Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited but in the opinion of management contain all the adjustments (consisting of those of a normal recurring nature) considered necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flow for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
Operating results for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2015. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2014.

Principles of Consolidation and Nature of Operations
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, The Female Health Company-UK, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, The Female Health Company-UK, plc and The Female Health Company (M) SDN.BHD. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation. The Female Health Company (FHC or the Company) is currently engaged in the marketing, manufacture and distribution of a consumer health care product, the FC2 Female Condom (FC2). The Female Health Company-UK, is the holding company of The Female Health Company-UK, plc, which is located in a 6,400 sq. ft. leased office facility located in London, England. The Female Health Company (M) SDN.BHD leases a 45,800 sq. ft. manufacturing facility located in Selangor D.E., Malaysia.
Since the Company began distributing FC2 in 2007, it has been shipped to either or both commercial (private sector) and public health sector markets in 144 countries. It is marketed to consumers through distributors, public health programs and retailers in 16 countries.
The Company's standard credit terms vary from 30 to 120 days, depending on the class of trade and customary terms within a territory, so accounts receivable is affected by the mix of purchasers within the quarter. As is typical in the Company's business, extended credit terms may occasionally be offered as a sales promotion. For the past twelve months, the Company's average days’ sales outstanding has averaged approximately 78 days. Over the past five years, the Company’s bad debt expense has been less than 0.03 percent of product sales. The balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts was $48,068 at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014.

| Restricted Cash |
Restricted cash
Restricted cash relates to security provided to one of the Company’s U.K. banks for performance bonds issued in favor of customers. The Company has a facility of $250,000 for such performance bonds. Such security has been extended infrequently and only on occasions where it has been a contract term expressly stipulated as an absolute requirement by the funds’ provider. The expiration of the bond is defined by the completion of the event such as, but not limited to, a period of time after the product has been distributed or expiration of the product shelf life. Restricted cash was $83,828 and $55,806 at March 31, 2015 and September 30, 2014, respectively, and is included in cash on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Foreign Currency and Change in Functional Currency
The Company recognized a foreign currency transaction gain of $28,467 and $49,313 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2015, respectively, compared to a loss of $23,968 and $42,394 for the three and six months ended March 31, 2014, respectively. The consistent use of the U.S. dollar as the functional currency across the Company reduces its foreign currency risk and stabilizes its operating results. As a result of the U.S. dollar being the functional currency of the Company and all of its subsidiaries, comprehensive income is equivalent to the reported net income.
