Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

March 31, 2010 and 2009


Note A – Description of Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


1.  Organization of Business


Hydron Technologies, Inc. (“the Company”), a New York corporation organized on January 30, 1948, maintains its principal office in St. Petersburg, Florida.


Through September 30, 2008, Hydron Technologies, Inc. marketed a broad range of cosmetic and oral health care products, many using a moisture-attracting ingredient (the “Hydron® polymer”) and a topical delivery system for active ingredients including pharmaceuticals. The Company holds U.S. and international patents on, what management believes is, the only known cosmetically acceptable method to suspend the Hydron polymer in a stable emulsion for use in personal care/cosmetic products. The Company also developed other personal care/cosmetic products for consumers using its patented technology.


The Company has also developed a super-oxygenation technology for which it was granted a patent in November 2003. This patent covers the process of applying a liquid, containing pure oxygen micro-bubbles to the surface of the skin such that the oxygen penetrates the skin and oxygenates the underlying tissue.  On January 10, 2005, the Company attended a Pre-Investigational Device Exemption meeting with the FDA in the belief that a clear pathway for safety and clinical research requirements could be determined at that time; however, a defined methodology could not be agreed upon. As a result of that meeting, and in consideration of the Company’s limited working capital, management decided to refocus its efforts on non-medical technologies. The Company continues to believe that its tissue oxygenation technology has significant potential.


On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into certain agreements with Brand Builders International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Harezi”) effective October 1, 2008, relating to a joint venture between the Company and Harezi to be formed as Brand Builders Rx, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Joint Venture”).  The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of designing, marketing, selling, and managing certain technologies and products including, but not limited to, those contributed by the Company.  


Brand Builders International was founded by Ilonka Harezi, the driving force behind Teslar Technology and the Philip Stein Teslar watches.  The new Joint Venture, was intended to combine the expertise of the two entities for the re-positioning and re-launching of the Hydron named brands, utilizing the marketing and distribution expertise of Ilonka Harezi, her success with the Teslar brand and her Brand Builders International team.  


During the past several years the Company has attempted to expand its sales through various marketing efforts.  The Company was unable to finance these marketing initiatives from internally generated cash flow alone and when required, raised the needed capital through a number of private placements in its effort to remain solvent.   Up and through 2008, the negative cash position became critical and the Company’s Board of Directors weighed a wide variety of alternatives, including bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, the selling of assets and/or potential mergers with other parties. Only the merger option was deemed to provide any potential benefit to existing shareholders.


The Company began discussions with Ilonka Harezi and one other interested prospective investor during the first calendar quarter of 2008.  Because of the limited financial resources of the Company, the Company was unable to engage an outside placement agent and instead relied on leads obtained from the officers and directors of the Company.  These discussions failed because, at that time the Company’s balance sheet and substantially negative cash flow were significant liabilities that offset the potential value the Company would contribute to a merger. A subsequent discussion with another potential merger partner failed for similar reasons.


As conditions deteriorated, the Company was faced with the possibility of immediate bankruptcy, which would have effectively eliminated all shareholder equity. The Company’s Board of Directors sought ways to quickly and decisively protect shareholder value.  Talks were reopened with Ms. Harezi and initial terms to create a 50/50% LLC were agreed upon in principle.

March 31, 2010 and 2009


Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company contributed cash, substantially all of its operating assets and licensed its patented technologies to the Joint Venture. Harezi contributed cash, on-going financing, and a new headquarters and provided sales and marketing expertise, including public relations, the filming of television commercials, production of print media and the building of a sales force in the United States and internationally.  The Agreement was contingent upon the Company eliminating all debt and being current on its payables.


Faced with the necessity to raise the money required to meet the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement and to fund the Company's anticipated expenses until the Joint Venture was expected to deliver results, the Board concluded that the best available option for the Company was to raise the funds by soliciting interest in the Company's only other salable asset, the potential value of the cross-royalty arrangement with Valera Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Valera”), which is held indirectly by the Company through its interest in Hydron Royalty Partners, Ltd., LLLP, a Florida limited partnership (the “Partnership”). Based on the Company's balance sheet, debt position, and the results of other options explored to date, the Company determined that no other available option would raise the necessary funds in the timeframe necessary to complete the Joint Venture.  


On July 2, 2008 by Unanimous Written Consent, the Board of Directors authorized an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation (the Certificate) to designate the terms of a Series A Preferred Shares offering from authorized undesignated shares of Preferred Stock as allowed by its Certificate and New York law.  On July 30, 2008 the Company closed on a $1.3 million private placement of Series A Preferred Shares which was raised primarily through existing accredited Hydron common shareholders.


Following the closing of the Series A Preferred Shares offering, funds received by the Company relating to any royalties derived by the Partnership from the Valera Agreement will be paid as dividends to the extent legally available to holders of the Series A Preferred Shares, subject to the terms of the Series A Preferred Shares and New York law.  Holders of the Series A Preferred Shares are not entitled to receive dividends or other distributions, other than the stated value of their shares, derived from any other revenues of the Company, including distributions, if any, made to the Company by the Joint Venture.


Subsequent to March 31, 2009, the Company and BBRX became aware of potentially fraudulent transactions and both parties are investigating the nature, perpetrators, and scope of the fraudulent activity. Based on our findings to date, the Company believes that the financial statements as reported herein and previously reported are not materially misstated as a result of these suspected fraudulent transactions.


Basis of Presentation and Going Concern


The unaudited consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting and include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. These consolidated financial statements have not been audited.


Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations for interim reporting. The Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, these consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report for the year ended September 30, 2009, which is included in the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. The financial data for the interim periods presented may not necessarily reflect the results to be anticipated for the complete year.


In November 2008, the Company transferred substantially all of its assets, including all of its operating assets, to Brand Builders International, LLC (the "JV").  Although the Company holds a 50% member interest and has representation on the JV's board of managers, the Company no longer operates the business. The financial information we are relying on was provided to the Company by the JV.

Hydron Technologies, Inc

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

March 31, 2010 and 2009


The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. This basis of accounting contemplates the recovery of the Company’s assets and the satisfaction of its liabilities in the normal course of operations.


The Company's independent accountants issued a “going concern” opinion on the Company’s September 30, 2009 financial statements, since the Company has experienced losses from operations in 2009 and 2008. This matter raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern


Note B – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Principles of Consolidation


The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Hydron Technologies, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary CRI purchased as of July 1, 2005, and its majority owned limited liability limited partnership, Hydron Royalty Partners Ltd., LLLP. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires Management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The credit risk associated with cash equivalents is considered low due to the credit quality of the issuers of the financial instruments.


Restricted cash


The Company had restricted cash of $2,366 and $2,454 at March 31, 2010 and September 30, 2009 respectively, all of which were covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission, which represents funds from a consolidated entity, that are not available for use in the Company's normal operations.


Concentration of Credit Risk


Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash deposits. Accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $250,000. At March 31, 2010, the Company had no amounts in excess of FDIC insured limit. While the Company periodically evaluates the credit quality of the financial institutions in which it holds deposits, it cannot reasonably alleviate the risk associated with the sudden possible failures of such institutions.


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets and the related estimated remaining useful lives when events or circumstances lead management to believe that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. In such circumstances, those assets are written down to estimated fair value. The Company recognizes an impairment loss when the sum of expected undiscounted future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the asset. The amount of impairment is measured as the difference between the asset's estimated fair value and its book value.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

March 31, 2010 and 2009


Deferred Product Costs


Deferred product costs consist primarily of costs incurred for the purchase and development of patents and product rights. The deferred product costs are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of five to seventeen years using the straight-line method.


Investments


The Company accounts for its investments using the equity method unless the value of an investment has been determined to be other than temporarily impaired, in which case we write the investment down to its impaired value. The Company reviews these investments periodically for impairment and makes appropriate reductions in carrying values when the other-than-temporary decline is evident; however, for non-marketable equity securities, the impairment analysis requires significant judgment. During its review, the Company evaluates the financial condition of the investment, market conditions, and other factors providing an indication of the fair value of the investments. Adverse changes in market conditions or operating results of the issuer that differ from expectations, could result in additional other-than-temporary losses in future periods.


Non-controlling Interest


Non-controlling interests in our subsidiary are recorded as a component of our equity, separate from the parent’s equity.  Purchase or sale of equity interests that do not result in a change of control are accounted for as equity transactions.  Results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are included in our consolidated results of operations and, upon loss of control, the interest sold, as well as interest retained, if any, will be reported at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in earnings.


Income Taxes


Under the asset and liability method prescribed under ASC 740, Income Taxes, The Company uses the liability method of accounting for income taxes.  The liability method measures  deferred income taxes by applying  enacted  statutory rates in effect at the  balance  sheet date to the  differences  between the tax basis of assets and  liabilities  and their  reported  amounts on the  financial statements.  The resulting deferred tax assets or liabilities are adjusted to reflect changes in tax laws as they occur. A valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.


The Company recognizes the financial  statement benefit of an uncertain tax position only after  considering  the  probability  that a tax  authority  would sustain  the  position  in  an   examination.   For  tax  positions   meeting  a "more-likely-than-not"   threshold,  the  amount  recognized  in  the  financial statements is the benefit  expected to be realized upon  settlement with the tax authority.  For tax positions not meeting the threshold, no financial statement benefit is recognized.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company has had no uncertain tax positions.  The Company recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as general and administrative expenses.  The Company currently has no federal or state tax examinations nor has it had any federal or state examinations since its inception.  All of the Company's tax years are subject to federal and state tax examination.  


Common Stock, Common Stock Options


The Company uses the fair value recognition provision of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of any equity instruments on the grant date.


The Company also uses the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees,” to account for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services. Such awards for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASC 505-50.

March 31, 2010 and 2009


For the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0 and $7,800 respectively. For the six month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $950 and $8,630 respectively.


Earnings (loss) Per Share


Basic income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each reporting period.  Diluted loss per share includes potentially dilutive securities such as outstanding options and warrants, using various methods such as the treasury stock or modified treasury stock method in the determination of dilutive shares outstanding during each reporting period.   Common equivalent shares are excluded from the computation of net loss per share since their effect is anti-dilutive.  


For the net-loss periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, we excluded any effect of the 605,000 and 0, and 670,000 and 412,000 outstanding options and warrants, respectively, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.


Discontinued Operations


On November 11, 2008, the Company, entered into certain agreements with Brand Builders International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Harezi”) relating to a joint venture between the Company and Harezi to be formed as Brand Builders Rx, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Joint Venture”).  The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of designing, marketing, selling, and managing certain technologies and products including, but not limited to, those contributed by the Company.  


Pursuant to the Capital Contribution Agreement, the Company contributed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in cash and assigned substantially all of its assets, other than certain excluded assets provided therein, and license or sublicense certain rights to the Company’s intellectual property, subject to performance and payment obligations of the Joint Venture and to the terms of the License Agreement entered into between the Company and the Joint Venture.  The Company assigned such assets to the Joint Venture pursuant to the Assignment Agreement.  


Accordingly, the Company has reported the assets assigned as discontinued operations, and prior periods have been restated in the Company’s financial statements and related footnotes to conform to this presentation


Fair value of Financial Instruments


The Company adopted ASC topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (ASC 820), formerly SFAS No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements,” effective January 1, 2009.  ASC 820 defines “fair value” as the 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.  There was no impact relating to the adoption of ASC 820 to the Company’s financial statements.


ASC 820 also describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:


  

Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities traded in active markets.

  

  

  

  

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  

  

  

  

Level 3: Inputs that are generally unobservable. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value.

Financial instruments consist principally of cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. The carrying amounts of such financial instruments in the accompanying balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their relatively short-term nature.  It is management’s opinion that the Company is not exposed to any significant currency or credit risks arising from these financial instruments.


Recent accounting Pronouncements


Subsequent Events

(Included in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 855 “Subsequent Events”, previously SFAS No. 165 “Subsequent Events”)


ACS 855 established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date, but before the financial statements are issued or available to be issued (“subsequent events”). An entity is required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and the basis for that date. For public entities, this is the date the financial statements are issued. ACS 855 does not apply to subsequent events or transactions that are within the scope of other GAAP and did not result in significant changes in the subsequent events reported by the Company. ACS 855 became effective for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009 and did not impact the Company’s financial statements. The Company evaluated for subsequent events through the issuance date of the Company’s financial statements. No recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted.


Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets

(Included in ASC 350 “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other”, previously FSP SFAS No. 142-3 “Determination of the Useful Lives of Intangible Assets”)


ACS 350 amended the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under previously issued goodwill and intangible assets topics. This change was intended to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under topics related to business combinations and other GAAP. The requirement for determining useful lives must be applied prospectively to intangible assets acquired after the effective date and the disclosure requirements must be applied prospectively to all intangible assets recognized as of, and subsequent to, the effective date. ACS 350 became effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of ACS 350 did not impact the Company’s financial statements.


Non-controlling Interests

(Included in ASC 810 “Consolidation”, previously SFAS No. 160 “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51”)


ACS 810 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests such that they will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. ACS 810became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 with early application prohibited. The Company implemented ACS 810 at the start of fiscal 2010 and no longer records an intangible asset when the purchase price of a non-controlling interest exceeds the book value at the time of buyout. Any excess or shortfall for buyouts of non-controlling interests is recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital in stockholders’ equity. Any shortfall resulting from the early buyout of non-controlling interests will continue to be recognized as a benefit in partner investment expense up to the initial amount recognized at the time of buy-in. Additionally, operating losses can be allocated to non-controlling interests even when such allocation results in a deficit balance (i.e. book value can go negative).


The Company presents non-controlling interests (previously shown as minority interest) as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets. Minority interest expense is no longer separately reported as a reduction to net income on the consolidated income statement, but is instead shown below net income under the heading “net income attributable to non-controlling interests.” The company adopted ACS 810 as of fiscal 2010.

Note C – Investment in Brand Builders Rx, LLC


On November 11, 2008, the Company, entered into certain agreements with Brand Builders International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Harezi”) relating to a joint venture between the Company and Harezi to be formed as Brand Builders Rx, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Joint Venture”).  The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of designing, marketing, selling, and managing certain technologies and products including, but not limited to, those contributed by the Company.  


The terms of the Joint Venture’s business and contractual relationship are governed by the following agreements, all of which are dated as of October 1, 2008: (i) Capital Contribution and Joint Venture Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”); (ii) Assignment and Assumption Agreement (the “Assignment Agreement”); (iii) License Agreement; (iv) Limited Liability Company Agreement (“LLC Agreement”); (v) Buy-Sell Agreement; and (vi) Management Services Agreement (collectively, the “Joint Venture Documents”).


Pursuant to the Capital Contribution Agreement, the Company contributed Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) in cash and assigned substantially all of its assets, other than certain excluded assets provided therein, and license or sublicense certain rights to the  Company’s intellectual property, subject to performance and payment obligations of the Joint Venture and to the terms of the License Agreement entered into between the Company and the Joint Venture.  The Company assigned such assets valued at $490,303 to the Joint Venture pursuant to the Assignment Agreement.


As contemplated by the Joint Venture Documents and discussed with Harezi, Harezi will contribute cash, financing, a new headquarters, marketing expertise, including public relations, filming of television commercials, print media production and the building of a domestic and international sales force.  


Pursuant to the Company’s LLC Agreement, the Company and Harezi each own a fifty percent (50%) member interest in the Joint Venture.  The Joint Venture is controlled by the board of managers composed of four (4) managers, three of which are appointed by Harezi and one of which shall be appointed by the Company. The Company initially appointed Richard Banakus, the Company’s Chairman and Interim President as its initial manager. Certain major decisions will require the unanimous approval of the Joint Venture’s board of managers.


The Management Services Agreement between the Joint Venture and the Company entitles Harezi to a management fee in exchange for Harezi’s marketing, administrative and management services.  The management fee is equal to an additional ten percent (10%)  of the total amount of distributions made to the members of the Joint Venture, other than distributions made for the purpose of paying taxes.  


The Company and Harezi entered into a Buy-Sell Agreement providing for restrictions on transfer of its respective member interests in the Joint Venture, including right of first refusals, come-along rights and drag-along rights.

Note D – Share Based Compensation


The Company recognized $950 and $8,630 in share based compensation expense for the six month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. An option to purchase 25,000 shares was granted to a director during the six months ended March 31, 2010. An option to purchase 400,000 shares was granted to a consultant during the six months ended March 31, 2009 which were subsequently forfeited. An option to purchase 20,000 shares was granted to a director during the three months ended March 31, 2009.


 For the stock-based awards granted on or after January 1, 2006, the Company is amortizing stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally a one year vesting period.  


The fair value of the options is the estimated value at October 23, 2009 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: Exercise price of $0.038; expected volatility of 372% a risk free interest rate of 2.5%; and expected term of 5 years.


The fair value of the directors rights is the estimated value at January 9, 2009 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following weighted average assumptions: exercise price of $0.0415; expected volatility of 462% a risk free interest rate of 1.5%; and expected term of 5 years.

March 31, 2010 and 2009


The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. As the Company's stock options have characteristics significantly different than those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in Management's opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its stock options.

Note F – Equity


Common Stock


For the three month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0 and $830 respectively.


For the six month period ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $750 and $8,630 respectively.


Note G – Management’s Plan


As a consequence of its participation in the Joint Venture, the Company’s need for cash is no longer tied to funding the working capital and other capital requirement of an operating business.  Other than the obligation to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares to the extent of distributions received from the Partnership from funds legally available, the Company will have only certain administrative costs, including legal and accounting costs relating to the preparation and filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the Company believes that its current capital balances will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs for at least the next year.  Additionally, while the Company has retained certain liabilities, it has retained sufficient cash to meet them should they become payable and due.


The Company's working capital was approximately ($198,000) at March 31, 2010, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $30,000. Cash used by continuing operating activities was approximately $21,000 during the period ended March 31, 2010.


Hydron Continuing Operations


The Company’s continuing operations include:

1.     Its 50% investment in the Joint Venture

Business


In November 2003, the Company was granted a patent on its new oxygenation technology that provides a method for delivering oxygen into the skin and tissue at depths considered medically therapeutic. This unique technology utilizes topical applications, eliminating reliance on the blood stream. Preliminary research was conducted at the University of Massachusetts and Florida Atlantic University and the process to obtain FDA approval was initiated. Management plans to research additional medical applications if and when Hydron obtains FDA approval.  


The Company raised $1.1 million in December 2003 in a non-brokered private placement exempt from registration under the Securities Act to fund the initial research and initiate the lengthy FDA approval process. As research results begin to quantify the broad applications of this technology and the FDA hurdles are passed, management anticipates that Hydron will attract key strategic partners and new investment money will become available. Management also expects that product development will accelerate in medical areas such as wound and burn treatment, and skin care applications such as scar reduction, acne, and diaper rash treatment, oral health, etc.


In August 2004, Hydron, as general partner, formed the Partnership for the purpose of funding existing royalty obligations and a portion of future royalty obligations in consideration of sharing future royalty income that may arise from Hydron’s agreement with Valera. The Partnership completed a non-brokered private placement of Limited Partnership Interest to ten accredited investors including Hydron’s Chairman, Richard Banakus and three other Hydron Directors, Ronald J. Saul, Regis Synan and Donna M. Murphy. Each limited partner invested $30,000 or an aggregate of $300,000 for a 49.999% interest in the Partnership. The establishment of the Partnership allowed Hydron to meet its current and future royalty obligations and retain the possibility of a significant royalty income stream opportunity.


In late January 2005, the Company refocused its efforts to skin care formulations and sales.  On July 1, 2005, the Company purchased CRI, Inc. and BRI, Inc., related companies providing both skin care formulation consulting and a newly started contract manufacturing business.  The Company believed that the vertical capabilities added by this acquisition would be beneficial to the Company as it expands beyond its historical base.


In January 2006, the Company was granted U.S. Patent Number 6,984,391 for its Compositions and Method for Delivery of Skin Cosmeceuticals, which also applies to a new acne treatment system.  The Company believes that this unique emulsion system has significant advantages over the widely used surfactant emulsions employed by most skin care formulators and manufacturers, and will seek licensing opportunities whenever possible.


16



On November 11, 2008, the Company entered into certain agreements with Brand Builders International, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Harezi”) effective October 1, 2008, relating to a joint venture between the Company and Harezi to be formed as Brand Builders Rx, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Joint Venture”).  The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of designing, marketing, selling, and managing certain technologies and products including, but not limited to, those contributed by the Company.  


Liquidity


As a consequence of its participation in the Joint Venture, the Company’s need for cash is no longer tied to funding the working capital and other capital requirement of an operating business.  Other than the obligation to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares to the extent of distributions received from the Partnership from funds legally available, the Company will only have certain administrative costs, including legal and accounting costs relating to the preparation and filing of periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission. As a result, the Company believes that its current capital balances will be sufficient to meet its working capital needs for at least the next two years after being repaid the demand promissory notes from the Joint Venture.  Additionally, while the Company has retained certain liabilities, it has retained sufficient cash to meet them should they become payable and due.


The Company's working capital was approximately ($198,000) at March 31, 2010, including cash and cash equivalents of approximately $30,000. Cash used by continuing operating activities was approximately $21,000 during the period ended March 31, 2010.


Hydron Continuing Operations


The Company’s continuing operations include:

1.     Its 50% investment in the Joint Venture

2.     Its ownership and licensing of its patented intellectual property


Investment in Brand Builders Rx, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Joint Venture”)


The Company owns a 50% interest in the Joint Venture and under the terms of the Joint Venture Agreement, will share in 50% of the Joint Venture net profits if earned.  The Company’s risk is limited to its original investment.


Licensing of the Company’s Patented Intellectual Property


The Company continues to own its patented intellectual property (“IP”) but has licensed its use according to the terms agreed to in the Joint Venture Agreement.  With the exception of the super-oxygenation technology the licensing is royalty free to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture is however responsible to the Company for any royalties required to be paid by Hydron under the Hydron Agreement.


Majority ownership of Hydron Royalty Partners Ltd., LLLP (the “Partnership”)


The Company will continue to serve as General Partner and own the majority ownership percentage of the Partnership.


Results of Operations


Results of Operations - 2010 versus 2009

The decrease is due to The Company being reimbursed from Brand Builders Rx in the amount of $8,399 for the royalty expenses in the six months ended March 2010. An aggregate of $3,773 was accrued and unpaid as of March 31, 2010. This amount is adequate to cover any royalties that are payable through March 2010.

The decrease is due primarily to decreased professional fees due to the joint venture in 2008.


17



Amortization expense was $5,295 for the six months ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of $1,801 or 25% from $7,096 for the six months ended March 31, 2009.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies


The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to bad debts, investments, intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.


Management believes the following critical accounting policies are significant in preparation of our financial statements.


Share Based Payments


The Company uses the fair value recognition provision of ASC 718, “Compensation-Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of such instruments. The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the fair value of any equity instruments on the grant date.


The Company also uses the provisions of ASC 505-50, “Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees,” to account for stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services. Such awards for services are recorded at either the fair value of the services rendered or the instruments issued in exchange for such services, whichever is more readily determinable, using the measurement date guidelines enumerated in ASC 505-50.

Item 4T.  Controls and Procedures


Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.


The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and other procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in its reports filed or submitted 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 accurately to the Company’s management, including its Chairman of the Board and Interim President who also acts as our principal financial and principal accounting officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can only provide reasonable, not absolute assurance, that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.


For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, management, with the participation of the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Interim President who also acts as our principal financial and principal accounting officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s Chairman of the Board and Interim President who also acts as our principal financial and principal accounting officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


The Company has also established and maintains internal control over financial reporting as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In the ordinary course of business, the Company routinely enhances its internal controls and procedures for financial reporting by either upgrading its current systems or implementing new systems. During the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2010, there was no change in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-5(f) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
