Notes to Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
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.
Biosynergy, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois on February 9, 1976. Prior to selling substantially all of its assets as described below, it was 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 83.41% of the sales during the nine months ending January 31, 2022 and 89.74% during the nine months ending January 31, 2021. The products are sold to hospitals, clinical end-users, laboratories and product dealers located throughout the United States.
Note 2-Liquidation and Dissolution
On November 23, 2021 the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with LCR Hallcrest, LLC (“Hallcrest”) for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets to Hallcrest (the “Transaction”). The Agreement contemplated the Transaction would be implemented through legal proceedings pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the Illinois Business Corporations Act (“BCA”). On November 24, 2021, Biosynergy filed a verified complaint (the “Complaint”) with the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, (the ”Court”), Case No. 2021CH05951 seeking a judicial dissolution and sale of Biosynergy’s assets pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the BCA. The complaint alleged that Biosynergy is a small publically traded company that has run out of viable options to continue in business for the benefit of its shareholders, or for the medical customers it serves.
On December 28, 2021, the Court entered an order finding that Biosynergy has established “dissolution is reasonably necessary because the business of the corporation can no longer be conducted to the general advantage of its shareholders.” The Court ordered Articles of Dissolution to be filed in accordance with BCA Section 12.20 and authorized and empowered Biosynergy to wind-down its business consistent with BCA Section 12.30. On January 18, 2022, the Company sold substantially all of its assets to Hallcrest, except for cash on hand and accounts receivable, and discontinued operations. Hallcrest paid a purchase price of $1,504,496 in cash for the assets (of which $150,000 was paid into an indemnification escrow account to be held for 6 months as security for damages caused by a breach of representations and warranties in the Agreement by the Company). The Company retained all liabilities consisting of trade payables, rent and utilities for its facility, and all transaction expenses related to the Transaction. The Company plans to change the name of the Company (as required under the Agreement) and file Articles of Dissolution prior to March 31, 2022. Shortly thereafter, the Company intends to deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company will distribute the proceeds from the sale of its assets and available cash less transaction expenses, income taxes and the expenses related to dissolving the Company to its shareholders after release of the funds in the indemnification escrow account described above.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Liquidation Basis of Accounting
Contemporaneously with the intent to dissolve and sell the business, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective on November 23, 2021. The liquidation basis of accounting will continue to be used by the Company until such time that the dissolution is completed and all net cash has been distributed to its shareholders.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the carrying amounts of assets as of the close of business on November 23, 2021, the date of the sale of the Company’s assets and cessation of business, were adjusted to their estimated net realizable values and liabilities, including the estimated costs associated with implementing the dissolution, were stated at their estimated settlement amounts.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, the valuations of assets at their net realizable values and liabilities at their anticipated settlement amounts represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances associated with carrying out the dissolution based on the assumptions set forth below. The actual values and costs associated with carrying out the dissolution and liquidation are expected to differ from the amounts shown herein because of the inherent uncertainty of the estimates. Such differences may be material. In particular, the estimates of the Company’s liquidation costs will vary with the length of time it takes to collect outstanding receivables and the cost to distribute available cash to its shareholders. Accordingly, it is not possible to predict the aggregate amount or timing of future distributions to shareholders, and no assurance can be given that the amount of liquidating distributions to be received will equal or exceed the estimate of amounts in liquidation presented in the accompanying Balance Sheets.
The estimated net costs to be incurred during liquidation, which are accrued, as of January 31, 2022 are as follows:
Rent | | $ | 16,330 | |
Compliance costs and income tax return preparation | | $ | 10,000 | |
Professional fees | | $ | 155,000 | |
Income taxes | | $ | 267,965 | |
Costs to be incurred during liquidation | | $ | 449,295 | |
These estimates are based on assumptions regarding the ultimate timing of distributions to its shareholders, but does not include any legal expenses, if any, that the Company might incur as a result of any legal proceedings. These estimates are reviewed periodically and adjusted as projections and assumptions change.
Going Concern Basis of Accounting
For all periods prior to the plan to sell the Company’s assets on November 23, 2021, the Company’s financial statements are presented on the going concern basis of accounting. Such financial statements reflect the historical basis of assets and liabilities and historical results of operations for the period of May 1, 2021 to January 18, 2022.
BIOSYNERGY, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
Cash
The Company maintains all of its cash, including the cash proceeds from the sale of its assets, 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.
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 $3,062 and $3,348 for the nine month periods ending January 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 Accounting Standards Update (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 was 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 were satisfied upon shipment of goods to customers. The customers were billed at shipment, and revenue was recognized by the Company at that time. |
BIOSYNERGY, INC.
Notes to Financial Statements
Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
• | 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.
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 provision for income taxes consists of the following components for the nine month periods ended January 31:
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
Current | | | | | | | | |
Federal | | $ | 178,965 | | | $ | 3,903 | |
State | | | 89,000 | | | | 1,952 | |
Deferred | | | (24,992 | ) | | | - | |

Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
The differences between the U.S. federal statutory tax rate and the Company’s effective tax rate are as follows:
| | Period ended January 31, | |
| | 2022 | | | 2021 | |
U.S. federal statutory tax rate | | | 21.0 | % | | | 21.0 | % |

Other adjustments | | | (2.7 | )% | | | | |
Effective Tax Rate | | | 25.8 | % | | | 28.5 | % |
Research and Development and Patents
Research and development expenditures were charged to operations as incurred. The costs of obtaining patents, primarily legal fees, were capitalized and, once obtained, were amortized over the life of the respective patent on the straight-line method.
Patent amortization expense for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 were $9,096 and $10,233 respectively.
Patents related to products that were developed and were being marketed by the Company.
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 nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 as there are no common stock equivalents.
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 January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021, approximates their carrying value.

As of January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021, $24,862 was due from F. K. Suzuki International, Inc. (FKSI). 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, and an advance of $5,163 in Fiscal 2020 for corporate compliance costs. No interest income is received or accrued by the Company. The financial condition of FKSI was such that it seemed unlikely to be able to repay the Company within 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 was reclassified as a contra equity account. Once the cash assets of the Company are distributed to the shareholders, FKSI will be able to repay the advances.
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 $142,400 and $7,982 for the nine months ended January 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively.

Note 7 – 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 nine months ending January 31, 2022 and 2021 was $72,108 and $72,427, respectively.
Maturities of lease liabilities as of January 31, 2022 are presented in the following table:
Year Ending April 30: | |

The Company does not intend to renew the lease once it expires.

Shipments to another customer amounted to 41.22% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2022 and 37.46% of sales during the first nine months of Fiscal 2021. As of January 31, 2022, there were outstanding accounts receivable from this customer of $214,587 compared to $121,915 at January 31, 2021.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Recent Developments
Biosynergy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) on November 23, 2021 with LCR Hallcrest, LLC (“Hallcrest”) for the sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets to Hallcrest (the “Asset Sale”). The Agreement contemplated the Asset Sale would be implemented through legal proceedings pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the Illinois Business Corporations Act (“BCA”). On November 24, 2021, Biosynergy filed a verified complaint (the “Complaint”) with the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Chancery Division, (the ”Court”), Case No. 2021CH05951 seeking a judicial dissolution and sale of Biosynergy’s assets pursuant to 805 ILCS 5/12.05 et seq. of the BCA. The complaint alleged that Biosynergy is a small publically traded company that has run out of viable options to continue in business for the benefit of its shareholders, or for the medical customers it serves.
On December 28, 2021, the Court entered an order finding that Biosynergy has established “dissolution is reasonably necessary because the business of the corporation can no longer be conducted to the general advantage of its shareholders.” The Court ordered Articles of Dissolution to be filed in accordance with BCA Section 12.20 and authorized and empowered Biosynergy to wind-down its business consistent with BCA Section 12.30.
The Company completed the Asset Sale on January 18, 2022. The Company sold all of its assets in the Asset Sale except for cash on hand and accounts receivable. As consideration for the Asset Sale, Hallcrest paid a purchase price of $1,504,496 in cash (of which $150,000 was paid into an indemnification escrow account to be held for 6 months as security for damages caused by a breach of representations and warranties in the Agreement by the Company). The Company retained all liabilities consisting of trade payables, rent and utilities for the premises at 1940 E. Devon, Elk Grove Village, Illinois through April 30, 2022, and all transaction expenses related to the Asset Sale.
The Company plans to change the name of the Company (as required under the Agreement) and file Articles of Dissolution prior to March 31, 2022. Shortly thereafter, the Company intends to deregister its common stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company plans to dissolve and distribute the proceeds from the Asset Sale and available cash, less the expenses of the Asset Sale, income taxes, and the expenses of dissolving the Company to its shareholders after release of the funds in the indemnification escrow account described above.
The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Asset Sale contemplated by the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2021, the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on January 5, 2022, the Current Report filed on Form 8-K filed on January 21, 2022, and the Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on November 30, 2021, and is incorporated by reference herein.
For all periods prior to the asset sale agreement on November 23, 2021, the Company’s financial statements are presented on a going concern basis of accounting. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the Company adopted the liquidation basis of accounting effective on November 23, 2021. The liquidation basis of accounting will continue to be used by the Company until such time that the dissolution is completed and all net cash has been distributed to its shareholders.
Under the liquidation basis of accounting, assets are stated at their realizable values and liabilities are stated at their estimated settlement amounts, which estimates are periodically reviewed and adjusted. Uncertainties as to the precise value of non-cash assets and the costs of winding down the Company make it impractical to predict the net value that will be available to distribute to the shareholders. Although we do not have a precise estimate of the costs that will be incurred to wind down the Company, management believes there is sufficient cash to pay all liabilities and expenses and make cash distributions to the shareholders. If adequate cash is not available to pay liabilities and the expenses to wind down the Company, estimated future distributions to shareholders will be reduced.
The Company reported in the accompanying financial statements that its net assets in liquidation aggregate are $2,461,111, or $16.47 per share, to distribute to its shareholders. The valuation of the net realizable value of the Company’s assets and the Company’s liabilities at their settlement amounts requires many estimates and assumptions. In addition, there are substantial risks and uncertainties associated the liquidation and winding down of the Company. The valuations set forth in the accompanying financial statements represent estimates, based on present facts and circumstances, of the value of assets and costs associated with the liquidation of the Company, and are subject to change.
Overview of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (Going Concern Basis)
The Company was primarily engaged in the development and marketing of medical, consumer and industrial thermometric and thermographic products that utilize cholesteric liquid crystals prior to January 18, 2022. The products were sold to hospitals, clinical end-users, laboratories and product dealers located throughout the United States. Note that while the discussion below refers to the period ended January 31, 2022, the Company ceased doing business on January 18, 2022 irrespective of the periods indicated.
Net Sales/Revenues
For the three month period ending January 31, 2022 (“3rd Quarter”), the net sales increased 22.99%, or $60,937, and increased 17.57%, or $152,836, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2022, as compared to net sales for the comparative periods ending in 2021. The increase in sales during the three and nine month periods ending January 31, 2022 was primarily the result of increased HemoTemp® II sales. At January 18, 2022 there were no back orders.
In addition, during the 3rd Quarter the Company had $525 of miscellaneous revenues and $1,682 for the nine month period ending January 31, 2022, primarily from interest income and leasing a portion of its storage space to an unrelated party.
Costs and Expenses
General
The operating expenses of the Company during the 3rd Quarter increased overall by 129.68%, or $228,504, as compared to the 3rd quarter in 2021. The operating expenses of the Company increased by 51.57%, or $278,253, for the nine month period ending January 31, 2022, as compared to the nine month period ending January 31, 2021. The overall increase in operating expenses was primarily due to the use of temporary independent contractors to replace employees who resigned earlier in 2021.
Cost of Sales
The cost of sales during the 3rd Quarter increased by $28,837, and increased by $184,039 during the nine month period ending January 31, 2022 as compared to these expenses during the same periods ending in 2021. Due to the resignation of manufacturing employees, the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement with Hallcrest to manufacture its products other than liquid crystals. The increase in the cost of sales during the 3rd Quarter and the nine month period ending January 31, 2022 was primarily due to the increased cost for Hallcrest to manufacture Biosynergy’s products. These increased costs to manufacture also resulted in a material decrease in the Company’s gross profit margin.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and Development costs decreased $15,822, or 36.73%, during the 3rd Quarter as compared to the same quarter in 2021. These costs decreased by $33,350, or 27.81%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The overall cost in research and development expense decreased during the nine months due to lower employee costs as a result of employee resignations in 2021 and reduced development activities as the Company was winding down.
Marketing Expenses
Marketing expenses for the 3rd Quarter decreased by $19,980, or 47.52%, as compared to the quarter ending January 31, 2021. These costs decreased by $47,375, or 37.54%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease is primarily due to lower employee costs and no travel during the respective periods.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative costs for the 3rd Quarter increased by $265,306, or 291.26%, as compared to the 3rd quarter ending January 31, 2021, and increased by $358,882, or 122.24%, during the nine month period ending January 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to higher legal and accounting fees related to the dissolution and liquidation of the Company and the use of temporary independent contractors to perform accounting and related services required as a result of the resignation of employees in 2021.
Net Income (Loss) from Operations
The Company realized a net loss from operations of $206,829 during the 3rd Quarter as compared to a net loss of $10,425 for the comparative quarter in the prior year primarily due to increased costs of operation. The Company also realized a net loss of $300,126 for the nine month period ending January 31, 2022 as compared to a net income of $9,229 during the same period in 2021. This decrease in net income is due an overall increase in the operating expenses of the Company as discussed above.
Assets/Liabilities
General
Since April 30, 2021, the Company's assets have increased by $1,098,155 primarily as a result of the gain from the Asset Sale. Liabilities have increased by $401,032 (excluding the liquidation redemption liability) primarily due to income taxes payable as a result of the Asset Sale and the cost of liquidation of the Company.

Related Party Transactions
As of January 31, 2022 and April 30, 2021, $24,862 was due from F.K. Suzuki International, Inc. ("FKSI"). 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, and an advance of $5,163 in Fiscal 2020 for corporate compliance costs. No interest income has been received or accrued by the Company. The financial condition of FKSI was such that it was unlikely able to repay the Company within one year without liquidating a portion of its assets, including a portion of its ownership in the Company. As a result, the receivable balance was reclassified as contra equity account. However, once the cash assets from the liquidation of the Company are distributed to the shareholders, FKSI will be able to repay the advances.
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 $142,400 and $7,982 for the nine months ending January 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the nine month period ending January 31, 2022, the Company experienced an increase in cash of $1,233,981 as the result of the Asset Sale. The Company has $150,000 in an indemnity escrow that is anticipated to be returned to the Company six months after the Asset Sale. The Company also had $286,646 in accounts receivable to be collected. Assuming collection of all accounts receivable, less the accounts payable and expenses of completing the liquidation and wind down, the Company estimates to have $2,461,111 for distribution to the shareholders.
Cash used by operating activities was $120,515 during the nine month period ending January 31, 2022. Cash provided by investing activities was $1,354,496 during this same period as a result of the Asset Sale. Except for the expenses related to the liquidation and wind down of the Company to be incurred in the future, management is not aware of any other material capital requirements or material contingencies for which it must provide.
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 3 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:
BIOSYNERGY, INC.
Nine Months Ended January 31, 2022 and 2021
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 – The Company accounts for revenue in accordance with ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). 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 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. 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 is not exposed to financial risk that will have a material impact on its financial position.
