Organization

Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the State of California in April 1999 and was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in December 2006. The Company’s principal office is located in Petaluma, California. The Company is a specialty pharmaceutical company that develops and markets solutions for the treatment of dermatological conditions and advanced tissue care. The Company’s products, which are sold throughout the United States and 39 countries around the world, have improved patient outcomes for more than five million patients globally by reducing infections, itch, pain, scarring, odor and harmful inflammatory responses.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the three and six months then ended have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and on the same basis as the Company prepares its annual audited consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2016, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended September 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending March 31, 2017 or for any future interim period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2016 has been derived from audited consolidated financial statements. However, it does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, 2016, and notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on June 21, 2016.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective June 24, 2016, the Company effected a reverse stock split of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share. Every 5 shares of common stock were reclassified and combined into one share of common stock. No fractional shares were issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, stockholders entitled to receive fractional shares received cash in the amount equal to the closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Capital Market as of 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on June 24, 2016, multiplied by the fraction of one share owned by the stockholder. The reverse stock split reduced the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding from 21,004,857 to 4,200,756. The total number of authorized shares of common stock was also proportionally decreased by a ratio of 1:5 and the par value per share of the common stock continued to be $0.0001.

All common shares and per share amounts contained in the condensed consolidated financial statements have been retroactively adjusted to reflect a 1 for 5 reverse stock split.

The Company reported a net loss of $4,517,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, the Company’s accumulated deficit amounted to $156,892,000 and $152,375,000, respectively. The Company had working capital of $5,240,000 and $9,337,000 as of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. The Company expects to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue its product development initiatives, penetrate markets for the sale of its products and continue as a going concern.

On October 27, 2016, the Company, along with its Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of its Latin America assets. Specifically, the Company agreed to sell certain patents, patent applications, trademarks, and manufacturing equipment for Mexico, the Caribbean and South America, excluding the sale of dermatology products in Brazil.

The aggregate purchase price that Invekra will pay for the assets is $22,000,000, of which $18,000,000 was paid upon closing, $1,500,000 will be held in escrow until completion of its obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 will be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly installments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is to be paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 due to currency fluctuations (See Subsequent Events Note 11).

The Company currently anticipates that its cash and cash equivalents, including the proceeds from the sale to Invekra, will be sufficient to meet its working capital requirements to continue its sales and marketing and research and development efforts for at least 12 months from the date of filing this quarterly report.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance relating to the Company’s deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, debt discounts, valuation of investments, and the estimated amortization periods of upfront product licensing fees received from customers. Periodically, the Company evaluates and adjusts estimates accordingly. The allowance for doubtful accounts represents probable credit losses of $2,000 and $15,000 at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, respectively. Additionally at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016 the Company has allowances of $788,000 and $653,000, respectively, related to potential discounts, returns, distributor fees and rebates. The allowances are included in Accounts Receivable, net in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Net Loss per Share

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. The following were excluded from the computation of diluted shares outstanding due to the losses for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, as they would have had an anti-dilutive impact on the Company’s net loss (all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand).

Common Stock Purchase Warrants and Other Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company classifies common stock purchase warrants and other free standing derivative financial instruments as equity if the contracts (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) give the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). The Company classifies any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company), (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement), or (iii) contain reset provisions as either an asset or a liability. The Company assesses classification of its freestanding derivatives at each reporting date to determine whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. The Company determined that its freestanding derivatives, which principally consist of warrants to purchase common stock, satisfied the criteria for classification as equity instruments.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

The Company generates revenue from sales of its products to a customer base including hospitals, medical centers, doctors, pharmacies, distributors and wholesalers. The Company sells products directly to end users and to distributors. The Company also entered into agreements to license its technology and products.

The Company also provides regulatory compliance testing and quality assurance services to medical device and pharmaceutical companies.

The Company records revenue when (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the fee is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability of the sale is reasonably assured.

The Company requires all product sales to be supported by evidence of a sale transaction that clearly indicates the selling price to the customer, shipping terms and payment terms. Evidence of an arrangement generally consists of a contract or purchase order approved by the customer. The Company has ongoing relationships with certain customers from which it customarily accepts orders by telephone in lieu of purchase orders.

The Company recognizes revenue at the time it receives confirmation that the goods were either tendered at their destination, when shipped “FOB destination,” or transferred to a shipping agent, when shipped “FOB shipping point.” Delivery to the customer is deemed to have occurred when the customer takes title to the product. Generally, title passes to the customer upon shipment, but could occur when the customer receives the product based on the terms of the agreement with the customer.

The selling prices of all goods are fixed, and agreed to with the customer, prior to shipment. Selling prices are generally based on established list prices. The right to return product is customarily based on the terms of the agreement with the customer. The Company estimates and accrues for potential returns and records this as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. Additionally, distribution fees are paid to certain wholesale distributors based on contractually determined rates. The Company estimates and accrues the fee on shipment to the respective wholesale distributors and recognizes the fee as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. The Company also offers cash discounts to certain customers, generally 2% of the sales price, as an incentive for prompt payment. The Company accounts for cash discounts by reducing accounts receivable by the prompt pay discount amount and recognizes the discount as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized. Additionally, the Company participates in certain rebate programs which provide discounted prescriptions to qualified patients. The Company contracts a third-party to administer the program. The Company estimates and accrues for future rebates based on historical data for rebate redemption rates and the historical value of redemptions. Rebates are recognized as a reduction of revenue in the same period the related revenue is recognized.

The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of new customers and monitors the creditworthiness of its existing customers to determine whether an event or changes in their financial circumstances would raise doubt as to the collectability of a sale at the time in which a sale is made. Payment terms on sales made in the United States are generally 30 days and are extended up to 90 days for initial product launches, payment terms internationally generally range from prepaid prior to shipment to 90 days.

In the event a sale is made to a customer under circumstances in which collectability is not reasonably assured, the Company either requires the customer to remit payment prior to shipment or defers recognition of the revenue until payment is received. The Company maintains a reserve for amounts which may not be collectible due to risk of credit losses.

Product license revenue is generated through agreements with strategic partners for the commercialization of Microcyn® products. The terms of the agreements sometimes include non-refundable upfront fees. The Company analyzes multiple element arrangements to determine whether the elements can be separated. Analysis is performed at the inception of the arrangement and as each product is delivered. If a product or service is not separable, the combined deliverables are accounted for as a single unit of accounting and recognized over the performance obligation period.

When appropriate, the Company defers recognition of non-refundable upfront fees. If the Company has continuing performance obligations then such up-front fees are deferred and recognized over the period of continuing involvement.

The Company recognizes royalty revenues from licensed products upon the sale of the related products.

Revenue from consulting contracts is recognized as services are provided. Revenue from testing contracts is recognized as tests are completed and a final report is sent to the customer.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, cost being determined on a standard cost basis (which approximates actual cost on a first-in, first-out basis), or market.

Due to changing market conditions, estimated future requirements, age of the inventories on hand and production of new products, the Company regularly reviews inventory quantities on hand and records a provision to write down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The Company recorded reserves to reduce the carrying amounts of inventories to their net realizable value in the amounts of $163,000 and $164,000 at September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016.

Income Taxes

The Company is required to determine the aggregate amount of income tax expense or loss based upon tax statutes in jurisdictions in which it conducts business. In making these estimates, the Company adjusts its results determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for items that are treated differently by the applicable taxing authorities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from these differences are reflected on its balance sheet for temporary differences in loss and credit carryforwards that will reverse in subsequent years. The Company also establishes a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Valuation allowances are based, in part, on predictions that management must make as to the results in future periods. The outcome of events could differ over time which would require that the Company makes changes in its valuation allowance.

Financial Assets and Liabilities

Financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities are carried at cost, which management believes approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of capital lease obligations and equipment loans approximates their carrying amounts as a market rate of interest is attached to their repayment. The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company uses three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)

Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s accounting and finance department, who report to the Chief Financial Officer, determine its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s accounting and finance department and are approved by the Chief Financial Officer.

Level 3 Valuation Techniques:

Level 3 financial liabilities consist of the derivative liabilities for which there is no current market for these securities such that the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation. Changes in fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy are analyzed each period based on changes in estimates or assumptions and recorded as appropriate.

As of September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.

Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated subsequent events or transactions occurring through the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued (See Subsequent Events Note 11).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 Financial Instruments-Overall, which address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is permitted under specific circumstances. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact of this standard on its financial statements.

Accounting standards that have been issued or proposed by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), SEC and/or other standards-setting bodies that do not require adoption until a future date are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.

Inventories, net

Inventories, net consist of the following:

Notes Payable

On January 25, 2016, the Company entered into a note agreement for $146,000 with an interest rate of 6.25% per annum. This instrument was issued in connection with financing insurance premiums. The note is payable in monthly installments of $16,000 with the final payment on October 25, 2016. During the six months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made principal and interest payments of $98,000 and $2,000, respectively. The remaining balance of this note amounted to $16,000 at September 30, 2016 which is included in the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On August 10, 2016, the Company entered into a note agreement for $26,000 with an interest rate of 2.49% per year, and monthly payment of $600. This instrument was issued in connection with the financing of an automobile. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company made principal and interest payments related to this note in the amounts of $2,000 and $50, respectively. The remaining balance of this note amounted to $24,000 at September 30, 2016, of which $5,000 is included in the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

On September 27, 2016, the Company entered into a note agreement for $38,000 with an interest rate of 0%, and monthly payment of $400. This instrument was issued in connection with the financing of an automobile. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company did not pay principal related to this note. The remaining balance of this note amounted to $38,000 at September 30, 2016, of which $7,000 is included in the current portion of long-term debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Legal Matters

The Company, on occasion, may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of its business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which the Company is or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations.

Employment Agreements

On July 26, 2016, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with Jim Schutz, its President and Chief Executive Officer to update his agreements and responsibilities. The terms of the new employment agreement provide for a continued annual base salary of $250,000 or such other amount as the Board of Directors may set. In addition, Mr. Schutz is eligible to receive an annual bonus, the payment, type and amount of which is in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Schutz also receives certain benefits, such as participation in our health and welfare plans, vacation and reimbursement of expenses.

As of September 30, 2016 the Company had employment agreements in place with four of its key executives. The agreements provide, among other things, for the payment of nine to twenty-four months of severance compensation for terminations under certain circumstances. With respect to these agreements, at September 30, 2016, aggregated annual salaries would be $944,000 and potential severance payments to these key executives would be $1,194,000, if triggered.

Authorized Capital

The Company is authorized to issue up to 12,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share and 714,286 shares of convertible preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share.

Common Stock Issued Services Provider

On April 24, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Advocos LLC, a contract sales organization that serves as part of the Company’s sales force, for the sale of the Company’s wound care products in the United States. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company agreed to pay the contract sales organization a monthly fee and potential bonuses that will be based on achievement of certain levels of sales. The Company agreed to issue the contract sales organization cash or shares of common stock to settle fees for its services. During the six months ended September 30, 2015, the Company issued 135,485 shares of common stock, with a fair market value of $203,000, in connection with this agreement. The Company has determined that the fair value of the common stock was more readily determinable than the fair value of the services rendered. During the six months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded $107,000 of expense related to stock issued pursuant to this agreement and settled $96,000 of fees accrued in prior periods. The expense was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the six months ended September 30, 2015. This agreement was terminated on September 28, 2016. Pursuant to the termination agreement the Company agreed to pay outstanding fees of $111,000, issue 14,390 shares of common stock with a current fair value of $62,000, and transfer certain assets valued at $62,000 related to a product line the Company deemed to be non-core and immaterial to its operations. The expense was recorded as selling, general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the six months ended September 30, 2016.

Performance Based Awards Program

The Company’s Compensation Committee approved a short-term performance based bonus program for fiscal 2016 with predetermined objectives related to revenue and expense targets. In the event the fiscal 2016 objectives were met, eighty-percent of the options would have vested on June 30, 2016. On August 21, 2015, certain executives and senior managers were granted an aggregate of 75,500 stock options in connection with this program. The stock options have an exercise price of $5.80 and expire ten years from the date of grant. At March 31, 2016, it was determined targets were met related to 50,400 stock options which vested on June 30, 2016. At March 31, 2016, 10,000 stock options expired due to targets that were not met. The vesting of the remaining 15,100 stock options was at the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee to be determined during the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s Compensation Committee determined 14,772 of the 15,100 discretionary stock options vested at June 30, 2016 and 228 of the discretionary stock options expired unvested.

The Company also approved a long-term market-based stock option bonus program for senior managers. Vesting of the stock options granted as part of this program is contingent upon the achievement of four separate target stock prices. The market-based options vest based on the 30 trading day trailing average of the stock price of the Company’s common stock with options vesting in 25% increments at each of the target stock prices. On the last day of each quarter, the chief executive officer and/or chief financial officer will determine if any of the target stock prices have been met by evaluating the period between the quarter end date and the grant date of the option. In the event that a target stock price has been met, the senior manager will be notified that such options have vested. At the end of five years from the date of the grant, if the stock target prices have not been met, then the unvested portion of the option will expire. On August 21, 2015, certain senior managers were granted an aggregate of 23,750 stock options in connection with this program. The stock options have an exercise price of $5.80 and if they vest will expire ten years from the date of grant. None of these options vested as of September 30, 2016.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company issues service, performance and market-based stock options to employees and non-employees. The Company estimates the fair value of service and performance stock option awards using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company estimates the fair value of market-based stock option awards using a Monte-Carlo simulation. Compensation expense for stock option awards is amortized on a straight-line basis over the awards’ vesting period. Compensation expense includes the impact of an estimate for forfeitures for all stock options.

The expected term of the stock options represents the average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding and is based on the expected term calculated using the approach prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 110 for “plain vanilla” options. The expected stock price volatility for the Company’s stock options was determined by using an average of the historical volatilities of the Company and its industry peers. The Company will continue to analyze the stock price volatility and expected term assumptions as more data for the Company’s common stock and exercise patterns become available. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based on the U.S. Treasury instruments whose term was consistent with the expected term of the Company’s stock options. The expected dividend assumption is based on the Company’s history and expectation of dividend payouts. The Company estimates forfeitures based on historical experience and reduces compensation expense accordingly. The estimated forfeiture rates used during the six months ended September 30, 2016 ranged from 4.65% to 6.01%. The estimated forfeiture rates used during the six months ended September 30, 2015 ranged from 1.18% to 1.81%.

The Company estimated the fair value of employee and non-employee stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The fair value of employee stock options is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the respective awards. The fair value of employee stock options was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions:

Share-based awards compensation expense is as follows:

At September 30, 2016, there were unrecognized compensation costs of $981,000 related to stock options which are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average amortization period of 1.21 years.

Stock-Based Award Activity

Stock-based awards outstanding at September 30, 2016 under the various plans are as follows:

Stock options award activity is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying stock options and the fair value of the Company’s common stock, or $4.34 per share at September 30, 2016.

Restricted stock award activity is as follows:

Restricted stock awards were issued to non-employee directors for services in the six months ended September 30, 2016.

No income tax benefit has been recognized relating to stock-based compensation expense and no tax benefits have been realized from exercised stock options.

The Company did not capitalize any cost associated with stock-based compensation.

The Company issues new shares of common stock upon exercise of stock based awards.

The Company has completed a study to assess whether a change in control has occurred or whether there have been multiple changes of control since the Company’s formation. The Company determined, based on the results of the study, no change in control occurred for purposes of Internal Revenue Code section 382. The Company, after considering all available evidence, fully reserved its deferred tax assets since it is more likely than not, such benefits, will not be realized in future periods. The Company incurred losses for both financial reporting and income tax purposes for the year ended March 31, 2016. Accordingly, the Company is continuing to fully reserve for its deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to evaluate its deferred tax assets to determine whether any changes in circumstances could affect the realization of their future benefit. If it is determined in future periods that portions of the Company’s deferred income tax assets satisfy the realization standards, the valuation allowance will be reduced accordingly. The Company is currently evaluating the tax impact of the Invekra asset purchase agreement (See Subsequent Events Note 11).

As a result of certain realization requirements of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities do not include certain deferred tax assets at September 30, 2016 that arose directly from tax deductions related to equity compensation in excess of compensation recognized for financial reporting purposes. Equity will be increased by approximately $533,000 if and when such deferred tax assets are ultimately realized.

The Company generates product revenues from wound care products that are sold into the human and animal healthcare markets, and the Company generates service revenues from laboratory testing services, which are provided to medical device manufacturers.

The Company operates a single segment business for product revenues, which consists of three geographical sales territories as follows:

The following table shows the Company’s product license fees and royalties revenues by partner:

The Company’s service revenues amounted to $224,000 and $311,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The Company’s service revenues amounted to $451,000 and $628,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, one customer represented 29% of net revenue. For the three months ended September 30, 2015, one customer represented 37% of net revenue.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, one customer represented 29% of net revenue. For the six months ended September 30, 2015, one customer represented 44% of net revenue.

At September 30, 2016, one customer represented 44%, one customer represented 17%, and two customers each represented 14%, and one customer represented 13% of the net accounts receivable balance. At March 31, 2016, one customer represented 33% of the net accounts receivable balance.

Section 382 Rights Agreement

On October 18, 2016, the Company’s board of directors approved, and entered into, a Section 382 rights agreement, or the Rights Agreement, with Computershare Inc., or the Rights Agent. The Rights Agreement provides for a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right, or a Right, for each share of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of the Company outstanding on November 1, 2016, or the Record Date. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement.

In connection with the adoption of the Rights Agreement, the Company’s board of directors adopted a Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and became effective on October 18, 2016.

The Company’s board of directors adopted the Rights Agreement to protect shareholder value by guarding against a potential limitation on its ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, and other tax benefits, which may be used to reduce potential future income tax obligations. The Company experienced and continues to experience substantial operating losses, and under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and rules promulgated thereunder, it may “carry forward” these NOLs and other tax benefits in certain circumstances to offset any current and future earnings and thus reduce its income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions. To the extent that the NOLs and other tax benefits do not otherwise become limited, the Company believes that it will be able to carry forward a significant amount of NOLs and other tax benefits, and therefore these NOLs and other tax benefits could be a substantial asset to the Company. However, if the Company experiences an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Code, its ability to use its NOLs and other tax benefits will be substantially limited. Generally, an ownership change would occur if shareholders who own, or are deemed to own, 5% or more of the Company’s common stock increase their collective ownership in the Company by more than 50% over a rolling three-year period.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On October 27, 2016, the Company, along with its Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of its Latin America assets. Specifically, the Company agreed to sell certain patents, patent applications, trademarks, and manufacturing equipment for Mexico, the Caribbean and South America, excluding the sale of dermatology products in Brazil.

The aggregate purchase price that Invekra will pay for the assets is $22,000,000, with $18,000,000 paid in cash upon closing, $1,500,000 held in escrow until completion of its obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 to be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly installments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is to be paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 due to currency fluctuations.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, the Company and Invekra entered into several ancillary agreements.

The Company will continue to supply its Microcyn® products pursuant to the Company’s partner agreements to Laboratorios Sanfer and its animal health partner Grimann S.A. de C.V. for a transition period, at a reduced price from its current price list, while Invekra builds its own manufacturing line. At the conclusion of the transition period, the Company will cease to be a supplier of product to Laboratorios Sanfer and Grimann S.A. de C.V. The Company is uncertain as to the duration of the transition period or when Inverka will complete the build of its manufacturing line.  Pursuant to the agreement the Company is subject to a potential penalty for failure to supply the products for a consecutive period of six months. The penalty, if triggered, will require the Company to make a one-time payment of $2,000,000 to Invekra. The penalty is set to decrease by 12.5% each quarter of the term of the supply period, which is two years.

Additionally, the Company will incur additional cost to fulfill its obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology. The cost to build the equipment is currently under review and cannot be accurately estimated at this time.

Share Issuance

On November 4, 2016, the Company issued 6,411 shares of common stock valued at $3.90 per share to a service provider for services provided to the Company.

Our Business

We are a specialty pharmaceutical company dedicated to identifying, developing and commercializing unique, affordable differentiated therapies to improve the lives of patients with dermatologic diseases or conditions. Our products, which are sold throughout the United States and internationally, have improved patient outcomes for more than five million patients globally by treating and reducing certain topical skin diseases including acne, atopic dermatitis, scarring, infections, itch, pain and harmful inflammatory responses.

We currently focus on the development and commercialization of therapeutic solutions in medical dermatology to treat or reduce skin conditions, such as acne, atopic dermatitis and scarring. These diseases impact millions of patients worldwide and can have significant, multi-dimensional effects on patients’ quality of life, including their physical, functional and emotional well-being.

Since our founding in 1999, we built our business by developing and promoting products via partnerships for multiple therapeutic indications, with a primary focus on advanced tissue care. Starting in 2013, with a new Board of Directors and new management team, we pivoted to focus on one specialty pharmaceutical area, medical dermatology, and created our own sales force in the United States to promote our unique, affordable, differentiated prescription dermatology products.

Some of our key products in the United States are:

Our key product outside the United States is:

To date, we have obtained 15 clearances from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, that permit us to sell our products as medical devices for Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act in the United States.

Outside the United Sates, we sell products for dermatological and advanced tissue care with a European Conformity marking (known as Conformité Européenne or CE) covering 25 of our products, and various approvals in China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.

On October 27, 2016, we, along with our Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of our Latin America assets. Specifically, we have agreed to sell certain patents, patent applications, trademarks, and manufacturing equipment for Mexico, the Caribbean and South America, excluding the sale of dermatology products in Brazil.

The aggregate purchase price that Invekra will pay for the assets is $22,000,000, with $18,000,000 paid in cash upon closing, $1,500,000 held in escrow until completion of our obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 to be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly installments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 due to currency fluctuations.

As a result of the asset purchase agreement and arrangement, we expect our revenues in Latin America will decrease significantly. Pursuant to the arrangement, going forward we will receive a royalty of 3% on all Latin American net revenues (outside of Mexico), with a minimum payment of $250,000 per year for the next ten years, to be paid quarterly in Mexican pesos. Due to currency fluctuations, we may not receive the full $250,000 in U.S. dollars. Additionally, while Invekra sets up their manufacturing, we will continue to supply Invekra with product at a reduced price.

We believe that the sale of the Latin America assets is in line with our overall turnaround strategy to focus on our core dermatology business and generate cash from our non-core businesses to support the higher margin and higher-growth dermatology business. As a result of the sale of our Latin America assets, we expect our Latin America revenues will decrease and our total revenues will decrease in the short-term until our U.S. based dermatology revenues increase longer-term. We believe focusing on higher margin dermatology products, utilizing an internal sales force, allows us to better control and grow our future results rather than relying on external partners for marketing and sales. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of the Latin America assets to increase our direct sales force and grow our product line and continue to expand our markets and Company.

Our Strategy

Our strategy is to in-license, acquire, develop and commercialize unique, affordable and differentiated therapies that we believe advance the standard of care for patients with dermatological diseases. The key components of our strategy are to:

Our plan is to evolve into a leading dermatology company, providing innovative and cost-effective solutions to patients, while generating strong, consistent revenue growth and maximizing long-term shareholder value.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

Revenues

Total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $4,108,000 increased by $54,000 or 1%, as compared to $4,054,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2015. Product revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $3,809,000 increased by $405,000 or 12% when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was the result of strong growth in the United States, offset by a decline in Europe and Rest of World, and Latin America due to a 15% decline in the peso. Product licensing fees and royalties of $75,000 decreased by $264,000, largely related to a reduction in the amortization of upfront payments from Laboratorios Sanfer, S.A. de C.V. ( a subsidiary of Invekra), and the loss of our former partners Innovacyn and Exeltis.

Product revenues in the United States for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $1,697,000, increased by $511,000, or 43%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was mostly the result of higher sales of our dermatology and animal health products. We currently have a direct sales force team of 22 focused on selling our dermatology product portfolio of seven products, for the treatment of atopic dermatitis, scar management, surgical procedures, an oral anti-infective for severe acne, and Ceramax, which utilizes a “state of the art” skin repair technology. In addition, sales to a new animal health care partner increased during the period compared to the prior year. In the quarter ended September 30, 2016, our animal health products sold in the U.S. accounted for approximately 8% of product revenue. Going forward, while we expect that sales of both our U.S. dermatology and animal health product lines will continue to grow. We expect sales of our dermatology product lines to grow faster and thus, the percentage of animal sales as a part of our overall sales to decrease. Management has determined that our core focus will be prescription dermatology sales. We believe focusing on higher margin dermatology products, utilizing an internal sales force, allows us to better control and grow our future results rather than relying on external partners for marketing and sales.

Product revenue in Europe and the Rest of the World for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $920,000, decreased by $32,000, or 3%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, with decreases in Europe, Asia, and India, partially offset by increases in the Middle East and Singapore.

Product revenue in Latin America for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $1,192,000, down $74,000 or 6%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was caused by a 15% decline in the peso from the same period in the prior year while revenue growth in local currency was 9% compared to the same period last year.

As a result of the arrangement we entered into on October 27, 2016 with Invekra, we expect our revenues in Latin America will decrease significantly. Pursuant to the arrangement, going forward we will receive a royalty of 3% on all Latin American net revenues (outside of Mexico), with a minimum payment of $250,000 per year for the next ten years, to be paid quarterly in Mexican pesos. Additionally, while Invekra sets up their manufacturing, we will continue to supply Invekra with product at a reduced price.

The following table shows our product revenues by geographic region:

In the three months ended September 30, 2016, product license fees and royalties revenue declined primarily as a result of a decrease in the amortization of upfront payments from Laboratorios Sanfer, S.A. de C.V. and loss of revenue related to our former dermatology partner Exeltis.

The following table shows our product license fees and royalties revenue by partner:

Service revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2016 of $224,000 decreased by $87,000 when compared to $311,000 in the prior period. This decrease was due to a decrease in the number of tests and services provided by our lab services business.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we reported total revenues of $4,108,000 and total cost of revenues of $2,026,000, resulting in total gross profit of $2,082,000 or 51% of total revenues, compared to gross profit of $2,090,000 or 52% of total revenues, for the same period in the prior year. The decline in gross profit was primarily due to the decline in our license fees and royalties revenue of $264,000.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we reported product revenues of $3,809,000 and cost of product revenues of $1,822,000, resulting in product gross profit of $1,987,000, or 52% of product revenues, compared to product gross profit of $1,687,000, or 50% of product revenues, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in product gross profit was primarily related to product mix from higher sales of dermatology products which have higher margins.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we reported service revenues of $224,000 and cost of service revenues of $204,000, resulting in service gross profit of $20,000, or 9% of service revenues, compared to service gross profit of $64,000, or 21% of service revenues, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in service gross profit was primarily related to lower service revenue in the current period and the mix of tests and services performed.

Research and Development Expense

We reported research and development expense of $379,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $33,000, or 8%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease is largely due to a decrease in development milestone payments and license fees related to a dermatology product from the prior period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

We reported selling, general and administrative expenses of $3,643,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $107,000, or 3%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily the result of higher general and administrative expenses of $87,000 largely related to the addition of corporate functions in the United States, partly offset by lower expenses in Europe and lower stock compensation charges.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as we add new territories and people to our direct sales force.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was negligible for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Interest Income

Interest income was negligible for the three months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Gain due to Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

In connection with our December 9, 2013 and February 26, 2014 registered direct offerings we issued a series of common stock purchase warrants, which contain cash settlement provisions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a gain due to a decrease in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $65,000, primarily due to a decrease in our common stock price and the decreasing contractual term of the warrants.

Other Expense Income, net

Other expense, net of $9,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2016, increased $39,000, from $30,000 of other income, net for the same period in the prior year. The increase in other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily related to foreign exchange gains and losses.

Net Loss

Net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was $1,949,000 compared to $1,763,000, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net loss of $186,000 is primarily due to an increase of $74,000 in our operating expenses and a $65,000 gain due to the change in fair value of our derivative liabilities recorded in the prior period.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

Revenues

Total revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2016 of $7,919,000 increased by $185,000 or 2%, as compared to $7,734,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2015. Product revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2016 of $7,318,000 increased by $998,000 or 16% when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was the result of strong growth in the United States, Rest of World and Europe, partially offset by a decline in Latin America. Product licensing fees and royalties of $150,000 decreased $636,000, largely related to a reduction of amortization of upfront payments from Laboratorios Sanfer, S.A. de C.V. (a subsidiary of Invekra), and the loss of our former partners Innovacyn and Exeltis.

Product revenues in the United States for the six months ended September 30, 2016 of $3,070,000, increased by $1,097,000, or 56%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was mostly the result of higher sales of our dermatology and animal health products.

Product revenue in Europe and the Rest of the World for the six months ended September 30, 2016 of 1,958,000, increased by $435,000, or 29%, as compared to the same period in the prior year, with increases in Europe, Asia and Middle East.

Product revenue in Latin America for the six months ended September 30, 2016 was $2,290,000, down $534,000 or 19%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. This decrease was caused by a 15% decline in the peso from the same period in the prior year.

As a result of the asset purchase agreement and arrangement we entered into on October 27, 2016 with Invekra, we expect our revenues in Latin America will decrease significantly. Pursuant to the arrangement, going forward we will receive a royalty of 3% on all Latin American net revenues (outside of Mexico), with a minimum payment of $250,000 per year for the next ten years, to be paid quarterly in Mexican pesos. Additionally, while Invekra sets up their manufacturing, we will continue to supply Invekra with product at a reduced price.

The following table shows our product revenues by geographic region:

The increase in product gross profit was primarily related to product mix from higher sales of dermatology products which have higher margins.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, we reported service revenues of $451,000 and cost of service revenues of $389,000, resulting in service gross profit of $62,000, or 14% of service revenues, compared to service gross profit of $90,000, or 14% of service revenues, for the same period in the prior year. The decrease in service gross profit was primarily related to lower service revenue in the current period and the mix of tests and services performed.

Research and Development Expense

We reported research and development expense of $739,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $140,000, or 16%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. The decrease is largely due to a decrease in development milestone payments and license fees related to a dermatology product from the prior period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

We reported selling, general and administrative expenses of $7,773,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016, an increase of $520,000, or 7%, when compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase for the six months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily due to higher sales expenses related to our dermatology sales partly offset by lower stock compensation charges.

We expect selling, general and administrative expenses to increase as we add territories and people to our direct sales force.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was negligible for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Interest Income

Interest income was negligible for the six months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.

Gain due to Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liabilities

In connection with our December 9, 2013 and February 26, 2014 registered direct offerings we issued a series of common stock purchase warrants, which contain cash settlement provisions. During the six months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded a gain due to a decrease in the fair value of our derivative liabilities of $6,000, primarily due to an increase in our common stock price, offset by the expiration of warrants and the decreasing contractual term of outstanding warrants.

Other Expense Income, net

Other expense, net of $6,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016, increased $66,000, from $60,000 of other income, net for the same period in the prior year. The increase in other expense, net for the six months ended September 30, 2016 was primarily related to foreign exchange gains and losses.

Net Loss

Net loss for the six months ended September 30, 2016 was $4,517,000 compared to $4,103,000, for the same period in the prior year. The increase in net loss of $414,000 is primarily due to an increase of $380,000 in our operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We incurred a net loss of $4,517,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, our accumulated deficit amounted to $156,892,000 and $152,375,000, respectively. At September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, our working capital amounted to $5,240,000 and $9,337,000, respectively.

On October 27, 2016, we, along with our Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of our Latin America assets for an aggregate purchase price of $22,000,000, with $18,000,000 paid in cash upon closing, $1,500,000 held in escrow until completion of our obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 to be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly installments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 due to currency fluctuations.

We currently anticipate that our cash and cash equivalents, including the proceeds from the sale to Invekra, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements to continue our sales and marketing and research and development efforts for at least 12 months from the date of filing this quarterly report.

Sources of Liquidity

As of September 30, 2016 we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,254,000. Since our inception, substantially all of our operations have been financed through sales of equity securities. Other sources of financing that we have used to date include our revenues, as well as various loans.

Since October 1, 2014, substantially all of our operations have been financed through the following transactions:

On October 27, 2016, we, along with our Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of our Latin America assets for an aggregate purchase price of $22,000,000, with $18,000,000 paid in cash upon closing, $1,500,000 held in escrow until completion of our obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 to be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly instalments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 million due to currency fluctuations.

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,254,000, compared to $7,469,000 as of March 31, 2016.

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2016 was $4,001,000, primarily due to our net loss of $4,517,000. Additionally during the six months ended September 30, 2015 we had an increase in inventory of $565,000.

Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2015 was $4,333,000, primarily due to our net loss of $4,103,000. Additionally during the six months ended September 30, 2015 we had a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,158,000, offset by 1,011,000 in stock related compensation.

Net cash used in investing activities was $59,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016, consisting of primarily $64,000 related to equipment purchases and $5,000 related to changes in long-term assets.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $4,300,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2015, consisting of $4,538,000 received from the sale of 1,650,000 of our shares of Ruthigen common stock, offset by $229,000 related to equipment purchases and $9,000 related to changes in long-term assets.

Net cash used in financing activities was $100,000 related to principal payments on debt.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,927,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2015, primarily related to $2,000,000 of net proceeds received from At-the-Market Issuances of common stock which was offset by principal payments on debt in the amount of $87,000.

On October 27, 2016, we, along with our Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of our Latin America assets for an aggregate purchase price of $22,000,000, with $18,000,000 paid in cash upon closing, $1,500,000 held in escrow until completion of our obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 to be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly installments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 due to currency fluctuations.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

We incurred a net loss of $4,517,000 for the six months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, our accumulated deficit amounted to $156,892,000 and $152,375,000, respectively. At September 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, our working capital amounted to $5,240,000 and $9,337,000, respectively. On October 27, 2016, we, along with our Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of our Latin America assets for an aggregate purchase price of $22,000,000, with $18,000,000 paid in cash upon closing, $1,500,000 held in escrow until completion of our obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 to be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly installments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 due to currency fluctuations.

We may need to raise additional capital from external sources in order to continue the longer term efforts contemplated under our business plan. We expect to continue incurring losses for the foreseeable future and may need to raise additional capital to pursue our product development initiatives and to penetrate markets for the sale of our products.

Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions include reserves and write-downs related to receivables and inventories, the recoverability of long-lived assets, the valuation allowance related to our deferred tax assets, valuation of equity and derivative instruments, debt discounts, valuation of investments and the estimated amortization periods of upfront product licensing fees received from customers.

Off-Balance Sheet Transactions

We currently have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

As a smaller reporting company, we are electing scaled disclosure reporting obligations and therefore are not required to provide the information required by this Item.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Accordingly, our disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to meet reasonable assurance standards. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management was necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2016.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

On occasion, we may be involved in legal matters arising in the ordinary course of our business including matters involving proprietary technology. While management believes that such matters are currently insignificant, matters arising in the ordinary course of business for which we are or could become involved in litigation may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of comprehensive loss.

Except as discussed below, there have been no material changes from risk factors previously disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, as filed with the SEC on June 21, 2016.

Because our revenues from the Latin America assets sold to Invekra on October 27, 2016, represented approximately 38% of our total consolidated revenues during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2016, our business following the sale transaction may be substantially reduced and less diversified.

Revenues from our Latin America business that we sold to Invekra on October 27, 2016, represented approximately 38%of our total consolidated revenues during fiscal year 2016. We will continue to supply products at cost to Invekra and Sanfer pursuant to our contractual obligations for a transition period of no more than two years while Invekra develops its own manufacturing lines. However, we expect that our future revenues from Latin America sales will be substantially reduced which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of the assets to grow our U.S. dermatology business. However, we may encounter unanticipated difficulties or challenges as we continue to develop our U.S. dermatology business and internal sales force. We may not be able to grow our dermatology business fast enough to offset the loss of revenue from Latin American sales, or at all. If we are unable to increase our dermatology revenues or international sales, our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected.

We will have broad discretion in how we use the proceeds from the Latin America asset sale to Invekra, and we may use the proceeds in ways in which our stockholders may disagree.

We received $18,000,000 from the sale of the Latin America assets to Invekra and will receive $4,000,000 in the future, subject to certain conditions. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale to grow our U.S. dermatology business, such as among others, to increase our direct sales force, to develop and launch new products and for general working capital. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the proceeds from the asset sale and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. We cannot guarantee that our efforts to grow our U.S. dermatology business will succeed and result in increased sales or revenues. The failure by management to apply the proceeds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business or cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Since July 1, 2016, we issued the following securities:

On November 4, 2016, we issued 6,411 shares of common stock valued at $3.90 per share to a service provider for services provided to us.

We relied on the Section 4(a)(2) exemption from securities registration under the federal securities laws for transactions not involving any public offering. No advertising or general solicitation was employed in offering the securities. The securities were issued to an accredited investor. The securities were offered for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of resale or distribution. The transfer thereof was appropriately restricted by us.

We did not default upon any senior securities during the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Not applicable.

Section 382 Rights Agreement

On October 18, 2016, our board of directors approved, and we entered into, a Section 382 rights agreement, or the Rights Agreement, with Computershare Inc. as our rights agent. The Rights Agreement provides for a dividend of one preferred stock purchase right, or a Right, for each share of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, outstanding on November 1, 2016. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from us one one-thousandth of a share of Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share, or the Preferred Stock, for a purchase price of $10.00, subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement. The description and terms of the Rights are set forth in the Rights Agreement.

In connection with the adoption of the Rights Agreement, our board of directors adopted a Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock. The Certificate of Designation was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and became effective on October 18, 2016.

Our board of directors adopted the Rights Agreement to protect shareholder value by guarding against a potential limitation on its ability to use its net operating loss carryforwards, or NOLs, and other tax benefits, which may be used to reduce potential future income tax obligations. We experienced and continue to experience substantial operating losses, and under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and rules promulgated thereunder, it may “carry forward” these NOLs and other tax benefits in certain circumstances to offset any current and future earnings and thus reduce its income tax liability, subject to certain requirements and restrictions. To the extent that the NOLs and other tax benefits do not otherwise become limited, we believe that we will be able to carry forward a significant amount of NOLs and other tax benefits, and therefore these NOLs and other tax benefits could be a substantial asset to us. However, if we experience an “ownership change,” as defined in Section 382 of the Code, our ability to use our NOLs and other tax benefits will be substantially limited. Generally, an ownership change would occur if our shareholders who own, or are deemed to own, 5% or more of our common stock increase their collective ownership in the Company by more than 50% over a rolling three-year period.

Asset Purchase Agreement

On October 27, 2016, we, along with our Mexican subsidiary and manufacturer Oculus Technologies of Mexico, S.A. de C.V., closed on an asset purchase agreement with Invekra, S.A.P.I de C.V., an affiliate of Laboratorios Sanfer S.A. de C.V., for the sale of certain of our Latin America assets. Specifically, we have agreed to sell certain patents, patent applications, trademarks, and manufacturing equipment for Mexico, the Caribbean and South America, excluding the sale of dermatology products in Brazil.

The aggregate purchase price that Invekra will pay for the assets is $22,000,000, with $18,000,000 paid in cash upon closing, $1,500,000 held in escrow until completion of our obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology, and $2,500,000 to be paid in Mexican currency in quarterly installments over a period of ten years from closing as consideration for the provision of certain services and providing technical assistance, calculated as three per cent on net sales of certain products in Latin America, excluding Mexico. Because the $2,500,000 is paid in foreign currency, we may receive more or less than $2,500,000 due to currency fluctuations.

In connection with the asset purchase agreement, we entered into several ancillary agreements.

We will continue to supply our Microcyn® products pursuant to our partner agreements with Laboratorios Sanfer and our animal health partner Grimann S.A. de C.V. for a transition period, at a reduced price from our current price list, while Invekra builds its own manufacturing line.  At the conclusion of the transition period, we  will cease to be a supplier of product to Laboratorios Sanfer and Grimann S.A. de C.V. We are  uncertain as to the duration of the transition period or when Inverka will complete the build of its manufacturing line.  Pursuant to the agreement we are subject to a potential penalty for failure to supply the products for a consecutive period of six months. The penalty, if triggered, will require us to make a one-time payment of $2,000,000 to Invekra. The penalty is set to decrease by 12.5% each quarter of the term of the supply period, which is two years.

Additionally, we will incur additional cost to fulfill our obligations to deliver certain equipment and technology.  The cost to build the equipment is currently under review and cannot be accurately estimated at this time.

Share Issuance

On November 4, 2016, we issued 6,411 shares of common stock valued at $3.90 per share to a service provider for services provided to us.
