PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Interim Financial Reporting and Change in Fiscal Year

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 2002 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet for the fiscal year then ended and is presented for comparative purposes. Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The accompanying financial statements presume that users have read the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2002. Accordingly, footnotes that would substantially duplicate such disclosure have been omitted.

The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist of normal recurring accruals.

The results of operations for the three months ended September 28, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.

Effective in December 2002, PFI will change its fiscal year-end from the 52 or 53-week period which ends on the Saturday closest to June 30 to the 52 or 53-week period which ends on the Saturday closest to December 31.

Note 2 Commitments and Contingencies

In March 2002, action was brought against PFI in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York seeking $20 million in damages and $40 million in punitive damages related to the sales of allegedly defective product. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and are vigorously defending against it.

In March 2002, an action was brought against us and others seeking unspecified damages and alleging that product sold with the label “Made in U.S.A.” was substantially made outside the United States. We had previously entered into an agreement with the Federal Trade Commission regarding discontinuation of this wording and were in full compliance with that agreement. Therefore, we believe this lawsuit is without merit and are vigorously defending against it.

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. We believe the lawsuit is without merit and are vigorously defending against it.

The Company is a party to various other legal proceedings arising in the normal conduct of business. We believe that the final outcome of all current legal matters will not have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Note 3 Inventories

Inventories consist of the following:

                           Inventory purchases from ICC                $   643,000               $    175,000
                           Interest charges from ICC                       328,000                    428,000

                           Note payable to ICC                          18,322,000                 16,404,000
                           Advances from ICC                             1,879,000                  4,382,000

Note 5 Capital Stock

In May 2002, we began a rights offering to all shareholders other than ICC. The offering was made to PFI’s stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 7, 2002. The offering was also made to employees who held options on the Company’s common stock. PFI is undertaking this rights offering for two reasons: firstly, to enable its stockholders, other than ICC, to be able to purchase additional shares of its common stock at the same price as was used to effectuate conversions of debt and preferred stock by ICC in December 2001 and January 2002; and secondly, to raise additional capital. Each person who was a holder of PFI common stock at the close of business on May 7, 2002, other than ICC, received 2.8 subscription rights for each share of common stock they held. Each employee of PFI who was a holder of an option to purchase common stock received 2.8 rights for each share of common stock covered by the option agreement. The ratio of 2.8 rights for each share of common stock will enable non-ICC stockholders to restore their percentage interests in the Company substantially to the level that existed prior to the ICC conversions. This was the objective used in the determination of the number of rights per share. Rights holders will be entitled to purchase one share of common stock for each right held at a price of $.34 per share. An aggregate of 34,467,741 shares of common stock will be sold if all rights are exercised. The rights are transferable, and shareholders who exercise their rights will be able to subscribe for additional shares not taken up by other rights holders. ICC has waived any rights it may have to participate in this rights offering by virtue of its holding of common stock or any other rights. The offering is currently scheduled to expire on December 20, 2002. As of November 6, 2002, no rights have been exercised.

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Gross sales for the three months ended September 28, 2002 were $16,142,000 as compared to $13,413,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $2,729,000 or 20.3%. In July 2002, PFI began shipments to a major national retailer. This new relationship contributed approximately $2 million of net sales in the current quarter.

  Net sales for the three months ended September 28, 2002 were $15,944,000 as compared to $13,274,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $2,670,000 or 20.1% due to higher gross sales.

  Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 81.9% for the three months ended September 28, 2002 as compared to 87.5% in the prior year period. This decrease resulted primarily from a shift in product mix to higher margin products due to contract manufacturing, lower material costs and the efficiencies gained from the increased levels of production.

  Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,217,000 for the three months ended September 28, 2002 as compared to $2,432,000 in the prior year period. The decrease of $215,000 is primarily the result of reductions in distribution expenses and sales and marketing expenses.

  Interest expense was $947,000 for the three months ended September 28, 2002 as compared to $1,292,000 for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily a result of ICC’s conversion of debt into equity and lower interest rates.

  As a result of the increase in ICC’s ownership of PFI, PFI will file a consolidated tax return with ICC. In accordance with a tax sharing agreement between the two companies, PFI will be reimbursed for the tax savings generated by ICC, from the use of PFI’s losses. In addition, the agreement provides for an allocation of the group’s tax liability, based upon the ratio that each member’s contribution of taxable income bears to the consolidated taxable income of the group. In connection with this tax sharing agreement, the Company has recorded a tax benefit of $302,000 for the three months ended 9/28/02. The tax benefit recorded is disproportionate due to a reduction in the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation reserve.

  As of September 28, 2002, the Company had available net operating losses of approximately $29,576,000 for U.S. tax purposes, which expire through 2022 . 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 $36,972,000, which expire through 2008, are available to the Company.

  The Company reported a net income of $61,000 or $.00 per share for the three months ended September 28, 2002 as compared to a net loss of $2,069,000 or $(.07) per share in the prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Total cash used during the three months ended September 28, 2002 was $24,000.

  Total funds used in operating activities were $943,000 for the three months ended September 28, 2002. This was primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $1,705,000, offset by non-cash charges of $772,000 from depreciation and amortization.

  Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended September 28, 2002 was $400,000, principally attributable to expenditures for capital equipment for additional capacity.

  Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended September 28, 2002 was $1,319,000, primarily from loans provided by ICC. ICC has supported PFI by providing loans, replacing loans from its asset-based lenders and providing us with working capital.

  Current assets at September 28, 2002 include $9,226,000 of accounts receivable as compared to $7,521,000 at June 29, 2002. The accounts receivable increase of $1,705,000 is a result of the higher gross sales compared with the preceding quarter. Working capital also includes $13,004,000 of inventory as compared to $12,905,000 at June 29, 2002. The increase is primarily related to purchases of materials to meet anticipated sales orders. Current liabilities also includes $11,026,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses as compared to $10,972,000 at June 29, 2002. The increase is primarily due to increased purchases. There were no significant backorders at September 28, 2002.

  We have convertible subordinated debentures and capitalized lease obligations, which together with the line of credit borrowings have a substantial impact on the cash requirements in terms of principal and interest payments. The Company’s line of credit agreement was extended through December 31, 2003.

  We have a deferred tax asset of approximately $14,068,000 before the valuation allowance at September 28, 2002, 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, our inconsistent operating results in prior years, the current status of our 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 asset. Reductions in the valuation allowance, which could benefit results of operations in the future, will be recorded when, in the opinion of management, PFI’s ability to generate taxable income is considered more likely than not. Any realization of this asset in future periods would improve our liquidity.

  We intend to spend an estimated $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 for capital improvements during the twelve-month period ending June 28, 2003 to increase manufacturing capacity and reduce costs. We anticipate that these capital expenditures will be funded through equipment lease financing and working capital. While we have in the past had no difficulty in obtaining such financing, there can be no assurance that we will obtain the lease financing in the future.

  We believe that cash flow from our revolving credit and equipment and term loan financing, plus continued financial support from ICC, will be sufficient to fund our currently anticipated working capital, capital spending and debt service requirements (including approximately $2.1 million of indebtedness scheduled to be repaid in June 2003) through calendar 2003. We have extended our working capital facility through December 31, 2003. We expect the aforementioned working capital needs will require us to obtain new revolving credit facilities by December 31, 2003, 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 us with the necessary financing to continue our operations through calendar 2003. ICC has supported us in the past by providing loans, replacing loans from our asset-based lenders and providing us with working capital.
