PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General
GEN/Rx, Inc. ("GEN/Rx" or the "Company") effectively ceased operations
June 30, 1996. Prior to June 30, 1996, GEN/Rx was a holding company which,
through its subsidiaries, was in the business of developing, manufacturing and
distributing generic injectable drugs. GEN/Rx had three wholly-owned
subsidiaries: AUSA, Inc. ("AUSA"), which was sold to the Company's major
shareholder, Apotex Corp. (formerly known as Apotex USA, Inc.) ("Apotex"), in
June 1996; American Veterinary Products, Inc. ("AVP"), which discontinued
operations in December 1995; and Collins Laboratories, Inc. ("Collins"), which
has been inactive since its inception. The Company experienced significant
operating losses from its inception in July 1994, resulting in a deficit equity
position.
On June 27, 2002, the Company was dissolved by proclamation of the
secretary of state of the state of New York for failure to file franchise tax
reports or pay franchise taxes. The Company is currently seeking reinstatement.
See "Legal Proceedings."
Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this Annual Report to
the "Company" shall be deemed to include, collectively, GEN/Rx and all of its
subsidiaries.
History
Business Combination
On April 13, 1995, the Company's newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary,
GEN/Rx Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., merged with and into AUSA (the "Merger").
Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired all the assets of AUSA, a company
engaged in the distribution of injectable drugs.
Prior to the Merger, AUSA was a subsidiary of Apotex. As part of the
Merger transaction, the Company issued to Apotex 15,353,840 shares of its Common
Stock, as a result of which Apotex became the owner of approximately 74% of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company. In addition, the Company issued
warrants to various individuals to purchase 270,000 shares of common stock of
GEN/Rx for $1.50 per share.
Loan Agreement
In connection with the Merger, pursuant to a loan agreement dated April
13, 1995, between the Company and Apotex (the "Loan Agreement"), Apotex lent the
Company $500,000 represented by a Term Note dated April 13, 1995, and $2,000,000
represented by a revolving line of credit note dated April 13, 1995. See
"Default of Loan Covenants" below. The notes bore interest at 1% over prime and
had a maturity date of April 13, 1998. These notes were secured by all of the
assets of the Company. As additional consideration for the loans, Apotex
received warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share to
1
purchase shares of the Company's common stock in an amount equal to one share
for each dollar advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The warrants had a term
of three years. At December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed the full
$2,500,000 pursuant to this Loan Agreement.
Default of Loan Covenants
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to
amend the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in
its discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000 original loan
amount, that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they
had been advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested
additional advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000
through December 31, 1995. The Company agreed that failure to repay the amounts
when due would constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The Company also
issued to Apotex a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share in connection with
the amendment. The warrants had a term of three years.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was indebted to Apotex for an aggregate
of $3,563,000, including $447,000 of accounts payable converted to notes
pursuant to the amendment to the Loan Agreement. The Company's failure to pay
the amounts due December 22, 1995 constituted an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement, as amended, and Apotex by a letter dated January 2, 1996, accelerated
the entire amount of indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, which
were jointly and severally liable for the debt. As a result of the acceleration,
on January 5, 1996, the Company turned over to Apotex all of the collateral
securing the loans under the amended Loan Agreement, including AVP's Ft. Collins
plant. The Company continued to receive additional advances from Apotex in 1996
in the aggregate amount of $862,000. At June 30, 1996, the Company was indebted
to Apotex for an aggregate of $5,296,659 (before the sale of AUSA) including
$747,423 of accounts payable converted to notes pursuant to the Loan Agreement,
as amended.
On January 4, 1996, Apotex sought and received the appointment of a
receiver for AVP's Ft. Collins plant in a proceeding in Larimer County,
Colorado. See "Discontinued Operations of AVP" below. The order permitted the
receiver to exercise control over AVP's bank accounts, accounts receivable and
inventory. As a result of the November 29, 1995 amendment to the Loan Agreement
and the appointment of a receiver, AVP stopped receiving any cash proceeds from
the Apotex loans. AVP subsequently discontinued operations. See "Discontinued
Operations of AVP" below. In addition, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as
amended, accounts receivable of AUSA were assigned to Apotex and collections
thereof were deposited into the bank accounts of Apotex. Apotex subsequently
purchased all of the outstanding capital stock of AUSA on July 1, 1996. See
"Sale of AUSA" below.
Sale of AUSA
In February 1996, in light of the Company's losses, the Company retained
the services of the investment banking firm Hill Thompson Capital Markets, Inc.,
to assist management in its efforts to identify steps and strategies to reduce
losses, generate returns on the Company's assets and maximize shareholder
values. Hill Thompson recommended the sale of AUSA, identified potential
purchasers for AUSA, prepared a confidential descriptive memorandum and sought
to solicit interest in AUSA on behalf of the Company. Hill Thompson was not
successful in soliciting any interested parties.
2
The Company held an auction on June 28, 1996 to sell the 100 shares of
AUSA common stock outstanding. All of such shares were subject to a perfected
security interest in favor of Apotex. The auction was held at Hill Thompson's
office at 437 Madison Avenue in New York City and the minimum price for the AUSA
shares was $1,000,000. At the auction, Apotex bid $1,000,000 for the shares of
AUSA. Apotex was the only bidder at the auction. The Company and Apotex
consummated the purchase with an effective date of July 1, 1996, promptly after
the auction. Apotex's acquisition of AUSA from the Company resulted in a
reduction of the Company's indebtedness in favor of Apotex by $1 million. At
September 30, 1996, after the sale of AUSA to Apotex, the Company indebtedness
to Apotex equalled approximately $4,400,000, all of which was due and payable.
Discontinued Operations of AVP
In connection with an inspection by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
("FDA") of AVP's manufacturing facility from October 1994 through May 1995, AVP
received a "warning letter" from the Denver District Office of the FDA setting
forth certain alleged deviations from current good manufacturing practice
regulations ("GMP"s) and alleged violations of related provisions of the Federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
In June 1995, following new management's investigation of the matters set
forth in the warning letter, management suspended indefinitely the manufacture
of products. In December 1995, management decided to discontinue the operations
of AVP, because it determined that the time and financial commitment required to
rehabilitate AVP's operations would be too great for the Company to pursue. In
connection with management's decision to discontinue the operations of AVP, the
Company laid-off substantially all of its personnel at this facility and
recorded a provision of $5,646,000 in its 1995 financial statements.
In January 1996, the Larimer County (Colorado) District Court appointed a
receiver for AVP, including the Ft. Collins plant. The receiver liquidated
approximately all of AVP's assets at its three locations in or near Ft. Collins,
Colorado, for proceeds aggregating approximately $670,000. The receiver used the
proceeds for disposal of hazardous and other wastes at the Ft. Collins plant and
for continued care of AVP's inventory and other payroll and non-payroll related
expenses. Upon final order of the court dated September 22, 1998, directing
final payments from the court supervised account, all remaining cash in the
account, amounting to approximately $40,000, was paid to Apotex. In addition, on
January 13, 1997, the Ft. Collins plant was conveyed to Apotex by deed in lieu
of foreclosure proceedings. In May 1997, Apotex sold the Ft. Collins plant to an
unrelated third party for $475,000 consisting of $365,000 in cash and a
promissory note in the amount of $100,000, bearing interest at 10% per annum,
payable monthly, which note was paid to Apotex in full on the one-year
anniversary of such sale. Nonetheless, even after Apotex's receipt of such
proceeds from the liquidation of the Company's assets and sale of the Ft.
Collins property, the Company remained indebted to Apotex in the amount of
approximately $4,401,659at June 30, 1997. As of December 31, 2000, the Company
remains indebted to Apotex in the amount of approximately $4,400,000.
Financial Statements Presentation
With respect to the Company's financial information set forth in this
Annual Report relating to the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, the
financial statements are presented on a liquidation basis. All of the operations
of AVP and AUSA are treated as discontinued operations.
3
Present Lack of Operations
The Company has not conducted any business operations since the sale of
AUSA on June 30, 1996. All activities of the Company after such date related
principally to the liquidation of the AVP assets by the receiver and the sale of
the Ft. Collins plant.
The Company does not have any employees or executive officers, other than
Jack Margareten, who serves as part-time Acting President and Chief Financial
Officer. The Company's Board of Directors has four seats, three of which are
vacant. Jack Margareten is the sole director of the Company. Mr. Margareten was
appointed sole director and elected as Acting President of the Company and its
subsidiaries in May 1997 after then-President, Chief Executive Officer and sole
director Jack M. Schramm resigned from such positions. Mr. Schramm also served
as President of both Apotex, which owns approximately 74% of the Company, and
AUSA, a former subsidiary of the Company acquired by Apotex June 30, 1996. Mr.
Margareten, who prior to May 1997 served as Chief Financial Officer of the
Company and Apotex, also replaced Mr. Schramm as Acting President of Apotex in
May 1997.
Prior to July 1, 1996, the Company's executive offices were located at
1776 Broadway Suite 1900, New York, New York 10019. All business operations have
ceased and the Company does not lease or own any real property. For purposes of
this Annual Report, the Company's office is c/o Jack Margareten, 600 Woodmere
Boulevard, Woodmere, New York 11598.
After the Company was placed in receivership and AUSA was sold to Apotex,
Exchange Act reports relating to the Company were no longer filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Apotex, the Company's principal shareholder,
is currently considering various business alternatives relating to the Company,
including, but not limited to, commencing new business operations, dissolving
the Company or seeking an interested investor for a sale of its stock holdings
in the Company. Accordingly, the Company is filing presently this Annual Report
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2000, as well as Exchange Act reports for
prior and subsequent periods in order to bring the Company's reporting up to
date. There can be no assurance that Apotex will pursue one or more of these or
other alternatives relating to the Company, or, if it does, that any of such
pursuits will be successful. See "Legal Proceedings."
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company does not own or lease any real property.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 1996, the receiver for AVP caused AVP to commence an action against
John DeTemple, a former president and director of the Company and AVP, in the
U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The suit sought
payment of invoices in the aggregate amount of approximately $105,000 for orders
placed with AVP by J.D.T., Inc. d/b/a American Veterinary Pharmaceuticals, an
entity which management believes to be owned by Mr. DeTemple. In June 2000, the
Company settled the action against Mr. DeTemple for payment of $25,000, which
the Company received in July 2000.
As a result of the failure to timely file reports under the Exchange Act
relating to the Company since the Company's cessation of operations in 1996, the
Securities and Exchange Commission may, in its discretion, institute one or more
actions against the Company and/or its officers and directors (and
4
former officers and directors) seeking monetary or other penalties that may be
imposed under the Exchange Act. Any such penalties could materially adversely
affect the Company.
The Company has not filed all required tax returns or paid all taxes due
since 1995. As a result of its failure to file franchise tax reports and pay
franchise taxes in New York for 1995 and 1997 through 2001, the Company was
dissolved by proclamation of the secretary of state of the state of New York on
June 27, 2002. Under New York's Tax Law, a company dissolved by proclamation may
file in the department of state a certificate of consent of the commissioner of
taxation and finance and, if the commissioner finds that all fees, taxes,
penalties and interest charges have been paid, the commissioner may grant such
consent and the dissolution is thereby effectively annulled. The Company is in
the process of making all required filings and paying all fees, taxes, penalties
and interest charges due to the state of New York in order to reinstate the
Company. Until such reinstatement, the Company is prohibited from conducting any
business. In addition, while the Company does not believe that any federal
income taxes were due for the years 1996 to 2001, the Company intends to file
the required federal income tax returns for such years and pay any amounts that
may be found to be owing for such periods.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted during the year to a vote of the security
holders of the Company through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
With respect to the Company's financial information set forth in this
Annual Report relating to December 31, 2000 and 1999, the financial statements
are presented on a liquidation basis. The Company has not conducted any business
operations since the sale of AUSA on June 30, 1996. All activities of the
Company after such date related principally to the liquidation of the AVP assets
by the receiver and the sale of the Ft. Collins plant.
The Company did not conduct any business operations in the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, and, accordingly, no comparisons have
been made between the 2000 and 1999 or the 1999 and 1998 fiscal years.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At June 30, 1996 (cessation of operations), the Company had cash and a
capital deficiency of $0 and $4,834,000, respectively.
At December 31, 2000 and at present, the Company lacks the liquidity to
carry on any business activities. The Company has virtually no assets and no
capital resources. Effective June 30, 1996, the Company ceased all business
operations with the sale of AUSA to Apotex. All activities of the Company after
such date related principally to the liquidation by the receiver of the AVP
assets and the sale of the Ft. Collins plant. Apotex, the Company's principal
stockholder, is currently considering various business alternatives relating to
the Company, including, but not limited to, commencing new business operations,
dissolving the Company or seeking an interested investor for a sale of its stock
holdings in the Company. There can be no assurance that Apotex will pursue any
of these or other alternatives relating to the Company or, even if it does, that
such efforts will be successful.
Historically, while the Company was engaged in operations, it was
dependent on Apotex for financing. At September 1996, after the sale of AUSA to
Apotex, the Company was indebted to Apotex in the amount of approximately
$4,400,000. Since 1996, the Company has not made any payments to Apotex on this
debt. Apotex has not charged interest on the indebtedness and has not instituted
any legal proceedings for collection. It is not expected that Apotex will
advance any additional funds to the Company and the Company presently has no
available financing alternatives. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, the
costs and expenses related to the preparation and filing of this Annual Report
(including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees) and the other
Exchange Act reports being filed by the Company in an effort to comply with the
Exchange Act, will be paid by Apotex. It is not expected that Apotex will charge
the Company for such expenses.
In connection with the Merger in 1995, the Company and Apotex had entered
into lending arrangements under the Loan Agreement dated April 13, 1995. Apotex
lent the Company $500,000 in the form of a term loan and $2,000,000 in the form
of a revolving loan. Both loans were evidenced by promissory notes and would
have matured April 13, 1998. The Company borrowed the entire $2,500,000. These
loans bore interest at the rate of 1% over prime. Interest was payable on the
first business day of each March, June, September and December, and the Company
failed to pay certain accrued and unpaid interest when due. The Company secured
repayment of these amounts by all of the
8
assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including AVP's plant in Fort
Collins, Colorado. As additional consideration for the loans, the Company had
issued in favor of Apotex, warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at a
purchase price of $1 per share at the rate of one share for each dollar of loan
advanced. The warrants had a term of three years.
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to
amend the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in
its discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000 original loan amount
that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they had been
advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested additional
advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000 through December
31, 1995. The Company agreed that failure to repay the amounts when due would
constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The Company also issued to Apotex
a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783 shares of the Company's common stock
at an exercise price of $.75 per share in connection with the amendment. The
warrants had a term of three years.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was indebted to Apotex for an aggregate
of $3,563,000, including $447,000 of accounts payable converted to notes
pursuant to the amendment to the Loan Agreement. The Company's failure to pay
the amounts due December 22, 1995 constituted an Event of Default under the Loan
Agreement and Apotex, by a letter dated January 2, 1996, accelerated the entire
amount of indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries, which were jointly
and severally liable for the debt. As a result of the acceleration, on January
5, 1996, the Company turned over to Apotex all of the collateral securing the
loans under the Loan Agreement, as amended. The Company continued to receive
additional advances from Apotex in 1996 in the aggregate amount of $862,000. At
June 30, 1996, the Company was indebted to Apotex for an aggregate of $5,296,659
(before the sale of AUSA) including $747,423 of accounts payable converted to
notes pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as amended. The sale of AUSA reduced the
Company's indebtedness to Apotex by $1,000,000. At December 31, 2000, the
Company was indebted to Apotex in the amount of approximately $4,400,000.
On January 4, 1996, Apotex sought and received the appointment of a
receiver for AVP's Ft. Collins plant in a proceeding in Larimer County,
Colorado. The order permitted the receiver to exercise control over AVP's bank
accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. As a result of the November 29,
1995 amendment to the Loan Agreement and the appointment of a receiver, AVP
stopped receiving any cash proceeds from the Apotex loans. AVP subsequently
discontinued operations. See "Business-Discontinued Operations of AVP" above. In
addition, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as amended, accounts receivable of
AUSA were assigned to Apotex and collections thereof were deposited into the
bank accounts of Apotex. Apotex subsequently purchased all of the outstanding
capital stock of AUSA on July 1, 1996. See "Business-Sale of AUSA" above.
Although Apotex's acquisition of AUSA from the Company resulted in a reduction
of the Company's indebtedness in favor of Apotex, approximately $4,400,000 of
indebtedness remained outstanding after the sale of AUSA to Apotex.
The receiver liquidated all of AVP's assets and used the proceeds
therefrom for disposal of hazardous and other wastes at AVP's property and for
continued care of AVP's inventory and other payroll and non-payroll related
expenses. Upon final court order in September 1998, all cash remaining in the
court supervised account from the liquidation of the assets and other property
and/or settlement of liabilities, amounting to approximately $40,000, was paid
to Apotex. In addition, Apotex received $475,000 as a result of the sale of the
Ft. Collins plant to a third party in May 1997.

PART III.
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
Prior to May 1997, Jack H. Schramm, then 48, was sole Director of the
Company and Acting President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr.
Schramm had served as a Director of the Company since April 13, 1995 and as
Acting President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company since January 1996.
Mr. Schramm was a Director of Apotex, the Company's majority shareholder and
primary creditor, from 1993 to May 1997. From 1993 through January 1996, Mr.
Schramm was Executive Vice President of Apotex and from January 1996 to May
1997, President of Apotex. From 1991 to 1993, Mr. Schramm was a financial and
international marketing consultant to Genpharm, a Canadian pharmaceutical
company. From 1982 to 1990, Mr. Schramm was Senior Vice President of Joffee
Lasalle Company, a Manhattan commercial real estate firm.
On May 1, 1997, Jack Margareten, then Chief Financial Officer of the
Company and Apotex, replaced Mr. Schramm as sole Director and Acting President
of the Company and Apotex. Mr. Margareten has been Chief Financial Officer of
the Company and Apotex since April 1996. Mr. Margareten's services for the
Company have been performed on a part-time, as needed basis since the Company's
cessation of operations in June 1996. Since December 26, 1999, Mr. Margareten
has served in a full-time capacity as Chief Operating Officer of Fashion
Accessory Bazaar, LLC, a privately held company. Prior to such date, Mr.
Margareten was self-employed in personal investments.
ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
In December 1995, the Company discontinued the operations of AVP and laid
off its AVP employees. In June 1996, the Company sold AUSA to Apotex. As a
result, the Company has no business operations and does not employ any employees
or executive officers for compensation. Jack Margareten is Chief Financial
Officer and Acting President of the Company and, since the Company's cessation
of operations in June 1996, has been compensated by Apotex for any services
rendered on behalf of or for the Company. Such services and related compensation
have been minimal. Accordingly, there is no compensation table shown for the
fiscal years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 or 1998.
Employment Agreements:
The Company does not have any employment agreements.
10
Stock Option Grants in 2000:
None
Directors Compensation
Directors who are officers or employees of the Company are not compensated
and do not receive expense reimbursement for their service as a director.
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insiders Participation
None of the Company's executive officers has served on the Board of
Directors or on the Compensation Committee of any other entity, any of whose
officers served on the Board of Directors of the Company.
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
the Company's officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a
registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
copies of which are required by regulation to be furnished to the Company.
Based solely on review of the copies of such forms furnished to the
Company (if any), the Company believes that during fiscal 2000 its officers,
directors and ten percent (10%) beneficial owners complied with all Section
16(a) filing requirements.
PERFORMANCE GRAPH
The following graph provides a comparison on a cumulative basis of the
yearly percentage change over the five fiscal years ending with the fiscal year
ended December 31, 2000 in (a) the total Stockholder return on the Company's
Common Stock with (b) the total return on the Dow Jones Equity Market Index and
(c) the total return of the Dow Jones Pharmaceutical Index. Such yearly
percentage change has been measured by dividing (1) the sum of (A) the amount of
dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and (B)
the difference between the price per share at the end and at the beginning of
the measurement period, by (ii) the price per share at the beginning of the
measurement period. The comparisons are based on historical data and are not
intended to forecast the future performance of the Company's Common Stock

(1) Pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, beneficial ownership of a security consists of sole or shared
voting power (including the power to vote or direct the voting) and/or
sole or shared investment power (including the power to dispose or direct
the disposition) with respect to a security whether through a contract,
arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise. Unless otherwise

aggregate of 270,000 shares subject to warrants (exercisable at $1.50 per
share) granted to 12 persons
12
who were employees of or consultants to Apotex at April 12, 1995, the date
of the Merge. None of these warrants were exercised and all of these
warrants were either cancelled or have expired by their terms.
(3) John Toedtman served as President of the Company and each of its
subsidiaries from April 13, 1995 through January 8, 1996, and as a
director of the Company, AVP and Collins for each of 1995 and 1994.
Effective January 8, 1996, Mr. Toedtman resigned from all capacities
served with the Company.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On April 13, 1995, the Merger of GEN/Rx, Inc.'s newly formed wholly-owned
subsidiary, GEN/Rx Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., with and into AUSA was
consummated. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired all the assets of
AUSA, a company engaged in the distribution of injectable drugs to the hospital
market. AUSA was a subsidiary of Apotex. As part of the Merger transaction, the
Company issued to Apotex 15,353,840 shares of its Common Stock. As a result,
Apotex became the owner of approximately seventy four (74%) percent of the
outstanding Common Stock of the Company. In addition, warrants to purchase
270,000 shares of common stock of GEN/Rx for $1.50 per share were issued to
various individuals in connection with the Merger.
Since the former shareholders of AUSA own 74% of GEN/Rx, Inc., the
transaction was accounted for as if AUSA acquired the net assets of GEN/Rx for
the previously issued and outstanding shares of GEN/Rx.
In connection with the Merger, pursuant to the Loan Agreement dated April
13, 1995 between the Company and Apotex, Apotex lent the Company $500,000
represented by a Term Note dated April 13, 1995 and $2,000,000 represented by a
revolving line of credit note dated April 13, 1995. The notes bore interest at
1% over prime and would have matured on April 13, 1998. These notes were secured
by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including AVP's Ft.
Collins plant. As additional consideration for the loans, Apotex received
warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock in an amount equal to one share for each dollar advanced pursuant
to the Loan Agreement. The warrants had a term of three years. The Company
borrowed the entire $2,500,000 pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to
amend the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in
its discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000 original loan
amount, that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they
had been advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested
additional advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000
through December 31, 1995. The Company agreed that failure to repay the amounts
when due would constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The Company also
issued to Apotex a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783 shares of the
Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.75 per share in connection with
the amendment. The warrants had a term of three years.
The Company's failure to pay the amounts due December 22, 1995 constituted
an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and by letter dated January 2,
1996, Apotex accelerated the entire amount of indebtedness of the Company and
its subsidiaries, which were jointly and severally liable for the debt. As a
result of the acceleration, on January 5, 1996, the Company turned over to
Apotex all of
13
the collateral securing the loans under the Loan Agreement. The Company
continued to receive additional advances from Apotex in 1996 in the aggregate
amount of $862,000.
On January 4, 1996, Apotex sought and received the appointment of a
receiver for the Ft. Collins plant in a proceeding in Larimer County, Colorado.
The order permitted the receiver to exercise control over AVP's bank accounts,
accounts receivable and inventory. As a result of the November 29, 1995
amendment to the Loan Agreement and the appointment of a receiver, AVP stopped
receiving any cash proceeds from the Apotex loans. AVP subsequently discontinued
operations. In addition, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as amended, accounts
receivable of AUSA were assigned to Apotex and collections thereof were
deposited into the bank accounts of Apotex. On June 30, 1996, Apotex purchased
from the Company at an auction all of the outstanding shares of AUSA for $1
million. On January 13, 1997, AVP conveyed the Ft. Collins plant to Apotex in
lieu of foreclosure proceedings.
Apotex did not charge interest and the Company did not incur any interest
expense on the Apotex loans for the years ended December 31, 2000 and December
31, 1999.
Since the Company's cessation of operations in June 1996, Jack Margareten,
the Company's Chief Financial Officer and Acting President, has been compensated
by Apotex for any services rendered or out of pocket expenses incurred on behalf
of or for the Company. Such services and related compensation have been minimal.
It is not expected that Apotex will charge the Company for such expenses.

GEN/RX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Gen/Rx, Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of net assets
(liquidation basis) of Gen/Rx, Inc. and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2000
and 1999 and the related consolidated statements of changes in net assets
(liquidation basis) for the years then ended. 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 audit 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.
As described in Note A to the financial statements, the Company sold its
remaining operating subsidiary in an auction and, effective July 1, 1996, the
Company reports on a liquidation basis of accounting for periods subsequent to
June 30, 1996.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements enumerated above present
fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated net assets (in liquidation)
as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 and consolidated changes in net assets (in
liquidation) for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2000
NOTE A - THE COMPANY
Gen/Rx, Inc. ("GEN/Rx"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries AUSA, Inc.
("AUSA") and American Veterinary Products Inc. ("AVP"), was formerly engaged in
the distribution of generic pharmaceutical products and veterinary products.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AUSA, and from
April 13, 1995, its parent GEN/Rx, and AVP. References herein to the "Company"
refer to AUSA, Gen/Rx and AVP, collectively.
[1] AUSA:
On July 1, 1996, pursuant to an auction Gen/Rx sold its shares of the
capital stock of AUSA in exchange for forgiveness of $1 million on
indebtedness owed to Apotex USA Inc. ("Apotex"), a Delaware corporation,
the Company's principal shareholder and principal creditor.
Although Apotex's acquisition of AUSA from the Company resulted in a
reduction of the Company's indebtedness in favor of Apotex, approximately
$4 million of indebtedness remained outstanding after the sale.
[2] AVP:
In connection with an inspection of its manufacturing facility from
October 1994 through May 1995 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
("FDA"), AVP received a "warning letter" from the Denver District Office
of the FDA setting forth certain alleged deviations from current good
manufacturing practice regulations and alleged violations of related
provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
In June 1995, following management's investigation of the matters set
forth in the warning letter, management suspended the manufacture of
products indefinitely. In December 1995, management decided to discontinue
the operations of AVP. AVP was put into receivership in January 1996 by
Apotex, its principal secured creditor.
The receiver liquidated all of AVP's assets and used the proceeds
therefrom for disposal of hazardous and other wastes at AVP's property and
for continued care of AVP's inventory. Upon final court order, after all
liabilities of the receivership were paid, all remaining cash, amounting
to approximately $40,000 was paid to Apotex.
[3] Basis of presentation:
On July 1, 1996, the Company has adopted the liquidation basis of
accounting. Accordingly, the net assets of the Company at December 31,
1997 are stated at liquidation value, whereby assets are stated at their
estimated net realizable values and liabilities, which include estimated
liquidation expenses to be incurred through the date of final dissolution
of the Company, are stated at their anticipated settlement amounts.

December 31, 2000
NOTE B - NOTES PAYABLE - APOTEX
On January 2, 1996, Apotex, the majority shareholder and primary creditor of the
Company, accelerated approximately $3,500,000 of the outstanding indebtedness of
the Company in favor of Apotex. The Company had failed to pay Apotex
approximately $1,000,000 of indebtedness when it was due on December 22, and, as
a result, after a 10-day grace period, the Company's failure to pay that amount
constituted an Event of Default under the existing lending arrangements between
the Company, as borrower, and Apotex.
The Company and Apotex had entered into these lending arrangements under a loan
agreement dated April 13, 1995 (the "Loan Agreement"). At that date, Apotex
agreed to lend to the Company $500,000 in the form of a term loan and up to
$2,000,000 in the form of a revolving loan. Both loans were evidenced by
promissory notes and would have matured April 13, 1998. The Company has borrowed
the entire line of credit, and the aggregate indebtedness of $2,500,000 is
outstanding. These loans bore interest at the rate of 1% over prime. Interest
was payable on the first business day of each March, June, September and
December, and the Company failed to pay certain accrued and unpaid interest when
due.
The Company's repayment of these amounts was collateralized by all of the assets
of the Company, including AVP's plant in Fort Collins, Colorado. As additional
consideration for the loans, the Company had issued in favor of Apotex, warrants
to purchase the Company's common stock at a purchase price of $1 per share at
the rate of one share for each dollar of loan advanced. The warrants were
exercisable for a period of three years.
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to amend
the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in its
discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000 original loan amount,
that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they had been
advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested additional
advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000 through December
31, 1995. The Company also agreed that failure to repay the amounts when due
would constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The Company also issued to
Apotex a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783 shares of the Company's
common stock, par value $.004 per share, at an exercise price of $.75 per share
in connection with the amendment. The warrants had a term of three years.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was indebted to Apotex for an aggregate of
$3,563,000 including accounts payable converted to notes pursuant to the
amendment of the loan agreement of $447,000. The Company received additional
advances from Apotex aggregating $862,000 in 1996. The Company's defaults
constituted events of default under the Loan Agreement and Apotex USA
accelerated the entire amount of indebtedness of the Company and its
subsidiaries, which are jointly and severally liable for the debt, by a letter
dated January 2, 1996, which required the Company to turn over to Apotex all of
the collateral on January 5, 1996.
Apotex sought and received the appointment of a receiver for AVP's plant in a
proceeding in Larimer County, Colorado, on January 4, 1996. The order permitted
the receiver to exercise control over AVP's bank accounts, accounts receivable
and inventory (see Note A). As a result
F-5
GEN/RX, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 2000
of the November 29 letter amendment to the Loan Agreement and the appointment of
a receiver, AVP stopped receiving any cash proceeds.
NOTE C - CAPITAL DEFICIT
Warrants:
Pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated April 13, 1995, as amended November 29, 1995;
as additional consideration for the loans, the Company was required to issue
Apotex warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of
one share for each dollar of loan advanced. Under the terms of the agreement,
Apotex received 2,500,000 warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share; 813,783
warrants exercisable at $.75 per share and as of December 31, 1995, 498,032
warrants exercisable at $.75 per share in 1996.
Also in connection with the Merger, the Company issued 270,000 warrants to
certain employees and consultants to Apotex, exercisable at $1.50 per share of
common stock. All of the warrants had a term of three years.
NOTE D - INCOME TAXES
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the
change of ownership of the Company which occurred in 1996 (see Note A) curtails
in all material respects the ability of the Company to carry forward previously
generated net operating losses.
