Obagi Medical Products, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
Obagi Medical Products, Inc. (the "Company") is a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the aesthetic and skin health markets. The Company develops and commercializes prescription-based, topical skin health systems. The Company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company markets the vast majority of its products through its own sales force throughout the United States, and through 20 distribution partners in 44 other countries in regions including North America, Europe, the Far East, the Middle East, Central America, and South America. Until April 13, 2009, the Company sold one of its products in the pharmacy Rx channel through an outside contract sales organization (Note 5). The Company also licenses certain non-prescription product concepts under the Obagi trademark to a large Japanese based pharmaceutical company for sale through consumer distribution channels in Japan.
Basis of Presentation
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) to fairly state the financial information contained therein. These statements do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for annual periods and should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company prepared the condensed consolidated financial statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by GAAP can be condensed or omitted. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2009 or any other period(s).
Note 2: Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 167 (“SFAS No. 167”), Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (“FIN 46(R)”), which among other changes, eliminates the quantitative approach previously required by FIN 46(R) for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This statement is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after November 15, 2009, with early adoption prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the effects, if any, that SFAS No. 167 may have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 (“SFAS No. 168”), The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles – a replacement of FAS No. 162. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("Codification") will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other nongrandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become nonauthoritative. Once the Codification is in effect, all of its content will carry the same level of authority, effectively superseding SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company believes that the adoption of SFAS No. 168 will not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 (“SFAS No. 165”), Subsequent Events, which is effective for the Company for the quarterly period ending June 30, 2009. SFAS No. 165 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. In particular, this Statement requires an entity (i) to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated, as well as whether that date is the date the financial statements were issued or the date the financial statements were available to be issued, (ii) to disclose some nonrecognized subsequent events to keep the financial statements from being misleading, and (iii) to consider supplementing the historical financial statement with pro forma financial data. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued Financial Statement Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 157-4 (“FSP No. FAS 157-4”), Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly, which among other things, provides additional guidance on the factors that should be considered in estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, when there has been significant decrease in market activity for a financial asset or liability as well as identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. The Company adopted the provisions of this issue
Obagi Medical Products, Inc.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
beginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP No. FAS 157-4 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 (“FSP No. FAS 115-2”), Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments, which amends existing guidance for determining whether an other than temporary impairment of debt securities has occurred. Among other changes, the FASB replaced the existing requirement that an entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert (i) it does not have the intent to sell the security, and (ii) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. The Company adopted the provisions of this issue beginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP No. FAS 115-2 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In April��2009, the FASB issued FSP No. FAS 107-1 and Accounting Principles Board ("APB") No. 28-1 (“FSP No. FAS 107-1”), Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, which requires an entity to provide the annual disclosures required by FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, in its interim financial statements. The Company adopted the provisions of this issue beginning April 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP No. FAS 107-1 did not have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded a loss on disposal of fixed assets of $55. The loss is reported as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials and finished goods manufactured both through contracted third party manufacturers and in-house and purchased from third parties and are valued at the lower of cost or market. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company changed its costing method from actual cost to standard costing, which approximates actual cost. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. Inventory reserves are established when conditions indicate that the selling price could be less than cost due to physical deterioration, usage, obsolescence, reductions in estimated future demand and reductions in selling prices. Inventory reserves are measured as the difference between cost of inventory and the estimated net realizable value. Provision for inventory reserves is charged to cost of sales. The Company's estimated inventory reserve is provided for in the condensed consolidated financial statements and actual reserve requirements approximated management's estimates.

As of June 30, 2009, amounts payable to distributor and contract termination costs relate to our SoluCLENZ product line, of which $857 was reclassified from deferred revenue (Note 5).
As of June 30, 2009, Other long-term liabilities of $829, $637, and $130 represent the long-term portion of the tenant improvement credit, deferred rent and the FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, liability, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, Other long-term liabilities of $879, $516, and $121 represents the long-term portion of the tenant improvement credit, deferred rent and the FIN 48 liability, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company corrected an error in its vacation accrual for the three months ended March 31, 2009 that decreased selling, general and administrative expenses and income before income taxes by approximately $62 and net income by approximately $38. There was no impact of the adjustment on earnings per share. Since the error was not material to any prior period, and is not expected to be material to the financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recorded the correction of the error during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Note 4: Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of trademarks, distribution rights, covenants not-to-compete, patents, customer lists, and proprietary formulations. Intangible assets are amortized over the expected period of benefit using the straight-line method over the following lives: trademarks (twenty years); distribution rights (ten years); covenants not-to-compete (seven years); other intangible assets (three to seventeen years).

Note 5: Exit of Pharmacy Rx Channel
In August 2008, the Company entered the pharmacy Rx channel for the first time by launching SoluCLENZ, a solubilized benzoyl peroxide gel for the treatment of acne, which was available only by prescription. The Company continually monitored the progress of the launch and the weekly sales data for SoluCLENZ. The Company determined that, based on available sales data, the distribution of a single prescription product through the pharmacy Rx channel and the ongoing investment to support that channel had become cost-prohibitive to the Company. On April 13, 2009, the Company announced that it would no longer sell SoluCLENZ in the pharmacy Rx channel.
In connection with the exit of the pharmacy Rx channel, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded charges approximating $353 and $769, respectively, related to contractual deposits, obsolete selling materials and other contract termination fees (included within “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income), primarily relating to the Company’s contract sales force that was dedicated to selling SoluCLENZ and the termination of certain contractual obligations related to SoluCLENZ. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company reserved approximately $440 in inventory (included within “Cost of sales” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income). During the three months ended June 30, 2009, no additional inventory reserve was required. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, revenue for the units dispensed during the period was recognized and the remaining deferred revenue was reclassified as amounts payable to distributors for product to be returned. The Company does not anticipate significant additional costs as a result of exiting the channel during the remainder of fiscal year 2009.
Note 6: Income taxes
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, unrecognized tax benefits, all of which affect the effective tax rate if recognized, were $123 and $176, respectively. Management does not anticipate that there will be a material change in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, accrued interest related to uncertain tax positions was $6 and $54, respectively.
The tax years 2004-2008 remain open to examination by the major taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.
Income taxes are determined using an annual effective tax rate, which generally differs from the United States federal statutory rate, primarily because of state taxes. The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities, along with net operating losses and credit carryforwards.
The effect on deferred taxes of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Income tax benefits credited to stockholders' equity relate to tax benefits associated with amounts that are deductible for income tax purposes but do not impact net income. These benefits are principally generated from employee exercises of non-qualified stock options.

Note 7: Related-Party Transactions
One of our largest shareholders, Dr. Zein Obagi, was a 70% beneficial shareholder in Cellogique Corporation ("Cellogique"), the Company's largest international distribution partner. Effective March 20, 2009, Dr. Obagi sold his entire interest in Cellogique. As a result, after the quarter ended March 31, 2009, Cellogique is not considered a related party and no sales amounts are included in the tables below for the three months ended June 30, 2009. In addition to his primary medical practice in Beverly Hills, California, Dr. Obagi is also a 75% owner of Obagi Dermatology – San Gabriel Annex, Inc. (“SGA”), who also purchases products from the Company. SGA is located in Southern California and caters to the local Chinese communities. Other than the ownership interest by Dr. Obagi, the Company is otherwise unrelated to SGA.
Total sales made to Dr. Obagi, Cellogique (through March 20, 2009) and SGA, and the related cost of sales for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, are included in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and are as follows:

Costs of sales | | | 16 | | | | 245 | | | | 75 | | | | 448 | |
Combined amounts due from Dr. Obagi, Cellogique and SGA for product purchases at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 are reflected in accounts receivable from related parties, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
| | June 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2009 | | | 2008 | |

Amounts payable to Dr. Obagi, who owns approximately 9.8% of the Company's outstanding stock as of June 30, 2009, for any annual payment or other services was $324 and $156, as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Amounts payable to Stonington Partners, Inc., the Company's largest stockholder owning approximately 21.6% of the Company's outstanding stock as of June 30, 2009 for expense reimbursement was $14 and $13, as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
Debt Compliance
As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009, the Company did not have an outstanding balance on its credit facility entered into in November 2008. However, as of November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January 31, 2009, the Company was not in technical compliance with its non-financial covenant requiring it to submit a listing of intellectual property to the lender each month. On February 18, 2009, a waiver was obtained by the Company for November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January 31, 2009. As of December 31, 2008, the Company was in compliance with all other financial and non-financial covenants. As of June 30, 2009, the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in litigation and other legal matters in the normal course of business. At this time, management does not believe that the outcome of any current matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Employment Agreements
On June 15, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Preston S. Romm, its Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Finance, Operations and Administration and Treasurer. Under the agreement, Mr. Romm is entitled to a base salary of $320 per year subject to annual cost of living increases or such greater increase as may be approved by the Board and an annual bonus of 60% of his base salary based upon achievement of certain Company and individual targets. Under the agreement, either Mr. Romm or the Company may terminate his employment at any time. If Mr. Romm is terminated for cause or terminates his own employment, he is entitled to no severance. If Mr. Romm is terminated without cause or for good reason, he is entitled to twelve months severance. In addition, in the event the company is sold in an all cash transaction, all of Mr. Romm’s outstanding options accelerate immediately prior to the closing of such transaction.
In the event the Company (or any successor in interest) fails to timely cure, Mr. Romm may resign upon expiration of the cure period. Mr. Romm is also subject to a confidentiality covenant and a covenant not to solicit any employee to leave the Company’s (or any successor in interest) employ during the term of any severance period following the date of termination. Any severance payment is conditioned upon execution by Mr. Romm of a release in form and substance satisfactory to the Company (or any successor in interest).
On June 15, 2009, the Company entered into amended and restated employment agreements with David S. Goldstein, the Company’s Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Field Marketing, and Laura B. Hunter, the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary. The terms of their amended and restated employment agreements are identical to Mr. Romm’s described above, with the exception of the following: (i) Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Hunter are entitled to an annual base salary of $295 and $260, respectively; (ii) Mr. Goldstein and Ms. Hunter are entitled to an annual bonus of 50% based upon achievement of certain Company and individual targets; and (iii) if Mr. Goldstein or Ms. Hunter are terminated without cause, they are entitled to six months severance. In the case of Ms. Hunter, she has no right to receive such severance payment until the one year anniversary of her date of employment which is September 3, 2009.
Note 9: Earnings per common share ("EPS")
The Company computes earnings per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings per Share. Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per common share is computed similar to basic earnings per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional potential common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common shares had been issued and if the additional potential common shares were dilutive. Potential common shares are excluded from the computation if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company's potential common shares consist of stock options and restricted stock awards issued under the Company's Stock Option Plans.
Under the treasury stock method, the assumed proceeds calculation includes: (i) the actual proceeds to be received from the employee upon exercise, (ii) the average unrecognized compensation cost during the period, and (iii) any tax benefits that will be credited upon exercise to additional paid-in capital. The Company determines whether its windfall pool of available excess tax benefits is sufficient to absorb the shortfall. As of June 30, 2009, the Company did not have a shortfall. If it had, the effect of the hypothetical deferred tax asset write-off would reduce the assumed proceeds in the treasury stock calculation. If there is no pool of available excess tax benefits, or if the amount of the pool is insufficient to absorb the entire hypothetical deficient tax deduction, the amount of the deficiency that is charged to income tax expense is not considered to be a reduction of the assumed proceeds. Currently, the Company has determined that it has a sufficient windfall pool available.
Basic and diluted earnings per common share were calculated using the following weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

Diluted earnings per share does not include the impact of common stock options, unvested restricted stock units and unvested restricted stock then outstanding of 2,426,432 and 1,935,687 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 2,441,432 and 1,361,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
Note 10: Stock Options
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company's Board of Directors, through its Compensation Committee, granted 63,000 and 356,000 options, respectively, under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan to employees of the Company, including officers, with exercise prices ranging from $4.69 to $6.92 per share, which was equal to or greater than the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Pursuant to the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (“2005 Plan”), on April 15, 2009, the Board of Directors replenished the 2005 Plan with 500,000 shares, for a total of 3,000,000 shares authorized for issuance, of which 1,507,150 shares are available for granting of additional options or issuance of shares. As of June 30, 2009, total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to unnvested stock options was approximately $2,330, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.20 years.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, there were 32,500 shares of restricted stock units that vested, all of which were granted by the Company’s Board of Directors under the 2005 Plan to executive officers of the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2008. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2009, 18,999 shares of restricted stock vested, all of which were granted under the 2005 Plan to the Company's Board of Directors in June 2008.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company granted 24,330 shares of restricted stock under the 2005 Plan to its Board of Directors, all of which will vest on June 11, 2010 assuming all directors remain on the Board. The resulting compensation expense from the restricted stock grants is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which equals the restricted stock vesting term of one year. The fair market value of the restricted stock granted was $7.40, which was based upon the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant.
Note 11: Segments
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires that the Company disclose certain information about its operating segments where operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Generally, financial information is required to be reported on the basis that is used internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.
As noted earlier, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company launched SoluCLENZ, which was the only product that the Company dispensed through the pharmacy Rx channel. On April 13, 2009, the Company announced it would no longer sell SoluCLENZ through the pharmacy Rx channel (Note 5). As a result, the Company now operates its business on the basis of two reportable segments (i) physician dispensed and (ii) licensing. The physician dispensed segment produces a broad range of topical skin health systems and products that enable physicians to sell products to their patients to treat a range of skin conditions, including pre-mature aging, photo-damage, hyperpigmentation, acne and soft tissue deficits, such as fine lines and wrinkles. The licensing segment includes revenues generated from licensing arrangements with international distributors that specialize in the distribution and marketing of over-the-counter (“OTC”) medical oriented products in the drug store, retail and aesthetic spa channels. Sales and gross profit previously reported in the pharmacy Rx operating segment are now classified as physician dispensed as part of the Therapeutic product category. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Management evaluates its segments on a revenue and gross profit basis, which is presented below. The United States information is presented separately as the Company's headquarters reside in the United States. United States sales represented 81% and 84% of total consolidated net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 83% and 84% of total consolidated net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. No other country or single customer accounts for over 10% of total Company consolidated net sales.

Overview and Recent Developments
The following discussion is intended to help the reader understand the results of operations and financial condition of Obagi Medical Products, Inc. This discussion is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements.
We are a specialty pharmaceutical company focused on the aesthetic and therapeutic skin health markets. We develop and commercialize prescription-based, topical skin health systems that enable physicians to treat a range of skin conditions, including pre-mature aging, photo-damage, hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea and soft tissue deficits, such as fine lines and wrinkles.
Current products. Our primary product line is the Obagi Nu-Derm® System, which we believe is the only clinically proven, prescription-based, topical skin health system on the market that has been shown to enhance the skin's overall health by correcting photo-damage at the cellular level, resulting in a reduction of the visible signs of aging. The primary active ingredients in this system are 4% hydroquinone and OTC skin care agents. In April 2004, we introduced the Obagi-C® Rx System consisting of a combination of prescription and OTC drugs and adjunctive cosmetic skin care products to treat skin conditions resulting from sun damage and the oxidative damage of free radicals. The central ingredients in this system are 4% hydroquinone and Vitamin C. In October 2005, we launched the Obagi® Professional-C products, a complete line of proprietary, non-prescription products, which consists of Vitamin C serums used to reduce the appearance of damage to the skin caused by ultraviolet radiation and other environmental influences. In July 2006, we launched our Obagi Condition & Enhance™ System, for use in conjunction with commonly performed cosmetic procedures including Botox® and dermal filler injections. In October 2006, we launched our first product in the ELASTIderm™ product line, an eye cream for improving the elasticity and skin tone around the eyes. We introduced the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.™ system and a second product in the ELASTIderm product line to address acne and skin elasticity around the eye, respectively, based on positive interim clinical results, in February 2007. In July 2007, we launched our second system in the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. line, Obagi CLENZIderm M.D. system II, which is specifically formulated for normal to dry skin. In August 2007, we launched two new Condition & Enhance Systems. One is designed specifically for use with non-surgical procedures while the other has been developed for use with surgical procedures. In February 2008, we launched Obagi ELASTIderm Décolletage, a system to treat skin conditions resulting from sun damage and improve the elasticity and skin tone for the neck and chest area. We also market tretinoin, used for the topical treatment of acne in the U.S., and Obagi Blue Peel® products, used to aid the physician in the application of skin peeling activities. In August 2008, we entered the pharmacy Rx channel with our first product, SoluCLENZ Rx Gel, a solubilized benzoyl peroxide gel for the treatment of acne. In April 2009, we announced our exit of the pharmacy Rx channel. In January 2009, we introduced the Obagi Rosaclear™ system, which is an all in one prescription based system that treats the signs and symptoms of rosacea.
Future products. We focus our research and new product development activities on improving the efficacy of established prescription and OTC therapeutic agents by enhancing the penetration of these agents across the skin barrier using our proprietary technologies collectively known as Penetrating Therapeutics™. There can be no assurance that we will be able to introduce any additional systems using these technologies.
U.S. distribution. We market all of our products through our direct sales force in the U.S. primarily to plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other physicians who are focused on aesthetic skin care.
Aesthetic skin care. As of June 30, 2009, we sold our products to over 5,900 physician-dispensing accounts in the U.S., with no single customer accounting for more than 5% of our net sales. We generated U.S. net sales of $21.0 million and $23.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $40.2 million and $44.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Retail Pharmacy Rx Channel. As noted earlier, we launched SoluCLENZ into the pharmacy Rx channel during the year ended December 31, 2008. We marketed SoluCLENZ through our dermatology sales force and an outside third party contract sales organization in the U.S. primarily to dermatologists. We sold SoluCLENZ to pharmaceutical wholesalers who then distributed directly to the pharmacy to fill patient prescriptions. On April 13, 2009, we announced that, after careful monitoring of the available sales data, we would no longer sell SoluCLENZ in the pharmacy Rx channel as the distribution of a single prescription product through the pharmacy channel and the ongoing investment to support that channel had become cost-prohibitive for us. We made this decision, after discussions with, and concurrence of, our Board of Directors. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we generated $0.1 million and $0.4 million in revenues related to SoluCLENZ, respectively, and incurred approximately $0.7 million and $2.2 million in expenses to support the product and the channel, respectively, which include costs to exit the channel.
In connection with the exit of the pharmacy Rx channel, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded charges approximating $0.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, related to contractual deposits and obsolete selling materials primarily relating to our contract sales force that was dedicated to selling SoluCLENZ and the termination of certain contractual obligations related to SoluCLENZ. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, we reserved approximately $0.4 million in inventory. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, no additional inventory reserve was required. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, revenue for the units dispensed during the period was recognized and the remaining deferred revenue was reclassified as amounts payable to distributors for product to be returned. We do not anticipate significant additional costs as a result of exiting the channel during the remainder of fiscal year 2009.
We continue to believe, based upon the compelling clinical data, that our patented solubilized BPO is a novel technology.
International distribution. We market our products internationally through 20 international distribution partners that have sales and marketing activities in 44 countries outside of the U.S. Much like our business model in the U.S., these distributors sell our products through direct sales representatives to physicians, or through alternative distribution channels depending on regulatory requirements and industry practices. We generated international net sales of $4.9 million and $4.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $8.3 million and $8.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Licensing. We market our products in the Japanese retail markets through a Trademark and Know-how license agreement with Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., LTD ("Rohto"). Under our agreement, Rohto is licensed to manufacture and sell a series of OTC products under the Obagi brand name in the Japanese drug store channel, and we receive a royalty based upon sales of Obagi branded products in Japan by Rohto. Rohto's Obagi branded products are sold through approximately 6,300 high-end drug stores. We have other licensing arrangements in Japan to market and sell OTC product systems under the Obagi brand, both for in-office use in facial procedures, as well as for sale as a take-home product kit in the spa channel. We receive royalties based upon these arrangements. We generated licensing revenue of $1.2 million and $1.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.0 million and $2.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Results of operations. As of June 30, 2009, we had accumulated earnings of $10.0 million. We reported net income of $2.8 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $3.5 million and $7.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Seasonality. Sales of our products have historically been higher between September and March. We believe this is due to increased product use and patient compliance during these months. We believe this increased usage and compliance relates to several factors such as higher patient tendencies toward daily compliance inversely proportionate to their tendency to travel and/or engage in other disruptive activities during summer months. Patient travel and other disruptive activities that affect compliance are at their peak during July and August. The effects of seasonality in the past have been offset by the launch of new products.
Economy. Many treatments in which our products are used are considered cosmetic in nature, are typically paid for by the patient out of disposable income and are generally not subject to reimbursement by third-party payers such as health insurance organizations. As a result, we believe that our current and future sales growth will, to some extent, be influenced by the economic conditions within the geographic markets in which we sell our products. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we saw the unprecedented economic conditions within the U.S. have a negative impact on our revenue performance. We believe that the economic downturn has reduced disposable income, which we believe has led to reduced patient visits to physician offices for aesthetic procedures and patients using less product per application to extend the time needed for obtaining refills of product from their physicians. The U.S. economic slow down effect was seen in all of our product categories, but was more pronounced within the Nu-Derm and Elasticity product lines. At this time, it is extremely difficult to measure the severity, length, geographic and financial impact of the economic downturn and its longer term impact on our product sales, but we will continue to monitor it closely. We believe that some of the negative impact may be partially offset due to the following: (i) the continued growth in our market share; (ii) the aesthetic nature of our products; (iii) the lower price point of our products compared to other aesthetic products and procedures in our market; (iv) the desire to maintain a healthy and youthful appearance; and (v) the demographics of the patients who use our products.
Future growth. We believe that our future growth will be driven by increased direct sales coverage, penetration into non-core markets such as other medical specialties, ongoing marketing efforts to create increased awareness of the Obagi brand and the benefits of skin health and new product offerings. We plan to continue to invest resources on the commercialization of new applications of our current products, the continuing development of our pipeline of products and the in-licensing or acquisition of new product opportunities. However, due to the uncertainties in the economic markets, our current business plan does not anticipate that we will invest significant resources in these strategic initiatives over the near term. As a result, we believe that our near-term on-going profitability is primarily dependent upon the continued success of our current product offerings.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, sales and expenses, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On a periodic basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, sales return reserve, accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and other intangible assets. We use historical experience and other assumptions as the basis for making estimates. By their nature, these estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. As a result, we cannot assure you that future actual results will not differ significantly from estimated results.
We believe that the estimates, assumptions and judgments involved in revenue recognition, sales returns and allowances, accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill and intangible assets, leases, stock-based compensation and accounting for income taxes have the greatest potential impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, so we consider these to be our critical accounting policies. Historically, our estimates, assumptions and judgments relative to our critical accounting policies have not differed materially from actual results. The critical accounting estimates associated with these policies are described in Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on March 11, 2009.
Results of operations
The three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2008
Net sales. The following table compares net sales by product line and certain selected products for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008. Our sales previously reported in the pharmacy Rx operating segment are now classified as physician dispensed as part of the Therapeutic product category. Prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

Net sales decreased by $1.9 million to $25.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $27.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Overall, we believe the economic conditions within the U.S. had a negative impact on our revenue performance during the three months ended June 30, 2009. We believe that the economic downturn has reduced disposable income, which we believe has led to reduced patient visits to physician offices for aesthetic products and procedures, and fewer such procedures being performed and products being purchased. The U.S. economic slow down effect was seen in all product categories, but was more pronounced within the Elasticity and Nu-Derm product lines.
Physician dispensed sales decreased $2.2 million, to $24.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $26.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decline was due to the following: (i) a decline in Nu-Derm sales of $2.5 million due to the continued slowdown of the economy; (ii) a $0.3 million decline in Elasticity sales; and (iii) a $0.1 million decline in Vitamin C sales. These declines were offset by: (i) an increase in the Therapeutic category of $0.6 million; and (ii) an increase of $0.1 million in the Other product category. The growth in the Therapeutic category was primarily attributable to the launch of our Rosaclear system, which contributed $0.6 million in sales and SoluCLENZ, which contributed $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009, and was offset by a decline of approximately $0.1 million in our CLENZIderm system sales. Licensing fees increased by $0.2 million.
Our aggregate sales decline was comprised of a $2.4 million decrease in the U.S. and offset by a $0.5 million increase from our International markets. The increase in International sales was primarily in the Elasticity category and primarily came from two regions: (i) an increase of $0.5 million from Europe and Other; and (ii) $0.3 million from the Far East Region; offset by a $0.5 million decrease from the Middle East. Our licensing fees increased $0.2 million primarily due to a product relaunch. We believe, depending upon its duration and severity, that a continued global economic slow down may negatively impact our future net sales.
Gross margin percentage. Overall, our gross margin percentage decreased to 79.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 81.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The overall decline is primarily attributable to a decline in gross margin for our physician dispensed segment, which decreased to 78.8% compared to 81.3% for the same period last year. The decline is primarily a result of: (i) an increase in discounting promotional activities which had an impact of approximately $1.3 million; and (ii) a change in sales mix among products. Gross margin for our licensing segment increased to 97.4% compared to 96.5% for the same period last year. The increase is primarily due to a $0.2 million increase in our licensing fees during the three months ended June 30, 2009.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization not attributable to products sold, warehousing costs, advertising, travel expense and other selling expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.8 million to $14.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. This increase is primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.7 million increase in expenses related to our SoluCLENZ product, of which $0.4 million was due to contract termination costs and $0.3 million due to the wind down of distribution and support of the product in the pharmacy Rx channel; (ii) a $0.3 million increase in salaries and related expenses, which includes $0.1 million in severance costs; (iii) a $0.2 million increase in expenses related to advertising and other marketing; (vi) a $0.1 million increase in promotional expenses; (v) a $0.1 million increase in rent and related expenses due to the relocation of our corporate headquarters during the quarter ended September 30, 2008; (vi) a $0.1 million increase in volume driven expense; and (vii) a $0.1 million increase in depreciation, primarily due to the implementation of our new Enterprise Resource
Planning (“ERP”) System in early 2009; offset by (i) a $0.7 million decrease in professional fees, consisting primarily of a reduction in legal expenses; and (ii) a $0.1 million decrease in other expenses. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses in the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 57% as compared to 50% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Research and development. Research and development expenses remained flat at $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008. This is primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.3 million increase related to the development of new products; offset by (i) a $0.2 million decrease in development costs related to new indications of our existing products; and (ii) a $0.1 million decrease in royalties paid to Dr. Obagi pursuant to the June 29, 2006 Services Agreement. As a percentage of net sales, research and development costs in the three months ended June 30, 2009 was 5% as compared to 5% in the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest income and Interest expense. Interest income declined to $53,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $85,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. We earn interest income from the investment of our cash balance into higher interest rate yielding certificate of deposits. Although our average cash and cash equivalents, including short term investments, increased from $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, our weighted average interest rate decreased from 1.82% during the three months ended June 30, 2008 to 0.86% during the three months ended June 30, 2009. Interest expense was $18,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $28,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decline is attributable to amortization of debt issuance costs related to our line of credit entered into in November 2008 being lower for the three months ended June 30, 2009, than compared to our previous line of credit in place during the three months ended June 30, 2008.
Income taxes. Income tax expense decreased $1.2 million to $1.8 million for three months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Our effective tax rate was 38.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 40.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in state taxes and the utilization of the Federal research and development credit, extended on October 3, 2008, for the year ending December 31, 2009.

Net sales decreased by $4.7 million to $48.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $53.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. Overall, we believe the economic conditions within the U.S. had a negative impact on our revenue performance during the six months ended June 30, 2009. We believe that the economic downturn has reduced disposable income, which we believe has led to reduced patient visits to physician offices for aesthetic products and procedures, and fewer such procedures being performed and products being purchased. The U.S. economic slow down effect was seen in all product categories but was more pronounced within the Elasticity and Nu-Derm product lines.
Physician dispensed sales decreased $4.5 million, to $46.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $51.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decline was due to the following: (i) a decline in Nu-Derm sales of $3.3 million; (ii) a $2.7 million decline in Elasticity sales primarily due to the increased promotional activity surrounding the launch of our ELASTIderm Décolletage product in early 2008 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2009; and (iii) a combined sales decline of $0.4 million in the Vitamin C and Other product categories. These declines were offset by an increase in the Therapeutic category of $1.9 million. This growth was primarily attributable to the launch of our Rosaclear system, which contributed $1.9 million in sales and SoluCLENZ, which contributed $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and was offset by a decline of approximately $0.4 million in our CLENZIderm system sales. Licensing fees decreased by $0.2 million.
Our aggregate sales decline was comprised of a $4.6 million decrease in the U.S. and a $0.1 million decrease from our International markets. International sales decline was primarily in the Nu-Derm category and primarily came from two regions: (i) $0.8 million from the Middle East; (ii) $0.2 million from the America’s Region; offset by (i) an increase of $0.6 million from the Far East Region, and (ii) an increase of $0.5 million from Europe and Other. Our licensing fees decreased $0.2 million primarily due to new product launch delays and the economic downturn. We believe, depending upon its duration and severity, that a continued global economic slow down may negatively impact our future net sales.
Gross margin percentage. Overall, our gross margin percentage decreased to 78.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to 81.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The overall decline is primarily attributable to a decline in gross margin for our physician dispensed segment, which decreased to 78.0% compared to 81.0% for the same period last year. The decline is primarily a result of: (i) a $0.4 million reserve on SoluCLENZ inventory in connection with our exit of the pharmacy Rx channel; (ii) an increase in discounting promotional activities; and (iii) a change in sales mix among products. Gross margin for our licensing segment remained flat at 96.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the same period last year.
Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries and other personnel-related costs, professional fees, insurance costs, stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization not attributable to products sold, warehousing costs, advertising, travel expense and other selling expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2.0 million to $30.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $28.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This increase is primarily due to the following: (i) a $2.2 million increase in expenses related to our SoluCLENZ product, of which $1.4 million was due to the distribution and support of the product in the pharmacy Rx channel and $0.8 million was due to the write off of nonrefundable deposits and the accrual of other contract termination costs; (ii) a $0.6 million increase in promotional expenses; (iii) a $0.4 million increase in advertising and other marketing expenses; (iv) a $0.3 million increase in volume driven activities; (v) a $0.2 million increase in severance costs; (vi) a $0.2 million increase in rent and related expenses due to the relocation of our corporate headquarters during the quarter ended September 30, 2008; and (vii) a $0.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization; offset by (i) a $1.5 million decrease in professional fees, consisting primarily of a reduction in legal expenses; (ii) a $0.4 million decrease in salaries and related expenses, largely due to the reduction of headcount in our daily operations; and (iii) a $0.1 million decrease in noncash compensation. As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 62% as compared to 53% for the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Research and development. Research and development expenses decreased $0.3 million to $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.5 million decrease in development costs related to new indications of our existing products; (ii) a $0.1 million decrease in royalties paid to Dr. Obagi pursuant to the June 29, 2006 Services Agreement, offset by a $0.3 million increase related to the development of new products. As a percentage of net sales, research and development costs in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 5% as compared to 5% in the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Interest income and Interest expense. Interest income declined to $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. We earn interest income from the investment of our cash balance into higher interest rate yielding certificate of deposit account. Although our average cash and cash equivalents, including short term investments, increased from $19.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $21.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, our weighted average interest rate decreased from 2.20% during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to 1.18% during the six months ended June 30, 2009. Interest expense was $36,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $65,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decline is attributable to amortization of debt issuance costs related to our line of credit entered into in November 2008 being lower for the six months ended June 30, 2009, than compared to our previous line of credit in place during the six months ended June 30, 2008.
Income taxes. Income tax expense decreased $2.8 million to $2.2 million for six months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our effective tax rate was 38.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 40.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease is primarily due to a decrease in state taxes and the utilization of the Federal research and development credit, extended on October 3, 2008, for the year ending December 31, 2009.
Liquidity and capital resources
Trends and uncertainties affecting liquidity
Our primary sources of liquidity are our cash generated by operations and availability under our Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Facility”) entered into in November 2008. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $26.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments and $20.0 million available under the Facility. We currently believe that our existing cash balances and cash generated by operations, together with our available credit capacity, will enable us to meet foreseeable liquidity requirements within the next twelve months. The following has or is expected to impact liquidity:
§ | We expect to continue to invest in our ERP system; |
§ | On August 5, 2008, the Board of Directors gave us the authority to repurchase up to $10 million of our outstanding common shares in the open market over the next two years. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we purchased $4.0 million of our outstanding stock. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we purchased 183,664 additional shares of our outstanding stock for a cost of $1.3 million; and |
§ | Our days sales outstanding (“DSO”) has remained consistent in comparison to December 31, 2008. However due to the economic downturn, we have increased our allowance for doubtful accounts and sales returns to $1.5 million as of June 30, 2009, compared to $1.2 million as of December 31, 2008. |
We are operating in an uncertain and volatile economic environment, which could have unanticipated adverse effects on our business. The pharmaceutical industry has been impacted by recent volatility in the financial markets, including declines in stock prices, and by uncertain economic conditions. Changes in food and fuel prices, changes in the credit and housing markets leading to the current financial and credit crisis, actual and potential job losses among many sectors of the economy, significant declines in the stock market resulting in large losses to consumer retirement and investment accounts, and uncertainty regarding future federal tax and economic policies have all added to declines in consumer confidence and curtailed consumer spending.
We expect the weak economic environment to continue and do not expect macroeconomic conditions to be conducive to growth in 2009. Achieving financial results that compare favorably with year-ago results will be challenging in the second half of 2009. We intend to moderate our growth plans and avoid credit and market risk. We expect to continue to generate positive working capital through our operations and, at this time, we do not anticipate drawing on our Facility.
As of November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January 31, 2009, we were not in technical compliance with our non-financial covenant requiring us to submit a listing of intellectual property to the lender each month. On February 18, 2009, we obtained a waiver for November 30 and December 31, 2008 and January 31, 2009. We were in compliance with all other financial and non-financial covenants and we had no outstanding balance on the Facility as of December 31, 2008.
As of June 30, 2009, we had no outstanding balance on the Facility and we were in compliance with both our non-financial and financial covenants. We expect to remain in compliance during the remainder of 2009; however, economic conditions or the occurrence of events discussed under “Risk Factors” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K could cause noncompliance with our financial covenants.
We expect to be able to manage our working capital levels and capital expenditure amounts to maintain sufficient levels of liquidity. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had approximately $47.9 million and $44.1 million, respectively, in working capital. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we have invested approximately $0.8 million in capital expenditures, which largely consist of expenses related to our ERP system. For the remainder of 2009, we expect to spend approximately $0.7 million in capital expenditures, primarily related to the completion of our ERP system, sales force automation and information technology upgrades. We do expect to slow down our investing activities in response to the current economic conditions. We intend to maintain our strong balance sheet.
Cash requirements for our business
Historically, we have generated cash from operations in excess of working capital requirements and through private and public sales of common stock. We currently invest our cash and cash equivalents in certificates of deposit with maturities no greater than one year. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had approximately $26.4 million and $19.9 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.
On August 5, 2008, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of our outstanding common shares over a period of two years. The purchases are to be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are determined by a three person committee, consisting of members of our board and management, at its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors that may be discontinued at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2008, we purchased 627,367 shares of our outstanding stock for a cost of $4.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we purchased 183,664 additional shares of our outstanding stock for a cost of $1.3 million.
We continually evaluate new opportunities for products and, if and when appropriate, intend to pursue such opportunities through the acquisitions of companies, products or technologies and our own development activities. Our ability to execute on such opportunities in some circumstances may be dependent, in part, upon our ability to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable terms. There can be no assurance that funds from these sources will be available when needed or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders. If additional funds are raised by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock.
Cash flow
Six months ended June 30, 2009. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash provided by operating activities was $8.8 million. The primary sources and uses of cash were $3.5 million in net income, including the effect of: (i) adjusting for non-cash items; (ii) an increase in accounts receivable due to the increase in our DSO from 74 days to 75 days; (iii) an increase in accounts payable through timing of purchasing and payments; (iv) an increase in accrued liabilities due to an increase in bonuses and commissions; (v) a decrease of inventory primarily through the improvement in our inventory turn ratio from 2.7 to 3.2; and (vi) a decrease in income tax receivable primarily due to refunds received from Federal and State agencies.
Net cash used in investing activities was $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This was primarily due to the following: (i) the purchase of $1.7 million in short-term certificates of deposit; (ii) costs related to phase one of our new ERP system implemented during the six months ended June 30, 2009; (iii) website and software upgrades; and (iv) investments in licenses and patent related intellectual property. We anticipate spending approximately $1.5 million in total for the entire year of 2009 for capital expenditures primarily associated with the implementation of the new ERP system sales force automation and IT upgrades.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. This was primarily due to purchase of $1.3 million of our outstanding stock during the year.
Six months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net cash provided by operating activities was $10.1 million. The primary sources and uses of cash were $7.5 million in net income, including the effect of: (i) adjusting for non-cash items; (ii) a net increase in accounts payable and current liabilities through timing of payment for operational and inventory purchases; (iii) a decrease in other assets due to a decrease in our income tax receivable; and (iv) a decrease in prepaid and other assets due to rebates received on products in our Other product line; offset by (i) an increase of inventory through added stocking levels for our new product in our ELASTIderm product line and our new product to be launched in August 2008 (our inventory turn ratio decreased from 2.8 to 2.2); and (ii) an increase of accounts receivable due to higher sales volumes.
Net cash used in investing activities was $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This was primarily due to the following: (i) cost related to the initial architectural design of our new corporate headquarters; (ii) website and software maintenance; and (iii) investments in patent related intellectual property.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This was primarily the result of proceeds received from the exercise of stock options.
Recent accounting pronouncements
For information regarding recent accounting pronouncements, see Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.
We invest our excess cash primarily in short term certificates of deposit. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions in any material fashion. Accordingly, we believe that we are not subject to any material risks arising from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices, equity prices or other market changes that affect market risk sensitive instruments.
Although substantially all of our sales and purchases are denominated in U.S. dollars, future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products outside the U.S. We do not believe, however, that we currently have significant direct foreign currency exchange rate risk and have not hedged exposures denominated in foreign currencies.
Interest rate risk
Our interest income and expense is more sensitive to fluctuations in the general level of U.S. prime rate and LIBOR interest rates than to changes in rates in other markets. Changes in U.S. LIBOR interest rates affect the interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2009, we had approximately $26.4 million of cash and cash equivalents and short term investments. If the interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents and short term investments were to increase or decrease by 1% for the year, annual interest income would increase or decrease by approximately $0.3 million.
Other risks
Generally we have been able to collect our accounts receivable in the ordinary course of business. We continuously monitor collections and payments from customers and maintain a provision for estimated credit losses as deemed appropriate based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. Although our DSO has increased from 74 days at December 31, 2008 to 75 days at June 30, 2009, and we continue to see a weakened economic environment, we do not believe that our accounts receivable balance represents a significant credit risk based upon our past collection experience.
The current economic downturn has had an adverse impact on the financial services industry, including insurance companies, some of whom we currently are insured by. To the extent we have any claims in the future and such insurance providers are unable, due to their financial condition, to pay covered claims, we could experience adverse impacts on our cash flow and cash reserves. We have no way of knowing whether or not any new insurance providers that are financially stable at this time will experience financial difficulties in the future that could impact their ability to pay covered claims.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
As of June 30, 2009, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures in accordance with Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on their evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II
From time to time, we are involved in litigation and other legal matters in the normal course of business. At this time, Management does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The following risk factor was previously updated from previous disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Due to our decision to discontinue sales of SoluCLENZ in April 2009, this risk factor will no longer be applicable to our business after the quarter ending June 30, 2009 and will be removed from future filings.
Since certain third party payors do not currently reimburse patients for SoluCLENZ, sales for the product have suffered to date and have affected the success of the launch of that product.
Our commercial success of SoluCLENZ depends in part on physicians’ willingness to prescribe the product based on the availability to patients of reimbursement from third-party payors, such as Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies. These third-party payors frequently challenge the pricing of new drugs where they believe generic equivalents are available or that are not included on one of the three standard formulary lists. Currently, one of the three major reimbursement compendiums does not permit reimbursement of SoluCLENZ and our sales have suffered as a result. To the extent that certain patients continue to be unable to obtain reimbursement for SoluCLENZ based on the availability of a generic equivalent, future sales will continue to be impacted, and we may discontinue selling SoluCLENZ into the pharmacy Rx channel, which has resulted in $0.9 million and is expected to result in additional costs of approximately $1.3 million to $1.8 million in expenses related to the write-down of inventory and early termination of contracts.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
On August 5, 2008, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10 million of our outstanding common shares over a period of two years. The purchases are to be made in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions from time to time as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The timing manner, price and amount of any repurchases are determined by a three person committee, consisting of members of our board and management, at its discretion and will be subject to economic and market conditions, stock price, applicable legal requirements and other factors that may be discontinued at any time.
The following table provides information regarding repurchases of our common stock made by or on behalf of us, or any “affiliated purchasers” as defined in SEC rules, of our equity securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, for each month during the three months ended June 30, 2009, in the format required by SEC rules:
