	1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	COMPANY BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
	Medical Action Industries Inc. (“Medical Action” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on April 1, 1977, and re-incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 5, 1987.  Headquartered in Brentwood, New York, Medical Action develops, manufactures, markets and supplies a variety of disposable medical products.  The Company’s products are marketed primarily to acute care facilities throughout the United States and certain international markets, and in recent years the Company has expanded its end-user markets to include physician, dental and veterinary offices, outpatient surgery centers and long-term care facilities.  Medical Action is a leading manufacturer and supplier of custom procedure trays, collection systems for the containment of medical waste, minor procedure kits and trays, disposable patient utensils, sterile operating room towels and sterile laparotomy sponges.  The Company’s products are marketed by its direct sales personnel and an extensive network of health care distributors.  Medical Action has entered into preferred vendor agreements with national and regional distributors, as well as sole and multi-source agreements with group purchasing organizations.  The Company also offers original equipment manufacturer products under private label programs to supply chain partners and medical suppliers.  Medical Action’s manufacturing, packaging and warehousing activities are conducted in its Arden, North Carolina and Toano, Virginia facilities.  The Company’s procurement of certain products and raw materials from the People’s Republic of China is administered by its office in Shanghai, China.  During fiscal 2014, we also conducted manufacturing, packaging and warehousing activities at our Clarksburg, West Virginia and Gallaway, Tennessee facilities.  These facilities were part of the assets sold in the Patient Care business unit divestiture completed on June 2, 2014 (the "Transaction"), as disclosed in Footnote 3 – Discontinued Operations.
	All dollar amounts presented in the notes to consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands, except share and per share data.
	BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION
	We operate as one reportable segment which is the manufacture and supply of disposable medical products. During the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012 international sales approximated 2% of our total net sales and the net book value of our long-lived assets held outside of the United States were immaterial at March 31, 2014 and 2013.
	PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	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, such as valuation of inventories, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, provision for trade rebates, pension benefits and accrued expenses, at 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.
	CASH EQUIVALENTS
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
	Accounts receivable are comprised principally of trade accounts receivable that arise primarily from the sale of goods on account and are stated at historical cost. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information.  The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and a provision for estimated credit losses is maintained based upon its historical experience and on specific customer collection issues that have been identified.  While such credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future.  Concentration risk exists relative to the Company’s accounts receivable, net, as Owens & Minor, Inc. and Cardinal Health Inc., (the “Distributors”) accounted for approximately 60% and 64% of accounts receivable, respectively as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.  While the accounts receivable related to these Distributors may be significant, the Company does not believe the credit risk to be significant given their consistent payment history.
	TRADE REBATES
	The Company provides rebates to distributors that sell to end-user customers at prices determined under a contract between the Company and the end-user customer or distributor.  The Company deducts all rebates from sales and has a provision for allowances based on historical information for all rebates that have not yet been processed. The provision for trade rebates (which is included in accounts receivable) amounted to $14,331 and $14,807 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	INVENTORIES, NET
	Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market net of reserve for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory.  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.
	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET
	Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Leases meeting the criteria for capitalization are recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized.  The carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the year of disposal.  Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes.
	A summary of property, plant and equipment, net, is as follows:
			March 31,
			2014			2013
	Land and buildings		$	19,079		$	29,751
	Property under capital lease			11,409			11,409
	Machinery and equipment			8,520			36,326
	Furniture and fixtures			3,161			3,351
	Computer hardware and software			1,546			2,192
	Total property, plant and equipment			43,715			83,029
	Less accumulated depreciation and amortization			17,554			38,069
	Property, plant and equipment, net		$	26,161		$	44,960
	At March 31, 2014, the Company reclassed $17,431 ($41,629 of gross carrying amount, less accumulated depreciation of $24,198) to reflect the property, plant and equipment that are included in the assets held for sale related to the Transaction, as disclosed in Footnote 3 – Discontinued Operations.
	Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
		Buildings (years)		40
		Machinery and equipment (years)	5	-	20
		Furniture and fixtures (years)	3	-	10
		Computer hardware and software (years)	2	-	7
	Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life or the term of the lease.
	Depreciation and amortization of property, plant and equipment amounted to $2,042, $2,259, and $2,890, for fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
	GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
	Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and other intangible assets (principally customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames). Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.
	Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
	The Company conducts its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31 of each year. The Company assesses the impairment of its goodwill by determining its fair value and comparing the fair value to its carrying value. For goodwill impairment testing purposes, the Company has determined that it operates under one reporting unit.
	The Company’s annual step one impairment testing as of December 31, 2012 indicated that the fair value of the Company was estimated to be less than its related carrying value. The fair value of the Company was estimated using a discounted cash flow and guideline company model. As a result of the step one testing, management determined that the goodwill balance of the Company was impaired and step two testing was necessary.
	Step two of the goodwill test consists of performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation, under which the estimated fair value of the Company is allocated to its tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values, with any residual amount being assigned to goodwill. During the step two analysis, it was determined that book value approximated fair value for the components of working capital except for finished goods and work-in-process inventory which was determined based on estimated selling prices less distribution costs and profit and costs to complete manufacture. Owned real estate and buildings were valued using recently completed real estate appraisals. Other property, plant and equipment items were valued using current market value estimates. The intangible assets related to customer relationships were valued using a present value of debt-free cash flow model and the trade names were valued using the relief-from-royalty model.
	The models used to determine the fair value of the Company in step one and the intangible assets in step two relied heavily on management’s assumptions. These assumptions, which are significant to the calculated fair values, are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 – Fair value measurement and disclosures , as they are unobservable. The assumptions in step one included a discount rate, revenue growth rates, tax rates and operating margins. In addition, the step two assumptions included customer attrition rates and royalty rates. The discount rate represents the expected return on capital. The discount rate was determined using a target structure of 15% debt and 85% equity. The Company used the 20-year U.S. Treasury bond yield to determine the risk-free rate in its weighted average cost of capital calculation. The projected growth rates and terminal growth rates are primarily driven by management’s estimate of future performance, giving consideration to historical performance and existing and anticipated economic and market conditions. Attrition assumptions used to value customer relationships are based on historical experience and management estimates based on historical financial information. To determine the royalty rates used to value trade names, the Company used industry benchmarks from licensing transactions. The assumption for tax rates are based on management’s estimates of blended federal and state income tax rates. Operating margin assumptions are based management’s estimate of future performance, giving consideration to historical performance and projected economic and competitive conditions.
	During fiscal 2013 the preliminary impairment analysis conducted at December 31, 2012 concluded that $78,609 of goodwill was impaired, which was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Due to the complexity of the analysis which involved completion of fair value analyses and the resolution of certain significant assumptions, management finalized this goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 by reducing the initial goodwill impairment charge by $829 to $77,780. Previous and subsequent analyses of goodwill did not indicate an impairment, therefore the amounts of impairment incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 represent the cumulative amount of goodwill impairment charges as of March 31, 2014.
	Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:
	Balance, March 31, 2012		$	107,801
	Goodwill impairment charge			(77,780	)
	Balance, March 31, 2013		$	30,021
	Amounts reclassified to assets held-for-sale			(10,877	)
	Balance, March 31, 2014		$	19,144
	The book values, accumulated amortization and original useful life by asset class of the Company’s other intangible assets as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
						31-Mar-14							31-Mar-13

Total					$	30,169	$	(6,432	)	$	23,737	$	46,966	$	(10,380	)	$	36,586
At March 31, 2014, the Company reclassed $10,236 ($18,997 of gross carrying amount, less accumulated amortization of $8,761) to reflect the customer relationships and other intangible assets that are included in the assets held for sale related to the Transaction, as disclosed in Footnote 3 – Discontinued Operations.
The amortization expense for other intangible assets amounted to $1,795, $1,795, and $1,795 for fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.  Estimated amortization expense related to these intangibles for the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:
	Fiscal Year		Amount
	2015		$	1,795
	2016			1,550
	2017			1,375
	2018			1,375
	2019			1,375
The Company evaluates trademarks with indefinite lives annually to determine whether events or circumstances continue to support the indefinite useful life.  No impairments of such assets were identified in fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012.  No trademarks were determined to have finite useful lives in any of the periods presented, with the exception of the trademarks acquired in the AVID acquisition, which have a useful life of 5 years.
ACCOUNTS PAYABLE
Cash overdrafts are included in accounts payable.  Such cash book overdrafts amounted to $5,690 and $5,372 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  For cash flow disclosure purposes, the Company reports the cash book overdrafts as an operating activity as opposed to a financing activity.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
The Company has incurred costs in obtaining financing.  These costs of approximately $1,068 as of March 31, 2014 are included in other assets and are being amortized over the life of the related financing arrangements through fiscal 2019. Total accumulated amortization was approximately $240 and $882 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In connection with the Company’s debt refinancing in May 2013 (see Footnote 8 – Long-Term Debt), the net balance of deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s prior debt was charged to operations during the twelve months ending March 31, 2014.

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
We must also assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized and, based on this assessment establish a valuation allowance, if required. The determination of our valuation allowance involves assumptions, judgments, and estimates, including forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and the relative proportions of revenue and income before taxes in the various state and local jurisdictions in which we operate. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or change the valuation allowance in a period, we reflect the change with a corresponding increase or decrease to our tax provision in our consolidated statement of operations.
We are also required to compute our current income tax expense in each federal, state, and local jurisdiction in which we operate. Our judgments, assumptions, and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws, and possible outcomes of current and future audits. Changes in tax laws or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations.
In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we recognize in our financial statements only those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not-recognition threshold.  For those tax positions where it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.  For those tax positions where it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements.  Interest and penalties associated with income tax matters are included in the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations. The provisions of ASC 740 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position.
CURRENCY
All of the Company’s sales and purchases were transacted in U.S. dollars.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense for the fair value of non-qualified stock options and restricted stock granted under its stock plans in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Stock Compensation.
EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE INFORMATION
Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without consideration of potential common stock.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding.  The calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options and restricted stock, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise, based on average prices during the year.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when the Company meets all of the criteria specified in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. These criteria include:
•                Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,
•                Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,
•                The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and
•                Collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.
Customer purchase orders and/or sales agreements evidence the Company’s sales arrangements. These purchase orders and sales agreements specify both selling prices and quantities, which are the basis for recording sales revenue. Any deviation from this policy requires management review and approval. Trade terms are negotiated on a customer by customer basis and for the majority of the Company’s sales include that title and risk of loss pass from the Company to the customer when the Company ships products from its facilities, which is when revenue is recognized. In instances of shipments made on consignment, revenue is deferred until a customer indicates to the Company that it has used the Company’s products. The Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and ships products only to customers that satisfy its credit evaluations. Products are shipped primarily to distributors at an agreed upon list price. Distributors then resell the products primarily to hospitals and depending on agreements between the Company, the distributors and the hospitals, the distributors may be entitled to a rebate. The Company deducts all rebates from sales and has a provision for allowances based on historical information for all rebates that have not yet been processed.
BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS
The Company manufactures and distributes disposable medical products principally to medical product distributors and hospitals located throughout the United States.  The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral.  Receivables are generally due within 30 – 90 days.  Credit losses relating to customers have historically been minimal and within management’s expectations.
Sales to Owens & Minor, Inc. and Cardinal Health Inc., (the “Distributors”) accounted for approximately 45% and 19% of net sales, respectively for fiscal 2014, 41% and 22% of net sales, respectively for fiscal 2013 and 44% and 22% of net sales, respectively for fiscal 2012.  Although the Distributors may be deemed in a technical sense to be major purchasers of the Company’s products, they typically serve as a distributor between the end user and the Company and do not make significant purchases for their own account.  The Company, therefore, does not believe it is appropriate to include the Distributors when evaluating customer concentrations.
A significant portion of the Company’s raw materials are purchased from China.  All such purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s financial results, therefore, could be impacted by factors such as foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign countries in the procurement of such raw materials should our suppliers increase prices to account for changes in foreign exchange rates.
FREIGHT AND DISTRIBUTION COSTS
Freight costs, which consist primarily of freight costs paid to third party carriers amounted to $6,323, $6,521 and $9,324 for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and are included in cost of sales. Distribution costs, which consist primarily of the salaries, warehousing and related expenses associated with the storing, packing and shipping costs of our products amounted to $3,249, $2,931 and $2,422 for fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Product development costs which are expensed as incurred were $1,171, $1,862, and $1,921 for fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively, and are included as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses.
ADVERTISING COSTS
Advertising costs charged to expense, as incurred, were $6, $41, and $20, for fiscal 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
We are required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value and to make disclosures about the fair value of certain other assets and liabilities.  Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.
Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
	·	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
	·	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
	·	Level 3 – Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
PRESENTATION OF AN UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFIT WHEN A NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARD, A SIMILAR TAX LOSS, OR A TAX CREDIT CARRYFORWARD EXISTS
In July 2013, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11 relating to income taxes (FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes), which provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The intent is to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.
INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS IMPAIRMENT TESTING
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”), which amended the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount before applying the second step of the impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the second step of the impairment test for that indefinite-lived intangible asset. The new standard is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, which for us was April 1, 2013. We adopted this amended guidance in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.

	On March 12, 2014, the Company entered into a purchase agreement with an affiliate of Inteplast Group, Ltd. for the sale of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Medegen Medical Products, LLC, and certain other assets which comprised the Company’s Patient Care business unit (the “Transaction”).  The Company retained the cash, accounts receivable and all liabilities associated with the business unit except for an environmental liability.  On June 2, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Patient Care business unit for gross proceeds of $78,628, subject to customary post-closing adjustments (see Footnote 15 – Subsequent Events).
	As of March 31, 2014, the Company has classified the assets and liabilities subject to the purchase agreement as held for sale and presented the results of operations of the Patient Care business unit for fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 as discontinued operations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	The aggregate components of the assets and liabilities classified as held for sale, are as follows;

	Total, net	$	32,718	$	53,014
	At March 31, 2014, the Company reclassed $18,369 ($19,156 of inventories, less provisions for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory of $787) to reflect the inventories that are included in the assets held for sale related to the Transaction, as disclosed in Footnote 3 – Discontinued Operations.
	On a continuing basis, inventory quantities on hand are reviewed and an analysis of the provision for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory is performed based primarily on the Company’s sales history and anticipated future demand.  Such provision for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory approximated $953 and $1,091 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	In fiscal 2013 we identified an overstatement of inventories at our West Virginia location that arose during the five year period ended March 31, 2012 and the nine months ended December 31, 2012.  After consideration of both quantitative and qualitative factors, we determined the amounts were not material to any of those prior period financial statements or the fiscal 2013 consolidated results of operations and thus corrected the inventory balance in the fiscal year 2013 and the three months ended March 31, 2013.  The adjustment resulted in a reduction of inventory of $829, with a corresponding increase in cost of sales in the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013.

	Total deferred tax liabilities	$	15,122		$	14,230
	Net deferred tax liability	$	5,281		$	5,005
	In assessing whether the deferred tax asset is realizable, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible.
	The Company maintains a valuation allowance against certain state net operating loss carry forwards as the Company could not conclude that it will be able to utilize the state net operating loss carry forwards on a more-likely-than-not basis. During fiscal 2014, the Company decreased its valuation allowance by $20.  As of March 31, 2014, the Company’s valuation allowance amounted to $1,017.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding interest and penalties, is as follows:
	Balance at March 31, 2012	$	21
	Additions based on tax positions taken in the current and prior years		526
	Balance at March 31, 2013	$	547

	Balance at March 31, 2014	$	887
	The Company records accrued interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the provision for income taxes in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. The accrued gross interest and penalties were $125 as of March 31, 2014 and $48 as of March 31, 2013. In addition, the Company believes that the uncertain tax positions will not materially change within the next twelve months.
	The Company is subject to taxation by the U.S. Government and various state and local jurisdictions.  The Company’s U.S. federal tax return and most state jurisdictions remain open to examination for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 through March 31, 2014.  During fiscal 2014, the Company concluded a New York State examination for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 with an immaterial assessment.  The Company is currently subject to income tax audits in New Jersey and Massachusetts, however, the examinations are preliminary.

	As part of the assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the AVID acquisition, the Company assumed a capital lease obligation for the AVID facility located in Toano, Virginia. The facility, which includes a 185,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building and approximately 12 acres of land, is owned by an affiliate of Micpar Realty, LLC (“Micpar”). AVID’s founder, former CEO and former principal stockholder, is a part owner of Micpar and subsequent to the acquisition of AVID was appointed to the Company’s board of directors. As of August 2012, he no longer served on the Company’s board of directors. As of March 31, 2014, the capital lease requires monthly payments of $129 with increases of 2% per annum. The lease contains provisions for an option to buy January 2015 and expires in March 2029. The effective rate on the capital lease obligation is 9.9%.

	On May 17, 2013, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), among the Company, as borrower and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender.  The New Credit Agreement provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $65,000 consisting of the following loans: (1) a $11,505 secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) fully drawn by the Company on May 17, 2013, (2) $5,000 in unsecured delayed draw term loans (collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) and (3) up to $53,495 in revolving loans (collectively, the “Revolving Loans”), which may be reduced by the amount of any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans drawn by the Company.  The proceeds from the New Credit Agreement were used to repay the Prior Credit Agreement (as described below).  This repayment took place on June 2, 2014 commensurate with the completion of the divestiture of the Patient Care business unit.  Consequently, the entire outstanding balance has been classified as current on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2014.
	The Revolving Loans will be used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of the Company and for permitted acquisitions.  The Term Loan and Revolving Loan mature on May 17, 2018.  The commitments with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loans terminate on May 17, 2015 and any Delayed Draw Term Loans drawn by the Company also mature on May 17, 2015.  The Term Loan amortizes in consecutive monthly installments, each in the principal amount of $137, commencing June 1, 2013.  Any Delayed Draw Term Loan drawn by the Company will amortize in consecutive monthly installments, each in the principal amount equal to the result of (1) the original principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan divided by (2) the number of months remaining from the date the Delayed Draw Term Loan was drawn until May 17, 2015.  Any undrawn commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loans will be reduced by $208 on each calendar month, commencing June 1, 2013.
	In the event the outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan exceeds the sum of (1) a specified percentage of the value of real property (calculated at least twice during the term of the New Credit Agreement) and (2) a specified percentage of the value of equipment (calculated at least once per calendar year), we will be required to prepay the excess.  The Revolving Loans are subject to a borrowing base such that the total outstanding Revolving Loans may not exceed specified percentages of the value of eligible receivables and finished goods, raw materials, work-in-process and in-transit inventory, all calculated at least monthly.  In the event the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans under the New Credit Agreement exceeds this borrowing base, the Company will be required to prepay the excess.
	Term Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the election of the Company, (1) LIBOR Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00%, depending on the Average Access Availability (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, depending on the Average Access Availability at the time of calculation.  Revolving Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the election of the Company, (i) LIBOR Rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%, depending on the Average Access Availability at the time of calculation, or (ii) Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, depending on the Average Access Availability at the time of calculation.  Additionally, the Company is required to pay an unused line fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Loan commitments of the Lender during the period for which the payment is made, payable monthly in arrears.  If drawn, Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the election of the Company, (1) LIBOR Rate plus a margin ranging from 4.25% to 4.75%, depending on the Average Access Availability at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 3.25% to 3.75%, depending on the Average Access Availability at the time of calculation.
	During fiscal 2014, the average interest rate on the Term Loan under the New Credit Agreement approximated 2.86% and the average interest rate on the Revolving Loans under the New Credit Agreement approximated 3.22%.
	Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all the assets of, and are fully guaranteed by, the Company and its subsidiaries.  The New Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, guarantee obligations, sell assets, make loans and investments, enter into merger and acquisition transactions, and declare or make dividends.  The Company committed to certain post-closing conditions, including providing monthly financial statements, annual updates of financial projections, and the filing of a mortgage on the Company’s Brentwood, New York corporate headquarters.  If the Company’s Excess Availability (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) falls below a specified amount, the Company will become subject to financial covenants relating to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00, measured on a month-end basis.  If the Company draws a Delayed Draw Term Loan, the Company will be required to comply with a maximum leverage financial ratio covenant ranging from 3:00 to 1:00 to 3.25 to 1:00, measured on a month-end basis.
	On June 2, 2014, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement and Guaranty and Security Agreement (the “Amendment”), among the Company, as borrower, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender (the “Lender”).
	The Amendment amended the terms of the New Credit Agreement that the Company entered into with the Lender on May 17, 2013, as follows: (a) the Lender’s maximum total loan commitments under the Credit Agreement were reduced from $65,000 to $55,000, (b) provided no Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs and is continuing, the unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) that the Company is required to pay the Lender, has been capped at 0.375% of the daily unused amount of the revolving loan commitments of the Lender during the period for which the payment is made, through and including December 31, 2014, and (c) solely for purposes of calculating the Unused Line Fee, the aggregate amount of the Lender’s revolving loan commitments was deemed to be the lesser of $30,000 and the actual aggregate amount of the Lender’s revolving loan commitments.
	As a result of the Transaction, the Company repaid all amounts outstanding on both the Revolving and Term loans under the New Credit Agreement subsequent to year end and has recorded all amounts due related to the New Credit Agreement as current as of March 31, 2014.
	The Company had unamortized financing costs of $1,068 and $879 in other assets, net as of March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  Of the amount at March 31, 2014, approximately $216 is related to the Term Loan and, as a result of the Transaction, will be charged to interest expense during the three months ending June 30, 2014.  The remaining balance represents costs associated with the Revolving Loans and will be amortized over the remaining life of the New Credit Agreement using the straight-line interest method.
	On June 7, 2012, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acting as administrative agent for the lenders. The Prior Credit Agreement provided the Company with total borrowings of up to $76,000, consisting of (1) a secured term loan with a principal amount of $51,000 and (2) a secured revolving credit facility, which amounts may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed up to $25,000.  Both the term loan and the revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 4% under the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.  The average interest rate on the term loan under the Prior Credit Agreement approximated 6.25% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014, and the average interest rate on the revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement approximated 4.25% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.
	On May 17, 2013, a portion of the proceeds from the New Credit Agreement was used to repay all amounts owed under the Prior Credit Agreement.  Upon such repayment, all obligations under the Prior Credit Agreement were satisfied and the agreement was terminated.

	9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
	Due to their maturities and/or variable interest rates, certain financial instruments have fair values that approximate their carrying values. These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade payables and our outstanding debt under the Company’s term loan and revolving credit facility. The book value and the fair value of the Company’s capital lease obligation amounted to $13,471 and $15,479, respectively as of March 31, 2014. The fair value was determined based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate and is considered a Level 3 input. As discussed in Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Level 3 inputs were used in the fair value calculation related to the step-one impairment analysis as well as the fair value calculation of the Company’s property, plant and equipment, inventories, capital lease and other intangible assets in the step-two impairment analysis during the year ended March 31, 2013.

	11.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY AND STOCK PLANS
	The Company accounts for its three stock-based compensation plans in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718, Stock Compensation.  Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the related award, and is recognized as an expense over the service period applicable to the grantee.  The service period is the period of time that the grantee must provide services to the Company before the stock-based compensation is fully vested.
	STOCK OPTIONS
	The Company currently grants stock options under the 1989 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the “Non-Qualified Option Plan”), the 1994 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) and the 1996 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan (the “Director Plan”). The Non-Qualified Option Plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders and provides for the grant of stock options with an exercise price equal to the fair market price or at a value that is not less than 85% of the fair market value on the date of grant and are exercisable in three installments on the second, third and fourth anniversary of the date of grant. The Incentive Plan was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors and stockholders and provides for the granting of incentive stock options, shares of restricted stock and non-qualified stock options to all officers and key employees of the Company and its affiliates at an exercise price that may not be less than the fair market value of a share of common stock at the time of grant. The Director Plan was approved by the stockholders in August 1996 and as amended, grants each non-employee director of the Company an option to purchase 7,500 shares of the Company’s common stock after each year of service. All options granted under the above plans expire from five to ten years from the date of grant unless the employment is terminated, in which event, subject to certain exceptions, the options terminate two months subsequent to date of termination.
	RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS
	Grants of restricted stock are common stock awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions.  The restricted stock issued vests based upon the recipients continued service over time (five-year vesting period).  The Company estimates the fair value of restricted stock based on the Company’s closing stock price on the date of grant.
	The following is a summary of the changes in restricted stock granted under the Incentive Plan for the fiscal years presented:
			Fiscal Year Ended March 31,

	VALUATION ASSUMPTIONS FOR STOCK OPTION GRANTS
	The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes options pricing model. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. The expected term of the options is based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior.  The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury rates at the date of grant with maturity dates approximately equal to the life of the grant.  The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to determine the fair value of options granted during the following periods:
			Fiscal Year Ended March, 31
			2014				2013				2012
	Expected dividend yield			0	%			0	%			0	%
	Expected volatility			63.02	%			63.34	%			64.44	%
	Risk-free interest rate			1.04	%			1.64	%			2.36	%
	Expected life (years)			5.37				5.33				5.33
	Weighted average fair value of options granted		$	4.37			$	1.99			$	2.99
	STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE
	The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense (before deferred income tax benefits) for awards granted under the Company’s stock-based compensation plans in the following line items in the consolidated statements of operations for fiscal 2014, 2013, and 2012:
			2014				2013				2012
	Cost of sales		$	4			$	16			$	11

	401(k) PLAN
	Effective January 1, 2010, the Company amended its 401(k) retirement plan to be subject to the provisions of a “Safe Harbor” 401(k) plan.  Under the provisions of the Safe Harbor plan, any discretionary matching company contribution becomes 100% vested upon match.  The plan provides for a discretionary match of up to 4% of an eligible employee’s compensation.  Under the prior plan, adopted in April 1988, any remaining unvested company discretionary matching contributions are subject to a four year vesting schedule.  The Company’s contributions under both the 1988 plan and the Safe Harbor plan amounted to $771 in fiscal 2014, $789 in fiscal 2013 and $690 in fiscal 2012.
	DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN
	The Company assumed a defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) with the Medegen Medical Products, LLC (“MMP”) acquisition.  The Plan covers certain employees of MMP who are members of the Service Employees International Union.  The benefit accruals for the Plan were frozen as of December 31, 1999.  The Company’s funding policy is to make the minimum annual contributions required by applicable regulations.  Such contributions are expected to amount to $125 during fiscal 2015.
	The following table sets forth the Plan’s funded status and amount recognized in the Company’s financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

	The Company’s investment policy for the Plan’s assets is to balance risk and return through a diversified portfolio of marketable securities, including common and preferred stocks, convertible securities, government, municipal and corporate bonds, mutual and collective investment funds and short-term money market instruments.  Maturities for fixed income securities are managed so that sufficient liquidity exists to meet near-term benefit-payment obligations.  The expected rate of return on plan assets is based upon expectations of long-term average rates of return to be achieved by the underlying investment portfolios.  In establishing this assumption, the Company considers historical and expected rates of return for the asset classes in which the Plan’s assets are invested, as well as current economic and capital market conditions.
	Weighted-average asset allocation by asset category as of March 31, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	The Company has entered into agreements with seven of its executive officers and a vice president, which provide certain benefits in the event of a change in control of the Company.  A “change in control” of the Company is defined as, in general, the acquisition by any person of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the voting stock of the Company, certain business combinations involving the Company or a change in a majority of the incumbent members of the Board of Directors, except for changes in the majority of such members approved by such members.  If, within two years after a change in control, the Company or, in certain circumstances, the executive, terminates his employment, the executive is entitled to a severance payment equal to 2.99 times (1) such executive’s highest annual salary within the five-year period preceding termination plus (2) a bonus increment equal to the average of the two highest of the last five bonuses paid to such executive.  In addition, the executive is entitled to the continuation of all employment benefits for a three-year period, the vesting of all stock options and certain other benefits.  As of March 31, 2014, the estimated potential aggregate compensation payable to these seven executive officers and vice president under the Company’s compensation and benefit plans and arrangements in the event of termination of such executive’s employment following a change in control amounted to approximately $12,556.
	The Company’s Tennessee facility, which is comprised of approximately 25 acres in a light industrial park located in Gallaway, Tennessee, was acquired by Medegen Medical Products, LLC in 1999 prior to the Company’s ownership of Medegen.  In connection with an environmental due diligence evaluation of the facility prior to its acquisition by Medegen, consultants detected the presence of chlorinated solvents in groundwater beneath the manufacturing plant.  The identified groundwater contamination is in the process of being remediated.  At the time of our acquisition of Medegen, the prior owner of the facility agreed to retain responsibility for the remediation of the contamination and to fully indemnify our company for all costs associated with the environmental remediation as well as any claims that might arise, including third party claims.  Under an agreement executed at the time of the sale, Vollrath Group, Inc. and its parent Windway Capital Corp. (collectively, “Indemnitor”) are required, on a quarterly basis, to provide documentation from independent parties confirming that Indemnitor has sufficient assets, in the form of unencumbered, unrestricted cash, marketable securities or unused and available borrowing capacity, as necessary to pay the most recently estimated costs of outstanding environmental remediation obligations.  Now that full-scale remediation is underway at the site, Indemnitor is also required to provide Letters of Credit (“LC”) to secure its current and future obligations, including a $2,000 LC that is currently open and future LCs in the amount of $1,000 from December 7, 2014 through December 7, 2017.  As of March 31, 2014, we have recorded an estimated liability of $4,200 to remediate the groundwater contamination and corresponding amount due from the Indemnitor.  As part of the divestiture of the Patient Care business unit, the related asset and liabilities are reported as held for sale at March 31, 2014 (see Footnote 3 – Discontinued Operations).

COMPANY BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Medical Action Industries Inc. (“Medical Action” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on April 1, 1977, and re-incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on November 5, 1987.  Headquartered in Brentwood, New York, Medical Action develops, manufactures, markets and supplies a variety of disposable medical products.  The Company’s products are marketed primarily to acute care facilities throughout the United States and certain international markets, and in recent years the Company has expanded its end-user markets to include physician, dental and veterinary offices, outpatient surgery centers and long-term care facilities.  Medical Action is a leading manufacturer and supplier of custom procedure trays, collection systems for the containment of medical waste, minor procedure kits and trays, disposable patient utensils, sterile operating room towels and sterile laparotomy sponges.  The Company’s products are marketed by its direct sales personnel and an extensive network of health care distributors.  Medical Action has entered into preferred vendor agreements with national and regional distributors, as well as sole and multi-source agreements with group purchasing organizations.  The Company also offers original equipment manufacturer products under private label programs to supply chain partners and medical suppliers.  Medical Action’s manufacturing, packaging and warehousing activities are conducted in its Arden, North Carolina and Toano, Virginia facilities.  The Company’s procurement of certain products and raw materials from the People’s Republic of China is administered by its office in Shanghai, China.  During fiscal 2014, we also conducted manufacturing, packaging and warehousing activities at our Clarksburg, West Virginia and Gallaway, Tennessee facilities.  These facilities were part of the assets sold in the Patient Care business unit divestiture completed on June 2, 2014 (the "Transaction"), as disclosed in Footnote 3 – Discontinued Operations.

All dollar amounts presented in the notes to consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands, except share and per share data.

Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

BUSINESS SEGMENTS AND OTHER FINANCIAL INFORMATION

We operate as one reportable segment which is the manufacture and supply of disposable medical products. During the fiscal years ended 2014, 2013 and 2012 international sales approximated 2% of our total net sales and the net book value of our long-lived assets held outside of the United States were immaterial at March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

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, such as valuation of inventories, allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of deferred tax assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, provision for trade rebates, pension benefits and accrued expenses, at 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.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Receivables, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Accounts receivable are comprised principally of trade accounts receivable that arise primarily from the sale of goods on account and are stated at historical cost. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations on its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information.  The Company continuously monitors collections and payments from customers and a provision for estimated credit losses is maintained based upon its historical experience and on specific customer collection issues that have been identified.  While such credit losses have historically been within the Company’s expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee that the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future.  Concentration risk exists relative to the Company’s accounts receivable, net, as Owens & Minor, Inc. and Cardinal Health Inc., (the “Distributors”) accounted for approximately 60% and 64% of accounts receivable, respectively as of March 31, 2014 and 2013.  While the accounts receivable related to these Distributors may be significant, the Company does not believe the credit risk to be significant given their consistent payment history.

Trade Rebate [Policy Text Block]

'

TRADE REBATES

The Company provides rebates to distributors that sell to end-user customers at prices determined under a contract between the Company and the end-user customer or distributor.  The Company deducts all rebates from sales and has a provision for allowances based on historical information for all rebates that have not yet been processed. The provision for trade rebates (which is included in accounts receivable) amounted to $14,331 and $14,807 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

INVENTORIES, NET

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market net of reserve for excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory.  Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method.

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization.  Leases meeting the criteria for capitalization are recorded at the present value of future minimum lease payments.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred and expenditures for major improvements are capitalized.  The carrying amount and related accumulated depreciation of assets sold or otherwise disposed of are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in operations in the year of disposal.  Accelerated methods of depreciation are used for tax purposes.

A summary of property, plant and equipment, net, is as follows:

Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill and other intangible assets consist of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired (goodwill) and other intangible assets (principally customer relationships, trademarks and tradenames). Values assigned to the respective assets are determined in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations and ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are required to be tested for impairment at least annually or more frequently if an event occurs or circumstances change that could more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. Intangible assets with estimable useful lives are required to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.

The Company conducts its goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives as of December 31 of each year. The Company assesses the impairment of its goodwill by determining its fair value and comparing the fair value to its carrying value. For goodwill impairment testing purposes, the Company has determined that it operates under one reporting unit.

The Company’s annual step one impairment testing as of December 31, 2012 indicated that the fair value of the Company was estimated to be less than its related carrying value. The fair value of the Company was estimated using a discounted cash flow and guideline company model. As a result of the step one testing, management determined that the goodwill balance of the Company was impaired and step two testing was necessary.

Step two of the goodwill test consists of performing a hypothetical purchase price allocation, under which the estimated fair value of the Company is allocated to its tangible and intangible assets based on their estimated fair values, with any residual amount being assigned to goodwill. During the step two analysis, it was determined that book value approximated fair value for the components of working capital except for finished goods and work-in-process inventory which was determined based on estimated selling prices less distribution costs and profit and costs to complete manufacture. Owned real estate and buildings were valued using recently completed real estate appraisals. Other property, plant and equipment items were valued using current market value estimates. The intangible assets related to customer relationships were valued using a present value of debt-free cash flow model and the trade names were valued using the relief-from-royalty model.

The models used to determine the fair value of the Company in step one and the intangible assets in step two relied heavily on management’s assumptions. These assumptions, which are significant to the calculated fair values, are considered Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 – Fair value measurement and disclosures , as they are unobservable. The assumptions in step one included a discount rate, revenue growth rates, tax rates and operating margins. In addition, the step two assumptions included customer attrition rates and royalty rates. The discount rate represents the expected return on capital. The discount rate was determined using a target structure of 15% debt and 85% equity. The Company used the 20-year U.S. Treasury bond yield to determine the risk-free rate in its weighted average cost of capital calculation. The projected growth rates and terminal growth rates are primarily driven by management’s estimate of future performance, giving consideration to historical performance and existing and anticipated economic and market conditions. Attrition assumptions used to value customer relationships are based on historical experience and management estimates based on historical financial information. To determine the royalty rates used to value trade names, the Company used industry benchmarks from licensing transactions. The assumption for tax rates are based on management’s estimates of blended federal and state income tax rates. Operating margin assumptions are based management’s estimate of future performance, giving consideration to historical performance and projected economic and competitive conditions.

During fiscal 2013 the preliminary impairment analysis conducted at December 31, 2012 concluded that $78,609 of goodwill was impaired, which was recorded in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2012. Due to the complexity of the analysis which involved completion of fair value analyses and the resolution of certain significant assumptions, management finalized this goodwill impairment charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013 by reducing the initial goodwill impairment charge by $829 to $77,780. Previous and subsequent analyses of goodwill did not indicate an impairment, therefore the amounts of impairment incurred during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 represent the cumulative amount of goodwill impairment charges as of March 31, 2014.

Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill were as follows:

DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS

The Company has incurred costs in obtaining financing.  These costs of approximately $1,068 as of March 31, 2014 are included in other assets and are being amortized over the life of the related financing arrangements through fiscal 2019. Total accumulated amortization was approximately $240 and $882 at March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In connection with the Company’s debt refinancing in May 2013 (see Footnote 8 – Long-Term Debt), the net balance of deferred financing costs associated with the Company’s prior debt was charged to operations during the twelve months ending March 31, 2014.

Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

INCOME TAXES

We account for income taxes under the asset and liability method.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carry forwards.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.  The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

We must also assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized and, based on this assessment establish a valuation allowance, if required. The determination of our valuation allowance involves assumptions, judgments, and estimates, including forecasted earnings, future taxable income, and the relative proportions of revenue and income before taxes in the various state and local jurisdictions in which we operate. To the extent we establish a valuation allowance or change the valuation allowance in a period, we reflect the change with a corresponding increase or decrease to our tax provision in our consolidated statement of operations.

We are also required to compute our current income tax expense in each federal, state, and local jurisdiction in which we operate. Our judgments, assumptions, and estimates relative to the current provision for income tax take into account current tax laws, our interpretation of current tax laws, and possible outcomes of current and future audits. Changes in tax laws or our interpretation of tax laws and the resolution of current and future tax audits could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of operations.

In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, Income Taxes, we recognize in our financial statements only those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not-recognition threshold.  For those tax positions where it is more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, we have recorded the largest amount of tax benefit with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.  For those tax positions where it is not more-likely-than-not that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit has been recognized in the consolidated financial statements.  Interest and penalties associated with income tax matters are included in the provision for income taxes in our consolidated statements of operations. The provisions of ASC 740 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE INFORMATION

Basic earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without consideration of potential common stock.  Diluted earnings (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding.  The calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options and restricted stock, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise, based on average prices during the year.

Revenue from the sale of products is recognized when the Company meets all of the criteria specified in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. These criteria include:

•                Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists,

•                Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered,

•                The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and

•                Collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured.

Customer purchase orders and/or sales agreements evidence the Company’s sales arrangements. These purchase orders and sales agreements specify both selling prices and quantities, which are the basis for recording sales revenue. Any deviation from this policy requires management review and approval. Trade terms are negotiated on a customer by customer basis and for the majority of the Company’s sales include that title and risk of loss pass from the Company to the customer when the Company ships products from its facilities, which is when revenue is recognized. In instances of shipments made on consignment, revenue is deferred until a customer indicates to the Company that it has used the Company’s products. The Company conducts ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and ships products only to customers that satisfy its credit evaluations. Products are shipped primarily to distributors at an agreed upon list price. Distributors then resell the products primarily to hospitals and depending on agreements between the Company, the distributors and the hospitals, the distributors may be entitled to a rebate. The Company deducts all rebates from sales and has a provision for allowances based on historical information for all rebates that have not yet been processed

Concentration Risk, Credit Risk, Policy [Policy Text Block]

BUSINESS CONCENTRATIONS AND MAJOR CUSTOMERS

The Company manufactures and distributes disposable medical products principally to medical product distributors and hospitals located throughout the United States.  The Company performs credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral.  Receivables are generally due within 30 – 90 days.  Credit losses relating to customers have historically been minimal and within management’s expectations.

Sales to Owens & Minor, Inc. and Cardinal Health Inc., (the “Distributors”) accounted for approximately 45% and 19% of net sales, respectively for fiscal 2014, 41% and 22% of net sales, respectively for fiscal 2013 and 44% and 22% of net sales, respectively for fiscal 2012.  Although the Distributors may be deemed in a technical sense to be major purchasers of the Company’s products, they typically serve as a distributor between the end user and the Company and do not make significant purchases for their own account.  The Company, therefore, does not believe it is appropriate to include the Distributors when evaluating customer concentrations.

A significant portion of the Company’s raw materials are purchased from China.  All such purchases are transacted in U.S. dollars.  The Company’s financial results, therefore, could be impacted by factors such as foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in foreign countries in the procurement of such raw materials should our suppliers increase prices to account for changes in foreign exchange rates.

Fair Value Measurement, Policy [Policy Text Block]

'

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

We are required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value and to make disclosures about the fair value of certain other assets and liabilities.  Fair value is the price the Company would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction with a market participant at the measurement date. In the absence of active markets for identical assets or liabilities, such measurements involve developing assumptions based on market observable data and, in the absence of such data, internal information that is consistent with what market participants would use in a hypothetical transaction that occurs at the measurement date.

Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. Preference is given to observable inputs. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:

·

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

·

Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

·

Level 3 – Significant inputs to the valuation model are unobservable.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

PRESENTATION OF AN UNRECOGNIZED TAX BENEFIT WHEN A NET OPERATING LOSS CARRYFORWARD, A SIMILAR TAX LOSS, OR A TAX CREDIT CARRYFORWARD EXISTS

In July 2013, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11 relating to income taxes (FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes), which provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The intent is to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS IMPAIRMENT TESTING

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment (“ASU 2012-02”), which amended the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount before applying the second step of the impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the second step of the impairment test for that indefinite-lived intangible asset. The new standard is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2012, which for us was April 1, 2013. We adopted this amended guidance in the third quarter of fiscal 2014. The adoption of this guidance did not impact our financial position or results of operations.
