovations at our Frederick, Maryland facility as well as for various equipment. During each of the nine month periods ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we received $0.1 million in royalty payments related to the sale of certain assets of our Genomics Collaborative division which occurred in 2007.
Financing Cash Flows
Cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to cash used of $0.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we made debt payments of $1.5 million, primarily for the mortgage note which we repaid in full when we sold our West Bridgewater facility. Throughout the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we utilized the GE Capital revolving credit facility and received proceeds of $19.7 million. We made payments of $19.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 for the revolving credit facility, mortgage note and various capital leases.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we were not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rate and Market Risk.As of June 30, 2010, we had no assets or liabilities subject to risks from interest rate changes. Our cash and cash equivalents were held in non-interest bearing deposit accounts. Since interest rates are low, this strategy generates a higher savings to bank fees than the interest income that would have been earned in an interest bearing account.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk.The Company does not believe that it currently has material exposure to foreign currency exchange risk because all international sales are designated in U.S. dollars.
We were not a party to any derivative financial instruments at June 30, 2010.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and Item 307 of Regulation S-K require management to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of each fiscal quarter.
