Introduction
Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc. (PFI), a Delaware corporation, is a publicly-traded private label manufacturer and distributor of nonprescription (sometimes called "over-the-counter" or "OTC") solid dose pharmaceutical products (which are referred to in this report as "generic OTC products") in the United States. Such products, which are made in tablet, caplet or capsule form are primarily sold under our customers' store brands or other private labels, manufactured under contract for national brand pharmaceutical companies or sold in bulk to others who repackage them for sale to small, typically independent, retailers and to other manufacturers who do not have government approval to manufacture certain formulas such as ibuprofen. We also sell and market a line of antifungal aerosols. To a limited extent, we also sell generic OTC products under our own brand names, including Health+Cross® and Health Pharm ®, which sales account for less than 1% of our total revenues.
We believe that the therapeutic benefits of our generic OTC products are comparable to those of equivalent national brand name products because the chemical compositions of the active ingredients of the brand name products on which our products are patterned are identical to those of our products. We are subject to regulation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Our largest customers include Dollar General Stores, Costco Wholesale (Costco), K-Mart (K-Mart) and CVS Corp. (CVS), which in May 1997 merged with Revco D.S., Inc. (Revco).
Certain Relationships with ICC
In September 1991, we entered into an agreement with ICC Industries, Inc. (ICC) pursuant to which ICC was granted a series of options and related preemptive rights to acquire a total of approximately 66.7% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. ICC is a major international manufacturer and marketer of chemical, plastic and pharmaceutical products which had calendar 2000 sales in excess of $1.6 billion. ICC and its subsidiaries have offices in key business centers around the world and own numerous manufacturing plants. ICC has exercised all of its options and certain of the related preemptive rights and currently owns an aggregate of 19,635,894 shares of common stock, representing approximately 64.7% of our outstanding common stock. In fiscal 1996, we sold 2,500,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock to ICC. The preferred stock is currently convertible into common stock at the option of ICC on three months notice to the Company. Each share of preferred stock is convertible to such number of shares of common stock as equals the then-current liquidation preference for such shares of preferred stock (currently $1.00) divided by the lower of the current market price for the common stock (as defined) at the conversion date (as defined) or $2.00 per share (subject to certain antidilution adjustments). (The current market price is defined as the average of the daily market prices (as defined) for the common stock for 30 consecutive trading days commencing 45 days prior to the conversion date, which is the third monthly anniversary date of the date of notice of conversion). On June 25, 2001 ICC gave notice to the Company of its intent to convert its preferred stock and unpaid dividends to common stock. With the applicable current market price equal to the average of the high and low asked price for the common stock on the third month anniversary of the notice of conversion (i.e. September 21, 2001) of $.075, the 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock would convert into 33,333,333 shares of common stock. After such conversion ICC would then own 66,969,227 shares of common stock, which would be 86.2% of the outstanding common stock. On September 18, 2001, PFI asked for and ICC has agreed to a 60 day delay. At this time there are not enough authorized but unissued shares to effect such a conversion. We currently intend to seek stockholder approval at the next annual meeting to an increase in the number of authorized shares. If the market price for the common stock is greater than $0.75 per share at the conversion date, ICC would own fewer shares, and if the market price is less than $0.75 per share ICC would own more shares, after any such conversion.
In addition, the Company purchases certain raw materials from ICC and previously leased equipment from ICC, and its affiliates. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." On April 1, 1999, ICC provided a term loan of $3,000,000, which was increased to $7,752,000 on July 1, 2000 and further increased to $11,837,000 on September 30, 2000 and $16,404,000 on December 31, 2000. It also provided a guarantee of $2,000,000 in advances under a line of credit and $4,000,000 under a term loan from two lending institutions. The term loan is secured by a subordinated pledge of all the assets behind other secured indebtedness of the Company and is repayable in 12 monthly installments of $100,000 each commencing in February 2002 with the balance due in February 2003.
Products
Currently, we market more than 80 different types of generic OTC products (including different dosage strengths of the same chemical composition). These include analgesics (such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen and naproxen sodium), cough-cold preparations, sinus/allergy products and gastrointestinal relief products. Sales of ibuprofen accounted for 26% in fiscal 2001, 36% in fiscal 2000 and 34% in fiscal 1999 of our total revenues.
Generic pharmaceutical products are drugs which are sold under chemical names rather than brand names and possess chemical compositions (and, we believe, therapeutic benefits), equivalent to the brand name drugs on which they are patterned. OTC drugs are drugs which can be obtained without a physician's prescription. Generic drug products are subject to the same governmental standards for safety and efficacy (effectiveness) as their brand name equivalents and are typically sold at prices substantially below the brand name drug. We manufacture generic OTC products which we believe are chemically and therapeutically equivalent to such brand name products as Advil®, Aleve®, Anacin®, Tylenol®, Bufferin®, Ecotrin®, Motrin®, Excedrin®, Sominex®, Sudafed®, Comtrex®, Sinutab®, Dramamine®, Actifed®, Benadryl®, Allerest® and Tagamet® HB, among other products.1
_________________
1 | Such brand names, and other brand names mentioned in this report, are registered marks of companies unrelated to PFI, unless otherwise noted. |
In November 1997 we entered into a joint venture with APG, Inc., through Healthcare Industries, LLC (formerly PFI LLC), a limited liability company owned in equal portions by APG, Inc. and the Company, to develop, manufacture and market certain healthcare products. APG, Inc. is the second largest privately-owned contract packager of aerosol products in the United States. The primary product marketed by this joint venture was a line of anti-fungal aerosols, which were first sold in July 1998.
Manufacturing
In order to manufacture generic OTC products, we acquire raw materials from suppliers located in the United States and abroad, including ICC, an affiliate of the Company. During fiscal 2001, we purchased $2,163,000 of raw materials from ICC.
To date, we have obtained the raw materials we need and expect that such raw materials will continue to be readily available in the future. Our raw materials are first placed in quarantine so that samples of each lot can be assayed for purity and potency by a team of our trained chemists and technicians. Incoming materials are tested to assure that they are free of objectionable microorganisms and that they meet chemical and physical testing requirements. Throughout the manufacturing process, samples are taken by quality assurance inspectors for quality control testing. The raw materials must meet standards established by the United States Pharmacopoeia, the National Formulary and the FDA, as well as by us and our customers.
To produce capsules and tablets, we utilize specialized equipment which compresses tablets and fills powder and granules into hard gelatin capsules. At this stage, certain tablets are film or sugar coated to achieve an aesthetically appealing tablet. The customer chooses whether its order of generic OTC products will be delivered in bulk containers or in packages. Typically, we assist our customers in developing the size, design and graphics of the folding carton, label and container for the products. The package can be automatically placed into shipping containers of the customer's selection.
In response to drug tampering problems affecting the industry generally, we have instituted certain tamper-evident features in our packaging operation. A tamper-evident package is one which readily reveals any violation of the packaging or possible contamination of the product. These include a foil inner-seal which is electronically sealed after the capping operation and, for some customers, a neck band or outer safety seal applied to the bottle and cap as an additional tamper-evident feature. In addition, we manufacture a banded capsule which contains a gelatin band in the center to deter ease of opening and/or closing the capsule product. Although we take steps to make our products tamper-resistant, we believe that no product is "tamper-proof." There can be no assurance that our products will not be tampered with. Any such tampering, even if it occurs in the retail outlets, may have a material adverse effect on our business. See "Insurance."
Customers
Our customers consist of over 50 retailers (including major national and regional drug, supermarket and mass-merchandise chains), wholesalers, club stores, distributors and brand-name pharmaceutical companies. Sales to our various categories of customers in fiscal 2001, 2000 and 1999 by percentage of total sales were as follows:
Percentage of Sales ------------------------- Category 2001 2000 1999 -------- ---- ---- ---- Retail drug and supermarket chains and mass 86% 89% 93% merchandisers Wholesalers and distributors (in bulk) 8% 8% 5% Brand-name pharmaceutical companies 6% 3% 2%
Virtually all of these sales consisted of products which our customers sell under their own store brand or other labels.
Sales to customers which represented more than 10% of sales in any one or more of the years 2001, 2000 and 1999 were as follows:
Sales ($ and percentage of total sales) ----------------------------------------------------- Customer 2001 2000 1999 -------- ---- ---- ---- Costco $ 6,692,000 (13%) $13,778,000 (17%) $12,522,000 (14%) Walgreens $ 2,461,000 ( 5%) $10,037,000 (12%) $15,412,000 (17%) CVS $ 6,566,000 (13%) $ 7,458,000 (9%) $ 7,903,000 (9%)
Other retail customers include American Stores, a grocery chain; BJ Wholesale Club, a warehouse discounter; Dollar General, a discount chain; Drug Mart, a drug store chain; Eckerd, a drug store chain; Family Dollar, a discount chain; Fleming Cos., a food wholesaler; H.E. Butt, a food chain; Kmart, a mass merchandise chain; Rite Aid, a drug store chain; Save-A-Lot, a discount chain; Food Lion/Hannaford, a food chain; Wakefern/Shoprite, a grocery store co-op; Wal-Mart, a mass merchandise chain; and Winn-Dixie, a grocery store chain.
The amounts of backlog orders at the end of fiscal 2001 and 2000 were not significant. International sales are not significant at this time.
Sales and Marketing
We have 15 employees in sales and customer service. This staff and over 14 independent brokers sell our generic OTC pharmaceutical products and our marketing services to current and potential customers. There are account teams servicing different geographic areas of the U.S., each headed by a sales director. A team is assigned to each retail customer, to focus on servicing that customer and making recommendations to help build retail store brand business.
Governmental Regulation
Pharmaceutical companies are subject to extensive regulation by the Federal government, primarily by the FDA, under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substance Act and other federal statutes and regulations. These regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, approval, pricing, advertising and promotion of our drug products. Failure to comply with FDA and other governmental requirements can result in a variety of adverse regulatory actions, including but not limited to the seizure of company products, demand for a product recall, total or partial suspension of manufacturing/production, refusal by FDA to approve new products, and withdrawal of existing product approvals.
The FDA requires all new pharmaceutical products to be proven safe and effective before they may be commercially distributed in the United States. In order to prove the safety and efficacy of most new pharmaceutical products, pharmaceutical companies are often required to conduct extensive preclinical (animal) and clinical (human) testing. Such testing is extensively regulated by the FDA.
Most prescription drug products obtain FDA marketing approval via either the "new drug application" (NDA) process or the "abbreviated new drug application" (ANDA) process. An NDA is submitted to the FDA in order to prove that a drug product is safe and effective. NDAs typically contain data developed from extensive clinical studies. The filing of an NDA with the FDA provides no assurance that the FDA will approve the applicable drug product for marketing.
Generic drug products are capable of being approved for marketing by the FDA via the ANDA process. An ANDA is submitted to the FDA in order to demonstrate that a drug product is "bioequivalent" to a drug product that has already been approved by the FDA for safety and effectiveness (i.e. an "innovator" drug product). Unlike an NDA, an ANDA is not required to contain evidence of safety and effectiveness. Instead, ANDAs for orally administered dosage forms typically contain "bioavailability" studies to demonstrate "bio-equivalence." FDA approvals of ANDAs generally take 18 to 24 months to obtain. As with NDAs, the filing of an ANDA with the FDA provides no assurance that the FDA will approve the applicable drug product for marketing.
The current regulatory framework that governs generic drug approvals via the ANDA process was enacted in 1984 and is commonly known as the "Waxman-Hatch Act." Under the Waxman-Hatch Act, companies are permitted to conduct studies required for regulatory approval notwithstanding the existence of patent protection relevant to the substance or product under investigation. Thus, "bioavailability" studies for a generic drug product may be conducted regardless of whether the related "innovator" product has patent protection.
A company generally may file an ANDA application with the FDA at any point in time. There are certain exceptions, however, such as when an "innovator's" drug product was granted five years of "marketing exclusivity" under the Waxman-Hatch Act. In such case, the ANDA application may not be filed with FDA until the five years of "marketing exclusivity" have expired. Such prohibition on filing does not apply, however, if the period of marketing exclusivity is three years.
When an ANDA application is filed, the FDA may immediately review the application regardless of whether the "innovator's" product has patent protection or is subject to "marketing exclusivity." The FDA's ANDA approval, however, is conditional and does not become effective until the expiration of any applicable patent or "marketing exclusivity" periods. After the expiration of these periods, a generic product that has received conditional ANDA approval may be marketed immediately.
Some drug products that are intended for over-the-counter marketing require NDA or ANDA approval. Most OTC drug products, however, may be commercially distributed without obtaining FDA approval of an NDA or ANDA application. The FDA established the OTC Drug Review in the early 1970's, which led to the creation of OTC drug monographs that indicate whether certain drug ingredients are safe and effective for specific intended uses. Final OTC drug monographs have the force of law. Products that conform with the requirements of a final OTC drug monograph do not require NDA or ANDA approval, whereas OTC products not covered by a monograph must be approved via an NDA or ANDA.
Many OTC drug monographs have not yet been finalized. The FDA, however, generally permits the marketing of OTC drug products that conform to the proposed requirements of a non-final monograph. The FDA also permits the marketing of OTC products that do not conform to a non-final monograph subject to certain limitations. Normally, such products may be marketed, pending the effective date of the applicable final OTC drug monograph, if they are substantially similar to OTC drug products that were marketed OTC in the United States prior to December 4, 1975.
If the final drug monographs require us to expend substantial sums to maintain FDA compliance, we could be materially adversely affected. In the past, our generic OTC products (with the exception of ibuprofen) have not required approval of NDAs or ANDAs. Certain products which we recently introduced or are under development, however, require such approvals. The FDA has approved ANDAs in 200 mg., 300 mg., 400 mg., 600 mg. and 800 mg. dosage strengths for our ibuprofen product (although, at present, we sell our ibuprofen products in the 200 mg. strength only). We have also obtained FDA approval of certain different colors and shapes for our 200 mg. ibuprofen product. Our naproxen sodium product received ANDA approval in fiscal 1997 and our cimetidine product received ANDA approval in fiscal 1998. In addition, we received ANDA approval for an ibuprofen capsule in July 1998.
All drug products, whether prescription or OTC, are required to be manufactured and processed in compliance with the FDA's "good manufacturing practices" (GMPs). GMPs are "umbrella" regulations that prescribe, in general terms, the methods to be used for the manufacture, packing, processing and storage of drug products to ensure that such products are safe and effective. Examples of GMP regulatory requirements include record-keeping requirements and mandatory testing of in-process materials and components. FDA inspectors determine whether a company is in compliance with GMPs. Failure to comply with GMPs may render a drug "adulterated" and could subject the company to adverse regulatory actions.
The FDA regulates many other aspects of pharmaceutical product development and marketing, including but not limited to product labeling and, for prescription drug products, product advertising. The Federal Trade Commission is the primary Federal agency responsible for regulating OTC drug product advertising.
In addition to Federal regulation, pharmaceutical companies are subject to state regulatory requirements, which may differ from one state to another.
We believe that we are currently in compliance with FDA regulations. However, in anticipation of more stringent and extensive requirements by FDA, we undertook a major renovation and upgrade of our manufacturing plant. We believe that these improvements, which were substantially completed in 1996 at a cost of approximately $4,500,000, will help to satisfy both present and future FDA regulations and guidelines as well as facilitate our ability to produce state-of-the-art products for our customers.
Federal and/or state legislation and regulations concerning various aspects of the health care industry are under almost constant review and we are unable to predict, at this time, the likelihood of passage of additional legislation, nor can we predict the extent to which we may be affected by legislative and regulatory developments concerning our products and the health care field generally.
Environmental Matters
The prior owner of our Edison, New Jersey manufacturing facility, Revco, conducted a soil and groundwater cleanup of such facility, under the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act (ISRA), as administered by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP). NJDEP determined that the soil remediation was complete and approved the groundwater remediation plan, subject to certain conditions. Revco began operating a groundwater remediation treatment system in 1995. Although CVS (as the successor to Revco) is primarily responsible for the entire cost of the cleanup, we guaranteed the cleanup. In addition, we agreed to indemnify the owner of the facility under the terms of the 1989 sale lease-back. If CVS defaults in its obligations to pay the cost of the clean-up, and such costs exceed the amount of the bond posted by Revco, we may be required to make payment for any cleanup. The likelihood of CVS being unable to satisfy any claims which may be made against it in connection with the facility, however, are remote in our opinion. Accordingly, we believe that we will not have to bear any costs associated with remediation of the facility and we will not need to make any material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities.
Research and Development; New Products and Products in Development
We are engaged in a research and development program which seeks to develop and gain regulatory approval of products which are comparable to national brand products under the FDA OTC Drug Monograph process or the ANDA process. We are also engaged in R&D efforts related to certain prescription (sometimes referred to as ethical) products and are exploring potential acquisition candidates or joint ventures to facilitate entry into other drug categories.
We maintain an experienced staff of five employees in our product development department, as well as other support staff to assist our customers. Our research and development activities are primarily related to the determination of the formula and specifications of the products desired by customers, as well as the potency, dosage, flavor, quality, efficacy, color, hardness, form (i.e. tablet, caplet or capsule) and packaging of such products, as well as costs related to new products in development including costs associated with regulatory approvals. Our research and development expenditures were $443,000 in fiscal 2001, $537,000 in fiscal 2000 and $667,000 in fiscal 1999. The rate of R&D expenditures fluctuates significantly from year to year depending primarily on what branded products are coming off patent in the near future and whether or not such products are appropriate for development by us. Expenditures in one year are not necessarily indicative of expenditures in future years. We expect to spend in fiscal 2002 between $500,000 and $1,000,000 on research and development activities consistent with our goal of continually increasing and improving our product line.
Patents and Trademarks
Allerfed®, Leg Ease®, Health+Cross® and Health Pharm® are federally registered trademarks owned by us. To the extent that our packaging and labeling of generic OTC products may be considered similar to the brand name products to which they are comparable, and to the extent that a court may determine that such similarity may constitute confusion over the source of the product, we may be subject to legal actions under state and Federal statutes and case law to enjoin the use of the packaging and for damages.
Insurance
We may be subject to product liability claims by persons damaged by the use of our products. We maintain product liability insurance for our generic OTC products covering up to $10,000,000. Although there have been no material product liability claims made against us to date, there can be no assurance that such coverage will adequately cover any claims which may be made or that such insurance will not significantly increase in cost or become unavailable in the future. The inability to maintain necessary product liability insurance would significantly restrict our ability to sell any products and could result in a cessation of our business.
Competition
We compete not only with numerous manufacturers of generic OTC products, but also with brand name drug manufacturers, most of which are well known to the public. In addition, our products compete with a wide range of products, including well-known name brand products, almost all of which are manufactured or distributed by major pharmaceutical companies. Some of our competitors, including all of the manufacturers and distributors of brand name drugs, have greater financial and other resources than we have, and are therefore able to expend more effort than we do in areas such as product development and marketing. The crucial competitive factors are price, product quality, customer service and marketing. Although we believe that our present equipment and facilities render our operations competitive as to price and quality, many competitors may have far greater resources than we have, which may enable them to perform high quality services at lower prices than the services performed by the Company. Additionally, some of our customers may acquire the same equipment and technology used by us and perform for themselves the services which we now perform for them.
Employees
As of June 30, 2001, we employed approximately 344 full-time employees. Of such employees, approximately 253 are engaged in manufacturing and operational activities and approximately 217 are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the Company and Local 522 affiliated with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters of New Jersey, which expires in October 2001. Additionally, three employees are represented by Local 68 of the International Union of Operating Engineers, affiliated with the AFL-CIO. We had 15 persons employed in sales, customer service and graphic arts, 28 administrative and 48 laboratory technicians and scientists. We believe that our relations with our employees are satisfactory.
Operational Plan
The Company's revenues continued to be effected by the deteriorated customer relationships resulting in part from the Company's computer and system's conversion and product delivery problems which occurred in fiscal 1999.
The Company is addressing customer relationship issues and has begun the process of rebuilding its sales base through the initiatives detailed below. On a quarter to quarter comparison, sales have grown for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 for the first time in six quarters since the quarter ended January 1, 2000. Furthermore, sales for the quarter ended September 29, 2001 (the first quarter of the fiscal year ending June 29, 2002) are projected to increase from the previous quarter. The Company has begun implementing its plan to increase revenues and improve operational efficiencies to restore profitability. As part of these initiatives, the Company has undertaken the following:
| Expanding custom manufacturing for some major pharmaceutical companies. Purchase orders have been received subsequent to June 30, 2001, which indicates this portion of the business should increase from its current levels. |
| Eliminating several unprofitable product lines consisting mainly of items purchased from third parties and repackaged end products for smaller customers. The Company continues to evaluate product line and customer profitability. |
| Increasing its business supplying other manufacturers with bulk tablets and capsules, taking advantage of higher volumes and better margins. |
| Exploring opportunities to expand its product line through joint venture marketing agreements. |
| Exploring opportunities to expand its international sales. |
These objectives, along with sustaining market share and increasing sales are projected to be driven by the following:
| Re-establishing strong relationships within the Company's distribution network. |
| Controlling and reducing, where appropriate, fixed and variable expenses. |
| Eliminating unprofitable product lines and customers. |
| Managing inventory levels more efficiently. |
| Improving manufacturing efficiencies. |
| Shortening delivery time. |
| Filing ANDAs for new products as they come to the OTC Market. |
| Obtaining marketing rights for products produced by other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers. |
The Company believes that cash flow from operations, together with revolving credit and equipment and term loan financing plus continued financial support from ICC will be sufficient to fund the Company's currently anticipated working capital, capital spending and debt service requirements during the 2002 fiscal year. The Company's revolving credit facility with a lending institution has been extended through December 31, 2001 and ICC continues to provide additional financial support. While no assurance can be given that any further extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing can be successfully accomplished, ICC has committed to provide the Company with the necessary financing to continue its operations through December 31, 2002.
Item 2. Properties
We lease approximately 214,000 square feet of office, manufacturing and warehousing space in Edison, New Jersey, under a lease which expires in 2004 with two five-year renewal options. The monthly rental is currently $159,136 per month and will increase on each 30th month after February 1997 by a cost of living increase. The rental during each of the renewal options, if any, will be the higher of the "fair rental value" (as that term is defined in the lease) of the premises at the commencement of each renewal option or the rent in effect at the end of the lease. In addition, we are obligated to pay all utilities, real estate taxes, assessments, repairs, improvements, maintenance costs and expenses in connection with the premises, comply with certain environmental obligations and maintain certain minimum insurance protection.
In March 1995, we entered into a ten-year lease for a 91,200 square foot building located adjacent to our present manufacturing facility. We have two additional five-year renewal options. Rent payments are $26,600 per month for the first five years and $28,500 per month for the balance of the initial ten-year term. In addition, we are obligated to pay all utilities, real estate taxes, assessments, repairs, improvements, maintenance costs and expenses in connection with the premises, comply with certain environmental obligations and maintain certain minimum insurance protection.
We believe that both of these facilities provide the potential for increased expansion of manufacturing capacity, if necessary.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Claims Related to Max Tesler. In July 1997, the Company received an arbitration demand from the estate of Dr. Max Tesler, a former President of the Company, who died in 1996. For breaches of employment and other agreements between the Company and Dr. Tesler, the estate claimed an award of compensatory damages, punitive damages, a certain number of shares of common stock of the Company and attorneys' fees. The Company also brought counterclaims against the estate.
In March 2000, the American Arbitration Association panel in New York awarded amounts to both the estate of Dr. Tesler and the Company. The arbitration panel awarded the Tesler estate the amount of Tesler's salary for approximately two years, which salary amount had been accrued in 1995. The arbitration panel also awarded the estate a portion of its legal fees. The award dismissed all other of the estate's claims and also ruled in favor of the Company on certain of its counterclaims. The net result of the arbitrators' award is that the Company paid the Tesler estate approximately $45,000 plus $75,000 of the estate's legal fees. The accrual recorded by the Company in 1995 more than offset the amount paid to the estate. The final outcome did not have a material effect upon the Company's financial position, liquidity or operating results.
In May 1998, the Company brought an action against one of its former outside corporate counsels arising out of matters related to Dr. Tesler seeking damages for conflict of interest, breaches of fiduciary duty and loyalty, negligence and malpractice during its representation of the Company. The action is still pending.
Apotex Corporation and Torpharm v. PFI. In July 2000, an action was instituted in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois County Department, Chancery Division, against us by Apotex Corporation and Torpharm Inc. seeking an unspecified amount in damages and specific performance in the nature of purchasing a certain product from Apotex. The complaint alleges that PFI agreed to purchase a certain product exclusively from Apotex. The counts specified in the complaint include breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of implied covenant to use best efforts, specific performance, breach of fiduciary duty, reformation and a UCC action for the price of 3 million tablets. Management believes the lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending against it.
The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the normal conduct of business. Management believes that the final outcome of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company's financial position or results of operations.

PART II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Stock and Related Security Holder Matters
Our common stock is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and was traded on the over-the-counter market (OTC Bulletin Boardsm, Pink Sheets(tm) symbol: PHFR) until November 20, 2000. Effective November 20, 2000 the Company's common stock ceased to be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. While there may be isolated sales of the stock, there are no regular published quotations at this time. The Company is seeking to have one or more market makers reapply to have the stock quoted. There can be no assurance that the stock will be quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or on any other issuer listing service, market or exchange. Trading on the OTC Bulletin Board has been limited. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will ever develop for the common stock. As of June 30, 2001, there were 1,485 holders of record of the common stock. The following table sets forth the range of high and low closing bid quotations for the common stock as reported by Pink Sheets LLC through June 30, 2001. These quotations represent prices between dealers, without adjustments for retail mark-ups, mark-downs or other fees or commissions, and may not represent actual transactions.

We have never paid dividends on our common stock. We anticipate that for the foreseeable future any earnings will be retained for use in our business or for other corporate purposes, and we do not anticipate that cash dividends will be paid. Furthermore, the agreement with our institutional lender prohibits the payment of dividends without the lender's consent. Also, any dividends must first be paid on preferred stock, to the extent in arrears, prior to payment of any common stock dividend.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data
The selected consolidated financial data presented below for each of the five-years in the period ended June 30, 2001 are derived from the consolidated financial statements of the Company which financial statements have been audited by BDO Seidman, LLP, independent certified public accountants, whose report for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 appears elsewhere herein. During 1999 the Company changed its fiscal year end from June 30 to a 52-53 week period ended on the last Saturday closest to June 30. The selected consolidated financial data should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included elsewhere in this report.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Financial Condition at June 30, 2001
The net decrease in cash used during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 was $47,000.
Total funds used in operating activities were $3,565,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001. This amount was attributable to the loss of $14,592,000, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $849,000 and an increase in other current assets of $377,000, offset by non-cash items of $3,480,000, a decrease in accounts receivable of $4,913,000 and a decrease in inventories of $3,860,000.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 was $63,000, attributable to a decrease in other assets (sale of some fixed equipment) off set by an increase in capital expenditures.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 was $3,455,000, which was used primarily to support the operating needs of the Company. The Company refinanced certain of its capital equipment, generating net proceeds of $2,142,000, and received additional proceeds from debt borrowings, net of repayments of $1,313,000.
Current assets at June 30, 2001 include $7,034,000 of accounts receivable as compared to $11,947,000 at July 1, 2000. The accounts receivable decrease of $4,913,000 is primarily a result of improved collections and a decrease in sales. Current assets also include $10,950,000 of inventory as compared to $14,810,000 at July 1, 2000. The decrease is related to the improved management of physical quantities and reduced sales volume. Current liabilities also include $13,709,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses as compared to $17,192,000 at July 1, 2000. The decrease is primarily due to payment of accounts payable and the effects of reduced purchases.
On August 7, 1998, the Company modified its line of credit and equipment term loan with its financial institution. The maximum amount of the line of credit and term loan is $25,000,000. At June 30, 2001, borrowings were $8,917,000. Borrowings under the modified agreement, which expired August 7, 2001, bore interest at the prime rate less 3/4%. Such borrowing rate was increased by 2% effective April 1, 1999. In addition, on May 19, 2000 the line was further increased up to $2,500,000 over eligible receivables and inventories, as defined, up to the contractual limit. Such increase was guaranteed by ICC. In August 2001, the line of credit agreement was modified and extended through December 31, 2001. The borrowing rate was increased to prime + 2% (8.75% at June 30, 2001) and the maximum credit limit was reduced to $10 million. ICC has partially guaranteed this modification and extension. In addition, the Company has convertible subordinated debentures and capitalized lease obligations, which together with the line of credit borrowings have a substantial impact on the working capital requirements in terms of principal and interest payments.
The Company has outstanding 2,500,000 shares of Series A cumulative redeemable convertible preferred stock sold to ICC. Dividends from the date of issue (April 8, 1996) through June 30, 2001 totaling $1,050,000 have accumulated and are in arrears. There is no obligation or intention to pay dividends currently on the preferred stock. Dividends will continue to accrue at the rate of $200,000 per year until declared and paid or converted. On July 1, 2000 the Company entered into a loan agreement with ICC for $7,752,000 with interest at 1% above the prime rate (7.75% at June 30, 2001) which loan was increased to $11,837,000 on September 30, 2000 and further increased to $16,404,000 on December 31, 2001 with interest at 1% above the prime rate (7.75% at June 30, 2001).
The Company has a deferred tax asset of $11,266,000, before the valuation allowance at June 30, 2001, which consists of future tax benefits of net operating loss carry forwards and various other temporary differences. Based on the assessment of all available evidence including the loss for fiscal 2001, its inconsistent operating results in prior years, the current status of the Company's business and the uncertainty with respect to generating taxable income in future years, management has recorded a valuation allowance on the total of the deferred tax assets.
The Company intends to spend an estimated $500,000 to $1,000,000 on capital improvements in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2002 to increase manufacturing capacity and reduce costs. The Company anticipates that these capital expenditures will be funded through equipment lease financing and working capital. While the Company has in the past had no difficulty in obtaining such financing, there can be no assurance the Company will obtain the equipment lease financing in the future.
ICC has supported the Company by the provision of loans, replacing loans from its asset-based lenders, and providing the Company with working capital.
The Company continues its initiatives to improve operational efficiencies to restore profitability. As part of these efforts, the Company has taken the following initiatives:
| During calendar year 2000, the Company initiated major restructuring in its management team, culminating in the appointment of James Ingram as President of the Company as of October 9, 2000. |
| In December 2000, certain assets were refinanced, providing an additional infusion of cash to improve operations, provide additional working capital and support new product launches. The refinancing was done with the support of the Company's principal stockholder, ICC Industries Inc., which has agreed to continue to provide ongoing financial support to the Company where necessary and provided a $4 million guarantee in connection with a new capital lease. |
| Within its sales, general and administrative expenses, the Company incurred in excess of $1 million in non-recurring charges related to changes in conjunction with the ongoing initiatives. |
| A new operational and financial restructuring plan has been formulated to cover fiscal 2002. |
The Company believes that cash flow from its revolving credit and equipment and term loan financing, plus continued financial support from ICC, will be sufficient to fund the Company's currently anticipated working capital, capital spending and debt service requirements through June 30, 2002. The company has extended its working capital facility through December 31, 2001. It expects the aforementioned working capital needs will require it to obtain new revolving credit facilities by December 31, 2001, when the credit facility matures, whether by extending, renewing, replacing or otherwise refinancing the facility. While no assurance can be given that any such extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing can be successfully accomplished, ICC has committed to provide the Company with the necessary financing to continue its operations through calendar 2002.
Results of Operations for Fiscal 2001 Compared to Fiscal 2000
Gross sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 were $51,777,000 as compared to $82,869,000 in the prior fiscal year. A substantial portion of the decrease of $31,092,000 or 38% resulted from lost business and customers due to the after effects of production and shipping problems and other difficulties experienced by the Company during the installation of the new computer system in fiscal 1999. Sales to two customers, Walgreen Company and Costco Wholesale, were $9,153,000 or 18% of sales as compared to $23,815,000 or 29% of sales in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 were $49,157,000 as compared to $76,579,000 in the prior year. The decrease was due to a reduction in gross sales, offset by a decrease in discounts and allowances. Additionally, the decrease was offset by a reduction in the number of customer rebate programs.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 95.4% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 82.8% in the prior fiscal year. This increase resulted primarily from the reduced level of production resulting from a decrease in sales. Although the Company has improved the efficiency of its manufacturing operation, the cost of sales percentage increased because the total fixed costs were allocated to the reduced number of units produced.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $10,961,000 or 22% of net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $11,892,000 or 15.5% of net sales for the prior fiscal year. The decrease of $931,000 was mainly a result of decreased sales, legal and distribution expenses.
Research and development costs were $443,000 for fiscal 2001 as compared to $537,000 for the prior fiscal year.
Interest expense was $5,208,000 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $4,904,000 in the prior fiscal year. The net increase of $304,000 resulted primarily from increased borrowings from ICC, partly offset by a decrease in long-term debt and the Company's revolving credit facility.
No provision for income tax was made for fiscal 2001.
Net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001 was $14,592,000 or $.49 per share as compared to $7,918,000 or $.26 per share in the prior fiscal year.
Results of Operations for Fiscal 2000 Compared to Fiscal 1999
Gross sales for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2000 were $82,869,000 as compared to $89,821,000 in the prior fiscal year. The decrease of $6,952,000 was mainly due to a decrease in the private label sector of the business. Private label sales were $73,733,000 as compared to $83,222,000 in the prior year. The bulk/contract manufacturing sector had sales of $9,136,000 as compared to $6,599,000 in the prior year. Sales to two customers, Walgreen Company and Costco Wholesale, were $23,815,000 or 28.7% of sales as compared to $27,934,000 or 31.1% of sales in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year.
Net sales for the fiscal year ended July 1,2000 were $76,579,000 as compared to $82,174,000 in the prior year. The decrease was due to a reduction in gross sales which was partially offset by a decrease in discounts and allowances.
Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 82.8% for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2000 as compared to 86.4% in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was partly due to the change in sales mix as mentioned above whereby less of the Company's business is in the private label (store brand) sector, which has a higher cost of sales percentage than the bulk/contract manufacturing business. To improve operating efficiencies and insure year 2000 compliance, during fiscal 1999 the Company installed and implemented a new integrated computer system. This major system conversion caused serious disruptions in inventory control, shipping, production and planning resulting in reduced sales and increased cost of sales. Cost of sales was also affected by the increased cost of packaging due to new equipment installed in fiscal 1998 which caused production inefficiencies and higher waste due to the beginning trials of the equipment during fiscal 1999. The Company estimates that costs incurred relating to the computer system conversion and other related disruptions which occurred during fiscal year 1999 were approximately $7,000,000. The disruptions which resulted from the computer system conversion also had a negative effect on fiscal 2000 sales, as certain customers reduced their levels of purchases.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $11,892,000 or 15.5% of net sales for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2000 as compared to $14,547,000 or 17.7% of net sales for the prior fiscal year. The decrease of $2,655,000 was mainly a result of decreased sales, legal and distribution expenses.
Research and development costs were $537,000 for fiscal 2000 as compared to $667,000 for the prior fiscal year.
Interest expense was $4,904,000 for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2000 as compared to $4,675,000 in the prior fiscal year. The net increase of $229,000 resulted primarily from increased borrowings from ICC, partly offset by a decrease in long-term debt.
In fiscal 1999, the Company settled claims relating to the children and a former spouse of Dr. Tesler, a former President of the Company who died in December 1996. Accordingly, the Company recorded a lawsuit settlement expense of $1,179,000 for the fiscal year ended July 3, 1999.
Income tax expense for fiscal 2000 was $3,868,000 compared to a benefit of $3,171,000 for fiscal 1999. As a result of the pre-tax loss of $4,050,000 for fiscal 2000 and its inconsistent operating results in prior years, the current status of the Company's business and the uncertainty with respect to generating taxable income in future years, management recorded a one time charge for income tax expense. This charge was made to recognize the uncertainty with respect to realization of future benefits of deferred tax assets which had been recorded in prior years.
Net loss for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2000 was $7,918,000 or $.26 per share as compared to $6,565,000 or $.22 per share in the prior fiscal year.
Effects of Inflation
We do not believe that inflation had a material effect on our operations for the fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders' (deficiency) and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes 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 consolidated financial position of Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. | Nature of the Business and Related Parties |
Pharmaceutical Formulations, Inc. (the "Company") is primarily engaged in the
manufacture and distribution of over-the-counter solid dosage pharmaceutical
products in tablet, caplet and capsule form, which are sold under
customers private labels. The Company also supplies bulk products to
secondary distributors and re-packers as well as smaller competitors who do not
have sophisticated research and development departments. It also engages in
contract manufacturing of selected branded products for well-known major
pharmaceutical companies. The Company also is engaged in the testing and
research and development of new drug and health care products. In September 1991, the Company entered into an option agreement with ICC Industries Inc. (ICC), which, as amended (the Option Agreement), provided for options and related preemptive rights to acquire a total of 64.7% of the number of shares of the Companys common stock outstanding after exercise of all options. ICC has exercised all of its options and certain preemptive rights and miscellaneous options pursuant to the Option Agreement. The number of shares issued to ICC through June 30, 2001 was 19,635,894 at option prices ranging from $.1036 to $.75 per share. In the event of any future issuance of shares of common stock of the Company pursuant to the exercise of existing options, warrants, conversion rights and other rights as they existed at September 24, 1992 (Outstanding Rights), issuance of common stock in settlement of the Companys outstanding debts as of September 24, 1992, or issuance of shares of stock to key management, ICC shall be entitled to acquire additional shares to maintain the ownership percentage it holds immediately before such shares of common stock are issued. ICCs exercise price for the shares is the lesser of $.25 or the exercise price or conversion price of the Outstanding Rights as the case may be. No preemptive rights were exercised by ICC in 1999, 2000 and 2001. In connection with the Option Agreement, several key employees were granted, and have the right in the future to receive, shares of the Companys common stock. ICC supplies certain inventory and has, in the past, provided equipment financing to the Company. In addition to making advances to the Company ICC has provided a term loan which totals $16,404,000 at June 30, 2001. The following transactions with ICC, are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of or for the years ended June 30, 2001, July 1, 2000 and July 3, 1999: |
Years Ended June 30, 2001 July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inventory purchases $ 2,163,000 $3,145,000 $2,667,000 Services and finance fees 1,656,000 720,000 277,000 Accounts payable 6,533,000 3,598,000 2,639,000 Note payable 16,404,000 7,752,000 3,000,000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. | Financial Results and Liquidity |
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2001, the Company incurred a net loss of
$14,592,000. ICC has demonstrated its confidence in the Company's management and business plan by the provision of loans to the Company, replacing loans from its asset-based lenders, and providing the Company with working capital. The Companys revenues continued to be effected by the deteriorated customer relationships resulting in part from the Companys computer and systems conversion and product delivery problems which occurred in fiscal 1999. The Company is addressing customer relationship issues and has begun the process of rebuilding its sales base through the initiatives detailed below. On a quarter to quarter comparison, sales have grown for the quarter ended June 30, 2001 for the first time in six quarters since the quarter ended January 1, 2000. The Company has begun implementing its plan to increase revenues and improve operational efficiencies to restore profitability. As part of these initiatives, the Company has undertaken the following: |
| During calendar year 2000, the Company initiated major restructuring in its management team, culminating in the appointment of James Ingram as President of the Company as of October 9, 2000. |
| In December 2000, certain assets were refinanced, providing an additional infusion of cash to improve operations, provide additional working capital and support new product launches. The refinancing was done with the support of the Companys principal stockholder, ICC Industries Inc., which has agreed to continue to provide ongoing financial support to the Company where necessary and provided a $4 million guarantee in connection with a new capital lease. |
| Within its sales, general and administrative expenses, the Company incurred in excess of $1 million in non-recurring charges related to changes in conjunction with the ongoing initiatives. |
A new operational and financial restructuring plan has been formulated to cover fiscal 2002. This operational plan includes the following: |
| Expanding custom manufacturing for some major pharmaceutical companies. Purchase orders have been received subsequent to June 30, 2001, which indicate this portion of the business should increase from its current levels. |
| Eliminating several unprofitable product lines consisting mainly of items purchased from third parties and repackaged end products for smaller customers. The Company continues to evaluate product line and customer profitability. |
| Increasing its business supplying other manufacturers with bulk tablets and capsules, taking advantage of higher volumes and better margins. |
| Exploring opportunities to expand its product line through joint venture marketing agreements. |
| Exploring opportunities to expand its international sales. |
These objectives, along with sustaining market share and increasing sales are projected to be driven by: |
| Re-establishing strong relationships within the Company's distribution network. |
| Controlling and reducing, where appropriate, fixed and variable expenses. |
| Eliminating unprofitable product lines and customers. |
| Managing inventory levels more efficiently. |
| Improving manufacturing efficiencies. |
| Shortening delivery time. |
| Filing ANDAs for new products as they come to the OTC Market. |
| Obtaining marketing rights for products produced by other generic pharmaceutical manufacturers. |
The Company believes that cash flow from revolving credit and equipment and term loan financing plus continued financial support from ICC will be sufficient to fund the Companys currently anticipated working capital, capital spending and debt service requirements during the 2002 fiscal year. The Companys revolving credit facility with a lending institution has been extended through December 31, 2001 and ICC continues to provide additional financial support. No assurance can be given that any further extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing can be successfully accomplished. However, ICC has committed to provide the Company with the necessary financing to continue its operations through December 31, 2002. |
3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All references to the Company include its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated. Fiscal Year Effective in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1999, the Company changed its fiscal year-end to the 52 or 53-week period, which ends on the Saturday closest to June 30. There were 52 weeks in each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments, with a maturity of three months or less. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined on a first in, first out (FIFO) basis. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets (five to fifteen years). Revenue Recognition Sales of products are recorded when products are shipped to customers. Estimated sales returns and allowances are accrued at the time revenues are recorded. Earnings Per Share The Company accounts for earnings per share under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, Earnings Per Share, which requires a dual presentation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed assuming the conversion of convertible preferred stock and the exercise or conversion of common equivalent shares, if dilutive, consisting of unissued shares under options and warrants. Basic and diluted losses per share are the same in each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001 because the impact of dilutive securities is anti-dilutive. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist principally of trade receivables. The Company extends credit to a substantial number of its customers and performs ongoing credit evaluations of those customers financial condition while, generally, requiring no collateral. Customers that have not been extended credit by the Company are on a cash in advance basis only. At June 30, 2001, approximately 48% of the accounts receivable balance was represented by six customers. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets at currently enacted tax rates for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Long-lived Assets Effective July 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets Being Disposed Of, which provides guidance on how and when impairment losses are recognized on long-lived assets based on non-discounted cash flows. No impairment losses have occurred through June 30, 2001. Stock Based Compensation Effective July 1, 1996, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. The Company chose to apply Accounting Principle Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options granted to employees. Shipping and Handling Costs During fiscal year 2001, the Company adopted Emerging Issue Task Force (EITF) 00-10, Accounting for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs. Shipping and handling costs charged to customers are included in the Companys net sales. All other shipping and handling costs which approximated $1,400,000 in fiscal 2001were charged to selling and shipping expenses. Revenues from shipping and handling are not significant. New Accounting Pronouncements In July 2001, SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets were issued. SFAS 141 requires the use of the purchase method of accounting and prohibits the use of the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001. SFAS 142 addresses financial accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets. SFAS requires, among other things, that companies no longer amortize goodwill, but instead test goodwill for impairment at least annually. SFAS 142 is required to be applied for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Currently, the Company has not recorded any goodwill and will assess how the adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 will impact its financial positions and results of operations in any future acquisitions. The Company adopted EITF 00-25, Vendor Income Statement Characterization of Consideration from a Vendor to a Retailer. The impact of adopting this policy had an immaterial effect on the Companys net sales. Fair Value and Financial Instruments Financial instruments of the Company include long-term debt. Based upon the current borrowing rates available to the Company, estimated fair values of the revolving credit and term loans (see Note 7) approximate their recorded carrying amounts. It was not deemed practical to determine the estimated fair value of the remaining debt. The carrying amounts for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short maturity of these items. Collective Bargaining Agreement Substantially all of the Companys non-management employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, which expires in October 2001. |
4. | Costs Related to Computer System Conversion |
In order to upgrade services to customers, improving operating efficiencies and insure year 2000 compliance, the Company, during fiscal 1999, installed and implemented a new integrated computer system. This major system conversion caused serious disruptions in inventory control, shipping, production and planning resulting in reduced sales and increased cost of sales. In addition, the Company experienced delays in billings and collections that required an increase in borrowing levels resulting in additional interest expense. The Company was not able to identify all of the additional costs related to the conversion to the new computer system. |
5. | Inventories | Inventories consist of the following: |
June 30, 2001 July 1, 2000 ------------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------- Raw materials $ 3,664,000 $ 3,967,000 Work in process 735,000 914,000 Finished goods 6,551,000 9,929,000 ------------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------- $ 10,950,000 $14,810,000 ------------------------ ---------------------- ---------------------- ------------------------ ---------------------- ----------------------

The net book value of property, plant and equipment under capital leases was $10,371,000 and $9,572,000 at June 30, 2001 and July 1, 2000, respectively. |
7. | Long-term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations | Long-term debt and capital lease obligations consist of the following: |

a) | On August 7, 1998, the Company modified its line of credit and equipment term loan with its lending institution. The maximum available funds under this modification are $25,000,000. Advances under the revolving loans are limited to the sum of eligible accounts receivable and up to $12,500,000 of eligible inventory, as defined. In addition, on May 19, 2000, the line was further amended to provide up to a $2,500,000 advance beyond borrowing formulas which is guaranteed by ICC. Such advances are to be repaid in monthly installments of $100,000. The term loan was refinanced in 1998 to a total of $1,200,000 and is payable in 36 monthly installments of $30,000, with the balance due on August 7, 2001. The term loan and the revolving loan are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Interest, payable monthly, at the prime rate, minus ¾% was increased by 2% effective April 1, 1999 resulting from the modification of certain contractual ratios. In August 2001, the revolving credit facility was modified and extended through December 31, 2001 at an interest rate of prime + 2% (8.75% at June 30, 2001) of which $2,000,000 is guaranteed by ICC with the maximum funds available being $10,000,000. In December 2000, the term loan was refinanced by another lender. The loan agreement contains certain covenants, which, among other things, prohibit the Company from making dividend payments and limit the Companys annual capital expenditures. |
b) | On December 31, 2000, the Company entered into a term loan and security agreement with ICC for $16,404,000 with interest payable monthly at 1% above the prime rate (7.75% at June 30, 2001). The loan is secured by a secondary security interest in all the assets of the Company. Principal payments are to commence in February 2002 at $100,000 per month with a final payment of $15,204,000 in February 2003. |
c) | At June 30, 2001, the Company has 5,061 units outstanding consisting of a $1,000 principal amount convertible subordinate debenture due June 15, 2002 (the 8% Debentures) with interest payable semi-annually. The holders of the 8% Debentures may convert them at any time into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $48 per share. The 8% Debentures are redeemable at the option of the Company under certain circumstances at par, plus an applicable premium, as defined. |
d) | At June 30, 2001, the Company has 1,624 units outstanding consisting of $325 principal amount 8¼% convertible debentures due June 15, 2002 (which includes $528,000 face value and interest through maturity of $85,000). Interest is payable annually on June 30. The holders of the 8¼ % debentures may convert them at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $.55 per share. The Company has no right to redeem the 8 ¼% Debentures. |
e) | The loan, which is secured by certain equipment, bears interest at 6 3/8% and is due on June 1, 2002. A provision in the loan agreement allows the lender to declare the loan immediately due and payable if there has been an event of default in any of the Companys other debt agreements. |
f) | In August 1989, PFI entered into a sale and leaseback of its land and building in Edison, New Jersey. The term of the lease is 15 years, plus two five-year renewal options. Monthly base rent was $107,000 for the first 30 months increased by the change in the Consumer Price Index on the thirty-first month after commencement and on each thirtieth month thereafter. On January 1, 2000, the monthly base rent increased to $145,000. The Company is obligated to pay all utilities, real estate taxes, assessments and repair and maintenance costs in connection with the premises. The land and building has been recorded as a capital lease and the gain on the sale and leaseback of approximately $750,000 has been deferred and is being amortized over the term of the lease. The lease has been capitalized at the net present value of the future minimum rental payments ($8,348,000), assuming a 13¼% interest rate factor, and is being amortized over the term of the lease. |
g) |
The Company leases various equipment under capital lease agreements. The terms
of the leases vary from five to six years with monthly rentals of approximately
$123,000. In December 2000, three capital lease agreements were refinanced with
one $4,000,000 capital lease agreement payable over 5 years. This agreement is
guaranteed by ICC. The interest rates under all capital leases range from 9%
-13%. The Companys debt and obligations under capital leases mature in fiscal years as follows: |
Capital Lease Long-Term Debt Obligations --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 $ 2,901,000 $14,693,000 2003 2,760,000 15,904,000 2004 2,521,000 2005 1,105,000 2006 500,000 -------------------------------------------------------------------- Total Payments 9,787,000 $30,597,000 ------------------------------- ----------------- ----------------- Less: Amount representing interest (1,730,000) ------------------------------------------------ Present value of net minimum lease payments $ 8,057,000 ------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------
8. | Commitments and Contingencies |
Commitments In fiscal 1996, the Company entered into a long-term lease for a building adjacent to the Companys manufacturing facility. The lease term is ten years with two five-year renewal options. The lease is classified as an operating lease. The rent payments are $319,200 per annum for the first five years and $342,000 per annum for the balance of the initial term. Contingencies In July 1997, the Company received an arbitration demand from the Estate of Dr. Max Tesler, a former President of the Company, who died in 1996. For breaches of employment and other agreements between the Company and Dr. Tesler, the Estate claimed an award of compensatory damages, punitive damages, a certain number of shares of common stock of the Company and attorneys fees. The Company also brought counterclaims against the Estate. In March 2000, the American Arbitration Association panel in New York awarded amounts to both the Estate and the Company. The panel awarded the Estate the amount of Teslers salary for approximately two years, which salary had been accrued in 1995. The panel also awarded the Estate a portion of its legal fees. The award dismissed all other Estate claims and ruled in favor of the Company on certain of its counterclaims. The net result of the arbitrators award is that the Company paid the Tesler Estate approximately $45,000 plus $75,000 of the Estates legal fees. The provision recorded by the Company in 1995 more than offset the amount paid to the Estate. The children and a former spouse of Dr. Tesler also raised certain claims arising out of the death of Dr. Tesler. The Company settled their claims in December 1998. Accordingly, the Company recorded a lawsuit expense of $1,179,000 which includes legal and other costs related to the settlement. In May 1998, the Company brought an action against one of its former outside corporate counsels seeking damages for conflict of interest, breaches of fiduciary duty and loyalty, negligence and malpractice during its representation of the Company. The action is still pending. In July 2000, an action was instituted in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against the Company by Apotex Corporation (Apotex) and Torpharm, Inc. seeking an unspecified amount in damages and specific performance in the nature of purchasing a certain product from Apotex. The complaint alleges that the Company would purchase a certain product exclusively from Apotex. The counts specified in the complaint include breach of contract, negligent misrepresentation, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of implied covenant to use best efforts, specific performance, breach of fiduciary duty, reformation and a Uniform Commercial Code action for the price of 3 million tablets. Management believes the lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending against it. The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the normal conduct of business. Management believes that the final outcome of all current legal matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the Companys financial position or results of operations. |
9. | Income Taxes |
Income tax expense (benefit) consist of the following federal taxes: |
June 30, July 1, July 3, YEARS ENDED 2001 2000 1999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current $ - $ 112,000 $ (947,000) Deferred - 3,756,000 (2,224,000) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Total income tax expense (benefit) $ - $ 3,868,000 $(3,171,000) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Companys income tax expense (benefit) differ from the amount of income tax determined by applying the applicable statutory U.S. Federal income tax rate to pretax loss as a result of the following: |
June 30, July 1, July 3, YEARS ENDED 2001 2000 1999 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Statutory U.S. tax (benefit) $(4,961,000) $(1,241,000) $(3,310,000) Increase (decrease) resulting from: Expiration of state net operating loss carry forwards - 71,000 - Net change in valuation account 5,871,000 4,731,000 364,000 Other (910,000) 307,000 (225,000) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Effective income tax expense (benefit) $ - $3,868,000 $(3,171,000) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As of June 30, 2001, the Company had available net operating
losses of approximately $23,791,000 for U.S. tax purposes, which expire through
2021. The utilization of losses that were generated prior to September 1991,
which approximate $1,494,000 is limited to $166,000 per year for U.S. tax
purposes due to the change in ownership resulting from ICC's investment.
State income tax net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $33,555,000,
which expire through 2007, are available to the Company. Deferred tax assets are comprised of the following temporary differences: |
June 30, 2001 July 1, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tax benefit of state income tax net operating loss carry forwards $ 3,020,000 $1,238,000 Tax benefit of federal income tax net operating loss carry forwards 8,090,000 3,698,000 Depreciation (472,000) 40,000 Deferred gain on sale/leaseback of building 70,000 102,000 Basis difference 8 1/4% debentures as a result of restructuring 29,000 29,000 Inventory valuation (40,000) 46,000 Allowance for doubtful accounts 465,000 138,000 Alternative minimum tax carry forward 104,000 104,000 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Deferred tax asset 11,266,000 5,395,000 Valuation allowance (11,266,000) (5,395,000) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net deferred tax asset $ - $ - ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Based on the assessment of all available evidence including the pre-tax loss of $14,592,000 for fiscal 2001, losses in the last three years, the current status of the Companys business and the uncertainty with respect to generating taxable income in future years, management has recorded a valuation allowance on the total of the deferred tax assets. |
10. | Common Stock and Options | The Company has granted options to employees, directors
and others under various stock option plans, lending arrangements, and under the
ICC Option Agreement. The following is a summary of stock options issued, exercised, forfeited or canceled during the period July 1, 1998 through June 30, 2001 (not including ICC preemptive rights or additional shares issuable to management in connection with ICC preemptive rights): |
Weighted Average Exercise Shares Price -------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding - June 30, 1998 1,747,000 $.77 Issued 346,000 $.39 Forfeited (849,700) $.65 -------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding - July 3, 1999 1,243,300 $.72 Issued 360,300 $.27 Forfeited (748,600) $.77 -------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding - July 1, 2000 855,000 $.49 Issued 568,000 $.27 Forfeited (216,800) $.48 -------------------------------------------------------------- Outstanding - June 30, 2001 1,206,200 $.36 -------------------------------------------------------------- Exercisable - June 30, 2001 567,450 $.63 --------------------------------------------------------------
The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding at June 30, 2001: |
Options Outstanding Options Exercisable ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Number Weighted Weighted Number Weighted Outstanding Average Average Exercisable Average Range of at June 30, Remaining Exercise at June 30, Exercise Exercise Prices 2001 Life (Years) Price 2001 Price ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $0.85 60,450 0.2 $0.85 60,450 $0.85 0.84 82,500 1.4 0.84 82,500 0.84 0.80 7,000 1.2 0.80 7,000 0.80 0.41 79,500 2.4 0.41 79,500 0.41 0.22 to 0.89 153,000 3.1 0.33 153,000 0.33 0.75 110,000 2.8 0.75 110,000 0.75 0.23 75,000 3.5 0.23 75,000 0.23 0.27 638,750 4.0 0.27 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1,206,200 567,450 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The weighted average fair market value of options granted during the fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $.11, $.12 and $.17, respectively. |
As of June 30, 2001, substantially all outstanding stock options
expire at various dates through fiscal year 2005. These options were granted at
prices which were at or above quoted market value on the dates
granted. The Company has adopted the disclosures only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for the stock options granted. Had compensation cost been determined based on the fair value at the date of grant consistent with provisions of SFAS No. 123, the Companys financial statements would have included the following: |
June 30, 2001 July 1, 2000 July 3, 1999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net (loss) - as reported $(14,592,000) $(7,918,000) $(6,565,000) Net (loss) - pro forma $(14,645,000) $(7,948,000) $(6,568,000) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The application of SFAS No. 123 had no effect on the
Companys net (loss) per share-basic and diluted during the years presented
above. The fair market value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for grants: expected volatility of 55%, 51% and 46% for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, risk-free interest rate of 3.6%, 6% and 4.4% for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively, expected lives of 5 years and no dividend yield for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2001. |
11. | Preferred Stock |
On April 8, 1996, the Company sold 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock
to ICC for an aggregate of $2,500,000. The preferred stock is redeemable at the
option of PFI and is currently convertible into common stock of the Company by
ICC at the lower of market price of the common stock or $2.00 per share. The
preferred stock accrues dividends at the rate of $.08 per share, payable
semi-annually and is cumulative and non-participating. Dividends in arrears
totaled $1,050,000 at June 30, 2001. On June 25, 2001, ICC gave notice to the Company of their intent to convert their preferred stock and unpaid dividends to common stock. On September 18, 2001, the Company asked for and ICC has agreed to a 60-day delay. On that date there were not enough unissued common shares to effect such conversion. |
12. | Major Customers and Products |
For the fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, 13%, 17%, and 14%, respectively, of
net sales were derived from Costco Wholesale. Walgreen Company accounted for 5%,
12% and 17% of net sales for fiscal years 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively.

____________________
1 | Executives may not sell or assign any option grants, which have value only to the extent of stock price appreciation, which will benefit all stockholders commensurately. The amounts set forth are based on assumed appreciation rates of 5% and 10% as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and are not intended to forecast future appreciation, if any, of the stock price. We did not use an alternate formula for a grant date valuation as we are not aware of any formula which will determine with reasonable accuracy a present value based on future unknown or volatile factors. Actual gains, if any, on stock option exercises and common stock holdings are dependent on the future performance of the common stock and overall stock market conditions. There can be no assurance that the amounts reflected in this table will be achieved. |
2 | The exercise price is equal to or higher than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. |
3 | The stock options terminated after Ms. Baer's employment ended. |
Aggregated Option Exercises and Fiscal Year-End Option Values in Fiscal 2001
No options were exercised by any of our executive officers during fiscal 2001. The following table sets forth information with respect to the Named Executives concerning unexercised options held at fiscal year-end:

Change of Control Arrangements
Options granted under our 1994 Stock Option Plan include provisions accelerating the vesting schedule in the case of a defined "Change of Control." A "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) any person or group of persons acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person) the beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, of our securities representing 20% or more of the combined voting power of our then-outstanding securities; (ii) during any period of twelve months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board of Directors, and any new director whose election or nomination was approved by the directors in office who either were directors at the beginning of the period or whose election or nomination was previously so approved, cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof; (iii) a person acquires beneficial ownership of our stock that, together with stock held immediately prior to such acquisition by such person, possesses more than 50% of the total fair market value of total voting power of our stock, unless the additional stock is acquired by a person possessing, immediately prior to such acquisition, beneficial ownership of 40% or more of the common stock; or (iv) a person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person) assets from us that have a total fair market value equal to or more than one-third of the total fair market value of all of our assets immediately prior to such acquisition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of clauses (i) and (ii), a Change in Control will not be deemed to have occurred if the power to control (directly or indirectly) the management and our policies is not transferred from a person to another person; and for purposes of clause (iv), a Change in Control will not be deemed to occur if the assets of the Company are transferred: (A) to a stockholder in exchange for his stock, (B) to an entity in which we have (directly or indirectly) 50% ownership, or (C) to a person that has (directly or indirectly) at least 50% ownership of the Company with respect to its stock outstanding, or to any entity in which such person possesses (directly or indirectly) 50% ownership.

The number of shares beneficially owned by a person also includes all shares which can be acquired by such person within 60 days, including by way of exercise of outstanding options or the conversion of convertible securities which are, or during such 60-day period, become exercisable or convertible. |
2 | Does not include 2,330,148 shares includable in connection with ICC's limited preemptive rights since such rights are not currently exercisable nor can there be any assumption that they will become exercisable within 60 days after June 30, 2001. Such shares are issuable only upon the issuance by the Company of certain shares to other persons pursuant to agreements which were outstanding as of September 24, 1992. The issuance of shares to ICC pursuant to the limited preemptive rights is intended to maintain the preexisting equity ownership of ICC of approximately two-thirds of the outstanding shares (excluding shares which ICC may acquire upon conversion of convertible preferred shares). It also does not include any shares which may be issuable upon conversion of outstanding convertible preferred stock since such conversion can not occur until after three months prior written notice to the Company. Each share of preferred stock is convertible to such number of shares of common stock as equals the then-current liquidation preference for such shares of preferred stock (currently $1.00) divided by the lower of the current market price for the common stock (as defined) at the conversion date (as defined) or $2.00 per share (subject to certain antidilution adjustments). (The current market price is defined as the average of the daily market prices (as defined) for the common stock for 30 consecutive trading days commencing 45 days prior to the conversion date, which is the third monthly anniversary date of the date of notice of conversion). On June 25, 2001 ICC gave notice to the Company of its intent to convert its preferred stock and unpaid dividends to common stock. With the applicable current market price equal to the average of the high and low asked price for the common stock on the third month anniversary of the notice of conversion (i.e. September 21, 2001) of $.075, the 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock would convert into 33,333,333 shares of common stock. After such conversion ICC would then own 66,969,227 shares of common stock, which is 86.2% of the outstanding common stock. On September 18, 2001, PFI asked for and ICC has agreed to a 60 day delay. At this time there are not enough authorized but unissued shares to effect such a conversion. We currently intend to seek stockholder approval at the next annual meeting to an increase in the number of authorized shares. If the market price for the common stock is greater than $0.75 per share at the conversion date, ICC would own fewer shares, and if the market price is less than $0.75 per share ICC would own more shares, after any such conversion. Dr. Farber is the majority stockholder of ICC. See "Certain Relationships and Related Transactions." |
3 | Includes shares of common stock subject to stock options exercisable as of June 30, 2001 or within 60 days thereof as follows: Mr. Barbee 77,750; Mr. Barney 150,000, Mr. Cantaffa: 167,333; Mr. Cheesman: 75,000; Mr. Ingram 75,000 and all officers and directors as a group: 470,083. |
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Transactions.
Transactions with ICC
Option Agreement
In September 1991, we entered into the ICC Option Agreement pursuant to which ICC was granted a series of options to acquire a total of 66.67% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding after the exercise of all options owned by ICC and certain other outstanding options, warrants, rights and convertible securities. All of the options under such agreement have been exercised. As a result of the exercise of certain options, ICC acquired voting control of the Company as of October 1992. The last option was fully exercised in May 1994.
Under the ICC Option Agreement, ICC was also granted certain preemptive rights (the "Limited Preemptive Rights") at a price equal to the lesser of the exercise price (or conversion price, as the case may be), of certain additional outstanding options, warrants and other rights to purchase shares of common stock (the "Convertible Securities") or $.25. The Limited Preemptive Rights are exercisable for a period of 45 days after we send notice to ICC that shares have been issued in connection with any outstanding Convertible Securities. We cannot predict whether any shares will be issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding Convertible Securities or whether ICC will exercise any resulting preemptive rights.
As of June 30, 2001, ICC owned a total of 19,635,894 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 64.7% of the total number of shares outstanding on that date, and it held rights to acquire additional shares under the Limited Preemptive Rights.
Sale of Preferred Stock
Effective April 4, 1996, we filed a Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights creating 3,000,000 shares of Series A Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a dividend at the lower of $.08 per share or $1.00 times the prime rate of interest at the time of the sale of the Series A Preferred Stock, payable semiannually when declared. Dividends cumulate if not paid and we cannot declare or pay dividends on any other class of stock until dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are paid. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to a liquidation preference of $1.00 per share. We may redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time at a price equal to the liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted at the option of the holder into shares of common stock, par value $.08 per share, at any time after 36 months from issuance upon three months prior notice at a rate such that each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted into such number of shares of common stock as equals the liquidation preference plus accrued and unpaid dividends, divided by the lower of the current market price (as defined) at the conversion date or $2.00 per share (subject to certain antidilution adjustments). The shares of Series A Preferred Stock are accorded only such voting rights as required by applicable law. We may not, however, take certain enumerated action prejudicial to the interest of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock without the approval of the holders of a majority of the Series A Preferred Stock.
We sold 2,500,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to ICC pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement between the Company and ICC dated April 8, 1996 for a payment of $2,500,000. See footnote 2 to the table at "Securities Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management" above for more information on how many shares would be issued upon conversion under certain assumed circumstances. Pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, we agreed to (a) redeem some or all of the Series A Preferred Stock owned by ICC if we have made a registered public offering of our common stock and the proceeds of such offering shall have been sufficient to pay the redemption price and (b) allow ICC to surrender shares of Series A Preferred Stock, valued at the liquidation preference therefore plus accrued and unpaid dividends, in exercise of any warrants, options or other rights to purchase common stock which ICC may have or in payment of any shares of common stock purchased in any public offering. The foregoing covenants are conditioned upon our ability to undertake the required actions under applicable law and that the redemption or surrender of shares would not thereby cause us to fail to meet all requirements for listing or continued listing of our common stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market or such other exchange on which the common stock may be listed.
Purchase of Raw Materials
We purchased $2,163,000 of raw materials from ICC in 2001, $ 3,145,000 in 2000 and $2,667,000 in 1999.
Lease Financing
ICC has also assisted us in obtaining certain machinery and equipment for the expansion of our production capacity. In such cases, ICC, or its affiliates, typically acted as lessor of the equipment for which fixed monthly fees are paid by us. As a result of our general financial condition, we would not otherwise have been able to secure such leases and credit facilities in the amounts required for our continuing and planned operations.
Since 1992, we have entered into various subleases of equipment and leasehold improvements from companies affiliated with ICC, for which we pay such affiliates fixed monthly fees. Such leases have various terms, expiring at different times between 1999 and 2001. In fiscal 1999, we assumed these subleases and are now making the lease payments directly to the leasing company previously associated with ICC. Upon expiration of the term of each lease, we are entitled to purchase the equipment for a price of $1.00. We no longer lease equipment from ICC.
Loans
On April 1, 1999, ICC provided a term loan of $3,000,000 which was increased to $7,752,000 on July 1, 2000. It also provided a temporary guarantee of $2,500,000 in advances under a line of credit and term loan from a lending institution. The term loan is secured by a subordinated pledge of all our assets and is repayable in 12 monthly installments of $100,000 each commencing in August 2001 with a final payment of $6,552,000 in August 2002. Interest is payable at 1% over prime. On September 30, 2000, the term loan was increased to $11,837,000 and the payment terms were modified and the term loan was increased to $16,404,000 in December 2000. It is repayable in 12 monthly installments of $100,000 each commencing in February 2002 with the balance due in February 2003. The temporary guarantee of $2,500,000 was replaced by a $2,000,000 guarantee in advances under a line of credit and a $4,000,000 guarantee under the term loan from lending institutions.
The Company extended its revolving credit facilities through December 31, 2001. It refinanced part of its equipment term facility in December 2000. No assurance can be given that any such further extension, renewal, replacement or refinancing can be successfully accomplished. However, ICC has committed to provide the Company with the necessary financing to continue the operations through December 31, 2002.
Legal Services
In fiscal 1996 we appointed the law firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP ("Stroock") as one of our legal counsel. Stroock has performed and continues to perform legal services for ICC in matters unrelated to us.
