BACKGROUND AND ORGANIZATION

The Company is a manufacturer and distributor of cosmetic dentistry products, including a full line of professional dental and retail “Over-The-Counter” tooth whitening products which are distributed in Europe,  Asia and the United States. The Company manufactures many of its products in its facility in Deurle, Belgium as well as outsourced manufacturing in China. The Company distributes its products using both its own internal sales force and through the use of third party distributors.

On December 11, 2008, the Company completed a restructuring in the form of a management-led buyout of 50% of its OTC retail business.  The buyout was led by Mr. List, the Company’s former director and Chief Executive Officer, with financing provided by Concordia Fund VC, a non-affiliated foreign investment fund.  Prior to the sale, the Board approved a restructuring plan and strategy for transferring  the Company’s OTC business through a series of transactions involving subsidiary formations, contributions of subsidiary(ies) interests and sales of stock interests through subsidiary transactions, with particular emphasis focused on current OTC business operations conducted through the Company’s subsidiaries, both internationally and within the domestic U.S. (the “Plan”).
 
The total consideration for the sale of OTC business is approximately €4,654,736, which consists of (1) €1,000,000  in cash, (2)  €654,736  based on the exchange rate as of January 12, 2008 for the 723,000 restricted shares of the Company previously held by Mr. List (valued at $1.15 per share for an aggregate value of  $831,450), and (3) €3,000,000 which is the estimated value of the ownership interest of 50 % of the shares of Remedent OTC held by the Company.
 
Pursuant to the agreements described in Note 3, the sale was conducted through a series of transactions which included the consolidation of all of the ownership interest of the Company’s subsidiaries operating the OTC business into Remedent OTC; a sale of 50% of Remedent OTC to Mr. List; the  formation of Sylphar Holding B.V., a Dutch holding company, followed by a  contribution of the OTC subsidiaries to Sylphar Holding by Remedent OTC, and a subsequent investment by Concordia of  €2,000,000. Although Mr. List resigned as director and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Remedent N.V., Mr. List remains involved in the key management of the OTC business.
 
As a result of the series of transactions related to the sale, the Company now owns 50% of Remedent OTC with Mr. List owning the other 50%, and maintains control of Remedent OTC as a result of its current control of the Board.  In addition, the Company now owns a partial interest in Sylphar Holding through Remedent OTC’s 75% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding, which interest is subject to dilution of up to 24% upon exercise of a call option held by Concordia Fund VC, who currently owns the remaining 25%.   As a result of the sale, all of the OTC business previously operated by the Company directly is now operated and held by Sylphar Holding.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of:

(a)   Pre-OTC Restructuring

Remedent, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries, Remedent N.V. (incorporated in Belgium) located in Deurle, Belgium, Remedent Professional, Inc. (incorporated in California and a subsidiary of Remedent Professional Holdings, Inc.), Remedent Asia Pte. Ltd. ( a wholly-owned subsidiary formed under the laws of Singapore), Sylphar N.V. (incorporated in Belgium as a wholly owned subsidiary on September 24, 2007), and Glamtech-USA, Inc. (a Delaware corporation acquired effective August 24, 2008).

(b)   Post-OTC Restructuring

Remedent, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiaries, Remedent N.V. (incorporated in Belgium and located in Deurle, Belgium, Remedent Professional, Inc. (incorporated in California), Glamtech-USA, Inc. (a Delaware corporation acquired effective August 24, 2008), Remedent OTC B.V. a Dutch Holding company, and a 50% owned subsidiary, Sylphar Holding B.V. (a Dutch holding company and a 37.50% owned and controlled subsidiary by Remedent, Inc.), Sylphar N.V. ( a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sylphar Holding B.V.), Sylphar USA, Inc.  (Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of  Sylphar Holding B.V.), and Sylphar Asia Pte ( an Asian company, and wholly-owned subsidiary of Sylphar Holding B.V.).

Remedent, Inc. is a holding company with headquarters in Deurle, Belgium. Remedent Professional, Inc. and Remedent Professional Holdings, Inc. have been dormant since inception. The rebranded Sylphar Asia Pte Ltd (former Remedent Asia Pte. Ltd.) commenced operations as of July 2005.
 
For all periods presented, all significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements and corporate administrative costs are not allocated to subsidiaries.
 
Interim Financial Information
 
The interim consolidated financial statements of Remedent, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) are condensed and do not include some of the information necessary to obtain a complete understanding of the financial data. Management believes that all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of results have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. Operating results for the nine months ended December 31, 2008, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended March 31, 2009. Accordingly, your attention is directed to footnote disclosures found in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March 31, 2008, and particularly to Note 2, which includes a summary of significant accounting policies.
 
 

Basis of Presentation
 
The Company’s financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and are presented in US dollars unless otherwise noted.  These principles contemplate the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when persuasive evidence of a sale exists: that is, a product is shipped under an agreement with a customer; risk of loss and title has passed to the customer; the fee is fixed or determinable; and collection of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. Sales allowances are estimated based upon historical experience of sales returns.
 
Pervasiveness of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates estimates and judgments, including those related to revenue, bad debts, inventories, fixed assets, intangible assets, stock based compensation, income taxes, and contingencies. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes reasonable in the circumstances. The results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Accounting Policy Change and   New Accounting Pronouncements
 
(a)   Adoption of New Accounting Policy
 
In February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 159, " The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities ". This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
 
The Company adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 159 on April 1, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial reporting.
 
(b)   New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “ Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” . This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008 (the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2009), with early application encouraged. This statement encourages, but does not require, comparative disclosures for earlier periods at initial adoption. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact the future application of this pronouncement may have on its consolidated financial statements.
 
 
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised 2007) “ Business Combinations ”. SFAS 141 (Revised) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer of a business recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The statement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The guidance will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2009. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 141 (Revised) will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
 
In February 2008, the FASB released FSP No. FAS 157-2. FSP No. FAS 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157, " Fair Value Measurements ", for one year for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. It does not defer recognition and disclosure requirements for financial assets and financial liabilities, or for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are remeasured at least annually.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 “ Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 ”. SFAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. The guidance will become effective for the Company’s fiscal year beginning April 1, 2009. Management is in the process of evaluating the impact SFAS 160 will have on the Company’s financial statements upon adoption.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets (“FSP FAS 142-3”), which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”). The intent of FSP FAS 142-3 is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141(R) and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP FAS 142-3 requires an entity to disclose information for a recognized intangible asset that enables users of the financial statements to assess the extent to which the expected future cash flows associated with the asset are affected by the entity’s intent and/or ability to renew or extend the arrangement. FSP FAS 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP FAS 142-3 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP No. APB 14-1”). FSP No. APB 14-1 applies to convertible debt instruments that, by their stated terms, may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion, including partial cash settlement, unless the embedded conversion option is required to be separately accounted for as a derivative under SFAS 133. FSP No. APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of convertible debt instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP No. APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. FSP No. APB 14-1 will be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on periods prior to those presented will be recognized as of the beginning of the first period presented. An offsetting adjustment will be made to the opening balance of retained earnings for that period, presented separately.  The adoption of APB 14-1 is not expected to have a material impact upon the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

RESTRUCTURING OF OTC BUSINESS

To effectuate the restructuring Plan relating to the management led buyout of the Over-The-Counter (“OTC”) business the Company entered into the following series of related agreements:
 
On December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Contribution Agreement with Sylphar USA, Inc., a newly incorporated Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Sylphar USA”), pursuant to which the Company made a capital contribution of certain assets and liabilities relating to the OTC business which was valued at $460,568 to Sylphar USA in exchange for 460,568 shares of common stock, par value $1.00, of Sylphar USA.
 
On December 10, 2008, the Company entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Remedent, N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of Belgium (“Remedent N.V.”), pursuant to which the Company purchased a 99% ownership interest in Sylphar, N.V. a subsidiary of the Company formed under the laws of Belgium, from Remedent N.V. As a result of the Sylphar Purchase Agreement, Sylphar N.V. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the 99 shares (“Sylphar Shares”), the Company agreed to pay Remedent N.V.  €1,881,000, which was based on the valuations provided by an independent assessor, by executing an unsecured non-interest bearing promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) on behalf of Remedent N.V. for the principal amount of  €1,000,160 (the “Debt”) and having the remainder balance of €880,840 reflected on the existing intercompany account between Remedent N.V. and the Company.
 
Then pursuant to a Deed of Contribution, the Company transferred all of the Company’s ownership interest in its OTC operating subsidiaries, consisting of Sylphar USA, Remedent Asia PTE, Sylphar N.V. (“OTC Subsidiaries”), into Remedent OTC B.V., a Dutch holding company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Remedent OTC”) in exchange for €1,000,160 and an allocation and administer the balance of the aggregate value of the OTC Subsidiaries and the consideration as share premium in the books of the Company.
 
Subsequent to the contribution of the OTC Subsidiaries to Remedent OTC, the Company sold fifty percent (50%) of its interest in Remedent OTC to Robin List, a former Chief Executive Officer, President and Director of the Company, in exchange for 723,000 restricted shares of common stock of the Company held by Mr. List (“Exchanged Shares”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement on December 10, 2008. The Exchanged Shares were returned to treasury. The Exchanged Shares were valued at $1.15 per share, based on the average of the 52 week high and low bid, for an aggregate value of $831,450. As a result, Mr. List and the Company equally own 50% of Remedent OTC with the Company currently controlling Remedent OTC through its board representations pursuant to the terms of a certain Voting Agreement entered into by the Company and Mr. List concurrently with the Share Purchase Agreement. The Voting Agreement provides that, the Company will initially have 2 board representation and Mr. List will have 1 board representation.  However upon the occurrence of a “Triggering Event” (as defined in the Voting Agreement), the Company will have 1 board representation and Mr. List will have 2 board representations.
 
 
On December 11, 2008, the Company entered into an Investment and Shareholders’ Agreement with Remedent OTC, Concordia Fund V.C., a non-affiliated Dutch private equity fund (“Concordia”), Mr. List, Sylphar Holding, B.V., a Dutch holding company and wholly owned subsidiary of Remedent OTC (“Sylphar Holding”) and the OTC Subsidiaries pursuant to which Concordia agreed to purchase shares of Sylphar Holding from Remedent OTC representing a 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €1,000,000 and invest an additional €1,000,000 in Sylphar Holding for an additional 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding, representing an aggregate ownership interest of 25% in Sylphar Holding. Furthermore, Concordia was granted a call option exercisable from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2010, unless otherwise extended to September 30, 2011 pursuant to the terms of such agreement, to purchase an additional 24% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €2,000,000 or any pro rata portion thereof.  It was further agreed upon that the €1,000,000 received from Concordia would be used to pay off the Debt.  The shares of Sylphar Holding are subject to certain drag along rights in the event there is an offer to purchase such shares.

DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

On August 24, 2008, the Company entered into a distribution agreement (the “ Distribution Agreement”) with Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Den-Mat”).  Under the terms of the Distribution Agreement, the Company:

(a)  
appointed Den-Mat to be the sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell certain products relating to the Company’s GlamSmile tray technology, including, but not limited to, its GlamSmile veneer products and other related veneer products (the “Products”), throughout the world, with the exception of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France (including Dom-Tom), Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, and United Arab Emirates (collectively the “Excluded Markets”) and the China Market; and

(b)  
granted Den-Mat a sole and exclusive, transferable and sublicensable right and license to use all intellectual property related to the Products throughout specified territory, as well as certain rights in the excluded markets and rights in future intellectual property. Such rights include the right to manufacture the Products upon payment of royalties for the initial three year guaranty period (“Guaranty Period”). Upon the expiration of the Guaranty Period, as detailed in the Distribution Agreement, the sole and exclusive distribution rights and licenses granted under the Agreement automatically become non-exclusive distribution rights and licenses, and all rights to use the “GlamSmile” name and mark shall cease unless the Guaranty Period is extended by Den-Mat under the terms of the Distribution Agreement. Upon termination of the Distribution Agreement, all of Den-Mat’s rights in the Company’s intellectual property, including the right to manufacture the Products shall cease.

As consideration for such distribution, licensing and manufacturing rights, Den-Mat agreed to pay the Company: (i) an initial payment of $2,425,000 (received in the period ended September 30, 2008); (ii) a payment of $250,000 for each of the first three contract periods in the initial Guaranty Period, subject to certain terms and conditions; (iii) certain periodic payments as additional paid-up royalties in the aggregate amount of $500,000; (iv) a payment of $1,000,000 promptly after Den-Mat manufactures a limited quantity of Products at a facility owned or leased by Den-Mat; (v) a payment of $1,000,000 promptly upon completion of certain training of Den-Mat’s personnel; (vi) a payment of $ 1,000,000 upon the first to occur of (a)February 1, 2009 of (b) the date thirty (30) days after den-Mat sells GlamSmile Products incorporating twenty thousand (20,000) Units/Teeth to customers regardless of whether Den-Mat has manufactured such Units/Teeth in a Den-Mat facility or has purchased such Units/Teeth from Remedent; (vii) certain milestone payments; and (viii) certain royalty payments. Further, as consideration for Den-Mat’s obligations under the Distribution Agreement, the Company agreed to, among other things: (i) issue to Den-Mat or an entity to be designated by Den-Mat, warrants to purchase up to 3,378,379 shares of the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Warrant Shares”) at an exercise price of $1.48 per share, exercisable for a period of five years (the “Den-Mat Warrant”) (issued in the period ended September 30, 2008); (ii) execute and deliver to Den-Mat a registration rights agreement covering the registration of the Warrant Shares (the “Registration Rights Agreement”); and (iii) cause its Chairman of the Board, Guy De Vreese, to execute and deliver to Den-Mat a non-competition agreement.

5.
ACQUISITION OF GLAMTECH-USA, INC.
 
On August 24, 2008, as part of the consideration for the rescission and release under the Rescission Agreement entered into between the Company, our wholly owned subsidiary, Remedent N.V., and Glamtech-USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Glamtech”), the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with each of the two Glamtech shareholders (the “Holders”), for the purchase of 100% of Glamtech’s outstanding common stock in exchange for, among certain other consideration:  at the election of the Holders at any time within 6 months, to receive either, but not both, (a) an aggregate of 1,000,000 restricted shares of the registrant’s common stock (the “Shares”), or (b) five (5) year warrants valued by the registrant’s Board of Directors at $1.48 per warrant, to purchase an aggregate of 1,247,216 restricted shares of the registrant’s common stock at a exercise price of $1.30 per share (the “Warrant Shares”).  Further, pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the Shares or the Warrant Shares, as applicable, on a registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the date of the Holder’s election, but no sooner than seventy-five (75) days from the effective date of the Stock Purchase Agreement.  All of the securities issued to the two Glamtech shareholders are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Sections 4(2), and Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities and Exchange Commission and from various similar state exemptions.
 
 
 
During the quarter ended December 31, 2008, both Holders elected to receive a total of 1,000,000 restricted shares.  The shares were issued prior to December 31, 2008 and were recorded at a fair value of $625,000.

6. 
PRIVATE PLACEMENT

On June 25, 2007, the Company completed its private offering of 5,600,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share at a purchase price of $1.25 per share (the “Shares”) and warrants to purchase 4,200,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, at an exercise price of $1.55 per share (the “Warrants”) to certain institutional and accredited investors, for an aggregate purchase price of $7,000,000 (the “Offering”).
 
Under the terms of the Offering, the Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years and entitle the holder to purchase one share of restricted common stock (the “Warrant Shares”) for $1.55 per Warrant Share. The Company also has the right to redeem the Warrants for $0.001 per Warrant Share covered by the Warrants if the Shares trade on the OTC Electronic Bulletin Board or similar market above $5.25 per share for 20 consecutive trading days following the initial effective date of the registration statement covering the resale of the Shares and Warrant Shares, based upon the closing bid price for the Shares for each trading day (the “Redemption Right”). Once the Redemption Right vests, the Company has the right, but not the obligation, to redeem the Warrants for $0.001 per Warrant Share covered by the Warrants upon 30 days written notice to the holders of the Warrants.
 
Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company was required to prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement covering the resale of the Shares and the Warrant Shares. The Company agreed to prepare and file a registration statement covering the resale no later than 30 days after the Closing. The registration statement became effective October 23, 2007.
 
The Company engaged Roth Capital Partners, LLC, as its exclusive agent to offer the Shares and Warrants (the “Placement Agent”). The Placement Agent is entitled to a fee equal to ten percent (10%) of the gross proceeds derived from the Offering, of which the Placement Agent may, at its option, receive up to 2% of its 10% fee in securities issued in the Offering. Further, the Company agreed to pay the Placement Agent 5% of the exercise price of the Warrants promptly following the Company’s receipt thereof. In addition, the Company agreed to reimburse the Placement Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses related to the Offering, including an up front payment of $25,000 to cover such expenses, of which any unused amount would be netted against the Placement Agent’s 10% fee.
 
As of December 31, 2008, the total costs of this private placement were $1,235,223, comprising of: commissions of $762,505; out-of-pocket costs of $25,000; professional fees of $375,738 and direct travel costs of $71,980; and have been recorded against share capital as a cost of financing.
 
The Offering was conducted in reliance upon an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, that under Section 506 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Units were offered and sold by the Company to accredited investors in reliance on Section 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act.
 
 
 
7.
CONCENTRATION OF RISK

Financial Instruments — Financial instruments, which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable.
 
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are normally limited due to the number of customers comprising the Company’s customer base and their dispersion across different geographic areas. At December 31, 2008 two customers accounted for 69% of the Company’s trade accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and normally does not require collateral to support accounts receivable.
 
Purchases — The Company has diversified its sources for product components and finished goods and, as a result, the loss of a supplier would not have a material impact on the Company’s operations. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2008, the Company had five suppliers who accounted for a total of 29% of gross purchases.  For the nine month period ended December 31, 2007, the Company had five suppliers who accounted for a total of 55% of gross purchases.
 
Revenues — For the nine months ended December 31, 2008 the Company had five customers that accounted for 55% of total revenues.   Out of these five customers, one accounted for 60% and another accounted for 11% of total revenues. For the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 the Company had five customers that accounted for 62% of total revenues.

LICENSED PATENTS

Teeth Whitening Patents
 
In October 2004, the Company acquired from the inventor the exclusive, perpetual license to two issued United States patents which are applicable to several teeth whitening products currently being marketed by the Company. Pursuant to the terms of the license agreement, the Company was granted an exclusive, worldwide, perpetual license to manufacture, market, distribute and sell the products contemplated by the patents subject to the payment of $65,000 as reimbursement to the patent holder for legal and other costs associated with obtaining the patents, which was paid in October 2004, and royalties for each unit sold subject to an annual minimum royalty of $100,000 per year. The Company is amortizing the initial cost of $65,000 for these patents over a ten year period and accordingly has recorded $27,625 of accumulated amortization for this patent as of December 31, 2008. The Company accrues this royalty when it becomes payable to inventory therefore no provision has been made for this obligation as of December 31, 2008 (2007-Nil).
 
Universal Applicator Patent
 
In September 2004, the Company entered into an agreement with Lident N.V. (“Lident”), a company controlled by Mr. De Vreese, the Company’s Chairman, to obtain an option, exercisable through December 31, 2005, to license an international patent (excluding the US) and worldwide manufacturing and distribution rights for a potential new product which Lident had been assigned certain rights by the inventors of the products, who are unrelated parties, prior to Mr. De Vreese association with the Company. The patent is an Italian patent which relates to a single use universal applicator for dental pastes, salves, creams, powders, liquids and other substances where manual application could be relevant. The Company has filed to have the patent approved throughout Europe. The agreement required the Company to advance to the inventors through Lident a fully refundable deposit of €100,000 subject to the Company’s due diligence regarding the enforceability of the patent and marketability of the product, which, if viable, would be assigned to the Company for additional consideration to the inventors of €100,000 and an ongoing royalty from sales of products related to the patent equal to 3% of net sales and, if not viable, the deposit would be repaid in full by Lident. The consideration the Company had agreed to pay Lident upon the exercise of the option is the same as the consideration Lident is obligated to pay the original inventors. Consequently, Lident would not have profited from the exercise of the option. Furthermore, at a meeting of the Company’s Board of Directors on July 13, 2005, the Board accepted Lident’s offer to facilitate an assignment of Lident’s intellectual property rights to the technology to the Company in exchange for the reimbursement of Lident’s actual costs incurred relating to the intellectual property. Consequently, when the Company exercises the option, all future payments, other than the reimbursement of costs would be paid directly to the original inventors and not to Lident.
 
 
 
On December 12, 2005, the Company exercised the option and the Company and the patent holder agreed to revise the assignment agreement whereby the Company agreed to pay €50,000 additional compensation in the form of prepaid royalties instead of the €100,000 previously agreed, €25,000 of which had been paid by the Company in September 2005 and the remaining €25,000 to be paid upon the Company’s first shipment of a product covered by the patent. As of December 31, 2008 the Company has not yet received the final product. The patent is being amortized over five (5) years and accordingly, the Company has recorded $73,297 of accumulated amortization for this patent as of December 31, 2008.

14.
LINE OF CREDIT

On October 8, 2004, our wholly owned subsidiary, Remedent N.V., obtained a mixed-use line of credit facility with Fortis Bank, a Belgian bank, for €1,070,000 (the “Facility”). The Facility was secured by a first lien on the assets of Remedent N.V. The purpose of the Facility is to provide working capital to grow our business and to finance certain accounts receivable as necessary. Since opening the Facility in 2004, Remedent N.V. and Fortis Bank have subsequently amended the Facility several times to increase or decrease the line of credit. On May 3, 2005 the Facility was amended to decrease the line of credit to €1,050,000. On March 13, 2006 the Facility was amended to increase the mixed-use line of credit to €2,300,000, consisting of a €1,800,000 credit line based on the eligible accounts receivable and a €500,000 general line of credit. The latest amendment to the Facility, dated January 3, 2008, amended and decreased the mixed-use line of credit to €2,050,000, to be used by Remedent N.V. and/or Sylphar N.V. Each line of credit carries its own interest rates and fees as provided in the Facility. Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V. are currently only utilizing two lines of credit, advances based on account receivables and the straight loan. As of December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2008, Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V. had in aggregate, $907,558 and $779,718 in advances outstanding, respectively, under this mixed-use line of credit facility.

EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

The Board of Directors and stockholders approved the Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (the “2001 Plan”) and adopted it on May 29, 2001. The Company has reserved 250,000 shares of its common stock for issuance to the directors, employees and consultants under the Plan. The Plan is administered by the Board of Directors. Vesting terms of the options range from immediately to five years.
 
Pursuant to an Information Statement on Schedule 14C mailed on May 9, 2005 to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 1, 2005 and became effective June 3, 2005, the Company authorized the implementation of a 2004 Incentive and Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (“2004 Plan”) reserving 800,000 shares of common stock for issuance to employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any subsidiaries. This plan became effective as of June 3, 2005 after the Company had completed a one for twenty reverse split.
 
On August 17, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the Company’s 2004 Plan, the Company granted to an employee 100,000 options to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price of $1.50 per share. These options will vest over the next 3 years and are exercisable for a period of 5 years. The Company valued the foregoing options using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of 115%; risk free interest rate of 4.75% and an average life of 5 years resulting in a value of $1.24 per option granted. The value of these options will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the next three years and accordingly a value of $28,780 has been recorded in the year ended March 31, 2008.

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for employee stock-based compensation under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Under the recognition principles of APB No. 25, compensation expense related to restricted stock and performance units was recognized in the financial statements. However, APB No. 25 generally did not require the recognition of compensation expense for stock options because the exercise price of these instruments was generally equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant, and the related number of shares granted were fixed at that point in time.
 
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”. In addition to recognizing compensation expense related to restricted stock and performance units, SFAS No. 123(R) also requires recognition of compensation expense related to the estimated fair value of stock options. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation expense recognized subsequent to adoption includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the values estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair values estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). Consistent with the modified-prospective-transition method, the Company’s results of operations for prior periods have not been adjusted to reflect the adoption of FAS 123(R).

Overview

We design, develop, manufacture and distribute cosmetic dentistry products.  Leveraging our knowledge of regulatory requirements regarding dental products and management’s experience in the needs of the professional dental community, we have developed a line of professional veneers as well as a family of teeth whitening products for both professional and “Over-The-Counter” (“OTC”) use, that are distributed in Europe, Asia and the United States. We manufacture many of our products in our facility in Deurle, Belgium as well as outsourced manufacturing in China. We distribute our products using both our own internal sales force and through the use of third party distributors.  As a result of this approach, in just four years we have established dealers in 35 countries encompassing, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Pacific Rim and the Middle East.

In the fall of 2006, we launched a proprietary veneer technology product line called GlamSmile™.  GlamSmile veneers are ultra thin claddings made from a mixture of a hybrid composite and porcelain materials which are attached to the front of the patient’s teeth.  Because GlamSmile veneers are so thin, the dentist does not need to remove healthy tooth structure leaving the patient’s healthy tooth structure intact, which results in several important benefits: (i) no local anesthesia is required to prepare the teeth; (ii) reduced (if any) tooth sensitivity post-procedure; and (iii) the process is reversible.  In addition, in March 31, 2006, a variation of our MetaTray® product named iWhite® was introduced to our global retail distribution network.  We introduced MetaTray in August 2005, our next generation of products targeted for the professional dentist market.  MetaTray is a completely self-contained whitening system that can be administered by dentists.

As a result of the recent restructuring of the Company’s OTC business, the Company intends to focus solely on its full line of professional dental products for the professional market and its Glamsmile veneer product lines and continue to share an ownership interest in the OTC business.

For the quarter ending December 31, 2008, 96.48% of our revenue has been generated by our Belgian subsidiaries (Remedent N.V. and Sylphar N.V.); 1.15% by our U.S. entities and 2.37% by our Asian subsidiary.

Den-Mat Transaction

As previously disclosed on Form 10-Q for period ended September 30, 2008 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 19, 2008,  on August 24, 2008, we entered into a Distribution, License and Manufacturing Agreement with our wholly owned subsidiary, Remedent N.V., and Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Den-Mat”), whereby we appointed Den-Mat to be the sole and exclusive distributor to market, license and sell certain products relating to our GlamSmile tray technology, including, but not limited to, our GlamSmile veneer products and other related veneer products (the “Products”), throughout the world, with the exception of Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, France (including Dom-Tom), Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Switzerland, Thailand, and United Arab Emirates (collectively the “Excluded Markets”) and the China Market.

Further, as a condition to the Den-Mat transaction, on August 24, 2008, we entered into a Rescission Agreement with Glamtech-USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Glamtech”).  We had previously granted Glamtech the exclusive right to distribute our GlamSmile veneer products in the United States and Canada pursuant to an Exclusive Distribution Agreement, dated April 10, 2008, and in the United Kingdom pursuant to an Exclusive Distribution Agreement dated May 2008.  Concurrently, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with each of the two Glamtech shareholders (the “Holders”), for the purchase of all of Glamtech’s outstanding common stock in exchange for: (i) at the election of the Holders at any time within 6 months, to receive either, but not both, (a) an aggregate of one million (1,000,000) restricted shares of our common stock (the “Shares”), or (b) five (5) year warrants (the “Warrants”), valued by our Board of Directors at $1.48 per warrant, to purchase an aggregate of one million two hundred and forty-seven thousand two hundred and sixteen (1,247,216) restricted shares of our common stock at a exercise price of $1.30 per share (the “Warrant Shares”); and together with either the Shares or the Warrants, (ii) certain limited royalty payments allocated to sales in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom of the Products during the term of our Distribution Agreement with Den-Mat. As of December 31, 2008, the Shares were issued.
 

Restructuring Plan

On December 11, 2008, we completed a restructuring in the form of a  management-led buyout of 50% of our OTC retail business.  The buyout was led by Mr. List, our former director and Chief Executive Officer, with financing provided by Concordia Fund, B.V, a non-affiliated foreign investment fund (“Concordia”). Prior to the sale, our Board approved a restructuring plan and strategy for transferring our OTC business through a series of transactions involving subsidiary formations, contributions of subsidiary(ies) interests and sales of stock interests through subsidiary transactions, with particular emphasis focused on current OTC business operations conducted through our subsidiaries, both internationally and within the domestic U.S. (the “Plan”).

To effectuate the restructuring Plan we entered into the following series of related agreements:

·  
On December 10, 2008, Remedent, Inc. entered into a Contribution Agreement with Sylphar USA, Inc., a newly incorporated Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Remedent, Inc. (“Sylphar USA”), pursuant to which Remedent, Inc. made a capital contribution of certain assets and liabilities relating to the OTC business which was valued at $460,568 to Sylphar USA in exchange for 460,568 shares of common stock, par value $1.00, of Sylphar USA.

·  
On December 10, 2008, Remedent, Inc. entered into a Share Purchase Agreement with Remedent, N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Remedent, Inc. formed under the laws of Belgium (“Remedent N.V.”), pursuant to which Remedent, Inc. purchased a 99% ownership interest in Sylphar, N.V., a subsidiary of Remedent, Inc. formed under the laws of Belgium, from Remedent N.V.  As a result of such Purchase Agreement, Sylphar N.V. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Remedent, Inc. As consideration for the 99 shares (“Sylphar Shares”), Remedent, Inc. agreed to pay Remedent N.V.  €1,881,000, which was based on the valuations provided by an independent assessor, by executing an unsecured non-interest bearing promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) on behalf of Remedent N.V. for the principal amount of  €1,000,160 (the “Debt”) and having the remainder balance of €880,840 reflected on the existing intercompany account between Remedent N.V. and Remedent, Inc. In December 2008, we received €1,000,160 from Concordia which was used to repay the Debt.  As  previously agreed upon by Remedent N.V. and Remedent, Inc., the remaining balance of  €880,840 is  reflected on the existing intercompany account between Remedent N.V. and Remedent, Inc.

·  
Then pursuant to a Deed of Contribution, Remedent, Inc. transferred all of its ownership interest in its OTC operating subsidiaries, consisting of Sylphar USA, Remedent Asia PTE, Sylphar N.V. (“OTC Subsidiaries”), into Remedent OTC B.V., a Dutch holding company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Remedent, Inc. (“Remedent OTC”) in exchange for €1,000,160 and an allocation and administer the balance of the aggregate value of the OTC Subsidiaries and the consideration as share premium in the books of Remedent, Inc.
 
 

 
·  
Subsequent to the contribution of the OTC Subsidiaries to Remedent OTC, Remedent, Inc. sold fifty percent (50%) of its interest in Remedent OTC to Robin List, its  former Chief Executive Officer, President and Director, in exchange for 723,000 restricted shares of common stock of Remedent, Inc. held by Mr. List (“Exchanged Shares”), pursuant to a Share Purchase Agreement on December 10, 2008.  The Exchanged Shares were returned to treasury.  The Exchanged Shares were valued at $1.15 per share, based on the average of the 52 week high and low bid, for an aggregate value of $831,450.   As a result, Mr. List and Remedent, Inc. equally own 50% of Remedent OTC with Remedent, Inc. currently controlling Remedent OTC through its board representations pursuant to the terms of a certain Voting Agreement entered into by Remedent, Inc. and Mr. List concurrently with the Share Purchase Agreement.  The Voting Agreement provided that, Remedent, Inc. would initially have 2 board representation and Mr. List would will have 1 board representation.  However upon the occurrence of a “Triggering Event” (as defined in the Voting Agreement), Remedent, Inc. will have 1 board representation and Mr. List will have 2 board representations.

·  
On December 11, 2008, Remedent, Inc. entered into an Investment and Shareholders’ Agreement with Remedent OTC, Concordia Fund V.C., a non-affiliated Dutch private equity fund (“Concordia”), Mr. List, Sylphar Holding, B.V., a Dutch holding company and wholly owned subsidiary of Remedent OTC (“Sylphar Holding”) and the OTC Subsidiaries pursuant to which Concordia agreed to purchase shares of Sylphar Holding from Remedent OTC representing a 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €1,000,000 and invest an additional €1,000,000 in Sylphar Holding for an additional 12.5% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding, representing an aggregate ownership interest of 25% in Sylphar Holding. Furthermore, Concordia was granted a call option exercisable from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2010, unless otherwise extended to September 30, 2011 pursuant to the terms of such agreement, to purchase an additional 24% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding for €2,000,000 or any pro rata portion thereof.  The shares of Sylphar Holding are subject to certain drag along rights in the event there is an offer to purchase such shares. It was further agreed upon that the €1,000,000 received from Concordia would be used to pay off the Debt.  Such funds from Concordia were received and used to pay off the Debt in December 2008.

We believe that the total consideration for the sale of OTC business is approximately €4,654,736, which consists of (1) €1,000,000  in cash, (2)  €654,736  based on the exchange rate as of January 12, 2008 for the 723,000 restricted previously held by Mr. List (valued at $1.15 per share for an aggregate value of  $831,450), and (3) €3,000,000 which is the estimated value of the ownership interest of 50 % of the shares of Remedent OTC held by us.

As a result of the series of transactions related to the sale, we now own 50% of Remedent OTC with Mr. List owning the other 50%, and maintain control of Remedent OTC as a result of our current control of the board.  In addition, we now own  an  interest in Sylphar Holding through Remedent OTC’s 75% ownership interest in Sylphar Holding, which interest is subject to dilution of up to 24% upon exercise of a call option held by Concordia, who currently owns the remaining 25%.   As a result of the sale, all of the  OTC business previously directly operated by us is now operated and held by Sylphar Holding.  Although Mr. List resigned as our director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. List remains involved in the key management of the OTC business.
 

The sale is consistent with our strategic plan to separate the OTC business from our professional business. With the restructuring and additional cash received from the sale of the OTC business, we intend to focus solely on our full line of professional dental products for the professional market and our Glamsmile veneer product lines. In addition, although we do not operate the OTC business directly, as a result of our  50% ownership interest in Remedent OTC, we continue to share an ownership interest in the OTC business.

Our Critical Accounting Policies

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, intangible assets, income taxes, and contingencies and litigation, among others.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe 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. We believe that certain critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements: revenue recognition, inventory valuation, research and development costs, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets and conversion of foreign currencies.  These accounting policies are discussed in “ITEM 6 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION” contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008, as well as in the notes to the March 31, 2008 consolidated financial statements and the notes to the interim financial statements for subsequent periods.

Net Sales
 
Net sales increased for the three months ended December 31, 2008 by $2,709,678 or 127%, to $4,842,628 as compared to $2,132,950 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, the increase in sales is primarily due to the increased sales of the GlamSmile Product Group.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, sales increased by  $6,795,287 or 152.6% to $11,249,186 as compared to $4,453,899 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 primarily for the reasons discussed above for the three month period.
 
Cost of Sales
 
Cost of sales increased for the three months ended December 31, 2008 by $1,638,101, or 128.8% to $2,909,531 as compared to $1,271,430 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. However cost of sales, as a percentage of net sales, was approximately 60% in each of the three months ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008. Cost of sales has increased because of increased sales of higher margin products and improved cost efficiencies.

We have re-organized our production process and have increased our in-house manufacturing resulting in lower costs than our previously outsourced third party manufacturing. We continue to closely monitor and look for new strategies to optimize and improve our current processes in order to decrease our costs.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, cost of sales increased by $2,340,902 or 89.2% from $2,623,506 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 to $4,964,408 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008. This increase is directly associated with increased sales.  However, cost of sales as a percentage of net sales has decreased from 58.23% for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 to 44.13% for the nine month period ended December 31, 2008 primarily for the same reasons discussed above for the three month period.
 
Gross Profit
 
Our gross profit increased by $1,071,577 or 124.4%, to $1,933,097 for the three month period ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $861,520 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales was approximately 40% in each of the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. The increase in gross profit is the result of the increased sales of higher margin products and the decrease in cost of sales as discussed above.

Our gross profit increased by $4,454,385 or 243%, to $6,284,778 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $1,830,393 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. Our gross profit as a percentage of sales increased from 42% in the nine months ended December 31, 2007 to 56% for the nine months ended December 31, 2008.
 
Research and Development .
 
Research and development expenses decreased by $120,102 or 69.8%, to $52,006 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $172,108 for the three months ended December 31, 2007.
 
 
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, research and development expenses decreased by $23,286 or 9.4% to $224,379 as compared to $247,665 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.   The principal reason for this decrease is that the majority of investments in relation to the development of new products took place during 2007. The release of these new products is scheduled for the six months.
 
Sales and Marketing Costs
 
Sales and marketing costs increased by $301,278, or 49.3%, to $912,422 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to $611,144 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase is largely due to increased provisions for commissions in relation to our sales people and increased marketing costs to promote our products in new acquired markets in different countries.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, sales and marketing costs increased by $1,426,991 or 143.1% to $2,423,928 as compared to $996,937 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.   The principal reasons for increased sales and marketing costs are as discussed above.
 
General and Administrative Costs
 
General and administrative costs for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $1,268,500 and $1,087,313, respectively, representing an increase of $181,187 or 16.7%. The increase in general and administrative costs as compared to the prior year is the result of our investments made to increase customer support concurrent with the launch of our GlamSmile veneers product line in both Europe and the US.
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, general and administrative costs increased by $781,372, or 27%, to $3,672,536 as compared to $2,891,164 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The foregoing increase is the result of three month increase discussed above.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Our depreciation and amortization expense increased from $80,157 to $167,399 for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2007, an increase of 108.8%. The increase is mostly due to the investment in a semi-automatic production machine for the production of our foam strips, which will allow us to significantly increase our production capacity. This investment allowed us to streamline and improve production significantly with resultant increases in capacity and quality as well as decreased costs. Secondly, investments are being made in software and related hardware to bring the design of veneers to the next level which will allow the dentist to modify the design of the final product, gaining substantial time in the production process.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, depreciation and amortization costs increased $225,830 or 104.6% to $441,771 as compared to $215,941 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The foregoing increase is the result of three month increase discussed above.
 
Net Interest and Other Expenses
 
Net interest expense increased by $152,071 to $168,659 from $16,588 during the three months ended December 31, 2008 over the comparable three months ended December 31, 2007. The increase is mainly the result of our increased utilization of our bank credit facility.
 
 
 
For the nine months ended December 31, 2008, interest expense increased by $178,373 to $250,175 as compared to $71,802  for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The main reason is the increased use of our available bank credit facility which occurred primarily because of investments made in light of the new agreement with Den-Mat which was finalized effective August 24, 2008. The investments are in order to support increasing demand for our veneer product and are specifically related to inventory and a new production facility.
 
During the three months ended December 31, 2008 we granted 3,738,379 warrants to purchase our common stock to Den-Mat.  The Company valued the warrants at $4,323,207, using the Black Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: no dividend yield; expected volatility rate of 131%; risk free interest rate of 3.07% and an average life of 5 years resulting in a value of $1.28 per option granted.  This was a non-cash expense.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Our balance sheet at December 31, 2008 reflects cash and cash equivalents of $2,569,888 as compared to $1,728,281 as of March 31, 2008, an increase of $841,607.  Cash has increased significantly in the period ended December 31, 2008 largely as a result of cash received from Concordia in the amount of $2,782,000.

For the remainder of fiscal year 2009, we believe that, with our current cash and amounts to be received from our cash receivables,  we have sufficient working capital to satisfy our working capital requirements. We currently have a mixed-use line of credit of  €2,050,000.  As of December 31, 2008, we had in the aggregate $907,558 in advances outstanding under this mixed-use line of credit facility.  As it may be required, we intend to draw from our credit facility.

In addition, from time to time we may be required to raise capital to continue our current operations, reduce advances outstanding on our credit facilities, and to fund future growth.

Operations

Net cash used by operations decreased by $274,264 resulting in net cash being used by operations of $1,876,003 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to net cash used by operations of $2,150,267 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. The decrease in net cash used by operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2007 is attributable to several factors.  Net loss of $1,873,152 when offset by two significant non-cash items (1) the $4,323,207 value of the Den-Mat warrants; and (2) the $2,830,953 gain on the disposition of Sylphar, becomes a use of cash of $380,898.  The use of cash is further increased by an increase of (1) accounts receivable of $709,732 (versus a provision of cash for 2007 of $137,273); (2) inventories of $575,894 (versus a provision of cash of $4,043 for 2007); and (3) prepaids of $558,352 (versus a provision of cash for 2007 of $352,607.  Management has attributed the increased use of cash for accounts receivable, inventories and prepaids primarily somewhat to the slowdown in the general economy but primarily due to increased sales.

As of the date of this filing, there has been no indication of a trend of increased doubtful accounts or slower payments.  As a result, at this time, we do not anticipate increased reserves.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $455,694 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to net cash used in investing activities of $852,193 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007. Cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended December 31, 2008 was mainly for equipment to be used in the production process of veneers,  additional hardware equipment in relation to support our GlamSmile product line in combination with our new designed software, enabling the dentist to interfere in the production process, investments made for moldings concerning the GlamSmile product group and moldings for new OTC products.
 

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $2,954,967 for the nine months ended December 31, 2008 as compared to net cash provided in financing activities of $5,044,277 for the nine months ended December 31, 2007.Net cash provided from financing activities in the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 was higher than in the nine months ended December 31, 2008 primarily because of the $2,782,000 in net cash received on the sale of Sylphar N.V. and an increase in the use of the Company’s line of credit of $127,840.  There have been no changes to our line of credit as noted in Note 14 to the interim financial statements herein.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2008 we recognized an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $218,337 (2007 – $152,245) as a result of the effect of exchange rates between the Euro and the US Dollar.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2008, we did not have any transactions, obligations or relationships that could be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.


Not Applicable.


Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Change in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

To the best knowledge of management, there are no material legal proceedings pending against the Company.
