Part I

 

Item 1. Business.

 

General Development of Business. Biosynergy,Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as an Illinois corporation on February 9, 1976. The Company was formed primarilyfor the purpose of developing, manufacturing, and marketing products utilizing cholesteric liquid crystals. The Company presentlymanufactures and markets disposable medical, laboratory, and industrial thermometric and thermographic cholesteric liquid crystaldevices. The Company also distributes an electronic heat block used as an activator for its HemoTempR II Core CorrelatedBlood Monitoring Device manufactured by a third party to specifications of the Company.

 

The Company did not enter into any agreementsmaterially affecting its operations during Fiscal 2012. The Company experienced an increase in sales of $111,917 or 9.9% in Fiscal2012. Sales of $1,240,860 in Fiscal 2012 were the highest in the Company’s history. The Company realized an after incometax profit of $124,756 for Fiscal 2012 compared to an after income tax profit of $96,865 for Fiscal 2011. See “Management’sDiscussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

 

The Company did not introduce any new productsto its product line, but did conduct an OEM project in Fiscal 2012. The Company, however, continued its development and reviewof the proposed products described in “Thermographic and Thermometric Devices and Accessories” below.

 

The Company continued to introduce its productsdirectly to industrial customers during Fiscal 2012. Although the ultimate results of these activities are not known, Managementbelieves there is a need for its products and technology in the industrial markets.

 

Except as stated above, there were no othersignificant contracts or developments with regard to the Company's business during the past fiscal year.

 

Financial Information About Industry Segments.The Company’s revenues were generated from sales of medical and laboratory products in the medical and laboratory industrysegment during the fiscal years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011. For a description of these products, see “Narrative Descriptionof Business.”

 

See "Information About Foreign and DomesticOperations and Export Sales". See also "Selected Financial Data" and "Financial Statements and SupplementaryData" for the operating profit and loss and identifiable assets related to the Company's operations in its industry segment.

 

Narrative Description of Business. Asdescribed in "General Development of Business", the Company is presently engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing,and marketing disposable thermometric and thermographic temperature indicators and accessories for the medical, laboratory andindustrial markets. The Company is also developing bacteria growth retardant agents. Further information about the business andproposed products of the Company are described below.

 

Thermographic and Thermometric Devices andOther Products. During the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 the Company manufactured and marketed various medical, laboratory,and consumer thermometric and thermographic devices and accessories. These products (described below) were sold to hospitals, clinicalend-users, laboratories, and product dealers.

 

1. The HemoTempR Core CorrelatedBlood Monitoring Device ("BMD") is designed to be a human blood bag temperature indicator. Human blood must be maintained,optimally, at 1-3o C., and not allowed to exceed 6-10oC. Since human blood is always in short supply, itis critical that blood be maintained within these specifications to avoid loss. HemoTempR BMD monitors the core temperatureof a blood bag from 1-12o C., and replaces the impractical mercury thermometer susceptible to breakage. HemoTempRBMD once attached to the blood bag is usable throughout the life of the blood.

 

2.HemoTempR II Core Correlated BMD is designed to warn blood bank personnel whenever the internal temperature of the bloodbag has exceeded approximately 6-10o C. HemoTempR II BMD has an irreversible indicator that is activatedwhen the tag is applied to the blood bag at approximately 3o C. After being activated, the irreversible indicator remainsblue colored for at least 72 hours if the blood is kept at 3°C, however, if the blood is warmed to a temperature of 6-10o C. or above, the indicator will lose its blue color muchmore rapidly or the indicator will change color; the nature and degree of the color change depend on the temperature of the sampleand the time at each temperature. The irreversible indicator will not return to blue even if the blood is subsequently recooled,indicating that the blood has been warmed. The reversible portion of the indicator reversibly monitors temperatures from 1-9oC. HemoTempR II BMD is non-reusable and must be replaced each time the blood bag is returned to the blood bank and reissued.

 

3. HemoTempR II Activator is an electronic,portable block model heater developed to provide a reliable source of heat necessary to activate the Company's HemoTempRII BMD. The HemoTempR II Activator has a thermostatic control to permit precise setting and continuous control of temperaturesin the range for activation of the Company's HemoTempR II BMD. This device is intended by the Company to be used withHemoTempR II BMD as a system for blood monitoring. This device is manufactured by another company to specificationsset by the Company.

 

4. TempTrendR Temperature Indicator("TI") is primarily used to monitor the temperature of urine specimens collected for drug testing to detect fraudulenturine specimens. Most common forms of drug testing require a urine specimen. However, the test is valid only if a legitimate urinespecimen is collected which has not been altered by the subject to mask a drug abuse problem. In order to eliminate altered orfraudulent urine specimens in tests on federal employees, federal government guidelines require that urine temperature be measuredwithin four minutes of sample collection, and that the temperature be 90.5-98.9o F. Temperature measurements taken withTempTrendR TI are simply a matter of observing the color illuminated number and recording the temperature. TempTrendRTI also provides a non-invasive method of monitoring the actual surface temperature trends of any body surface where temperaturemeasurement is important, such as near joints in rheumatoid arthritis and to assess blood circulation.

 

5. TempTrendR II Temperature TrendDevice ("TTD") is a second generation temperature trend device which is correlated to internal body temperature and providesa non-invasive, readily visible means of monitoring changes in body temperature. TempTrendR II TTD will reflect oraltemperatures such as those taken by glass thermometers. TempTrendR II TTD is used intraoperatively to warn of developinghyper or hypothermic conditions. The indicator can also be used for monitoring a patient's temperature during any type of transfusionprocedure.

 

6. LabTempR 20, LabTempR40 and LabTempR 60 Surface Temperature Indicators ("STI") are designed to reversibly indicate the temperatureof laboratory materials which require specific storage or use temperatures. LabTempR 20 STI indicates temperatures between0-21o C., LabTempR 40 STI monitors temperatures between 19-21 and 24-41o C., while LabTempR60 STI measures temperatures between 41-61o C. These thermometers are designed to monitor the temperature and changesin temperature of hundreds of laboratory chemicals and supplies which require specific temperature conditions; however, these thermometersare suitable for temperature measurement of any surface.

 

7. StaFreezR Freeze-Thaw Indicator("FTI") is a freeze-thaw indicator which will irreversibly indicate whether frozen material is warmed to greater than-20 o C. Once the frozen product exceeds -20o C., the liquid crystal indicator will turn from blue to grayto black, and refreezing the product at a lower temperature will not bring back the original frozen state color.

 

8. ThermolyzerTM Liquid ConductiveCooling/Heating Device is a small product for providing continuous heating or cooling of medical fluids which are administeredto patients, particularly for patients undergoing intravenous fluid administration during surgery or post-operative recovery. Thedevice does not use electricity for heating or cooling the medical fluids. The heating or cooling is accomplished by conduction,which is a process for transporting energy in a medium from one location to another without the involvement of any visible movement.Marketing of this device is subject to FDA pre-market approval, which is in process.

 

9. The Company also has the capability of manufacturingon an as needed basis, specialty products including devices manufactured to the specification and design of the customer, suchas time/ temperature shipping labels for food products under the trade name FoodGardeTM Time/Temperature Indicatorsand liquid crystal thermometers for general purpose thermometry. The Company is not currently selling any such specialty products.

 

Products Under Development. The Companyis also developing these other products.

 

1. The Company is developing certain compoundsintended for use as bacteria growth retardant agents for use in food and other products. Although these antibacterial compoundsare subject to Food and Drug Administration regulation, they are historically designated as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS).Since there are several unknown factors regarding efficacy, supply and regulatory requirements, the outcome of this project cannotbe predicted with any certainty at this time.

 

2. The Company is also investigating productionmethods for the bacteria growth retardant compound described in Paragraph 1 above. In this regard, the Company has developed certainproprietary technology related to the processing of these compounds. The Company has filed for one patent related to the processingand manufacture of bacteria growth retardant compounds for use in food and other products and one patent related to the use ofsuch compounds (see “Patents and Trademarks”).

 

3. The Company intends to market new irreversibletime/temperature indicators which will be used as shipping labels, and in other forms, for the frozen food packaging industry (underthe tradename FoodGardeTM), the pharmaceutical industry, and for other industries requiring careful monitoring of refrigeratedor frozen materials. The devices will have irreversible color changes at various temperatures determined to be critical by theend-user. Therefore, a purchaser, whether an individual consumer or a merchant, will be able to instantaneously determine the temperaturehistory of the material. These products will generally be customized to meet the requirements of the customer. There are currentlyno contracts for development, manufacture or sale of any such irreversible time/temperature indicators.

 

4. The Company has recognized a need existsfor a simple, inexpensive indicator to determine if sensitive materials have been subjected to freezing temperatures. The Companyis continuing its investigation of the feasibility of such an indicator.

 

5. The Company is investigating the feasibilityof additional products to systematize the use of its thermometric and thermographic liquid crystal devices as well as alternativetechnologies to supplement its current product line where the Company’s current products are not suitable. The results ofsuch investigations are not available at this time.

 

Manufacturing. The Company manufacturesall of its products except for the HemoTempR II Activator and ThermolyzerTM. These products are manufacturedfor the Company by unrelated companies on an as needed basis. Raw materials for the Company's other products are purchased, butall manufacturing of these products is performed at the Company's production facility. All outside manufacturing is done to specificationsset by the Company. There are no commitments or firm agreements for outside manufacturers to provide products for the Company,and the Company does not anticipate it will enter into any such agreements in the foreseeable future.

 

The Company has thirty-six years of experienceworking with various liquid crystal formulations, thermometric and thermographic application methods and the effect of temperatureand other factors on degradable materials. The Company maintains complete records of manufacturing and quality assurance testingof all of its products in compliance with Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") regulations. All products are manufacturedaccording to "good manufacturing practices" ("GMP") for medical devices.

 

Marketing and Distribution. The Companyhas traditionally targeted the medical and laboratory markets. While novel products, such as the Company's products, enjoy theadvantage of no initial competition, they also initially lack a demonstrated market and acceptance. Furthermore, cost savings programsand awareness have slowed down the introduction of new products, particularly in the medical market. As a result, the time requiredto achieve acceptance of the Company's medical products is significantly increased, in Management's opinion.

 

Although the Company relies on its own salesand distribution efforts for a portion of its sales, the Company's distributors accounted for a majority of the Company’snet sales in Fiscal 2012. During Fiscal 2012, Fisher Scientific Company (“Fisher”) accounted for 32.6% of the Company'ssales. Cardinal Health, Inc. (“Cardinal”) accounted for 28.7% of Company sales during Fiscal 2012. Management believesdistributors will continue to be an important part of the Company’s sales and distribution system in the future.

 

The Company continues to negotiate with variousmedical and laboratory product companies for the distribution of its products under private labels and to introduce its productsin the industrial, pharmaceutical and laboratory markets, the success of which cannot be assured. The Company is attempting tointroduce new products to supplement its current product line. The Company is also researching products outside the traditionalmedical and laboratory markets, the results of which cannot be predicted at this time.

 

At the present, one full-time and two part-timeemployees are engaged in marketing the Company's products. The Company does not have an outside sales force. Since the Companymarkets its products to approximately 7,000 hospitals in the United States, hundreds of laboratories and industrial end-users inthe United States, and thousands of hospitals and laboratories in foreign countries, it will continue to rely upon the marketingefforts of independent dealers and sales representatives for the medical and laboratory markets. The Company directly markets andsells to industrial customers.

 

The Company is unaware of its current marketshare for its medical and laboratory products.

 

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials.In general, the Company believes its sources and availability of raw materials and finished products to be satisfactory. Presently,there are a limited number of domestic manufacturers of liquid crystal chemicals. Although it is expected that these domestic manufacturerswill continue to supply the raw liquid crystals needed for the production of the Company's products, which cannot be assured, ifindustrial quantities of raw liquid crystals are unavailable from domestic sources, the Company will need to import these materialsfrom foreign suppliers, or, as an alternative, manufacture such materials itself. Other materials and products are currently availablefrom a variety of suppliers.

 

Patents and Trademarks. The Company waspreviously granted or assigned five United States and four foreign patents relating to liquid crystal technology. All of thesepatents have expired. Although these patents are no longer in effect, management does not believe this will have an adverse materialimpact on the Company's operations, revenues or properties.

 

The Company was granted a patent, “LiquidConductive Cooling/Heating Device and Method of Use”, Patent Number US 7,276,046 B1, relating to the Company’s thermolyzer,on October 2, 2007. This patent will expire on June 6, 2024.

 

The Company has filed three patents which arepending related to its products and products under development. One patent entitled “Method of Producing Eggshell Powder,”application number 10/535,779 was filed on August 4, 2005 replacing provisional patent application number 60/474,175 filed May29, 2003 and provisional patent number 60/575,336 filed May 27, 2004. Another patent, “Eggshell Antimicrobial Agent and Methodof Use”, application number 11/108,584 was filed April 18, 2005 replacing provisional patent application number 60/638,548filed December 22, 2004. The application was published as U.S. Pat. Publication No. 2006/0062857. The subject of this patent isthe Company’s bacteria growth retardant under development. These patent applications are pending review by the U.S. Patentand Trademark office. See “Products Under Development.” It is uncertain whether the patent pending related to the useof the bacteria growth retardant will ultimately be approved, or, if approved, will be approved as currently presented. The thirdpatent, “Fold-Over Cooling Pack”, application number 29/405,912, was filed on November 8, 2011. The subject of thispatent is a design for a different gel-pak. Industrial Design Applications have also been filed in Turkey on May 7, 2012 (2012/03234),India on May 2, 2012 (245076), Canada on May 7, 2012 (no number issued as of filing), and with the European Registered Communityon May 8, 2012 (002038745). The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office issued a Notice of Allowance with respect to this patent on June28, 2012. The Notice of Allowance indicates that a patent will be issued in approximately three (3) months from the date of paymentof an issue fee and completion of any other formal matters. Management does not anticipate any issues with the timely payment ofthe issue fee and the subsequent granting of the patent. Management does not know at this time whether the granting of the patentby the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will have a material impact on the Company's operations, revenues or properties. The patentapplication related to the Fold-over Cool Pack is still pending review by the Foreign Patent and Trademark Office. It is also uncertainwhether this patent pending before the Foreign Patent and Trademark Office will ultimately be approved, or if approved, will beapproved as currently presented.

 

The Company will also seek to obtain patentson other products currently being developed, as appropriate.

 

The Company has received registered trademarkprotection on all product names to date excepting Temp-D-TekTM, Tempa-SlideTM, FoodGardeTM, LaproVueTMand Hemo-CoolTM. The Company has retained, however, all the common law rights to the ThermolyzerTM, Temp-D-TekTM,Tempa-SlideTM, FoodGardeTM, LaproVueTM, and Hemo-CoolTM trademarks. Additional trademarkregistrations will be applied for as needed.

 

Although patent and trademark protection isimportant, the Company believes no material adverse effects to the Company's operations will result in the event additional patentsand/or trademarks are not obtained, or, if obtained, such patents and/or trademarks are held to be invalid. Certain processes andchemical formulas will be maintained only as trade secrets. Management feels that it will be difficult for potential competitionto analyze or reproduce the secret processes and formulas without substantial expenditure of capital and resources.

 

Seasonable Aspect of Business. The businessof the Company is not seasonal.

 

Working Capital Items. The Company hasattempted to conserve working capital whenever possible. To this end, the Company attempts to keep inventory at minimum levels.The Company believes that it will be able to maintain adequate inventory to supply its customers on a timely basis by careful planningand forecasting demand for its products. However, the Company is nevertheless required, as is customary in the medical and laboratoryindustries, to carry inventory to meet the delivery requirements of customers and thus, inventory represents a substantial portionof the Company's current assets.

 

The Company presently grants payment terms tocustomers and dealers of 30 days. The Company will not accept returns of products from its dealers except for change or creditbut does guarantee the quality of its products to the end user.

 

As of April 30, 2012, the Company had $1,066,291of current assets available. Of this amount, $27,370 represented prepaid expenses, $84,790 was inventory, $167,557 was net tradereceivables, and $786,574 represented cash.

 

Management of the Company believes that it hassufficient working capital to continue operations for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2013 provided the Company's sales and abilityto collect accounts receivable are not adversely affected. In the event the Company's sales materially decrease, the receivablesof the Company are materially impaired for any reason, or the Company needs additional capital for its development projects, itmay be necessary to obtain additional financing to cover working capital items and keep current trade accounts payable, of whichthere can be no assurance. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

 

Major Customers. Fisher, the Company'sprimary independent product distributor, was directly responsible for 32.6% of the Company's net sales during the fiscal year endingApril 30, 2012. Cardinal, the Company’s other primary distributor, accounted for 28.7% of the Company’s net sales duringthe fiscal year ending April 30, 2012. At April 30, 2012, Fisher owed the Company $94,560 and Cardinal owed $33,800. No other customersaccounted for 10% or more of the Company’s net sales during Fiscal 2012. Management believes the loss of these distributorswould materially reduce the revenues of the Company until the Company could retain, if available, the services of other major productdistributors or the end users serviced by Fisher and Cardinal began ordering directly from the Company. Management has no reasonto believe that the Company will lose either of these distributors in the foreseeable future.

 

Backlogs. The Company had no backordersat April 30, 2012 or 2011.

 

Government Contracts. The Company doesnot have a material portion of its business that may be subject to renegotiation of profits or termination of contracts or subcontractsat the election of any government entity.

 

Competition. The Company has no knowncommercial competitors of its blood monitoring devices using liquid crystal technology. The Company's HEMOTEMPR II BMD(blood bag temperature monitor) competes in the medical market against several functionally similar products. Management of theCompany believes that HEMOTEMPR II BMD is superior because it provides an irreversible monitor with a reversible monitorto warn the user that blood is approaching an unsafe temperature. There are no known commercial competitors of the Company's HemoTempRII Activator.

 

In the area of laboratory temperature monitoring,a known competitor supplies reversible and irreversible temperature indicators. In the area of a food or drink safety indicator,there is no competition known to the Company that utilizes liquid crystal technology. The Company believes that the frozen foodindustry presently uses primarily physical and organoleptic evaluation (e.g. evaluation of softness, texture, aroma, taste, andthe like), as well as mercury thermometers and temperature sensitive inks to monitor freshness. Labels containing wax encapsulateddyes with specific low melting points and capillary action products are produced by several other companies.

 

The Company’s TempTrendR IIcompetes in the medical market against products produced by several other companies. The Company’s TempTrendRcompetes in the drug testing market, specifically for monitoring the temperature of urine samples, with several other companiesutilizing liquid crystal and non-liquid crystal technology.

 

A number of other companies are only involvedin the manufacture of liquid crystal raw materials and do not directly compete with the Company for sale of medical, industrialor consumer products. Mercury and electronic thermometers are used in several competitive applications. They are generally morecostly, non-disposable or not usable in most applications where liquid crystal thermometry and temperature indicators are utilized.

 

Many of the Company’s competitors mayhave greater financial and other resources than the Company. The Company’s ability to compete depends on its ability to design,manufacture and sell high quality products as well as its ability to develop new products and functionality that meet evolvingcustomer requirements.

 

Research and Development. During Fiscal2012 and 2011, the Company spent $103,169 and $97,076, respectively, on Company-sponsored research and development activities.All expenditures for research and development are expensed currently with the exception of significant equipment and set-up chargeswhich are capitalized and depreciated or amortized over their estimated useful life.

 

The Company is conducting research and developmentof products discussed under "Products Under Development." In this regard, the Company may require financing to completethe development of these products. The success of the Company in obtaining financing for research and development may largely determinewhether the Company will be able to continue the research and development for such products. Management believes the Company hassufficient working capital for anticipated research and development for the ensuing year.

 

Government Regulations. The Company iscurrently in the process of FDA pre-market approval for its ThermolyzerTM Liquid Conductive Cooling/Heating device.Other products under review, such as the bacteria growth retarding compound, may require pre-clearance by the FDA or other governmentagencies. Present medical products of the Company are classified by the FDA as Class I or Class II. These are subject only to generalregulations requiring that manufacturers adhere to certain guidelines to provide reasonable assurance of utility, safety, and effectiveness.These guidelines include labeling requirements, registration with the FDA as a manufacturer, listing of devices in commercial distributionwith the FDA, notification to FDA of devices proposed to be marketed, conformance to specified current good manufacturing practicesin the manufacture of the devices, conformance to certain record-keeping requirements, and, in the case of Class II devices, conformanceto certain performance standards. At the present time, the Company believes that it is in compliance with regulations set forthby the FDA.

 

Information About Foreign and Domestic Operationsand Export Sales. The Company had export sales of $55,900 during the last fiscal year, and export sales of $29,581 during thefiscal year ending in 2011. The Company also believes that some of its medical devices were sold to distributors within the UnitedStates who resold the devices in foreign markets. However, the Company does not have any information regarding such sales, andsuch sales are not considered to be material.

 

The Company does not rely on any foreign operationsother than its dealers and marketing representatives in their respective marketing areas. See "Marketing and Distribution."It is not anticipated export sales will be material to operating revenues or income of the Company. Foreign sales are contingentupon, among other factors, foreign trade regulations, value of the United States Dollar and, where required, government approvalof the Company's products including CE Marketing requirements.

 

The Company is exposed to risks generally attendantto foreign operations, including but not limited to, trade restrictions, tariffs, embargos, foreign war and unrest and competitionfrom foreign and domestic producers. Management believes the partial or total loss of foreign operations would not have a materialimpact on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

 

Environmental Protection Expenditures.The Company's operations are not subject to any federal, state or local laws regulating the discharge of materials into the environmentwhich materially affect earnings or the competitive position of the Company, although the Company is subject to such laws. Therewere no material capital expenditures made during the last fiscal year to comply with such laws, nor are any such expendituresanticipated for Fiscal 2013.

 

Employees. The Company presently hasfive full-time employees comprised of the President (who also presently serves as the Director of Marketing and Technical Operations),three Vice Presidents and one in the marketing department. The Company also has several part-time employees in the production departmentwhen needed and one in the marketing department.

 

Website. The Company maintains a Websiteat www.biosynergyinc.com. The Company makes available on its Website free of charge its annual report on form 10-K, quarterly reportson Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d)of the Exchange Act (15 U.S.C. 78m(a) or 78o(d)). The Company will provide electronic or paper copies of its filings free of chargeupon request.

 

Reports to Shareholders. The Companyis not required to deliver annual reports to its shareholders. Historically, the Company has not delivered annual reports to itsshareholders and does not intend to do so this year. However, all written material filed with the Securities and Exchange Commissionmay be read and copied at the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Public Reference Room at 450 5th Street, N.W.,Washington, D.C. 20549.

Net Sales. Net sales for the fiscal yearending April 30, 2012 were $111,917, or 9.9%, higher than the previous fiscal year. The increase in sales during Fiscal 2012 wasprimarily due to increased sales of the Company's HemoTempR and HemoTempR II blood temperature indicators.The Company experienced an increase of $111,998, or 10.8%, in sales of its HemoTempR II product in Fiscal 2012 as comparedto Fiscal 2011, and an increase of $3,693, or 11.6%, in sales of its HemoTempR product. The increase in net sales ofthe HemoTempR II product and HemoTempR product is a result of price increases as well as an increase in unitsales volume during Fiscal 2012.

 

Other Revenues. Interest income for Fiscal2012 was $364 less than fiscal 2011 due to a decrease in the interest rate paid on investments. During Fiscal 2012, the Companymaintained a money market account which received an interest rate between .10% and .25% APY. The Company also realized $1,920 inmiscellaneous income from subleasing a portion of the Company’s storage space during Fiscal 2012 and $1,921 in miscellaneousincome from such subleasing in Fiscal 2011.

 

Costs and Expenses. Overall operatingcosts and expenses for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 increased by $52,973 compared to the fiscal year ending in 2011. Theincrease in operating costs and expenses for Fiscal 2012 was generally related to an increase in legal, salaries and office andlaboratory supply expenses. With the exception of the above expenses, the overhead of the Company has remained substantially constant.In order for the Company to continue without materially altering its present operations, the overall operating costs and expensesfor the ensuing fiscal year are expected to be similar to or slightly higher than those of the last fiscal year.

 

Cost of Sales. As a percentage of netsales, the cost of sales was 28.56% for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2012 and 30.34% for the fiscal year ending April 30, 2011.This decrease in cost of sales as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to increases in the selling price of the productsduring the comparative time periods. The Company expects that the cost of sales as a percentage of net sales will remain relativelystable over the next fiscal year in the absence of a material change in unit sales volume or an increase in cost of raw materials.

 

Research and Development Expenses. Researchand development expenses increased during the fiscal year ending in 2012 by $6,093 or 6.27%, as compared to the fiscal year endingin 2011. The overall increase from Fiscal 2011 is due to increases in laboratory supplies, equipment and FDA annual fees. The Companyis investigating several new products including certain compounds for use in food and other products as antibacterial agents andresearch intended to improve the Company’s current product line. These development expenses have remained substantially constantfor the past three years. There is insufficient information available to determine the extent to which the Company will be requiredto allocate its resources to the continued development of these products. See "Narrative Description of Business – ProductsUnder Development."

 

Marketing Expenses. The Company's marketingexpenses were $171,322 in 2012 as compared to $153,795 for the fiscal year ending in 2011. The increase for Fiscal 2012 was primarilydue to the addition of a full time employee, additional insurance expenses and trade show exhibit fees. The Company will continueto increase its marketing activities as resources became available which management believes is necessary to continue the Company'sgrowth.

 

General and Administrative Expenses.The Company's general and administrative costs increased by $29,353 as compared to the 2011 fiscal year. The increase was primarilythe result of increases in general insurance, salaries, office supplies and legal fees. Except for unforeseen extraordinary items,increases to employee compensation associated with the Company’s 401(k) plan and formal bonus plan, and normal increasesin employee compensation, it is unlikely general and administrative expenses will materially change during Fiscal 2013.

 

Net Income/Loss. The Company experienceda net after-tax profit of $124,756 for Fiscal 2012 as compared to a net after-tax profit of $96,865 for Fiscal 2011. The overallincrease in profitability of the Company is due to increased sales during Fiscal 2012. See discussion of various expenses above.

 

Assets. Since April 30, 2011, the Company'scurrent assets have increased by $135,669. This increase is primarily due to increased cash resulting from the Company’sprofit position. Other changes in specific items do not reflect transactions outside the ordinary course of business. See also“Related Party Transactions” below.

 

Related Party Transactions. The Companywas owed $19,699 by F.K. Suzuki International, Inc. ("FKSI"), an affiliate, at April 30, 2012 and 2011 in connectionwith past shared common expenses. These expenses include certain office expenses, general operating expenses and legal fees incurredin the ordinary course of business. See "Financial Statements." No interest is received or accrued by the Company. Collectibilityof the amounts due from FKSI cannot be assured without the liquidation of all or a portion of its assets, including a portion ofits common stock of the Company. As a result, $19,699 of the amount owed by FKSI to the Company was reclassified as a reductionof FKSI’s capital in the Company.

 

Lauane C. Addis, Secretary and Director of theCompany, is a member of the law firm of Stahl Cowen Crowley Addis LLC. Mr. Addis has represented the Company with respect to thepreparation and filing of this Report. Mr. Addis, and other members and associates of Stahl Cowen Crowley Addis LLC, perform otherlegal services for the Company from time to time, and it is anticipated such services will be performed by Mr. Addis and othermembers and associates of Stahl Cowen Crowley Addis LLC, in the future. During Fiscal 2012, the Company paid $33,732 in legal feesto Stahl Cowen Crowley Addis LLC, some of which inured to the benefit of Mr. Addis in the form of distributions from the law firm.

 

Liabilities. The Company's current liabilitieshave increased by $13,818 since April 30, 2011. This increase is primarily due to ordinary fluctuations in operations. The increasedoes not represent any material change in the financial status or operations of the Company. See also "Assets" and "Liquidityand Capital Resources."

 

Current Assets/Liabilities Ratio. Theratio of current assets to current liabilities, 14.09 to 1, has decreased from 15.05 to 1 at April 30, 2011. The decrease in ratioof current assets to current liabilities is a result of an increase in current accrued compensation and vacation due to normalbusiness cycle fluctuations. In order to maintain the Company’s asset/liability ratio, the Company’s operations mustremain profitable.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources. Duringthe fiscal year ending April 30, 2012, the Company had an increase in net working capital of $121,851. The increase in net workingcapital is primarily due to the Company’s realizing and retaining a profit in Fiscal 2012.

 

The Company has attempted to conserve workingcapital whenever possible. To this end, the Company attempts to keep inventory at a minimum level. The Company believes that itwill be able to maintain adequate inventory to supply its customers on a timely basis by careful planning and forecasting demandfor its products. However, the Company is nevertheless required to carry sufficient inventory to meet the delivery requirementsof customers and thus, inventory represents a substantial portion of the Company’s current assets.

 

The Company presently grants payment terms tocustomers and dealers of 30 days. Although the Company experiences varying collection periods of its account receivable, the Companybelieves that uncollectible accounts receivable will not have a significant effect on future liquidity.

 

Cash provided by operating activities was $138,137during Fiscal 2012. Cash provided by operating activities was $180,177 during Fiscal 2011. An aggregate of $19,460 was also usedby equipment purchases and capitalized patent costs during Fiscal 2012. Except for operating capital, limited equipment purchases,and patent expenses, Management is not aware of any other material capital requirements or material contingencies for which itmust provide.

 

As of April 30, 2012, the Company had $1,066,291of current assets available. Of this amount, $27,370 was prepaid expenses, $84,790 was inventory, $167,557 was net trade receivables,and $786,574 was cash. The Company’s cash flow from operations is considered adequate to fund the short-term operating capitalneeds of the Company. However, the Company does not have a working line of credit, and does not anticipate obtaining a workingline of credit in the near future. Thus there is a risk additional financing may be necessary to fund long-term operating capitalneeds of the Company if the Company does not remain profitable.

 

Effects of Inflation. With the exceptionof inventory, labor costs and product sales prices increasing with inflation, inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’srevenues and income from continuing operations in the past three years. Inflation is not expected to have a material effect onthe Company’s revenues or income in the foreseeable future.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.On December 12, 2001, the SEC issued FR-60 “Cautionary Advice Regarding Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies.”FR-60 is an intermediate step to alert companies to the need for greater investor awareness of the sensitivity of financial statementsto the methods, assumptions, and estimates underlying their preparation, including the judgments and uncertainties affecting theapplication of those policies and the likelihood that materially different amounts would be reported under different conditionsor using different assumptions.

 

The Company’s significant accounting policiesare disclosed in Note 2 to the Financial Statements for the year ending April 30, 2012. See “Financial Statements.”Except as noted below, the impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operation would not have been materiallydifferent had the Company reported under different conditions or using different assumptions. The policies which may have materiallyaffected the financial position and results of operations of the Company if such information had been reported under differentcircumstances or assumptions are:

 

Use of Estimates - Preparation of financialstatements and conformity with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America requires management tomake estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets andliabilities as of the date of the Financial Statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.The financial condition of the Company and results of operations may differ from the estimates and assumptions made by managementin preparation of the Financial Statements accompanying this report.

 

Allowance for Bad Debts - The Companyperiodically performs credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral to support amounts due fromthe sale of its products. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based on its best estimate of accounts receivable.

 

Fair Value of Assets, Liabilities and Expenditures- In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements”, now ASC 820, “FairValue Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820). ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell anasset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date, establishesa framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 also establishes a fair valuehierarchy that prioritizes information used in developing assumptions when pricing an asset of liability. ASC 820 became effectivefor the Company beginning in fiscal year 2009. The Company’s adoption of ASC 820 did not have a significant effect on theCompany’s financial position or results of operations.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysisof Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTINGFIRM

 

We have audited the accompanyingbalance sheet of Biosynergy, Inc. as of April 30, 2012 and 2011 and the related statements of income, stockholders' equity, andcash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Ourresponsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

 

We conducted our auditsin accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards requirethat we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  TheCompany has determined that it is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financialreporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit proceduresthat are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company'sinternal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accountingprinciples used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Webelieve that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financialstatements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Biosynergy, Inc. as of April 30,2012 and 2011 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States of America.

Useof Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statementsin conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimatesand assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilitiesas of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actualresults could differ from those estimates.

 

IncomePer Common Share

 

Income per common share is computed bydividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net incomeper common share is the same for the years ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.

Based on the Company’s analysis, the fair value of financial instruments recorded on the balance sheets asof April 30, 2012 and 2011, approximates their carrying value.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05,“Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income”, which is effective for annual reporting periodsbeginning after December 15, 2011. This guidance eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive incomeas part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. In addition, items of other comprehensive income that are reclassifiedto profit or loss are required to be presented separately on the face of the financial statements. This guidance is intended toincrease the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements by requiring that such amounts be presented eitherin single continuous statement of income or separately in consecutive statements of income and comprehensive income. The Company’sadoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

 

The FASB issues ASUs to amend the authoritativeliterature in Accounting Standards Certification (ASC). There have been a number of ASUs to date that amend the original text ofASCs. Except for the ASUs listed above, those issued to date either (i) provide supplemental guidance, (ii) are technical corrections,(iii) are not applicable to the Company or (iv) are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company.
