NOTE 1  NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

NATURE OF OPERATIONS

REPRO MED SYSTEMS, INC. (the “Company”) designs, manufactures and markets proprietary medical devices primarily for the ambulatory infusion market and emergency medical applications. The Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) regulates these products. The Company operates as one segment.  

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited financial statements as of November 30, 2015, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and with instructions to SEC regulation S-X for interim financial statements.

In the opinion of the Company’s management, the financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of November 30, 2015, and the results of operations and cash flow for the three month and nine month periods ended November 30, 2015, and 2014.

The results of operations for the three and nine months ended November 30, 2015, and 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.  These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto of the Company and management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations included in the Company’s Annual Report for the year ended February 28, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K.

USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Important estimates include but are not limited to, asset lives, valuation allowances, inventory, and accruals.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-11—Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory.  The ASU was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and under the ASU, inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value, which would eliminate the other two options that currently exist for the market: (1) replacement cost and (2) net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin.  This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early application is permitted and should be applied prospectively.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements.

In May 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The ASU clarifies the principles for recognizing revenue and develops a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) that removes inconsistencies and weaknesses in revenue requirements, provides a more robust framework for addressing revenue issues, improves comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions and capital markets, provides more useful information to users of the financial statements through improved disclosure requirements and simplifies the preparation of financial statements by reducing the number of requirements to which an entity must refer. The amendments in this update are effective for the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within that reporting period. Full or modified retrospective adoption is required and early application is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606); Deferral of the Effective Date, which (a) delays the effective date of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), by one year to annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and (b) allows early adoption of the ASU by all entities as of the original effective date for public entities.  The Company is assessing the impact of the adoption of the ASU on its financial statements, disclosure requirements and methods of adoption.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company maintains various long-term incentive stock benefit plans under which it grants stock options and restricted stock awards to certain directors and key employees.  The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. All options are charged against income at their fair value.  The entire compensation expense of the award is recognized over the vesting period. Shares of stock granted are recorded at the fair value of the shares at the grant date, over the vesting period.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior period data to the current presentation.  These reclassifications had no effect on reported net income.
