NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2013
(Unaudited)
Note 1 — Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2013, the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows at June 30, 2013, and for all periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.
The results of operations for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year. It is suggested that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
MOCON Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), develops, manufacturers and markets measurement, analytical and monitoring instruments, and provides consulting services for customers in the barrier packaging, food, pharmaceutical, consumer products, industrial hygiene, environmental, air quality monitoring, oil and gas exploration and other industries throughout the world. The Company’s acquisition of Dansensor A/S (Dansensor) in 2012 expanded the Company’s offerings into the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) market world-wide. MAP technology enables food packagers in a variety of food service industries to produce an extended shelf life by altering the gas mixture within the packaged environment, thereby reducing the need for artificial preservatives.
The Company reports its operating segments in accordance with accounting standards codified in ASC 280, Segment Reporting. During fiscal 2012, the Company increased the number of reporting segments from one to three to reflect the integration of Dansensor’s operations. These are classified as Permeation Products and Services (“Permeation”), Package Testing Products and Services (“Package Testing”), and Industrial Analyzer Products and Services and Other (“Industrial Analyzers and Other”) for financial reporting purposes.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Dansensor, a Danish company. Dansensor designs, manufactures, sells, and services quality control and assurance equipment for businesses that utilize modified atmosphere or sealed packaging. Dansensor also offers a complete range of gas mixers, analyzers, and leak detection equipment and sells its products world-wide. The acquisition significantly expands the Company’s presence in Europe and particularly in MAP technology, a growing world-wide market. All of the assets and liabilities of Dansensor were recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at their respective fair values on the date of acquisition.

Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MOCON, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the Company). All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Offsetting Assets and Liabilities Disclosures
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued updated accounting guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. This update adds certain additional disclosure requirements about financial instruments and derivative instruments that are subject to netting arrangements. Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted the FASB issued disclosure requirements with respect to changes in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI). Under this new guidance, companies are required to disclose the amount of income (or loss) reclassified out of AOCI to each respective line item on the statements of income where net income is presented on either the face of the financial statements or within the footnotes. The provisions of the guidance are to be applied prospectively for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company has elected to disclose the reclassification in the notes to the financial statements (see Note 7). Adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 2 — Business Acquisition
On April 2, 2012, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Dansensor pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement (SPA). Under the terms of the SPA, the Company acquired Dansensor for approximately $19.2 million, net of cash acquired. Approximately $13.6 million of the purchase price was paid in cash at closing and the remainder of the purchase price was paid through the issuance of the Seller Note as is more fully described in Note 10.
The supplemental unaudited pro forma net sales and net income of the combined entity, including U.S. GAAP conversion adjustments, had the acquisition been completed as of the earliest period presented are as follows:
| | Net Sales | | Net Income | | Basic Earnings per Share | |
| | | | | | | |
Supplemental pro forma combined results of operations: | | | | | | | |
Six-month period ended June 30, 2012 | | $ | 27,256,372 | | $ | 763,105 | | $ | 0.14 | |

Note 3 — Inventories
Inventories consist of the following:
| | June 30, 2013 | | December 31, 2012 | |
Finished products | | $ | 1,433,908 | | $ | 1,554,203 | |

Note 4 — Net Income Per Common Share
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed using the treasury stock method to compute the weighted average common stock outstanding assuming the conversion of potential dilutive common shares.
The following table presents a reconciliation of the denominators used in the computation of net income per common share — basic, and net income per common share — diluted, for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2013 | | 2012 | | 2013 | | 2012 | |
Weighted shares of common stock outstanding — basic | | 5,537,677 | | 5,474,248 | | 5,529,430 | | 5,462,211 | |
Dilutive impact of share-based awards | | 134,168 | | — | | 139,586 | | 229,811 | |
Weighted shares of common stock outstanding — diluted | | 5,671,845 | | 5,474,248 | | 5,669,016 | | 5,692,022 | |
Outstanding stock options totaling 256,375 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,

2013, and 238,356 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2012, were excluded from the net income per common share calculation because the shares would be anti-dilutive.
Note 5 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 are as follows:
| | Package | | | | Industrial | | | |

Note 6 — Marketable Securities
Marketable securities at June 30, 2013 consisted of municipal bonds and certificates of deposits, and are classified as held-to-maturity due to our ability and intent to hold these securities until maturity or the call date as the case may be. Held-to-maturity securities are recorded at amortized cost, adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. A decline in the market value of any held-to-maturity security below the amortized cost basis that is deemed other than temporary is charged to income, resulting in the establishment of a new cost basis for the security. There was no other than temporary impairment during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012; therefore, no adjustment to the amortized cost basis was made. Currently, all of the Company’s marketable securities mature within six months.
The fair value of the marketable securities above was determined using Level 2 inputs. There were no gross realized gains or losses for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
The amortized cost and fair value for held-to-maturity securities by major security type at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows:

Note 8 — Investment in Affiliated Company
In January 2010, the Company acquired a minority equity ownership interest in Luxcel Biosciences Limited (Luxcel) based in Cork, Ireland. The investment of €2.5 million (approximately $3.6 million) amounted to a 16.9% equity interest in Luxcel. The Company has evaluated the cost versus equity method of accounting for its investment in Luxcel and determined that it does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Luxcel and, therefore, accounts for its investment on a cost basis. The investment in Luxcel is carried on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at the original purchase price, adjusted for currency fluctuations. The Company believes that it is not feasible to readily estimate the fair value of its investment in Luxcel. Information related to future cash flows of Luxcel is not readily available as the entity is a start-up research and development company and future cash flows are highly dependent on their ability to obtain additional funding, gain acceptance of its products in the marketplace, and obtain regulatory approvals. See Note 16 for additional information.
Note 9 — Warranty
The Company provides a warranty for most of its products. Warranties are for periods ranging from ninety days to one year, and cover parts and labor for non-maintenance repairs, at our locations. Operator abuse, improper use, alteration, damage resulting from accident, or failure to follow manufacturer’s directions are excluded from warranty coverage.
Warranty expense is accrued at the time of sale based on historical claims experience. Warranty reserves are also accrued for special rework campaigns for known major product modifications. The Company also offers extended warranty service contracts for select products when the factory warranty period expires.
Warranty provisions and claims for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were as follows:

Total long-term notes payable | | $ | 2,612,961 | | $ | 3,926,863 | |
The Company has a $5.0 million secured revolving line of credit with a maturity date of March 28, 2016. Interest is charged monthly at one-month LIBOR plus 1.75 basis points which totaled 2.00% at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The line of credit is secured by the assets of the Company with the exception of the Dansensor stock. The Company had $4,420,000 and $4,675,000 outstanding on the line of credit at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Additionally, Dansensor has a DKK 10,000,000 (approximately $1.7 million) available line of credit of which no amounts were outstanding as of June 30, 2013 and $652,000 was outstanding at December 31, 2012. Outstanding borrowings are charged interest at 4.35% per year.
The Company is subject to various financial and restrictive covenants in the bank Credit Agreement, including maintaining certain financial ratios and limits on incurring additional indebtedness, making capital and lease expenditures and making share repurchases. As of June 30, 2013, the Company was not in compliance with one of these financial covenants with the Bank which relates to the Bank borrowings totaling approximately $6.9 million. The Company has obtained a waiver of this violation for the period ended June 30, 2013, and currently expects to be in compliance with such covenant in future periods.
The carrying value of the Seller Note is adjusted for foreign currency translation at each reporting period and the change in value is included in other income (expense) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of June 30, 2013, the future minimum principal payments of the long-term notes payable for the remainder of 2013 and each of the four succeeding fiscal years and thereafter are as follows:

Note 11 — Income Taxes
Our provision for income tax expense (benefit) was 2.6% and 18.3% of income before income taxes for the second quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The rate in the second quarter 2013 was positively impacted by tax law changes related to recently enacted legislation which lowered the corporate income tax rates in Denmark. The impact of this change was a reduction of a deferred tax liability, which was recorded as a discrete adjustment to income tax expense in the current quarter in the amount of $258,000. Our effective tax rate for the current quarter would have been 33.9% if this one-time adjustment had not been made.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, our income tax expense was 15.5% of income before income taxes compared to 40.6% for the same period of 2012. The rate for the first six months of 2013 was positively impacted by the tax law changes noted above as well as the domestic tax law change related to research and development credits which was effective in the first quarter 2013. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 would have been 28.5% if the adjustment for the change in the Danish tax rates had not been made. Additionally, the effective rate on Dansensor’s income is lower than our historical effective rate due to lower statutory rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates.
As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits was $291,000 and $265,000, respectively. Changes in gross unrecognized tax benefits during the six-months ended June 30, 2013 primarily consisted of an increase for tax positions taken in the current year. It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits for positions which the Company has identified will not materially change in the next twelve months.
Note 12 — Stock-Based Compensation
As of June 30, 2013, the Company has reserved 272,552 shares of common stock for options and other stock-based incentive awards that are still available for grant under our 2006 stock incentive plan, and 791,150 shares for options that have been granted under either the 2006 stock incentive plan or the 1998 stock option plan but have not yet been exercised. The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock options. There were options for an aggregate of 10,000 shares granted in the first six months of 2013.
Amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements related to stock-based compensation are as follows:
| | Three Months Ended June 30, | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Black-Scholes). The Company uses historical data to estimate the expected price volatility, expected option life and expected forfeiture rate. The Company bases its estimate of expected volatility for awards granted on daily historical trading data of its common stock for a period equivalent to the expected term of the award.
The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant for the estimated life of the option. The Company estimates the expected term consistent with historical exercise and cancellation activity of its previous share-based grants with a seven year contractual term. Forfeitures are based on historical experience. The dividend yield is calculated based upon the dividend payments made during the prior four quarters as a percent of the average stock price for that period.
A summary of the option activity for the first six months of 2013 is as follows:
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value | |
Outstanding at December 31, 2012 | | 838,662 | | $ | 11.84 | | 3.9 | | $ | 2,346,063 | |

Exercisable at June 30, 2013 | | 613,775 | | $ | 11.24 | | 2.8 | | $ | 1,640,000 | |
The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $136,582 and $16,607 during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $173,288 and $292,377 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
A summary of the status of our unvested option shares as of June 30, 2013 is as follows:
| | Number of Shares | | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value | |
Unvested at December 31, 2012 | | 209,925 | | $ | 4.04 | |
Options granted | | 10,000 | | $ | 4.45 | |
Options cancelled | | (10,300 | ) | $ | 3.83 | |
Options vested | | (32,250 | ) | $ | 4.45 | |
Unvested at June 30, 2013 | | 177,375 | | $ | 4.00 | |
As of June 30, 2013, there was $592,336 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock-based compensation granted under our plans. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years. The total fair value of option shares vested during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was $71,757 and $65,648, respectively, and $143,513 and $131,345 during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Note 13 — Derivative Instrument
As of June 30, 2013, the Company has one foreign currency contract outstanding with a notional amount
13
Table of Contents
of 15.7 million Danish krone (DKK) or $2.8 million. The foreign currency contract was purchased to economically hedge the foreign currency fluctuation from the remeasurement of the third party seller financed note payable (Seller Note) which is denominated in DKK (Note 10). The foreign currency contract has various settlement dates that coincide with the Company’s Seller Note payment schedule. The term of the foreign currency contract coincides with the maturity of the Seller Note which is April 2, 2015. The fair value of the contract resulted in an asset of approximately $114,000 at June 30, 2013, as compared to approximately $209,000 at December 31, 2012. The increase in the fair value of the contract totaling approximately $12,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 and the decrease of $95,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 were recognized in other income (expense) in the Statement of Income, the current portion of the receivable is recorded in other receivables, and the long-term portion is recorded in other assets as of June 30, 2013.
Note 14 — Fair Value Measurements
The Company determines the fair market value of its derivative contract based on the fair value hierarchy, described below, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels within the fair value hierarchy that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1: Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Values based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3: Values generated from model-based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect our own estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
The following table provides information on those assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
| | | | Fair Value Measurements at the end of the Reporting Period Using | |
Assets: | | Carrying value | | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | |

| | | | | |
December 31, 2012: | | | | | |
Foreign currency contract | | $ | 209,370 | | $ | 209,370 | |
The fair value of the foreign currency contract is determined based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward currency prices. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, revolving lines of credit and current maturities

Table of Contents
of notes payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturity. The fair value of the long-term debt, measured as Level 2 financial instruments, is estimated based on anticipated interest rates which management believes would currently be available to the Company for similar issues of debt, taking into account the current credit risk of the Company and other market factors. The Company believes the carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value. See Note 6 for additional information on the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities.
Note 15 — Business Segments
As a result of the acquisition of Dansensor during fiscal 2012, the chief operating decision maker (the Company’s President and CEO) restructured the operations of the Company. In prior reporting periods the Company had three operating segments and one reportable segment, whereas the Company now has four operating segments and three reportable segments, structured by differences in products and services, that are regularly reviewed by the Company’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The segment performance is evaluated at segment operating income which is defined as gross profit less selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. General corporate expenses, including costs associated with various support functions such as human resources, information technology, finance and accounting, and general and administrative costs, are allocated to the reportable segments primarily on the basis of segment gross margin. The Company’s four operating segments have been aggregated into three reportable segments based on the authoritative guidance. The Company aggregated its Other Products and Services operating segment into the Industrial Analyzer Products and Services segment based on minimal business activity and materiality.
The Permeation segment includes instruments and services that measure the rate at which various gases and vapors permeate through a variety of materials. The Package Testing segment provides customers with the ability to assess package performance, shelf-life, package improvement, cost reduction, sustainability and product safety using Modified Atmosphere Packaging and other technologies. The Industrial Analyzers and Other segment includes advanced gas analysis and monitoring instrumentation used in applications such as oil and gas exploration, beverage and specialty gas analysis, industrial hygiene and safety, food safety and environmental air monitoring.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. There were no intersegment sales for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
Financial information by reportable segment for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 is as follows:

Note 16 — Subsequent Events
On August 21, 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.11 per share. The estimated dividend payment of $610,000 is payable on November 15, 2013, to shareholders of record on November 1, 2013.
In August 2013, the Company entered into a license and development agreement with Luxcel which grants the Company access to proprietary technology on an exclusive basis. The Company is obligated to pay a total of $200,000 for two licenses, each with a four-year term which is automatically renewable under certain circumstances. In addition, the Company is committed to spending additional amounts for development work to be performed by Luxcel for yet to be determined work order projects.

Our products include instruments that detect, measure and monitor gases and chemical compounds. We continually seek growth opportunities through technological and product improvement, by developing new products, and by acquiring new companies, new product lines, or rights to technologies.
We have two primary operating locations in the United States — Minnesota and Colorado — and we have foreign offices and laboratories in Germany, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain and China. We use a mix of a direct sales force and independent sales representatives to market our products and services in the United States, Canada, Europe and China, and we use a network of independent sales representatives to market and service our products and services in most other foreign countries.
Historically, a significant portion of our sales has come from international customers. The international portion of our consolidated sales has increased from recent historical trends since the acquisition of Dansensor as the principal portion of their sales are to European customers.
Our ongoing plans for growth include continued substantial funding for research and development to drive new product development, together with strategic acquisitions and investments where appropriate.
Our purchase of PBI-Dansensor A/S of Ringsted, Denmark (Dansensor) is directly in line with our stated strategy of seeking opportunities to grow our business in part through strategic acquisitions and investments. This manufacturer of specialized instruments and control systems for the Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) market world-wide is an excellent fit for our products, services, and distribution channels. With this acquisition, we continue to grow our offerings to food, beverage, pharmaceutical, health care and other companies who are concerned about the quality, safety and extended shelf-life of their packaged products for consumers.
During the third quarter 2012, we increased the number of reporting segments from one to three to reflect the integration of Dansensor’s operations. These are classified as Permeation Products and Services (“Permeation”), Package Testing Products and Services (“Package Testing”), and Industrial Analyzer Products and Services and Other (“Industrial Analyzers and Other”) for financial reporting purposes.
Products and Services
Permeation Products and Services
Our permeation products consist of systems and services that measure the rate at which various gases and vapors transmit through a variety of materials. These products perform measurements under precise temperature, pressure and relative humidity conditions. The principal market for these products consists of manufacturers of packaging materials, including manufacturers of papers, plastic films,
17
Table of Contents
coatings and containers and the users of such packaging materials, such as companies in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical and consumer product industries. Other customers include manufacturers of flat panel displays, solar panels, electronics, and many other sophisticated materials. The main market driver for this business segment is the approximately 10,000 new packaged consumer products that are launched worldwide each year, many of which are subject to gas permeation effects. We believe that the global market for our permeation products has an estimated annual growth rate of 5% to 10%.
We also provide certain laboratory testing services to companies that have a need for permeation data. These services consist primarily of testing film and package permeation for companies that:
· wish to outsource their testing needs to us;
· are interested in evaluating our instrumentation prior to purchase; or
· have purchased our products but have a need for additional capacity.
Permeation instruments that we currently manufacture include OX-TRAN® systems for oxygen transmission rates, PERMATRAN-W® systems for water vapor transmission rates, and PERMATRAN-C® systems for carbon dioxide transmission rates. Our AQUATRAN® ultra-high sensitivity, trace moisture permeation analyzer has been increasingly accepted as the standard test instrument of choice in the flat panel, solar cell and electronics industries. Our systems are available in a wide range of options for our customers, including high or low throughput, price, sensitivity and ease of use. They are primarily marketed to research and development departments, as well as production and quality assurance groups.
Package Testing Products and Services
We manufacture and sell three primary products in this group: headspace analyzers, leak detection equipment and gas mixers. Our headspace analyzer products are used to analyze the amount and type of gas present in the headspace of flexible and rigid packages, as applied to gas flushing in modified or controlled atmosphere packaging. The principal market for these products consists of packagers of foods, beverages and pharmaceuticals. Our headspace analyzer products include the PAC CHECK®, CheckMateTM and CheckPointTM series of off-line headspace analyzers and the MAP Check 3TM series of on-line analyzers for continuous and intermittent monitoring of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and other gas flushing operations. Our leak detection products detect leaks in sterile medical trays, food pouches, blister packs and a wide range of other sealed packages. We currently manufacture three types of leak detection instruments. The first type is a non-destructive leak detector that senses small amounts of carbon dioxide escaping from a package or tray. The second type of instrument detects leaks and checks for seal integrity by applying and measuring pressure within a package. The third type pulls a vacuum on a package and looks for vacuum or gas flow changes. The principal markets for these products are packagers of sterile medical items, pharmaceuticals and food products. Our leak detection products include the LeakMatic IITM and LeakPointer IITM series of instruments. We believe that the global market for our package testing products has an estimated annual growth rate of 10% to 15%.
Our gas mixers are used in the food production environment to assure that the package has been properly flushed with the correct mixture of gases. Our gas mixer products include the MAP Mix Provectus and MAP Mix 9001 on-line instruments.
Industrial Analyzer Products and Services and Other
Sales at our Baseline-MOCON, Inc. (Baseline) subsidiary located near Boulder, Colorado comprise the majority of sales in this segment. Baseline offers advanced gas analysis and monitoring instrumentation used in applications such as oil and gas exploration, process gas analysis, industrial hygiene and safety, environmental air monitoring and indoor air quality.

Table of Contents
In this group, we manufacture and sell two types of gas analyzer instruments: gas chromatographs (GCs) and total hydrocarbon analyzers (THAs). These instruments are typically installed in fixed locations at the monitoring sites and perform their functions of detecting and measuring various hydrocarbons continually or at regular intervals. We also make gas sensors and detectors which are sold to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) of mobile gas safety equipment.
Our industrial analyzer products, sensors and detectors are for use in industrial hygiene (detection of hazardous gases in the workplace), hydrocarbon gas analysis for oil and gas exploration, contaminant detection in the manufacture of specialty gases, and environmental monitoring (tracking the release, or the presence, of toxic substances). Our newest GC offering measures trace levels of contaminants in beverage grade carbon dioxide which is used to carbonate soft drinks, beer and water.
We believe that the global market for our industrial analyzer products has an estimated annual growth rate of 15% to 20%.
We market some of these products under the names BEVALERT®, PETROALERT®, and piD-TECH®.
We estimate that the current global sales for miniature PIDs, such as our piD-TECH product, is approximately $4 million each year and we currently have an approximate 75% market share for these types of products. We estimate that the current global sales for instruments that perform similar functions as our BEVALERT product is approximately $3 million and we believe we have an approximate 66% share of this market and our primary competitors in this market are two large companies. We also believe that the markets for these types of products are growing and there is an addressable market of up to an aggregate of $150 million over the next ten years for products like our BEVALERT instrument.
We believe that there is an addressable market of up to an aggregate of $100 million over the next ten years for our PETROALERT product and other products that perform similar functions.
Microbial Detection Products
Our microbial detection products are designed to rapidly detect microbial growth in food and beverage samples. Using the total viable count (TVC) method, our GreenLight® series of instruments perform rapid and precise measurements to determine the presence or absence of aerobic bacteria in food products or ingredients. There are two models of the GreenLight product line currently available.

Comparison of Financial Results for the Three and Six-Month Periods Ended June 30, 2013 and 2012
Sales
Sales for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013 were $13,688,000, up 3.7% compared to $13,199,000 for the same period in 2012. The growth for the quarter was attributable primarily to our Industrial Analyzer and Other segment which recorded a 23% increase in revenues. The increase was driven by sales of environmental monitoring instruments due to increased regulatory concerns and sales of instruments for oil and gas exploration primarily in the Middle East.
Total consolidated sales to foreign customers increased 13% in the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year as Dansensor’s primary markets are in Europe, while domestic sales decreased 12% between the two periods. Domestic and foreign sales accounted for 31% and 69%, respectively, of our consolidated second quarter sales in 2013, and 37% and 63% of our consolidated sales, respectively, for the same period in 2012.
Sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2013 were $28,135,000, up 25.7% compared to $22,383,000 for the same period in 2012. The growth in organic revenues was 2.6% as Dansensor sales were not included for the first quarter of 2012. The organic growth was due to a 34% increase in sales in the Industrial Analyzer and Other segment as shipments of gas chromatographs to be used in a variety of applications led the way. Offsetting this increase was a 10% drop in revenues in our Permeation segment due to lower sales in the first quarter 2013 to our European markets.
The following table summarizes total sales by reporting segments for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Permeation Testing Products and Services — Sales in our Permeation segment declined 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year, and accounted for 37% and 39% of our consolidated second quarter sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Foreign sales comprised 64% of the shipments in this segment in the second quarter 2013, compared to 65% from the same period in the prior year. Sales for the current quarter improved from the first quarter in 2013 as we realized a noticeable increase in international orders.
Sales in our Permeation segment declined 10% for the first six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year, and accounted for 35% and 50% of our consolidated first six months sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Foreign sales comprised 63% of the shipments in this segment in the first six months of 2013, compared to 68% from the same period in the prior year. The year-to-date decline in revenue in this segment stemmed from the first quarter 2013 when economic concerns primarily in Europe were affecting capital equipment purchases and continues to be a factor in our customer’s buying decisions.
Package Testing Products and Services — Sales in our Package Testing segment increased 1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same period in the prior year, and accounted for 44% and 45% of our consolidated second quarter sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively. This group consists of headspace analyzers, leak detection instruments and gas mixers, and includes the total sales of Dansensor.
Sales in our Package Testing segment, which accounted for 45% and 32% of our consolidated sales during the first six months in 2013 and 2012, respectively, increased 75% in the first six months 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Sales of Dansensor were not included in our first quarter 2012 numbers and as such, our organic sales increased 5% in the current six month period compared to the prior year. Sales of our recently upgraded LeakMatic and LeakPointer series of leak detection instruments accounted for a significant portion of the overall sales growth. We also experienced growth in our on-line gas analyzer and gas mixer product lines represented by the MAP Check 3 and MAP Mix Provectus instruments, respectively.
Industrial Analyzer Products and Services and Other — Sales in our Industrial Analyzers and Other segment, which accounted for 19% and 16% of our consolidated second quarter sales in 2013 and 2012, respectively, increased 23% during the second quarter 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Sales in this segment are comprised mainly of instruments and services provided by our Baseline subsidiary. Sales of gas chromatographs and hydrocarbon analyzers to the oil and gas exploration and environmental monitoring markets accounted for the majority of the increase.
Sales in our Industrial Analyzers and Other segment, which accounted for 20% and 18% of our consolidated sales for the first six months of 2013 and 2012, respectively, increased 35% during the first six months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Sales of instruments to the oil and gas

exploration and environmental monitoring markets, as well as sales of OEM sensors and detectors for worker safety applications, accounted for the majority of the increase.
Gross Profit
The consolidated gross profit margin was 56% for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 compared to 48% in the same period in 2012. The lower than normal percentage in the second quarter 2012 was primarily due to purchase accounting adjustments that were required in connection with the acquisition of Dansensor in the second quarter 2012. The most significant adjustment was approximately $865,000 relating to inventory which had been written up to fair value on the acquisition date, and subsequently shipped in the second quarter of 2012 and charged to cost of sales. The gross margin in the Permeation segment was higher in the current quarter compared to last year as sales of newer products with higher margins have increased. The margins in the Package Testing segment improved significantly in the current period primarily due the purchase accounting adjustments that were recognized in the second quarter of 2012. The margins in the Industrial Analyzer and Other segment were consistent between the quarterly periods and in line with planned levels.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the consolidated gross profit margins were 56% and 54%, respectively. This increase was primarily the result of the adjustments required to be made for purchase accounting in the second quarter of 2012 as noted above.
The overall gross profit margin varies from quarter to quarter depending on product mix and other factors.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $5,668,000, or 41% of consolidated sales, in the three-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to $5,601,000, or 42% of consolidated sales, in the same period of 2012. The increase in the current quarter was primarily related to higher wages and benefits which were mostly offset by lower professional fees.
SG&A expenses were $11,271,000, or 40% of consolidated sales, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to $9,378,000, or 42% of consolidated sales, in the same period of 2012. The increase in the current period was primarily related to a full six months of SG&A expenses of Dansensor totaling $3,526,000 being included in our financial results for 2013 compared to $1,840,000 for the same period of 2012. We will continue to strive to reduce SG&A expenses as a percentage of revenue, with a long term goal of having SG&A expenses be approximately 35% of revenues.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development (R&D) expenses were $1,080,000 in the second quarter 2013, compared to $1,033,000 in the same period of 2012. The current period expense is within our planned level of spending which we project to be between 6% to 8% of sales each year.
R&D expenses were $2,198,000 in the first six months of 2013, compared to $1,766,000 in the same period of 2012. The current period expense is slightly higher than the previous year due primarily to a full six-months of R&D expenses of Dansensor being included in 2013 results, which totaled $705,000 being included in our financial results for 2013 compared to $462,000 for the same period in 2012. The R&D expense is within our planned level of spending.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
Our provision for income tax expense (benefit) was 2.6% and 18.3% of income before income taxes for the second quarters ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The rate in the second quarter 2013 was positively impacted by tax law changes related to recently enacted legislation which lowered the corporate income tax rates in Denmark. The impact of this change was a reduction of a deferred tax liability, which was recorded as a discrete adjustment to income tax expense in the current quarter in the amount of $258,000. Our effective tax rate for the current quarter would have been 33.9% if this one-time adjustment had not been made. The rate in the second quarter 2012 was lower than expected due primarily to the non-deductibility of certain expenses incurred in relation to the acquisition of Dansensor.
For the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, our income tax expense (benefit) was 15.5% of income before income taxes compared to 40.6% for the same period of 2012. The rate for the first six months of 2013 was positively impacted by the tax law changes noted above as well as the domestic tax law change related to research and development credits which was effective in the first quarter 2013. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 would have been 28.5% if the adjustment for the change in the Danish tax rates had not been made. Additionally, the effective rate on Dansensor’s income is lower than our historical effective rate due to lower statutory rates in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The 2012 provision was higher than normal due primarily to the non-deductibility of certain expenses incurred in relation to the acquisition of Dansensor. In addition, the projected credit for research and development was not factored into the calculation because Congress had not yet extended the credit for 2012.
Based on current projected annual operating results and current income tax rates, we expect the effective tax rate for the remainder of 2013 to increase somewhat from the rate noted above. This rate fluctuates over time based on the income tax rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate, and also the level of profits in those jurisdictions.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income was $802,000 in the second quarter 2013, compared to a net loss of $142,000 in the second quarter 2012. Diluted net income (loss) per share was $0.14 and $(0.03) in the second quarters of 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2013, net income was $1,688,000, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $679,000, or $0.12 per diluted share in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Total cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities decreased $2,781,000 to $5,340,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013, compared to $8,121,000 at December 31, 2012. Included in the June 30, 2013 total, was $2,900,000 held outside of the United States. The year-to-date decrease in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities was primarily due to net pay-downs on our revolving lines of credit and term debt totaling $2,220,000 and dividend payments of $1,188,000. At June 30,
23
Table of Contents
2013, we had $4.4 million outstanding on the revolving lines of credit. The four-year term note is payable in monthly principal installments of $72,917 plus interest at 3.46% per annum. The four-year seller note is payable in semi-annual installments of $891,000, including interest, at 3.46% per annum. The U.S. revolving line of credit accrues interest at 1.75% over the one-month LIBOR rate, which totaled 2.00% at June 30, 2013. The term note and the revolving line of credit related to our U.S. borrowings are due on March 28, 2016, and we are subject to certain financial and restrictive covenants.
Our working capital as of June 30, 2013 was $9,470,000, a decrease of $949,000 compared to $10,419,000 at December 31, 2012. This decrease is primarily related to the reduction in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities as noted above and an increase in accounts payable, partially offset by a reduction in our revolving lines of credit, accrued compensation and related expenses and an increase in trade accounts receivable.
One of our strategic objectives is, as market and business conditions warrant, to consider acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses, products and/or technologies. If we wish to pursue one or more additional acquisition opportunities, this may require the consent of the Bank under the credit agreement we have executed, and we may need to fund such activities with a portion of our cash balances and debt or equity financing. If we need to raise additional capital, an equity-based or equity-linked financing may be used which could be dilutive to existing shareholders. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt, we may be subject to additional restrictive covenants that could limit our operational flexibility and higher interest expense could dilute earnings per share.
We invest a large portion of our available cash in highly liquid marketable securities consisting primarily of certificates of deposits, municipal bonds, and money market funds. Our investment policy is to manage these assets to preserve principal, maintain adequate liquidity at all times, and maximize returns subject to investment guidelines we maintain.
We believe that a combination of our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, funds available under the revolving credit facility, and an expected continuation of cash flow from operations, will continue to be adequate to fund our operations and working capital, capital expenditures, required payments on indebtedness and dividend payments. For those international earnings considered to be reinvested indefinitely, we currently have no intention to, and plans do not indicate a need to, repatriate the funds related to those earnings for U.S. operations.
Cash Flow
Cash Flow from Operating Activities
Historically, our primary source of funds has been cash provided by operating activities. In the first six months of 2013, cash provided by operations totaled approximately $1,837,000 due primarily to net income of $1,668,000, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $1,157,000, an increase in deferred revenue of $462,000, and an increase in accounts payable of $536,000. These increases in cash from operating activities were partially offset by an increase in trade accounts receivable of $1,289,000, a reduction in deferred income taxes of $501,000, and in increase in inventories of $376,000.
In the first six months of 2012, cash provided by operations totaled approximately $13,700 due primarily to net income of approximately $679,000, non-cash depreciation and amortization of $728,000, and a reduction in inventories of $1,139,000, partially offset by a reduction of accrued compensation and related expenses of $681,000, and a reduction in deferred revenue of $460,000 and accrued income taxes of $423,000.
Cash Flow from Investing Activities
Cash provided from investing activities totaled approximately $1,931,000 in the first six months of 2013
24
Table of Contents
due primarily to the receipt of proceeds from maturities of marketable securities of $3,290,000, partially offset by cash paid for intangible assets and fixed asset additions of $1,474,000.
Cash used in investing activities totaled approximately $12,486,000 in the first six months of 2012 due primarily to the payment of cash in the amount of $12,764,000 to acquire Dansensor and the purchase of fixed assets totaling $914,000, partially offset by the net maturities of marketable securities of $1,240,000.
Cash Flow from Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2013 totaled approximately $3,142,000 due primarily to a reduction of our term notes payable of $1,317,000, a net pay-down on our revolving lines of credit of $903,000, and dividends paid of $1,188,000. These uses of cash were partially offset by the proceeds received from stock option exercises of $247,000.
Cash generated from financing activities totaled approximately $6,048,000 in the first six months of 2012 due primarily to the net proceeds of $6,827,000 from bank borrowings and seller financed note payable, partially offset by dividend payments in the amount of $1,119,000.
Although we have repurchased shares of our common stock in the past, we currently are not authorized by our Board of Directors to make repurchases of our common stock and are prohibited from doing so under the credit agreement with the Bank unless we obtain the Bank’s approval.
Contractual Obligations
We refer you to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a summary of our contractual obligations related to operating leases, purchase obligations and financing arrangements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined by the rules and regulations of the SEC, that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. As a result, we are not materially exposed to financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had engaged in these arrangements.
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity
In March 2013, the FASB issued guidance that resolves the diversity in practice as it applies to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income when a parent company either sells a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity or no longer holds a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This update is effective for the Company beginning on or after January 1, 2014. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our most critical accounting policies, which are those that require significant judgment, include policies related to revenue recognition, allowance for doubtful accounts, accrual for excess and obsolete

inventories, recoverability of long-lived assets, accrued product warranties and income taxes. An in-depth description of these can be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Management has not changed the method of calculating and using estimates and assumptions in preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There have been no changes in the policies for our accounting estimates for the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements that involve future events, our future performance and our future operations and actions. In some cases you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “may,” “should,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “future,” “intend,” “could,” “estimate,” “predict,” “hope,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms or other similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are only our predictions and involve numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements may be contained in the notes to our consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this report, including under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Some of the factors known to us that could cause our actual results to differ materially from what we have anticipated in our forward-looking statements are described below.
· Failure to effectively integrate the operations of Dansensor with ours;
· Decline in overall economic or business conditions;
· Ability to meet our debt obligations in a timely manner;
· The impact of complying with our bank covenants;
· Failure to successfully upgrade our ERP system;
· Impairment of our investment in Luxcel due to adverse operating results as compared to plan;
· Increases in prices for raw materials;
· Risks inherent in operating internationally and selling and shipping our products and purchasing our products and components internationally;
· Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates;
· Failure to develop new products and technologies, delays in new product introduction and lack of market acceptance of new products;
· Exposure to assertions of intellectual property claims and failure to protect our intellectual property;
· Disruption in our ability to manufacture our products or the ability of our key suppliers to provide us products or components or raw materials for products resulting in our inability to supply market demand for our products;
· Reliance on independent sales distributors and sales associates to market and sell our products;
· Highly competitive nature of the markets in which we sell our products and the introduction of competing products;
· Loss of customers;
· Failure to retain senior management or replace lost senior management;
· Reliance on our management information systems for inventory management, distribution, accounting and other functions;
· Effects of any potential litigation;
· Failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations and adverse changes in applicable laws or regulations; or
· Changes in generally accepted accounting principles

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Equity Price and Interest Rate Risk
Substantially all of our marketable securities, some of which are insured by the FDIC, are at fixed interest rates and mature within six months; therefore, we believe that the market risk arising from the holding of these financial instruments is minimal.
Foreign Currency Risk
Historically, in excess of 50% of our consolidated sales have been to international destinations. In our U.S. operations, we invoice most of these customers in U.S, dollars, so we do not have significant exposure to foreign currency transaction risk. In our European based operations, we have some exposure to foreign currency fluctuations as we invoice our customers primarily in euros, Danish krone and U.S. dollars. From time to time we use foreign exchange hedging contracts to reduce our exposure in these transactions. We also pay a small number of our international suppliers in their local currency which exposes us to transaction gain or loss. However, these have not resulted in material amounts in the past.
Our foreign operations expose us to foreign currency exchange risk when the Danish krone, euro and yuan currency results of operations are translated to U.S. dollars. We historically have not experienced any material foreign currency translation gains or losses, however, we have realized net foreign currency transaction losses in 2013 related to the valuation of our foreign currency contract. To mitigate the effect of any further currency fluctuations in our loan obligations for Dansensor, we purchased a foreign currency contract which acted as an economic hedge against any additional gains or losses.
Our investments in foreign subsidiaries translated into U.S. dollars are not hedged. Any changes in foreign currency exchange rates would be reflected as a foreign currency translation adjustment, a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity, and would not impact our net income.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Exchange Act), as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of such period, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the
27
Table of Contents
SEC’s rules and forms, and that material information relating to our Company and our consolidated subsidiaries is made known to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, particularly during the period when our periodic reports are being prepared.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our quarter ended June 30, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, except as noted below.
During the second quarter 2013, we implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system our domestic locations. The implementation of the new ERP system and the changes in workflow processes resulted in material changes to our internal controls over financial reporting. Therefore, we modified the design and documentation of internal control processes and procedures relating to the new system to replace and supplement existing internal controls over financial reporting, as appropriate. Due to unanticipated delays in our ability to produce timely financial reports as a result of converting to the new system, we filed Form 12b-25 Notification of Late Filing on August 9, 2013 with respect to our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. We realized that in some instances we could not place reliance on the financial information coming from the new system, so we undertook several additional manual processes which gave us reasonable assurance that our consolidated financial statements were fairly stated in all material respects. However, the time involved in undertaking these manual processes to assure ourselves that our financial information was complete and accurate caused us to delay the filing of this Form 10-Q.
We are actively working to resolve issues related to our ERP system so that the new processes and procedures which are inherent with the new system may be relied upon in the future without the need for manual processes. Until we resolve such issues, we may be required to continue to undertake manual processes to give us reasonable assurance that our consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in all material respects. Even if we do have to rely on manual processes in the future, we believe we will be able to obtain the information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports and have the required information recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
We are affected by risks specific to us as well as factors that affect all businesses operating in a global market. The significant factors known to us that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results or could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations are described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 under the heading “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors.” There has been no material change in those risk factors.
