NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Medical Action Industries Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or “ourselves”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q for quarterly reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the six month period ended September 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

A summary of our significant accounting policies is identified in Note 1 “Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Users of financial information produced for interim periods are encouraged to refer to the notes contained in the 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies or to the assumptions and estimates involved in applying these policies. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. All dollar amounts presented in our notes to condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands, except share and per share data.

We identified an immaterial error in the classification of debt issuance costs in its condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended June 30, 2013 reported in our Form 10-Q dated August 2, 2013 whereas debt issuance costs of $1,018 were classified as operating activities and should have been presented as financing activities. The impact of this error resulted in cash flows from operating activities being understated by $1,018 and cash flows from financing activities being overstated by the same amount. The accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended September 30, 2013 appropriately reflects total debt issuance costs incurred to date of $1,137 as financing activities.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The preparation of consolidated annual and quarterly financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We have made a number of estimates and assumptions in the preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements. We can give no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates. Some of the more significant estimates include allowances for trade rebates and doubtful accounts, realizability of inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets, valuation of deferred tax assets, pensions and other postretirement benefits and environmental and litigation matters. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Note 1 of the notes to our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2013.

Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists

In July 2013, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2013-11 relating to income taxes (FASB ASC 740 – Income Taxes), which provides guidance on the presentation of unrecognized tax benefits. The intent is to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exist. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing

In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment ASU 2012-02, which amended the provisions of FASB ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount before applying the second step of the impairment test. If an entity concludes that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it would not be required to perform the second step of the impairment test for that indefinite-lived intangible asset. The new standard is effective for annual and interim indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment tests performed in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, which for us was April 1, 2013. We will consider this new standard when conducting our annual impairment test of indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Note 4. Inventories

Inventories, which are stated at the lower of cost (determined by means of the first in, first out method) or market, consist of the following:

	September 30, 2013		March 31, 2013
Finished goods, net	$	26,478	$	30,531
Raw materials, net		18,276		17,766
Work in progress, net		7,164		4,717

Total inventories, net	$	51,918	$	53,014

On a continuing basis, inventory quantities on hand are reviewed and an analysis of the provision for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory is performed based primarily on our sales history and anticipated future demand. The reserve for slow moving, excess and obsolete inventory amounted to approximately $1,538 at September 30, 2013 and $1,091 at March 31, 2013.

Note 5. Related Party Transactions

As part of the assets and liabilities acquired in August 2010 as a result of the AVID acquisition, we assumed a capital lease obligation for the AVID facility located in Toano, Virginia. The facility, which includes an 185,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building and approximately 12 acres of land, is owned by Micpar Realty, LLC (“Micpar”). AVID’s founder, former CEO and principal shareholder, is a part owner of Micpar and subsequent to the acquisition of AVID, he was elected to our board of directors. As of August 2012, he no longer serves on our Board of Directors

The gross amount and net book value of the assets under the capital lease are as follows:

	September 30, 2013			March 31, 2013
Capital lease, gross	$	11,409		$	11,409
Less: Accumulated amortization		(1,893	)		(1,586	)
Capital lease, net	$	9,516		$	9,823

During the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we recorded $153 (of which $35 is included in our cost of sales and $118 is included in our selling, general and administrative expenses) of amortization expense and $307 (of which $71 is included in our cost of sales and $236 is included in our selling, general and administrative expenses) of amortization expense associated with the capital lease, respectively.

As of September 30, 2013, the capital lease requires monthly payments of $127 with increases of 2% per annum. The lease contains provisions for an option to buy in January of 2014 and January of 2016 and expires in March 2029. The effective rate on the capital lease obligation is 9.9%. We recorded interest expense associated with the lease obligation of $335 and $339 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively and $671 and $678 for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following is a schedule by years of the future minimum lease payments under the capital lease as of September 30, 2013:

	Capital Lease Payments
Balance of Fiscal 2014	$	759
2015		1,549
2016		1,580
2017		1,611
2018		1,643
Thereafter		20,399
Total minimum lease payments		27,541
Less: Amounts representing interest		13,977
Present value of minimum lease payments		13,564
Less: Current portion of capital lease obligation		201
Long-term portion of capital lease obligation	$	13,363

A current member of our board of directors is currently a minority shareholder of Custom Healthcare Systems (“CHS”), an assembler and packager of Class 1 medical products. CHS is a supplier to our AVID facility located in Toano, Virginia for small kits and trays. They also purchase sterile instruments from our facility located in Arden, North Carolina. CHS sold approximately $482 and $919 in small kits and trays to us during the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, respectively and approximately $453 and $889 in small kits and trays during the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively and purchased approximately $281 and $494 of sterile instruments from us during the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, respectively and approximately $200 and $463 of sterile instruments from us during the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, $251 and $265, respectively, was due to us from CHS. As of September 30, 2013 and March 31, 2013, $26 and $45, respectively, was due to CHS from us.

On June 7, 2012, we entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Prior Credit Agreement”) with certain lenders and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. acting as administrative agent for the lenders. The Prior Credit Agreement provided us with total borrowings of up to $76,000, consisting of (1) a secured term loan with a principal amount of $51,000 and (2) a secured revolving credit facility, which amounts could have been borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed up to $25,000. Both the term loan and the revolving credit facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 4% under the terms of the Prior Credit Agreement.

On May 17, 2013, we entered into a credit agreement (the “New Credit Agreement”), among ourselves, as borrower and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and lender. The New Credit Agreement provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $65,000 consisting of the following loans: (1) a $11,505 secured term loan (the “Term Loan”) with $10,957 outstanding at September 30, 2013, (2) $5,000 in secured delayed draw term loans (collectively, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) which had not been drawn upon by us at September 30, 2013 and (3) up to $53,495 in revolving loans (collectively, the “Revolving Loans”), with $31,352 outstanding at September 30, 2013, which Revolving Loans may be reduced by the amount of any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans drawn by us. The proceeds from the New Credit Agreement were used to repay and cancel all amounts due under the Prior Credit Agreement. The balance sheet classification of our debt at March 31, 2013 is based on the maturity terms of the New Credit Agreement. For further information, refer to note 7, Long Term Debt, in our consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Revolving Loans will be used to finance our working capital needs and general corporate purposes and for permitted acquisitions. The Term Loan and Revolving Loan mature on May 17, 2018. The commitments, with respect to the Delayed Draw Term Loans, terminate on May 17, 2015 and any Delayed Draw Term Loans drawn by us also mature on May 17, 2015. The Term Loan amortizes in consecutive monthly installments, each in the principal amount of $137, commencing June 1, 2013. Any Delayed Draw Term Loan drawn by us will amortize in consecutive monthly installments, each in the principal amount equal to the result of (1) the original principal amount of such Delayed Draw Term Loan divided by (2) the number of months remaining from the date the Delayed Draw Term Loan was drawn until May 17, 2015. Any undrawn commitments under the Delayed Draw Term Loans are reduced by $208 on each calendar month, commencing June 1, 2013.

Term Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our election, (1) LIBOR Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00%, depending on the Average Excess Availability (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation. Revolving Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our election (1) LIBOR Rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation. Additionally, we are required to pay an unused line fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% on the daily unused amount of the Revolving Loan commitments of the Lender during the period for which the payment is made, payable monthly in arrears. If drawn, Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our election (1) LIBOR Rate plus a margin ranging from 4.25% to 4.75%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 3.25% to 3.75%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation.

The average interest rate on the Term Loans under the New Credit Agreement and term loans under the Prior Credit Agreement approximated 4.53% and 4.07% during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The average interest rate on our revolving loans under the New Credit Agreement and revolving loans under the Prior Credit Agreement approximated 4.49% and 4.68% during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our availability for our revolving loans under the New Credit Agreement was $18,008 as of September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the New Credit Agreement.

Note 8. Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We have various stock-based compensation plans and recognized stock-based compensation (exclusive of deferred tax benefits) for awards granted under our stock-based compensation plans in the following line items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,
	2013		2012		2013		2012

We granted 473,500 stock options to employees during the six months ended September 30, 2013, which vest 25% during fiscal 2016, 25% during fiscal 2017 and 50% during fiscal 2018. The options expire 10 years from the date of grant and have a weighted average exercise price equal to $8.13 per share, have a weighted average remaining contractual term of 9.7 years and weighted average grant date fair value of $4.44 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes option valuation model. In addition to the above employee stock option grants, we granted 37,500 stock options to members of our Board of Directors during the three and six months ended September 30, 2013, which became fully vested upon issuance. These options have a weighted average exercise price equal to $6.35 per share, have a weighted average remaining contractual term of 9.9 years and a weighted average grant date fair value of $3.59 per share based upon a Black-Scholes option valuation model.

We granted 257,500 stock options to employees during the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, which vest 25% during fiscal 2015, 25% during fiscal 2016 and 50% during fiscal 2017. The options expire 10 years from date of grant and have a weighted average remaining contractual term of 8.7 years and weighted average grant date fair value of $2.01 per share determined based upon a Black-Scholes option valuation model. In addition to the above employee stock option grants, we granted 60,000 stock options to members of our Board of Directors during the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, which became fully vested upon issuance. These options have a weighted average exercise price equal to $3.57 per share, have a weighted average remaining contractual term of 8.9 years and a weighted average grant date fair value of $1.98 per share based upon a Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The fair value of stock options on the date of grant and the weighted average assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the stock options granted during the respective periods using the Black-Scholes option valuation model were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Six Months Ended September 30,

No options were exercised during the six months ended September 30, 2013. As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $3,226 of unrecognized compensation costs related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under our plans and that cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 2.4 years.

The following is a summary of the changes in non-vested stock options for the six months ended September 30, 2013:

	Shares			Average Grant Date Fair Value
Outstanding at April 1, 2013		540,063		$	4.09

Grants of restricted stock are common stock awards granted to recipients with specified vesting provisions. The restricted stock issued vests based upon the recipients continued service over time (five-year vesting period). We estimate the fair value of restricted stock based on our closing stock price on the date of grant.

The following is a summary of restricted stock activity in our 1994 Stock Incentive Plan for the six months ended September 30, 2013:

Expected to vest as of September 30, 2013		3,345		$	12.58

Note 9. Income Taxes

Our provision for income taxes consists of federal, state and local taxes in amounts necessary to align our year-to-date provision for income taxes with the effective tax rate that we expect to achieve for the full year. Our annual effective tax rate for Fiscal 2014, excluding discrete items, is estimated to be 36.3% based upon our anticipated earnings.

For the six months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a provision for income taxes of $809, which consisted of federal, state and local taxes, including discrete items of $20 related to the accrual of interest for uncertain tax positions under ASC 740 – Income Taxes. For the six months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded a tax benefit of $45.

The effective tax rate, including the discrete item, for the six months ended September 30, 2013 was a provision for income taxes of 37.0% compared to a benefit for income taxes of 38.5% in the comparable prior period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended September 30, 2013 is different than the statutory rate primarily due to the tax effect of non-deductible expenses, the Section 199 manufacturing deduction and state and local taxes.

Note 10. Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding without consideration of potential common shares. Diluted earnings (loss) per share are based on the weighted average number of common and potential common shares outstanding. The calculation takes into account the shares that may be issued upon exercise of stock options, reduced by the shares that may be repurchased with the funds received from the exercise, based on the average prices during the periods. Excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per share are options to purchase 1,452,201 shares and 1,382,619 shares for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 1,435,644 shares and 1,378,008 shares for the three and six months ended September 30, 2012, as their inclusion would not have been dilutive.

The following is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per share computations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Six Months Ended September 30,

Total accrued expenses	$	21,197	$	25,106

Note 12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

ASC 820 – Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methodologies into three levels:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Due to their maturities and/or variable interest rates, certain financial instruments have fair values that approximate their carrying values. These instruments include cash, accounts receivable, trade payables and our outstanding debt under our term loan and revolving credit facility. The book value and the fair value of our capital lease obligation were $13,564 and $17,580, respectively as of September 30, 2013. The fair value was determined based on our current incremental borrowing rate and is considered a Level 3 input.

Note 13. Business Concentrations and Major Customers

We manufacture and distribute disposable medical products principally to medical product distributors and hospitals located throughout the United States. We perform credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and do not require collateral. Receivables are generally due within 30 – 90 days. Credit losses relating to customers have historically been minimal and within management’s expectations.

Sales to Owens & Minor, Inc. and Cardinal Health Inc., (the “Distributors”) accounted for approximately 40% and 21% of net sales, respectively for six months ended September 30, 2013. Although the Distributors may be deemed in a technical sense to be major purchasers of our products, they typically serve as a distributor between the end user and ourselves and do not make significant purchases for their own account. We, therefore, do not believe it is appropriate to categorize the Distributors as customers for the purpose of evaluating concentrations.

A significant portion of our raw materials are purchased from China, which gives rise to risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the Chinese Yuan and the U.S. Dollar. To mitigate our exposure to this risk, we attempt to denominate our transactions in foreign locations in U.S. Dollars. While all of such purchases are denominated in U.S. Dollars, to the extent that the U.S. Dollar decreases in value relative to the Chinese Yuan, our cost of sales may increase and our gross profit may decrease. We do not currently hold or issue foreign exchange contracts or other derivative instruments to hedge these exposures.

Note 14. Other Matters

We are a party to a lawsuit arising out of the conduct of our ordinary course of business. It is covered by insurance and while the result of such lawsuit cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect that the ultimate liability, if any, will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Our Tennessee facility, which is comprised of approximately 25 acres in a light industrial park located in Gallaway, Tennessee, was acquired by Medegen Medical Products, LLC (“Medegen”) in 1999 prior to our ownership of Medegen. In connection with an environmental due diligence evaluation of the facility prior to its acquisition by Medegen, consultants detected the presence of chlorinated solvents in groundwater beneath the manufacturing plant. The identified groundwater contamination is in the process of being remediated. At the time of our acquisition of Medegen, the prior owner of the facility agreed to retain responsibility for the remediation of the contamination and to fully indemnify us for all costs associated with the environmental remediation as well as any claims that might arise, including third party claims. Under an agreement executed at the time of the sale, Vollrath Co. and its parent Windway Capital Corp. (collectively, “Indemnitor”) are required, on a quarterly basis, to provide documentation from independent parties confirming that the Indemnitor has sufficient assets, in the form of unencumbered, unrestricted cash, marketable securities or unused and available borrowing capacity, as necessary to pay the most recently estimated costs of outstanding environmental remediation obligations. Now that full-scale remediation is underway at the site, the Indemnitor is also required to provide Letters of Credit (“LC”) to secure its current and future obligations, including a $2,000 LC that is currently open and future LCs in the amount of $1,000 from December 7, 2014 through December 7, 2017. No assurance can be given that the Indemnitor will have the financial resources necessary to complete the environmental remediation and/or defend any claims that may arise, that recommended cleanup levels will be achieved over the long term, or that further remedial activities will not be required. As of September 30, 2013, we have recorded an estimated liability of $4,200 to remediate the groundwater contamination and a corresponding amount due from the Indemnitor.

Overview

We manufacture and market single-use medical products used principally by acute care facilities within the United States. Our product lines are divided into two markets, Clinical Care and Patient Care. Our Clinical Care market includes custom procedure trays, minor procedure kits and trays, operating room disposables and sterilization products. Our Patient Care market includes patient bedside products, containment systems for medical waste and laboratory products.

Our market approach encompasses ongoing strategic relationships with group purchasing organizations (“GPOs”), integrated delivery networks (“IDNs”), acute care facilities, surgery centers, clinical decision makers and procurement managers within acute care facilities, national and regional distributors and other end users of our products. Our internal structure supports a market presence which encompasses: i) a marketing team comprised of product line managers for each of our key product categories, ii) an Executive Health Services team, that directly maintains our relationship with GPOs and IDNs, iii) regional managers who supervise both Clinical Care and Patient Care sales representatives and maintain relationships with larger acute care facilities and iv) sales representatives which maintain a direct presence with the end users of our products and manage compliance levels on GPO and IDN contracts. While we view the end users of our products as the critical decision point driving our market penetration, approximately 61% of our products are sold through two large national distributors.

We have pricing agreements with substantially every major GPO and IDN in the country including Novation, LLC (“Novation”), Premier Purchasing Partners, L.P. (“Premier”) and MedAssets Supply Chain Systems, LLC (“MedAssets”). The pricing agreements with GPOs and IDNs set forth the major terms and conditions, including pricing, by which their members may purchase our products, and typically have no minimum purchase requirements with terms of one to three years that can be terminated pursuant to certain notification requirements. A majority of our acute care facility customers are members of at least one GPO. The pricing agreements we have been awarded through these GPOs designate us as a sole-source, dual-source or multi-source provider for substantially all of our product offerings. While the acute care facilities associated with the GPOs and IDNs are not obligated to purchase our product offerings, many of these pricing agreements have resulted in unit sales growth for us. Acute care facility orders purchased through our pricing agreements with the three largest GPOs in the healthcare industry, Novation, Premier and MedAssets, accounted in aggregate for $114,820 or 53% of our total net sales for the six months ended September 30, 2013.

We source our products from our four production facilities in the United States and from foreign suppliers, principally based in China. Our domestic production facilities and foreign suppliers have sufficient capacity to meet current product demand.

We conduct injection molding production and blown film production in our Gallaway, Tennessee and Clarksburg, West Virginia facilities, respectively. We conduct minor procedure kit and tray assembly operations and custom procedure tray assembly operations in our Arden, North Carolina and Toano, Virginia facilities, respectively. The principal raw materials used in the production of our product lines include resin and cotton. Our production facilities consume over 50 million pounds of resin, namely polypropylene and polyethylene, per annum. Cotton is purchased by our foreign suppliers and converted into finished products, principally operating room towels and laparotomy sponges. We purchase finished goods that contain over 10 million pounds of cotton per annum.

Hospital utilization, economic pressure on acute care facilities and volatility in commodity prices continue to impact our revenues, average selling prices and gross profit. We have addressed these conditions by evaluating our product lines, investing in our sales and marketing teams, reducing our operating costs and differentiating ourselves in the market by emphasizing our ability to add value to our customers by improving their patient outcomes. Additionally, we have made concerted efforts to evaluate our profitability within product lines and in certain markets which may result in temporary reduction in revenues in favor of increased profit margins. We remain committed to being a trusted strategic partner to our customers known for delivering innovative solutions to the healthcare community to improve the quality of care and enhancing patient experiences.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we reported revenues of $108,263 and $112,100, respectively. Our net income and earnings per diluted share during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $1,098 or $0.07 per diluted share, and $65 or $0.00 per diluted share, respectively.

During the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we reported revenues of $215,504 and $224,337, respectively. Our net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per diluted share during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $1,377 or $0.08 per diluted share, and ($72) or ($0.00) per diluted share, respectively. Net income during the six months ended September 30, 2013, was partially offset by $417 in interest expense, net of applicable taxes, related to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of all amounts owed under the Prior Credit Agreement.

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012:

The following table sets forth net sales by market for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

							Increase (decrease) due to
	September 30, 2013			September 30, 2012			Price/Mix		Volume/Mix
Clinical Care Market	$	70,819		$	72,273		$	1,559	$	(3,013	)
Patient Care Market		40,134			42,752			44		(2,662	)
Sales Related Adjustments		(2,690	)		(2,925	)		153		82
Total Net Sales	$	108,263		$	112,100		$	1,756	$	(5,593	)

The decrease in our clinical care market was primarily attributable to lower domestic market share associated with our custom procedure trays and operating room product categories. This decrease was partially offset by greater domestic market penetration in our minor procedure kits and trays products and an increase in price/mix associated with our custom procedure trays.

The decline in our patient care market was primarily attributable to lower domestic market share associated with our laboratory, containment systems for medical waste and patient bedside plastics product categories. A significant portion of the reduction in domestic market share was the result of our strategic decision to discard certain business that conflicted with our profitability improvement initiatives.

Gross profit was $18,606 and $17,470 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross profits as a percentage of net sales was 17.2% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 15.6% during the three months ended September 30, 2012. The improvement in gross profit was attributable to a decline in the cost of raw materials and products sourced from overseas vendors and a change in the mix of products sold.

Resin-related product lines which include containment systems for medical waste, patient bedside plastics and laboratory represent approximately 34% of our revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The primary raw material utilized in the manufacture of these products is plastic resin. We continue to experience volatility in resin costs consistent with the changes in global market prices of oil, natural gas and other factors. Our gross profit during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was negatively impacted by $70 due to higher resin prices.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we imported approximately $12,520 of finished goods and certain raw materials from overseas vendors, principally those in China. Our main imports are operating room products, which include operating room towels and laparotomy sponges and surgical instruments used in our minor procedure kits and trays and certain containment products and patient bedside disposable products that we do not produce domestically. The products we import from China include cotton and plastic resin as raw materials.

While we do not directly purchase unfinished cotton, it is the primary raw material utilized by our overseas vendors in the production of our operating room towels and laparotomy sponges. Our gross profit during the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012 was favorably impacted by $1,589 due to lower costs of products sourced from overseas vendors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $15,956 and $16,166 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to a $287 reduction in professional services and a $68 reduction in sales commissions, which were partially offset by an increase of $145 in all other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Distribution expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, amounted to $2,047 and $2,078 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in labor-related costs, principally overtime expenses.

Interest expense amounted to $917 and $1,198 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was due to lower outstanding principal loan balances.

Income tax expense amounted to $635 and $41 during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Income tax expense as a percent of income before income taxes was 36.6% and 38.7% during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 COMPARED TO SIX MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012:

The following table sets forth net sales by market for the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012:

							Increase (decrease) due to
	September 30, 2013			September 30, 2012			Price/Mix			Volume/Mix
Clinical Care Market	$	142,006		$	142,236		$	1,623		$	(1,853	)
Patient Care Market		78,979			88,254			(737	)		(8,538	)
Sales Related Adjustments		(5,481	)		(6,153	)		926			(254	)
Total Net Sales	$	215,504		$	224,337		$	1,812		$	(10,645	)

The decrease in our clinical care market was primarily attributable to lower domestic market share associated with our operating room products category. This decrease was partially offset by greater domestic market penetration in our minor procedure kits and trays products and an increase in price/mix associated with our custom procedure trays.

The decline in our patient care market was primarily attributable to lower domestic market share associated with our containment systems for medical waste, patient bedside plastics, laboratory and protective apparel product categories. A significant portion of the reduction in domestic market share was the result of our strategic decision to discard certain business that conflicted with our profitability improvement initiatives.

Gross profit was $36,327 and $34,415 during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Gross profits as a percentage of net sales was 16.9% during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 15.3% during the six months ended September 30, 2012. The improvement in gross profit was attributable to a decline in the cost of raw materials and products sourced from overseas vendors and a change in the mix of products sold.

Resin-related product lines which include containment systems for medical waste, patient bedside plastics and laboratory represent approximately 34% of our revenues for the six months ended September 30, 2013. The primary raw material utilized in the manufacture of these products is plastic resin. We continue to experience volatility in resin costs consistent with the changes in global market prices of oil, natural gas and other factors. Our gross profit during the six months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2012 was favorably impacted by $139 due to lower resin prices.

During the six months ended September 30, 2013, we imported approximately $24,445 of finished goods and certain raw materials from overseas vendors, principally those in China. Our main imports are operating room products, which include operating room towels and laparotomy sponges and surgical instruments used in our minor procedure kits and trays and certain containment products and patient bedside disposable products that we do not produce domestically. The products we import from China include cotton and plastic resin as raw materials.

While we do not directly purchase unfinished cotton, it is the primary raw material utilized by our overseas vendors in the production of our operating room towels and laparotomy sponges. Our gross profit during the six months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the six months ended September 30, 2012 was favorably impacted by $2,347 due to lower costs of products sourced from overseas vendors.

Selling, general and administrative expenses amounted to $31,568 and $32,110 during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease is primarily related to a $431 reduction in professional services and a $224 reduction in sales commissions, which were partially offset by an increase of $113 in all other selling, general and administrative expenses.

Distribution expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, amounted to $4,123 and $4,219 during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in labor-related costs, principally overtime expenses.

Interest expense amounted to $2,573 and $2,422 during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in interest expense of $151 was due to the write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the Prior Credit Agreement, partially offset by lower outstanding principal loan balances.

Income tax expense (benefit) amounted to $809 and ($45) during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Income tax expense (benefit) as a percent of income (loss) before income taxes was 37.0% and 38.5% during the six months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Borrowing Arrangements

On May 17, 2013, we entered into our New Credit Agreement. A portion of the proceeds of our New Credit Agreement was used to repay and cancel all amounts due under the Prior Credit Agreement. Upon such repayment, the Prior Credit Agreement was terminated. The New Credit Agreement provides for a maximum borrowing capacity of $65,000, consisting of the following loans; (1) a $11,505 secured term loan fully drawn by us on May 17, 2013, (2) $5,000 in secured Delayed Draw Term Loans and (3) up to $53,495 in secured revolving loans, which may be reduced by the amount of any outstanding Delayed Draw Term Loans drawn by us. The revolving loans are used to finance the working capital needs and general corporate purposes of ourselves and our subsidiaries and for permitted acquisitions. If our Excess Availability (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) falls below a specified amount, we will be required to comply with specified financial covenants relating to; (1) after financial statements are delivered for the month ending July 31, 2013, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00, measured on a month-end basis and (2) until financial statements are delivered for the month ending July 31, 2013, minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for certain month-end periods (such financial covenant, the “EBITDA Covenant”), including negative $800 for the one month period ending April 30, 2013, $700 for the two month period ending May 31, 2013 and $3,000 for the three month period ending June 30, 2013. If we draw a Delayed Draw Term Loan, we will be required to comply with a maximum leverage ratio covenant ranging from 3.00 to 1.00 to 3.25 to 1.00, measured on a month-end basis. In addition, we had committed to certain post-closing conditions, including providing monthly financial statements, annual updates of financial projections and the filing of a mortgage on our Brentwood, New York corporate headquarters (which took place on July 16, 2013).

As of September 30, 2013, our Excess Availability under the New Credit Agreement was approximately $18,008. As of September 30, 2013, we had not drawn a Delayed Draw Term Loan and we (1) were not subject to any financial covenants under the New Credit Agreement and (2) were in compliance with all applicable covenants under the New Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the New Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of our assets and are fully guaranteed by us and our subsidiaries. The New Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including, among others, covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, guarantee obligations, sell assets, make loans and investments, enter into merger and acquisition transactions and declare or make dividends. Please see Note 7 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding the New Credit Agreement.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents changed as follows during the six months ended September 30:

	2013			2012
Cash provided by operating activities	$	11,852		$	12,397
Cash used in investing activities	$	(455	)	$	(925	)
Cash used in financing activities	$	(11,615	)	$	(16,312	)
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(218	)	$	(4,840	)

Historically, our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources have included cash provided by operations and the use of available borrowing facilities while the primary uses of liquidity and capital resources have included acquisitions, capital expenditures and payments on debt.

Cash provided by operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2013, was primarily comprised of net income from operations of $1,377, amortization of $2,461, depreciation of $2,428, increases in accounts payable of $5,370 and accrued expenses and other liabilities of $1,450 and a decrease in accounts receivable of $1,875. These were partially offset by an increase in other assets of $4,323.

Approximately $662 of the total amortization was attributable to a non-recurring write-off of deferred financing costs associated with the repayment of amounts owed under our Prior Credit Agreement. The increase in other assets is primarily due to the recording of $4,200 of an indemnification from Vollrath Co. and its parent Windway Capital Corp., relating to the remediation of groundwater contamination at our Tennessee facility. In addition, we have recorded a corresponding liability as an other long-term liability. The recording of the other asset and other long-term liability had no net impact on our cash flows.

Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of $622 in purchases of property, plant and equipment, which was partially offset by $167 in proceeds from the sale of equipment. The majority of these capital expenditures related to machinery and equipment for our injection molding facility located in Gallaway, Tennessee. Our New Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants but do not limit the amount of capital expenditures per annum. On an annual basis, management expects to make capital expenditures on machinery and equipment to improve efficiencies at our manufacturing facilities.

Cash used in financing activities during the six months ended September 30, 2013 consisted primarily of $10,391 in net payments on our Credit Agreement and $1,137 in deferred financing costs. During the six months ended September 30, 2013, borrowings under our revolving credit facility decreased $9,843 and borrowings under our term loan decreased $548.

Financial Position

The following table sets forth certain liquidity and capital resources data for the periods indicated:

	September 30, 2013		March 31, 2013
	(Unaudited)

Cash and cash equivalents	$	340	$	558
Accounts receivable, net	$	30,170	$	32,615
Days sales outstanding		27.9		27.0
Inventories, net	$	51,918	$	53,014
Inventory turnover		6.8		6.3
Current assets	$	88,372	$	92,338
Goodwill	$	30,021	$	30,021
Working capital	$	46,437	$	52,163
Current ratio		2.1		2.3
Total borrowings	$	55,873	$	66,351
Stockholders' equity	$	96,889	$	94,909
Debt to equity ratio		0.58		0.70

We are committed to maintaining a strong financial position through maintaining sufficient levels of available liquidity, managing working capital and generating cash flows necessary to meet operating requirements. We believe that anticipated future cash flow from operations, coupled with our cash on hand and available funds under our New Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet working capital requirements for the next twelve months. Although we have borrowing capacity under our New Credit Agreement, have cash on hand and anticipate future cash flow from operations, we may be limited in our ability to allocate funds for purposes such as potential acquisitions, capital expenditures, marketing, development and other general corporate purposes. In addition, we may be limited in our flexibility in planning for or responding to changing conditions in our business and our industry, making us more vulnerable to general economic downturns and adverse developments in our business.

Contractual Obligations

Certain contractual cash obligations and other commercial commitments will impact our short and long-term liquidity. At September 30, 2013, such obligations and commitments are as follows:

	Total		Less than 1 Year		2 – 3 Years		4 - 5 Years		After 5 Years
Principal payments of long-term debt	$	42,309	$	1,644	$	3,288	$	37,377	$	-
Capital lease obligations		27,541		1,533		3,159		3,287		19,562
Purchase obligations		24,975		24,975		-		-		-
Operating leases		1,836		893		927		16		-
Defined benefit plan payments		759		58		129		143		429

Total contractual obligations	$	97,420	$	29,103	$	7,503	$	40,823	$	19,991

There are approximately $616 of estimated liabilities related to unrecognized tax benefits that have been excluded from the contractual obligation table because we could not make a reasonable estimate of when those amounts would become payable.

Related Party Transactions

As part of the assets and liabilities acquired from the AVID acquisition, we assumed a capital lease obligation for the AVID facility located in Toano, Virginia. The facility, which includes a 185,000 square foot manufacturing and warehouse building and approximately 12 acres of land, is owned by Micpar Realty, LLC (“Micpar”). AVID’s founder and former CEO, is a part owner of Micpar and subsequent to the acquisition of AVID, he was elected to our board of directors. As of August 2012, he no longer serves on our board of directors. As of September 30, 2013, the capital lease requires monthly payments of $127 with increases of 2% per annum. The lease contains provisions for an option to buy in January 2014 and January of 2016 and expires in March 2029. The effective rate on the capital lease obligation is 9.9%. Total lease payments required under the capital lease for the five-year period ending September 30, 2018 is $7,941. During the six months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded interest expense of $671 under the lease agreement.

The gross amount and net book value of the assets under the capital lease are as follows:

	September 30, 2013			March 31, 2013
Capital lease, gross	$	11,409		$	11,409
Less: Accumulated amortization		(1,893	)		(1,586	)
Capital lease, net	$	9,516		$	9,823

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not maintain any off-balance sheet arrangements, transactions, obligations or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that would be expected to have a material current or future effect upon our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risks, such as changes in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity pricing risks. The following quantitative and qualitative information is provided about market risks to which we were exposed at September 30, 2013, and from which we may incur future gains or losses. We have not entered, nor do we intend to enter, into derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Hypothetical changes in interest rates chosen for the estimated sensitivity analysis below are considered to be reasonable near-term changes generally based on consideration of past fluctuations for this risk category. However, since it is not possible to accurately predict future changes in interest rates, these hypothetical changes may not necessarily be an indicator of probable future fluctuations.

Foreign Currency Risk

We currently do not sell a significant portion of our products outside of the U.S., and as such, we do not hedge against foreign currency fluctuations that may impact our sales in foreign countries. If we change our intent with respect to such international investment, we would expect to implement strategies designed to manage those risks in an effort to mitigate the effect of foreign currency fluctuations on our earnings and cash flows.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2013, there was approximately $42,309 in aggregate outstanding borrowings under our New Credit Agreement. Term loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our election, (1) LIBOR Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 2.50% to 3.00%, depending on the Average Excess Availability (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate (as defined in the New Credit Agreement) plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.00%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation. Revolving loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our election, (1) LIBOR Rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.50%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation. If drawn, Delayed Draw Term Loans outstanding under the New Credit Agreement will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our election, (1) LIBOR Rate plus a margin ranging from 4.25% to 4.75%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation, or (2) Base Rate plus a margin ranging from 3.25% to 3.75%, depending on the Average Excess Availability at the time of calculation. Assuming the outstanding balance remained unchanged, a 1% change in the LIBOR Rate as of September 30, 2013 would result in an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $423 and a 1% change in the Base Rate as of September 30, 2013 would result in an increase in annual interest expense of approximately $423.

We have not entered into interest rate hedging arrangements in the past and have no plans to do so. Due to fluctuating balances in the amount outstanding under our New Credit Agreement, we do not believe such arrangements to be cost effective.

Commodity Price Risk

Our exposure to changing commodity prices is somewhat limited since the majority of our raw materials are acquired at posted or market related prices, and sales prices for many of our finished products are at market related prices which are generally in line with industry practice. Although we have not hedged our commodity exposures in the past, we may do so in the future.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, we conducted an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based upon that evaluation, our management concluded that, as of September 30, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in which we did not have a control in place to periodically assess the appropriateness of the amounts we had estimated and accrued for as amounts payable under our agreements with distributors for distributor-related fees. We did not conduct a periodic comparison of our estimates to actual amounts paid, or expected to be paid, under the terms of our distributor agreements.

To remediate the material weakness described above, we designed and implemented procedures and controls in the quarter ended June 30, 2013 to ensure that our accrual is based on the terms of each distributor agreement and our estimates of amounts that will be payable under such agreements. During the quarter ended September 30, 2013 we performed the testing necessary to determine that the material weakness has been remediated.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013, except as otherwise discussed above, we have not made any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

We continue to review, document and test our internal control over financial reporting and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business. These efforts may lead to various changes in our internal control over financial reporting.
