On February 25, 1999, the Company entered into a sale-leaseback arrangement whereby the Company sold its land and building at 24 Carpenter Road in Chester, New York and leased it back for a period of 20 years. The leaseback is accounted for as an operating lease. The gain of $449,617 realized in this transaction has been deferred and is amortized to income in proportion to rental expense over the term of the related lease.
Rent expense for the years ended February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012 aggregated $132,504.
The provision for income taxes consisted of at February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012:
The Company had operating loss carry forwards, all of which were fully utilized by February 29, 2012.
The reconciliation of income taxes shown in the financial statements and amounts computed by applying the Federal expected tax rate of 34% is as follows:
The components of deferred tax liabilities at February 28, 2013 and February 29, 2012, respectively, are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | 2013 | | | 2012 | |
| | | | | | |
Deferred compensation cost | | | (62,424 | ) | | $ | — | |
| | | | | | | | |
Depreciation and amortization | | | (141,576 | ) | | | (121,363 | ) |
Deferred tax liabilities | | $ | (204,000 | ) | | $ | (121,363 | ) |
For the year ended February 28, 2013, approximately, 27.4% and 12.2% of the Company’s revenue were derived from two major customers. At February 28, 2013, accounts receivable due from these customers were $366,890 and $82,368, respectively.
For the year ended February 29, 2012, approximately, 19.2% and 17.6% of the Company’s revenue were derived from two major customers. At February 29, 2012, accounts receivable due from these customers were $160,470 and $98,185, respectively.
The largest customer in both years is a medical products and supplies distributor. Although a number of larger FREEDOM60(R) users have elected to consolidate their purchases through one or more distributors in recent years, we continue to maintain a strong direct relationship with them. We do not believe that their continued purchases of FREEDOM60 pumps, tubing, needle sets and related supplies is contingent upon the distributor.
The FDA cleared a 510(k) on May 6, 2013 for enhancements to the RMS Subcutaneous Safety Needle Sets which included formally recognizing our clinical studies to support the Safety Needle claim, additional lengths of 4mm and 14mm, use for greater than 24 hours, non-pyrogenic claims, the use of up to eight sites and the 24 gauge needle.
The Director loan with a balance of $437,832 as of February 28, 2013 was fully paid on May 17, 2013 as we concluded that the cash on hand was not earning the cost of the interest.
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
On October 20, 2011 McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C., was dismissed as REPRO-MED SYSTEMS, INC.’s (the “Company”) independent registered public accounting firm, as approved by the Board of Directors. McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C.’s, report on the Company’s financial statements for the two fiscal years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2011 and 2010, as well as the interim period preceding the dismissal of McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C., there were no disagreements or reportable events of the kind described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) between the Company and McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C., on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to the satisfaction of McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C., would have caused McGrail Merkel Quinn & Associates, P.C., to make a reference to the subject matter of the disagreement or reportable event in connection with the issuance of its audit reports.
On October 20, 2011, the Board of Directors of REPRO-MED SYSTEMS, INC. approved the engagement of Radin, Glass & Co., LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending February 29, 2012. Radin Glass & Co., LLP’s engagement as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm commenced on October 20, 2011.
During the years ended February 28, 2010 and February 28, 2011, and through October 20, 2011, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Radin Glass & Co., LLP with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, and neither a written report nor oral advice was provided to the Company that Radin Glass & Co., LLP concluded was an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of Regulation S-K) or a reportable event (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

ITEM 9A CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
An evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer or CEO, and Chief Financial Officer or CFO, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of February 28, 2013. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management of the Company is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed under the supervision of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, and implemented in conjunction with management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the Company’s financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
There are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of controls. Accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.
Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2013. This assessment was based on criteria for effective internal control over financial reporting described in “Internal Control - Integrated Framework,” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of February 28, 2013, the Company maintained effective internal control over financial reporting.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Act that permits the Company to provide only management’s report in the annual report.
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the fiscal year ended February 28, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
To reduce corporate travel expenses, we maintain and operate a corporate aircraft. Since 1992, the aircraft has been leased from AMI Aviation, Inc.
