PART I
Item 1. Business.
Overview
MISONIX, INC. (Misonix or the Company) is a New York corporation which, through its
predecessors, was first organized in 1959. The Company designs, manufactures, markets and develops
minimally invasive ultrasonic medical device products. The Company also develops and markets
ductless fume enclosures for filtration of gaseous contaminates in the laboratory and forensic
markets.
The Companys operations outside the United States consist of a 100% ownership in Labcaire Systems,
Ltd. (Labcaire), which is based in North Somerset, England. This business consists of designing,
manufacturing, servicing and marketing the ISIS and Guardian endoscope disinfection systems and
air-handling systems for the protection of personnel, products and the environment from airborne
hazards. The Company also has a 60% ownership in UKHIFU Limited (UKHIFU), located in Bristol,
England, which is the sales/marketing and service arm of the Company for the ablation of prostate
cancer in the United Kingdom (UK). The Company has a 100% ownership in Misonix, Ltd. which is
located in North Somerset, England. This business is the sales, marketing, distribution and
servicing arm for the Companys medical device products in Europe.
In fiscal 2009, approximately 50% of the Companys net sales were to foreign markets. Labcaire,
which manufactures and sells the Companys fume enclosure line as well as its own range of
laboratory and medical environmental control products, represents approximately 70% of the
Companys net sales to foreign markets. Labcaire also distributes the Companys ultrasonic
equipment for use in scientific and industrial markets, predominately in the UK. Sales by the
Company in other major industrial countries are made primarily through distributors. There were no
additional risks for products sold by Labcaire as compared to other products marketed and sold by
Misonix in the United States. Labcaire experiences minimal currency exposure since the major
portion of its revenues are from the UK. Labcaire revenues outside the UK are predominately
remitted in British Pounds.
On August 5, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited
(PuriCore) for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million at
closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million, payable in equal installments
of $250,000 on the next four anniversaries of the closing. The Company will also receive a
commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on December
31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through Automated Endoscope Reprocessing (AER) and Drying Cabinet
products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly
associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate
commission payable to the Company is subject to a maximum payment of $1,000,000.
On April 7, 2009, the Company sold the assets of its Ultrasonic Laboratory Products business to iSonix
LLC (iSonix), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonics and Materials, Inc., for a cash payment of $3.5
million. The gain on the sale plus the results of operations from the Ultrasonic Laboratory
Products business are shown net of tax from discontinued operations.
The Companys 95% owned subsidiary, Acoustic Marketing Research, Inc. doing business as Sonora
Medical Systems (Sonora), located in Longmont, Colorado, is an ISO 9001 certified depot level
repair facility for MRI and diagnostic ultrasound subsystems, as well as a factory level repair
center for diagnostic ultrasound transducers. In addition, Sonora manufactures test equipment to
appropriately diagnose failures with ultrasound systems and probes and to establish baseline
performance and maintain quality assurance programs for ultrasound systems.
The Companys 100% owned subsidiary, Hearing Innovations, Inc. (Hearing Innovations), is a
development company with patented HiSonic ultrasonic technology for the treatment of profound
deafness and tinnitus.
Misonix represented approximately 13% of the net sales to foreign markets in fiscal 2009. These
sales had no additional risks as most sales are secured by letters of credit and are remitted to
Misonix in U.S. currency.
Sonora represented approximately 10% of the net sales to foreign markets in fiscal 2009. These
sales had additional risks as most sales are not secured by letters of credit or do not involve a
long term customer where credit risk is minimal. These sales are remitted to Sonora in U.S.
currency.
Misonix, Ltd. sales represented approximately 5% of net sales to foreign markets in fiscal 2009 and
were invoiced in Euros. These sales had the normal credit risks.
UKHIFU operates in the UK and invoices in British pounds, its sales represented 2% of net sales to
foreign markets in fiscal 2009.
Medical Devices
In October 1996, the Company entered into a twenty-year license agreement (the USS License) with
United States Surgical, a unit of Covidien Ltd. (USS). The USS License covers the further
development of the Companys medical technology relating to ultrasonic cutting, which uses high
frequency sound waves to coagulate and divide tissue for both open and laproscopic surgery. The USS
License gives USS exclusive worldwide marketing and sales rights for this technology and device.
Total sales of this device were approximately $3,467,000 and $3,629,000 for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total royalties from sales of this device were approximately
$613,000 and $691,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
In June 2002, the Company entered into a ten-year worldwide, royalty-free, distribution agreement
with Mentor Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, Inc., for the sale,
marketing and distribution of the Lysonix soft tissue aspirator used for cosmetic surgery. Total
sales of this device were approximately $818,000 and $1,596,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
Fibra Sonics, Inc.
On February 8, 2001, the Company acquired certain assets and liabilities of Fibra Sonics, Inc.
(Fibra Sonics), a Chicago-based, privately held producer and marketer of ultrasonic medical
devices for approximately $1,900,000. This acquisition gave the Company access to three important
new medical markets, namely, neurology with its Neuro Aspirator product, urology with the Companys
lithotripsy product and ophthalmology. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company relocated the
assets of Fibra Sonics to the Companys Farmingdale facility.
UKHIFU Limited
On March 27, 2006, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Misonix, Ltd., acquired a 60%
equity position in UKHIFU from Imaging Equipment which owns the remaining 40%. UKHIFU is in the
business of providing Sonablate 500® equipment to doctors, on a fee for service basis, to use for
the ablation of cancerous tissue in the prostate and is the sales/marketing and service arm of the
Company in the UK for Sonablate 500 equipment.
In addition to the original investment, the Company made payments of approximately $39,000 and
$50,000 to Imaging Equipment during the years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
The additional payments were recorded as goodwill and the
Companys equity position remains at 60%.
Focus Surgery, Inc.
On May 3, 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with Focus Surgery, Inc. (Focus) to obtain
a 20% equity position in Focus for $3,050,000 and representation on its Board of Directors.
Additionally, the Company has options and warrants to purchase an additional 5% of the equity of
Focus. Focus is located in Indianapolis, Indiana. The agreement provides for a series of
development and manufacturing agreements whereby the Company would upgrade existing Focus products,
currently the Sonablate 500, and create new products based on high intensity focused ultrasound
(HIFU) technology for the non-invasive treatment of tissue for certain medical applications. The
Company has the right to utilize HIFU technology for the treatment of both benign and cancerous
tumors of the breast, liver and kidney and the right of first refusal to purchase 51% of the equity
of Focus. In February 2001, the Company exercised its right to start research and development for
the treatment of kidney and liver tumors utilizing HIFU technology. During fiscal 2005, Focus
entered into an exclusive agreement with the Company to distribute the Sonablate 500 in the
European market. On July 1, 2008, the Company closed the transaction with USHIFU, LLC (USHIFU)
whereby the Company sold its equity portion in Focus to USHIFU and was paid one half the amount of the outstanding debt plus interest owed to Misonix by Focus with the remaining amount to be paid in
18 months. On July 1, 2008, the Company received $679,366.34 (which represents one half of the
outstanding debt plus interest) and $837,500 for the Companys 2,500 shares of Series M Preferred
Stock of Focus. The balance of such loans is now represented by a promissory note payable by
USHIFU and Focus and is secured by certain of USHIFUs and Focus assets. The Company recognized
approximately $1.5 million of non-recurring pretax income in the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Hearing Innovations, Inc.
On July 14, 2004, Hearing Innovations sent all shareholders and creditors a plan for reorganization
and disclosure statement. The Company committed to fund Hearing Innovations up to $150,000 for the
reorganization plan. Hearing Innovations filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy
Code in September 2004. The Plan of Reorganization of Hearing Innovations was confirmed by the
court on January 13, 2005. Based upon the final decree, and the approval by the court of the
Bankruptcy Plan, the Company owns 100% of the equity in Hearing Innovations.

Sonora Medical Systems
On November 16, 1999, the Company acquired a 51% interest in Sonora for approximately $1,400,000.
Sonora authorized and issued new common stock for the 51% interest. Sonora utilized the proceeds of
such sale to increase inventory and expand marketing, sales, and research
and development efforts. An additional 4.7% was acquired from the principals of Sonora on February
25, 2000, for $208,000, bringing the acquired interest to 55.7%. The principals of Sonora sold an
additional 34.3% to Misonix on June 1, 2000 for approximately $1,407,000, bringing the acquired
interest to 90%. The acquisition of Sonora was accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting. Accordingly, results of operations for Sonora are included in the consolidated
statement of operations from the date of acquisition and acquired assets and liabilities have been
recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of the
acquisition ($2,957,000 plus acquisition costs of $101,000, which includes a broker fee of $72,000)
over the fair value of net assets acquired was $1,622,845 and is being treated as goodwill. During
fiscal 2007, William H. Phillips, a principal of Sonora, exercised his right to require Misonix to
purchase his 5% equity portion in Sonora based upon a formula of two times sales. At June 30,
2007, the Company acquired 1.25% for approximately $296,000 of which $242,000 was recorded as
goodwill, a reduction in minority interest of $38,000 and $16,000 was included in interest expense.
During the year ended June 30, 2008, the Company acquired the remaining 3.75% for approximately
$918,000 of which $727,000 was recorded as goodwill, a reduction of minority interest of $112,000
and $79,000 was included in interest expense bringing the total acquired interest to 95%.
On July 27, 2000, Sonora acquired 100% of the assets of CraMar Technologies, Inc. (CraMar), an
ultrasound equipment servicer for approximately $311,000. The assets of the Colorado-based,
privately-held operations of CraMar were relocated to Sonoras facility in Longmont, Colorado. The
acquisition was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, acquired assets
have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the
cost of the acquisition ($272,908 plus acquisition costs of $37,898, which includes a broker fee of
$25,000) over the fair value of net assets acquired was $257,899 and is being treated as goodwill.
On October 12, 2000, Sonora acquired the assets of Sonic Technologies Laboratory Services (Sonic
Technologies), an ultrasound acoustic measurement and testing laboratory, for approximately
$320,000. The assets of the Hatboro, Pennsylvania-based operations of privately-held Sonic
Technologies were relocated to Sonoras facility in Longmont, Colorado. The acquisition was
accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, acquired assets and liabilities
have been recorded at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the
cost of the acquisition ($270,000 plus acquisition costs of $51,219, which includes a broker fee of
$25,000) over the fair value of net assets acquired was $301,219 and is being treated as goodwill.
Laboratory and Scientific Products
The Companys other revenue producing activities consist of the manufacture and sale of Aura
ductless fume hood products and ISIS, Guardian and Jet AER autoscope reprocessing, disinfecting and
rinsing equipment.
The Aura ductless fume hood products offer 40 years of experience in providing safe work
environments to medical, pharmaceutical, biotech, semiconductor, law enforcement, federal and local
government laboratories. We manufacture a complete line of ductless fume enclosures to control and
eliminate hazardous vapors, noxious odors and particulates in the laboratory. All fume enclosure
products utilize either activated carbon or HEPA filters to capture contaminants and are a cost
effective alternative to standard laboratory fume hoods that require expensive ductwork to vent
contaminants to the outside. Misonix also offers laminar airflow stations and PCR enclosures.
Misonix Ductless Fume Hoods meet or exceed applicable OSHA, ANSI, NFPA, SEFA and ASHRAE standards
for ductless fume hoods. School Demonstration Ductless Fume Hoods have proven to be a valuable
addition to hundreds of high school science laboratories. Multiple application filters allow for
the use of a variety of chemicals and a clear back panel enables students to view demonstrations
from all sides.
The technology used in the Aura ductless fume enclosures has also been adapted for specific uses in
crime laboratories. The Forensic Evidence Cabinet protects wet evidence from contamination while it
is drying and simultaneously protects law enforcement personnel from evidence that can be noxious
and hazardous. The Cyanoacrylate (liquid glue) Fuming Chamber is used by fingerprinting experts to
develop fingerprints on non-porous surfaces while providing protection from hazardous cyanoacrylate
fumes.
Labcaire Systems, Ltd.
In June 1992, the Company initially acquired an 81.4% interest in Labcaire for $545,169. The total
acquisition cost exceeded the fair value of the net assets acquired by $241,299, which is being
treated as goodwill. The balance of the capital stock of Labcaire was owned by current and former
employees of Labcaire who, under a purchase agreement (the Labcaire Agreement), sold one-seventh
of their total holdings of Labcaire shares to the Company in each of seven consecutive years,
commencing with the fiscal year ended June 30, 1996. As of June 30, 2003 the Company owned 100% of
Labcaire. Under the Labcaire Agreement, the Company purchased such shares at a price equal to
one-seventh of each executives prorata share of 8.5 times Labcaires earnings before interest,
taxes, and management charges for the preceding fiscal year,
which amount is being treated as goodwill. Total goodwill associated with Labcaire is $1,214,808 of
which $1,063,292 remains at June 30, 2009.
3
Labcaire has developed, manufactures and sells an automatic endoscope disinfection system
(Autoscope), which is used predominantly in hospitals. The Autoscope disinfects and rinses
several endoscopes while abating the noxious disinfectant fumes produced by the cleaning process.
In fiscal 2007, Labcaire introduced the ISIS Autoscope version to incorporate a number of
enhancements to comply with the UK HTM 2030 guidelines. HTM 2030 guidelines, among other things,
describe the handling of endoscopes to minimize the transfer of bio matter from one patient to the
next. Labcaires business also consists of designing, manufacturing, servicing and marketing air
handling systems for the protection of personnel, products and the environment from airborne
hazards. These systems are similar to the Aura fume enclosures in that they extract noxious fumes
through a series of filters to introduce clean air back into the environment, but have expanded
their applications. There are no additional risks for products sold by Labcaire as compared to
other products marketed and sold by the Company in the United States. Labcaire experiences minimal
currency exposures since a major portion of its revenues are from the UK. Revenues outside the UK
are remitted in British Pounds. Labcaire is also the UK distributor of the Companys ultrasonic
laboratory and scientific products. Labcaire manufactures class 100 biohazard safety enclosures,
used in laboratories to provide sterile environments and to protect lab technicians from airborne
contaminants, and class 100 laminar flow enclosures. Labcaire also manufactures the Companys
ductless fume enclosures for the European market and sells the enclosures under its trade name.
On August 5, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire subsidiary to PuriCore for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million at
closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million, payable in equal installments
of $250,000 on the next four anniversaries of the closing. The Company will also receive a
commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on December
31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through AER and Drying Cabinet
products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly
associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate
commission payable to the Company is subject to a maximum payment of $1,000,000.
Market and Customers
Medical Devices
The Company relies on its licensee, USS, a significant customer, for marketing its ultrasonic Auto
Sonix surgical device. The Company relies on distributors such as Mentor Corporation (Mentor),
Aesculap, Inc. and independent distributors for the marketing of its other medical products. The
Company sells its SonicOne® Wound Debridement System and the Ultrasonic BoneScalpel for certain
applications through direct sales persons throughout the United States and through distributors

doctors, hospitals and distributors. The Company sells the Sona Star Ultrasonic Surgical Aspiration
System directly to end users and distributors internationally.
In June 2002, the Company entered into a ten-year worldwide, royalty-free, distribution agreement
with Mentor for the sale, marketing and distribution of the Lysonix 2000/3000 soft tissue aspirator
used for cosmetic surgery. In June 2007, the Company terminated the supply and distribution
agreement due to Mentors breach of the agreement. In September 2007, the Company completed a new
agreement with Mentor for domestic sales of its ultrasound assisted liposuction product, the
Lysonix 3000. Mentor agreed to minimum purchase order provisions for the Lysonix 3000 for a one
year term commencing September 30, 2007, and successive annual renewals upon mutual agreement by
the companies. The agreement was renewed September 30, 2008.
Laboratory and Scientific Products
The Company relies on direct salespersons, distributors, manufacturing representatives and catalog
listings for the marketing of its laboratory and scientific products.
The market for the Companys ductless fume enclosures includes laboratory or scientific

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the exhibits
hereto, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. Our
business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely
affected by any of these risks. This section contains forward-looking statements. You should refer
to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements set forth
immediately prior to the beginning of Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks
not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our
business, financial condition or results of operations.

Risks Related to Our Business
We are subject to extensive medical device regulation which may impede or hinder the approval
process for our products and, in some cases, may not ultimately result in approval or may result in
the recall or seizure of previously approved products.
Our products, development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and
rigorous regulation by the FDA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the FDC
Act), by comparable agencies in foreign countries, and by other regulatory agencies and governing
bodies. Under the FDC Act, medical devices must receive FDA clearance or approval before they can
be commercially marketed in the U.S. In addition, most major markets for medical devices outside
the U.S. require clearance, approval or compliance with certain standards before a product can be
commercially marketed. The process of obtaining marketing approval or clearance from the FDA for
new products, or with respect to enhancements or modifications to existing products, could:
|
|
|
take a significant period of time; |
|
|
|
require the expenditure of substantial resources; |
|
|
|
involve rigorous pre-clinical and clinical testing; |
|
|
|
require changes to the products; and |
|
|
|
result in limitations on the indicated uses of the products. |
Even after products have received marketing approval or clearance, product approvals and clearances
by the FDA can be withdrawn due to failure to comply with regulatory standards or the occurrence of
unforeseen problems following initial approval. There can be no assurance that we will receive the
required clearances from the FDA for new products or modifications to existing products on a timely
basis or that any FDA approval will not be subsequently withdrawn. Later discovery of previously
unknown problems with a product or manufacturer could result in fines, delays or suspensions of
regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions and/or criminal
prosecution. The failure to receive product approval clearance on a timely basis, suspensions of
regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products or the withdrawal of product approval by the
FDA could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
We may not meet regulatory quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and quality processes,
which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
As a device manufacturer, we are required to register with the FDA and are subject to periodic
inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDAs Quality System Regulation requirements, which
require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations, including testing,
quality control and documentation procedures. In addition, the Federal Medical Device Reporting
regulations require us to provide information to the FDA whenever there is evidence that reasonably
suggests that a device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, if a
malfunction were to occur, could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. Compliance with
applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is rigorously monitored
through periodic inspections by the FDA. In the European Community, we are required to maintain
certain ISO certifications in order to sell our products and must undergo periodic inspections by
notified bodies to obtain and maintain these certifications.
Future intellectual property litigation could be costly and disruptive to us.
We operate in an industry that is susceptible to significant intellectual property litigation and,
in recent years, it has been common for companies in the medical device field to aggressively
challenge the patent rights of other companies in order to prevent the marketing of new devices.
Intellectual property litigation is expensive, complex and lengthy and its outcome is difficult to
predict. Future patent litigation may result in significant royalty or other payments or
injunctions that can prevent the sale of products and may significantly divert the attention of our
technical and management personnel. In the event that our right to market any of our products is
successfully challenged, and if we fail to
obtain a required license or are unable to design around a patent, our business, financial
condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
10
We may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights which could have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Patents and other proprietary rights are and will be essential to our business, and our ability to
compete effectively with other companies will be dependent upon the proprietary nature of our
technologies. We rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations, strategic
alliances and licensing opportunities to develop, maintain and strengthen our competitive position.
We pursue a policy of generally obtaining patent protection in both the U.S. and abroad for
patentable subject matter in our proprietary devices and also attempt to review third-party patents
and patent applications to the extent publicly available to develop an effective patent strategy,
avoid infringement of third-party patents, identify licensing opportunities and monitor the patent
claims of others. We currently own numerous U.S. and foreign patents. We also are party to various
license agreements pursuant to which patent rights have been obtained or granted in consideration
for cash or royalty payments. No assurance can be made that any pending or future patent
applications will result in issued patents, that any current or future patents issued to, or
licensed by, us will not be challenged or circumvented by our competitors, or that our patents will
not be found invalid.
In addition, we may have to take legal action in the future to protect our patents, trade secrets
or know-how or to assert them against claimed infringement by others. Any legal action of that type
could be costly and time consuming to us and no assurances can be made that any lawsuit will be
successful.
The invalidation of key patents or proprietary rights that we own, or an unsuccessful outcome in
lawsuits to protect our intellectual property, could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
Future product liability claims and other litigation, including private securities litigation and
shareholder derivative suits, may adversely affect our business, reputation and ability to attract
and retain customers.
The design, manufacture and marketing of medical device products of the types that we produce
entail an inherent risk of product liability claims. A number of factors could result in an unsafe
condition or injury to, or death of, a patient with respect to these or other products that we
manufacture or sell, including component failures, manufacturing flaws, design defects or
inadequate disclosure of product-related risks or product-related information. These factors could
result in product liability claims, a recall of one or more of our products or a safety alert
relating to one or more of our products. Product liability claims may be brought by individuals or
by groups seeking to represent a class.
We may not be successful in our strategic initiatives to become primarily a medical device company.
Our strategic initiatives intend to further expand our ability to offer customers effective,
quality medical devices that satisfy their needs, as well as focus the Company on our medical
device platform. If we are unsuccessful in our strategic initiatives, we may be unable to continue
to grow our business significantly or may record asset impairment charges in the future.
Our future growth is dependent upon the development of new products, which requires significant
research and development, clinical trials and regulatory approvals, all of which are very expensive
and time-consuming and may not result in a commercially viable product.
In order to develop new products and improve current product offerings, we focus our research and
development programs largely on the development of next-generation and novel technology offerings
across multiple programs and opportunities. We are performing clinicals for kidney cancer treatment
in Europe.
Further, we anticipate continuing our increased focus and spending on areas such as HIFU
technologies for the kidney, liver and breast. However, given their early stage of development,
there can be no assurance that these and other technologies will achieve technological feasibility,
obtain regulatory approval or gain market acceptance. A delay in the development or approval of
these technologies or our decision to reduce funding of these projects may adversely impact the
contribution of these technologies to our future growth.
As a part of the regulatory process of obtaining marketing clearance from the FDA for new products,
we conduct and participate in numerous clinical trials with a variety of study designs, patient
populations and trial endpoints. Unfavorable or inconsistent clinical data from existing or future
clinical trials conducted by us, by our competitors or by third parties, or the markets perception
of this clinical data, may adversely impact our ability to obtain product approvals from the FDA,
our position in, and share of, the markets in which we participate and our business, financial
condition, results of operations or future prospects.
11
New products may not be accepted in the market.
We are now, and will continue to be, developing new products and introducing them into the market.
There can be no assurance that any new product will be accepted by the market. New products are
sometimes introduced into the market in a prototype format and may need later revisions or design
changes before they operate in a manner to be accepted in the market. As a result of the
introduction of new products, there is some risk that revenue expectations may not be met and in
some cases the product may not achieve market acceptance.
We face intense competition and may not be able to keep pace with the rapid technological changes
in the medical devices industry, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial
condition or results of operations.
The medical device product market is highly competitive. We encounter significant competition
across our product lines and in each market in which our products are sold from various medical
device companies, some of which have greater financial and marketing resources than we do.
Additionally, the medical device product market is characterized by extensive research and
development and rapid technological change. Developments by other companies of new or improved
products, processes or technologies, in particular in the cancer treatment market, may make our
products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive and may negatively impact our revenues.
We are required to devote continued efforts and financial resources to develop or acquire
scientifically advanced technologies and products, apply our technologies cost-effectively across
product lines and markets, attract and retain skilled development personnel, obtain patent and
other protection for our technologies and products, obtain required regulatory and reimbursement
approvals and successfully manufacture and market our products. Failure to develop new products or
enhance existing products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition
or results of operations.
Because we derive a significant amount of our revenues from international operations and a
significant percentage of our growth is expected to come from international operations, changes in
international economic or regulatory conditions could have a material impact on our business,
financial condition or results of operations.
Sales outside the U.S. accounted for approximately 50% of our net sales in fiscal 2009.
Additionally, a significant percentage of our future growth is expected to come from international
operations. As a result, profitability from our international operations may be limited by risks
and uncertainties related to economic conditions in these regions, foreign currency fluctuations,
regulatory and reimbursement approvals, competitive offerings, infrastructure development, rights
to intellectual property and our ability to implement our overall business strategy. Further,
international markets are also being affected by economic pressure to contain reimbursement levels
and healthcare costs. The trend in countries around the world, including Japan, toward more
stringent regulatory requirements for product clearance, changing reimbursement models and more
rigorous inspection and enforcement activities has generally caused or may cause medical device
manufacturers to experience more uncertainty, delay, risk and expense.
Consolidation in the healthcare industry could lead to demands for price concessions or the
exclusion of some suppliers from certain of our significant market segments, which could have an
adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
The cost of healthcare has risen significantly over the past decade and numerous initiatives and
reforms initiated by legislators, regulators and third-party payers to curb these costs have
resulted in a consolidation trend in the healthcare industry, including hospitals. This in turn has
resulted in greater pricing pressures and the exclusion of certain suppliers from important market
segments as group purchasing organizations, independent delivery networks and large single accounts
continue to consolidate purchasing decisions for some of our hospital customers. We expect that
market demand, government regulation, third-party reimbursement policies and societal pressures
will continue to change the worldwide healthcare industry, resulting in further business
consolidations and alliances among our customers and competitors, which may reduce competition,
exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and may adversely impact our
business, financial condition or results of operations.
We may experience disruption in supply due to our dependence on our suppliers to continue to ship
product requirements and our inability to obtain suppliers of certain components for our products.
Our suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, including
failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, failure to comply with applicable regulations,
equipment malfunctions, labor shortages or environmental factors. In addition, we purchase both
raw materials used in our products and finished goods from various suppliers and may have to rely on a
single source supplier for certain components of our products where there are no alternatives are
available. Although we anticipate that we have adequate sources of supply and/or inventory of
these components to handle our production needs for the foreseeable future, if we are unable to
secure on a timely basis sufficient quantities of the materials we depend on to manufacture our
products, if we encounter delays or contractual or other difficulties in
our relationships with these suppliers, or if we cannot find suppliers at an acceptable cost, then
the manufacture of our products may be disrupted, which could increase our costs and have a
material adverse effect on our business.
12
If we fail to manage any expansion or acquisition, our business could be impaired.
We may in the future acquire one or more technologies, products or companies that complement our
business. We may not be able to effectively integrate these into our business and any such
acquisition could bring additional risks, exposures and challenges to our company. In addition,
acquisitions may dilute our earnings per share, disrupt our ongoing business, distract our
management and employees, increase our expenses, subject us to liabilities and increase our risk of
litigation, all of which could harm our business. If we use cash to acquire technologies,
products, or companies, it may divert resources otherwise available for other purposes. If we use
our common stock to acquire technologies, products, or companies, our shareholders may experience
substantial dilution. If we fail to manage any expansions or acquisition, our business could be
impaired.
Our agreements and contracts entered into with partners and other third parties may not be
successful.
We signed in the past and may pursue in the future contracts and agreements with third parties that
would assist our marketing, manufacturing, selling, and distribution efforts. We cannot assure you
that any agreements or arrangements entered into will be successful.
The current disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing
on favorable terms (or at all) and have other adverse effects on us.
The United States credit markets have recently experienced historic dislocations and liquidity
disruptions which have caused financing to be unavailable in many cases and even if available
caused spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have
materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers able to
find financing less attractive, and in many cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain
types of debt financing. Continued uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our
ability to access debt financing on favorable terms or at all. The failure to renew our existing
revolving credit facilities when such facilities expire in December 2009 could have a material
adverse affect on our financial condition and results of operations. In addition, Federal
legislation to deal with the current disruptions in the financial markets could have an adverse
affect on our financial condition and results of operations.
The fluctuation of our quarterly results may adversely affect the trading price of our common
stock.
Our revenues and results of operations have in the past and will likely vary in the future from
quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control and any of
which may cause our stock price to fluctuate. You should not rely on quarter-to-quarter
comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance. It is likely
that in some future quarters, our results of operations may be below the expectations of public
market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock may fall.
We may not be able to attract and retain additional key management, sales and marketing and
technical personnel, or we may lose existing key management, sales and marketing or technical
personnel, which may delay our development and marketing efforts.
We depend on a number of key management, sales and marketing and technical personnel. The loss of
the services of one or more key employees could delay the achievement of our development and
marketing objectives. Our success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain additional
highly qualified management, sales and marketing and technical personnel to meet our growth goals.
We face intense competition for qualified personnel, many of whom are often subject to competing
employment offers, and we do not know whether we will be able to attract and retain such personnel.
Future changes in financial accounting standards or practices or existing taxation rules or
practices may cause adverse or unexpected revenue fluctuations and affect our reported results of
operations.
A change in accounting standards or practices or a change in existing taxation rules or practices
can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of
transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and taxation
rules and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements and taxation practice have occurred
and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may
adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

Item 2. Properties.
The Company occupies approximately 45,500 square feet at 1938 New Highway, Farmingdale, New York
under a lease which expires on June 30, 2010. The rental amount, which is approximately $40,000 per
month, includes a pro rata share of real estate taxes, water and sewer charges, and other
charges which are assessed on the leased premises or the land upon which the leased premises are
situated. Labcaire occupies a 20,000 square foot facility in North Somerset, England, under a lease
expiring in June 2017. The rental amount is approximately $20,000 per month. Labcaire owned the
building up until June 2007 when it was sold for $3,600,000. Sonora occupies approximately 29,000
square feet in Longmont, Colorado under a lease expiring in November 2011. The rental amount is
approximately $21,000 per month and includes a pro rata share of real estate taxes, water and sewer
charges, and other charges which are assessed on the leased premises or the land upon which the
leased premises are situated. The Company believes that the leased facilities are adequate for its
present needs.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
A
jury in the District Court of Boulder County, Colorado has returned a
verdict against Sonora and in favor of Technics LLC in the amount of
$419,000 which was recorded by the Company during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2008, the judgment was decreased to
$324,000 and the $95,000 reduction was included in other income. The
case involved royalties claimed on recoating of transesophogeal
probes, which is a process performed by Sonora. Approximately 80% of
the judgment was based on the jurys estimate of royalties for
potential sales of the product in the future. Sonora moved for
judgment notwithstanding the verdict based on, among other things,
the award of damages for future royalties. In December, 2008
the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Colorado
Court of Appeals in favor of Technics LLC. In January, 2009, the
case was returned to the County of Boulder for entry of judgment in
favor of Technics LLC in the amount of $324,000 together with costs
along with prejudgment and post judgment interest. In June, 2009
the judgment was increased to $602,000 and the $278,000 increase is
included in litigation expense and was paid.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of the Companys security holders during the last quarter of

Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operation.
Results of Operation:
The following discussion and analysis provides information which the Companys management believes
is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Companys results of operations and financial
condition. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
All of the Companys sales to date have been derived from the sale of medical device products,
which include manufacture and distribution of ultrasonic medical device products, and laboratory
and scientific products, which include ultrasonic equipment for scientific and laboratory purposes,
and ductless fume enclosures for filtration of gaseous emissions in laboratories and hospitals.
On April 7, 2009, the Company sold the assets of its
Ultrasonic Laboratory Products business to Isonix for a cash payment of $3.5 million. The gain on the sale plus the results of
operations from the Ultrasonic Laboratory Products business are shown net of tax from discontinued operations.
Fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:
Net sales: Net sales decreased $1,353,984 to $39,790,155 in fiscal 2009 from $41,144,139
in fiscal 2008. This difference in net sales is principally due to a decrease in medical device
products sales of $1,515,371 to $22,758,079 in fiscal 2009 from $24,273,450 in fiscal 2008. This
difference in net sales is also due to an increase in sales of laboratory and scientific products
of $161,387 to $17,032,076 in fiscal 2009 from $16,870,689 in fiscal 2008. The decrease in sales of
medical device products is principally due to a decrease in sales of diagnostic medical device
products of $958,475 and a decrease in therapeutic products of $556,896. The decrease in sales of
diagnostic medical device products was not attributable to any one customer or product. The
increase in sales of laboratory and scientific products is due to a $451,489 increase in Labcaire
products sales, partially offset by a decrease in ductless fume enclosure product sales and a
decrease in sales of wet scrubber products. The Company has intentionally limited the
opportunities it pursues for wet scrubber products. The increase in Labcaire sales of $451,489 is
due to new service contract and disposable sales.
Export sales from the United States are remitted in U.S. dollars and export sales for Labcaire are
remitted in English Pounds. UKHIFU sales are remitted in English Pounds and Misonix, Ltd. sales to
date have been remitted in English pounds and Euros. To the extent that the Companys revenues are
generated in English Pounds, its operating results were translated for reporting purposes into U.S.
dollars using weighted average rates of 1.62 and 2.0 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. A weakening of the English Pound and Euro, in relation to the U.S. dollar, will have
the effect of increasing recorded revenues and profits, while a weakening of the English Pound and
Euro will have the opposite effect. Since the Companys operations in England generally set prices
and bids for contracts in English Pounds, a strengthening of the English Pound, while increasing
the value of its UK assets, might place the Company at a pricing disadvantage in bidding for work
from manufacturers based overseas. The Company collects its receivables predominately in the
currency of the country the subsidiary resides in. The Company has not engaged in foreign currency
hedging transactions, which include forward exchange agreements. See Item 7A. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Companys revenues are generated from various geographic regions. The following is an
analysis of net sales by geographic region:

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were $10,464,809 compared to $10,555,489 for the
three months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease of $90,680 is due to an increase in laboratory
product sales of $811,088, primarily due to an increase in Labcaire products sales. Therapeutic
medical device products sales decreased approximately $397,540 and diagnostic medical device
products sales decreased approximately $504,228. The decrease in diagnostic medical device products
sales was primarily attributable to lower sales of Lysonix and neuroaspirator products, partially
offset by increased bone cutter AutoSonix sales.

Gross profit: Gross profit decreased to 40.2% in fiscal 2009 from 43.2% in fiscal 2008.
Gross profit for medical device products decreased to 46.4% in fiscal 2009 from 48.4% in fiscal
2008. Gross profit for therapeutic medical device products was negatively impacted by an
unfavorable product mix due to lower sales of the Neuroaspirator product in the United States.
Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 32% in fiscal 2009 from 35.7% in
fiscal 2008 due to lower margins at Labcaire due to higher costs related to the ISIS units shipped.
Gross profit for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and the three months ended June 30, 2008 was
39.7%. Gross margins for medical device products sales increased to 49.0% in the 2009 period from
45.8% in the 2008 period. The increase was due to a favorable product mix in both therapeutic and
diagnostic product sales. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 29.3% in
the 2009 period from 30.1% in the 2008 period.
19
Selling expenses: Selling expenses decreased $550,346 to $6,764,338 (17% of net sales) in
fiscal 2009 from $7,314,684 (17.8% of net sales) in fiscal 2008. Laboratory and scientific
products selling expenses decreased approximately $56,000, predominately due to decreased selling
expenses at Labcaire. Selling expenses for therapeutic medical device products decreased
approximately $494,346, principally due reduced expenses related to advertising trade shows and
exhibitions. Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 increased $293,885 to
$2,335,044 (22.3% of net sales) from $2,041,159 (19.3% of net sales) in the three months ended June
30, 2008. Selling expenses related to therapeutic medical device products sales decreased
approximately $198,263 due to lower marketing and staffing expenses. Laboratory and scientific
products selling expenses increased approximately $492,148, principally due to the transferring of
demo equipment at Labcaire to general inventory.
General and administrative expenses: Total corporate and unallocated expenses decreased
$1,509,270 in fiscal 2009 to $9,009,280 from $10,518,550 in fiscal 2008. General and
administrative expenses decreased in fiscal 2009 principally due to decreased employee related
expenses of $619,772, the favorable impact of foreign exchange on expenses of $583,587, and a
decrease in other costs of $28,241. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
June 30, 2009 decreased $860,382 to $2,061,944 from $2,922,326 for the three months ended June 30,
2008. The decrease is primarily related to reduced staffing costs in the U.S. and lower staffing
costs at Misonix, Ltd. and UKHIFU of $364,069, lower bad debt of $145,726, decreased shareholder
relations expense of $78,934, lower consulting expenses of $50,727, legal expenses of $40,015 and
other expenses of $6,911.
Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses decreased $308,727 to
$2,450,010 in fiscal 2009 from $2,758,737 in fiscal 2008. Research and development expenses for
medical device products decreased $210,622, this decrease is almost entirely related to a milestone
charge of $210,000 from Focus related to the HIFU kidney cancer research project. Laboratory and
scientific products research and development expenses decreased $98,105 related to lower spending
at Labcaire. Research and development expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased
$29,384 to $553,640 from $583,024 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. Medical device
products research and development costs decreased $25,326 and expenses for laboratory and
scientific products decreased $4,058.
Other income: Other income increased $1,711,034 in fiscal 2009 to $1,816,618 from $105,584
in fiscal 2008. The increase in other income is primarily related to the sale of the Companys
equity position in Focus, $1,516,866, and lower interest expense of $166,176. Other income
(expense) increased $265,219 to $232,853 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 from $(32,366)
for the three months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is due to gains on the disposal of equipment
of approximately $100,000, favorable foreign exchange of $68,000, lower interest expense of $64,000
and higher interest income of $25,000.
Income taxes: In fiscal 2009 the Company decreased the valuation allowance related to
deferred tax assets by approximately $545,000 net which decreased income tax expense to an
effective tax rate of 24.6%. The valuation allowance was reduced due to the sale of the Companys
Ultrasonics Laboratory Products business to iSonix for a cash payment of $3.5 million and gain on
sale of $2.6 million. A portion of the valuation allowance established in prior years was due to
no identified capital gain to offset the capital losses recorded on the write down of Hearing
Innovations and Focus equity. Upon recording the capital gain on the sale of the Companys
Ultrasonic Laboratory Products business, the valuation allowance was reversed to the extent of
offsetting the capital gain against the capital losses. The effective tax rate in fiscal 2008 of
23.7% was favorably impacted by an additional $98,000 of Research and Experimentation Credits
provided by the enactment of the Tax Relief and Healthcare Act of 2006 (HR6111) which retroactively
extended the tax credit for Research and Experimentation expenditures. The fiscal 2008 effective
income tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to the impact of permanent differences related
to SFAS123R stock-based compensation and non-deductible entertainment expenses on taxable income.
In addition, the $150,000 of income from the realization of a previously written off debt from
Focus was not tax effected because the Company did not record an income tax benefit when the debt
was originally written off.
Discontinued operations:
The following amounts relate to the Ultrasonic Laboratory Products
business that have been segregated from the Companys continuing operations and are reported as assets of discontinued operations
in the consolidated balance sheet and in the results of operations
classified as discontinued operations:

$63,000, income taxes of $16,000, partially offset by changes in inventory of $2,902,000, during
the year ended June 30, 2009. For the fiscal year 2009, cash provided by investing activities
totaled $857,000, primarily consisting of the purchase of property, plant and equipment during the
regular course of business offset by the proceeds from the sale of the Companys investment in
Focus in the amount of $ 1,516,866. For the fiscal year 2009, cash provided by financing
activities was $16,233, primarily consisting of net proceeds from short-term borrowings of

The
Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. At
June 30, 2009, these financial institutions held cash that was
approximately $2,722,675 in excess of amounts insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and other government agencies.
Revolving Credit Facilities
On December 29, 2006, the Company and its subsidiaries, Sonora and Hearing Innovations (the
Company, Sonora and Hearing Innovations collectively referred to as the Borrowers) and Wells
Fargo Bank entered into a (i) Credit and Security Agreement and a (ii) Credit and Security
Agreement Export-Import Subfacility (collectively referred to as the Credit Agreements). The
aggregate credit limit under the Credit Agreements is $8,000,000 consisting of a revolving facility
in the amount of up to $8,000,000. Up to $1,000,000 of the revolving facility is available under
the Export-Import Agreement as a subfacility for Export-Import working capital financing. All
credit facilities under the Credit Agreements mature on December 29, 2009. Payment of amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreements may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as defined in the Credit Agreements). All loans and advances under the Credit Agreements
are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Borrowers accounts receivable,
letter-of-credit rights, and all other business assets. The Borrowers have the right to terminate
or reduce the credit facility prior to December 29, 2009 by paying a fee based on the aggregate
credit limit (or reduction, as the case may be) as follows: (i) during year one of the Credit
Agreements, 3%; (ii) during year two of the Credit Agreements, 2%; and (iii) during year three of
the Credit Agreements, 1%.
The Credit Agreements, as amended, contain financial covenants requiring that the Borrowers (i) on
a consolidated basis have a Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreements) of not less than
(a) $100,000 for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2009 and (b) $130,000 for the fiscal quarter
ending June 30, 2009 and (ii) not incur or contract to incur Capital Expenditures (as defined in
the Credit Agreements) of more than $1,000,000 in the aggregate in any fiscal year or more than
$1,000,000 in any one transaction. At June 30, 2009, the Borrowers were in compliance with these
covenants.
The available amount under the Credit Agreements is the lesser of $8,000,000 or the amount
calculated under the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreements). The Borrowers must
maintain a minimum outstanding amount of $1,250,000 under the Credit Agreements at all times and
pay a fee equal to the interest rate set forth on any such shortfall. Interest on amounts borrowed
under the Credit Agreements is payable at Wells Fargos prime rate of interest plus 1% per annum
floating, payable monthly in arrears. The default rate of interest is 3% higher than the rate
otherwise payable. A fee of 1/2 % per annum on the Unused Amount (as defined in the Credit
Agreements) is payable monthly in arrears. At June 30, 2009, the balance outstanding under the
Credit Agreement was $2,633,059 and an additional $511,290 was available under this line of credit.
Labcaire has a debt purchase agreement with The Royal Bank of Scotland. The amount of this
facility bears interest at the banks base rate plus 2% and fluctuates
based upon the outstanding United Kingdom and European receivables. The agreement expires
September 30, 2010. The agreement covers all United Kingdom and European sales. At June 30, 2009,
the balance outstanding under this credit facility was $1,820,891 and Labcaire was in compliance
with all financial covenants.
Labcaire
had an overdraft facility with Lloyds Bank, which was secured by the
Labcaire building. All amounts borrowed under the facility were paid
when the Labcaire building was sold and the overdraft facility was
cancelled.
Commitments
The Company has commitments under a revolving credit facility, note payable and capital and
operating leases that will be funded from operating sources. At June 30, 2009, the Companys
contractual cash obligations and commitments relating to the revolving credit facilities, note
payable and capital and operating leases are as follows:

Critical Accounting Policies:
General: Financial Reporting Release No. 60, which was released by the SEC in December
2001, requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods
used in the preparation of the financial statements. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements included in this Annual Report includes a summary of the Companys
significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of its financial statements.
The Companys discussion and analysis of its financial condition
and results of operations is
based upon the Companys financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial
statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts
of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its
estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, goodwill, property,
plant and equipment and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical
experience and on various other factors 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 under different assumptions or conditions. The Company
believes that the following are our more critical estimates and
assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Accounts
Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: Accounts receivable, principally trade, are generally due within 30 to
90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon payment
history and the customers current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current
credit information. The Company continuously monitors aging reports, collections and payments from
customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience
and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses
have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot
guarantee the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future. The Company writes off
accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.
Inventories: Inventories, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing
overhead, are stated at the lower cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market.
At each balance sheet date, we evaluate ending inventories for excess
quantities and obsolescence. Our evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales by product,
projections of future demand by product, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for
our products, general market conditions, and the feasibility of reworking or using excess or obsolete products or components in
the production or assembly of other products that are not obsolete or for which we do not have
excess quantities in inventory. To the extent that we determine there are excess or obsolete
quantities, we record valuation reserves
against all or a portion of the value of the related products to adjust their carrying value to
estimated net realizable value. If future demand or market conditions are different from our
projections, or if we are unable to rework excess or obsolete quantities into other products, we
may change the recorded amount of inventory valuation reserves through a charge or reduction in
cost of product revenues in the period the revision is made.
Long Lived Assets: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company
capitalizes items in excess of $1,000. Minor replacements and maintenance and repair expenses are
charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the
straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 1 to 8 years.
Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the
related asset, whichever is shorter. Inventory items included in property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the
straight line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to
8 years. We evaluate long-lived assets, including property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill, for
impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that
the carrying amounts of specific assets or group of assets may not be
recoverable. When an evaluation is required, we estimate the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the specific asset or
group of assets. If the cost of the asset or group of assets cannot
be recovered by these undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge
would be recorded. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on
our experience and internal business plans. Our internal business
plans require judgments regarding future economic conditions, product
demand and pricing. Although we believe our estimates are
appropriate, significant differences in the actual performance of an
asset or group of assets may materially affect our evaluation of the
recoverability of the asset values currently recorded.
Revenue Recognition: The Company records revenue upon shipment for products shipped F.O.B.
shipping point. Products shipped F.O.B. destination points are recorded as revenue when received at
the point of destination. Shipments under agreements with distributors are not
subject to return, and payment for these shipments is not contingent on sales by the distributor.
The Company recognizes revenue on shipments to distributors in the same manner as with other
customers. Fees from exclusive license agreements are recognized ratably over the terms of the
respective agreements. Service contract and royalty income are recognized when earned.
22
Goodwill: Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the
net assets acquired in connection with the Companys acquisitions of the common stock of Labcaire,
95% of the common stock of Sonora and the acquisitions of assets of Fibra Sonics, Sonic
Technologies and CraMar and an equity interest in UKHIFU.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS Nos. 141 (SFAS 141)
and 142 (SFAS 142), Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
respectively. SFAS 141 replaced Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 16 Business
Combinations and requires the use of the purchase method for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001.
SFAS 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or
circumstances occur that indicate goodwill might be impaired. With the adoption of SFAS 142, as of
July 1, 2001, the Company reassessed the useful lives and residual values of all acquired
intangible assets to make any necessary amortization period adjustments. We review goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually and whenever events or
changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with
SFAS 142. These events or circumstances could include a
significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators,
competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or products. Application of these
impairment tests requires significant judgments, including estimation of cash flows, which is
dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, the
useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted-average cost of
capital. Changes in the projected cash flows and discount rate estimates and assumptions
underlying the valuation of identifiable intangible assets, in-process research and development,
and goodwill could materially affect the determination of fair value at acquisition or during
subsequent periods when tested for impairment. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment
tests for fiscal 2009 and 2008 in the respective fourth quarter. There were no indicators that
goodwill recorded was impaired.
Income Taxes: Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes. Under this 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 carryforwards. 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 of a change in tax
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Stock-Based Compensation: Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock option
plans under SFAS No. 123. As permitted under this standard, compensation cost was recognized using
the intrinsic value method described in APB No. 25. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted
the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
No. 123R) and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 using the modified-prospective transition
method; therefore, prior periods have not been restated. The fair value of the stock options
is estimated based upon option price, volatility, the risk free rate, and the average time the
shares are held. It is then amortized over the vesting period. See Note 8 of the Companys
consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Market Risk:
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and
prices) to which the Company is exposed are interest rates on short-term investments and foreign
exchange rates, which generate translation gains and losses due to the English Pound to U.S. Dollar
conversion of Labcaire.
Foreign Exchange Rates:
Approximately 38% of the Companys revenues in fiscal 2009 were received in British Pounds. To the
extent that the Companys revenues are generated in British Pounds, its operating results are
translated for reporting purposes into U.S. Dollars using weighted average rates of 1.61 and 2.00
for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. A strengthening of the British
Pound, in relation to the U.S. Dollar, will have the effect of increasing reported revenues and
profits, while a weakening of the British Pound will have the opposite effect. Since the Companys
operations in England generally sets prices and bids for contracts in British Pounds, a
strengthening of the British Pound, while increasing the value of its UK assets, might place the
Company at a pricing disadvantage in bidding for work from manufacturers based
overseas. The Company collects its receivables predominately in the currency of the country the
subsidiary resides in. Misonix, Ltd. invoices certain customers in Euros and as a result there is
an exchange rate exposure between the British Pound and the Euro. The Company has not engaged in
foreign currency hedging transactions, which include forward exchange agreements.

Financial Statements and Supplemental Data.
The
report of the independent registered public accounting firm and

filed as part of this Report. See Index to Consolidated
Financial Statements on page 40.
Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial
Disclosure.
Not Applicable.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act)) that are designed to assure that information
required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information
is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosures.
As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual
Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and
principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial
officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial
reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial
reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive officer
and principal financial officer, and effected by the board of directors and management to provide
reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with US Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and
dispositions of assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as
necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP and that
receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and
the directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of
unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the
financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or
detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are
subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that
the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial
reporting based on the framework in Internal Control Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation,
management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30,
2009.
This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Companys current independent
registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements
report was not subject to attestation by the Companys current independent registered public
accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only
managements report in this Annual Report.
Changes
in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in
Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fourth fiscal quarter that have
materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over
financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information.
None.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview of Compensation Program and Philosophy
Our compensation program is intended to:
|
|
|
Attract, motivate, retain and reward employees of outstanding ability; |
|
|
|
Link changes in employee compensation to individual and corporate performance; |
|
|
|
Align employees interests with those of the shareholders. |
27
The ultimate objective of our compensation program is to increase shareholder value. We seek to
achieve these objectives with a total compensation approach which takes into account a competitive
base salary, bonus pay based on the annual performance of the Company and individual goals and
stock option awards.
Base Salaries
Base salaries paid to executives are intended to attract and retain highly talented individuals. In
setting base salaries, individual experience, individual performance, the Companys performance and
job responsibilities during the year are considered. Executive salaries are reconciled by Human
Resources and evaluated against local companies of similar size and nature.
Annual Bonus Plan Compensation
The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approves annual performance-based
compensation. The purpose of the annual bonus-based compensation is to motivate executive officers
and key employees. Target bonuses, based upon recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer are
evaluated and approved by the Compensation Committee for all employees other than the Chief
Executive Officer. The bonus recommendations are derived from individual and Company performance
but not based on a specific formula and is discretionary. The Chief Executive Officers bonus
compensation is derived from the Board of Directors recommendation to the Compensation Committee
based upon the Chief Executive Officers performance and Company performance but is not based on a
specific formula and is discretionary.
Stock Option Awards
Stock option awards are intended to attract and retain highly talented executives, to provide an
opportunity for significant compensation when overall Company performance is reflected in the stock
price, and to help align executives and shareholders interests. Stock options are typically
granted at the time of hire to key new employees and annually to a broad group of existing key
employees, including executive officers.
Annual option grants to executive officers are made in the form of incentive stock options
(ISOs) to the fullest extent permitted under tax rules, with the balance granted in the form of
nonqualified stock options. ISOs have potential income tax advantage for executives if the
executive disposes of the acquired shares after satisfying certain holding periods. Tax laws
provide that the aggregate grant at date of grant for market value of ISOs that become exercisable
for any employee in any year may not exceed $100,000.
Our current standard vesting schedule for all employees is 25% on the first anniversary of the date
of grant, 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant, 75% on the third anniversary of the
date of grant and 100% on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant.
401 (k) Plan
Our Individual Deferred Tax and Savings Plan (the 401 (k) plan) is a tax qualified retirement
savings plan pursuant to which all of the Companys U.S. employees may defer compensation under
Section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company
contributes an amount equal to 25% of salary contributed under the 401 (k) plan by an eligible
employee, up to the maximum allowed under the Code. We do not provide any supplemental retirement
benefits to executive officers.
Change in Control benefits
Change in control benefits are intended to diminish the distinction that executives would face by
virtue of the personal uncertainties created by a pending or threatened change in control and to
assure that the Company will continue to have the executives full attention and services at all
time. Our change in control benefits are designed to be competitive with similar benefits available
at companies with which we compete for executives talent. These benefits, as one element of our
total compensation program, help the Company attract, retain and motivate highly talented
executives.
Mr. McManus employment agreement provides that after a change in control of the Company, he is
entitled to a one-time additional compensation payment equal to two times his total compensation
(annual salary plus bonuses) at the highest rate paid during his employment payable within 60 days
of termination. Mr. Zaremba has an agreement for the payment of six months of annual base salary
upon a change in control of the Company.

Tax deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162 (m) of the Code limits to $1,000,000 per person the amount that we may deduct for
compensation paid to any of our most highly compensated officers in any year. In fiscal 2009, there
was no executive officers compensation that exceeded $1,000,000.
The following table sets forth information for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 concerning the
compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our named executive officers during fiscal 2008 for
services rendered to the Company:

In conformity with the Companys policy, all of its directors, officers and employees execute

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries (the
Company) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended.
Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under item 15 (a). These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The
Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control
over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial
reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but
not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control
over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management,
as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and
2008 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when
considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all
material respects, the information set forth therein.

MISONIX INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the two years ended June 30, 2009
1. Basis of Presentation, Organization and Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of MISONIX, INC. (Misonix or the Company) include the
accounts of Misonix, its 100% owned subsidiary, Labcaire Systems, Ltd. (Labcaire), its 95% owned
subsidiary, Acoustic Marketing Research, Inc. doing business as Sonora Medical Systems
(Sonora), its 100% owned subsidiary, Misonix, Ltd., its 100% owned subsidiary, Hearing
Innovations, Inc. (Hearing Innovations) and its 60% owned subsidiary UKHIFU Limited (UKHIFU).
The Companys investment in Focus Surgery, Inc.
(Focus) (See Note 2) was reported using the equity
method of accounting. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
In May
2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165), which establishes general accounting
standards and disclosure for subsequent events. We adopted SFAS 165
during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. In accordance with SFAS 165, we have evaluated subsequent events through
the date and time these financial statements were issued on September 28, 2009.
Organization and Business
Misonix was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York on July 31, 1967 and its principal
revenue producing activities, from 1967 to date, have been the manufacture and distribution of
proprietary ultrasound equipment for scientific and industrial purposes and environmental control
equipment for the abatement of air pollution. Misonixs products are sold worldwide. In October
1996, the Company entered into licensing agreements to further develop one of its medical devices
(see Note 13).
In fiscal 2009, approximately 50% of the Companys net sales were to foreign markets. Labcaire
manufactures and sells the Companys fume enclosure line, as well as its own range of laboratory
and medical environmental control products, and represented approximately 70% of the Companys net
sales to foreign markets. Labcaire also distributes the Companys ultrasonic equipment for use in
scientific and industrial markets, predominately in the United Kingdom. Sales by the Company in
other major industrial countries are made primarily through distributors.
On April 7, 2009, the Company sold the assets of its Ultrasonic Laboratory Products business to
iSonix LLC (iSonix), a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonics and Materials, Inc., for a cash payment
of $3.5 million. The gain on the sale plus the results of operations from the Ultrasonic
Laboratory Products business are shown net of tax from discontinued operations. The prior year financial results have been presented to reflect the Ultrasonic Laboratory
Products business as a discontinued operation.
Sonora is located in Longmont, Colorado, and is an ISO 9001
certified refurbisher of high-performance ultrasound systems and replacement transducers for the
medical diagnostic ultrasound industry. Sonora also offers a full range of aftermarket products and
services such as its own ultrasound probes and transducers, and other services that can extend the
useful life of its customers ultrasound imaging systems beyond the usual five to seven years.
On September 6, 2007, but effective August 30, 2007, the Company and William H. Phillips
(Phillips) entered into a Settlement Agreement (the Agreement). Pursuant to the Agreement, the
Company and Phillips resolved certain disputes between them concerning the purchase price to be
paid by the Company for shares of the common stock of Acoustic owned by Phillips, which represented
5% of the total shares outstanding. The Company owned 90% percent of the outstanding
shares of Acoustic prior to the execution of the Agreement.
Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company paid Phillips the aggregate sum of $1,214,780 for 5% of Sonora. The Company paid Phillips $296,118 on June 7, 2007, $311,272 on August 30, 2007, $306,220
on November 28, 2007 and the final installment of $301,169 on February 28, 2008. As of June 30,
2008 the Company owns 95% of the outstanding common shares of Sonora.
The effect of this transaction was to increase goodwill by $969,800, decrease minority interest by
$149,737 and record interest expense of $95,242.
Hearing Innovations is located in Farmingdale, New York, and is a development company with patented
HiSonic ultrasonic technology for the treatment of profound deafness and tinnitus.
Labcaire, which began operations in February 1992, is located in North Somerset, England and its
core business is the innovation, design, manufacture, and marketing of air handling systems for the
protection of personnel, products and the environment from airborne hazards. Labcaire has developed
and manufactures an automatic endoscope disinfection system which is used predominately in
hospitals.

MISONIX INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the two years ended June 30, 2009
On August 5, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited
(PuriCore) for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million at
closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million, payable in equal installments
of $250,000 on the next four anniversaries of the closing. The Company will also receive a
commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on December
31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through Automated endoscope Reprocessing (AER) and Drying Cabinet
products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly
associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate
commission payable to the Company is subject to a maximum payment of $1,000,000. The carrying value of the net assets of Labcaire at June 30, 2009 was $562,000. The
net assets and results of operations for Labcaire are presented in the continuing operations for all periods presented. Sales for Labcaire were $14 million and
$13.6 million for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Labcaire reported pre-tax net losses of $175,000 and $522,000 for the years ended
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
UKHIFU was incorporated in the
United Kingdom in March 2006. UKHIFU operates in the U.K. and invoices in
British pounds and its sales represented 2% of the net sales to foreign markets in fiscal 2009.
UKHIFU is in the business of providing
Sonablate 500® equipment to
doctors, on a fee for service basis, to use for the ablation of cancerous tissue in the prostate
and is the sales/marketing and service arm of the Company in the UK for Sonablate 500 equipment.
In addition to the original investment, the Company made payments of approximately $39,000 and
$50,000 to Imaging Equipment during the years ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively.
The additional payments were recorded as goodwill and the
Companys equity position remains at 60%.
Misonix, Ltd. was incorporated in the United Kingdom on July 19, 1993. Misonix, Ltd. operates in the U.K. and
invoices in Euros and its sales represented 5% of net sales to foreign markets for fiscal 2009.
This business is the sales, marketing, distribution and servicing arm
for the Companys medical device products in Europe.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months
or less to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents at June 30, 2009 and 2008. Cash
balances outside the United States totaled $208,373 and $167,128 at June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
The
Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. At
June 30, 2009, these financial institutions held cash that was
approximately $2,722,675 in excess of amounts insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation and other government agencies.
Major Customers and Concentration of Credit Risk
Included in sales of the medical devices segment are sales to United States Surgical Corporation
(USS) in 2009 and 2008 of approximately $3,467,000 and $3,629,000 respectively. Total royalties
from USS related to their sales of the Companys ultrasonic cutting product which uses high
frequency sound waves to coagulate and divide tissue for both open and laproscopic surgery, were
approximately $590,000 and $691,000 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Accounts receivable from this customer were approximately $382,000 and $885,000 at
June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. At June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Companys accounts receivable
with customers outside the United States were approximately $5,182,000 and $4,162,000,
respectively, of which $3,686,000 and $2,608,000, respectively, related to its Labcaire operations.
The Company utilizes letters of credit on foreign or export sales where appropriate.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable, principally trade, are generally due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at
amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing
credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customers current
credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company
continuously monitors aging reports, collections and payments from customers and maintains a
provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer
collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within
expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee the same credit loss
rates will be experienced in the future. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they
become uncollectible.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market and consist of raw
materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Management evaluates the need to record adjustments
for impairments of inventory on a quarterly basis. The Companys policy is to assess the valuation
of all inventories, including raw materials, work-in-process and finished goods. Inventory items
used for demonstration purposes, rentals or on consignment are classified in property, plant and
equipment.
F-8
MISONIX INC. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the two years ended June 30, 2009
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. The Company capitalizes items in excess of
$1,000. Minor replacements and maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred.
Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated
useful lives ranging from 1 to 8 years. Prior to its sale, depreciation of the Labcaire building
was provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 50 years. Leasehold
improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset,
whichever is shorter. The Companys policy is to periodically evaluate the appropriateness of the
lives assigned to property, plant and equipment and make adjustments if necessary. Inventory items
included in property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight line method over
estimated useful lives of 3 to 8 years.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The book values of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate
their fair values principally because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying
value of the Companys debt approximates its fair value due to variable interest rates based on
prime or other similar benchmark rates.
Revenue Recognition
The Company records revenue upon shipment for products shipped F.O.B. shipping point. Products
shipped F.O.B. destination point are recorded as revenue when received at the point of destination.
Shipments under agreements with distributors are not subject to return, and payment for these
shipments is not contingent on sales by the distributor. The Company recognizes revenue on
shipments to distributors in the same manner as with other customers. Fees from exclusive license
agreements are recognized ratably over the terms of the respective agreements. Service contracts
and royalty income is recognized when earned. Fee for use revenue is recognized when the procedure
is performed.
Long-Lived Assets
The carrying values of intangible and other long-lived assets, excluding goodwill, are periodically
reviewed to determine if any impairment indicators are present. If it is determined that such
indicators are present and the review indicates that the assets will not be fully recoverable,
based on undiscounted estimated cash flows over the remaining amortization and depreciation period,
their carrying values are reduced to estimated fair value. Impairment indicators include, among
other conditions, cash flow deficits, an historic or anticipated decline in revenue or operating
profit, adverse legal or regulatory developments, accumulation of costs significantly in excess of
amounts originally expected to acquire the asset and a material decrease in the fair value of some
or all of the assets. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash
flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. No such
impairment existed at June 30, 2009 and 2008.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired
in connection with the Companys acquisitions of the common stock of Labcaire, 95% of the common
stock of Sonora and the acquisitions of assets of Fibra Sonics, Sonic Technologies and CraMar and
an equity interest in UKHIFU.
In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS Nos. 141 (SFAS 141)
and 142 (SFAS 142), Business Combinations and Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,
respectively. SFAS 141 replaced Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion 16 Business
Combinations and requires the use of the purchase method for all business combinations initiated
after June 30, 2001.
SFAS 142 requires goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives to no longer be
amortized, but instead be tested for impairment at least annually and whenever events or
circumstances occur that indicate goodwill might be impaired. With the adoption of SFAS 142, as of
July 1, 2001, the Company reassessed the useful lives and residual values of all acquired
intangible assets to make any necessary amortization period adjustments. We review goodwill and
identifiable intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually and whenever events or
changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS 142. These events or circumstances could include a
significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators,
competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or products. Application of these
impairment tests requires significant judgments, including estimation of cash flows, which is
dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, the
useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted-average cost of
capital. Changes in the projected cash flows and discount rate estimates and assumptions
underlying the valuation of identifiable intangible assets, in-process research and development,
and goodwill could materially affect the determination of fair value at acquisition or during
subsequent periods when tested for impairment. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment
tests for fiscal 2009 and 2008 in the respective fourth quarter. There were no indicators that
goodwill recorded was impaired.

The cost of acquiring or processing patents, trademarks, and other intellectual properties is
capitalized at cost. This amount is being amortized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the underlying assets, which is approximately 17 years. Net patents
reported in other assets totaled $708,641 and $487,000 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Accumulated amortization totaled $303,175 and $299,000 at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $61,000 and
$75,000, respectively.

Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes
(SFAS 109). Under this 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 of a change in tax rates is
recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
The FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48) which was
effective for the Company on July 1, 2007. FIN 48 addresses the determination of whether tax
benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial
statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position
only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the
taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in
the financial statements from such position should be measured based on the largest benefit that
has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48
also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim periods and disclosure requirements. The Company classifies income tax related interest
and penalties as a component of income tax expense.
In June 2006, the FASB ratified the consensus reached by the Emerging Issues Tax Force in Issue No.
06-3 (EITF 06-3) How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities
Should be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The scope
of EITF 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a
revenue-producing activity between a seller and a customer and may include, but is not limited to,
sales, use, value added, and some excise taxes. EITF 06-3 also concluded that the presentation of
taxes within its scope on either a gross (included in revenues and costs) or net (excluded from
revenues) basis is an accounting policy decision subject to appropriate disclosure. EITF 06-3 is
effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company currently presents these
taxes on a net basis and has elected not to change its presentation method.

Valuation of Deferred Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109. The Company would record a
valuation allowance when based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that
the amount of future tax benefit would not be realized. While the Company believes that it is
positioned for long-term growth, the volatility in our industry and markets has made it
increasingly difficult to predict sales and operating results on a short-term basis, and when
coupled with the cumulative losses reported over the last four fiscal years, the Company was no
longer able to conclude that, based upon the weight of available evidence, it was more likely than
not that its previously recorded deferred tax asset of $7.4 million would be realized. However, the Company reduced its valuation allowance by
approximately $600,000 because the Company sold its Ultrasonic Laboratory product line, which
resulted in a capital gain, and could be utilized against the capital losses incurred from the equity in Focus and Hearing Innovations.
Net Income (Loss) Per Share
In
accordance with SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS
128), basic net income (loss) per common share
(Basic EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding. Diluted net income (loss) per common share
(Diluted EPS) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by
the weighted average number of common shares and the dilutive common share equivalents and
convertible securities then outstanding. Diluted EPS for all years presented is the same as Basic
EPS, as the inclusion of the effect of common share equivalents then outstanding would be
anti-dilutive. For this reason, excluded from the calculation of Diluted EPS for the two years
ended June 30, 2008 and 2009 were options to purchase 1,822,841 shares and 1,799,918 shares,
respectively.
Comprehensive Loss
The components of the Companys comprehensive loss are net loss and foreign currency translation
adjustments. The foreign currency translation adjustments included in comprehensive loss have not
been tax effected as investments in foreign affiliates are deemed to be permanent.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Company follows the policies prescribed by SFAS No. 52, Foreign Currency Translation, for
translation of the financial results of its foreign subsidiaries. Accordingly, assets and
liabilities are translated at the foreign currency exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet
date. Resulting translation adjustments due to fluctuations in the exchange rates are recorded as
other comprehensive income. Results of operations are translated using the weighted average of the
prevailing foreign currency rates during the fiscal year. Stockholders equity accounts are
translated at historical exchange rates. Gains and losses on foreign currency transactions are
recorded in other income and expense.
Research and Development
All research and development expenses are expensed as incurred and are included in operating
expenses.
Advertising Expense
The cost of advertising is expensed as of the first showing. The Company incurred approximately
$380,000 and $464,000 in advertising costs during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported
amount 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.

Shipping and Handling
Shipping and handling fees for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $477,000
and $478,000, respectively, and are reported as a component of net sales. Shipping and handling
costs for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $232,000 and $454,000,
respectively, and are reported as a component of selling expenses.
Stock-Based Compensation
Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock option plans under SFAS No. 123 (SFAS
123). As permitted under this standard, compensation cost was recognized using the intrinsic value
method described in APB Opinion No. 25 (APB 25). Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the
fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123R) and Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 using
the modified-prospective transition method; therefore, prior periods have not been restated. See
Note 9 for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of SFAS No. 162 (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 will be the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S.
GAAP, superseding existing FASB, AICPA, EITF and related literature. The Codification eliminates
the GAAP hierarchy contained in SFAS No. 162 and establishes one level of authoritative GAAP. All
other literature is considered non-authoritative. SFAS 168 is effective for financial statements
issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company expects that SFAS 168 will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157).
SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP), and expands disclosures
about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies whenever other standards require, or permit, assets
or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have an impact on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities-Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS 159).
SFAS 159 permits entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at
fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected
will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not
have an impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R),
Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). This Statement significantly changes the financial
accounting and reporting of business combination transactions in the Companys consolidated
financial statements. SFAS 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and
prohibits early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 141R on
our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial
Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 significantly changes the accounting
for and reporting of noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Companys consolidated financial
statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and prohibits
early adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 160 on our
consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of
Intangible Assets (FSP FAS 142-3). FSP FAS 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142). FSP
FAS 142-3 is intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible
asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the
asset under SFAS 141R and other U.S. GAAP. FSP FAS 142-3 applies to all intangible assets and is
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of
adopting FSP FAS 142-3 on our consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash
flows.

2. Acquisitions
Focus Surgery, Inc.
On May 3, 1999, the Company invested $3,050,000 to obtain an approximately 20% equity interest in
Focus, a privately-held technology Company and representation on its Board of Directors.
Additionally, the Company had options and warrants to purchase an additional 5% of the equity of
Focus. The agreement provides for a series of development and manufacturing agreements whereby the
Company would upgrade existing Focus products and create new products based on high intensity
focused ultrasound (HIFU) technology for the non-invasive treatment of tissue for certain medical
applications. The Company has the optional rights to market and sell several other high potential
HIFU applications for treatment of both benign and cancerous tumors of the breast, liver and kidney
and had the right of first refusal to purchase 51% of the equity of Focus. The Companys portions
of the net losses of Focus were recorded since the date of acquisition. During fiscal 2001, the
Company evaluated the investment with respect to the financial performance and the achievement of
specific targets and goals and determined that the equity investment was impaired and therefore the
Company recorded an impairment loss in the amount of $1,916,398. The net carrying value of the
investment at June 30, 2009 and 2008 is $0. Under the equity method of accounting, if the equity
investment was ever deemed not impaired, the Company would have to record its share of Focus
losses since 2001 before the Company can record income from Focus. Focus unaudited net loss in
fiscal year 2008 was $513,000.
On November 7, 2000, the Company purchased a $300,000, 5.1% Secured Cumulative Convertible
Debenture from Focus, due December 22, 2002 (the 5.1% Focus Debenture). The 5.1% Focus Debenture
was convertible into 250 shares of Focus preferred stock at the option of the Company at any time
after December 22, 2000 for two years at a conversion price of $1,200 per share, if the 5.1% Focus
Debenture was not retired by Focus. Interest accrues and was payable at maturity or was convertible
on the same terms as the 5.1% Focus Debentures principal amount. The 5.1% Focus Debenture was
secured by a lien on all of Focus right, title and interest in accounts receivable, inventory,
property, plant and equipment and processes of specified products whether now existing or hereafter
arising after the date of the 5.1% Focus Debenture. The Company recorded an allowance against the
entire balance of principal and accrued interest due in fiscal 2001. The 5.1% Focus Debenture was
in default and the Company was negotiating an extended due date and conversion right. The Company
believed the loan was impaired since the Company did not anticipate that the 5.1% Focus Debenture
would be satisfied in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
On April 12, 2001, the Company purchased a $300,000, 6% Secured Cumulative Convertible Debenture
from Focus, due May 25, 2003 (the 6% Focus Debenture). The 6% Focus Debenture was convertible
into 250 shares of Focus preferred stock at the option of the Company at any time after May 25,
2003 for two years at a conversion price of $1,200 per share, if the 6% Focus Debenture was not
retired by Focus. Interest accrues and was payable at maturity, or was convertible on the same
terms as the 6% Focus Debentures principal amount. The 6% Focus Debenture was secured by a lien on
all of Focus right, title and interest in accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment and processes of specified products whether now existing or hereafter arising after the
date of the 6% Focus Debenture. The Company recorded an allowance against the entire balance of
principal and accrued interest due in fiscal 2001. The 6% Focus Debenture was in default and the
Company was negotiating an extended due date and conversion right. The Company believed the loan
was impaired since the Company did not anticipate that the 6% Focus Debenture would be satisfied in
accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
On July 31, 2001, the Company purchased a second $300,000, 6% Secured Cumulative Convertible
Debenture from Focus, due May 25, 2003 (the Focus Debenture). The Focus Debenture was convertible
into 250 shares of Focus preferred stock at the option of the Company at any time after the due
date for two years at a conversion price of $1,200 per share. The Focus Debenture also contained
warrants, deemed nominal in value, to purchase an additional 125 shares to be exercised at the
option of the Company. Interest accrues and was payable at maturity or was convertible on the same
terms as the Focus Debentures principal amount. The Focus Debenture was secured by a lien on all
of Focus right, title and interest in accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and
equipment and processes of specified products whether now existing or arising after the date of the
Focus Debenture. The Company recorded an allowance against the entire balance of principal and
accrued interest due in fiscal 2002. The Focus Debenture was in default and the Company was
negotiating an extended due date and conversion right. The Company believed the loan was impaired
since the Company did not anticipate that the Focus Debenture would be satisfied in accordance with
the contractual terms of the loan agreement.
During fiscal 2002, the Company entered into a loan agreement whereby Focus borrowed $60,000 from
the Company. This loan matured on May 30, 2002 and was extended to December 31, 2002. The loan
bears interest at 6% per annum and contained warrants, which were deemed nominal in value, to
acquire additional shares. The loan was secured by a lien on all of Focus right, title and
interest in accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant and equipment and processes of
specified products whether now existing or arising after the date of the loan. The Company recorded
an allowance against the entire balance at June 30, 2004 and 2003. The loan was in default and the
Company was negotiating an extended due date. The Company believed that this loan was impaired
since the Company did not anticipate that this loan would be paid in accordance with the
contractual terms of the loan agreement.

For the two years ended June 30, 2009
In May 2004, the Companys ownership was reduced to 13% due to additional preferred stock issued by
Focus.
Had the Company converted the 5.1% Focus Debenture, 6% Focus Debenture and Focus Debenture, and
exercised all warrants, the Company would have held an interest in Focus of approximately 18%.
The Company has subcontracted Focus to perform research and development activities for which the
Company paid $52,000 and $229,000 to Focus in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively, which is recorded
as research and development expenses and selling expenses in the accompanying statements of
operations. During fiscal 2004, Focus entered into an exclusive agreement with the Company to
distribute the Sonablate® 500 in the European market. The Company has purchased approximately
$473,000 and $510,000 of product from Focus during fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Total sales
to Focus were approximately $772,000 and $492,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. Trade accounts receivable due from Focus at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were
approximately $148,000 and $86,000, respectively. Accounts payable to Focus totaled approximately
$4,000 at June 30, 2009 and $498,000 at June 30, 2008.
On March 3, 2008, the Company, USHIFU, LLC (USHIFU), FS Acquisition Company and certain other
stockholders of Focus entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the Focus Agreement). The closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Focus Agreement took place on July 1, 2008.
Pursuant to the Focus Agreement, the Company sold to USHIFU the 2,500 shares of Series M Preferred
Stock of Focus owned by the Company for a cash payment of $837,500. The Company also received
$679,366.33, fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of loans
previously made by the Company to Focus, with the remaining fifty percent (50%) of such amount or
$679,366.33 to be due on January 1, 2010. Upon collection, such
payment will be recognized as a gain. Interest payable quarterly, commencing October 1, 2008,
at the rate of eight (8%) per annum will be paid on the balance due the Company. USHIFU and Focus
have each granted the Company a security interest in certain of their assets to secure the amount
owed. The Company is also a party to an inter-creditor agreement with USHIFU, Focus and one of the
other former stockholders of Focus with respect to the collateral securing the amount owed the
Company. As a result of this transaction, the Company reported a gain of $1.5 million which was reported in Other income in the
accompanying statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.
UKHIFU Limited
On March 27, 2006 the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Misonix Ltd., acquired a 60%
equity position in UKHIFU from Imaging Equipment which owns the remaining 40%. UKHIFU is in the
business of distributing and servicing equipment for the ablation of cancerous tissue in the
prostate.
In addition to the original investment, the Company made payments of approximately $39,000 and
$50,000 to Imaging Equipment during the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The
additional payments were recorded as goodwill.

Labcaire sold its building in the United Kingdom in June 2007 in a
sale and leaseback transaction with TESCO Ltd. (Tesco). Tesco is
utilizing the property to expand its operations which will require
Labcaire to relocate to another facility upon Tescos receiving
permission to expand from the local authorities. Labcaire sold the
building for $3.6 million and recorded a deferred gain of $1.6
million which will be amortized over the 10-year lease period.
6. Revolving Credit Facilities
On December 29, 2006 the Company and its subsidiaries, Sonora and Hearing Innovations
(collectively referred to as the Borrowers) and Wells Fargo Bank entered into a (i) Credit and
Security Agreement and (ii) Credit and Security Agreement Export-Import Subfacility (collectively
referred to as the Credit Agreements).
The aggregate credit limit under the Credit Agreements is $8,000,000 consisting of a revolving
facility in the amount of up to $8,000,000. Up to $1,000,000 of the revolving facility is available
under the Export-Import Agreements as a subfacility for Export-Import working capital financing.
All credit facilities under the Credit Agreements mature on December 29, 2009. Payment of amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreements may be accelerated upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default (as defined in the Credit Agreements). All loans and advances under the Credit Agreements
are secured by a first priority security interest in all of the Borrowers accounts receivable,
deposit accounts, property, plant and equipment, general intangibles, intellectual property,
inventory, letter-of-credit rights, and all other business assets. The Borrowers have the right to
terminate or reduce the credit facility prior to December 29, 2009 by paying a fee based on the
aggregate credit limit (or reduction, as the case may be) as follows: (i) during year one of the
Credit Agreements, 3%; (ii) during year two of the Credit Agreements, 2%; and (iii) during year
three of the Credit Agreements, 1%.
The Credit Agreements contain financial covenants requiring that the Borrowers (i) on a
consolidated basis must have a Net Income (as defined in the Credit Agreements) of not less than
$130,000 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2009; and (ii) not incur or contract to incur
Capital Expenditures (as defined in the Credit Agreements) of more
than $1,000,000 in the aggregate
in any fiscal year or more than $1,000,000 in any one transaction. At June 30, 2009, the Borrowers
were in compliance with these covenants.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the two years ended June 30, 2009
The available amount under the Credit Agreements is the lesser of $8,000,000 or the amount
calculated under the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Borrowers must
maintain a minimum outstanding amount of $1,250,000 under the Credit Agreements at all times and
pay a fee equal to the interest rate set forth on any such shortfall. Interest on amounts borrowed
under the Credit Agreements is payable at Wells Fargos prime rate of interest plus 1%
per annum floating, payable monthly in arrears. The default rate of interest is 3% higher
than the rate otherwise payable. A fee of 1/2 % per annum on the Unused Amount (as defined in the
Credit Agreements) is payable monthly in arrears. At June 30, 2009, the balance outstanding under
the Credit Agreements was $2,633,059. Amounts available to be borrowed are determined based on
specified percentages of the Borrowers eligible trade receivables and inventories. An additional
$511,290 was available to be borrowed at June 30, 2009.
On September 29, 2008, Labcaire entered into a debt purchase agreement (the RBS Agreement) with
the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS). The RBS Agreement replaced the debt purchase agreement with
Lloyds TSB Commercial Finance which expired September 28, 2008. The amount of this facility bears
interest at the RBS base rate plus 2%. The RBS Agreement expires September 30, 2010. The
available amount under the RBS Agreement is the lesser of $3,000,000 or the amount calculated under
the borrowing base provided for by the RBS Agreement. The RBS Agreement covers all United Kingdom
and European sales. At June 30, 2009, the balance outstanding under this credit facility was
$1,820,891 and Labcaire was not in violation of the financial covenants contained in the RBS
Agreement.

Certain of the leases provide for escalation clauses, renewal options and the payment of real
estate taxes and other occupancy costs. Rent expense for all operating leases was approximately

9. Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Prior to July 1, 2005, the Company accounted for stock option plans under SFAS 123. As permitted
under this standard, compensation cost was recognized using the intrinsic value method described in
APB 25. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair-value recognition provisions of SFAS
123R and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 using the modified-prospective transition method;
therefore, prior periods have not been restated. Compensation cost recognized in the years ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to,
but not yet vested as of, July 1, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance
with the provisions of SFAS 123R.
Stock options are granted with exercise prices not less than the fair market value of our common
stock at the time of the grant, with an exercise term as determined by the Committee administering
the applicable option plan (the Committee) not to exceed 10 years. The Committee determines the
vesting period for the Companys stock options. Generally, such stock options have vesting periods
of immediate to four years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting
specific retirement, death or disability criteria, and upon change of control. During the years
ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company granted options to purchase 303,150 and 61,850 shares of
the Companys common stock, respectively.
Compensation expense is recognized in the general and administrative expenses line item of the
Companys statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. There are no
capitalized stock-based compensation costs at June 30, 2009 and 2008. As of June 30, 2009, there
was approximately $423,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested
share-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.

jury in the District Court of Boulder County, Colorado has returned a
verdict against Sonora and in favor of Technics LLC in the amount of
$419,000 which was recorded by the Company during the fourth quarter
of fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2008, the judgment was decreased to
$324,000 and the $95,000 reduction was included in other income. The
case involved royalties claimed on recoating of transesophogeal
probes, which is a process performed by Sonora. Approximately 80% of
the judgment was based on the jurys estimate of royalties for
potential sales of the product in the future. Sonora moved for
judgment notwithstanding the verdict based on, among other things,
the award of damages for future royalties. In December, 2008
the Colorado Supreme Court affirmed the judgment of the Colorado
Court of Appeals in favor of Technics LLC. In January, 2009, the
case was returned to the County of Boulder for entry of judgment in
favor of Technics LLC in the amount of $324,000 together with costs
along with prejudgment and post judgment interest. In June, 2009
the judgment was increased to $602,000 and the $278,000 increase is
included in litigation expense and was paid.
The Company is a defendant in claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. The
Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to such claims and lawsuits and is vigorously
contesting them. Although the outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the
Company believes that these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Companys
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Employment Agreement
Effective
July 1, 2009, the Company entered into a new Employment Agreement with Michael A. McManus, Jr., the Companys
President and Chief Executive Officer (the Employment Agreement). The Employment Agreement
expires June 30, 2010 and renews for successive one-year periods thereafter unless terminated by
either party not less then 90 days prior to the end of the annual term. The Employment Agreement
provides for an annual base salary of $275,000, and an annual bonus based on Mr. McManus
achievement of annual goals and objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee of the
Companys Board of Directors. Mr. McManus is entitled under the Employment Agreement to
participate in or receive additional benefits. He is entitled to participate in any plans and
programs made available to the executive employees of the Company generally. In addition to
termination for cause (including disability) and death, Mr. McManus can terminate the Employment
Agreement for good reason (including a change of control of the Company). If Mr. McManus
terminates the Employment Agreement for good reason the Company must pay him an amount equal to two
times his total compensation (annual base salary plus bonus) at the highest rate paid during the
period of his employment, payable in a lump sum within sixty days of termination of employment.
Mr. McManus has also agreed in the Employment Agreement to an eighteen month post-termination
covenant not to compete, as well as other customary covenants concerning non-solicitation and
non-disclosure of confidential information of the Company.
Purchase Commitments
As of June 30, 2009 and 2008 the Company had inventory related purchase commitments totaling
approximately $1,759,000 and $3,586,000, respectively.

scientific products and medical devices. Laboratory and scientific products include the Sonicator
ultrasonic liquid processor, Aura ductless fume enclosure, the Labcaire Autoscope and Guardian
endoscope disinfectant systems. Medical devices include the Auto Sonix ultrasonic cutting and
coagulatory system, refurbishing revenues of high-performance ultrasound systems and replacement
transducers for the medical diagnostic ultrasound industry, ultrasonic lithotriptor, ultrasonic
neuroaspirator (used for neurosurgery) and soft tissue aspirator (used primarily for the cosmetic

12. Income Taxes
There are no federal, state or foreign income tax audits in process as of June 30, 2009. Open tax
years related to federal and state income tax filings are for the
years ended June 30, 2006, 2007, 2008
and 2009. The Company files state tax returns in New York and Colorado and its tax returns in
those states have never been examined. The Companys foreign subsidiaries, Labcaire, Misonix, Ltd.
and UKHIFU file tax returns in England. The England Inland Revenue Service has not examined these
tax returns.
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.
The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax
assets and liabilities are presented below:

As of June 30, 2009, the valuation allowance was determined by estimating the recoverability of
the deferred tax assets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management
considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets
will not be realized. In making this assessment, the ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is
dependent upon the generation of future taxable income and tax planning strategies in making this
assessment. Based on the level of historical income and projections for future taxable income over
the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely
than not that the Company will realize the benefits of these deductible differences, net of the
existing valuation allowances at June 30, 2009. The amount of the deferred tax asset considered
realizable, however, could be reduced in the near term if estimates of future taxable income during
the carryforward periods are not realized.

For the two years ended June 30, 2009
At June 30, 2009, the Company had a net operating loss carryforward (NOL) of approximately
$16,000,000 available to reduce future New York state taxable income. This NOL begins to expire in
fiscal year 2022. The Company has provided a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax asset
related to this loss.
In prior years, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset in connection with the loss on impairment
of equity investments which included the carrying value of the investments and related notes and
debentures. On July 1, 2008, the Company closed the transaction for the sale of its Focus
equity to USHIFU in addition to receiving payment for one half of the outstanding debt due from
Focus for a total of $1,516,866 pursuant to the terms of the Focus Agreement. The balance of the
debt plus accumulated interest is to be repaid in January 2010. On April 7, 2009, the Company sold
its assets of its Ultrasonics Laboratory products business to iSonix for a cash payment of $3.5
million. As a result of this transaction, the Company recorded a capital gain on the transaction
of $2,670,777. As a result of these transactions, the Company reversed $918,747 of the valuation
allowance related to the impairment of equity investments. The valuation allowance related to this
impairment of equity investments totaled $205,706 and $942,020 at June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
During fiscal 2006, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset related to operating loss carryovers
incurred by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hearing Innovations, in the amount of $1,337,743. The
Company recorded a full valuation allowance against these assets in accordance with the provisions
of SFAS No. 109. Based upon the capital nature of the deferred tax asset and the Companys
projections for future capital gains in which the deferred tax asset would be deductible,
management did not deem it more likely than not that the asset would be recoverable at June 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively.
As of
June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $9,553,297 of U.S. federal net operating loss
carryforwards and unused tax credit carryforwards which are available to offset future taxable
income. These carryforwards expire in the tax years between 2023 and 2028, if not utilized.
Significant
components of the income tax (benefit) expense attributable to operations are as

During the year ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded
an adjustment to reverse a previously established FIN 48 reserve due to the closing of certain statutes from prior
years tax returns.
13. Licensing Agreements for Medical Technology
In October 1996, the Company entered into a License Agreement (the USS License) with USS for a
twenty-year period, covering the further development and commercial exploitation of the Companys
medical technology relating to ultrasonic cutting, which uses high frequency sound waves to
coagulate and divide tissue for both open and laproscopic surgery.
The USS License gives USS exclusive worldwide marketing and sales rights for this technology. The
Company received $100,000 under the option agreement preceding the USS License. This amount was
recorded into income in fiscal 1997. Under the USS License, the Company has received $475,000 in
licensing fees (which are being recorded as income over the term of the USS License), plus
royalties based upon net sales of such products. Total royalties from sales of this device were
approximately $613,000 and $691,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively.
14. Employee Profit Sharing Plan
The Company sponsors a retirement plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the Code), for all full time employees. Participants may contribute a
percentage of compensation not to exceed the maximum allowed under the Code, which was $15,500 or
$20,500 if the employee was over 50 years of age for the year ended June 30, 2009. The plan
provides for a matching contribution by the Company of 10%-25% of annual eligible compensation
contributed by the participants based on years of service, which amounted to $102,218 and $143,127
for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
15. Subsequent Event
On August 5, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited
(PuriCore) for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million
at closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million, payable in equal
installments of $250,000 on the next four anniversaries of the closing. The Company will also
receive a commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on
December 31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through Automated Endoscope Reprocessing (AER) and Drying
Cabinet products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly
associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate
commission payable to the Company is subject to a maximum payment of
$1,000,000. The results of the Labcaire subsidiary have been reported
in the Companys continuing operations.
