PART I, Item 2
Repro-Med Systems, Inc. And Subsidiary
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for use with 10-QSB for the Quarter Ended May 31, 1998
Capital Resources and Liquidity
Cash and equivalents on a consolidated basis were $124,949 at May 31, 1998,
as compared to $110,995 at May 31, 1997. Cash and equivalents includes cash
of the Company's subsidiary, Gamogen, Inc., of $19,540 at May 31, 1998, and
$1,932 at May 31, 1997.
Net working capital on a consolidated basis at May 31, 1998 was $1,057,152,
as compared to $1,076,801 at February 28, 1998 and $1,297,806 at May 31,
1997. Net working capital included Gamogen, Inc. net working capital of
$479,349 at May 31, 1998, $524,059 at February 28, 1998 and $138,996 at May
31, 1997.
In the quarter ended May 31, 1998, the Company's liquidity declined
slightly as reflected in the three month decrease in its net working
capital of $19,649, or 2%, versus the balance at February 28, 1998 of
$1,076,801. The three month decrease in net working capital of $19,149
resulted from $25,152 in scheduled repayments of long-term debt and $26,863
in purchases of production tooling for the Freedom60 Syringe Infusion
System and the OTC vacuum device (see comments below), offset in part by
other items including the Company's net income for the three months ended
May 31, 1998 of $13,796.
Versus the balance at May 31, 1997 the Company's net working capital
decreased $240,654 primarily due to long-term debt repayment of $46,143 and
increases in inventory for new products, purchase of production tooling for
new products, and the Company's operating loss for the year ended February
1998.
The Company has developed a non-electric, portable I.V. delivery system,
trade-named the Freedom60 Syringe Infusion System ("Freedom60 System")
which employs a unique pump, standard syringes, and proprietary disposable
tubing resulting in a very low cost per infusion. The Company has secured
the necessary FDA approvals on the Freedom60 System and completed product
engineering, the purchase of production tooling and component parts
inventory, and long-term supply agreements for the syringe and disposable
tubing. The Company initiated production of the Freedom60 System in April
1997. In May 1997 the Company initiated advertising in US infusion medical
journals and promotion at various US and international trade expositions.
Effective July 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with a large
organization of independent US medical equipment and supply dealers for the
exclusive distribution rights for the Freedom60 System in certain US
medical markets, including hospitals, nursing homes, and home infusion
service providers. No minimum purchase commitments were required under this
agreement, however, the agreement included, as a condition to maintaining
these exclusive distribution rights, minimum dealer purchase volumes of
infusion pumps and disposable syringe/tubing sets, beginning July 1997. Due
to low dealer purchase volumes, effective May 11, 1998 Repro-Med
terminated this exclusive distribution agreement. Repro-Med has retained
certain of these dealers in certain regions of the US and is seeking
alternative distribution in other areas. There can be no guarantee that
the dealers retained or new dealers will be successful in marketing and
selling of the Freedom60 Syringe I.V. Infusion System. In April 1998, the
Company hired and appointed a sales manager experienced in the infusion
market to direct and support its US distribution and sales of its infusion
products. The Company is exploring various other options for marketing and
distribution of the Freedom60 Syringe Infusion System but has not yet
finalized its plans.
There can be no guarantee, however, that the Company will be successful in
establishing
distribution of the Syringe I.V. Infusion System and that if distribution
is established that the Company will be successful in marketing and selling
of the device.
In the fiscal year ended February 28, 1998, the Company developed a medical
device for an OEM customer, Mission Pharmacal ("Mission"), a San Antonio
based manufacturer of pharmaceuticals and medical devices, based on the
Company's suction technology. The Company's agreement with Mission includes
advance payments to help defer Company expenditures for engineering and
production tooling costs related to the development of the medical suction
device. As of May 31, 1998 the Company has received advance payments
totaling $93,030. Under the Company's agreement with Mission, the Company
will manufacture and sell this medical suction device to Mission. The
Company initiated production of the OEM medical suction device in September
1997 and shipment of this product to its customer in November 1997. Total
sales in the fiscal year ended February 1998 of the OEM medical suction
device were $122,511. Total sales in the three month period ended May 31,
1998 of the OEM medical suction device were $242,000. The OEM medical
suction device sold to Mission is purchased for distribution in the
impotence vacuum device market.
In the past year, impotence vacuum devices have seen increased competition
from new pharmaceutical products, specifically a urethral suppository trade
named Muse, introduced in May 1997, and an orally administered pill trade
named Viagra, introduced in March 1998. Muse, manufactured and sold by
Vivus, Inc, was highly successful in 1997. Since its introduction in March
1998, Viagra has supplanted Muse, accounting for an estimated 95% of newly
issued prescriptions for impotence medications. It is too early to predict
the impact of Viagra on the impotence vacuum device market. While Viagra
has at least temporarily substantially reduced sales of the impotence
vacuum devices, it has significantly increased public awareness of
impotence problems in general. Depending on Viagra's clinical effectiveness
and reimbursement policies adopted by healthcare insurers, the introduction
of Viagra may on a longer term basis, stimulate, or at least not interfere
with the market for the Company's OEM impotence vacuum devices.
Due to market conditions including the introduction of Muse and Viagra,
Mission, as of May 1998, had significant inventory of the OEM vacuum
erection device on hand. As a result, Mission has negotiated with the
Company to lower Mission purchases of this product through February 1999.
Mission has also requested, and Repro-Med has agreed to bill and
temporarily hold, in its Chester warehouse, Mission monthly product
purchases. Based on the revised purchase quantities negotiated with
Mission, which have taken into effect the anticipated impact of Viagra and
Mission's current high inventory position of this product, and contingent
on the successful marketing of the device by Mission, the Company
anticipates revenue of approximately $550,000 from the sale of this device
in the fiscal year ended February 1999, an increase of approximately
$427,000 versus the current fiscal year. There can be no guarantee,
however, that Mission will be successful in marketing of the device or that
sales of vacuum erection devices can recover from the impact of Viagra. The
Mission OEM vacuum erection device may compete with the Company's other OEM
products, but in management's opinion will not directly reduce sales of
other OEM products.
In February 1998, the Company initiated the development of a vacuum
erection device and constriction ring devices for vacuum treatment of
impotence. These devices will be targeted at both impotent men and men
seeking to enhance natural or induced erections and sexual performance.
According to published reports, it is estimated that in the United States
there are 30 million men who suffer impotence with approximately 3 million
currently treated by approved prescription treatments, including vacuum
therapy. The Company's devices will offer convenient, highly effective
treatments for impotence and for individuals seeking sexual improvement
from natural or induced erections, and will be sold on an OTC basis. The
Company has initiated the purchase of production tooling for these devices
and anticipates initial
production of these devices by July 1998. In June 1998 the Company received
approval of its 510(k) application to the FDA which allows the Company to
market these devices, including over-the-counter sale ("OTC"). The Company
is in the process of developing distribution for these devices, but has not
finalized its plans.
In October 1997, the Company submitted to the FDA a 510(k) application to
market a reusable resuscitator ("resuscitator"). This 510(k) application
was approved by the FDA in June 1998. This product, developed by a
Taiwanese medical device and component supplier, will be marketed primarily
in the US emergency medical (ambulance) and homecare marketplace and in
certain foreign countries. Tradenamed the Plus resuscitator, this
respiratory device combines premium features in a low cost unit. The Plus
resuscitator is used to replace or assist normal breathing in patients
suffering from respiratory arrest or, especially in the home, as a backup
for ventilator assisted patients. The reusable resuscitator may be sold
through many of the same distributors currently marketing the Company's Res-
Q-Vac suction system. The Company is in the process of developing
distribution for this devices, but has not finalized its plans.
On July 10, 1993 Gamogen acquired the rights to an Oral Treatment for Male
Impotence developed by Dr. Zorgniotti. On April 12, 1994 the Board of
Directors approved and on April 14, 1994 Gamogen signed with Zonagen, a
small US based biotechnology company, an agreement under which Zonagen
acquired all rights to Gamogen's Oral Treatment for Male Impotence
("Impotence Agreement"). In exchange for the above rights Gamogen received
from Zonagen $100,000 in cash and, subject to certain FDA approvals and
Gamogen's agreement not to compete, future payments of $200,000 in
restricted common stock of Zonagen, and royalties on Zonagen's future sales
of the Oral Treatment.
In the year ended February 1995 Gamogen recorded income from the Impotence
Agreement of $47,107 ($100,000 in licensing payments made by Zonagen less
related expenses of $52,893). In the year ended February 1996 no payments
were received by Gamogen under the Impotence Agreement.
On May 28, 1996 a stock payment was received by Gamogen in the form of
19,512 restricted common stock shares of Zonagen in accordance with certain
non-compete terms of the Impotence Agreement. On June 20, 1996 Gamogen sold
the 19,512 restricted shares to a small group of private investors for
$87,800, approximately 50% of the then NASDAQ market price for Zonagen,
Inc. non-restricted common stock.
On January 24, 1997 the Board of Directors approved and signed with Zonagen
a conditional amendment to the Impotence Agreement granting Zonagen the
right ("Option") to amend the Impotence Agreement eliminating the
following: 1) Gamogen's rights to royalties on Zonagen's future sales of
the Oral Treatment; 2) Gamogen's rights to market the Oral Treatment in
countries where Zonagen does not timely obtain regulatory approval for and
commence marketing of the Oral Treatment.
The Option was conditioned on the payment to Gamogen the amount of $750,000
("Option Price") if the Option were exercised by January 24, 1998 less any
Maintenance Payments (see below) received by Gamogen. The Option included
increases in the Option Price for later exercise of the Option through
January 24, 2000.
Under the conditional amendment Zonagen was granted the option, provided
however, that Zonagen make the following payments ("Maintenance Payments")
in cash to Gamogen: $75,000 upon the execution of the conditional amendment
and $75,000 on each July 24 and January 24 which occurs after the execution
of the conditional amendment and before Zonagen's exercise of the Option.
On January 24, 1997 Gamogen received from Zonagen the initial Maintenance
Payment of $75,000 which Gamogen recorded as licensing income. In July 1997
Gamogen received a second maintenance payment of $75,000 under the
conditional amendment.
In August 1997 Gamogen negotiated with Zonagen for revision to the
Conditional Amendment Number 1 of The Assignment Agreement. In September
1997 the Board of Directors approved and signed with Zonagen a conditional
amendment, Amendment Number 2 to the Assignment Agreement,
establishing an option price of $708,000 if the option were exercised on or
before September 30, 1997. On September 30, 1997 Gamogen received payment
from Zonagen for $558,000 which resulted from the sale of the impotence
oral treatment for $708,000 reduced by credits for maintenance payments
previously received of $150,000. As a result of this payment Zonagen has
exercised the Option and Gamogen has effectively sold its interest in this
product and is not entitled to further payments under the Assignment
Agreement and its amendments.
Beyond the above items, the Company's ability to increase its revenue and
develop other new products is primarily based on capital it derives from
current operations.
On April 18, 1995 Repro-Med executed a formal Contract Of Sale with Key
Bank of New York ("Key Bank") on a facility in Chester, NY ("Chester
facility") for the purpose of housing all operations of Repro-Med, Gamogen,
and Gyneco. The purchase was completed on April 30, 1996. The price for the
facility was $1,030,000. The purchase of the Chester facility was financed
in part by a $900,000 mortgage loan from Key Bank. The mortgage is a 10
year loan with a 20 year amortization rate and interest at a rate of 8.82%
for years 1-5 and for years 6-10 the Key Bank base rate plus 0.5. Effective
December 1997 the Company entered into an interest-swap agreement with Key
Bank which reduced the effective interest rate on the mortgage to a fixed
rate of 8.46% through April 2006. The annual mortgage payment for the
fiscal year ended February 1999 including principal and estimated interest
of $72,000, is approximately $106,500, payable in monthly installments. For
the three months ended May 31, 1998 a total of $17,194 in interest expense
on the mortgage was recorded. Total mortgage principal payments for the
three months ended May 31, 1998 were $6,941. As of February 28, 1998 a
total of $142,534 in mortgage interest was recorded. Total principal
payments made as of February 28, 1998 were $28,674. A portion of the
Chester facility is leased to Key Bank on a net/net/net rent basis for 20
years at annual rent of $86,100 for years 1 through 10 and $99,990 for
years 11 through 20. As of February 28, 1998 a total of $158,089 in rent,
exclusive of property tax rent allocations have been paid by Key Bank. For
the three months ended May 31, 1998 a total of $21,525 in rent, exclusive
of property tax rent allocations have been paid by Key Bank. The lease
contract required an $86,100 security deposit from Key Bank and an
additional rent allocation to Key Bank of 35% of all property tax payments.
Key Bank intends to maintain local branch operations in the leased portion
of the building. The new facility has improved Repro-Med and Gyneco
manufacturing efficiencies and provided additional space for expansion of
operations. The total cash expenditure in the fiscal year ended February
1996 for this real estate purchase was $78,736, which included a $55,000
deposit. The total cash expenditure, net of the mortgage proceeds of
$900,000, in the fiscal year ended February 1997 for this real estate
purchase and certain capital improvements, and other related legal and
engineering costs was $227,643.
In a transaction related to the purchase of the Chester facility on April
30, 1996, the Company secured from Key Bank of New York a line of credit of
$300,000. On December 1, 1997, the Company secured from Key Bank of New
York a $300,000 five-year term loan and a new line of credit of $500,000.
At February 28, 1998 the Company had an outstanding balance of $291,606 on
the 5-year term loan and $360,000 on the line of credit. At May 31, 1998,
the Company had an outstanding balance of $279,015 on the 5-year term loan
and $480,000 on the line of credit. The proceeds of the term-loan were used
to pay $250,000 of the outstanding balance of the previous line of credit
of $260,000. The interest rate on the term loan is fixed at an annual rate
of 8.43%. Principal payments on the term loan are monthly beginning January
1, 1998 at a rate of $4,197 per month, plus accrued interest to date. The
interest rate on the line of credit is prime rate less one-quarter of one
percent (currently 8.25% per annum).
The Company's mortgage and bank loans include negative covenants and
cessation of advances and related events of default and financial
covenants, certain of which are listed below.

The Osbon Medical Systems division ("Osbon" ) of Imagyn Medical
Inc.("Imagyn"), formerly Urohealth Systems, Inc., OEM product purchases
represented 21% of the Company's total sales for the current fiscal year,
ending February 1998. For the prior fiscal year the Osbon corporation's OEM
product purchases represented 61% of the Company's total sales.
Osbon markets the Company's OEM products in the impotence vacuum device
market. Management believes that Osbon presently controls a substantial
portion of the impotence vacuum device market. Other products have recently
been developed for Osbon which compete with the Company's current OEM
products and are anticipated to be manufactured and marketed directly by
Osbon. These new products were introduced by Osbon in direct competition to
the Company's OEM products in June 1996 and are sold under the trade name
"Esteem" ("Esteem products"). As a result the Company has seen a decline in
sales of its OEM products to Osbon. Sales of OEM products to Osbon for the
fiscal year ended February 1997 were $1,468,715, a decline of $676,008, or
32%, from the previous fiscal year. For the fiscal year ended February
1998, sales to Osbon declined to $459,667. The sharp decline in sales to
Osbon in the current year was due to three factors: 1) introduction of the
Esteem products in fiscal 1997, 2) overstocking by Osbon of the OEM
products in fiscal 1997 which impacted sales in the first quarter of fiscal
1998, and 3) an overall decline in Osbon sales in the impotence vacuum
device market in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1998. Osbon
reported a decline of over 30% in its total sales of all vacuum devices in
the final two calendar quarters of 1997. As a result Repro-Med did not sell
any OEM products to Osbon from November 1997 through March 1998. The
overall decline in Osbon sales in the impotence vacuum device market in the
third and fourth quarters of fiscal 1998 was due to a decrease in demand
for vacuum devices due to increased competition from new pharmaceutical
products, specifically a urethral suppository tradenamed Muse introduced in
May 1997 and an orally administered pill tradenamed Viagra, introduced in
March 1998. Muse, manufactured and sold by Vivus, Inc, was highly
successful in 1997. Since its introduction in March 1998, Viagra has
supplanted Muse, accounting for an estimated 95% of newly issued
prescriptions for impotence medications. Viagra is manufactured and sold by
Pfizer, Inc. It is too early to predict the impact of Viagra on the
impotence vacuum device market. While Viagra has at least temporarily
substantially reduced sales of the impotence vacuum devices, it has
significantly increased public awareness of impotence problems in general.
Depending on Viagra's clinical effectiveness and reimbursement policies
adopted by healthcare insurers, the introduction of
Viagra may on a longer term basis, stimulate, or at least not interfere
with the market for the Company's OEM impotence vacuum devices. Sales of
OEM products to Osbon in the three month period ended May 31, 1998 were
$103,008, or 15% of total Company sales. Repro-Med sales of OEM products to
Osbon in the quarter ended May 31, 1997 were $111,888, or 34% of sales.
Based on orders to-date and discussions with Osbon concerning anticipated
purchases, and considering the reduced level of inventory held at Osbon,
management estimates that sales to Osbon in the fiscal year ended February
1998 may be approximately 30% higher as compared to fiscal 1998. However,
due to Osbon's continuing and projected significant operating losses, high
debt level, and unfavorable credit rating, and announcements by Imagyn
concerning its financial condition and liquidity, Repro-Med management is
cautious concerning Osbon and Imagyn's financial viability.
At February 28, 1998, the Company's account receivable from Osbon were
$80,843. This account receivable was for shipments made to Osbon in
December 1997. Partial payments on this account receivable of $80,843 were
made by Osbon in March and April 1998 with final payment made on May 18,
1998. As of May 31, 1998 account receivable from Osbon are $77,008. The May
31, 1998 account receivable was for shipments totaling $103,008 made to
Osbon in April and May 1998. In May 1998 partial payment on these shipments
of $26,000 was received reducing the balance owed to $77,008. Based on
Osbon's recent payment history, discussions with Osbon concerning ongoing
sales by Osbon of the OEM products, and considering recent announcements by
Imagyn concerning its liquidity and financing, the Company anticipates that
the receivable balance at May 31, 1998 of $77,008 will be paid in full and
has not established a bad debt reserve for this receivable.
During the twelve month period ended March 1996, the Company, acting in
accordance with its written agreement with Osbon for the manufacture by
Repro-Med of the Esteem products ("Esteem Agreement"), cooperated in and
provided extensive work in testing, validation, design analysis and problem
solving, prototyping and generating and providing information concerning
performance and improvements to the Esteem products design. In furtherance
of the Esteem Agreement Repro-Med provided Osbon related information
concerning Repro-Med's proprietary product design, materials, and
manufacturing processes. Management believes that Repro-Med's assistance
was vital to Osbon's attempts to complete the design and facilitate the
timely manufacture of the Esteem products. Throughout this time period the
Company advised Osbon of numerous engineering design faults related to the
manufacturability, quality, and customer use of the Esteem products which
Repro-Med had discovered through its testing and validation work on the
Esteem products. These faults were primarily the result of either design
specifications provided Osbon by its contract engineers or other items
initiated by Osbon. A number of these faults were significant and resulted
in delays throughout the program. In March 1996 the Company forthrightly
advised Osbon that, based on the Company's current knowledge of the status
of the design, that confirmation of certain production scheduling requested
by Osbon was unrealistic and could not reasonably be achieved, namely the
production and delivery of 7,000 Esteem products by May 15, 1996. In April
1996 Osbon advised that it was withdrawing its commitment to Repro-Med for
manufacture of the Esteem products and had secured other options for
manufacture of these products. No prior notice was provided the Company by
Osbon. Despite repeated requests to Osbon the Company has not received an
explanation for this action. The Company has advised Osbon that Repro-Med
is due compensation for its work to-date on the Esteem products and for use
of its proprietary design and manufacturing information. The Company has
also advised Osbon that Repro-Med is
available to initiate the manufacture the Esteem products in accordance
with its
written agreement. The Company intends to seek to resolve these matters on
an amicable basis with Osbon. To date no resolution has been agreed to,
Osbon remains a significant and important customer of Repro-Med.
Management believes that the Company's revenues will increase due to growth
in sales of the Res-Q-Vac and Syringe I.V. Infusion System, market
introduction of its three new products (OTC vacuum device, OTC constriction
rings and the reusable resuscitator) and also, contingent on the effect of
Viagra, Muse, and other new products on the impotence vacuum device market,
increased sales of OEM products to Osbon and Mission. Management believes
that the Company can expand, albeit at a limited pace, on the basis of
currently available funds which include working capital of $1,057,152 and
cash flow derived from operations. Management anticipates that the
Company's total cash position will continue to decline during fiscal 1999,
due primarily to increases in inventory and accounts receivable from
increasing sales, new product related spending, and scheduled long-term
debt repayment of approximately $105,000. Due primarily to the significant
decline in sales of OEM products to Osbon the Company recorded a large
operating loss in the fiscal year ended February 1998. The operating loss
in the fiscal year ended February 1998 was increased as the Company
maintained staff and incurred added expenses and capital spending to
support anticipated sales of new products.
The large operating loss and capital spending for new products in the
fiscal year ended February 1998 generated a significant negative cashflow.
Additionally a significant increase in inventory, due primarily to the
Company's new Freedom60 I.V. and Mission OEM vacuum device, resulted in
increased borrowing under the Company's bank line of credit. These items
have severely reduced the Company's liquidity and available cash to expand
operations and improve profitability. The Company recorded a profit of
$13,796 in the quarter ended May 31, 1998 and, due to lower sales to
Mission (see above), anticipates a loss of approximately $50,000 in the
quarter ended August 1998. This loss, albeit at a significantly lower level
than in fiscal 1998, is due in part to the Company maintaining staff and
expense spending to support anticipated sales of its new products. The
Company has taken actions to reduce expenses and effected certain staff
reductions in May and June 1998. To further conserve cash, the Company is
limiting inventory for the OTC vacuum erection device until firm sales
orders are secured and is investigating other means of increasing cash
flow, including further reducing operating costs and deferring non-
essential expenditures. The expense and staff reductions taken to date (see
above) are not sufficient to return the Company to consistent
profitability. The Company expects, however, that when coupled with
anticipated increases in new product sales, these expense and staff
reductions, will enable the Company to return to profitable levels in the
third or fourth quarter of the current fiscal year. However, if no
significant increase in product sales versus current levels is seen, then
management will have to consider additional steps to attempt to return the
Company to profitability.
In addition, management is seeking additional sources of capital in order
to enable the Company to continue its product development efforts, market
its products more aggressively, and accelerate a return to consistent
profitability.
In its efforts to expand its operations to a level to return the Company to
profitability, the Company is continuing development of new products,
including the OTC vacuum erection and constriction ring devices. However,
cash and other working capital limitations may inhibit development and
marketing of these new products, which also face risks inherent in bringing
new medical devices to
market. In particular, due to the significant inventory investment
required, timely development and marketing of the OTC vacuum erection and
constriction ring devices and resuscitator may be restricted.
Any statements which are not historical facts contained in this report are
forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, including
but not limited to those relating to the uncertainty of expected purchases
of OEM products by Osbon or Mission, other unexpected increases or
decreases in sales or manufacturing costs of the Company's products, market
acceptance and product demand for the Company's Syringe I.V. Infusion
System, OTC vacuum erection and constriction ring devices, and
resuscitator, uncertainty related to Food and Drug Administration or other
government regulation, and other risks identified in the Company's
Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
Results of Operations
Results For Three Months Ended May 31, 1998 As Compared With Three Months
Ended May 31, 1997:
In the three months ended May 31, 1998 the loss from operations was $15,450
as compared to a loss from operations of $150,089 in the three months ended
May 31, 1997, an improvement of $134,639. The improvement of $134,639
resulted from an increase in sales of $367,850 versus the first quarter of
the prior year, due to increased sales of the Res-Q-Vac suction system and
added sales from the new OEM vacuum device. The new OEM vacuum device added
sales of $242,000 in the quarter.The losses from operations in both fiscal
quarters resulted primarily from the decline in sales of OEM products to Osbon
(see above). Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $283,913, a
decrease of $9,203, versus the same quarter of the prior year, due primarily to
decreased marketing costs. Research and development increased $17,940 to
$58,676 due to product development expenses. Depreciation and amortization
increased $6,527 to $39,380 due to depreciation of production tooling for the
Freedom60 and OEM vacuum products.
In the quarter ended May 31, 1998, net income was $13,796, as compared to a
net loss of $47,417 in the quarter ended May 31, 1997. Earnings per common
share were $0.00 in the current quarter and the same quarter of the prior
fiscal year.
