LECTEC CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
June 30, 2011 and 2010
(Unaudited)
(1) Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed financial statements include the accounts of LecTec Corporation
(the Company) as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and for the three and six month periods
ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The Companys condensed financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should
be read in conjunction with the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 2010. The interim condensed financial statements are unaudited and in the opinion of
management, reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results for the periods
presented. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
year.
(2) Business/Premises Summary and Critical Accounting Policies
Business Summary
The
Company is an intellectual property (IP) licensing and holding company, whose primary strategy is to pursue a merger to leverage
its cash asset and improve shareholder value and liquidity. The
Company has identified AxoGen Corporation as a candidate to fulfill
this strategy through a merger. The Companys intellectual property portfolio contains domestic
and international patents based on its original hydrogel patch technology and patent applications
on a hand sanitizer patch. The Company also has a licensing agreement (the Novartis Agreement),
with Novartis Consumer Health, Inc. (Novartis), under which the Company receives royalties from
time to time based upon a percentage of Novartiss net sales of
licensed products. The Company has completed through settlement its
previous legal action against five defendants and on May 9, 2011 sold
a significant portion of its hydrogel patch intellectual property to
Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. Such actions have ended LecTecs
current pursuit of legal action regarding its intellectual property. The Companys
anti-microbial hand sanitizer patch is intended to be dry, thereby rendering the patch harmless in
the event that it is licked, chewed, or exposed to the eye. An initial prototype of the hand
sanitizer patch has been developed and the Company is exploring the engagement of a strategic
partner to complete its hand sanitizer patch development. An effort to monetize the remainder of
the Companys intellectual property has been ongoing, however, additional value, if any, is not
expected to be material.
The Company was organized in 1977 as a Minnesota corporation and went public in December 1986.
The Companys principal executive office is located at 1407 South Kings Highway, Texarkana, Texas
75501, its telephone number is (903) 832-0993, its corporate internet Website is www.lectec.com,
and the Companys common stock trades on the Over-the-Counter
Bulletin Board (the OTCBB) under the symbol LECT.
Corporate Office and Premises Summary
The Company had one leased facility in Texas and two record storage facilities in Minnesota as
of June 30, 2011. In July 2008, the Company moved its corporate headquarter facilities (principal
executive office) from Edina, Minnesota to Texarkana, Texas. In connection with this relocation,
the Company entered into a Lease Agreement with Lockaway Storage, Inc. on July 23, 2008 (the Texas
Lease), pursuant to which the Company agreed to lease approximately 1,200 square feet of space
located at 1407 South Kings Highway, Texarkana, Texas 75501. In February 2010, the Company renewed
the Texas Lease until March 1, 2011 at a monthly lease rate of $750 per month and has subsequently
renewed the Texas lease until March 1, 2012 at a monthly lease rate of $750 per month. The Texas
Lease contains customary representations, warranties, and covenants on the part of the Company and
the landlord.
In addition to the Texas Lease, the Company currently maintains two storage facilities in
Minnesota for record retention purposes at a cost of approximately $4,300 per year.

Critical Accounting Policies
The Companys most critical accounting policies include:
Use of Estimates
In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that
affect certain reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Credit Risk
A significant amount of cash is deposited in one financial institution. Certain amounts of
the Companys cash exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses and
does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Royalty Receivable
The Company grants credit to its only customer, Novartis, in the normal course of business and
under the terms contained in the Novartis Agreement. Pursuant to the Novartis Agreement, Novartis
pays the royalty income within the terms defined in the Novartis Agreement.
Patent Costs
Patent costs consist primarily of the cost of applying for patents and are amortized on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset, which is generally five years.
Patent maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
The carrying value of patent costs is reviewed periodically or when factors indicating
impairment are present. The impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying value
of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. The Company believes that no impairment
existed at June 30, 2011.
Revenue Recognition
Royalty and licensing fees are recognized when earned under the terms of the Novartis
Agreement based upon sales information of licensed products provided by Novartis, and when
collection is reasonably assured. Infringement income is recognized when settlement agreements
have been signed and collection is reasonably assured.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, Compensation-Stock
Compensation, which requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions
(including the cost of all employee stock options), be recognized in the financial statements.
That cost is measured based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instruments
issued. Share-based payment accounting covers a wide range of share-based compensation
arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share
appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans.
5
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements (as such term is defined in
Item 303 of Regulation S-K) that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the
Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expense, operating
results, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In
December 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update
(ASU) No. 2010-29 Business Combinations (Topic 805) Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for
Business Combinations. If a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity
should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination that
occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual
reporting period only. ASU 2010-29 also expands the supplementary pro forma disclosures. ASU
2010-29 is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on
or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15,
2010. ASU 2010-29 will only affect the Company if there are future business combinations.
(3) Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) per common share is computed by
dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and common
share equivalents related to stock options and warrants when dilutive.
Common stock options to purchase 464,000 shares of common stock with a weighted average
exercise price of $3.78 were outstanding at June 30, 2011.
Common stock options to purchase 374,000 shares of common stock with
a weighted average exercise price of $3.85 were outstanding for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Because the Company had a loss from operations
during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010, those shares were excluded from the net loss per common share
computation because they were antidilutive.
Diluted
shares outstanding for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, was computed as

(4) Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences between the financial reporting
and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred taxes are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred
tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects
of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of the enactment.
In evaluating the ultimate realization of deferred income tax assets, management considers
whether it is more likely than not that the deferred income tax assets will be realized.
Management establishes a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that all or a portion of
the deferred income tax assets will not be utilized. The ultimate realization of deferred income
tax assets is dependent on the generation of future taxable income, which must occur prior to the
expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards.
6
(5) Infringement and Patent Income
On April 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release
(the POP Settlement Agreement) with Prince of Peace Enterprises, Inc. (POP) to settle the
Companys claims against POP that POP infringed the PatentsInSuit. Pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, POP paid the Company a onetime sum of $225,000 and the Company granted to POP a fully
paidup, worldwide, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to (a) U.S. Patent Nos. 5,536,263 and
5,741,510 (the PatentsInSuit), (b) any patent that claims priority, directly or indirectly,
from PatentsInSuit (the Family Patents) and (c) any foreign counterparts of the Family Patents,
for use in connection with any product or process sold or used by POP, other than products covered
by exclusive licenses previously granted to other companies. Such settlement proceeds are before
paying contingent legal fees and prior to any tax effect. In addition, under the Settlement
Agreement the Company and POP entered into mutual releases of all claims.
On May 9, 2011, the Company sold certain of its patents relating to its hydrogel patch technology
to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. for $2,000,000, which proceeds is subject to income taxation and
related expenses.
(6) Novartis Supply and License Agreement
In 2004, the Company entered into a supply and licensing agreement with Novartis (the Novartis
Agreement). By December 31, 2004, the supply portion of the Novartis Agreement was completed and
the Company no longer manufactured any product. Under the Novartis Agreement, the Company granted
Novartis an exclusive license (the License) to all of the intellectual property of the Company to
the extent that it is used or useful in the production of the vapor patches that Novartis is
selling under the Novartis Agreement. The License will continue in effect for the duration of the
patents lives permitted under applicable law. Upon the expiration of the patents included in the
licensed intellectual property, Novartis will have a non-revocable, perpetual, fully paid-up
license to the intellectual property used or useful in the production of vapor patches for the
adult cough/cold market. Novartis is required by the Novartis Agreement to pay royalties, at an
agreed upon percentage, to the Company based on net sales of vapor patches by Novartis for each
year the License is in effect.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded revenue of $19,111
and $44,118, respectively, compared to revenue recorded for the three and six months ended June
30, 2010 of $3,254 and $22,783, respectively, for royalties covered under the Novartis Agreement.
(7) Notes Receivable
On May 3, 2011, the Company made a $500,000 loan to AxoGen Corporation (AxoGen) and was
given a note in return that bears interest at an annual rate of 8%, has a maturity date of June 30,
2013, is secured by AxoGen assets and is subordinated to the interests of AxoGens senior lenders.
On May 31, 2011, AxoGen issued a Subordinated Secured Convertible Promissory Note in the
principal amount of $2,000,000 (the Note) to LecTec. The Note bears interest at an annual rate
of 8%, has a maturity date of June 30, 2013 and is secured by a pledge of all of the assets of
AxoGen, which pledge is subordinated to a prior security interest in all of AxoGens assets held by
AxoGens senior lenders. There is no penalty for AxoGens prepayment of the Note. At any time
prior to the Note being paid in full and the closing of a business combination transaction between
LecTec and AxoGen, LecTec can convert all principal and accrued interest into shares of AxoGens
common stock at a conversion price based on a set valuation of AxoGen.
(8) Patents and Trademarks
The Companys policy is to protect its proprietary position by securing U.S. and foreign
patents that cover the technology, inventions and improvements related to its business. The
Company has 3 pending and 9 granted U.S. patents, multiple international pending and granted
patents and a foreign application through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) related to its
patch technologies. The Companys issued U.S. patents have a remaining legal duration ranging from
one to 11 years. Issued patents can later be held invalid by the patent office issuing the patent
or by a court. The Company cannot be certain that its patents will not be challenged, invalidated
or circumvented or that the rights granted under the Companys patents will provide a competitive
advantage.
7
The Company uses both patents and trade secrets to protect its proprietary property and
information, but there can be no assurance that other parties will not independently develop the
same or similar information to its detriment.
On July 25, 2008, the Company filed a complaint for patent infringement against five
companies, alleging that those companies had infringed upon two of the Companys patents relating
to its medicated patch technology. The Company has subsequently settled with all such parties.
See PART II, ITEM 1 of this Form 10-Q for additional information.
(9) Stock Option
The Company recorded share-based compensation of $160,251 and $364,218 during the three and
six months ended June 30, 2011. The Company recorded share-based compensation of $26,156 during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. At June 30, 2011, there was approximately $98,067 of
total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements.
The cost is expected to be recognized in the next two quarters.
(10) Other Agreements
On May 16, 2011 the Company and its litigation counsel Rader, Fishman & Grauer PLLC (Rader)
signed a Release and Settlement Agreement. Pursuant to such letter, Rader will no longer act as
counsel to the Company, except as to matters arising specifically from the Companys recently
concluded patent infringement litigation and sale of patents. The parties have also agreed to
mutual releases of claims against each other with regard to certain matters. A final
reconciliation of the escrow account has been completed. The Company has received approximately
$1,760,000 from the escrow account which relates to; (1) the funds remaining from an original
contribution to pay litigation expenses; (2) the receipt of settlement funds net of legal expenses;
and (3) fees related to the sale of hydrogel patch technology to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. This
amount does not include the $2.0 million proceeds from the sale of hydrogel patch technology to
Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. These estimates also do not reflect any income tax affects.
Rader has received $2.2 million in aggregate fees related to the Companys settlement of its
patent infringement claims against Chattem Inc. and POP and the Companys sale of patents relating
to its hydrogel patch technology to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc.
On May 31, 2011 LecTec entered into a Merger Agreement with Nerve Merger Sub Corp., a wholly
owned subsidiary of LecTec (Merger Sub), and AxoGen Corporation (AxoGen). AxoGen is a
privately held company that develops and markets surgical products for the repair and protection of
peripheral nerves. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will merge with and
into AxoGen and AxoGen will be the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of LecTec.
Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, and assuming $11,450,000 of Net Cash, each
share of AxoGens common stock that is issued and outstanding will be converted into 0.03663996
shares of LecTecs common stock, subject to final adjustment based upon LecTecs actual Net Cash at
Merger closing. It is expected that 6,106,201 shares of LecTecs common stock will be issued in
exchange for the stock of AxoGen assuming the conversion of all outstanding AxoGen convertible
securities and 557,941 shares of LecTecs common stock will be reserved for issuance upon exercise
of AxoGen outstanding stock options that will be converted into LecTecs stock options, subject to
adjustment based upon LecTecs Net Cash at Merger closing. It is also expected that all
outstanding AxoGen warrants will be forfeited. In addition, current security holders of AxoGen
have agreed to purchase, immediately following the Merger, an additional 416,509 shares of LecTec
common stock at a price per share of $2.40. Upon consummation of these transactions, current
Axogen security holders will own approximately 60% of LecTecs common stock on a fully diluted
basis.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Our business plan is primarily focused on pursuing a merger, while also attempting to engage a
strategic partner to complete development of the hand sanitizer patch and pursue manufacturing and
marketing/co-marketing arrangements; and further monetization, if possible, of our IP portfolio,
excluding the hand sanitizer patch, through licensing, selling or engaging strategic partners for
the remaining portion of our hydrogel IP. It is currently managements intent to fund operations
with royalty income from licensing agreements or from other income derived from sale of assets, in
conjunction with reducing operational costs.
Merger/Acquisition Opportunities. We believe that our cash balance and public company status
provide the potential for merger opportunities. In evaluating any such opportunities, primary
consideration will be given to companies generating revenue and addressing sizable markets which
may attract significant investment interest. Any transaction under consideration should also be
expected to provide increased liquidity for our shareholders. Our current intention is not to seek
multiple investments, but to focus our efforts on identifying a single transaction in which to
apply our current cash position and public company status. Although opportunities related to our
current business areas will be of greatest interest, we will evaluate situations in other areas in
which we have the capability to make an appropriate and informed review.
Proposed
AxoGen Merger. We have identified AxoGen Corporation
(AxoGen) as a suitable merger candidate that meets the
requirements described above and on May 31, 2011, we entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Merger, by and among the Company,
Nerve Merger Sub Corp.,
a subsidiary of the Company (Merger Sub), and AxoGen, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of June 30, 2011, and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of August 9, 2011, by and among
the Company, Merger Sub and AxoGen (the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, subject
to obtaining the approval of our shareholders and satisfying certain other conditions, at the effective time,
Merger Sub
will merge with and into AxoGen with AxoGen surviving the merger
and becoming a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the Merger). If the Merger is completed, each share of AxoGen stock outstanding
immediately prior to the Merger will be converted into shares of our common stock. AxoGen
stockholders will become shareholders of LecTec and will no longer hold any interest in AxoGen
other than through their interest in shares of the post-Merger, combined company. The rights of
AxoGen stockholders will be governed by our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and
Amended and Restated Bylaws, both to be approved at our 2011 Annual
Meeting of Shareholders (the Annual Meeting).
Assuming the Merger is completed, substantially all of our business operations will be those of our
wholly owned subsidiary AxoGen Corporation,
and the former stockholders of
AxoGen are expected to hold approximately 60% of outstanding common stock. The Merger is subject to
approval by our shareholders and the stockholders of AxoGen. We have filed a Form S-4 Registration Statement
with the SEC which includes a proxy statement/prospectus that will be sent to shareholders of LecTec and
AxoGen prior to the consummation of the Merger.
Hand Sanitizer Patch. Due to the growing worldwide concern regarding the spread of germs
through hand contact, we filed patents for, and screened, identified and tested technologies
suitable for, an anti-microbial hand sanitizer patch. This activity has lead to the development of
a prototype that is ready to begin efficacy and other testing to determine its market viability.
We are seeking to engage a strategic partner to complete the development of our hand sanitizer
patch and pursue manufacturing and marketing/co-marketing arrangements. Because the hand sanitizer
patch is a consumer product we believe that engaging an established strategic partner is the best
go-to-market strategy because we will be able to leverage any such partners competencies regarding
the development and manufacturing of products, customer requirements and marketing and distribution
strategies. If we are not able to engage an acceptable strategic partner, we will evaluate how, or
if, to proceed with the hand sanitizer patch in light of progress made in our other strategic
initiatives.
IP Portfolio, Excluding Hand Sanitizer Patch. We completed an evaluation of our IP portfolio,
which included conducting both a current analysis of this portfolio and referring to our 2007
extensive market research and intellectual property report. Based on this evaluation, we believe
that the best strategy to derive further value, if any, from our IP portfolio, other than our hand
sanitizer patch, is to pursue licensing of our IP, and to engage strategic partners to help us
further develop, if necessary, manufacture and/or market our IP, or sell all or a portion of our
IP. In accordance with this strategy, on May 9, 2011, we sold certain patents related to a
9
significant portion of our hydrogel IP to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. for $2,000,000. We
believe the limited time left before the expiration of the remaining hydrogel IP results in its
further value being insubstantial.
Although we believe that our strategy will result in increased value for our shareholders,
there can be no assurance that our strategy, or any component thereof, will be successful. The
effort to monetize the remainder of our intellectual property is ongoing, however, any substantial
additional value is uncertain.
COMPARISON OF THE THREE AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2011 and 2010
Results of Operations
The Company recorded total revenue of $2,244,111 and $5,869,118, respectively, for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to total revenue of $3,254 and $22,783 for the same
periods in 2010. The 2011 total revenue consisted of three components. First, infringement income
of $3,600,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and $225,000
for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. This recorded income was
related to a settlement with the remaining defendants in the Companys litigation efforts, which are
now complete from our initial lawsuits, (See Part II, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q). Second, the
Company received $2,000,000 in gross proceeds for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 as a result of
the sale of certain of its hydrogel IP. The Company received no infringement income and had no
sale of IP assets for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010. Finally, the Company
recorded royalty income of $19,111 and $44,118 for the three and six month periods ended June 30,
2011, respectively, compared to royalty income of $3,254 and $22,783 for the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2010, respectively, resulting in an increase of $15,857 and $21,335 for the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011, respectively, over the comparable periods of 2010. The increase
in royalty revenue resulted from higher sales from the seasonal cough/cold demand of Novartis
patch products using Company IP. The royalty income recorded during the three and six month
periods ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was based on information provided by Novartis.
Operating
expenses increased $1,389,045 to $1,730,922 for the three months ended June 30,
2011, from operating expenses of $341,877 for the comparable period in 2010. Such increase was the
result of the following operating expenses: (1) litigation (including contingent fees and direct
out of pocket expenses), of approximately $870,100, funded from our litigation escrow account; (2)
legal and accounting expenses primarily related to our merger
activity with AxoGen of approximately
$412,750, partially offset with reductions in general operating
expenses of approximately $27,900; and (3) a non-cash
compensation expense of $134,095 related to options granted to our current CEO and
Board of Directors members. Operating expenses increased $3,134,529
to $3,870,881 for the six months ended
June 30, 2011, from operating expenses of $736,352 for the comparable period in 2010. Of such
increase, $2,445,518 related to litigation contingency fees and expenses, $435,178 related to
expenses associated with the Merger and sale of certain hydrogel IP, and
$338,062 related to non-cash expenses for stock option grants. Without including such litigation,
merger, IP sale and stock option grant expenses, operating expenses
decreased approximately $117,327. Such
lower operating expenses were the result of reduced rent, salary, general legal and research and
development costs, offset by an increase of $33,098 in intellectual property expenditures.
The
Company recorded net income of $250,438, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the
three months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of $(230,388), or $(0.05) per basic and
diluted share, for the same period in 2010. The Company recorded net
income of $1,155,650, or $0.27
per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2011, compared to a net loss of
$(476,316), or $(0.11) per basic and diluted share, for the same period in 2010. The increase in
net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods in
2010 is due to the increase in infringement and patent
income, the sale of our hydrogel IP,
and an increase in royalty income, offset by operating expenses, as discussed above.
Income Taxes
The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $286,500 and
$870,000, respectively, as compared to income tax benefit in the comparable periods in 2010 of
$104,000 and $229,000. The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was
due to income generated during
10
these periods. The income tax benefit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was
principally due to the federal tax benefit resulting from the operating loss the
Company incurred.
Effect of Inflation
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Companys operations or cash flow.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents and certificates of deposit increased $518,777 for the six month
period ended June 30, 2011, to $9,555,177 from cash and cash equivalents and certificates of
deposit of $9,036,400 at December 31, 2010. The increase in cash and cash equivalents and
certificates of deposit resulted from the settlement of litigation and sale of certain hydrogel
IP, offset by loans of $2,500,000 made to AxoGen during the quarter ended June 30, 2011.
The Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures at June 30, 2011 or 2010.
The
Company had working capital of $8,981,367 and a current ratio of 15.69 at June 30, 2011
compared to working capital of $9,972,819 and a current ratio of 88.21 at December 31, 2010. The
decrease in working capital and current ratio at June 30, 2011, compared to
December 31, 2010, was primarily due to the Company recording infringement litigation income and
the sale of certain hydrogel IP, offset by income taxes and operating
expenses of the Company.
Shareholders equity increased $1,519,868 to $11,548,996 at June 30, 2011 from $10,029,128 at
December 31, 2010, due to net income of $1,155,650, in addition
to compensation expense of $364,218
related to stock option grants, during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $763,502 during the six month period ended June 30, 2011
compared to a decrease of $6,132,024 for the six month period ended June 30, 2010. The change for 2011 is
primarily a result of infringement income of $3,825,000 and the sale of hydrogel IP of $2,000,000, offset with
litigation expenses, operating costs, and merger related expenses. The decrease during 2010 is primarily a
result of paying a $4,298,350 dividend.
On
May 3 and May 31, 2011, respectively, the Company made a $500,000 and a $2,000,000 loan,
respectively, to AxoGen and was given notes in return that bear interest at an annual rate of 8%,
have maturity dates of June 30, 2013, are secured by AxoGen assets and are subordinated to the
interests of AxoGens senior lenders.
On May 9, 2011, the Company sold certain of its patents relating to its hydrogel
patch technology to Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. for $2,000,000, which
proceeds were subject to legal fees owned
to the Radar, Fishman & Grauer PLLC, the Companys litigation counsel.
The Company earns interest on its available cash in addition to the trust arrangement the
Company had with Rader, Fishman & Grauer PLLC. The Company also
earns interest on money advanced to AxoGen
pursuant to its ongoing merger negotiations. Interest income earned during the three and six month
period ended June 30, 2011 was $23,749 and $27,413, respectively. Interest income earned during
the three and six month period ended June 30, 2010 was $4,235
and $8,253, respectively. The
average interest the Company earns on its available cash is less than 1%. The increase in interest
income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2011 from the comparable periods in 2010,
results from an increase in accrued interest related to funds
advanced related to the AxoGen
Merger, coupled with a decrease in the Companys cash available for investments due to operating,
Merger and litigation expenses.
The Company currently
estimates that it will receive $50,000 to $75,000 per year in royalty
income from Novartis based upon historical royalty income and cash receipt activity from Novartis.
Royalty income is uncertain because it is subject to factors that the Company cannot control.
There can be no assurance that the anticipated revenue stream or the anticipated expenses will be
as planned, or that the Company will be successful in negotiating new licensing opportunities with
Novartis or other companies, raising additional capital, due to the uncertainties and risks
described in Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management believes that the Company has not adopted any critical accounting policies which,
if changed, would result in a material change in financial estimates, financial condition, results
of operation or cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The critical
accounting policies appear in Note 2 of Notes to Condensed Financial Statements in this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS
Not Applicable.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and
15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (the Exchange Act), that are designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file or submit under the
Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in
the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and Board of
Directors, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing
and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that disclosure
controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable
assurance of achieving the desired objectives, and we necessarily are required to apply our
judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and
procedures.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer,
evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures
as of June 30, 2011 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, there were no changes in the Companys internal
control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d15(f) under the Exchange
Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys
internal control over financial reporting.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 Legal Proceedings
On July 25, 2008, we filed a complaint for patent infringement (the Complaint) against five
companies, including Chattem, Inc. (Ticker: CHTT), Endo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Ticker: ENDP),
Johnson & Johnson Consumer Company, Inc. (Ticker: JNJ), The Mentholatum Company, Inc. (Division of
Rohto Pharmaceuticals, Ticker RPHCF.PK), and Prince of Peace Enterprises, Inc. (Private Company)
(collectively, the Defendants) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The
Complaint alleged, among other things, that the Defendants infringed two of our patents (the
PatentsInSuit), which relate to our medicated patch technology. We sought to enjoin the
Defendants from infringing the PatentsInSuit and to recover monetary damages related to such
infringement, as well as interest and litigation costs.
In October 2008, all five of the Defendants filed answers (the Answers) in response to the
Complaint denying our claims therein, and asserting certain affirmative defenses and counterclaims
against us, including assertions that the PatentsInSuit are invalid and unenforceable, and
claims for attorneys fees and costs. On October 20, 2008, we filed our replies to the Answers,
denying such counterclaims and affirmative defenses, including the claims that the
PatentsInSuit are invalid and unenforceable.
On December 3, 2008, our counsel in the litigation, Rader, Fishman & Grauer PLLC (the
Counsel), participated in a scheduling conference in this case. As a result of that conference,
the Court scheduled a Markman hearing for May 6, 2010 and a final pretrial conference for January
3, 2011 to address any final matters before the start of trial on January 4, 2011.
In February 2009, Counsel filed with the Court a motion to preliminarily enjoin the five
defendants from infringing the Patents-In Suit pending the trial.
On May 29, 2009, November 11, 2009 and December 18, 2009 the Company entered into a settlement
agreement with the Mentholatum Company, Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Johnson and Johnson Consumer
Companies, Inc., respectively, pursuant to which the Company was paid $600,000, $23,000,000 and
$1,200,000, respectively, in settlement of its claims against such parties.
On
May 6, 2010 a Markman hearing occurred in Texarkana, Texas and
the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of Texas issued Orders concerning it on May 20, 2010. The first Order was
based on our motion to strike an exhibit from Chattem, Inc.s Opposition Brief, and our motion to
strike was granted by the Court. The second Order issued by the court denied Defendants motion
request for leave to file for summary judgment as to non-infringement, but granted the request for
leave to file for summary judgment as to invalidity of patents. The Court also issued its Markman
ruling interpreting the terms cured and non-occlusive contained in our patents.
We engaged in voluntary mediation with Chattem, Inc. in July 2010. A Report of
Mediation by the Hon. Harlan A. Martin was filed stating that the parties were unable to reach
settlement. On September 28, 2010 the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Texas issued an Order regarding Prince of Peaces and Chattems (Defendants) requests to file
motions for summary judgment: (1) of invalidity due to the on-sale bar of 35 U.S.C. § 102(b); and
(2) regarding Defendants defenses of equitable estoppel and laches and our motions: (3) on, and
to preclude testimony related to, Defendants 35 U.S.C. § 102(b) defense based on the Aqua-Patch;
and (4) on infringement by Defendants. The Order granted Defendants the right to file a summary
judgment motion regarding on-sale bar, but denied them the opportunity regarding the equitable
defenses of estoppel and laches. With regard to the equitable issues, the Court stated that the
custom in patent cases is to hold a separate bench proceeding after the jury trial on such issues.
The Order granted us the right to file summary judgment motions on infringement and to preclude
Defendants Aqua-Patch defense. The court denied all summary judgments motions.
On March 23, 2011, the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual
Release (the Chattem Settlement Agreement) with Chattem to settle the Companys claims against
Chattem that Chattem infringed the Patents-In-Suit. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, Chattem
paid a onetime sum of $3,600,000, which was deposited into the Companys infringement escrow
account that it has with our Counsel, and the Company granted to Chattem a fully paidup,
worldwide, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to (a) the PatentsInSuit, (b) any patent
that claims priority, directly or indirectly, from the Patents
13
InSuit
(the Family Patents) and
(c) any foreign counterparts of the Family Patents, for use in connection with any product or
process sold or used by Chattem, other than products covered by exclusive licenses
previously granted to other companies. Such settlement proceeds are before paying contingent
legal fees and prior to any tax effect. In addition, under the Settlement Agreement the Company and
Chattem entered into mutual releases of all claims.
On April 25, 2011, the Company entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Mutual
Release (the POP Settlement Agreement) with Prince of Peace Enterprises, Inc. (POP) to settle
the Companys claims against POP that POP infringed the Patents-In-Suit. Pursuant to the Settlement
Agreement, POP paid the Company a onetime sum of $225,000 and the Company granted to POP a fully
paidup, worldwide, nonexclusive and irrevocable license to (a) the PatentsInSuit, (b) the
Family Patents and (c) any foreign counterparts of the Family Patents, for use in connection with
any product or process sold or used by POP, other than products covered by exclusive licenses
previously granted to other companies. Such settlement proceeds are before paying contingent legal
fees and prior to any tax effect. In addition, under the Settlement Agreement the Company and POP
entered into mutual releases of all claims.
LecTec has completed, through settlement, its previous legal action against the five
defendants. It currently has no active or pending litigation matters.
ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS
Risks Relating to the Merger
LecTec and AxoGen may not realize all of the anticipated benefits of the transactions.
To be successful after the Merger, LecTec and AxoGen will need to integrate their separate
companies and perform on the AxoGen business plan. AxoGen is a private company and as a result of
the Merger will be subject to regulation as a public company pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. The integration
process and new reporting requirements may divert the attention of the combined companys executive
officers and management from day-to-day operations. Such disruption in the business could preclude
realization of the full benefits of the transaction expected by LecTec and AxoGen. LecTec has not
completed a merger or acquisition comparable in size or scope to the Merger. The failure of the
combined company, after the Merger, to successfully integrate the operations of LecTec and AxoGen
or otherwise to realize any of the anticipated benefits of the Merger could cause an interruption
of, or a loss of momentum in, the activities of the combined company and could adversely affect its
results of operations. In addition, the overall integration of the two companies may result in
unanticipated problems, expenses or liabilities, and may cause LecTecs stock price to decline.
Because the businesses of LecTec and AxoGen differ, the results of operations of the combined
company and the market price of LecTec common stock after the Merger may be affected by factors
different from those existing prior to the Merger and may suffer as a result of the Merger. As a
result, LecTec cannot assure you that the combination of the businesses and operations of LecTec
with AxoGen will result in the realization of the full benefits anticipated from the Merger.
Provisions of the Merger Agreement may deter alternative business combinations.
Restrictions in the Merger Agreement prohibit, in certain contexts, LecTec from soliciting any
acquisition proposal or offer for a merger or business combination with any other party. This
includes a proposal that could be advantageous to the shareholders of LecTec when compared to the
terms and conditions of the Merger.
AxoGen is a private company making it difficult to determine its fair market value.
AxoGen is a private company and as such there is no public market price for which to value it.
This makes it extremely difficult to determine the fair market value of AxoGen. The number of
shares of LecTec
14
common stock to be issued to AxoGen stockholders was determined based on
negotiations between the parties, within a value range determined by LecTec, and it may not be
indicative of its true value.
The value of the LecTec common stock issued in the Merger will depend on its market price at
the time of the Merger, as the number of LecTec shares to be provided to security holders of AxoGen
is fixed.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the number of shares of LecTecs common stock that security
holders of AxoGen will receive is unaffected by the share price of LecTecs common stock, as
reflected on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the OTCBB). Increases in the value of LecTec common stock will result in a higher price
being paid by LecTec for AxoGen
common stock and more value received by AxoGen stockholders in the Merger. Pursuant to the Merger
Agreement, LecTec will not have the right to terminate or renegotiate the Merger Agreement or to
re-solicit proxies as a result of any increase in the value of LecTecs outstanding common stock.
The market price of LecTec common stock could decline as a result of the large number of
shares that will become eligible for sale after consummation of the Merger.
If
the Merger is consummated, assuming $11,450,000 in Net Cash, (as
defined in the Merger Agreement) the new shares of LecTec
common stock issued as Merger Consideration will become saleable after the closing of the Merger as
follows: 124,361 shares immediately, 3,115,281 six months after closing and all shares twelve
months after closing. Consequently, after such periods, additional shares of LecTec common stock
will be eligible for resale in the public market. Current shareholders of LecTec and former
stockholders of AxoGen may not wish to continue to invest in the operations of the combined company
after the Merger, or for other reasons, may wish to dispose of some or all of their interests in
LecTec after the Merger. Sales of substantial numbers of shares of both the newly issued and the
existing LecTec common stock in the public market following the Merger could adversely affect the
market price of such shares.
AxoGens credit agreement with Oxford Finance Corporation and Atel Ventures, Inc. is due to
expire September 30, 2011, and AxoGen may not be able to find suitable alternative financing.
AxoGen currently has a loan for an aggregate amount of approximately $4.7 million with Oxford
Finance Corporation and Atel Ventures, Inc. (the Lenders) which comes due September 30, 2011.
AxoGen has received a commitment from different lenders for a new $5.0 million facility contingent
on closing the Merger and satisfaction of certain other conditions. AxoGen intends to use the
proceeds from the new loan facility to repay the entire outstanding balance under the existing
loan. The proposed new loan facility will be for 42 months, with interest only payments for the
first 12 months and straight line amortization of principal and interest for the remaining 30
months. The interest rate is the greater of 9.9% per annum or the three-year Treasury Rate plus
8.92%. Such loan will be secured by all of the assets of AxoGen. The lenders for the proposed new
loan facility will also receive a 10 year warrant to purchase approximately 83,000 shares of LecTec
common stock at $2.401 per share, subject to adjustment based upon the price of LecTec common stock
at the closing of the Merger. If the proposed new loan facility does not close after the Merger,
and alternative arrangements are not established, cash reserves will be required to pay the $4.7
million loan to the Lenders. Such use of cash could result in slowing the AxoGen business plan to
adjust for less available capital or require the combined entity to raise additional capital within
twelve months of the Merger. Any additional capital raise could be dilutive to shareholders of the
combined company.
AxoGen has not experienced positive cash flow from their operations, and the ability of the
combined company to achieve positive cash flow from operations, will depend on increasing sales of
its products, which may not be achievable.
AxoGen has historically operated with negative cash flow from its operations. Management of
LecTec and AxoGen, in considering the advantages of the Merger, believes that additional capital to
invest in sales and marketing will provide AxoGen with a higher profile in its market and with its
customers and result in higher sales. However, if such beliefs turn out to be incorrect and AxoGen
product sales do not increase as anticipated, then LecTec shareholders will experience negative
cash flows and adverse operating conditions.
The issuance of shares of LecTec common stock to AxoGen stockholders in connection with the
Merger will substantially reduce the percentage ownership of current LecTec shareholders.
If
the Merger is completed and assuming that LecTec Net Cash (as defined
in the Merger Agreement), at the closing of the Merger is
$11,450,000, 6,106,201 shares of LecTecs common stock will be issued in exchange for the stock of
AxoGen, 557,941 shares of LecTec common stock will be reserved for issuance upon
15
exercise of AxoGen
stock options that will be converted into LecTec stock options pursuant to the Merger and certain
AxoGen stockholders will purchase 416,509 shares of LecTec common stock at $2.40 per share. The
exact number of shares of LecTec common stock to be issued, reserved for issuance or purchased will
adjust slightly based on the final LecTec Net Cash amount. LecTec shareholders will continue to own
their existing shares of LecTec common stock, which will not be affected by the Merger, other than
by the dilution resulting from the issuance of the above mentioned shares. As a result, current
LecTec shareholders will own approximately 40% of the shares of LecTec common stock outstanding and
on a fully diluted basis after the Merger. As such, current LecTec
shareholders will have a significant reduction in the relative percentage interests of
earnings, voting, liquidation, book and market value.
AxoGens security holders will collectively hold a large percentage of the outstanding LecTec
common stock after consummation of the Merger, and, should they choose to act together, will have
significant influence over the outcome of corporate actions requiring shareholder approval; such
shareholders priorities for LecTecs business may be different from LecTecs or its other
shareholders.
After completion of the Merger, the former AxoGen security holders (including investors other
than LecTec in certain convertible notes provided by AxoGen shareholders that will be
converted pursuant to the Merger and those purchasing LecTec common stock at closing) will
collectively hold approximately 60% of the outstanding LecTec common stock and the current LecTec
shareholders will hold approximately 40% of the outstanding LecTec common stock. Accordingly,
AxoGen security holders, should they choose to act together, will be able to significantly
influence the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matter submitted to the LecTec
shareholders for approval, including the election of directors, any merger, consolidation or sale
of all or substantially all of LecTecs assets or any other significant corporate transaction, such
that such AxoGen security holders, should they choose to act together, could delay or prevent a
change of control of LecTec, even if such a change of control would benefit LecTecs other
shareholders. The interests of such AxoGen investors may differ from the interests of LecTecs
other shareholders.
The
conditions to closing of Merger may be waived by LecTec or AxoGen without re-soliciting
LecTec shareholder or AxoGen shareholder approval of the Merger Agreement.
The Merger is subject to the
satisfaction of certain closing conditions set forth in the Merger
Agreement. These conditions may be waived by LecTec or AxoGen, subject to the agreement of the
other party in specific cases. In the event of a waiver of any condition, LecTec and AxoGen will not be required to
re-solicit the LecTec shareholders or AxoGen stockholders, and may complete the transaction without
seeking further shareholder approval.
If the conditions to the Merger are not met or waived, the Merger will not occur.
Even if the Merger is
approved by the shareholders of LecTec, specified conditions must be
satisfied or waived to complete the Merger, such as obtaining the
approval of
LecTecs shareholders,
LecTec having a Net Cash position at closing of cash, cash equivalents
and
loans to AxoGen, less any
liabilities, of at least $10.5 million, obtaining any necessary consents, the absence of any material adverse
change, continued accuracy of
the
representations and warranties of LecTec and AxoGen and the appointments and resignations of certain officers and directors of
LecTec. LecTec cannot assure you that all of the conditions
will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Merger will not occur or will
be delayed, which would result in the loss of some or all of the expected benefits of the Merger.
The date on which the Merger will close is uncertain.
The date on which the Merger will close depends on the satisfaction of the closing conditions
set forth in the Merger Agreement, or the waiver of those conditions by the parties thereto.
Although LecTec and AxoGen expect to complete the Merger within five
days of the LecTec 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders,
such closing may not take place as anticipated. Either LecTec or AxoGen may terminate the Merger
Agreement if the Merger has not taken place on or before September 30, 2011, unless the Merger
Agreement is amended to extend such date.
After the Merger, LecTec will continue to incur costs as a result of operating as a
public company, and its management may be required to devote substantial time to compliance
initiatives.
As a public company, LecTec currently incurs legal, accounting and other expenses. In
addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as rules subsequently implemented by the SEC and the
NASDAQ Stock Market, have imposed various requirements on public companies, including requiring
establishment and maintenance of effective disclosure and financial controls and changes in
corporate governance practices. LecTecs management devotes both time and financial resources to
these compliance initiatives.
16
After the Merger, LecTec will remain subject to all of its current public obligations,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. If, after the Merger, LecTec fails to staff its accounting and
finance function adequately, or maintain internal controls adequate to meet the demands that are
placed upon it as a public company, including the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, it may be
unable to report its financial results accurately or in a timely manner and its business and stock
price may suffer. The costs of being a public company, as well as diversion of managements time
and attention, may have a material adverse effect on LecTecs future business, financial condition
and results of operations.
LecTec may not have uncovered all the risks associated with the acquisition of AxoGen and a
significant liability may be discovered after closing of the Merger.
There may be risks that LecTec failed to discover in the course of performing its due
diligence investigations related to the acquisition of AxoGen, which could result in significant
liabilities arising after the consummation of the Merger. In connection with the acquisition of
AxoGen, LecTec will assume all of AxoGens liabilities, both pre-existing and contingent, as a
matter of law upon the exchange of all AxoGen securities. The Merger Agreement does not provide for
LecTecs indemnification by the former AxoGen stockholders against any of AxoGens liabilities,
should they arise or become known after the closing of the Merger. Furthermore, there is no escrow
account or indemnity agreement protecting LecTec in the event of any breach of AxoGens
representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement. While LecTec tried to minimize risks by
conducting due diligence that LecTec deemed appropriate under the circumstances, LecTec may not
have identified all existing or potential risks. Any significant liability that may arise may harm
LecTecs business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects by requiring LecTec to
expend significant funds to satisfy such liability.
If the Merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax
purposes, there could be adverse tax consequences for the AxoGen stockholders.
The Merger is intended to qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of
the Code and it is a condition to closing of the Merger that AxoGen receive an opinion from its
counsel to that effect. In the event that the Merger does not qualify as a reorganization, the
Merger would result in taxable gain or loss for each AxoGen stockholder, with the amount of such
gain or loss determined by the amount that each AxoGen stockholders adjusted tax basis in the
AxoGen common stock surrendered is less or more than the fair market value of the LecTec common
stock received in exchange therefor.
Risks Relating to LecTecs Business
LecTec has limited staffing.
LecTecs success is dependent upon the efforts of the LecTec Board of Directors and the full
time employees of LecTec. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, LecTec has two
full-time employees whose efforts are focused on its external reporting requirements, maintaining
its day-to-day operations and pursuing merger and acquisition opportunities. LecTec is considered a
small business issuer as defined under the rules of the SEC. Current legislation related to the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act and LecTecs efforts to become compliant thereunder, have been, and are expected
to be, costly to it despite the internal controls LecTec has in place. If its full-time employees
or members of the LecTec Board of Directors decide to depart from LecTec, it could be adversely
affected if suitable replacement personnel or directors are not quickly retained. The current
financial condition and associated risks of LecTec may make it difficult to retain and attract, if
necessary, qualified personnel. LecTec currently has a key man life insurance policy on its CEO and
CFO, Gregory G. Freitag, in the amount of $2,000,000.
The price of LecTecs common stock could be highly volatile due to a number of factors.
The trading price of LecTec common stock may fluctuate widely as a result of a number of
factors, including:
|
|
|
trading of LecTec common stock on the OTCBB;
|
|
|
|
|
limited daily trading volume resulting in the lack of a liquid market; |
|
|
|
|
fluctuations in price and volume due to investor
speculation, internet message postings, and other
factors that may not be tied to the financial
performance by LecTec; |
|
|
|
|
performance by LecTec in the execution of its business plan; |
17
|
|
|
regulatory developments in both the United States and foreign countries; |
|
|
|
|
performance of products sold and advertised by licensees in the marketplace; |
|
|
|
|
economic and other external factors; and |
|
|
|
|
period-to-period fluctuations in financial results. |
LecTec does not meet the criteria to list its common stock on an exchange such as the NASDAQ
Stock Market and its common stock is illiquid and may be difficult to sell.
Trading of LecTecs common stock is conducted on the OTCBB. Generally, securities that are
quoted on the OTCBB lack liquidity and analyst coverage. This may result in lower prices for its
common stock than might otherwise be obtained if it met the criteria to list its securities on a
larger or more established exchange, such as the NASDAQ Capital Market, and could also result in a
larger spread between the bid and asked prices for its common stock.
In addition, there has been only limited trading activity in LecTecs common stock. The
relatively small trading volume will likely make it difficult for LecTec shareholders to sell their
common stock as, and when, they choose. As a result, investors may not always be able to resell
shares of LecTec common stock publicly at the time and prices that they feel are fair or
appropriate.
LecTecs ongoing royalty stream is derived from its only licensing agreement; the amount of
royalties resulting from this licensing agreement is uncertain.
LecTec currently receives royalty income pursuant to a licensing agreement it has with
Novartis related to the sales of an adult vapor patch. Such royalty payments were $111,376 and
$91,273 in the years ended 2009 and 2010, respectively. Royalties resulting from such license
provide limited funds to continuing operations and are uncertain because of the acceptance of the
product in the marketplace, severity of the cough, cold and flu seasons, marketing efforts by
Novartis and other factors that LecTec is unable to control. Year over year the Novartis royalties
have declined and there can be no assurance that this trend will not continue. Currently, LecTec
has no other licensing arrangements in place and there is no assurance that LecTec will be able to
enter into additional licensing agreements.
If licensees of LecTecs patents do not comply with regulatory requirements when marketing
products which rely on LecTecs patents, LecTecs royalties could be negatively affected.
The research, development, manufacture, labeling, distribution, marketing and advertising of
products that are sold by licensees in reliance on LecTecs patents are subject to extensive
regulation by governmental regulatory authorities in the United States and other countries. Failure
by such licensees to comply with regulatory requirements for marketing their products could subject
them to regulatory or judicial enforcement actions, including, but not limited to, product recalls
or seizures, injunctions, civil penalties, criminal prosecution, refusals to approve new products
and suspensions and withdrawals of existing approvals. This in turn could decrease the revenues
generated by such patent licensees and thereby decrease LecTecs royalty income.
If products relying on LecTecs patents are no longer regulated as over-the-counter products,
LecTec royalties could be negatively affected.
Currently, many of the therapeutic consumer products that are or could be sold in reliance on
LecTecs patents are regulated as over-the-counter products. LecTec cannot assure you that the U.S.
Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will continue to regulate these products as over-the-counter
products. If the FDA changes its approach to regulating such therapeutic consumer products, the
licensees would be faced with significant additional costs and may be unable to sell some or all of
the products. Any such change could have a negative effect on the licensees revenues, which in
turn could decrease LecTecs royalty income.
LecTecs patents and other proprietary rights provide uncertain protection of LecTec
proprietary information and LecTecs inability to protect a patent or other proprietary rights may
adversely affect its business.
The patent and other proprietary rights position of companies such as LecTecs is uncertain
and involves complex legal and factual questions. Issued patents can later be held invalid by the
patent office issuing the patent or by a court. LecTec cannot assure you that LecTecs patents will
not be challenged, invalidated or
18
circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide
LecTec value. Many other organizations, with substantially greater resources than LecTecs, are
engaged in research and development of technologies and products. Such organizations may currently
have, or may obtain in the future, legally blocking proprietary rights, including patent rights, in
one or more technologies, products or methods which LecTec currently considers proprietary to
LecTec. LecTec has taken steps and incurred expenses to protect and evaluate LecTecs patent
portfolio in an effort to verify and determine the validity of LecTecs patent rights. The outcome
of this evaluation is uncertain and could be challenged. Moreover, LecTec can provide no assurance
that confidentiality agreements, trade secrecy agreements or similar agreements intended to protect
unpatented technology will provide the intended protection. Intellectual property litigation is
extremely expensive and time-consuming, and it is often difficult, if not impossible, to predict
the outcome of such litigation. Currently
LecTec has ended all of its previous patent litigation and does not expect to proceed with any
further litigation unless circumstances regarding LecTecs intellectual property changes.
LecTecs patents have a limited life and finite expiration periods.
Although LecTec has new patents pending approval, including a patent for the hand sanitizer
patch, patent life of LecTecs patents range from one to 11 years.
The issuance of new accounting pronouncements may have an impact on financial results.
The issuance of accounting pronouncements may affect LecTecs results from time to time
depending on specific issues relevant to LecTec, as well as adoption dates and alternatives that
LecTec may choose with respect to the particular pronouncement.
