NOTE
1 - 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 months ended December 31, 2011, are not
necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected
for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2012. 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,
2011.
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 16,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility located in
Selangor D.E., Malaysia.
The
FC2 female condom is currently sold or available in either or
both commercial (private sector) and public health sector
markets in 121 countries. The product is marketed directly to
consumers in 14 countries by various country-specific
commercial partners.
The
Company also derives revenue from licensing its intellectual
property under an agreement with its exclusive distributor in
India, Hindustan Lifecare Limited
(“HLL”). HLL is authorized to
manufacture FC2 at HLL's facility in Kochi, India for sale in
India. HLL is the Company's exclusive distributor
in India and the Company receives a royalty based on the
number of units sold by HLL in India. Such revenue
appears as royalty income on the Consolidated Statements of
Income for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010,
and is recognized in the period in which the sale is made by
HLL.
The
Company's standard credit terms vary from 30 to 90 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 45 days. Over
the past five years, the Company’s bad debt expense has
been less than .04% of product sales. The balance
in the allowance for doubtful accounts was approximately
$10,000 at December 31, 2011 and at September 30,
2011.
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. 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, delivery of goods or at a period of time after
product has been distributed.
Foreign
Currency and Change in Functional Currency
Prior
to October 1, 2009 the functional currency of the
Company’s subsidiaries was the local currency, in
accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic
830, Foreign Currency
Matters. Effective October 1, 2009, the
Company determined that there were significant changes in
facts and circumstances and the Company's subsidiaries
adopted the U.S. dollar as their functional currency. The
Company recognized a foreign currency transaction loss of
$52,306 for the three months ended December 31, 2011,
compared to a loss of $30,906 for the three months ended
December 31, 2010. The consistent use of the U.S.
dollar as functional currency across the Company reduces its
foreign currency risk and stabilizes its operating
results.
Reclassifications
Certain
items in the December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2011
consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
conform to the December 31, 2011 presentation.
