PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 Interim Financial Reporting and Change in Fiscal Year

  During December 2002, we changed our fiscal year-end from the 52-53 week period which ends on the Saturday closest to June 30 to the 52-53 week period which ends on the Saturday closest to December 31.

The consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2002 has been derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet of that date 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 six months ended December 28, 2002 as filed in the Company’s Form 10-K. 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 March 29, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or any other period.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company follows SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” We chose to apply Accounting Principle Board Opinion 25 and related interpretations in accounting for stock options granted to our employees.

The Company provides proforma disclosures of compensation expense under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.”

The weighted average assumptions used for the period presented are as follows:


                                                           Three Months Ended
                                                            March 29, 2003

                         Risk-free interest rate                 2.4%
                         Expected dividend yield                  -
                         Expected lives                         5 years
                         Expected volatility                      125%

Had compensation cost for the Company’s option plans been determined using the fair value method at the grant dates, the effect on the Company’s net loss and loss per share for the three months ended March 29, 2003 would have been as follows:


                                                                     Three Months Ended

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. Management believes the lawsuit is without merit and is vigorously defending against it.

In May 1998, PFI 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 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.

PFI 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 our financial position or results of operations.

Note 4 Related Party Transactions

  ICC Industries Inc., a major international manufacturer and marketer of chemical, plastic and pharmaceutical products, is our principal shareholder. The following transactions with ICC are reflected in the consolidated financial statements as of or for the three months ended March 29, 2003 and March 30, 2002:


                                                     2003                    2002

          Interest charges from ICC                   240,000                154,000
          Accounts payable to ICC                   7,953,000              4,283,000
          Note payable to ICC                      18,842,000             12,560,000
          Advances from ICC                            65,000              4,100,000


Note 5 Subsequent Event

  On April 15, 2003, PFI announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the stock of Konsyl Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas for approximately $8.5 million, which provides for $6 million is to be paid in cash at closing and a $2.5 million promissory note payable over 4 years at the rate of 7% per annum, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. In addition, as part of the purchase price, PFI will issue warrants to the stockholder of Konsyl equal to a total of 1.2 million shares of common stock of PFI at an exercise price of $.204 per share. The closing is expected to occur on or about May 15, 2003. The $6 million cash payment is expected to be financed by a combination of asset-based and term loan financing.

Konsyl is a manufacturer and distributor of powdered, dietary natural fiber supplements, which has been in business for over 35 years. The products are manufactured at their plant in Easton, Maryland and are sold, both domestically and internationally, to pharmaceutical wholesalers, drugstore chains, mass merchandisers, grocery store chains, and grocery distributors. Products are sold under both the “Konsyl®” brand name and various private labels. The “Konsyl®” brand product line and private label products are generally merchandised in pharmacy sections with other bulk forming laxatives. Konsyl also manufactures a gastrointestinal diagnostic product, “Sitzmarks”, that is sold to hospitals, colon and rectal surgeons, and radiologists.

We believe this acquisition provides an opportunity to increase our presence in both the private label and branded pharmaceutical markets. It also affords PFI the opportunity to introduce new products and product line extensions under the “Konsyl®” brand and PFI’s own laxative products. Management believes there also exist considerable opportunities for cost savings through consolidation of the two companies.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

  Gross sales for the three months ended March 29, 2003 were $16,533,000 as compared to $12,954,000 in the comparable period in the prior year, an increase of $3,579,000 or 27.6%. In July 2002, we began shipments to a major national retailer. This new relationship contributed approximately $1.9 million of gross sales in the current quarter. The balance of the sales increase came from established private label customers.

Net sales for the three months ended March 29, 2003 were $16,214,000 as compared to $12,668,000 in the comparable period in the prior fiscal year, an increase of $3,546,000 or 28.0% due to higher gross sales.

Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales was 86% for the three months ended March 29, 2003 as compared to 90% in the prior year period. This decrease resulted primarily from lower material costs and the efficiencies gained from the increased levels of production.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2,289,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2003 as compared to $2,221,000 in the prior year period, an increase of $68,000 or 3% as compared with the 28% growth in net sales. This reflects our continued efforts to control costs.

Interest expense was $809,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2003 as compared to $1,008,000 for the prior year period. The decrease is primarily a result of lower interest rates.

In December 2001, ICC became an 85.6% owner of our common stock. As a result of the increase in ICC’s ownership of PFI, we file a consolidated tax return with ICC. In accordance with a tax sharing agreement between the two companies, we will be reimbursed for the tax savings generated from ICC’s use of our 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, we recorded a tax benefit of $296,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2003 and a benefit of $663,000 for the three months ended March 30, 2002.

PFI reported a net loss of $548,000 or $.01 per share for the three months ended March 29, 2003 as compared to a net loss of $1,287,000 or $.02 per share in the prior year period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  Cash increased $28,000 during the three months ended March 29, 2003.

Total funds provided by operating activities were $257,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2003. This was primarily attributable to a decrease in accounts receivable of $657,000 and non-cash charges of $700,000 from depreciation and amortization, offset by a pre-tax loss of $844,000 and an increase in inventories of $246,000.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2003 was $516,000, principally attributable to expenditures for capital equipment for additional capacity.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 29, 2003 was $287,000, primarily from a new capital equipment financing of $395,000, borrowings of long-term debt of $408,000 and $65,000 of advances from ICC, offset by lease repayments of $587,000.

Current assets at March 29, 2003 include $8,677,000 of accounts receivable as compared to $9,334,000 at December 28, 2002. The accounts receivable decrease of $657,000 is a result of the lower gross sales compared with the preceding quarter due to seasonal factors. Working capital also includes $13,377,000 of inventory as compared to $13,131,000 at December 28, 2002. Current liabilities include $7,953,000 due ICC at March 29, 2003, compared to $7,027,000 at December 28, 2002. Current liabilities also includes $8,440,000 of accounts payable and accrued expenses as compared to $9,477,000 at December 28, 2002. The decrease reflects our efforts to re-establish vendor relationships. There were no significant backorders of purchases at March 29, 2003.

We have a deferred tax asset of approximately $14,015,000 before the valuation allowance of $13,300,000 at March 29, 2003, 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 utilization of net operating loss carryforwards will reduce our future tax obligation.

We intend to spend an estimated $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 for capital improvements, during the fiscal year ending January 3, 2004, of which we have spent $499,000 through March 29, 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 facility 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 through calendar 2003. We have extended our working capital facility through December 31, 2005. 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 December 31, 2004. ICC has supported us in the past by providing loans, replacing loans from our asset-based lenders and providing us with working capital.

On April 15, 2003, PFI announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the stock of Konsyl Pharmaceuticals, Inc. of Fort Worth, Texas for approximately $8.5 million, which provides for $6 million is to be paid in cash at closing and a $2.5 million promissory note payable over 4 years at the rate of 7% per annum, subject to certain purchase price adjustments. In addition, as part of the purchase price, PFI will issue warrants to the stockholder of Konsyl equal to a total of 1.2 million shares of common stock of PFI at an exercise price of $.204 per share. The closing is expected to occur on or about May 15, 2003. The $6 million cash payment is expected to be financed by a combination of asset-based and term loan financing. Aggregate term loan financing of $3.1 million will be repayable over four years. Management expects that Konsyl's internal cash flows will fund the repayments.

ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

  PFI would be adversely affected by an increase in interest rates. Each 1% change in the prime rate will change the Company’s annual expenditure by approximately $350,000.

ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

The Company maintains a system of internal controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. The Company’s principal executive and financial officers have evaluated the disclosure controls and procedures within 90 days prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s internal controls or in other factors which could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to the completion of the evaluation.
