REMEDENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.
BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic dentistry products, including a full line of professional dental and retail “Over-The-Counter” tooth whitening products which are distributed in Europe, in Asia and the United States. The Company manufactures many of its products in its facility in Deurle, Belgium as well as outsourced manufacturing in China. The Company distributes its products using both its own internal sales force and through the use of third party distributors.

2.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of: Remedent N.V. (incorporated in Belgium) located in Deurle, Belgium, Remedent Professional, Inc. (incorporated in California), Glamtech-USA, Inc. (a Delaware corporation acquired effective August 24, 2008), Remedent OTC B.V., a Dutch Holding company and a 50% owned subsidiary, Sylphar Holding B.V., a Dutch holding company, a 37.50% owned and controlled subsidiary by Remedent Inc., Sylphar N.V., a 100% owned company by Sylphar Holding BV, Sylphar USA, a 100% owned Nevada corporation by Sylphar Holding BV. And Sylphar Asia Pte, a 100% owned Asian company owned by Sylphar Holding BV (collectively, the “Company”).

Remedent, Inc. is a holding company with headquarters in Deurle, Belgium. Remedent Professional, Inc. and Remedent Professional Holdings, Inc. have been dormant since inception. The rebranded Sylphar Asia Pte. Ltd. (former Remedent Asia Pte. Ltd.), commenced operations as of July 2005.

Interim Financial Information

The interim consolidated financial statements of Remedent, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) are condensed and do not include some of the information necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the financial data. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2010. Accordingly, your attention is directed to footnote disclosures found in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2009, and particularly to Note 2, which includes a summary of significant accounting policies.

Pervasiveness of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, bad debts, inventories, fixed assets, intangible assets, stock based compensation, income taxes, and contingencies. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes reasonable in the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basis of Presentation

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 
5

 

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an agreement with a customer; risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales allowances are estimated based upon historical experience of sales returns.

Non-controlling Interest

The Company adopted ASC Topic 810 (formerly SFAS 160) Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 as of April 1, 2009. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. ASC Topic 810 also establishes reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify and distinguish between the interest of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owner. The adoption of ASC Topic 810 impacted the presentation of our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, line of credit and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturities of those instruments. The Company’s long-term debt consists of its revolving credit facility and long-term capital lease obligations. The carrying value of the revolving credit facility approximates fair value because of its variable short-term interest rates.  The fair value of the Company’s long-term capital lease obligations is based on current rates for similar financing.

Comparative Figures

Certain comparative figures have been reclassified in order to conform to the current year’s financial statement presentation.  The reclassifications included the retrospective adoption of ASC Topic 810 as described in Note 2 under “Non-controlling Interest”.  The reclassification had no impact upon previously reported net income available to common stockholders or earnings per share.

Computation of Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company computes net income (loss) per share as follows:  Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period including stock options, using the treasury stock method, and convertible notes, using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential common shares if their effect is anti-dilutive.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

Effective April 1, 2009, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) ASC Topic 855 (formerly FASB 165) “ Subsequent Events .” This Statement establishes the accounting for, and disclosure of, material events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued. In general, these events will be recognized if the condition existed at the date of the balance sheet, and will not be recognized if the condition did not exist at the balance sheet date. Disclosure is required for non-recognized events if required to keep the financial statements from being misleading. The guidance in this Statement is very similar to current guidance provided in auditing literature and, therefore, will not result in significant changes in practice. Subsequent events have been evaluated through the date our interim financial statements were issued—the filing time and date of our third quarter in 2009 on Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 
6

 

 In April 2009, the FASB issued three FASB Staff Positions (FSP’s) (now superseded by the FASB Accounting Standards Codification) that are intended to provide additional application guidance and enhance   disclosures about fair value measurements and impairments of securities.

 
·
ASC Topic 820-10-65 (formerly FSP No. 157-4), “ Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and   Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly ” (FSP 157-4), clarifies the objective and method of fair value measurement even when there has   been a significant decrease in market activity for the asset being  measured.

 
·
ASC Topic 320 (ASC 320-10-65) (formerly FSP No. 115-2 and FSP No. 124-2) “ Recognition and Presentation   of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments ”, (FSP 115-2 and FSP 124-2),   establish a new model for measuring other-than-temporary impairments for   debt securities, including criteria for when to recognize a write-down   through earnings versus other comprehensive income.

ASC Topic 825 (ASC 825-10-65) (formerly FSP No. 107-1 and   APB 28-1) “ Interim Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial   Instruments ”, expand the fair value disclosures required for all   financial instruments within the scope of SFAS, No. 107, “Disclosures   about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1) to   interim periods. This guidance increases the frequency of fair value disclosures from annual only to quarterly. FSP No. 107-1 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP No. 107-1 did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or consolidated financial position, but will enhance required disclosures.

All of these FSP’s are effective for interim and annual   periods ending after June 15, 2009, our quarter ended June 30, 2009.   The adoption of these FSP’s has not had a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition. However, adoption of FSP 107-1 and APB 28-1 during the nine months ended December 31, 2009 has resulted in increased disclosures in our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2009-01 “ Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ” (ASC Topic 105) which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”) as the official single source of authoritative GAAP. All existing accounting standards are superseded. All other accounting guidance not included in the Codification will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification also includes all relevant SEC guidance organized using the same topical structure in separate sections within the Codification.

Following the Codification, the Board will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions or Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Abstracts. Instead, it will issue ASU which will serve to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance and provide the basis for conclusions on the changes to the Codification.

The Codification is not intended to change GAAP, but it will change the way GAAP is organized and presented. The Codification is effective for our second-quarter 2009 financial statements and the principal impact on our financial statements is limited to disclosures as all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be referenced in accordance with the Codification. In order to ease the transition to the Codification, we are providing the Codification cross-reference alongside the references to the standards issued and adopted prior to the adoption of the Codification.

In August 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-05 “Measuring Liabilities at Fair Value” (amendments to ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures)” (“ASU 2009-05”)which amends Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures – Overall (ASC Topic 820-10) to provide guidance on the fair value measurement of liabilities. This update requires clarification for circumstances in which a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available, a reporting entity is required to measure fair value using one or more of the following techniques: 1) a valuation technique that uses either the quoted price of the identical liability when traded as an asset or quoted prices for similar liabilities or similar liabilities when traded as an asset; or 2) another valuation technique that is consistent with the principles in ASC Topic 820 such as the income and market approach to valuation. The amendments in this update also clarify that when estimating the fair value of a liability, a reporting entity is not required to include a separate input or adjustment to other inputs relating to the existence of a restriction that prevents the transfer of the liability. This update further clarifies that if the fair value of a liability is determined by reference to a quoted price in an active market for an identical liability, that price would be considered a Level 1 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. Similarly, if the identical liability has a quoted price when traded as an asset in an active market, it is also a Level 1 fair value measurement if no adjustments to the quoted price of the asset are required. This update is effective for our third quarter 2009. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU No. 2009-05 on our financial statements.

In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, “Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements, (amendments to ASC Topic 605, Revenue Recognition)” (“ASU 2009-13”). ASU 2009-13 requires entities to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of the delivered goods and services based on a selling price hierarchy. The amendments eliminate the residual method of revenue allocation and require revenue to be allocated using the relative selling price method. The standard also expands the disclosure requirements for multiple deliverable revenue arrangements. ASU 2009-13 should be applied on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified in fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We expect to apply this standard on a prospective basis for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified beginning April 1, 2010.  We are currently evaluating the potential impact these standards may have on our financial position and results of operations.

RESTRUCTURING OF OTC BUSINESS

To effectuate the restructuring Plan relating to the management led buyout of the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) business the Company entered into the following series of related agreements:

On December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Sylphar USA, Inc., a newly incorporated Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sylphar USA”), pursuant to which the Company made a capital contribution of certain assets and liabilities relating to the OTC business which was valued at $460,568 to Sylphar USA in exchange for 460,568 shares of common stock, par value $1.00, of Sylphar USA.

On December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Remedent, NV, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of Belgium (“Remedent NV”), pursuant to which the Company purchased a 99% ownership interest in Sylphar, NV, a subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of Belgium, from Remedent NV.  As a result of the Sylphar Purchase Agreement, Sylphar NV became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the 99 shares (“Sylphar Shares”), the Company agreed to pay Remedent NV €1,881,000, which was based on the valuations provided by an independent assessor, by executing an unsecured non-interest bearing promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) on behalf of Remedent NV for the principal amount of €1,000,160 (the “Debt”) and having the remainder balance of €880,840 reflected on the existing intercompany account between Remedent NV and the Company.

Then pursuant to a Deed of Contribution, the Company transferred all of the Company’s ownership interest in its OTC operating subsidiaries, consisting of Sylphar USA, Remedent Asia PTE, Sylphar NV (“OTC Subsidiaries”), into Remedent OTC BV, a Dutch holding company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Remedent OTC”) in exchange for €1,000,160.

Subsequent to the contribution of the OTC Subsidiaries to Remedent OTC, the Company sold fifty percent (50%) of its interest in Remedent OTC to Robin List, a former Chief Executive Officer, President and Director of the Company, in exchange for 723,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company held by Mr. List (“Exchanged Shares”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement on December 10, 2008.  The Exchanged Shares were returned to treasury.  The Exchanged Shares were valued at $1.15 per share, based on the average of the 52 week high and low bid, for an aggregate value of $831,450.   As a result, Mr. List and the Company equally own 50% of Remedent OTC with the Company currently controlling Remedent OTC through its board representations pursuant to the terms of a certain Voting Agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. List concurrently with the Share Purchase Agreement.  The Voting Agreement provides that, the Company will initially have 2 board representations and Mr. List will have 1 board representation.  However upon the occurrence of a “Triggering Event” (as defined in the Voting Agreement), the Company will have 1 board representation and Mr. List will have 2 board representations.

On December 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Investment and Shareholders’ Agreement with Remedent OTC, Concordia Fund V.C., a non-affiliated Dutch private equity fund (“Concordia”), Mr. List, Sylphar Holding, BV, a Dutch holding company and wholly owned subsidiary of Remedent OTC (“Sylphar Holding”) and the OTC Subsidiaries pursuant to which Concordia agreed to purchase shares of Sylphar Holding from Remedent OTC representing a 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €1,000,000 and invest an additional €1,000,000 in Sylphar Holding for an additional 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding, representing an aggregate ownership interest of 25% in Sylphar Holding. Furthermore, Concordia was granted a call option exercisable from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2010, unless otherwise extended to September 30, 2011 pursuant to the terms of such agreement, to purchase an additional 24% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €2,000,000 or any pro rata portion thereof.  The shares of Sylphar Holding are subject to certain drag along rights in the event there is an offer to purchase such shares.  It was further agreed upon that the €1,000,000 received from Concordia would be used to pay off the Debt.  Such funds were received from Concordia and used to pay off the Debt in December 2008.  Subsequently, all of the OTC Subsidiaries were transferred and are currently held and operated by Sylphar Holding.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

Den-Mat Distribution Agreement

On August 24, 2008, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Den-Mat”).   Under the Distribution, the Company appointed Den-Mat to be the sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell certain products relating to the Company’s GlamSmile tray technology, including, but not limited to, its GlamSmile veneer products and other related veneer products (the “Products”), throughout the world, with the exception of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France (including all French overseas territories “Dom-Tom”), Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, and United Arab Emirates (collectively the “Excluded Markets”) and the China Market (the “Territory”).
As consideration for such distribution, licensing and manufacturing rights, Den-Mat will pay the Company:

 
(i)
an initial payment of $2,425,000;
 
(ii)
a payment of $250,000 for each of the first three contract periods in the initial Guaranty Period, subject to certain terms and conditions;
 
(iii)
certain periodic payments as additional paid-up royalties in the aggregate amount of $500,000;
 
(iv)
a payment of $1,000,000 promptly after Den-Mat manufactures a limited quantity of products at a facility owned or leased by Den-Mat;
 
(v)
a payment of $1,000,000 promptly upon completion of certain training of Den-Mat’s personnel;
 
(vi)
a payment of $1,000,000 upon the first to occur of (a) February 1, 2009 or (b) the date thirty (30) days after den-Mat sells GlamSmile Products incorporating twenty thousand (20,000) Units/Teeth to customers regardless of whether Den-Mat has manufactured such Units/Teeth in a Den-Mat facility or has purchased such Units/Teeth from the Company;
(vii)
certain milestone payments; and
(viii)
certain royalty payments.

Further, as consideration for Den-Mat’s obligations under the Distribution Agreement, the Company agreed to, among other things:

 
(i)
issue to Den-Mat or an entity to be designated by Den-Mat, warrants to purchase up to 3,378,379 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.48 per share, exercisable for a period of five years (the “Den-Mat Warrant”) (issued in the period ended September 30, 2008);

 
9

 

 
(ii)
execute and deliver to Den-Mat a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the Warrant Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) which as of March 31, 2009 has not yet been filed; and
 
(iii)
cause its Chairman of the Board, Guy De Vreese, to execute and deliver to Den-Mat a non-competition agreement.

On June 3, 2009, the Distribution Agreement was amended and restated (the “Amended Agreement”). The Amended Agreement modifies and clarifies certain terms and provisions which among other things includes:

(1) the expansion of the list of Excluded Markets to include Spain, Japan, Portugal, South Korea and South Africa for a period of time;
(2) clarification that Den-Mat’s distribution and license rights are non-exclusive to market, sell and distribute the Products directly to consumers through retail locations (“B2C Market”) in the Territory and an undertaking to form a separate subsidiary to and to issue warrants to Den-Mat in the subsidiary in the event that the Company decides to commercially exploit the B2C Market in North America after January 1, 2010;
(3) subject to certain exceptions, a commitment from the Company to use Den-Mat as its supplier to purchase all of its, and its licensee’s, GlamSmile products in the B2C Market from Den-Mat, with reciprocal commitment from Den-Mat to sell such products;
(4) modification of certain defined terms such as “Guaranty Period,” “Exclusivity Period” and addition of the term “Contract Period”; and
(5) the “Guaranty Period” (as defined therein) is no longer a  three year period but has been changed to the first three “Contract Periods”.  The first Contract Period commences on the first day of the Guaranty Period (which the Parties agreed has commenced as of April 1, 2009), and continues for fifteen (15) months or such longer period that would be necessary in order for Den-Mat to purchase a certain minimum number of Units/Teeth as agreed upon in the Amended Agreement (“Minimum Purchase Requirement”) in the event that the Company’s manufacturing capacity falls below a certain threshold.  The second and each subsequent GlamSmile Contract Period begins on the next day following the end of the preceding “Contract Period” and continues for twelve (12) months or such longer period that would be necessary in order for Den-Mat to meet its Minimum Purchase Requirement in the event that the Company’s manufacturing capacity falls below a certain threshold.

In August 2009, the Distribution Agreement was further amended (the “August Amendment”). The August Amendment expands the Company’s products covered under the Distribution Agreement to include the Company’s new Prego System Technology (“Prego System”), also commonly known as “Glamstrip”. Under the Amendment, the $250,000 payment which was originally due upon the expiration of the first Contract Period (as defined in the Distribution Agreement) is now due on the earlier occurrence of (i) sixty days from August 11, 2009 or (ii) the performance of the Company’s live patient clinical demonstration of the Prego System to be performed at Den-Mat’s reasonable satisfaction.

The August Amendment also provides for (a) the royalty rate for products manufactured and sold by Den-Mat using the Prego System after the Guaranty Period (as defined in the Distribution Agreement), (b) Den-Mat’s right to elect to manufacture or purchase from a third party manufacturer any or all portion of the minimum purchase requirements under the Distribution Agreement provided however, that if Den-Mat fails to purchase the minimum number of Units/Teeth as required during any month, Den-Mat may cure such default by paying the Company a certain royalty on the difference between the minimum purchase requirement and the amount actual purchased by Den-Mat during such month, with such royalties accruing and being due and payable upon the earlier occurrence of either (1) one hundred twenty days from August 11, 2009 or (2) the successful performance of the Company’s live patient demonstration of the First Fit Technology licensed to Den-Mat pursuant to the First Fit-Crown Distribution and License Agreement, to be performed at Den-Mat’s reasonable satisfaction; and all shortfall payments thereafter being due and payable within 15 days after the end of the month in which shortfall occurred, and (c) Den-Mat’s option to purchase a certain number of Prego Systems in lieu of Trays during each of the first three Contract Periods pursuant to the terms, including price and conditions, set forth in the Amendment so long as such option is exercised during the period commencing on August 11, 2009 and ending on the later of either 91 days or 31 days after the Company demonstrates to Den-Mat that it has the capacity to produce a certain number of Prego System per Contract Period. Furthermore under the Amendment, if Den-Mat fails to purchase the required minimum Trays during any Contract Period, such failure may be cured by payment equal to the difference between the aggregate purchase price that would have been paid had Den-Mat purchased the required minimum and the aggregate purchase price actually paid for such Contract Year within 30 days after the end of such Contract Period. With the exception of the provisions amended by the Amendment, the Distribution Agreement remains in full force and effect.

First Fit Distribution Agreement

On June 3, 2009, the Company entered into the First Fit-Crown Distribution and License Agreement (the “First Fit Distribution Agreement”) with Den-Mat.  Under the terms of the First Fit Distribution Agreement, the Company appointed Den-Mat to be its sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell certain products relating to the Company’s proprietary First Fit technology (the “First Fit Products”), in the United States, Canada and Mexico (the “First Fit Territory”).  In connection therewith, the Company also granted Den-Mat certain non-exclusive rights to manufacture and produce the First Fit Products in the First-Fit Territory; and a sole and exclusive transferable and sub-licensable right and license to use the Company’s intellectual property rights relating to the First Fit Products to perform its obligations as a distributor (provided the Company retains the right to use and license related intellectual property in connection with the manufacture of the First Fit Products for sale outside of the  First Fit Territory).

Consummation of the First Fit Distribution Agreement is subject to: completion of Den-Mat’s due diligence; execution and delivery of Non-Competition Agreements; and the delivery of the Development Payment and first installment of the License Payment (the “Development Payment” and License Payment” are defined below).

Under the First Fit Distribution Agreement, the Company granted such distribution rights, licensing rights and manufacturing rights, in consideration for the following:  (i) a non-refundable development fee of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) (the “Development Payment”) payable in two installments of $50,000 each, one within seven days after the effective date of the First Fit Distribution Agreement, and another $350,000 payment within twenty one days after the Effective Date ($400,000 received as at June 30, 2009); (ii) a non-refundable license fee of $600,000 payable in three equal installments of $200,000 each, with the first installment payable on the Closing Date, and with the second and third installments payable on the 30 th and 60 th day, respectively, after the Closing Date; (iii) certain royalty payments based on the sales of the First Fit Products by Den-Mat or its sub-licensees; and (iv) certain minimum royalty payments to maintain exclusivity.

Den-Mat’s rights as an exclusive distributor and licensee will continue at least through the first Contract Period (defined below) and until the termination of the First Fit Distribution Agreement.  Den-Mat’s exclusivity ends at the end of any Contract Period in which Den-Mat fails to make certain minimum royalty payments.  In the event that such exclusivity is terminated, Den-Mat has the option to either terminate the First Fit Distribution Agreement upon ninety (90) days written notice, or become a non-exclusive distributor and licensee, in which event Den-Mat’s obligation to pay certain agreed upon royalties would continue.  “Contract Period”  means the following periods: (A) the first eighteen months beginning on the first day of the month following the month in which the Closing occurs, provided that if Den-Mat is not fully operational within sixty days after the Closing Date, the first Contract Period will be extended by one day for each day after the sixtieth day until Den-Mat becomes fully operational; (B) the subsequent twelve months; and (C) each subsequent twelve month period thereafter, in each case during which the First Fit Distribution Agreement is in effect.

5.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Financial Instruments — Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable.

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are normally limited due to the number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographic areas. At December 31, 2009, five customers accounted for a total of 47% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable.  At December 31, 2008, two customers accounted for a total of 69% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable.  The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and normally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.

 
11

 

Purchases — The Company has diversified its sources for product components and finished goods and, as a result, the loss of a supplier would not have a material impact on the Company’s operations. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 the Company had five suppliers who accounted for 34% of gross purchases.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 the Company had five suppliers who accounted for 29% of gross purchases.

Revenues — For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 the Company had five customers that accounted for 51% of total revenues.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 the Company had five customers that accounted for 55% of total revenues.

LONG TERM INVESTMENTS AND ADVANCES

Innovative Medical & Dental Solutions, LLC (“IMDS, LLC”)

Effective July 15, 2007 the Company entered into a Limited Liability Company Merger and Equity Reallocation Agreement (the “Participation Agreement”) through its subsidiary, Remedent N.V. Pursuant to the terms of the Participation Agreement, the Company acquired a 10% equity interest in IMDS, LLC in consideration for $300,000 which was converted against IMDS receivables.

The agreement stipulates certain exclusive worldwide rights to certain tooth whitening technology, and the right to purchase at standard cost certain whitening lights and accessories and to sell such lights in markets not served by the LLC. The terms of the Participation Agreement also provide that Remedent N.V. has the first right to purchase additional equity. Parties to the Participation Agreement include two officers of IMDS, LLC, and an individual who is both an officer and director of Remedent Inc., and certain unrelated parties.

IMDS, LLC is registered with the Secretary of the State of Florida as a limited liability company and with the Secretary of the State of California as a foreign corporation authorized to operate in California. IMDS, LLC is merging with White Science World Wide, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of the State of Georgia. The merged companies are operating as a single entity as IMDS, LLC, a Florida limited liability company.

As of December 31, 2009 the Company had recorded a 100% allowance against its investment in IMDS because IMDS financial information is unavailable.  The provision will be re-evaluated as soon as information becomes available.

Soca Networks Singapore (“Soca”)

Pursuant to the terms of a letter of intent dated December 17, 2007, the Company has agreed to purchase 20% of Soca for a total purchase price of $750,000. Half of the purchase price has been advanced $375,000 to Soca as a down payment, pending completion of the agreement terms. The balance of $375,000 was paid through the issuance of 220,588 common shares of the Company’s common stock. The final agreement is currently being negotiated and management expects to close the agreement, and issue the 220,588 common shares during the the first quarter of 2010.

11.
LICENSED PATENTS

Teeth Whitening Patents

In October 2004, the Company acquired from the inventor the exclusive, perpetual license to two issued United States patents which are applicable to several teeth whitening products currently being marketed by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to manufacture, market, distribute and sell the products contemplated by the patents subject to the payment of $65,000 as reimbursement to the patent holder for legal and other costs associated with obtaining the patents, which was paid in October 2004, and royalties for each unit sold subject to an annual minimum royalty of $100,000 per year. The Company is amortizing the initial cost of $65,000 for these patents over a ten year period and accordingly has recorded $34,125 of accumulated amortization for this patent as of December 31, 2009. The Company accrues this royalty when it becomes payable to inventory therefore no provision has been made for this obligation as of December 31, 2009 (March 31, 2009-Nil).

Universal Applicator Patent

In September 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Lident N.V. (“Lident”), a company controlled by Mr. De Vreese, the Company’s Chairman, to obtain an option, exercisable through December 31, 2005, to license an international patent (excluding the US) and worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights for a potential new product which Lident had been assigned certain rights by the inventors of the products, who are unrelated parties, prior to Mr. De Vreese association with the Company. The patent is an Italian patent which relates to a single use universal applicator for dental pastes, salves, creams, powders, liquids and other substances where manual application could be relevant. The Company has filed to have the patent approved throughout Europe. The agreement required the Company to advance to the inventors through Lident a fully refundable deposit of €100,000 subject to the Company’s due diligence regarding the enforceability of the patent and marketability of the product, which, if viable, would be assigned to the Company for additional consideration to the inventors of €100,000 and an ongoing royalty from sales of products related to the patent equal to 3% of net sales and, if not viable, the deposit would be repaid in full by Lident. The consideration the Company had agreed to pay Lident upon the exercise of the option is the same as the consideration Lident is obligated to pay the original inventors. Consequently, Lident would not have profited from the exercise of the option. Furthermore, at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors on July 13, 2005, the Board accepted Lident’s offer to facilitate an assignment of Lident’s intellectual property rights to the technology to the Company in exchange for the reimbursement of Lident’s actual costs incurred relating to the intellectual property. Consequently, when the Company exercises the option, all future payments, other than the reimbursement of costs would be paid directly to the original inventors and not to Lident.

On December 12, 2005, the Company exercised the option and the Company and the patent holder agreed to revise the assignment agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay €50,000 additional compensation in the form of prepaid royalties instead of the €100,000 previously agreed, €25,000 of which was paid by the Company in September 2005 and the remaining €25,000 is to be paid upon the Company’s first shipment of a product covered by the patent. As of December 31, 2009 the Company has not yet received the final Product. The patent is being amortized over five (5) years and accordingly, the Company has recorded $97,069 of accumulated amortization for this patent as of December 31, 2009.

12.
LINE OF CREDIT

On October 8, 2004, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Remedent N.V., obtained a mixed-use line of credit facility with Fortis Bank, a Belgian bank, for €1,070,000 (the “Facility”). The Facility was secured by a first lien on the assets of Remedent N.V. The purpose of the Facility is to provide working capital and to finance certain accounts receivable as necessary. Since opening the Facility in 2004, Remedent N.V. and Fortis Bank have subsequently amended the Facility several times to increase or decrease the line of credit. On May 3, 2005 the Facility was amended to decrease the line of credit to €1,050,000. On March 13, 2006 the Facility was amended to increase the mixed-use line of credit to €2,300,000, consisting of a €1,800,000 credit line based on the eligible accounts receivable and a €500,000 general line of credit. The latest amendment to the Facility, dated January 3, 2008, amended and decreased the mixed-use line of credit to €2,050,000, to be used by Remedent NV and/or Sylphar NV. Each line of credit carries its own interest rates and fees as provided in the Facility and vary from the current prevailing bank rate of approximately 2.9%, for draws on the credit line, to 9.9% for advances on accounts receivable. Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V. are currently only utilizing two lines of credit, advances based on account receivables and the straight loan. As of December 31, 2009 and March 31, 2009, Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V. had in aggregate, $1,186,103 and $660,200 in advances outstanding, respectively, under this mixed-use line of credit facility.

The Company valued the above noted 470,000 warrants that vested during the period ended December 31, 2009 at $168,238, using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of 110 – 117%; risk free interest rate of 1.10% - 1.30% and an average life of 2.6 - 3 years resulting in a value of $0.19 - $0.39 per option granted.  This was a non-cash expense.

During the year ended March 31, 2009 the Company granted 3,378,379 warrants pursuant to a Distribution Agreement (Note 4) which were valued at $4,323,207 based upon the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing a market price on the date of grant of $1.48 per share, an annualized volatility of 131%, a risk free interest rate of 3.07% and an expected life of five years.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward Looking Statements

The discussion contained herein is for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2009.  In addition to historical information, this section contains “forward-looking” statements, including statements regarding the growth of product lines, optimism regarding the business, expanding sales and other statements. Words such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes, sees, estimates and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties that are difficult to predict. Actual results could vary materially from the description contained herein due to many factors including continued market acceptance of our products. In addition, actual results could vary materially based on changes or slower growth in the oral care and cosmetic dentistry products market; the potential inability to realize expected benefits and synergies; domestic and international business and economic conditions; changes in the dental industry; unexpected difficulties in penetrating the oral care and cosmetic dentistry products market; changes in customer demand or ordering patterns; changes in the competitive environment including pricing pressures or technological changes; technological advances; shortages of manufacturing capacity; future production variables impacting excess inventory and other risk factors.  Factors that could cause or contribute to any differences are discussed in “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on June 29, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Except as required by applicable law or regulation, the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update any forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2009. The information contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2009 is not a complete description of the Company’s business or the risks associated with an investment in the Company’s common stock. Each reader should carefully review and consider the various disclosures made by the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Overview

We specialize in the research, development, and manufacturing of oral care and cosmetic dentistry products.  We are one of the leading manufacturers of cosmetic dentistry products in Europe.  Leveraging our knowledge of regulatory requirements regarding dental products and management’s experience in the needs of the professional dental community, we design, develop, manufacture and distribute our cosmetic dentistry products, including a full line of professional dental products that are distributed in Europe, Asia and the United States.  We manufacture many of our products at our facility in Deurle, Belgium as well as outsourced manufacturing in China.  We distribute our products using both our own internal sales force and through the use of third party distributors.

Net Sales
 
Net sales decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2009 by $3,008,607 or 62.1%, to $1,834,021 as compared to $4,842,628 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. We experienced a sales decrease for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 of $5,474,061 or 48.7%, to $5,775,125 as compared to $11,249,186 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease in sales is primarily due to the non-recurrence of license fees received from Denmat, specifically $2,500,000 during the three months ended December 31, 2008 and a total of $4,925,000 in the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales decreased for the three months ended December 31, 2009 by $1,937,284, or 66.6% to $972,247 as compared to $2,909,531 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. Accordingly, cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from 60% for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 to 53% for the quarter ended December 31, 2009. Cost of sales as a percentage of sales has decreased because of reduced production costs of our veneer product.

Our cost of sales decreased for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 by $1,593,917, or 32.1%, to $3,370,491 as compared to $4,964,408 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, has increased to 58.36% in the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 as opposed to 44.13% in the nine month period ended December 31, 2008.  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales increased mainly because of the non-recurring license fees and the settlement and return of goods from a large OTC customer.

Gross Profit
 
Our gross profit decreased by $1,071,323 or 55.4%, to $861,774 for the three month period ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $1,933,097 for the three month period ended December 31, 2008. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from approximately 40% in the three months ended December 31, 2008 to 46.9% for the three months ended December 31, 2009. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of sales was the result of the realization of reduced production costs of our veneer products, which are currently produced in Europe and China.

Our gross profit decreased by $3,880,144 or 61.7%, to $2,404,634 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $6,284,778 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2008. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales decreased to 41.64% in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to 55.87% for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.

 The decrease in gross profit is the result of the licensee fees as noted above and the agreed settlement with a large OTC customer.

Operating Expenses
 
Research and Development 

Research and development expenses increased by $98,219 or 188.9%, to $150,225 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $52,006 for the three months ended December 31, 2008.

Our research and development expenses increased by $6,966 to $231,345 or 3.1%, for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $224,379 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.  

Research and development has increased in both the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2009 primarily because of our work with respect to the “First-Fit concept”.

Sales and marketing costs

Sales and marketing costs decreased by $509,251, or 55.8%, to $403,171 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $912,422 for the three months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is largely due to decreased provisions for commissions in relation to our sales people in reference to the named settlement and the non-recurring costs of a direct US veneer sales office that was included in the quarter ending December 31, 2008.

Our sales and marketing costs decreased by $1,532,746 or 63.2%, to $891,182 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $2,423,928 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease is largely due to the Company’s USA sales reorganization.  As discussed above, rather than funding a direct sales office in the USA, the Company has chosen to sell into the USA via a distributor, thereby significantly reducing sales and marketing costs including sales commissions.
 
General and administrative costs

General and administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1,065,114 and $1,268,500 respectively, representing a decrease of $203,386 or 16%. The decrease in general and administrative costs as compared to the prior year is the result of our USA reorganization.

Our general and administrative costs for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were $3,210,512 and $3,672,536 respectively, representing a decrease of $462,024 or 12.6%.  The Company’s general and administrative costs have also decreased as a result of the Company’s USA sales reorganization, as noted above.

Depreciation and amortization

Our depreciation and amortization expense increased from $167,399  to $206,923 for the three months ended December 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of 23.6%.

Our depreciation and amortization increased $116,510 or 26.4%, to $558,281 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to $441,771 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.  The increase is mostly due to the investment in a semi-automatic production machine for the production of our foam strips, which will allow us to significantly increase our production capacity. This investment allowed us to streamline and improve production significantly with resultant increases in capacity and quality as well as decreased costs. Secondly, investments are being made in software and related hardware to bring the design of veneers to the next level which will allow the dentist to modify the design of the final product, gaining substantial time in the production process.

Other income (expense)

Net interest expense decreased by $111,744 to $56,915 from $168,659 during the three months ended December 31, 2009 over the comparable three months ended December 31, 2008. For the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the net interest expense decreased by $129,407 from $250,175 to $120,768.The decrease is mainly the result of decreased utilization of our bank credit facility.

Our net other income (expense) for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 decreased by $2,993,026, from $2,951,940 to ($41,086).  Our net other income (expense) was ($173,669) for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to ($1,395,316) for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, an increase of $1,221,647, or 87.55%. The main reason for this expense increase  is the non-recurring cost of the warrants that were issued to DenMat, offset by the gain on sale of the Company’s OTC division.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

We believe we currently possess sufficient resources to meet the cash requirements of our operations for at least the next year. Our basis for this is the following.

 
·
During December 2008, we implemented cost reduction measures, including the re-organization of our direct sales office in the United States of America.
 
·
During December 2008, we restructured our over-the-counter (OTC) business.
 
·
As a result of our distribution agreements, we have begun the process of reducing our operations in the United States, which will significantly reduce our costs.
 
·
We continue to review our inventory and plan to reduce levels held.
 
·
We do not expect to purchase or sell any property or equipment over the next 12 months.
 
·
We do not expect a significant change in the number of our employees over the next 12 months.

We believe that we will have sufficient resources to meet our obligations and sustain our operations for the remainder of fiscal year 2010.  However, we are substantially dependent on our major distributor and the continued performance of this distributor to make committed purchases of our products and associated consumables under the distribution agreement and the receipt of cash in connection with those purchases, is essential to our liquidity.

During the past nine months, the balance on our line of credit has increased by $525,903 from $660,200 at March 31, 2009 to $1,186,103 at December 31, 2009.  The increase in our use of the line of credit is approximately equal to the decrease in our accounts payable and the combined increase in our accounts receivable and inventories.  At December 31, 2009 we believe we have approximately $1,761,183 available under our line of credit.   We believe that the combination of the above factors, the availability of the balance of our line of credit, and our effective management of our use of cash will minimize our requirement to seek additional financing.  However, in the event that we are required to seek additional funding through public or private equity or debt, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain requisite financing to fund existing obligations and operating requirements on acceptable terms or at all.

Cash and Cash equivalents

Our balance sheet at December 31, 2009 reflects cash and cash equivalents of $1,386,231 as compared to $1,807,271 as of March 31, 2009, a decrease of $421,040. The decrease of cash and cash equivalents is primarily as a result of an overall net decrease in cash of approximately $513,198 during the period, reduced by foreign exchange gains on cash transactions of approximately $92,158.  Operating cash transactions of significance included the collection of approximately $2,060,000 of our accounts receivable and the payment of approximately $400,000 in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Operations

Net cash used by operations decreased by $1,224,246 resulting in net cash used by operations of $651,757 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to net cash used by operations of $1,876,003 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. The decrease in net cash used by operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2008 is attributable to several factors.  

The 2009 net loss of $2,660,335 is reduced by non-cash adjustments totaling $1,035,059 and further reduced primarily by the following use of cash for: (1) inventories of $478,031, (2) prepaid expense of $201,681, and (3) accrued liabilities of $869,273 and (4)  accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $406,136.

The 2008 net loss of $1,873,152 was offset by two significant non-cash items (1) the $4,323,207 value of the Den-Mat warrants; and (2) the $2,830,953 gain on the disposition of Sylphar, resulting in a net use of cash of $380,898.  The use of cash was further increased by an increase of (1) accounts receivable of $709,731; (2) inventories of $575,894; and (3) prepaid expenses of $612,329, and (4) accounts payable of $558,352.  

As of the date of this filing, there has been no indication of a trend of increased doubtful accounts or slower payments.  As a result, at this time, we do not anticipate increased reserves.

Investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $550,974 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $455,694 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. Cash used in the nine months ended December 31, 2009 was mainly for machinery and related software to support our increasing number of veneer designs.    
 
Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was mainly for equipment to be used in the production process of Veneers, additional hardware equipment in support of our GlamSmile product line in combination with our new designed software which allows the dentist to modify the production process, investments made for moldings concerning the GlamSmile product group, and moldings for new OTC products.

Financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $689,533 for the nine months ended December 31, 2009, as compared to $2,954,967 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.  The decrease in the net cash provided by financing activities in the nine month period ended December 31, 2008 was primarily because we received a one time payment in 2008 of $2,782,000 with respect to the sale of Sylphar.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we recognized an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $92,158 and $218,337, respectively, from the effect of exchange rates between the Euro and the US Dollar.
