1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2010, or any interim period.
The balance sheet at June 30, 2009 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2009.
Reclassification
Certain prior period amounts in the accompanying financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current period’s presentation.
Discontinued Operations
On April 7, 2009, the Company sold the assets of its Ultrasonics Laboratory Products (“Ultrasonics”) business to iSonix LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonics and Materials, Inc., for a cash payment of $3.5 million. The results of operations from the Ultrasonic business are shown net of tax from discontinued operations. Results of Ultrasonics for all periods presented are classified as a discontinued operation.
On August 5, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire Systems, Ltd. (“Labcaire”) subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited 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 note receivable was discounted over the four years using a 4% imputed interest rate. This rate is consistent with published discounts. The discounted value of the note ($900,000) is used to determine gain or loss on the sale, and is included in other assets in the consolidated balance sheet. 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 aggregate commission will have a zero value in determining the current gain or loss on the sale of Labcaire until the commission is paid. As of March 31, 2010, there were no commissions paid. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, the Company recorded an after tax loss on the sale of Labcaire of $195,716. Results of Labcaire for all periods presented are classified as discontinued operations.
On October 2, 2009, Acoustic Marketing Research, Inc. d/b/a Sonora Medical Systems (“Sonora”) sold substantially all of its assets to Medical Imaging Holdings (“Medical Imaging”), Inc. for a cash payment of $8,000,000 (subject to a future adjustment based on net working capital at the closing). On April 6, 2010, the Company made an adjustment of $257,029 to Medical Imaging for the net difference of adjustments of working capital, and the effect of income taxes. These amounts are reflected in discontinued operations in the March 31, 2010 financial statements. The Company also purchased at the closing of such transaction, utilizing $1,200,000 of the proceeds, the remaining outstanding 5% of Sonora’s shares. Sonora is engaged in the business of (i) selling, repairing and servicing new and used diagnostic ultrasound systems and consumable accessories used in conjunction therewith, (ii) selling, repairing, servicing and testing diagnostic ultrasound transducers, (iii) developing and selling equipment for testing ultrasound transducers, (iv) selling equipment used for cleaning and disinfecting ultrasound transducers including, but not limited to, transesophogeal echocardiography probes, (v) selling equipment used for testing endoscopic probes, (vi) repairing and servicing MRI systems and parts and subsystems used therein, and (vii) performing training for the service and maintenance of diagnostic ultrasound and MRI systems, in each instance throughout the world. Results of Sonora for all periods presented are classified as discontinued operations.

2. Net Income (Loss) Per Share of Common Stock
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 for the period. Diluted net income per common share (“diluted EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive common share equivalents outstanding (principally outstanding common stock options) for the period.
The number of weighted average common shares used in the calculation of basic EPS and diluted EPS were as follows:
                                 
    For the nine months ended     For the three months ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2010     2009     2010     2009  
Basic shares
    7,001,369       7,001,369       7,001,369       7,001,369  
Dilutive effect of stock options
                37,016        
 
                       
Diluted shares
    7,001,369       7,001,369       7,038,385       7,001,369  
 
                       
Excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS are options to purchase 1,649,860 and 1,793,063 shares of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and nine months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The excluded shares are any shares in which the average stock price for the quarter or year-to-date is less than the exercise price of the outstanding options in the period in which the Company has net income.
Diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2010 and three and nine months ended March 31, 2009 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 all are outstanding options for 1,848,510 and 1,825,213 shares for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 and three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively.

3. Comprehensive Income Loss
Total comprehensive loss income was $1,334,114 and $255,670 for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2010 and $(29) and $217,359 for the nine and three months ended March 31, 2009, respectively. The components of comprehensive (loss) income are net income (loss) and foreign currency translation adjustments.
4. Stock-Based Compensation
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 Company’s stock options. Generally, such stock options have vesting periods of three to four years. Certain option awards provide for accelerated vesting upon meeting specific retirement, death or disability criteria, and upon a change in control. During the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company did not grant any options to purchase the Company’s common stock. During the nine month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted options to purchase 148,300 and 303,150 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense for the nine month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $198,000 and $141,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $57,000 and $58,000, respectively. Compensation expense is recognized in the general and administrative expenses line item of the Company’s statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the vesting periods. As of March 31, 2010, there was approximately $497,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2 years.
There was no cash received from the exercise of stock options for the nine and three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. Cash flows from tax benefits attributable to tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) are classified as financing cash flows.
The fair values of the options granted during the periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model on the basis of the following weighted average assumptions during the respective periods:
                                 
    For the nine months     For the three months  
    ended     ended  
    March 31,     March 31,  
    2010     2009     2010     2009  
Risk-free interest rate
    3.1 %     3.1 %            
Expected option life in years
    6.5       6.5              
Expected stock price volatility
    81.9 %     54.5 %            
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %            
Weighted-average fair value of options granted
  $ 2.02     $ 1.14

The expected life was based on historical exercises and terminations. The expected volatility for the expected life of the options is determined using historical volatilities based on historical stock prices. The expected dividend yield is 0% as the Company has historically not declared dividends and does not expect to declare any in the future.
Changes in outstanding stock options during the nine months ended March 31, 2010 were as follows:
                                 
    Options  
                    Weighted

Intrinsic value for purposes of this table represents the amount by which the fair value of the underlying stock, based on the respective market prices at March 31, 2010 or if exercised, the exercise dates, exceeds the exercise prices of the respective options.
5. Focus Surgery, Inc.
On March 3, 2008, the Company, USHIFU, LLC (“USHIFU”), FS Acquisition Company and certain other stockholders of Focus Surgery, Inc. (“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, 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 of $679,366 paid on January 4, 2010. Upon collection, payment was recognized as a gain.

6. Income Taxes
There are no federal, state or foreign audits in process as of March 31, 2010. The Company files state tax returns in New York and Colorado and its tax returns in those states have never been examined. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries, Misonix, Ltd. and UKHIFU Limited file tax returns in England. The England Inland Revenue Service has never examined these tax returns.
As of March 31, 2010, 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 March 31, 2010. 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.
7. Inventories
Inventories are summarized as follows:
                 
    March 31,     June 30,

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of “observable inputs” and minimize the use of “unobservable inputs.” The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets as of the measurement date.
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.
The following is a summary of the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments at March 31, 2010:
                 
March 31, 2010   Carrying Amount     Fair Value  
Cash
  $ 9,179,233     $ 9,179,233  
Trade accounts receivable
    2,386,365       2,386,365  
Trade accounts payable
    756,405       756,405  
Note receivable
    610,065       610,065  
Note payable
    258,784       258,784  
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value, all are considered Level 1 inputs:
Cash
The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments.
Trade Accounts Receivable
The carrying amount of trade receivables reflects net recovery value and approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.

Trade Accounts Payable
The carrying amount of trade payables approximates fair value because of their short outstanding terms.
Note Receivable
The carrying amount of the note receivable approximates fair value because the discount rate is fair market value.
Note Payable
The carrying amount of the note payable approximates fair value because the discount rate is fair market value.
13. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105-10, which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). ASC Topic 105-10 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Upon adoption of this guidance under ASC Topic 105-10, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. The guidance under ASC Topic 105-10 became effective for the Company as of September 30, 2009. References made to authoritative FASB guidance throughout this Report have been updated to the applicable Codification section.
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance now codified under ASC Topic 810-10. ASC Topic 810-10 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. The guidance under ASC Topic 810-10 became effective as of July 1, 2009 for the Company. In connection with the adoption of the guidance now codified under ASC Topic 810-10, the Company has reclassified amounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity and consolidated statements of cash flows related to noncontrolling interests.
In December 2007, the FASB issued guidance now codified under ASC Topic 805. ASC Topic 805 requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. Also, in April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified under ASC Topic 805-20, to address some of the application issues under ASC Topic 805. ASC Topic 805-20 deals with the initial recognition and measurement of an asset acquired or a liability assumed in a business combination that arises from a contingency (provided the fair value on the date of the acquisition of the related asset or liability can be determined). Both the guidance under ASC Topics 805 and 805-20 became effective as of July 1, 2009 for the Company. Accordingly, any business combination completed prior to July 1, 2009 was accounted for pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Business combinations completed subsequent to July 1, 2009 will be accounted for pursuant to ASC Topics 805 and 805-20. The impact that ASC Topics 805 and 805-20 will have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend upon the nature, terms and size of such business combinations, if any.
In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance now codified under ASC Topic 820. ASC Topic 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Under ASC Topic 820, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. It also clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. ASC Topic 820 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, ASC Topic 820 does not require any new fair value measurements.

(Information with respect to interim periods is unaudited)
The adoption of the guidance now codified under ASC Topic 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities which include goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets measured at fair value for impairment assessments, and nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities initially measured at fair value in a business combination, became effective for the Company on July 1, 2009. The adoption of the guidance under ASC Topic 820 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities did not have an impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified under ASC Topic 825-10, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements. ASC Topic 825-10 also amends the disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 270-10 to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. The guidance under ASC Topic 825-10 became effective for the Company during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 and we have included the required additional interim disclosures in the financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued guidance, now codified under ASC Topics 350-30 and 275-10, which 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 ASC Topic 350. The guidance under ASC Topics 350-30 and 275-10 became effective as of July 1, 2009 for the Company. The adoption of ASC Topics 350-30 and 275-10 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2009, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-05, Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value, which provides clarification that in circumstances where a quoted market price in an active market for an identical liability is not available, a reporting entity must measure fair value of the liability using one of the following techniques: (a) the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset, (b) quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as assets, or (c) another valuation technique, such as a present value technique or the amount that the reporting entity would pay to transfer the identical liability or would receive to enter into the identical liability that is consistent with the provisions of ASC Topic 820. The adoption of ASU No. 2009-05 on October 1, 2009 did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In October 2009, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement which amends revenue recognition guidance for arrangements with multiple deliverables. The new guidance eliminates the residual method of revenue recognition and allows the use of management’s best estimate of selling price for individual elements of an arrangement when vendor specific objective evidence, vendor objective evidence or third-party evidence is unavailable. Full retrospective application of the new guidance is optional. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In January 2010, the FASB issued an accounting pronouncement which amends fair value measurements and disclosures. The reporting entity must disclose information that enables the users of its financial statements to assess both (a) for assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in periods subsequent to internal recognition, the valuation techniques and inputs used to develop there measurement and (b) for recurring fair value measurement using significant unobservable inputs, the effect of the measurements on earnings for this period. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In February 2010, the FASB issued an accounting update that addresses subsequent events. Specifically, the requirements to disclose the date that the financial statements are issued potentially conflicts with some of the SEC guidelines. The update addresses both the interaction of the requirements of this topic with the SEC’s reporting requirements and the intended breadth of the reissuance disclosure provision related to subsequent events. The adoption of this update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of Misonix, Inc. and its subsidiaries, which we refer to as “Misonix”, “we”, “our”, and “us”, should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements included in Item 1. “Financial Statements” of this Report and Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 28, 2009, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”). Item 7 of the 2009 Form 10-K describes the application of our critical accounting policies, for which there have been no significant changes as of March 31, 2010.
Forward Looking Statements
This Report contains certain forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which are intended to be covered by the safe harbors created thereby. Although the Company believes that the assumptions underlying the forward looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and therefore, there can be no assurance that the forward looking statements contained in this Report will prove to be accurate. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from the results specifically discussed in the forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, the absence of anticipated contracts, higher than historical costs incurred in the performance of contracts or in conducting other activities, product mix in sales, results of joint ventures and investments in related entities, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and the outcome of legal proceedings as well as management business decisions.
Nine months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net sales: Net sales of the Company’s medical device products and laboratory and scientific products decreased $1,103,022 to $9,647,399 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $10,750,421 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This difference in net sales is due to a decrease in sales of medical device products of $779,108 to $7,687,570 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $8,466,678 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. This difference in net sales is also due to a decrease in laboratory and scientific products sales of $323,914 to $1,959,829 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $2,283,743 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease in sales of therapeutic medical device products was primarily attributable to the Company’s Neuroaspirator, European HIFU sales and the Company’s AutoSonix product, partially offset by an increase in sales of the Company’s bone scalpel product and Lysonix ultrasonic assisted liposuction product. Lower laboratory and scientific products sales are related to lower fume cabinet sales due to the overall economic environment.
Gross profit: Gross profit increased to 49.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from 42.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit for medical device products increased to 55.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from 45.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 25.8% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from 28.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit for medical device products was favorably impacted in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 predominately due to a favorable product mix of higher margin bone scalpel and ultrasonic assisted liposuction products.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $1,168,675 to $3,237,194 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 from $2,068,519 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. Laboratory and scientific products selling expenses increased $15,105. Selling expenses for medical device products increased $1,153,570, primarily due to higher headcount expenses related to an expanded sales force of approximately 12 people.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased $74,064 from $3,952,159 in the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to $3,878,095 in the nine months ended March 31, 2010 due to reduced costs at UKHIFU, Ltd. (“UKHIFU”) and cost reduction efforts such as headcount and insurance at Misonix.
Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $329,454 from $1,057,679 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 to $1,387,133 for the nine months ended March 31, 2010. Laboratory and scientific products research and development expenses increased $83,971 due to increased product support related to fume products. Research and development expenses for medical device products increased $245,483, primarily due to increased headcount and related expenses.
Other income (expense): Other income for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 was $1,017,698 as compared to $1,882,768 for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The decrease of $865,070 was primarily due to the receipt in the first quarter of fiscal year 2009 of $1,516,866 from USHIFU, LLC (“USHIFU”) pursuant to the Focus Surgery, Inc. (“Focus”) transaction between the Company and USHIFU. This payment consisted of $837,500 for the 2,500 shares of Series M Preferred Stock of Focus owned by the Company and fifty (50%) percent of the outstanding principal and accrued interest of loans previously made by the Company to Focus. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the remaining 50% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the loan which resulted in a gain of $679,336 that was recorded in the third quarter.
Income taxes: The effective tax rate was 40% for the nine months ended March 31, 2010 as compared to an effective tax rate of 72.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009. The 40% is predicated on the impact of permanent differences between accounting and taxable income for non-cash compensation and entertainment expenses. The 72.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2009 was the result of the reversal of a valuation allowance that expired in March 2009 for $250,000.
Three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.
Net sales: Net sales of the Company’s medical device products and laboratory and scientific products increased $804,656 to $3,529,603 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $2,724,947 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This difference in net sales is due to an increase in sales of medical device products of $903,712 to $2,851,439 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $1,947,727 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. This difference in net sales is also due to a decrease in laboratory and scientific products sales of $99,056 to $678,164 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $777,220 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase in therapeutic medical device products was primarily attributable to sales of the Company’s bone scalpel, Neuroaspirator, AutoSonix, and the Lysonix ultrasonic assisted liposuction products, partially offset by lower European HIFU and SonicOne revenue. The decrease in laboratory and scientific products sales is due to lower fume cabinet sales due to the overall economic environment.
Gross profit: Gross profit increased to 54.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 45.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit for medical device products increased to 60.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 49.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit for laboratory and scientific products decreased to 29.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from 35.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Gross profit for medical device products was favorably impacted in the three months ended March 31, 2010 predominately due to a favorable product mix of higher margin bone scalpel products. The decrease in gross profit percentage in the March 2010 period for laboratory and scientific products is due to a reduction in revenues compared with fixed factory overhead costs.
Selling expenses: Selling expenses increased $580,759 to $1,204,150 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 from $623,391 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Laboratory and scientific products selling expenses decreased $487. Selling expenses for medical device products increased $581,246, primarily due to higher headcount expenses related to an expanded sales force of approximately 12 people.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses decreased $139,902 from $1,179,425 in the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $1,039,523 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 due to lower bad debt, bank fees, the expiration of the Company’s loan agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (“Wells Fargo”), and reduced fees for our investor relations programs.
Research and development expenses: Research and development expenses increased $81,743 from $359,350 for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to $441,093 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. Laboratory and scientific products research and development expenses increased $13,621 due to increased product support related to fume products. Research and development expenses for medical device products increased $68,122, primarily due to increased headcount and related expenses.
Other income (expense): Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was $815,534 as compared to $119,617 for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The increase of $695,917 is related to the receipt of the remaining 50% of the Focus note. During the three months ended March 31, 2010 the remaining 50% of the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the loan resulted in a gain of $679,336 that was recorded in the third quarter.
Income taxes: The effective tax rate was 73% for the three months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to an effective tax rate of 72.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The 73% is predicated on the assumption of an effective tax rate of approximately 40% based upon updated assumptions in the second quarter of fiscal 2010 plus the impact of permanent differences between accounting and taxable income. The 72.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was the result of the reversal of a valuation allowance that expired in March 2009 for $250,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We regularly review our cash funding requirements and attempt to meet those requirements through a combination of cash on hand, cash provided by operations, available borrowings under bank lines of credit and possible future public or private debt and/or equity offerings. At times, we evaluate possible acquisitions of, or investments in, businesses that are complementary to ours, which may require the use of cash. We believe that our cash, other liquid assets and access to equity capital markets, taken together, provide adequate resources to fund ongoing operating expenditures. In the event that they do not, we may require additional funds in the future to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes and may seek to raise such additional funds through the sale of public or private equity and/or debt financings, divestiture of current business lines as well as from other sources. No assurance can be given that additional financing will be available in the future or that if available, such financing will be obtainable on favorable terms when required.
Working capital at March 31, 2010 and June 30, 2009 was $15,255,000 and $7,768,000, respectively. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in operations totaled $3,096,000 predominately due to a $1,600,000 loss from continuing operations and the adjustment for deferred income taxes. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in investing activities totaled $245,000. For the nine months ended March 31, 2010, cash used in financing activities was $2,646,000 predominately due to the payoff of the credit facility with Wells Fargo.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to the Company.

New Accounting Pronouncements
We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See note 13 to our consolidated financial statements included herein.
Item 3. 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 Misonix, Ltd. and UKHIFU.
Interest Rate Risk:
The Company earns interest on cash balances and pays interest on debt incurred. In light of the Company’s existing cash, results of operations, and projected borrowing requirements, the Company does not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on its consolidated financial position.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decision regarding required disclosures. The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2010 and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting:
There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
