Note 1 - Company Organization and Description
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for the periods presented. The unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Company’s April 30, 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
Biosynergy, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois on February 9, 1976. It is primarily engaged in the development and marketing of medical, consumer and industrial thermometric and thermographic products that utilize cholesteric liquid crystals. The Company’s primary product, the HemoTempR II Blood Monitoring Device, accounted for approximately 89.5% of the sales during the quarter ending January 31, 2015 and 89.7% during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015. The products are sold to hospitals, clinical end-users, laboratories and product dealers located throughout the United States.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash
The Company maintains all of its cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times may exceed federally insured limits. No losses have been experienced on such accounts.
Receivables
Receivables are carried at original invoice less estimates made for doubtful receivables. Management determines the allowances for doubtful accounts by reviewing and identifying troubled accounts on a periodic basis and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. A receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 30 days. Receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of receivables previously written off are recorded when received.
Inventories
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method.
Depreciation and Amortization
Equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense as incurred; renewals and betterments which significantly extend the useful lives of existing equipment are capitalized. Significant leasehold improvements are capitalized and amortized over the term of the lease; equipment is depreciated over three to ten years.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Prepaid Expenses
Certain expenses, primarily insurance and income taxes, have been prepaid and will be used within one year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes net sales revenue upon the shipment of product to customers.
Research and Development and Patents
Research and development expenditures are charged to operations as incurred. The costs of obtaining patents, primarily legal fees, are capitalized and once obtained, amortized over the life of the respective patent on the straight-line method.
The Company is developing certain Gelpaks intended for use in temperature control. On September 2, 2014, the Company was granted a design patent entitled “Rollup GelPak for Test Tubes,” the Patent Number D712,559 related to the Company’s HemoCoolTM Gel-Pak. This patent will expire on September 2, 2028. Another patent was granted on October 14, 2014 entitled “Method of Producing Eggshell Powder,” Patent Number 8,859,010. This patent will expire on May 28, 2024. On January 31, 2015 the Company abandoned “Liquid Conductive Cooling/Heating Device and Method of Use,” Patent Number 457,276,046 relating to the Company’s ThermolyzerTM which was granted October 2, 2007. The write off for this patent is $9,862.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Per Common Share
Income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. When dilutive, stock options are included as share equivalents using the treasury stock method in the calculation of diluted earnings per share. The Company has no outstanding options or other rights to acquire its unissued common shares.
Comprehensive Income
Components of comprehensive income include amounts that are included in the comprehensive income but are excluded from net income. During the quarter endings and nine month periods ending January 31, 2015 and 2014, there were no differences between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Income Taxes
Income taxes are provided for the tax effects of transactions reported in the financial statements and consist of taxes currently due and deferred taxes related primarily to differences in the methods of accounting for patents, inventories, certain accrued expenses and bad debt expenses for financial and income tax reporting purposes. The deferred income taxes represent the future tax consequences of those differences, which will be taxable in the future.
The Company files tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and with the state of Illinois. Various tax years remain open to examinations, generally for three years after filed, although there are currently no ongoing tax examinations. Management’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
The provision for income taxes consists of the following components as of January 31:
| | | 2015 | | | | 2014 | |
Current | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | $ | 23,775 | | | $ | 18,193 | |
State | | | 9,929 | | | | 7,091 | |
Provision for Income Taxes | | $ | 33,704 | | | $ | 25,284 | |
The differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows:
| | Nine Months ended January 31, |
| | 2015 | | 2014 |
U.S. federal statutory tax rate | | | 34.0 | % | | | 34.0 | % |

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.
The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements and have not yet determined the method by which we will adopt the standard as of May 1, 2017.
The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritative literature in Accounting Standards Certification (ASC). There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text of ASCs. Those ASUs recently issued either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections, (iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.

Note 4 – Common Stock
The Company’s common stock is traded in the over-the-counter market. However, there is no established public trading market due to limited and sporadic trades. The Company’s common stock is not listed on a recognized market or stock exchange.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
The Company and its affiliates are related through common stock ownership as follows as of January 31, 2015:

_________________
| (1) | Effective December 13, 2013, Fred K. Suzuki and Jeanne S. Addis, Trustee, gifted 3,051 shares each of F.K. Suzuki International, Inc. (“FKSI”) common stock to Laurence C. Mead. As a result of these gifts, Laurence C. Mead currently owns 10,102 shares, or approximately 10% of the outstanding common stock of FKSI. |
As of January 31, 2015, $19,699 was due from F. K. Suzuki International, Inc. These balances result from an allocation of common expenses charged to FKSI prior to April 30, 2006 offset by advances received from time to time. No interest income is received or accrued by the Company. The financial condition of FKSI is such that it will unlikely be able to repay the Company during the next year without liquidating a portion of its assets, including a portion of its ownership in the Company. As a result, the receivable balance has been reclassified as a contra equity account since April 30, 2006.
A board member provided a variety of legal services to the Company in his capacity as a partner in a law firm. Fees for such legal services were approximately $27,365 and $21,656 for the nine months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Note 6 - Major Customers
Shipments to one customer amounted to 29.9% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2015 compared to 34.87% during the comparative Fiscal 2014 period. As of January 31, 2015, there were outstanding accounts receivable from this customer of $61,643 compared to $69,534 at January 31, 2014. Shipments to another customer amounted to 34.51% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2015 and 28.65% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2014. As of January 31, 2015, there were outstanding accounts receivable from this customer of $51,250 compared to $26,835 at January 31, 2014.
Item 2.Management’s Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Net Sales/Revenues
For the three month period ending January 31, 2015 (“3rd Quarter”), the net sales increased 14.97%, or $40,867, and increased 5.9%, or $55,602, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015, as compared to net sales for the comparative periods ending in 2014. This increase in sales is primarily the result of higher demand for HemoTempR II and HemoTempR II activators. At January 31, 2015 there were $8,220 in HemoTempR II back orders and $38,500 at January 31, 2014. The Company filled all back orders by the end of February, 2015.
In addition, during the 3rd Quarter the Company had $606 of miscellaneous revenues primarily from interest income and leasing a portion of its storage space to an unrelated party as compared to $617 in the prior year.
Costs and Expenses
General
The operating expenses of the Company during the 3rd Quarter increased overall by 7.69%, or $13,410, as compared to the 3rd quarter in 2014 primarily due to an increase in health insurance costs and legal fees and the write off of the ThermolyzerTMpatent. The operating expenses of the Company increased by 2.73%, or $15,307, for the nine month period ending January 31, 2015, primarily due to increases in health insurance costs and legal fees, and the write off of the ThermolyzerTM.
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales during the 3rd Quarter increased by $2,590, and increased by $9,680 during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015 as compared to these expenses during the same periods ending in 2014. The increase during the 3rd Quarter was primarily due to increased employee benefits and raw material costs. As a percentage of sales, the cost of sales were 32.95% during the 3rd Quarter, 36.93% for the comparative quarter ending in 2014, and 31.72% during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015 compared to 32.57% in 2014. Subject to unanticipated changes in the price of raw materials or extraordinary occurrences, it is not anticipated that the cost of sales as a percentage of sales will materially change in the near future.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and Development costs increased $13, or .03%, during the 3rd Quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2014. These costs decreased by $254, or .23%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The overall cost in research and development expense has remained basically the same during the comparative time periods. The Company is continuing its investigation and development of certain products intended to improve and expand its current product line. The Company does not have sufficient information to determine the extent to which its resources will be required to complete the development of such products.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses for the 3rd Quarter increased by $2,041, or 4.35%, as compared to the quarter ending January 31, 2014. These costs increased by $1,639, or 1.14%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014. The increase is primarily due to production of artwork for product promotion.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs for the 3rd Quarter increased by $11,356, or 12.97%, as compared to the 3rd quarter ending January 31, 2014, primarily due to an increase in employee health insurance premiums, legal expenses and the write off of the ThermolyzerTM patent. General and administrative costs have increased overall by $13,923, or 4.52%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015, as compared to the same periods in 2014, primarily due to an increase in employee health insurance costs, legal expenses and the write off of the ThermolyzerTM patent.
Net Income
The Company realized a net income of $15,926 during the 3rd Quarter as compared to a net loss of $3,096 for the comparative quarter in the prior year. The Company also realized a net income of $73,057 for the nine month period ending January 31, 2015 as compared to a net income of $50,965 during the same period in 2014. The increase in net income is due to an increase in net sales as described above .
Assets/Liabilities
General
Since April 30, 2014, the Company's assets have increased by $43,416 and liabilities have decreased by $29,641. The increase in assets, primarily cash, is a result of the Company’s continued profitability and cash generated from operations.
Related Party Transactions
The Company was owed $19,699 by F.K. Suzuki International, Inc. ("FKSI"), an affiliate, at January 31, 2015 and April 30, 2014. This account primarily represents common expenses which were previously charged by the Company to FKSI for reimbursement. No interest is received or accrued by the Company. Collectability of the amounts due from FKSI since April 30, 2006 could not be assured without the liquidation of all or a portion of its assets, including a portion of its common stock of the Company. As a result, as of April 30, 2006, all of the amount owed by FKSI to the Company was reclassified as a reduction of FKSI’s capital in the Company.
Current Assets/Liabilities Ratio
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities, 26.42 to 1, has increased compared to 15.69 to 1 at April 30, 2014. This increase in ratio of current assets to current liabilities is a result of increased cash and reduction in accruals. In order to maintain or improve the Company’s asset/liabilities ratio, the Company’s operations must remain profitable.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine month period ending January 31, 2015, the Company experienced an increase in working capital of $71,704. This is primarily due to the Company’s increase in cash and a decrease in accrued expenses.
The Company has attempted to conserve working capital whenever possible. To this end, the Company attempts to keep inventory at minimum levels. The Company believes that it will be able to maintain adequate inventory to supply its customers on a timely basis by careful planning and forecasting demand for its products. However, the Company is nevertheless required to carry a minimum amount of finished inventory and raw materials to meet the delivery requirements of customers and thus, inventory represents a material portion of the Company’s investment in current assets.
The Company presently grants payment terms to customers and dealers of 30 days. Although the Company experiences varying collection periods of its accounts receivable, based on past experience, the Company believes that uncollectable accounts receivable will not have a significant effect on future liquidity.
Cash provided by operating activities was $101,216 during the nine month period ending January 31, 2015. An aggregate of $24,719 was used for equipment purchases and patent application expenditures during this same period. Except for its operating working capital, limited equipment purchases and patent expenses, management is not aware of any other material capital requirements or material contingencies for which it must provide. There were no cash flows from financing activities during the nine month periods ending January 31, 2015 or 2014.
As of January 31, 2015, the Company had $1,248,912 of current assets available. Of this amount, $26,606 was prepaid expenses, $131,056 was inventory, $150,225 was net trade receivables and $941,025 was cash. The Company’s available cash and cash flow from operations is considered adequate to fund the short-term operating capital needs of the Company. The Company does not have a working line of credit, and does not anticipate obtaining a working line of credit in the near future. There is a risk financing may be necessary to fund long-term capital needs of the Company.
Effects of Inflation. With the exception of inventory and labor costs increasing with inflation, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s revenues and income from continuing operations in the past three years. Inflation is not expected to have a material effect in the foreseeable future.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates. On December 12, 2001, the SEC issued FR-60 “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies.” FR-60 is an intermediate step to alert companies to the need for greater investor awareness of the sensitivity of financial statements to the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying their preparation, including the judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditions or using different assumptions.
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements for the 3rd Quarter. See “Financial Statements.” Except as noted below, the impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation would not have been materially different had the Company reported under different conditions or used different assumptions. The policies which may have materially affected the financial position and results of operations of the Company if such information had been reported under different circumstances or assumptions are:
Use of Estimates - preparation of financial statements and conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The financial condition of the Company and results of operations may differ from the estimates and assumptions made by management in preparation of the Financial Statements accompanying this report.
Allowance for Bad Debts - The Company periodically performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral to support amounts due from the sale of its products. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its best estimate of collectability of accounts receivable.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report may contain statements which, to the extent they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Reform Act"). Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results may differ materially from such forward-looking statements for reasons including, but not limited to, changes to and developments in the legislative and regulatory environments effecting the Company’s business, the impact of competitive products and services, changes in the medical and laboratory industries caused by various factors, risks inherit in marketing new products, as well as other factors as set forth in this report. Thus, such forward-looking statements should not be relied upon to indicate the actual results which might be obtained by the Company. No representation or warranty of any kind is given with respect to the accuracy of such forward-looking information. The forward-looking information has been prepared by the management of the Company and has not been reviewed or compiled by independent public accountants.
Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Historically, the Company’s primary exposure to market risk has been interest rate risk associated with its short term money market investments. The Company currently does not have any money market investments. The Company does not have any financial instruments held for trading or other speculative purposes and does not invest in derivative financial instruments, interest rate swaps or other investments that alter interest rate exposure. Thus, the Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates. The Company’s operations are not exposed to financial risk that will have a material impact on its financial position and results of operation.
Item 4.Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) which are controls and other procedures of the Company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Accounting Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s Fiscal Quarter ending January 31, 2015 that have materially affected or are likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
