PART II — RULES 12b-25(b) AND (c)

If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate)

 

¨         (a)    The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;
   (b)    The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, Form 11-K, Form N-SAR or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof, will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and
   (c)    The accountant’s statement or other exhibit required by Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

The registrant announced on May 8, 2016 an investigation into violations of its policies and procedures and possible violations of law and regulation by the registrant’s former Chief Executive Officer, Alan Shortall, whose employment with the registrant ceased on March 11, 2016, and its former Chairman, Jim Bosnjak, who resigned from the registrant’s Board of Directors on August 24, 2015 (the “Investigation”). On July 28, 2016, the registrant announced in its Current Report on Form 8-K (the “July 28 8-K”) that the Investigation was substantially complete and summarized the results of the Investigation as of such date including, without limitation, that the Investigation had not identified any material financial loss to the registrant.

The Investigation is ongoing and has not identified any additional financial loss to the Company other than was already identified in the July 28 8-K. As a result, the registrant was unable to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) the registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended June 30, 2016 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed filing deadline, which delay could not be eliminated by the registrant without unreasonable effort and expense.

While the registrant continues to work expeditiously to file the Form 10-K as soon as practicable, the registrant does not anticipate filing the Form 10-K within the fifteen calendar day period set forth in Rule 12b-25(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The registrant expects to file the Form 10-K prior to November 7, 2016, which date represents the last day of the extension period granted to the registrant by the Listing Qualifications department of The Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) in order to regain compliance with NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements. The registrant is required to file audited financial statements with the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) no later than September 30, 2016. In the event the registrant would fail to meet such


requirement, trading in the registrant’s CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”) on the ASX would likely be suspended immediately prior to opening of trading on ASX on October 3, 2016 in Australia and as a result, trading of the registrant’s common stock on NASDAQ would be halted, in each case until the registrant files its audited financial statements with ASX.

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1)    Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification
   David C. Hastings    717    384-3400
   (Name)    (Area Code)    (Telephone Number)
(2)   

Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s).     ¨   Yes     x   No

 

Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016.

(3)   

Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?     x   Yes     ¨   No

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

  

The registrant has been evaluating the prospects of its non-wearable injector customer and supplier programs. As a result of negotiations related to those supplier and customer programs and the registrant’s evaluation of those programs and potential disposition of certain assets, the registrant’s board of directors concluded on September 1, 2016 that the registrant will have a material charge for impairment to certain of its long lived-assets. The registrant is also evaluating goodwill for impairment. Such impairment charges would be non-cash in nature. The registrant also expects to incur charges that could impact cash related to certain supplier contract terminations, which may be material. The foregoing information was disclosed in the registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 8, 2016.

 

The registrant expects these charges to result in a significant change in its results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 as compared to its results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. Because of the ongoing nature of the negotiations referred to above, at this time, the registrant continues to be unable in good faith to make a reasonable estimate of the amount of the impairment charges referred to above. In addition to these impairment charges, as of the date hereof, the registrant continues to evaluate deferred revenue and other elements of operating results, the completion of which evaluation could also significantly affect operating results. Please note that the per share amounts in the results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015 will be adjusted in future filings with the SEC to reflect the reverse split of registrant’s common stock effected on May 13, 2016, pursuant to which every ten (10) shares of common stock outstanding before the reverse split were converted into one (1) share of common stock after the reverse split.
