BIOCONTROL TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of
Biocontrol Technology, Inc. (the "Company") and its 89.9%
owned subsidiary, Coraflex, Inc., and its 52% owned
subsidiary, Diasense, Inc., and its 67% owned subsidiary,
Petrol Rem, Inc., and its 99.1% owned subsidiary, IDT, Inc.,
and its 99.4% owned subsidiary, Barnacle Ban Inc., and its
58.4% owned subsidiary, ICTI, Inc., have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information, and with the instructions to
Form 10-Q and Rule 10-O Regulation S-X. 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 accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes included in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1997.
The Company has expensed approximately $8.4 million through
December 31, 1997 in connection with development efforts by
its subsidiary, IDT, Inc., in a hyperthermia project. All
such funding has been expensed either as General and
Administrative expenses or as Research and Development
expenses, based upon Management's evaluation of the costs
incurred. Through December 31, 1997, approximately 62% of
this funding had been expensed as Research and Development
costs with the remaining 38% being expensed as General and
Administrative costs.
The Company's consolidated net income (loss) is substantially
the same as comprehensive income required to be disclosed by
SFAS130.
NOTE B - Net Loss Per Common Share
Net loss per common share is based on the average number of
outstanding common shares. The loss per share does not
include common stock equivalents since the effect would be
anti-dilutive. The weighted average shares used to calculate
the loss per share for the period ending September 30, 1998,
and September 30, 1997, were 241,246,805 and 62,461,671,
respectively.
NOTE C - Stockholders Equity
During the three months ended September 30, 1998, the Company
issued 4% Subordinate Convertible Debentures totaling
$3,125,000 pursuant to sections 4 (2) and or Regulation D.
Such debentures are convertible to the Company's restricted
common stock at a price of approximately $.059 per share as
the date of this filing. The debentures were not saleable or
convertible for a minimum of 90 days from issuance. (See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis").
The Company's common stock is currently traded on the Nasdaq
electronic bulletin board.
NOTE D -Goodwill
The company recognized $5,310,501 of goodwill in connection
with a Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 20, 1998 to
acquire 58.4% of International Chemical Technologies, Inc.
For purposes of amortizing this goodwill, Management has
determined a useful life of 5 years.
NOTE E - Legal Proceedings
During April 1998, the Company and its affiliates were served
with subpoenas by the U.S. Attorneys' office for the U.S.
District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The
subpoenas requested certain corporate, financial and
scientific documents and the Company continues to provide
documents in response to such requests.
On April 30, 1996, a class action lawsuit was filed against
the Company, Diasense, Inc., and individual officers and
directors. The suit, captioned Walsingham v. Biocontrol
Technology,etal., has been certified as a class action, and is
pending in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania. The suit alleges misleading disclosures in
connection with the Noninvasive Glucose Sensor and other
related activities. By mutual agreement of the parties, the
suit remains in the pre-trial pleading stage, and the Company
is unable to determine the outcome or its impact upon the
Company at this time.
The Company had leased space in two locations in Indiana
County for its manufacturing facilities. One space, which has
been upgraded with leasehold improvements, is still being used
for manufacturing of the Noninvasive Glucose Sensor. The
other space, which had been leased as expansion space, was the
subject of a judgment proceeding. The Company has given up
possession of its expansion space in Indiana County in
response to the filing of a judgment for nonpayment of lease
fees. In return for possession of the space, the leaseholder
had agreed not to pursue any action on the judgment at this
time.
NOTE F Year 2000 Issue
The Company is currently working to resolve the potential
impact of the Year 2000 on the processing of date-sensitive
information. The Year 2000 Issue is the result of computer
programs being written using two digits (rather than four) to
define the applicable year. Programs which are susceptible to
problems after December 31, 1999 are those which recognize a
date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000,
which could result in miscalculations or system failures.
Based upon a review of its own internal programs and software,
the Company currently believes that the Year 2000 will not
pose significant operational problems to its information
systems, because such systems are already compliant or will be
made compliant with minor adjustments. In addition,
ChaseMellon Shareholder Services, the Company's transfer
agent, has disclosed that it will be Year 2000 compliant and
that no interruptions in service will occur. The Company is
also conducting an investigation of its major suppliers,
vendors and other parties to determine their respective plans
for the Year 2000 compliance. The Company's common stock
currently trades on the Nasdaq electronic bulletin board;
Nasdaq and its parent, the NASD, have analyzed its products
and systems; are addressing their Year 2000 issues; and are
implementing a plan to test their systems and to remediate any
Year 2000 problems. As of this date, Nasdaq has not made a
definitive statement regarding when it will be compliant, but
has stated that it is making all necessary changes to its
trading systems. The Company's current estimates indicate
that the costs of addressing potential problems are not
expected to have a material impact upon the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows in
future periods. There can be no assurance, however, that
modifications to information systems which impact the Company
and which are required to remediate year 2000 issues will be
made on a timely basis and that they will not adversely affect
the Company's systems or operations.
NOTE G - RESTATEMENT
The accompanying financial statements include the effect of
adjustments which were made to financial statements previously
issued by the Company.
Subsequent to the issuance of its consolidated financial
statements for the quarter ended September 30, 1998, the
Company determined that beneficial conversion terms included
in its convertible debentures issued in 1996, 1997, and 1998
should be reflected in its financial statements as expense and
as additional paid-in capital. The amount of expense charged
to operations as a result of this adjustment was $1,650,000 in
1996; $6,278,853 in 1997; $3,617,914 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998; $5,638,030 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1997; $986,842 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998; and $3,954,264 for the three months ended
September 30, 1997. Corresponding amounts were recognized as
additional paid-in capital and there was no effect to the
total Stockholders Equity as a result of these adjustments.
NOTE G - RESTATEMENT
The Company has also revised its previously issued financial
statements to reflect a reduction in the amortization period
for goodwill associated with its acquisition of ICTI from 20
years to 5 years. The additional amortization expense for the
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $197,436
and $483,380 respectively.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Cash Flows
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash decreased from $2,759,067 at December 31, 1997 to
$668,868 at September 30, 1998. This decrease was
attributable to the Company's $10,468,642 net operating
expenditures which primarily related to the research and
development of the Noninvasive Glucose Sensor (Sensor) (which
were approximately $5 million), Sensor related general and
administrative expenses (which were approximately $7 million)
and costs associated with the acquisition of ICTI, Inc.. The
Company also had net cash used by investing activities of
$1,334,525, which includes equipment consolidated from ICTI,
Inc. (as set forth below) and the making of Notes Receivable
to related parties.
During the first quarter of 1998, with a view to
diversification and enhancing shareholder value, the Company
acquired a majority interest in ICTI, Inc. from its existing
majority shareholders, Farrell B. and Brenda K. Jones. In
connection with such purchase, the Company made payments
totaling $1,528,000 and issued 2 million shares of the
Company's common stock to the sellers, which the Company
agreed to register on the Jones' behalf. In connection with
its purchase of ICTI, the Company made certain undertakings to
make capital contributions of $3.0 million to ICTI during
1998. Due to its cash flow problems, the Company has been
negotiating with the seller to restructure and redefine its
obligations to make capital contributions to ICTI.
Furthermore, the Company had net cash provided by financing
activities of $9,712,968 of which $10,070,000 was provided
from debentures sold pursuant to Regulation S, section 4 (2)
or Regulation D during the nine-month period ended September
30, 1998. Net cash provided by financing activities was
primarily used to continue to fund the Company's research and
development projects, payments in connection with the
acquisition of ICTI, Inc. and to provide working capital for
the Company.
Results of Operations
Sales during the third quarter decreased to $86,079 in 1998
from $204,190 in 1997 and increased for the nine month period
to $1,019,520 in 1998 from $720,074 in 1997. The decrease and
increase were primarily due to that periods fluctuation in
sales of its Functional Electrical Stimulators, which
accounted for 51% of sales during the nine-month period ended
September 30, 1998.
The sales of functional electrical stimulators have been
suspended, and no orders are currently pending. Sales were
suspended when NeuroControl, the company placing the orders,
discontinued its orders following the Company's cash flow
problems and reduction of personnel in June, 1998. The
Company is unable to determine at this time whether the
suspension is permanent, or when future orders will be
received, if any. Due to the significance of the sales of
functional electrical stimulators when considered as a
percentage of total revenues, in the event that no future
orders are received, it will have a negative impact upon the
Company's liquidity and results of operations.
Interest income increased during the third quarter to $32,466
in 1998 from $23,597 in 1997 and decreased from the nine month
period to $93,060 in 1998 from $93,846 in 1997. The increase
and decrease were due to the Company's fluctuation in cash
available to invest in those periods.
Costs of Products Sold during the third quarter decreased to
$37,820 in 1998 from $120,270 in 1997 and increased for nine
month period to $536,680 in 1998 from $443,320 in 1997. The
fluctuations were primarily due to various orders for the
Functional Electrical Stimulators which have been suspended.
Research and Development expenses during the third quarter
decreased to $1,153,474 in 1998 from $1,541,640 in 1997 and
decreased for the nine month period to $5,167,106 in 1998 from
$5,463,301 in 1997. The decrease was due to a reduction in
research and development expenditures, driven by the Company's
cash flow problems and reduction in personnel.
Selling, General and Administrative expenses during the third
quarter decreased to $2,843,709 in 1998 from $3,408,696 in
1997 and decreased for the nine month period to $8,780,862 in
1998 from $10,009,346 in 1997. The decrease was due to the
Company's reduction in personnel and expenditures.
Results of Operations
In connection with the Company's $8.4 million investment in
HemoCleanse, Inc. (the company which, along with IDT, is
engaged in the hyperthermia project) the Company recorded
approximately 38% of such investment as General and
Administrative expenses; and approximately 62% as Research and
Development expenses. The determination of allocation was
based upon the use of the funds by HemoCleanse, direct
expenses paid, and the overall use of the funds for the
hyperthermia project. The amounts were recorded as expenses,
rather than capitalized, due to the research and development
nature of the use of funds, as well as the financial condition
of HemoCleanse.
Interest expense decreased during the third quarter to $39,947
in 1998 from $87,645 in 1997 and increased to $245,605 for the
nine month period ended September 30, 1998 from $231,047 for
the nine month period ended September 30, 1997. The
fluctuations was primarily due to the Company's varied use of
convertible debentures as a means to generate capital. The
increase was due to the Company's continued efforts in
acquiring capital through 4% convertible debentures and to
Notes Payable in connection with the acquisition of ICTI.
The Company's cash flow problems resulted in a reduction in
personnel during the quarter ended September 30,1998. In
addition, such problems resulted in the Company's inability to
meet its full payroll during June, 1998.
