Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2010 (“2010 Annual Report”). A summary of the Company’s significant Accounting policies is identified in Note 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2010 Annual Report. There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies subsequent to June 30, 2010.
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 Rule pursuant to the requirements of the US Securities and Exchange Committee. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles 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. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the entire year.
The consolidated financial statements of MISONIX, INC. (“Misonix” or the “Company”) include the accounts of Misonix and its 100% owned subsidiaries, Misonix Limited and Hearing Innovations, Inc. (“Hearing Innovations”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
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. Misonix’s products are sold worldwide. In October 1996, the Company entered into licensing agreements to further develop one of its medical devices.
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, approximately 27% and 19%, respectively of the Company’s net sales were to foreign markets. Sales by the Company in other major industrial countries are made primarily through distributors.
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.
Discontinued Operations
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. As of September 30, 2010, the Company has received the first installment. 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) was 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 not be recognized in determining the current gain or loss on the sale of Labcaire until the commission is paid. As of September 30, 2010, there were no commissions paid. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded an after tax loss on the sale of Labcaire of $376,461. Results of Labcaire operations have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. On July 19, 2010, the Company received a Dispute Notice from PuriCore PLC (“PuriCore”) with respect to the sale and purchase of shares of Labcaire which was completed on August 4, 2009. PuriCore alleges that Misonix breached certain representations and warranties that could result in a reduction to the purchase price of approximately £1.6 million or approximately $2.5 million. PuriCore amended its claim to £2.3 million or approximately $3.5 million. The Company believes the notice is without merit and will vigorously defend any claim instituted by PuriCore. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company may not have to pay some amount to resolve PuriCore’s claims. The

Company and PuriCore have agreed upon an amount for commissions applicable to the first year’s sales of £190,000 or approximately $285,000. This amount was due to be paid to Misonix on October 30, 2010. To date, the Company has not received such amount. Due to the uncertainty surrounding collectability of the commission as a result of the Dispute Notice, the Company has not recognized this amount in the consolidated financial statements.
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, Inc. (“Medical Imaging”) 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 paid $257,029 to Medical Imaging for the net difference of adjustments of working capital and the effect of income taxes. These amounts were reflected in discontinued operations in the June 30, 2010 annual 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. The net assets and results of Sonora operations have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented.
On May 28, 2010, Misonix announced the sale to USHIFU, LLC (“USHIFU”) of all of its rights to the High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (“HIFU”) technology together with other HIFU-related assets. In consideration for the sale, Misonix will receive up to approximately $5.8 million, paid out of an earn-out of 7% of gross revenues received by USHIFU related to the businesses being sold, up to the time we have received the first $3 million, and thereafter 5% of gross revenues up to the $5.8 million. Misonix will also be paid for 3 units in inventory of new Sonablate®500 machines. The obligation to pay for such machines is secured by a note due December 31, 2010. At the closing of such transaction, USHIFU paid Misonix for inventory associated with manufacturing the Sonablate500 and reimbursed Misonix for certain monies expended in connection with the HIFU Registry. The net assets and results of HIFU operations have been reported as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. Misonix retained all of its rights associated with the HIFU-related intellectual property and development assets recently purchased from ProRhythm, Inc. This intellectual property involves the development of new transducers and lenses to be used in the treatment of tissue using HIFU. This technology may be applied on a worldwide basis to a variety of organs not limited to kidney, liver, or breast tissue treatment.
Unless otherwise specified, disclosures in the notes relate solely to Company’s continuing 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 three months ended  
    September 30,  
    2010     2009  
Basic shares
    7,001,369       7,001,369  
Dilutive effect of stock options
           
 
           
Diluted shares
    7,001,369       7,001,369  
 
           
Diluted EPS for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 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 to purchase 2,010,560 and 1,936,708 shares for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.

Total comprehensive loss was $1,017,846 for three months ended September 30, 2010 and $867,480 for the three months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. There are no components of comprehensive loss other than net loss for all periods presented.
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 September 30, 2010 and 2009, the Company granted options to purchase 219,500 and 148,300 shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three month period ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $60,000 and $33,000, 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 September 30, 2010, there was approximately $710,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock-based compensation arrangements to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.1 years.

There was no cash received from the exercise of stock options for three month periods ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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 three months  
    ended  
    September 30,  
    2010     2009  
Risk-free interest rate
    3.9 %     3.1 %
Expected option life in years
    6.5       6.5  
Expected stock price volatility
    78.3 %     81.9 %
Expected dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
Weighted-average fair value of options granted
  $ 1.49     $ 2.02  
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 risk free rate is based upon the U.S. Treasury yield in effect at the time of the grant. 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 three months ended September 30, 2010 were as follows:
                                 
    Options  
                    Weighted

5. Focus Surgery, Inc.
On March 3, 2008, the Company, 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. Payment was recognized as a gain.
6. Income Taxes
There are no federal, state or foreign audits in process as of September 30, 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 Limited and UKHIFU file tax returns in England. The England Inland Revenue Service has never examined these tax returns.
As of September 30, 2010 and June 30, 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 will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences, and has a full valuation allowance on deferred tax assets.
7. Inventories
Inventories are summarized as follows:
                 
    September 30,     June 30,  
    2010     2010

9. Commitments and Contingencies
On July 19, 2010, the Company received a Dispute Notice from PuriCore with respect to the sale and purchase of shares of Labcaire which was completed on August 4, 2009. PuriCore alleges that Misonix breached certain representations and warranties that could result in a reduction to the purchase price of approximately £1.6 million or approximately $2.5 million. PuriCore amended its claim to £2.3 million or approximately $3.5 million. The Company believes the notice is without merit and will vigorously defend any claim instituted by PuriCore. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company may not have to pay some amount to resolve PuriCore’s claims. The Company and PuriCore have agreed upon an amount for commissions applicable to the first year’s sales of £190,000 or approximately $285,000. This amount was due to be paid to Misonix on October 30, 2010. To date, the Company has not received such amount. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the collectability of the commissions as a result of the Dispute Notice, the Company has not recognized this amount in the consolidated financial statements.
10. Business Segments
The Company operates in two business segments which are organized by product types: laboratory and scientific products and medical devices. Laboratory and scientific products include the AuraTM ductless fume enclosure and forensic equipment primarily used in law enforcement. Medical device products include the AutoSonix™ 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 surgery market). The Company evaluates the performance of the segments based upon income from operations less general and administrative expenses and litigation (recovery) settlement expenses, which are maintained at the corporate headquarters (corporate). The Company does not allocate assets by segment as such information is not provided to the chief decision maker. Summarized financial information for each of the segments for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

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 September 30, 2010:
                 
September 30, 2010   Carrying Amount     Fair Value  
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 9,413,437     $ 9,413,437  
Trade accounts receivable
    1,920,689       1,920,689  
Trade accounts payable
    832,940       832,940  
Note receivable
    920,145       920,145  
Note payable
    84,491       84,491  
                 
June 30, 2010   Carrying Amount     Fair Value  
Cash and cash equivalents
  $ 9,900,605     $ 9,900,605  
Trade accounts receivable
    2,335,653       2,335,653  
Trade accounts payable
    888,654       888,654  
Note receivable
    1,075,105       1,075,105  
Note payable
    177,679       177,679  
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.
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.
Non-financial assets and liabilities
Certain non-financial assets and liabilities, principally goodwill, are measured at fair value in a non-recurring basis; that is the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when evidence of impairment exists. At September 30, 2010 and for the three months then ended, no fair value adjustments or material fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.
13. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired in connection with the Company’s acquisitions of assets of Fibra Sonics, Inc.
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized. 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. 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 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 2010. There were no indicators that the recorded goodwill was impaired as of September 30, 2010 which required further testing.
The cost of acquiring or processing patents 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 $512,848 and $517,735 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Accumulated amortization totaled $370,699 and $355,678 at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010, respectively. Amortization expense for the three month and twelve month periods ending September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was approximately $15,000 and $71,000, respectively.
The following is a schedule of estimated future amortization expense as of September 30, 2010:
         
2011
  $ 49,000  
2012
    57,000  
2013
    52,000  
2014
    49,000  
2015
    46,000  
Thereafter
    260,000

14. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (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 a 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 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 their 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 consolidated financial statements.
In April 2010, the FASB issued guidance to clarify that an employee share-based payment award that has an exercise price denominated in the currency of the market in which a substantial portion of the entity’s equity shares trades should not be considered to contain a condition that is not a market, performance, or service condition. Therefore, an entity should not classify such an award as a liability if it otherwise qualifies as equity. The amended guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The Company expects to adopt the amended guidance on January 1, 2011.
In July 2010, the FASB issued guidance that will enhance future disclosure about the credit quality of a creditor’s financing receivables and the adequacy of its allowance for credit losses. The amended guidance will be effective beginning with the first quarterly or annual reporting period ending on or after December 15, 2010. The amended guidance is effective for activity during a reporting period beginning with the first quarterly or annual period beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
15. Subsequent Event
On October 7, 2010, the Company, Fibra-Sonics (NY) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“F-S”), and Aesculap, Inc. (“Aesculap”) entered into a Termination, Amendment and Buy-Back Agreement to Distributor Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Termination Agreement, the parties agreed to terminate, as of October 15, 2010 (the “Termination Date”), (i) Misonix’s remaining obligations under the Distributor Agreement dated November 1999 between Aesculap and F-S, as amended (the “Distributor Agreement”), and (ii) Aesculap’s rights to sell procedure packs (the “Sale Rights”) to the Sonastar Customers (as defined below). On the Termination Date, in consideration of the purchase and sale of (i) Aesculap’s current service contracts (“Sonastar Contracts”) for the products (the “Products”) that are the subject of the Distributor Agreement, customer list and customers currently evaluating the Products all with respect to the sale and servicing of the Products (the “Customer List”) and (ii) the Sale Rights, on October 15, 2010, Misonix paid Aesculap $800,000. Misonix will assume all rights, responsibilities and obligations pursuant to and under the (i) Sonastar Contracts and Customer List and (ii) the Sale Rights, including, without limitation, the sale of accessory Products and servicing and training of the Products to the customers with Sonastar Contracts (the “Sonastar Customers”). Misonix also agreed to repurchase from Aesculap the current inventory of (i) new Products held by Aesculap at the price Aesculap paid for such Products and (ii) used Products held by Aesculap for demonstration and/or loaner purposes at the prices equal to Aesculap’s book-value as of July 31, 2010 for such Products. The purchase price for such current inventory will not exceed $525,000 and is payable in four quarterly installments beginning on December 31, 2010. Aesculap also agreed to certain non-competition and non-solicitation restrictions for an eighteen (18) month period.

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 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, 2010, for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K”). Item 7 of the 2010 Form 10-K describes the application of our critical accounting policies, for which there have been no significant changes as of September 30, 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.
Three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Net sales: Net sales of the Company’s medical device products and laboratory and scientific products increased $626,971 to $3,257,988 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2,631,017 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The change in net sales is due to an increase in sales of medical device products of $688,984 to $2,692,268 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $2,003,284 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The change in net sales is partially offset by a decrease in laboratory and scientific products sales of $62,013 to $565,720 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 from $627,733 for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The increase in therapeutic medical device products was primarily attributable to sales of the Company’s BoneScalpel™, Neuroaspirator, AutoSonix and SonicOne® products. The decrease in laboratory and scientific products sales is primarily due to lower forensic market sales due to the overall state and municipal economic environment.

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 September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 was $13,703,000 and $14,460,000, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cash used in operations totaled $89,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cash used in investing activities totaled $27,000. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, cash used in financing activities was $97,000 predominately due to the pay down of the insurance note payable.

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.
Other

New Accounting Pronouncements
We are required to adopt certain new accounting pronouncements. See note 14 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.
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.
