NOTE 1

BASIS OF
PRESENTATION
The
accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
and the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission for interim financial information with the instructions to Form 10-Q
and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include
all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management's

–
ORGANIZATION, NATURE OF OPERATIONS
AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SheerVision,
Inc. (the “
Company
”), a
Delaware corporation, designs and sells surgical loupes, light systems and
related optical products for the dental, medical and veterinary markets.
Through its exclusive arrangements with manufacturers based in
Asia, it can provide these surgical loupes and light systems directly to
end-users at substantially lower prices than similar competitors' products. The
Company has also recently negotiated favorable terms with multiple United States
manufacturers, and is currently manufacturing a number of products
domestically.
Principles
of Consolidation
All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation.
Risks
and Uncertainties
The
Company operates in an industry that is subject to intense competition and rapid
technological change and is in a state of fluctuation as a result of the credit
crisis occurring in the United States. The Company's operations are
subject to significant risk and uncertainties including financial, operational,
technological, and regulatory risks including the potential risk of business
failure.
Also see
Note 3 regarding going concern matters.
Use
of Estimates
The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities 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
The
Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of
three months or less to be cash equivalents.
The
Company minimizes its credit risk associated with cash by periodically
evaluating the credit quality of its primary financial institution. The balance
at times may exceed federally insured limits. At February 28, 2009 and August
31, 2008, respectively, the balance did not exceed the federally insured
limit.

Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts
receivable represent balances due from customers for the sale of the Company’s
products. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided for those accounts
receivable considered to be potentially uncollectible, based upon historical
experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding accounts receivable at
each reporting period. At February 28, 2009 and August 31, 2008, respectively,
there was no allowance required.
Inventory
Inventory is valued at the lower of
cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis. At February 28, 2009
and August 31, 2008, respectively, inventory consisted of finished goods and raw
materials. At February 28, 2009, the Company only purchased inventory as
finished goods and no longer carries raw materials as
inventory. Because of the technical nature of the products, the
Company may be exposed to a number of factors that could result in portions of
its inventory becoming either obsolete or in excess of anticipated usage. These
factors include, but are not limited to, technological changes in its markets,
competitive pressures in products and prices, and the introduction of new
product lines. The Company regularly evaluates its ability to realize the value
of its inventory based on a combination of factors, including historical usage
rates, forecasted sales, product life cycles, and market acceptance of new
products. When inventory that is obsolete or in excess of anticipated usage is
identified, it is written down to realizable value or an inventory valuation
reserve is established.
For the three and six months ended
February 28, 2009, and for the year ended August 31, 2008, respectively, the
Company did not record any write-downs to net realizable value for
obsolescence.
Long
Lived Assets
In
accordance with Statement of Financial Statements SFAS No. 144, “
Accounting for
Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets”
, the Company carries long-lived assets at the lower of the
carrying amount or fair value. Impairment is evaluated by estimating future
undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its
eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted future cash flow
is less than the carrying amount of the assets, an impairment loss is
recognized. Fair value, for purposes of calculating impairment, is measured
based on estimated future cash flows, discounted at a market rate of
interest. There were no impairment losses recorded during the three
and six months ended February 28, 2009.
Property
and Equipment
Property
and equipment are stated at cost and are being depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets,
generally five to seven years.
Leasehold improvements
are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful
lives of the assets or the remaining lease terms. The Company follows the
practice of charging maintenance renewals and minor repairs to expense as
incurred. Renewals and betterments that materially increase the value of the
property are capitalized.
Fair
Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s
short-term financial instruments, including accounts receivable, inventory,
prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses
and other current liabilities, and line of credit payable, approximate fair
value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these
instruments.

Revenue
Recognition
The
Company follows the guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 104 for revenue recognition. The Company’s
surgical loupes and lighting products need no installation and are ready for use
upon receipt by the customer.
The
Company records revenue when all of the following have occurred: (1) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) the product is delivered, (3) the sales
price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (4) collectibility is
reasonably assured. Products sold are delivered by shipments made through
common carrier and revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer.
Discounts and sales incentives are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the
time of sale. The Company offers an unconditional satisfaction guarantee
for a 30 day period and permits product returns within 30 days of purchase, at
which time returns are accepted and refunds are made. Historically,
returns have been minimal. The Company has evaluated the criteria under SFAS No.
48, “
Revenue Recognition when
Right of Return Exists”
and has determined that recognition of revenue on
the date of shipment is appropriate. As a result, management has
determined that no reserve is required. Shipping charges and special orders are
nonrefundable.
Cost
of Sales
Cost of
sales represents costs directly related to the production and sale of the
Company’s products. Primary costs include raw materials, direct labor, payroll,
commissions and rental charges.
Advertising
In
accordance with Accounting Standards Executive Committee Statement of Position
93-7, (“
SOP 93-7
”)
costs incurred for producing and communicating advertising of the Company, are
charged to operations as incurred.
Advertising
expense has been included in the statement of operations as selling and
marketing expense.
Product
Development
The
Company expenses all product development costs as incurred for which there is no
alternative future use.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method in
accordance with SFAS No. 109, “
Accounting for Income Taxes
”.
The asset and liability method provides that deferred tax assets and liabilities
be recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences
between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for
operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company
records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that
is believed more likely than not to be realized.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48 “
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes-An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109
” (“
FIN 48
”). FIN 48
contains a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax
positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by
determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than
not, that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of
related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure
the tax benefit as the largest amount, which is more than 50% likely of being
realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company considers many factors when
evaluating and estimating the Company’s tax positions and tax benefits, which
may require periodic adjustments. At February 28, 2009, the Company did not
record any liabilities for uncertain tax positions.

Earnings
per Share
The
Company computes net loss per share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “
Earnings per Share
” (“
SFAS No. 128
”). SFAS
No. 128 requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share
(“
EPS
”) on the face of
the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss)
available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive
potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options,
using the treasury stock method, and convertible preferred stock, using the
if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the
period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from
the exercise or conversion of stock options, warrants and convertible preferred
stock. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect
is anti-dilutive. As of February 28, 2009, the Company had 1,488,989 warrants,
2,938,011 convertible preferred stock shares, and 411,000 stock options shares
that could potentially dilute future earnings (loss) per share; hence, they have
been excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share and diluted earnings (loss)
per share is not presented, as the Company reflects a net loss and the effect of
considering any common stock equivalents if outstanding would have been
anti-dilutive.
Segment
Information
The
Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, “
Disclosures about Segments of an
Enterprise and Related Information
”. During 2009 and 2008,
respectively, the Company only operated in one segment; therefore, segment
information has not been presented.
Stock-Based
Compensation
All
share-based payments to employees are recorded and expensed in the statement of
operations as applicable under SFAS No. 123(R) “
Share-Based
Payment
”. SFAS No. 123(R) requires the measurement and
recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to
employees and directors including grants of employee stock options based on
estimated fair values. The Company has used the Black-Scholes
option-pricing model to estimate grant date fair value for all option
grants.
Share-based compensation expense is
based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is
ultimately expected to vest during the year, less expected
forfeitures. SFAS No. 123R requires forfeitures to be estimated at
the time of grant and revised, if necessary in subsequent periods if actual
forfeitures differ from those estimates.
Non-Employee
Stock Based Compensation
Stock-based
compensation awards issued to non-employees for services are recorded at either
the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange
for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement
date guidelines enumerated in Emerging Issues Task Force Issue EITF No. 96-18,
“Accounting for Equity
Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services”
(“
EITF 96-18
”).
Recent Accounting
Pronouncements
Other
accounting standards have been issued or proposed by the FASB or other
standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date and
are not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements upon
adoption. No additional new pronouncements are applicable at February 28,
2009.

Reclassifications
Certain amounts in the fiscal year 2008
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal year 2009
presentation. The results of these reclassifications did not
materially affect financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
NOTE 3
–
GOING CONCERN
CONSIDERATIONS
As reflected in the accompanying
financial statements, the Company has a working capital deficit of $449,270, an
accumulated deficit of $5,277,799 and a stockholders’ deficit of $304,943 at
February 28, 2009.
For the six months ended February 28,
2009, the Company reflects net income and net cash provided by operating
activities; however, the Company does not yet have history of financial
stability or sources of cash that can be relied upon to sustain operations for
current and expected future growth.
The Company intends to fund operations
through increased sales, which may be insufficient to fund its capital
expenditures, working capital or other cash requirements for the year ending
August 31, 2009. The Company may seek additional funds to finance its immediate
and long-term operations through debt and/or equity financing. The successful
outcome of future financing activities cannot be determined at this time and
there is no assurance that if achieved, the Company will have sufficient funds
to execute its intended business plan or generate positive operating
results.
These factors, among others, raise
doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The
accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments related to
recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and
classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to
continue as a going concern.
In response to these problems,
management has taken the following actions:
·
|
the
Company is expanding its revenue base beyond direct sales to OEM and third
party sales;
|
·
|
the
Company is aggressively signing up new international distributors through
its International Distributor Program;
and
|
·
|
the
Company is seeking third party
financing.

NOTE
7 - LINE OF CREDIT
On March 25, 2008, the Company entered
into an agreement with an unrelated shareholder of the Company providing for a
line of credit to the Company of up to $300,000 with an interest rate of 9%. The
agreement provides that principal and interest on amounts borrowed against the
line of credit are due nine months from the date of the execution of the
agreement or earlier upon the occurrence of an event of default. The line of
credit is secured by a first priority security interest in the Company’s
inventory and accounts receivable. The agreement was subsequently amended to
extend the term until June 19, 2009. Additionally, the agreement, as amended,
provides the lender with an option to receive a warrant exercisable for up to
150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of
$0.075 per share.
On December 19, 2008, the Company
repaid $84,986 of principal and accrued interest due under the Company’s line of
credit, reducing the principal due under the line of credit to
$75,000.
As of February 28, 2009, the
outstanding balance on the line of credit was $76,313, which includes accrued
interest of $1,313.

Deferred income taxes reflect the net
tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
purposes. For financial reporting purposes, the Company has incurred substantial
losses which have caused management to doubt, based on the available objective
evidence whether it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets
would be fully realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided for a full
valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset.
The Company's deferred tax assets at
February 28, 2009 and February 29, 2008 is comprised of the following

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and
the documents incorporated herein contain "forward-looking statements" within
the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements,
or industry results, to be materially different from any future results,
performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. When used in this quarterly report, statements that are not
statements of current or historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking
statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words "plan", "intend", "may",
"will", "expect", "believe", "could", "anticipate", "estimate", or "continue" or
similar expressions or other variations or comparable terminology are intended
to identify such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the
date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any
forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future
events or otherwise. The following information should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this form
10-Q.
Unless the context indicates otherwise,
any reference to "SheerVision", the "Company", "we", "us", "our" or the
"Registrant" refers to SheerVision, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its
subsidiaries as of February 28, 2009.
Overview
SheerVision
designs and sells proprietary surgical loupes and light systems for the dental,
medical, and veterinary markets. Since our inception in 1999, we have rapidly
established a significant base of operations through our strategic marketing
programs, aggressive web presence, dedicated sales force, expansion into global
markets, and commitment to new product development. Worldwide sales are achieved
by sales into direct and indirect sales channels, and by strategic alliances
with dental and medical partners. Exclusive partnerships with Asian component
manufacturers and domestic assembly and testing facilities, allow us to provide
superior quality loupes and light systems at competitive prices.
In 2006,
we launched an aggressive marketing campaign with the objective of expanding
direct sales and promoting name brand recognition in the dental market. This
campaign established SheerVision as one of the premier magnification and
illumination providers in the country. In 2007, with our new position in the
marketplace, we identified third-party and OEM relationships as a necessary
component of an overall strategy to continued realization of our aggressive
sales and profitability goals. This revised strategy resulted in our
introduction of a number of new product designs to a wider audience in a rapid,
cost effective manner.
Our first
major strategic alliance was with a large, international Japanese dental
company. With momentum from sales generated from this effort, we
initiated a fundamental shift in our marketing strategy, focusing primarily on
indirect domestic and international sales. Through our aggressive marketing
strategies, we continue to identify viable international dealers while at the
same time we continue to be approached by a number of international
distributors. In addition to the expected effect this change has had on our
business, we believe that it has helped minimize our exposure to, and impact of,
the current economic challenges currently facing other companies and
industries.
We have
also looked to develop new distributor relationships through the launch of our
International Distributor Program, and have increased our reach by successfully
expanding our international distribution network in several countries. In fiscal
year 2008, we entered into a sales partnership agreement with a global detailer
of quality dental and medical products, and continue to be approached by a
number of international distributors. We believe our attraction is our breadth
of innovative products which can be resold at strong margins, while maintaining
a highly competitive end-user price point.
We intend
to continue to commit resources to direct sales and marketing in a targeted,
more complimentary manner. This includes participation in trade shows
emphasizing the dental, veterinary, and medical markets, and growing our
e-commerce powered web store, which has provided us with a cost-effective
platform to sell products directly to the end user.
We also
continue to develop new products that not only enhance the SheerVision product
portfolio, but also add greater value for our third party clients. In fiscal
year 2008, we introduced our upgraded FireFly Infinity Ultra™ LED head light
system, featuring our new Lithium Polymer battery pack. This revolutionary light
system, which we believe employs the most advanced battery technology available
for this application, has been rated a top performer by one of the most
prestigious non-profit, independent dental labs in the country. The development
and launch of our Signature Flip-Up Prism (high magnification) Loupe product
line expanded our penetration into horizontal and vertical market segments where
we have historically had only limited success. Additionally, in August 2008, we
introduced a new sports frame, to appeal to the younger, more fashionable
demographic of the dental market. Continued success of these products, and
future success of products currently in our pipeline, validates and ensures
continued support of R&D efforts.
With the
sophisticated design and engineering teams currently available to us, we have
the ability to not only modify and incorporate SheerVision products into other
company’s offerings, but to also extend our design, engineering, and
manufacturing capabilities to other company’s product
development. Toward that end, we are constantly evaluating new, small
medical devices.
Throughout
our recent history we have earned a reputation for leadership and value in
optical and lighting technology, supporting dentists, dental hygienists, and
doctors throughout the world. Our Ultra-Light Loupes have received the “Best of
the Best” award by Dental Lab Products’ Buyers Guide - 2006 Edition and named a
Dentistry Today top 100 product for 2006.
SheerVision
loupes and our FireFly light system have also received an endorsement by a
highly acclaimed and prestigious leading independent non-profit dental education
and product testing foundation. Our Firefly light system is the only LED light
system to receive the coveted “Highly Rated” designation.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Our
financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of our financial
statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related
disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values
of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. Below is a brief description of
our critical accounting policies:
Accounts
Receivable
Accounts
receivable are reported net of any write-off for uncollectible accounts.
Accounts are written off when significantly past due after exhaustive efforts at
collection.
Revenue
Recognition
Our
surgical loupes and lighting products need no installation and are ready for use
upon receipt by the customer. Products sold are delivered by shipments made
through common carrier and revenue is recognized upon shipment to the customer.
Discounts and sales incentives are recognized as a reduction of revenue at the
time of sale. We offer an unconditional satisfaction guarantee for a 30-day
period and permit product returns within 30 days of purchase, at which time
returns are accepted and refunds are made. Shipping charges and special orders
are nonrefundable. Allowances for returns are provided for based upon an
analysis of our historical patterns of product returns. To date, there have been
no significant product returns and such returns have been within our
estimates.
Inventory
Inventory
is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market and
consists of finished goods. Materials associated with the manufacturing of our
product lines are readily available within the US and international markets with
relatively short ordering cycles and therefore inventory on hand normally
represents a two to three month selling cycle. Inventory valuations depend on
quantities on hand, sales history and expected near term sales prospects. On a
regular basis, we evaluate inventory balances for excess quantities and
obsolescence by analyzing estimated demand, inventory on hand, sales levels and
other information. Based on these evaluations, inventory balances are reduced,
if necessary.
Income
Taxes
We
account for income taxes using the liability method as prescribed by Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
Accounting for Income Taxes
.
Deferred income taxes reflect temporary differences in reporting assets and
liabilities for income tax and financial accounting purposes. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the
amount expected to be realized.

SEC
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB)
SAB 110
expresses the views of the SEC staff regarding the use of a “simplified” method,
as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected
term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R),
Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107
that it will accept a company’s election to use the simplified method,
regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more
refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff
believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise
behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories
of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies.
Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use
the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff
understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may
not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will
continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified
method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified
method for “plain vanilla” share options and warrants, and will assess the
impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009.
The
Company is currently evaluating the aforementioned new accounting guidance but
does not believe that adoption of any of the pronouncements will have a material
impact on the Company’s financial position or results of
operations.

Second
quarter of fiscal year 2009 revenues overall were higher than expected due to
continued strong sales of our LED light systems. After adding a new manufacturer
capable of producing the quantity of LED lighting systems currently demanded by
our customers, we have been able to reduce the time it takes to fulfill orders
for the LED light systems. However, second quarter revenues were adversely
affected by the normal seasonal slump in December and early January, and total
revenue for the quarter was consequently lower than in the first
quarter.
Continued
cost containment efforts that dramatically lowered sales and marketing and
general and administrative expenses and a large payment from our insurer
representing partial reimbursement of legal fees allowed us to report second
quarter net income of $4,970.
We
continue to concentrate efforts on reducing operating costs and streamlining our
sales and marketing efforts. As we focus more heavily on distributor
relationships to generate sales, the exposure to escalating costs in sales and
travel related expenses in the domestic retail market is being mitigated.
Through large orders from a growing number of distributors, we anticipate that
these efforts will continue to improve the operating income in future
quarters.
We
reduced the retail sales force to a level that will support those existing
demographic areas producing the greatest volume of sales. The number of
tradeshows for 2008-2009 has been scaled down as well, and several of the
smaller localized shows, which in the past generated exposure to our product
lines but not necessarily immediate revenues, have been eliminated. This action
will also reduce excessive travel related expenses which have increased due to
cost pressures in the travel industry.
Management
believes that we have positioned ourselves for steady sales growth during our
fiscal year 2009 and through the cost cutting measures already established, this
should result in a stronger financial position during this fiscal
year.
Six
Months Ended February 28, 2009 Compared to the Six Months Ended February 29,
2008
Net
Sales
Net Sales
increased by $92,477 or 4.7%, from $1,951,245 for the six months ended February
29, 2008 to $2,043,722 for the six months ended February 28, 2009. This increase
was directly related to our strategic shift from selling directly to end users
to indirectly through international distributors, OEM and third party
relationships. In addition, we have experienced a significant increase in the
sales of our LED light systems that offset decreases in sales of our optical
devices through all of our channels of distribution.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit decreased by $12,063 or 1.0%, from $1,249,379 for the six months ended
February 29, 2008 to $1,237,316 for the six months ended February 28, 2009.
Gross margin was 61% of net sales for the six-month period ended February 28,
2009 compared to 64% of net sales for the six-month period ended February 29,
2008. The decrease in gross profit and margin was attributable to a physical
inventory adjustment for TTL parts to reflect actual parts owned by the Company.
This one-time adjustment reduced cost of goods sold by about $29,000 and
increased inventory by the same amount. New inventory controls in place should
prevent such one-time adjustments in the future.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses, which include shipping expenses, selling and marketing expenses,
general and administrative expenses and product development decreased by
$97,819, or 7.1%, to $1,287,550 for the six months ended February 28, 2009 as
compared to $1,385,369 for the six months ended February 29, 2008.
Shipping
expenses increased by $4,577 or 7.2% to $67,860 or 3.3% of net sales for the six
months ended February 28, 2009 as compared to $63,283 or 3.2% of net sales for
the six months ended February 29, 2008 attributable to escalating transportation
costs from increases in oil prices during the first quarter of fiscal
2009.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $526,856 for the six months ended February 28, 2009,
a decrease of $30,644 or 6.2%, compared with $496,212 for the six months ended
February 29, 2008. This decrease was mainly related to our changes that reduced
our direct sales force and increased use of OEM distributors and
dealers.
General
and administrative expenses were $675,342 for the six months ended February 28,
2009 a decrease of $119,869, or 15.1% compared to $795,211 for the six months
ended February 29, 2008. This decrease is attributable to the reduction in legal
expenses related to the defense and settlement of two competitor lawsuits
alleging product copyright, trade dress and patent infringement on specific
components of our surgical loupes.
Product
development costs decreased by $13,171 or 43%, from $30,663 for the six months
ended February 29, 2008 to $17,492 for the six months ended February 28, 2009.
Our elevated light development activity in the six months ended February 29,
2008, resulted in a decrease in costs as compared to the same period in 2009.
Product development costs are expected to increase in the future as we continue
to expend resources to enhance our existing product lines as well as develop new
products.
Income
(Loss) from Operations
Loss from
operations for the six months ended February 28, 2009 decreased by $85,756 or
63.1% to $50,234 as compared to $135,990 for the six months ended February 29,
2008. The reduction in loss from operations during what is traditionally a
seasonal low for us is related to the continuing refinement of our business
model to reflect the changing distribution channel strategy and the one-time
impact of the settlement of legal actions. These efforts have led to significant
cost savings related to shipping, marketing, sales and customer service labor,
and travel expenses. We anticipate improved operating profit performances in the
upcoming quarters related to these changes.
Other
Income (Expense)
Interest
expense for the six months ended February 28, 2009 was $5,382 as compared to
$2,402 in interest income for the quarter ended February 29, 2008. These changes
reflected the use of a line of credit established in fiscal year 2008 that was
partially tapped during the second quarter of fiscal year 2009. During the
second quarter of 2009 we received a one-time payment of $126,797 for an
insurance settlement arising out of a claim filed by us partially reimbursing
legal expenses incurred in the defense of a competitor lawsuit.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
income for the six months ended February 28, 2009 was $70,777 compared with a
net loss of $135,188 for the six months ended February 29, 2008. Earnings per
share were $0.00 for the six months ended February 28, 2009, compared with a
loss per share of $0.02 for the six months ended February 28, 2008.
Three
Months Ended February 28, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended February 29,
2008
Net
Sales
Net Sales
increased by $44,213 or 5.3%, from $827,147 for the three months ended February
29, 2008 to $871,360 for the three months ended February 28, 2009. This increase
was directly related to our strategic shift from selling directly to end users
to indirectly through international distributors, OEM and third party
relationships. In addition, we have experienced a significant increase in the
sales of our LED light systems that offset decreases in sales of our optical
devices through all of our channels of distribution.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit increased by $27,325, or 5.4%, from $504,106 for the three months ended
February 29, 2008 to $531,431 for the three months ended February 28, 2009.
Gross margin was 61% of net sales for the three-month period ended February 28,
2009 compared to 61% of net sales for the three-month period ended February 29,
2008. The increase in gross profit and margin was attributable to a physical
inventory adjustment for TTL parts to reflect actual parts owned by the Company.
This one-time adjustment reduced cost of goods sold by about $29,000 and
increased inventory by the same amount. New inventory controls in place should
prevent such one-time adjustments in the future.
Operating
Expenses
Operating
expenses, which include shipping expenses, selling and marketing expenses,
general and administrative expenses and product development decreased by $8,951,
or 1.4%, to $651,247 for the three months ended February 28, 2009 as compared to
$660,198 for the three months ended February 29, 2008.
Shipping
expenses decreased $2,328 or 7.2% to $30,017 or 3.4% of net sales for the three
months ended February 28, 2009 as compared to $32,345 or 3.9% of net sales for
the three months ended February 29, 2008 attributable to a reduction in
previously escalating transportation costs from increases in oil
prices.
Selling
and marketing expenses were $225,739 for the three months ended February 28,
2009, a decrease of $18,732 or 7.5%, compared with $244,111 for the three months
ended February 29, 2008. This decrease was mainly related to our changes that
reduced our direct sales force and increased use of OEM distributors and
dealers.
General
and administrative expenses were $385,611 for the three months ended February
28, 2009, an increase of $15,891, or 4.3% compared to $369,720 for the quarter
ended February 29, 2008. This increase is attributable to a change in the
structure of the compensation packages for the officers of the Company that
increases the base salary and reduces the bonus pool.
Product
development costs decreased by $4,142 or 29.5%, from $14,022 for the three
months ended February 29, 2008 to $9,880 for the three months ended February 28,
2009. Our elevated light development activity in the three months ended February
28, 2008 resulted in a decrease in costs as compared to the same period in 2009.
Product development costs are expected to increase in the future as we continue
to expend resources to enhance our existing product lines as well as develop new
products.
Income
(Loss) from Operations
Loss from
operations for the quarter ended February 28, 2009 decreased by $36,276 or 23.2%
to $119,816 as compared to $156,092 for the quarter ended February 29, 2008. The
reduction in loss from operations during what is traditionally a seasonal low
for us is related to the continuing refinement of our business model to reflect
the changing distribution channel strategy and the one-time impact of the
settlement of legal actions. These efforts have led to significant cost savings
related to shipping, marketing, sales and customer service labor, and travel
expenses. We anticipate dramatically improved operating profit performances in
the upcoming quarters related to these changes.
Other
Income (Expense)
Interest
expense for the three months ended February 28, 2009 was $2,011 as compared to
$1,116 in interest income for the quarter ended February 29, 2008. These changes
reflected the use of a line of credit established in fiscal year 2008 that was
partially tapped during the second quarter of fiscal year
2008. During the second quarter of 2009 we received a one-time
payment of $126,797 for an insurance settlement arising out of a claim filed by
us, partially reimbursing legal expenses incurred in the defense of a competitor
lawsuit.
Net
Income (Loss)
Net
income for the three months ended February 28, 2009 was $4,970 compared with a
net loss of $154,976 for the quarter ended February 29, 2008. Earnings per share
were $0.00 for the three months ended February 28, 2009, compared with a loss
per share of $0.02 for the three months ended February 29, 2008.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
We assess
our liquidity by our ability to generate cash to fund operations. Significant
factors in the management of liquidity are: funds generated by operations;
levels of accounts receivable; inventories, accounts payable and capital
expenditures; adequate lines of credit; and financial flexibility to attract
long-term capital on satisfactory terms. As of February 28, 2009, we had cash of
$70,158.
To date,
we have financed operations principally through lines of credit and equity
capital. Our ability to generate positive operational cash flow is dependent
upon increasing revenues through the sales of existing product lines. Our
historical uses of cash have primarily been for operations, capital
expenditures, and payments of principal and interest on outstanding debt
obligations.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming we
will continue as a going concern, which contemplates, among other things, the
realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of
business. As of February 28, 2009, we had an accumulated deficit of $5,277,799
and negative working capital of $449,270. These factors, among
others, raise doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. In
response to these problems, the Company is expanding its revenue base beyond
direct sales to OEM and third party sales, aggressively signing up new
international distributors through our International Distributor Program and
seeking third party financing.
Net cash
provided by operating activities was $49,277 and net cash used in operating
activities was $48,448 for the six months ended February 28, 2009 and February
29, 2008, respectively. The improvement in operating cash flows was a
direct result of our strategic shift from selling directly to end users to
indirectly through international distributors, OEM and third party
relationships. Utilization of our partner resources to market and sell our
products allowed for the reduction in internal sales and marketing
expenditures.
Net cash
used in investing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2009 and
February 29, 2008 was $16,006 and $10,461, respectively. These expenditures were
mainly related to the purchase of capital equipment.
Net cash
used in financing activities during the six months ended February 28, 2009 and
February 29, 2008 was $75,000 and $0, respectively. As of February 28, 2009, the
outstanding balance due under our line of credit was $76,313. We also owe as of
February 28, 2009 accrued dividends on Series A Preferred Stock in the amount of
$684,979 which is not anticipated to be paid within the next 12
months.
Contractual
Obligations
We lease
space under a non-cancellable lease expiring December 1, 2010. The lease
obligation based on minimum monthly rents is expected to be as

ITEM
3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are
exposed to certain financial market risks, including changes in interest rates.
All of our revenue, expenses and capital spending are transacted in U.S.
dollars. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates
primarily to our cash and cash equivalent balances. The majority of our
investments are in short-term instruments and subject to fluctuations in US
interest rates. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we believe that
there is no material risk exposure.
