TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

MISONIX, INC. ("Misonix" or the "Company") is a New York corporation which, through its predecessors, was first organized in 1959. The Company designs, manufactures, develops and markets minimally invasive ultrasonic surgical device products. These products include the BoneScalpel™ cutting system ("BoneScalpel") which is used among other things for surgical procedures of the spine and on Maxillofacial procedures, the SonaStar ® Surgical Aspirator ("SonaStar") which is used to emulsify and remove soft and hard tumors, the SonicOne ® Wound Cleansing and Debridement System ("SonicOne") which offers tissue specific debridement and cleansing of wounds for effective removal of devitalized tissue and fibrin deposits while sparing viable cells and the AutoSonix® ultrasound cutting and coagulating system ("AutoSonix") which is distributed and marketed for Misonix through Mentor Corporation, a subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson ("Mentor").

The Company continues to develop its portfolio of therapeutic ultrasonic devices aimed at expanding the base of clinical users. Current applications include the ability to transect or shape bone, ablate and aspirate both soft and hard tissue, cleanse and debride advanced wounds and remove unwanted body fat. Among clinical specialties served are: Spine Surgery, Skull-Based Surgery (i.e., Cranio-Maxillo-Facial, Neurosurgery, Orthopedic Surgery and Plastic surgery).

In the United States, a nationwide ‘hybrid' sales organization, which includes contracted, commissioned, independent sales representatives, managed by Company personnel and supported by Company applications specialists, markets our neuro/spine/skull-based products to our surgical customers. Products in this category are our SonaStar and Bone Scalpel Systems.

In the United States, a second nationwide ‘hybrid' sales organization, which includes contracted, commissioned, independent sales representatives managed by Company personnel and supported by Company specialists, markets our wound care product portfolio to our acute, in patient customer base. Products in this category are SonicOne and SonicOne O.R.

Outside the United States, our BoneScalpel, SonaStar and SonicOne product platforms are marketed by specialty distributors who purchase products from the Company and resell products to their clinical customer bases. Representation is worldwide with a strong presence in all major markets in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Oceania.

The BoneScalpel is a unique, state of the art, ultrasonic bone cutting system capable of making precise cuts with minimal necrosis, minimal burn artifact, minimal inflammation and minimal bone loss. The device is also capable of preserving surrounding soft tissue structures. This device can make precise linear or curved cuts, on any plane, with precision not normally associated with power instrumentation. The BoneScalpel offers the speed and convenience of a power instrument without the dangers associated with conventional rotary devices. The effect on surrounding soft tissue is minimal due to the elastic and flexible structure of healthy tissue. This is a significant advantage in anatomical regions like the spine where patient safety is of primary concern, In addition, the linear motion of the blunt, tissue-impacting tips avoid accidental ‘trapping' of soft tissue while largely eliminating the high speed spinning and tearing associated with rotary power instruments. The BoneScalpel allows surgeons to improve on existing surgical techniques by creating new approaches to osteotomies and bone removal, leading to substantial time savings and increased operation efficiencies.

Following its original market introduction in Europe almost four years ago, the BoneScalpel has attracted a steadily growing following in the surgical community, which led to significant sales growth in fiscal year 2013. The expandable BoneScalpel product platform creates entry into dynamic market segments like spine surgery and selected skull-based surgeries; i.e. maxilla-facial/reconstructive procedures. In the future additional market niche opportunities may exist in small bone surgery of the hand, foot or ankle, and additional skull-based procedures, i.e. ENT surgery.

The SonaStar System provides powerful precise aspiration following the ultrasonic ablation of hard or soft tissue. The SonaStar has been used for a wide variety of surgical procedures using both open and minimally invasive approaches, including neurosurgery, liver surgery, and gynecological surgery. An additional option for the SonaStar is the use of OsteoSculpt® probe tips, which allows for the precise shaping, or shaving of bony structures that prevent open access to partially or completely hidden soft tissue masses.

The SonicOne Ultrasonic Cleansing and Debridement System is a highly innovative, tissue specific approach for the effective removal of devitalized or necrotic tissue and fibrin deposits while sparing viable, surrounding cellular structures. The tissue specific capability is, in part, due to the fact that healthy and viable tissue structures have a higher elasticity and flexibility than necrotic tissue and are more resistant to destruction from the impact effects of ultrasound. The ultrasonic debridement process separates devitalized tissue from viable tissue layers, allowing for a more defined treatment and, usually, a reduced pain sensation. SonicOne establishes a new standard in wound bed preparation, which is the essential first step in the healing process, while speeding the progression toward full patient healing.

The Company continues to manufacture the LySonix ® Ultrasonic Liposuction System. In ultrasonic liposuction, tissue is emulsified via a process known as ‘cavitation' that liquefies the fat, which then is aspirated or suctioned from the body. This product is marketed and distributed worldwide on a non-exclusive basis through the Mentor division of Johnson & Johnson. The cosmetic surgery market continues to grow, although at a slower rate during difficult economic times; therefore, moderate growth for this product offering is anticipated in the near future.

The Company is in the second half of a long term agreement with Covidien plc ("Covidien") that grants worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights for the AutoSonix Ultrasonic Cutting and Coagulating System, which is used for a variety of laparoscopic surgical procedures. This important partnership demonstrates the versatility and scope of the Company's therapeutic ultrasonic technology.

Discontinued Operations

Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products Business

On October 19, 2011, Misonix sold its Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business, which comprised substantially all of the Laboratory and Scientific Products segment, to Mystaire, Inc. ("Mystaire") for $1.5 million in cash plus a potential additional payment of up to an aggregate $500,000 based upon 30% of net sales in excess of $2.0 million for each of the three years following the closing (the "earn-out"). The Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business manufactured and marketed ductless fume, laminar airflow and polymerase chain reaction workstations both domestically and internationally with revenues for fiscal 2011 of approximately $2.1 million.

In accordance with the Asset Purchase Agreement with Mystaire, Misonix retained, among other items, the existing accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable and accrued expenses of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business. After considering the proceeds received of $1,500,000 in cash, professional fees of $25,000 in connection with the sale and the net book value of the assets sold of $24,000, which was comprised primarily of property and equipment, Misonix reported a gain on sale of $1,451,000 and recorded income taxes of $242,000 on the gain during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. The earn-out will not be factored into the gain on sale until it is earned by Misonix. As of June 30, 2013 no earn-out has been recorded.

Labcaire Systems

On August 4, 2009, the Company sold its Labcaire Systems, Ltd. ("Labcaire") subsidiary to PuriCore International Limited ("PuriCore Limited") for a total purchase price of up to $5.6 million. The Company received $3.6 million at closing and a promissory note in the principal amount of $1 million. The Company was also to receive a commission paid on sales for the period commencing on the date of closing and ending on December 31, 2013 of 8% of the pass through Automated Endoscope Reprocessing ("AER") and Drying Cabinet products, and 5% of license fees from any chemical licenses marketed by Labcaire directly associated with sale of AERs, specifically for the disinfection of the endoscope. The aggregate commission payable to the Company was also to be subject to a maximum payment of $1,000,000.

In January 2011, PuriCore Limited initiated a lawsuit against the Company in the High Court of Justice, Queens Bench Division, Commercial Court, Royal Courts of Justice, London, England (Claim No. 2011-42) (the "Lawsuit"). In the Lawsuit, PuriCore Limited claimed damages from the Company in respect of breach of warranties contained in the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated August 4, 2009 (the "SPA"), pursuant to which the Company sold Labcaire to PuriCore Limited. PuriCore Limited claimed damages of £2,167,000 or approximately $3,600,000, plus interest and its legal costs. The Company denied the allegations contained in the Lawsuit.

On July 19, 2011, PuriCore Limited and the Company reached an agreement to settle the Lawsuit (the "Settlement"). The Settlement provides that the Company (i) forgive in full PuriCore Limited and PuriCore plc's obligation under the SPA to pay up to $1,000,000 of the previously unrecorded, contingent commissions (as described above), (ii) pay PuriCore, Inc. ("PuriCore"), an affiliate of PuriCore Limited, $650,000 towards PuriCore Limited's legal costs which had been accrued for as of June 30, 2011 and subsequently paid and (iii) enter into a Product License and Distribution Agreement, dated as of July 19, 2011, with Puricore (the "Distribution Agreement"). See "- Medical Devices."

High Intensity Focused Ultrasound Technology

In consideration for the May 2010 sale of its rights to the high intensity focused ultrasound technology to USHIFU LLC ("USHIFU"), Misonix will receive up to approximately $5.8 million, paid out of an earn-out of 7% of gross revenues received by USHIFU related to the business being sold up to the time the Company has received the first $3 million and thereafter 5% of the gross revenues up to the $5.8 million. Commencing 90 days after each December 31 st and beginning December 31, 2011 the payments will be the greater of (a) $250,000 or (b) 7% of gross revenues received up to the time the Company has received the first $3 million and thereafter 5% of gross revenues up to the $5.8 million. Total payments through June 30, 2013 were $504,788. Payments received during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 totaled $250,000 and $254,788, respectively.

Medical Devices

On June 1, 2011, Misonix entered into a five-year exclusive U.S. distribution agreement with Anika Therapeutics S.r.l. ("Anika"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: ANIK), a leader in products for tissue protection, healing and repair. Misonix will sell and distribute Anika's Hyalomatrix® product, a skin substitute based on hyaluronic acid technology. Hyalomatrix is indicated for treatment of a wide range of acute and chronic wounds and will be a companion product for the SonicOne.

During fiscal 2013 Misonix terminated the Anika agreement and has reserved a majority of the inventory it has on hand in the amount of approximately $532,000 due to the product approaching its expiration date. The Company is in the process of negotiating a final settlement.

Pursuant to the Distribution Agreement with Puriciore, the Company has been granted the right to distribute PuriCore's Vashe ® solution products in the United States, on a private label basis and called the Misonix Soma product, as an antibacterial, antimicrobial irrigating solution for the treatment of human wound care in conjunction with therapeutic ultrasonic procedures (the "Field"). PuriCore has agreed, subject to modification, not to sell the products that are the subject of the Distribution Agreement (the "Licensed Products") to any other therapeutic ultrasound company for distribution in the Field in the United States ("Exclusivity"). The Company has agreed not to sell or distribute in the United States in the Field any irrigating solution that has anti-microbial properties other than the Licensed Products so long as the Company has Exclusivity.

The Distribution Agreement is for a three (3) year term with automatic renewals for successive two (2) year periods; provided that the Company and PuriCore have agreed upon sales volume targets for each renewal period (such volume targets not to increase by more than ten (10%) percent year over year unless otherwise agreed) and provided that the cost terms shall be no less favorable than the twelve (12) months leading up to the start of such renewal period. In no event will the Distribution Agreement survive beyond the expiration or invalidation of all of PuriCore's patents.

During the initial three year term of the Distribution Agreement, the Company is obligated to either purchase or pay a minimum of $2,000,000 in gross margin value to PuriCore for the Licensed Products (the "Minimum Payment"). The Minimum Payment is subject to downward adjustment and elimination in the event that (i) PuriCore chooses to eliminate Exclusivity, (ii) the Company's right to manufacture the Licensed Products under certain conditions has been triggered but the Company is unable to manufacture the Licensed Products or to have the Licensed Products manufactured for it by third parties or (iii) the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has made a final determination that prohibits the sale of the Licensed Products for use in the Field. During our fiscal fourth quarter 2013 the Company attempted to terminate its contract with PuriCore due to management's belief that the products subject to the Distribution Agreement are non-conforming. Puricore has disputed the Company's ability to terminate the Distribution Agreement. The parties have initiated discussions regarding the financial impact of the termination of the Distribution Agreement. As of September 21, 2013, based on present discussions, we believe the dispute will be settled on the basis of mutual releases without the payment of monies on either side. The Company has reserved the entire inventory on hand of $302,596. The Company has accrued the contractual quarterly amount for the minimum gross profit in the fiscal fourth quarter 2013 in the amount of $188,125 bringing the total minimum gross profit accrual to $439,508. This accrual will be reversed upon the parties signing the releases.

In October 1996, the Company entered into a twenty-year license agreement (the "Covidien License") with Covidien Ltd. The Covidien License covers the further development of the Company's medical technology relating to ultrasonic cutting, which uses high frequency sound waves to coagulate and divide tissue for both open and laparoscopic surgery. The Covidien License gives Covidien exclusive worldwide marketing and sales rights for this technology and device. Total sales of this device were approximately $110,437 and $1,484,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Total royalties from sales of this device were approximately $2,369,000 and $488,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. 

The Company is currently negotiating a new distribution agreement with Mentor for the sale, marketing and distribution of the Lysonix soft tissue aspirator used for cosmetic surgery. Total sales of this device were approximately $381,744 and $1,492,000 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The Company's revenues are generated from various regions throughout the world. Sales by the Company outside the United States are made through distributors. Sales made in the United States are made primarily through representative agents. The following is an analysis of net sales from continuing operations by geographic region:

On December 12, 2012, the Company announced the termination of its distribution agreement with Aesculap, Inc. ("Aesculap") for the BoneScalpel as of January 1, 2013. Since January 2011, Aesculap has been a non-exclusive, private label distributor of the BoneScalpel, in the United States, for clinical applications in spine surgery and cranial surgery. Under the non-exclusive distribution agreement, Aesculap retains the right to sell BoneScalpel disposables to certain, limited hospital accounts, post termination, which are covered by binding supply agreements for varying periods of time not to exceed 3 years.  Termination required Misonix to purchase all hardware inventories in Aesculap's possession, which has been recorded as either fixed assets or inventory.

Market and Customers

There is no concentration with any one customer in sales. Total royalties from Covidien related to their sales of the Company's ultrasonic cutting products, which uses high frequency sound waves to coagulate and divide tissue for both open and laparoscopic surgery, were $2,369,000 and $488,000 during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivables from Covidien were approximately $718,000 and $696,000, which includes $711,000 and $586,000 of royalty income receivable at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accounts receivables from Aesculap were approximately $324,000 and $532,000 at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company's accounts receivables with customers outside the United States were approximately $1,086,000 and $700,000, respectively. The Company sells the BoneScalpel, SonaStar and SonicOne Wound Cleansing and Debridement System through direct sales persons and sales agents in the United States and through distributors outside the United States.

The Company sells its SonicOne Wound Cleansing and Debridement System, through direct sales persons and sales agents or distributors worldwide.

In September 2007, the Company completed an agreement with Mentor for domestic sales of its ultrasound assisted liposuction product, the Lysonix. Mentor agreed to minimum purchase order provisions for the Lysonix for a one year term commencing September 30, 2007, and successive annual renewals upon mutual agreement by the companies. The agreement with Mentor for the Lysonix in the United States is in the process of being negotiated for renewal.

The Company has embarked upon a strategy to consign units, primarily the BoneScalpel, in the United States. In an effort to increase the install base of units in the market, even though this has the effect of increasing Property, Plant and Equipment; and we do not receive revenues for these units, it offers the company wider acceptance of the product and ultimately increase our revenues through the sale of disposables.

Manufacturing and Supply

The Company manufactures and assembles its medical device products at its production facility located in Farmingdale, New York. The Company's products include components manufactured by other companies in the United States. The Company is not dependent upon any single source of supply and has no long-term supply agreements. The Company believes that it will not encounter difficulty in obtaining materials, supplies and components adequate for its anticipated short-term needs.

Competition

Competition in the medical device products industry is rigorous with many companies having significant capital resources, large research laboratories and extensive distribution systems greater than the Company's. Some of the Company's major competitors are Johnson & Johnson, Valley Lab, a division of Tyco Healthcare, Integra Life Sciences, Inc., Sööring, and Stryker.

Regulatory Requirements

The Company's medical device products are subject to the regulatory requirements of the FDA. A medical device as defined by the FDA is an instrument, apparatus, implement, machine, contrivance, implant, in vitro reagent, or other similar or related article, including a component, part, or accessory which is recognized in the official National Formulary or the United States Pharmacopoeia, or any supplement to such listings, intended for use in the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, in man or animals, or intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or animals, and which does not achieve any of its primary intended purposes through chemical action within or on the body of man or animals and which is not dependent upon being metabolized for the achievement of any of its primary intended purposes (a "medical device"). The Company's products that are subject to FDA regulations for product labeling and promotion comply with all applicable regulations. The Company is listed with the FDA as a medical device manufacturer and has the appropriate FDA Establishment Numbers in place. The Company has a post-market monitoring system in place such as Complaint Handling and Medical Device Reporting procedures. All current devices manufactured and sold by the Company have all the necessary regulatory approvals. The Company is not aware of any situations which would be materially adverse at this time and neither has the FDA sought legal remedies available, nor have there been any violations of its regulations alleged, against the Company at present.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and the exhibits hereto, the following risk factors should be considered carefully in evaluating our business. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. This section contains forward-looking statements. You should refer to the explanation of the qualifications and limitations on forward-looking statements set forth immediately prior to the beginning of Item 1 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Additional risks not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations. The following list sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could impact the Company's ability to achieve results discussed in any forward leading statement. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties.

Risks Related to Our Business

We are subject to extensive medical device regulation which may impede or hinder the approval process for our products and, in some cases, may not ultimately result in approval or may result in the recall or seizure of previously approved products.

Our products, development activities and manufacturing processes are subject to extensive and rigorous regulation by the FDA pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the "FDC Act"), by comparable agencies in foreign countries, and by other regulatory agencies and governing bodies. Under the FDC Act, medical devices must receive FDA clearance or approval before they can be commercially marketed in the U.S. In addition, most major markets for medical devices outside the U.S. require clearance, approval or compliance with certain standards before a product can be commercially marketed. The process of obtaining marketing approval or clearance from the FDA for new products, or with respect to enhancements or modifications to existing products, could:

Even after products have received marketing approval or clearance, product approvals and clearances by the FDA can be withdrawn due to failure to comply with regulatory standards or the occurrence of unforeseen problems following initial approval. There can be no assurance that we will receive the required clearances from the FDA for new products or modifications to existing products on a timely basis or that any FDA approval will not be subsequently withdrawn. Later discovery of previously unknown problems with a product or manufacturer could result in fines, delays or suspensions of regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating restrictions and/or criminal prosecution. The failure to receive product approval clearance on a timely basis, suspensions of regulatory clearances, seizures or recalls of products or the withdrawal of product approval by the FDA could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may not meet regulatory quality standards applicable to our manufacturing and quality processes.

As a medical device manufacturer, we are required to register with the FDA and are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA for compliance with the FDA's Quality System Regulation requirements, which require manufacturers of medical devices to adhere to certain regulations, including testing, quality control and documentation procedures. In addition, the Federal Medical Device Reporting regulations require us to provide information to the FDA whenever there is evidence that reasonably suggests that a medical device may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury or, if a malfunction were to occur, could cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements is subject to continual review and is rigorously monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA. In the European Community, we are required to maintain certain ISO certifications in order to sell our products and must undergo periodic inspections by notified bodies to obtain and maintain these certifications. Failure to meet regulatory quality standards could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Future intellectual property litigation could be costly and disruptive to us.

We operate in an industry that is susceptible to significant intellectual property litigation and, in recent years, it has been common for companies in the medical device field to aggressively challenge the patent rights of other companies in order to prevent the marketing of new devices. Intellectual property litigation is expensive, complex and lengthy and its outcome is difficult to predict. Future patent litigation may result in significant royalty or other payments or injunctions that can prevent the sale of products and may significantly divert the attention of our technical and management personnel. In the event that our right to market any of our products is successfully challenged, and if we fail to obtain a required license or are unable to design around a patent, our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

We may not be able to effectively protect our intellectual property rights.

Patents and other proprietary rights are and will be essential to our business and our ability to compete effectively with other companies will be dependent upon the proprietary nature of our technologies. We also rely upon trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovations, strategic alliances and licensing opportunities to develop, maintain and strengthen our competitive position. We pursue a policy of generally obtaining patent protection in both the U.S. and abroad for patentable subject matter in our proprietary devices and also attempt to review third-party patents and patent applications to the extent publicly available to develop an effective patent strategy, avoid infringement of third-party patents, identify licensing opportunities and monitor the patent claims of others. We currently own numerous U.S. and foreign patents. We also are party to various license agreements pursuant to which patent rights have been obtained or granted in consideration for cash or royalty payments. No assurance can be made that any pending or future patent applications will result in issued patents, that any current or future patents issued to, or licensed by, us will not be challenged or circumvented by our competitors, or that our patents will not be found invalid.

In addition, we may have to take legal action in the future to protect our patents, trade secrets or know-how or to assert our intellectual property rights against claimed infringement by others. Any legal action of that type could be costly and time consuming to us and no assurances can be made that any lawsuit will be successful.

The invalidation of key patents or proprietary rights that we own, or an unsuccessful outcome in lawsuits to protect our intellectual property, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Future product liability claims and other litigation, including private securities litigation and shareholder derivative suits, may adversely affect our business, reputation and ability to attract and retain customers.

The design, manufacture and marketing of medical device products of the types that we produce entail an inherent risk of product liability claims. A number of factors could result in an unsafe condition or injury to, or death of, a patient with respect to these or other products that we manufacture or sell, including component failures, manufacturing flaws, design defects or inadequate disclosure of product-related risks or product-related information. These factors could result in product liability claims, a recall of one or more of our products or a safety alert relating to one or more of our products. Product liability claims may be brought by individuals or by groups seeking to represent a class.

Anyone or any company can bring an action against Misonix.

Our judicial system allows anyone to bring a claim against the Company and force the Company to defend itself even if the claim is baseless. The defense may or may not be covered by the Company's insurance, the result of which could ultimately create a burden on the Company dependent upon the outcome.

Our future growth is dependent upon the development of new products, which requires significant research and development, clinical trials and regulatory approvals, all of which are very expensive and time-consuming and may not result in a commercially viable product.

In order to develop new products and improve current product offerings, we focus our research and development programs largely on the development of next-generation and novel technology offerings across multiple programs and opportunities.

As a part of the regulatory process of obtaining marketing clearance from the FDA for new products, we conduct and participate in numerous clinical trials with a variety of study designs, patient populations and trial endpoints. Unfavorable or inconsistent clinical data from existing or future clinical trials conducted by us, by our competitors or by third parties, or the market's perception of this clinical data, may adversely impact our ability to obtain product approvals from the FDA, our position in, and share of, the markets in which we participate and our business, financial condition, results of operations or future prospects. 

New products may not be accepted in the market.

We are now, and will continue to be, developing new products and introducing them into the market. There can be no assurance that any new product will be accepted by the market. New products are sometimes introduced into the market in a prototype format and may need later revisions or design changes before they operate in a manner to be accepted in the market. As a result of the introduction of new products, there is some risk that revenue expectations may not be met and in some cases the product may not achieve market acceptance.

We face intense competition and may not be able to keep pace with the rapid technological changes in the medical device industry.

The medical device product market is highly competitive. We encounter significant competition across our product lines and in each market in which our products are sold from various medical device companies, some of which have greater financial and marketing resources than we do.

Additionally, the medical device product market is characterized by extensive research and development and rapid technological change. Developments by other companies of new or improved products, processes or technology may make our products or proposed products obsolete or less competitive and may negatively impact our revenues. We are required to devote continued efforts and financial resources to develop or acquire scientifically advanced technologies and products, apply our technologies cost-effectively across product lines and markets, attract and retain skilled development personnel, obtain patent and other protection for our technology and products, obtain required regulatory and reimbursement approvals and successfully manufacture and market our products. Failure to develop new products or enhance existing products could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Consolidation in the healthcare industry could lead to demands for price concessions or the exclusion of some suppliers from certain of our significant market segments.

The cost of healthcare has risen significantly over the past decade and numerous initiatives and reforms initiated by legislators, regulators and third-party payers to curb these costs have resulted in a consolidation trend in the healthcare industry, including hospitals. This in turn has resulted in greater pricing pressures and the exclusion of certain suppliers from important market segments as group purchasing organizations, independent delivery networks and large single accounts continue to consolidate purchasing decisions for some of our hospital customers. We expect that market demand, government regulation, third-party reimbursement policies and societal pressures will continue to change the worldwide healthcare industry, resulting in further business consolidations and alliances among our customers and competitors, which may reduce competition, exert further downward pressure on the prices of our products and may adversely impact our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We may experience disruption in supply due to our dependence on our suppliers to continue to ship product requirements and our inability to obtain suppliers of certain components for our products.

Our suppliers may encounter problems during manufacturing due to a variety of reasons, including failure to follow specific protocols and procedures, failure to comply with applicable regulations, equipment malfunctions, labor shortages or environmental factors. In addition, we purchase both raw materials used in our products and finished goods from various suppliers and may have to rely on a single source supplier for certain components of our products where there are no alternatives are available. Although we anticipate that we have adequate sources of supply and/or inventory of these components to handle our production needs for the foreseeable future, if we are unable to secure on a timely basis sufficient quantities of the materials we depend on to manufacture our products, if we encounter delays or contractual or other difficulties in our relationships with these suppliers, or if we cannot find suppliers at an acceptable cost, then the manufacture of our products may be disrupted, which could increase our costs and have a material adverse effect on our business.

If we fail to manage any expansion or acquisition, our business could be impaired.

We may in the future acquire one or more technologies, products or companies that complement our business. We may not be able to effectively integrate these into our business and any such acquisition could bring additional risks, exposures and challenges to the Company. In addition, acquisitions may dilute our earnings per share, disrupt our ongoing business, distract our management and employees, increase our expenses, subject us to liabilities and increase our risk of litigation, all of which could harm our business. If we use cash to acquire technologies, products, or companies, such use may divert resources otherwise available for other purposes. If we use our common stock to acquire technologies, products, or companies, our shareholders may experience substantial dilution. If we fail to manage any expansions or acquisition, our business could be impaired.

Our agreements and contracts entered into with partners and other third parties may not be successful.

We signed in the past and may pursue in the future contracts and agreements with third parties to assist in our marketing, manufacturing, selling and distribution efforts. We cannot assure you that any agreements or arrangements entered into will be successful.

The current disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain debt financing on favorable terms (or at all) and have other adverse effects on us.

The United States credit markets have recently experienced historic dislocations and liquidity disruptions which have caused financing to be unavailable in many cases and even if available caused spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the debt markets, making financing terms for borrowers able to find financing less attractive, and in many cases have resulted in the unavailability of certain types of debt financing. Continued uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access debt financing on favorable terms or at all. In addition, Federal legislation to deal with the current disruptions in the financial markets could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The fluctuation of our quarterly results may adversely affect the trading price of our common stock.

Our revenues and results of operations have in the past and will likely vary in the future from quarter to quarter due to a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control and any of which may cause our stock price to fluctuate. You should not rely on quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our results of operations as an indication of our future performance. It is likely that in some future quarters, our results of operations may be below the expectations of public market analysts and investors. In this event, the price of our common stock may fall.

We may not be able to attract and retain additional key management, sales and marketing and technical personnel, or we may lose existing key management, sales and marketing or technical personnel, which may delay our development and marketing efforts.

We depend on a number of key management, sales and marketing and technical personnel. The loss of the services of one or more key employees could delay the achievement of our development and marketing objectives. Our success will also depend on our ability to attract and retain additional highly qualified management, sales and marketing and technical personnel to meet our growth goals. We face intense competition for qualified personnel, many of whom are often subject to competing employment offers, and we do not know whether we will be able to attract and retain such personnel.

Future changes in financial accounting standards or practices or existing taxation rules or practices may cause adverse or unexpected revenue fluctuations and affect our reported results of operations.

A change in accounting standards or practices or a change in existing taxation rules or practices can have a significant effect on our reported results and may even affect our reporting of transactions completed before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and taxation rules and varying interpretations of accounting pronouncements and taxation practice have occurred and may occur in the future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may adversely affect our reported financial results or the way we conduct our business.

Adverse litigation results could affect our business.

Litigation can be lengthy, expensive and disruptive to our operations, and results cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse decision could result in monetary damages or injunctive relief that could affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Affordable Healthcare for America Act includes provisions that may adversely affect our business and results of operations, including an excise tax on the sales of most medical devices.

On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives passed the Affordable Health Care for America Act, which President Obama signed into law on March 23, 2010. While we are continuing to evaluate this legislation and its potential impact on the Company, it may adversely affect our business and results of operations, possibly materially.

Specifically, one of the new law's components is a 2.3% excise tax on sales of most medical devices, starting in January 2013. This tax may put increased cost pressure on medical device companies, including our customers, and may lead our customers to reduce their orders for products we produce or to request that we reduce the prices we charge for products we produce in order to offset the tax.

We are subject to extensive anti-corruption laws and regulations.

Our international operations must comply with U.S. law, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"). The FCPA and similar foreign anti-corruption laws generally prohibit companies and their intermediaries from making improper payments or providing anything of value to improperly influence foreign government officials for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business regardless of whether those practices are legal or culturally expected in the foreign jurisdiction. Recently, there has been a substantial increase in the global enforcement of anti-corruption laws. Although we are not aware of any incidents, we could be the subject to claims that may adversely impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation. Violations of these laws could result in criminal or civil sanctions.

We are experiencing greater scrutiny and regulation by governmental authorities, which may lead to greater regulation in the future.

Our medical devices and our business activities are subject to rigorous regulation, including by the U.S. FDA , DOJ, and numerous other federal, state and foreign governmental authorities. These authorities and members of Congress have been increasing their scrutiny of our industry. Certain state governments and the federal government have enacted legislation aimed at increasing transparency of our interactions with health care providers. As a result, we are required by law to disclose payments and other transfers of value to health care providers licensed by certain states and, starting with payments or other transfers of value made on or after August 1, 2013, to all U.S. physicians and U.S. teaching hospitals at the federal level. Any failure to comply with these legal and regulatory requirements could impact our business. In addition, we may continue to devote substantial additional time and financial resources to further develop and implement policies, systems, and processes to comply with enhanced legal and regulatory requirements, which may also impact our business. We anticipate that governmental authorities will continue to scrutinize our industry closely, and that additional regulation may increase compliance and legal costs, exposure to litigation, and other adverse effects to our operations.

See "Item 1. Business - Discontinued Operations - Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products Business."

Fiscal years ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

Net sales :

Net sales decreased $850,774 to $14,827,226 in fiscal 2013 from $15,678,000 in fiscal 2012. The decrease is due to lower AutoSonic revenue of $1,383,862, lower Lysonix revenue of $994,335, lower SonaStar revenue of $573,498, along with lower revenue from service contracts of $53,877, partially offset by higher BoneScalpel revenue of $1,578,890 and higher SonicOne revenue of $560,761.

Set forth below are tables showing the Company's net sales by (i) product category and (ii) geographic region for the years ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012:

Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2013 were $3,758,983, a decrease of $1,541,537. The sales decrease is mainly due to lower AutoSonic revenue of $659,747, lower SonaStar revenue of $338,795, lower Lysonix revenue of $243,515, lower BoneScalpel sales of $141,840, lower SonicOne revenue of $87,387 and lower service revenue of $57,106.

Set forth below are tables showing the Company's net sales by (i) product category and (ii) geographic region for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012:

Gross profit:

Gross profit decreased to 49.9% in fiscal 2013 from 58.8% in fiscal 2012. The decrease is primarily related to the increase in minimum gross profit accrual related to the Soma product, along with increased inventory reserves for both Soma and Anika products due to their reaching their expiration dates. The inventory reserves had a 5.5% adverse effect on gross profit.

Gross profit decreased to 34.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 from 57.7% for the three months June 30, 2012. The decrease in gross profit is primarily due to the increase in the gross profit accrual related to the Soma product along with increased inventory reserves. These items had a 24% adverse impact on gross profit.

Selling expenses:

Selling expenses increased $1,744,373 to $6,776,204 (46% of sales) in fiscal 2013 from $5,031,831 (32% of sales) in fiscal 2012. The increase in selling expenses is related to higher personnel expenses of $942,983, higher commissions of $404,369, higher travel expenses of $154,102, higher advertising expenses of $82,514, higher training, depreciation, freight and consulting expenses of $155,130 and other expenses of $5,275.

Selling expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased $595,585 to $2,007,337 (53% of sales) from $1,411,752 (27% of sales). The increase in selling expenses is due to higher personnel costs of $235,620, higher commissions of $248,291, higher travel, advertising and depreciation expense of $95,391 and other unfavorable expenses of $6,283.

General and administrative expenses:

General and administrative expenses increased $69,935 to $4,446,489 in fiscal 2013 from $4,376,554. The increase is due to higher stockholder relation expenses of $62,772 and other unfavorable expenses of $7,163. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, general and administrative expenses increased $53,489 to $1,155,818 from $1,102,320. The increase in expense is mainly due to higher non-cash compensation expenses of $45,445 and other unfavorable expenses of $8,053.

Research and development expenses:

Research and development expenses increased $203,833 to $1,496,058 in fiscal 2013 from $1,292,225 in fiscal 2012. The increase in expenses is due to higher salary expense of $125,835, higher product development expenses of $69,715, and other unfavorable expenses of $8,283. For the three months ended June 30, 2013, research and development expenses increased $7,528 to $352,769 from $345,241 from the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Other income:

Other income increased $1,710,640 in fiscal 2013 to $2,396,829 from $686,186 in fiscal 2012. The increase is due to higher royalty revenue of $1,893,142, partially offset by higher royalty expenses of $109,361. The increase in royalty expense is due to a net fee recovery of $182,000 of the BoneScalpel royalty expense which we were not obligated to pay in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, other income increased $546,646 due to higher royalty income of $584,442.

Income taxes: In fiscal 2013 the income tax benefit for continuing operations had an effective tax rate of 3%. Overall, when considering discontinued operations, the Company had minimal income tax expense. In prior years the Company established a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets due to the net loss from operations over the past 5 years which caused management to conclude that it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets may not be fully realized.

Discontinued operations:

The following represents the results of the Laboratory and Forensic Safety Products business along with legal and other expenses associated with Labcaire and Misonix HIFU Technologies Limited which are included in discontinued operations:

Refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 for further discussion of the nature of discontinued operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Working capital at June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 was $9,717,000 and $11,734,000, respectively. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, cash used in operations totaled $396,045, due to the net loss from continuing operations of $2,846,747 partially offset by higher accounts payable and accrued expenses of $895,337, higher depreciation, amortization and other non-cash items of $785,437, higher stock-based compensation of $488,472, lower accounts receivable of $124,541, lower inventory of $92,926 and higher allowance for bad debt of $58,902. For the fiscal year 2013, cash used in investing activities totaled $615,961, primarily consisting of the purchase of property, plant and equipment and increased demonstration equipment for the BoneScalpel during the regular course of business along with the purchase of assets from Aesculap. For the fiscal year 2013, cash provided by financing activities was $369,646. Cash provided by discontinued operations was $175,782.

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had a cash balance of $5,806,437 and believes it has sufficient cash to finance operations for at least the next 12 months.

The Company maintains cash balances at various financial institutions. At June 30, 2013, these financial institutions held cash that was approximately $5,569,117 in excess of amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Commitments

The Company has commitments under operating leases that will be funded from operating sources. At June 30, 2013, the Company's contractual cash obligations and commitments relating to operating leases are as follows:

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company's financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to the Company.

Other

In the opinion of management, inflation has not had a material effect on the operations of the Company.

Critical Accounting Policies:

General: Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Annual Report includes a summary of the Company's significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of its financial statements. The Company's discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon the Company's financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to bad debts, inventories, goodwill, property, plant and equipment, stock based compensation and income taxes. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed 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. The Company believes that the following are our more critical estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts : Accounts receivable, principally trade, are generally due within 30 to 90 days and are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer's current credit worthiness, as determined by a review of their current credit information. The Company continuously monitors aging reports, collections and payments from customers and maintains a provision for estimated credit losses based upon historical experience and any specific customer collection issues that have been identified. While such credit losses have historically been within expectations and the provisions established, the Company cannot guarantee the same credit loss rates will be experienced in the future. The Company writes off accounts receivable when they become uncollectible.

Inventories : Inventories, consisting of purchased materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead, are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-out method) or market. At each balance sheet date, we evaluate ending inventories for excess quantities and obsolescence. Our evaluation includes an analysis of historical sales by product, projections of future demand by product, the risk of technological or competitive obsolescence for our products, general market conditions, and the feasibility of reworking or using excess or obsolete products or components in the production or assembly of other products that are not obsolete or for which we do not have excess quantities in inventory. To the extent that we determine there are excess or obsolete quantities, we record valuation reserves against all or a portion of the value of the related products to adjust their carrying value to estimated net realizable value. If future demand or market conditions are different from our projections, or if we are unable to rework excess or obsolete quantities into other products, we may change the recorded amount of inventory valuation reserves through a charge or reduction in cost of product revenues in the period the revision is made.

Long Lived Assets : Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Minor replacements and maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the useful life of the related asset, whichever is shorter. Inventory items included in property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight line method over estimated useful lives of 3 to 5 years. We evaluate long-lived assets, including property, plant and equipment and intangible assets other than goodwill, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of specific assets or group of assets may not be recoverable. When an evaluation is required, we estimate the future undiscounted cash flows associated with the specific asset or group of assets. If the cost of the asset or group of assets cannot be recovered by these undiscounted cash flows, an impairment charge would be recorded. Our estimates of future cash flows are based on our experience and internal business plans. Our internal business plans require judgments regarding future economic conditions, product demand and pricing. Although we believe our estimates are appropriate, significant differences in the actual performance of an asset or group of assets may materially affect our evaluation of the recoverability of the asset values currently recorded.

Revenue Recognition : The Company records revenue upon shipment for products shipped F.O.B. shipping point. Products shipped F.O.B. destination points are recorded as revenue when received at the point of destination. Shipments under agreements with distributors are not subject to return and payment for these shipments is not contingent on sales by the distributor. Accordingly, the Company recognizes revenue on shipments to distributors in the same manner as with other customers. Service contract income is recognized when earned.

Goodwill : Goodwill is not amortized. We review goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or changes indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of significant assets or products. Application of these impairment tests requires significant judgments, including estimation of cash flows, which is dependent on internal forecasts, estimation of the long-term rate of growth for our business, the useful life over which cash flows will occur and determination of our weighted-average cost of capital. Changes in the projected cash flows and discount rate estimates and assumptions underlying the valuation of goodwill could materially affect the determination of fair value at acquisition or during subsequent periods when tested for impairment. The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment tests for fiscal 2013 and 2012 in the respective fourth quarter. No impairment of goodwill was deemed to exist.

Income Taxes : Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability of deferred tax assets including estimates of future sufficient taxable income to support the recovery of tax assets.

Financial accounting standards establish guidance for the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. The Company may recognize the tax benefits from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Financial accounting standards also provide guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosures requirements.

Stock-Based Compensation : The fair value of the Company's outstanding stock options is estimated based upon option price, volatility, the risk free rate, and the average time the shares are held. It is then amortized over the vesting period. See Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding stock-based compensation.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Exchange Act")) that are designed to assure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of that date.

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, and affected by the board of directors and management to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") including those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of assets, (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and the directors, and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2013.  In order to assist in the testing of our internal controls, the Company engaged a third-party to assist in the testing and evaluation of our internal control systems.

This Annual Report does not include an attestation report of the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's current independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this Annual Report.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during our fourth fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 

Item 9B. Other Information.

None.

PART III

Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers of the Registrant and Corporate Governance.

The Company currently has seven Directors (the "Board"). Their term expires at the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The following table contains information regarding all Directors and executive officers of the Company:

The following is a brief account of the business experience of the Company's Directors and executive officers:

John W. Gildea is the founding principal of Gildea Management Co., a management company of special situations with middle market companies in the United States and Central Europe. From 2000 to 2003, Gildea Management Co. formed a joint venture with J.O. Hambro Capital Management Co. to manage accounts targeting high yield debt and small capitalization equities. From 1996 to 2000, Gildea Management Co. formed and founded Latona Europe, a joint venture between Latona U.S., Lazard Co. and Gildea Management Co. to restructure several Czech Republic companies. Before forming Gildea Management Co. in 1990, Mr. Gildea managed the Corporate Series Group at Donaldson, Lufkin and Jenrette, an investment banking firm. Mr. Gildea is a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh.

Mr. Gildea has extensive experience as an international investment banker and sits on the Board of several companies. The Board believes this experience qualifies him to serve as a director.

Howard Alliger founded the Company's predecessor in 1955 and the Company was a sole proprietorship until 1960. The Company name then was Heat Systems-Ultrasonics. Mr. Alliger was President of the Company until 1982 and Chairman of the Board until 1996. In 1996 Mr. Alliger stepped down as Chairman and ceased to be a corporate officer. He has been awarded 23 patents and has published various papers on ultrasonic technology. For three years, ending in 1991, Mr. Alliger was the President of the Ultrasonic Industry Association.

Item 11. Executive Compensation.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program and Philosophy

Our compensation program is intended to:

The ultimate objective of our compensation program is to increase shareholder value. We seek to achieve these objectives with a total compensation approach which takes into account a competitive base salary, bonus pay based on the annual performance of the Company and individual goals and stock option awards.

Base Salaries

Base salaries paid to executives are intended to attract and retain highly talented individuals. In setting base salaries, individual experience, individual performance, the Company's performance and job responsibilities during the year are considered. Executive salaries are reconciled by Human Resources and evaluated against local companies of similar size and nature.

Annual Bonus Plan Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board approves annual performance-based compensation. The purpose of the annual bonus-based compensation is to motivate executive officers and key employees. Target bonuses, based upon recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer, are evaluated and approved by the Compensation Committee for all management employees other than the Chief Executive Officer. The bonus recommendations are derived from individual and Company performance but not based on a specific formula and are discretionary. The Chief Executive Officer's bonus compensation is derived from the recommendation of the Compensation Committee based upon the Chief Executive Officer's performance and Company performance but is not based on a specific formula and is discretionary.

Stock Option Awards

Stock option awards are intended to attract and retain highly talented executives, to provide an opportunity for significant compensation when overall Company performance is reflected in the stock price and to help align executives' and shareholders' interests. Stock options are typically granted at the time of hire to key new employees and annually to a broad group of existing key employees, including executive officers.

Annual option grants to executive officers are made in the form of incentive stock options ("ISOs") to the fullest extent permitted under tax laws, with the balance granted in the form of nonqualified stock options. ISOs have potential income tax advantage for executives if the executive disposes of the acquired shares after satisfying certain holding periods. Tax laws provide that the aggregate grant at date of grant for market value of ISOs that become exercisable for any employee in any year may not exceed $100,000.

Our current standard vesting schedule for all employees is 25% on the first anniversary of the date of grant, 50% on the second anniversary of the date of grant, 75% on the third anniversary of the date of grant and 100% on the fourth anniversary of the date of grant.

401 (k) Plan

Our Individual Deferred Tax and Savings Plan (the "401 (k) plan") is a tax qualified retirement savings plan pursuant to which all of the Company's U.S. employees may defer compensation under Section 401 (k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Company contributes an amount equal to 10% of salary contributed under the 401 (k) plan by an eligible employee, up to the maximum allowed under the Code. We do not provide any supplemental retirement benefits to executive officers.

Change in Control benefits

Change in control benefits are intended to diminish the distraction that executives would face by virtue of the personal uncertainties created by a pending or threatened change in control and to assure that the Company will continue to have the executive's full attention and services at all time. Our change in control benefits are designed to be competitive with similar benefits available at companies with which we compete for executives' talent. These benefits, as one element of our total compensation program, help the Company attract, retain and motivate highly talented executives.

Mr. McManus is entitled to severance pay and benefits if he terminates his employment with the Company following a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) described later in this Report, to provide him with an incentive to remain with the Company and consummate a strategic corporate sale or transaction that maximizes shareholder value. Severance pay and benefits are triggered upon (i) his Involuntary Termination without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement) for a reason other than death or Disability (as defined in the Employment Agreement) or (ii) as a result of a Constructive Termination (as defined in the Employment Agreement) which in either case occurs: (x) during the period not to exceed twenty-four (24) months after the effective date of a Change in Control, or (y) before the effective date of a Change in Control, but after the first date on which the Board and/or senior management of the Company has entered into formal negotiations with a potential acquirer that results in the consummation of a Change in Control.

In the event that pay and benefits are triggered, Mr. McManus (A) is entitled to receive severance pay in an amount equal to two (2) times the sum of (a) his annual base pay and (b) bonus at the highest rate paid him for any fiscal year during the aggregate period of his employment by the Company, payable in cash in a lump sum; and the payment of premiums for medical, dental, vision, hospitalization and long term care coverage under Company plans for a period of twenty-four (24) months; (B) has the right, for a period of (i) ninety (90) days for stock options granted under any of the Company's Employee Stock Option Plans adopted prior to 2005 and (ii) two (2) years for stock options granted under the Company's 2005 Employee Equity Incentive Plan, 2009 Employee Equity Incentive Plan and any Plan adopted after the effective date of the Employment Agreement following his Termination Date (as defined in the Employment Agreement), to exercise the options to the extent such options are otherwise vested and exercisable as of the Termination Date under the terms of the applicable stock option agreement(s) and Plan(s); and (C) will vest in all unvested stock option grants with respect to options granted after July 1, 2012.

Mr. Zaremba has an agreement for the payment of twelve months of annual base salary upon a change in control of the Company.

Tax deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162 (m) of the Code limits to $1,000,000 per person the amount that we may deduct for compensation paid to any of our most highly compensated officers in any year. In fiscal 2013, there was no executive officer's compensation that exceeded $1,000,000.

The following table sets forth information concerning the compensation awarded to, earned by or paid to our named executive officers during the past two fiscal years for services rendered to the Company:

The Company and Mr. McManus have entered into two letter agreements providing for the exercise of vested options by Mr. McManus (i) for a ninety (90) day period after his retirement with respect to stock options granted under certain of the Company's stock option plans and (ii) for two (2) years after Mr. McManus terminates his employment with the Company in the event of a Change-in-Control (as defined in the applicable stock option plans) and he is eligible for the severance benefits provided for by the Employment Agreement.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Stockholders

MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MISONIX, INC. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
