Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020
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, 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three months ended July 31, 2021 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 HemoTemp® II Blood Monitoring Device, accounted for approximately 87.52% of the sales during the quarter ending July 31, 2021 and 86.4% during the quarter ending July 31, 2020. 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 various 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 beyond the stipulated due date. 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.

Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020
Depreciation
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.
Depreciation expense was $1,116 for each of the three month periods ending July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Prepaid Expenses
Certain expenses, primarily insurance and income taxes, have been prepaid and will be used within one year.
Revenue Recognition
The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)". The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step process to achieve that core principle and to determine when and how revenue is recognized.
The components as it relates to the Company are as follows:
• | The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sales of products directly to customers or through distribution channels, based on purchase orders and not supply contracts providing for additional goods or services once the products are transferred to the customer. The Company believes its performance obligations are satisfied upon shipment of goods to customers. The customers are billed at shipment, and revenue is recognized by the Company at that time. |
• | ASU No. 2014-09 requires that the Company recognize its sales return allowance on a gross basis rather than as a net liability. As such, the Company now recognizes a return asset for the right to recover the goods returned by the customer, measured at the former carrying amount of the products, less any expected recovery costs (recorded as an increase to prepaid expenses and other current assets), and a return liability for the amount of expected returns (recorded as an increase to other current liabilities). The Company’s analysis of sales returns over the past several years noted that sales returns are nominal and therefore no sales return allowance is deemed necessary. |
Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling fees billed to customer, if any, are netted against the related costs which are included in cost of sales. The net cost is not material.

Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020
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 filing, 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 benefit for income taxes consists of the following components for the three month periods ended July 31:
2021 | 2020 | |||||||
Current | ||||||||
Federal | $ | 0 | $ | (3,513 | ) | |||
State | 0 | (1,756 | ) | |||||
Deferred | (35,321 | ) | 0 | |||||
Provision for Income Taxes | $ | (35,321 | ) | $ | (5,269 | ) |
The differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows:
Period ended July 31, | ||||||
2021 | 2020 | |||||
U.S. federal statutory tax rate | (21.0 | %) | (21.0 | %) | ||
State income tax expense, net of Federal tax benefit | (7.5 | ) | (7 .5 | ) | ||
Effective Tax Rate | (28.5 | %) | (28.5 | %) |
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, are amortized over the life of the respective patent on the straight-line method.
Patent amortization expense for each of the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 were $3,411.
Patents relate to products that have been developed and are being marketed by the Company.

Notes to Financial Statements
Three Months Ended July 31, 2021 and 2020
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. Basic and diluted net income per common share is the same for the 1st quarter ended July 31, 2021 and 2020 as there are no common stock equivalents.
Comprehensive Income
Components of comprehensive income include amounts that are included in the comprehensive income but are excluded from net income. During the three month periods ending July 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no differences between the Company’s net income and comprehensive income.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company evaluates its financial instruments based on current market interest rates relative to stated interest rates, length to maturity and the existence of readily determinable market prices. Based on the Company’s analysis, the fair value of financial instruments recorded on the balances sheets as of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, approximates their carrying value.
Segments
Accounting standards have established annual reporting standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. The Company’s operations were a single reportable segment and an international segment. The international segment operations are immaterial. See Note 7.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
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 issued to date 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 5 - Related Party Transactions (Cont’d)
As of July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021, $24,862 was due from F. K. Suzuki International, Inc. (FKSI). This balance resulted from an allocation of common operating expenses charged to FKSI 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 total receivable balance has been reclassified as a contra equity account.
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 $29,549 and $4,832 for the three months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Note 6 – Lease Commitments
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842, Leases. Under its core principle, a lessee will recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all arrangements with terms longer than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains largely consistent with existing U.S. GAAP. At inception, a lessee must classify all leases as either finance or operating. In February 2020, the Company entered into a two-year lease agreement for its current facilities, which started May 1, 2020 and expires on April 30, 2022. Under the new lease standard, the Company’s lease was accounted for as an operating lease. As a result, the Company measured the lease liability using the two year term and rates per the lease agreement and recognized a lease liability, with a corresponding right-of-use asset. A discount was not calculated due to the lease agreement only having a two-year term.
The operating lease expense for the three months ending July 31, 2021 and 2020 was $24,143 and $24,143, respectively.
Maturities of lease liabilities as of July 31, 2021 are presented in the following table:

Shipments to 1 customer amounted to 33.17% of sales during the first three months of Fiscal 2022 compared to 33.29% during the comparative Fiscal 2021 period. As of July 31, 2021, there were outstanding accounts receivable from this customer of $61,999 compared to $82,460 at July 31, 2020. Shipments to another customer amounted to 39.98% of sales during the first three months of Fiscal 2022 and 34.66% of sales during the first three months of Fiscal 2021. As of July 31, 2021, there were outstanding accounts receivable from this customer of $59,176 compared to $107,544 at July 31, 2020.

The Company had export sales of $3,750 during the first three months of Fiscal 2022, and export sales of $11,640 during the first three months of Fiscal 2021. The Company also believes that some of its medical devices were sold to distributors within the United States who resold the devices in foreign markets. However, the Company does not have any information regarding such sales and such sales are not considered to be material.
Note 8 – COVID-19 Pandemic and Other Risks
The Company will face challenges in 2021 and 2022 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resignation of 3 employees since April 30, 2021. Such challenges will include (among other things) decreases or significant decreases in demand for certain products that is partially responsible for a decrease in sales for the quarter ending July 31, 2021, and increases in demand for others, collectability of customer accounts receivable from customers negatively impacted by the epidemic, managing the health and productivity of our employees working in our facility or working remotely, managing our information technology (IT) infrastructure and security for our employees working remotely, procuring adequate raw materials and packaging, as well as managing our supply chain and producing the Company’s products. We have worked closely with our domestic suppliers to source and maintain a consistent supply of raw material, ingredients and packaging to provide a steady supply of our products to our customers, and have entered into a contract manufacturing agreement with a third party to manufacture our liquid crystal temperature indicators. We are fortunate that to date that we have not been significantly impacted by the pandemic. However, the resignation of the employees since April 30, 2021 has impacted the short-term manufacturing capability and workflow resulting in backorders at July 31, 2021. We believe with the third party manufacturing arrangement and temporary packaging and shipping personnel, the Company will be able to continue supplying its customers with products.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net Sales/Revenues
For the three month period ending July 31, 2021 (“1st Quarter”), the net sales decreased 40%, or $116,613, as compared to net sales for the comparative three month period ending in 2020. The decrease in net sales during the 1st Quarter was primarily due to the resignation of certain production employees which resulted in production delays. As of July 31, 2021, the Company had back orders totaling $149,968. Effective August 6, 2021, the Company entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement with LCR Hallcrest, LLC for the manufacture of the Company’s liquid crystal products, such as HemoTemp II. As a result, the Company was able to ship all of the back orders at July 31, 2021 as of September 14, 2021.
In addition to the above, during the 1st Quarter the Company had $480 of other miscellaneous revenues primarily from leasing a portion of its storage space to a third party and interest income of $58.
Costs and Expenses
General
The operating expenses of the Company during the 1st Quarter decreased overall by 1.97%, or $3,509, as compared to the three month period ending July 31, 2020, primarily due to a decrease in production, marketing and research and development expenses offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales during the 1st Quarter decreased by $6,970 as compared to these expenses during the three month period ending July 31, 2020. This decrease was due primarily due to reduced salaries and related employee expenses in July as a result of the resignation of production employees during the 1st Quarter. As a percentage of sales, the cost of sales was 60% during the 1st Quarter compared to 38.39% for the three-month period ending July 31, 2020, due primarily to a decrease in sales, but with ongoing fixed costs. Subject to unanticipated increases in 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 for the 1st Quarter decreased by $10,787, or 26.9%, as compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2020. The decrease was mainly due to a reduction in staff as a result of the resignation of certain employees during the 1st Quarter. The Company is continuing research intended to improve and expand the Company’s current product line. The Company does not have sufficient information to determine the extent to which the Company will be required to allocate its resources to the continued development of these products.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses for the 1st Quarter decreased by 24.3%, or $10,976, as compared to the quarter ending July 31, 2020. The decrease was due to the resignation of certain employees during the 1st Quarter.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs for the 1st Quarter increased by $18,254, or 16.1%, as compared to the 3 month period ending July 31, 2020. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in professional services provided to the Company due to the resignation of certain employees during the 1st Quarter who previously provided such services. As a result of such employee resignations, it is likely general and administrative expenses will continue to be higher in Fiscal 2022 than Fiscal 2021.
Net Income (Loss)
The Company realized a net loss of $88,611 during the 1st Quarter as compared to a net loss of $13,220 for the comparative quarter of the prior year. The net loss during the first quarter was primarily due to lower sales due to the inability of the Company to produce its liquid crystal products during July, 2021.
Assets/Liabilities
General
Since April 30, 2021, the Company’s assets have decreased by $126,958 and liabilities have decreased by $38,347. The decrease in assets and liabilities is due to lower sales discussed above and a corresponding decrease in accounts receivable during the 1st Quarter.

The Company was owed $24,862 by F.K. Suzuki International, Inc. ("FKSI"), an affiliate, at July 31, 2021 and April 30, 2021. 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 cannot 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, the total amount owed by FKSI to the Company was reclassified as a reduction of FKSI’s capital in the Company.
A board member provides 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 $29,549 and $4,832 for the three month periods ending July 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Current Assets/Liabilities Ratio
The ratio of current assets to current liabilities, 13.9 to 1 at July 31, 2021, has increased compared to 13.3 to 1 at April 30, 2021, primarily due to lower accounts payables. The Company anticipates the ratio of current assets to current liabilities will remain substantially at its current level , subject to other normal fluctuations. In order to maintain or improve the Company’s asset/liabilities ratio, the Company’s operations must return to profitability.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the 1st Quarter, the Company experienced a decrease in working capital of $95,261. This was primarily due to lower sales due to the Company’s inability to produce liquid crystal products to fulfill customer orders which resulted in lower accounts receivable.
The Company has attempted to conserve working capital whenever possible. To this end, the Company attempts to keep inventory at minimum levels. During July of the 1st Quarter, the Company was unable to produce its liquid crystal products due to the resignation of certain employees, causing a shortage of finished goods. This resulted in the Company having back orders of liquid crystal products of $149,968 at July 31, 2021. The Company entered into a Contract Manufacturing Agreement with LCR Hallcrest, LLC on August 6, 2021. Pursuant to this Agreement, LCA Hallcrest, LLC will manufacture the Company’s liquid crystal products using raw materials supplied by the Company. The Company will continue to ship and sell the liquid crystal products manufactured by LCR Hallcrest, LLC. The Company believes that it will be able to maintain adequate finished goods inventory to supply its customers on a timely basis with LCR Hallcrest, LLC producing its liquid crystal products. The Company is required to carry sufficient finished inventory and raw materials to meet the delivery requirements of customers and thus, inventory will continue to represent a substantial portion of the Company’s current assets.
The Company presently grants payment terms to customers and dealers. Although the Company experiences varying collection periods of its accounts receivable, the Company believes that uncollectable accounts receivable will not have a significant effect on future liquidity.
Cash provided by operating activities was $46,586 during the three month period ending July 31, 2021. There was no cash used in investing activities. Except for operating 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 three month period ending July 31, 2021 or 2020.
As of July 31, 2021, the Company had $1,585,911 of current assets available. Of this amount, $29,620 was prepaid expenses, $128,069 was inventory, $130,515 was net trade receivables and $1,297,167 was cash. The Company’s available cash and cash flow are considered adequate to fund the short-term 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. Thus there is a risk additional financing may be necessary to fund long-term capital needs of the Company, although there is no such currently known long-term capital needs other than operations.
Effects of Inflation. With the exception of inventory, labor costs and product sales prices 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 on the Company’s revenues or income 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 1st 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 using 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:
Lease Commitments - On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued Topic 842, Leases. Under its core principle, a lessee will recognize lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for all arrangements with terms longer than 12 months. Lessor accounting remains largely consistent with existing U.S. GAAP. At inception, a lessee must classify all leases as either finance or operating. The Company classifies the lease for its facility in Elk Grove Village as an operating lease.
Revenue Recognition - In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (FASB) issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance provides a five-step process to achieve that core principle and to determine when and how revenue is recognized.
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 the collectability accounts receivable.

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. The Company’s primary exposure to market risk is the interest rate risk associated with its short term 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. The Company does not have any credit facilities with variable interest rates. Thus, 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 15d15(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 has 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 Chief Accounting Officer has concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
On July 2, 2021, Laurence Mead, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer, resigned. The Board of Directors elected Fred Suzuki as the Interim Chief Financial Officer, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer to serve until the Company is able to find replacements. The Audit Committee adopted new accounting and financial internal controls over financial reporting procedures to reflect changes in office and accounting personnel and ensure that proper controls remain in place.
