NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

January 31, 2012

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of the Company’s financial statements in conformity with US GAAP necessarily 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 balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. Operating results for the three and nine month periods ended January 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2012. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2011 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

3. REVENUE RECOGNITION:

Revenue is recognized for product sales upon shipment and passing of title and risk of loss to the customer and when estimates of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks, and other potential adjustments are reasonably determinable, collection is reasonably assured and the Company has no further performance obligations. These estimates are presented in the financial statements as reductions to net revenues and accounts receivable. Contract research income is recognized as work is completed and as billable costs are incurred. In certain cases, contract research income is based on attainment of designated milestones. Advance payments may be received to fund certain development costs.

Royalty income is related to sales of divested products which are sold by third parties. For those agreements, the Company recognizes revenue based on royalties reported by those third parties and earned during the applicable period.

4. NET INCOME PER SHARE:

Basic income from continuing operations per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and on the weighted average number of common shares and share equivalents (stock options) outstanding for diluted earnings from continuing operations per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted net earnings from continuing operations per share does not include the effect of potentially outstanding common stock whose effect would have been antidilutive. Such outstanding potential shares consisted of options totaling 0 shares for the three months and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 226,000 shares for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2011.

Intangible assets are stated at cost, net of amortization using the straight line method over the expected useful lives of the product rights, once the related products begin to sell. Amortization expense of the intangible assets for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3,723,000 and $1,940,000, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,548,000 and $676,000, respectively. Amortization is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for all periods presented. The Company tests for impairment of intangible assets annually and when events or circumstances indicate that the

carrying value of the assets may not be recoverable. During the nine months ended January 31, 2011, the Company determined that the value of Tanafed®, which is included in other intangible assets, was impaired. The Company wrote down the value of the intangible asset by $221,000. As of January 31, 2012 the Tanafed® intangible asset was fully amortized.

On June 28, 2011, the Company acquired marketing and distribution rights to several unique branded products for the treatment of pain from Atley Pharmaceuticals. Some products are approved and some are pending approval with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The Company paid $3,220,000 in cash for rights to the products and inventory. Inventory acquired was valued at $248,000. The Company agreed to pay an additional $355,000 within 180 days, less any amount which has been offset by certain claims. The Company will pay royalties for certain of these products under a license agreement it has assumed. In July 2011, the Company exercised its option to buy out one of the royalty streams related to one of the products for the amount of $500,000, which was paid in August 2011. Such amount has been presented as prepaid royalties.

On July 29, 2011, the Company acquired marketing and distribution rights to an ANDA filing from KVK-Tech, Inc. for dexbrompheniramine maleate 6mg/pseudoephedrine sulfate 120 mg extended release tablets for $2,000,000. Upon approval from the FDA, the product will be marketed by ECR Pharmaceuticals, the Company’s branded sales and marketing subsidiary, under the Lodrane® brand name.

On August 19, 2011, the Company acquired Tussicaps® extended-release capsules and some inventory from Mallinckrodt LLC (“Mallinckrodt”). The Company paid $11,600,000 in cash and may make additional payments of up to $11,781,000 over the next four years depending on the competitive landscape and sales performance. On the acquisition date, the Company had recorded a preliminary contingent liability of $11,993,000, which was adjusted to $11,189,000 during the third quarter of fiscal 2012, with the reduction of the contingent liability being offset by a reduction of the related intangible. The fair value of the contingent payment was estimated using the present value of management’s projection of the expected payments pursuant to the term of the agreement. As of January 31, 2012, the contingent payment liability amounted to $10,679,000, of which $2,875,000 is classified as a current liability. The decrease in the carrying amount was the result of payment made, offset by the accrual of interest on the outstanding balance. Inventory acquired was valued at $664,000. Tussicaps® is covered by a patent which will expire in September 2024. The Company and Mallinckrodt entered into a manufacturing agreement pursuant to which Mallinckrodt will manufacture and supply the Tussicaps® products to the Company for at least seven years.

On November 28, 2011, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement to acquire an ANDA for a product and all product intellectual property. The purchase price of the ANDA and interest in the intellectual property is up to $3,000,000, under certain conditions and is payable in installments over twenty four months. In connection with this asset purchase, the Company has entered into a collaboration agreement and profit sharing agreement with another party. The Company and the other party will each own 50% of the product and will each pay equal amounts in satisfaction of the purchase price obligation. The other party will also pay 50% of the development costs and share in 50% of the net profits. The Company made an initial payment of $375,000 on November 29, 2011. The Company has the right to terminate this agreement at any time and not pay subsequent installments. Upon termination by the Company, all interests in the assets acquired will be transferred back to the seller.

8. LONG-TERM DEBT:

The Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement, effective as of June 1, 2010, with JPMorgan Chase (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement permits the Company to borrow up to $10,000,000 pursuant to a revolving credit note (“Revolving Credit Note”) for, among other things within certain sublimits, general corporate purposes, acquisitions, research and development projects and future stock repurchase programs. Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, in the case of a CB Floating Rate Loan, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Prime Rate, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement; provided that, the CB Floating Rate shall never be less than the Adjusted One Month LIBOR, or for a LIBOR Loan, at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, as such terms are defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants customary for agreements of this type, including covenants relating to a liquidity ratio, a debt service coverage ratio and a minimum consolidated net income. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement mature on May 27, 2013.

If an event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement shall occur and be continuing, the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing under the Revolving Credit Agreement and related loan documents, may be declared immediately due and payable.

As of January 31, 2012, there were no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Company entered into a $5,000,000 equipment financing agreement with JPMorgan Chase on June 1, 2010. Loans bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, in the case of a CB Floating Rate Loan, as defined in the agreement, the Prime Rate, as defined in the agreement; provided that, the CB Floating Rate shall never be less than the Adjusted One Month LIBOR, or for a LIBOR Loan, at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, as such terms are defined in the agreement.

June 15, 2010 the Company drew down $621,000 of the equipment financing line to fund a down payment for new filling and packaging equipment. On October 13, 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $1,155,000 to finance the remaining payments for the equipment. Total borrowings under the equipment financing agreement amount to $1,687,000 as of January 31, 2012. Borrowings under the equipment financing agreement mature on October 6, 2016 and require repayments in the amount of approximately $30,000 per month. In connection with this agreement, the Company has classified $355,000 as current portion of long-term debt.

9. FREIGHT EXPENSE:

Outgoing freight costs amounted to $3,399,000 and $2,552,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 and are included in selling, general, and administrative expense. Outgoing freight costs amounted to $1,357,000 and $914,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Incoming freight is included in cost of goods sold.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

GAAP requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, non-employee directors, and consultants, including employee stock options. Stock compensation expense based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of GAAP is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period.

For stock options granted as consideration for services rendered by non-employees, the Company recognizes compensation expense in accordance with the requirements of the applicable accounting guidance.

Non-employee option grants that do not vest immediately upon grant are recorded as an expense over the vesting period of the underlying stock options. At the end of each financial reporting period prior to vesting, the value of these options, as calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, is re-measured using the fair value of the Company’s common stock and the non-cash compensation recognized during the period is adjusted accordingly. Since the fair market value of options granted to non-employees is subject to change in the future, the amount of the future compensation expense includes fair value re-measurements until the stock options are fully vested. During the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, there was no non-employee options outstanding.

The Company’s employee stock options are considered incentive stock options unless they do not meet the requirements for incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code. With incentive stock options, there is no tax deferred benefit associated with recording the stock-based compensation.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation for awards issued under the Company’s Stock Option Plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan in the following line items in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:

The Company has elected to use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, and interest rate. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The interest rates for periods within the contractual life of the award are based on the U.S. Treasury yield on the date of each option grant.

All options granted through January 31, 2012 had exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant, a contractual term of ten years and generally a vesting period of four years. In accordance with GAAP the Company adjusts share-based compensation on a quarterly basis for changes to the estimate of expected equity award forfeitures based on actual forfeiture experience. The effect of adjusting the forfeiture rate for all expense amortization after May 1, 2006 is recognized in the period the forfeiture estimate is changed. As of January 31, 2012, the weighted average forfeiture rate was 9% and the effect of forfeiture adjustments for the three and nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011 was insignificant. The Company did not grant any options during the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011.

The intrinsic value of options exercised for the Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan, the 2009 Stock Option Plan and the 1994 Directors Stock Option Plan, as amended was $8,381,000 and $1,368,000 for the nine month periods ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of January 31, 2012, $5,690,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options for both plans is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.5 years.

11. PRODUCT DIVESTITURES:

On July 3, 2009 the Company entered into an agreement whereby the Company has granted the marketing rights to certain nutritional products previously marketed by our division, Midlothian Laboratories (“Midlothian”), in exchange for a series of payments totaling $1,000,000 over the course of one year. In addition, the Company receives a royalty on the sales of these products, not to exceed $1,500,000 per year for three years ending June 30, 2012. Royalty income earned under this agreement amounted to $1,237,000 and $1,372,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company retained this royalty stream when it divested its Midlothian business.

Effective May 1, 2011, the Company divested Midlothian in exchange for a cash payment of $1,700,000. No gain or loss was recognized on the divesture as the Company had recorded an impairment charge of approximately $1,300,000 at April 30, 2011. The Company retained marketing and distribution rights to generic buprenorphine sublingual tablets, an ANDA that is filed with the FDA, an ANDA that is in development and a royalty stream from products previously divested, as discussed above. Metrics, Inc. acquired Midlothian from the Company.

The operations of Midlothian have been segregated from continuing operations and are reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:

12. INCOME TAXES:

The Company estimated its effective tax rate to be approximately 32% for the year ending April 30, 2012. The decline in the effective tax rate compared to the prior period is due to higher benefit from the domestic production activities tax credit and the exercise of stock options in the current period. On May 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, “Income Taxes” relating to recognition thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company has elected an accounting policy to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as interest expense. At January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011, the Company did not have any amount recorded for uncertain tax positions.

In July 2010, the Company paid approximately $160,000 to settle liabilities relating to the examination of the years ended April 30, 2004 and 2005. Such liabilities were accrued as of April 30, 2009. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examination for years ended prior to April 30, 2008.

13. CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS:

[1] Government regulation:

The Company’s products and facilities are subject to regulation by a number of Federal and State governmental agencies. The Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), in particular, maintains oversight of the formulation, manufacture, distribution, packaging and labeling of all of the Company’s products. The Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) maintains oversight over the Company’s products that are considered controlled substances.

On June 30, 2010, the Company received a warning letter from the FDA. The warning letter primarily dealt with the marketing of several products that the FDA states require FDA approval and manufacturing practices related to those products. The Company suspended sales of these products as a result of the warning letter. Sales of these products totaled approximately $5,000,000 in fiscal year 2010. In addition, the Company incurred an expense of $534,000 and $865,000 to write off the value of the inventory used in the manufacturing of these products in fiscal year 2011 and fiscal year 2010, respectively. The Company responded to the warning letter and has met with FDA officials to determine how best to resolve these issues. In November, 2010, the Company was the subject of an FDA inspection. The inspection was a follow up to the warning letter received June 30, 2010 as well as a general GMP inspection. The Company received a Form 483, an FDA form on which deficiencies are noted after an FDA inspection, with inspector observations. The Company responded to those observations and believes that its response to these observations was adequate.

On March 2, 2011, the FDA indicated in its MedWatch publication that the FDA removed approximately 500 currently marketed cough/cold and allergy related products including Lodrane® products. Three of these were marketed by ECR Pharmaceuticals under the brand name Lodrane®. ECR Pharmaceuticals stopped shipping these products as of August 31, 2011. Sales of Lodrane® products amounted to approximately $2,800,000 and $11,800,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Table of Contents

On October 3, 2011 through October 19, 2011, the Company was subject to an inspection by the FDA. The inspection resulted in seven observations on Form 483, an FDA form on which deficiencies are noted after an FDA inspection, with inspector observations. The Company responded to those observations on November 7, 2011 and believes that its response to these observations was adequate.

[2] Legal Proceedings:

On March 19, 2010, Midlothian received a subpoena duces tecum demanding production of Midlothian business records in connection with an investigation by the Office of Inspector General of the United States Department of Health & Human Services relating to Medicare or Medicaid reimbursement for certain drugs. The Company has produced documents in response to the subpoena. No claims for damages have been made. The Company has no estimate at this time of its potential exposure and cannot, at this time, predict the outcome of this matter.

On March 5, 2010 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, a complaint was filed naming the Company and several pharmaceutical and other companies as defendants under the qui tam provisions of the federal civil False Marketing Statute. A private plaintiff, San Francisco Technology Inc., filed the civil action under the Statute on behalf of the federal government. The complaint alleges that the Company falsely marked the packaging of a product with regard to patents that had expired. The product was marketed by the Company’s Health Care Products Division under the Zostrix® Neuropathy brand. The complaint alleged these actions violated the federal civil False Marketing Statute. The Company settled for an immaterial amount and the case was dismissed with prejudice on July 21, 2011.

On February 9, 2010, in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts (the “Federal District Court”), a “Partial Unsealing Order” was issued and unsealed in a civil case naming several pharmaceutical companies as defendants under the qui tam provisions of the federal civil False Claims Act (the “Qui Tam Complaint”). The qui tam provisions permit a private person, known as a “relator” (sometimes referred to as a “whistleblower”), to file civil actions under this statute on behalf of the federal and state governments. Pursuant to the Order, a Revised Corrected Seventh Amended Complaint was filed by the relator and unsealed on February 10, 2010. The relator in the Complaint is Constance A. Conrad. The Complaint alleges that several pharmaceutical companies submitted false records or statements to the United States through the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and thereby caused false claims for payments to be made through state Medicaid Reimbursement programs for unapproved or ineffective drugs or for products that are not drugs at all. The Complaint alleges that the drugs were “New Drugs” that the FDA had not approved and that are expressly excluded from the definition of “Covered Outpatient Drugs”, which would have rendered them eligible for Medicaid reimbursement. The Complaint alleges these actions violate the federal civil False Claims Act. The Revised Corrected Seventh Amended Complaint did not name the Company as a defendant.

On February 9, 2010, the Court also unsealed the “United States’ Notice of Partial Declination” in which the government determined not to intervene against 68 named defendants, including the Company. On July 23, 2010, the relator further amended the Complaint, which, as amended, named the Company, including a subsidiary of the Company, as a defendant. On January 6, 2011, the Court issued an order unsealing the government’s notice of election to intervene as to a previously unnamed defendant. On July 25, 2011, the Court issued an order stating, among other things, that all parties agreed that the only defendant against whom the United States has elected to intervene is the previously unnamed defendant. On July 26, 2011, the relator filed its Tenth Amended Complaint, which removed the allegations against the Company’s subsidiary, but not the Company, realleging them against another party. The Company intends to vigorously defend against the remaining allegations in the relator’s Complaint. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the action.

On June 5, 2009, Allergan, Inc. (“Allergan”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Civil Action No. 2:09-cv-182, in response to the Company’s Paragraph IV certifications in ANDA No. 91-086 (the “ANDA”) alleging noninfringement or invalidity of the United States patents identified in the Orange Book on Allergan’s product, Combigan®. In counts one and two of the complaint, Allergan alleges that the Company’s submission of the ANDA to the FDA under Section 505(j) of the Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”) to obtain approval to engage in the commercial manufacture, use or sale of the Company’s generic Brimonidine Tartrate/Timolol Maleate Ophthalmic Solution 0.2%/0.5% product infringes U.S. Patents No. 7,030,149 and 7,320,976. The Company settled with Allergan on May 20, 2011 without incurring a liability payment and the case was dismissed with prejudice on May 31, 2011.

On August 17, 2011, Allergan and Duke University filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina in response to the Company’s Paragraph IV certifications in its ANDA for Bimatoprost Topical Solution 0.03%, alleging infringement of U.S Patents Nos. 7,351,404; 7,388,029; and 6,403,649 for Allergan’s product, Latisse. On October 7, 2011, the Company answered the complaint asserting counterclaims. The plaintiffs responded to the counterclaims on October 31, 2011. The Company believes the complaint is without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations in the complaint. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the action.

14. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In May 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements and disclosure. The updated guidance clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement guidance to achieve a consistent definition of fair value between generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance also

Table of Contents

expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The updated guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB updated the disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amended its guidance on the testing of goodwill impairment to allow an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether performing the current two-step process is necessary. Under the new option, the calculation of the reporting unit’s fair value is not required unless as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the unit’s carrying amount. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance relating to offsetting assets and liabilities in financial statements. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

15. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 220-10, “Comprehensive Income,” the Company is required to report all changes in equity during a period, except those resulting from investment by owners and distribution to owners, for the period in which they are recognized. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and all other non-owner changes in equity (or other comprehensive income) such as unrealized gains/losses on securities classified as available for sale.

The Company’s investment in Neuro-Hitech, Inc., a marketable security, was classified as available for sale and measured at fair value with the adjustment to fair value and changes therein recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company wrote off the investment in Neuro-Hitech, Inc. during the year ended April 30, 2011 based on the decline in the stock price and the limited trading activity.

16. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

For the nine months ended January 31, 2012, three customers, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal Health, accounted for net sales of approximately 14%, 9% and 9%, respectively. These customers represented approximately 53% of accounts receivable at January 31, 2012. For the nine months ended January 31, 2011, two customers, AmerisourceBergen and McKesson, accounted for net sales of approximately 12% and 11%, respectively. These customers represented approximately 44% of accounts receivable at January 31, 2011.

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents primarily with major financial institutions. Such amounts exceed FDIC limits.

17. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The accounting guidance under ASC “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”) utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. A brief description of those levels is as follows:

 

   

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

   

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

 

   

Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs.

The Company’s financial liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of January 31, 2012 was as follows:

 

Fair Value Measurements Using Fair Value Hierarchy

 
     Fair Value      Level 3  

Contingent payment liability

   $ 10,679,000       $ 10,679,000   
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

The fair value of the contingent payment liability was estimated using the present value of management’s projection of the expected payments pursuant to the term of the Tussicaps® agreement (see Note 7). The present value of the contingent liability was computed using a discount rate of 5.2%.

The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature of their underlying terms. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximate its fair value based upon its variable market interest rates, which approximates current market interest.

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS:

On March 7, 2012, the Company acquired several homeopathic branded nasal spray products including Sinus Buster® and Allergy Buster® from Dynova Laboratories, Inc. for $1.25 million in cash and an additional $1.25 million deposited in an escrow account to pay for potential expenses. Hi-Tech will also pay a royalty on net sales for 3 1/2 years, or $1.75 million, whichever is reached first. The product line had net sales of $3.3 million in 2011. The brands will be sold through the Company’s Health Care Products OTC division.

Net sales of Hi-Tech generic pharmaceutical products, which include some private label contract manufacturing, increased due to an increase in sales of Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray. Sales of these products increased to $21,800,000 from $17,900,000 in the comparable quarter as the Company sold more units, but at a lower average price. In January 2012, a fourth participant entered the generic Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray market, increasing the likelihood of future price reductions for the product. Sales of Dorzolamide with Timolol ophthalmic solution and Dorzolamide ophthalmic solution dropped to $3,300,000 in the quarter versus $5,200,000 in the comparable quarter due to lower pricing for the products. The Company also benefited from the recent launch of Gabapentin oral solution, launched in February 2011, Ranitidine oral solution, launched in May 2011, Levofloxacin oral solution, launched in June 2011 and Lidocaine sterile jelly, launched in September 2011. Increased sales of the Company’s Clobetasol line of topical products and Buprenorphine also contributed to the results.

Net sales of the Health Care Products division, which markets the Company’s branded OTC products, increased slightly.

Net sales of ECR Pharmaceuticals, which sells branded prescription products, declined due to the discontinuation of Lodrane® extended release antihistamines. On March 2, 2011, the FDA indicated in its MedWatch publication that the FDA removed approximately 500 currently marketed cough/cold and allergy related products. Three of these were marketed by ECR Pharmaceuticals under the brand name Lodrane®. ECR Pharmaceuticals stopped shipping these products as of August 31, 2011. Sales of Lodrane® products amounted to approximately $0 and $4,900,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, respectively. Increased sales of Bupap® and Dexpak® and sales from newly acquired Tussicaps®, Orbivan® and Zolvit® partially offset the decrease in sales for the quarter.

The weak start to the cough and flu season affected all three businesses. Tussicaps® and Diabetic Tussin® are the largest selling products in ECR Pharmaceuticals and Health Care Products respectively. Sales of these products as well as several generic products were adversely affected by the season.

Effective May 1, 2011, the Company sold various assets of its Midlothian Laboratories division, and the sales from this business are included in discontinued operations.

The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to lower sales in the high margin ECR subsidiary as well as pricing declines for both Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray and Dorzolamide ophthalmic products.

   $ 4,938,000      $ 5,830,000      $ (892,000     (15 )% 

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased amortization associated with the acquisition of marketing and distribution rights to Tussicaps® extended-release capsules from Mallinckrodt and several branded products for the treatment of pain from Atley Pharmaceuticals. The ECR subsidiary also added 30 contract sales representatives to expand its sales force to new areas of the country. Additionally, the Company experienced increases in legal expenses and advertising in the HCP division.

The increase in Research and Development expenditures is due to increased spending on internal projects for the generic division, including an increase in the internal R&D staff. Additionally, the Company increased expenditures on three generic projects requiring clinical trials which it has undertaken with partners.

Royalty income decreased because royalties relating to Brometane, a cough and cold product which the Company divested in July 2008, ended in December 2010.

In the current period, interest income and other included money received for a New York state grant and recovery on certain receivables that were written off in a prior period.

The effective tax rate declined to approximately 31% from 35% as the Company recorded a higher benefit from the exercise of stock options in the current period.

Net sales of Hi-Tech generic pharmaceutical products, which include some private label contract manufacturing, increased due to an increase in sales of Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray. Sales of these products increased to $71,000,000 from $46,900,000 in the comparable period as the Company sold more units. In January 2012, a fourth participant entered the generic Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray market, increasing the likelihood of future price reductions for the product. Sales of Dorzolamide with Timolol ophthalmic solution and Dorzolamide ophthalmic solution dropped to $14,300,000 in the period versus $21,200,000 in the comparable period due to lower pricing for the products and lower unit volume. The Company halted sales of several unapproved products in late June 2010, so the nine months ended January 31, 2012 did not include any sales of these products. The Company also benefited from the recent launch of Gabapentin oral solution, launched in February 2011, Ranitidine oral solution, launched in May 2011, Levofloxacin oral solution, launched in June 2011 and Lidocaine sterile jelly, launched in September 2011. Increased sales of the Company’s Clobetasol line of topical products and Buprenorphine also contributed to the results.

Net sales of the Health Care Products division, which markets the Company’s branded OTC products, increased due to an increase in sales of Diabetiderm® and Muilt-betic® products as well as sales of the relaunched Nasal Ease® brand.

Net Sales of ECR Pharmaceuticals, which sells branded prescription products, declined due to the discontinuation of Lodrane® extended release antihistamines. On March 2, 2011, the FDA indicated in its MedWatch publication that the FDA removed approximately 500 currently marketed cough/cold and allergy related products. Three of these were marketed by ECR Pharmaceuticals under the brand name Lodrane®. ECR Pharmaceuticals stopped shipping these products as of August 31, 2011. Sales of Lodrane® products amounted to approximately $2,800,000 and $11,800,000 for the nine months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, respectively. Increased sales of Bupap® and Dexpak® and sales from newly acquired Tussicaps®, Orbivan® and Zolvit® partially offset the decrease in sales for the period.

The weak start to the cough and flu season affected all three businesses. Tussicaps® and Diabetic Tussin® are the largest selling products in ECR Pharmaceuticals and Health Care Products respectively. Sales of these products as well as several generic products were adversely affected by the season.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased amortization associated with the acquisition of marketing and distribution rights to Tussicaps® extended-release capsules from Mallinckrodt and several branded products for the treatment of pain from Atley Pharmaceuticals. The ECR subsidiary also added 30 contract sales representatives to expand its sales force to new areas of the country. Additionally, the Company experienced increases in legal expenses and advertising in the HCP division.

The increase in Research and Development expenditures is due to increased spending on internal projects for the generic division, including an increase in the internal R&D staff. Additionally, the Company increased expenditures on three generic projects requiring clinical trials which it has undertaken with partners.

Royalty income decreased because royalties relating to Brometane, a cough and cold product which the Company divested in July 2008, ended in December 2010.

In the current period, interest income and other included money received for a New York state grant and recovery on certain receivables that were written off in a prior period.

The effective tax rate declined to 32% from 34% as the Company recorded a higher benefit from the domestic production activities tax credit and the exercise of stock options in the current period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s operations are historically financed principally by cash flow from operations. At January 31, 2012 and April 30, 2011, working capital was approximately $159,328,000 and $132,135,000, respectively, an increase of $27,193,000 during the nine months ended January 31, 2012.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $27,378,000 which is primarily due to net income in the period and a decrease in accounts receivable. The decrease in accounts receivable was primarily due to timing of sales at the end of the April 30, 2011 quarter. This trend was partially offset by an increase in inventory. A significant portion of the increase in inventory is due to a buildup of Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray in anticipation of the spring allergy season.

Table of Contents

Cash flows used in investing activities were $21,975,000 and were mostly for acquisition of marketing and distribution rights of new branded products and for capital expenditures primarily related to capacity expansion at the Company’s Amityville facilities. Additionally, the Company paid $1,042,000 for land and a building which the Company intends to use as a new research and development facility.

Cash flows provided by financing activities of $6,457,000 related to the proceeds from exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits and borrowings from the equipment financing agreement.

The Company believes that its financial resources consisting of current working capital and anticipated future operating revenue will be sufficient to enable it to meet its working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. Additionally, the Company has a $10,000,000 revolving line of credit with JPMorgan Chase which remains undrawn, and an additional $3,313,000 of the equipment financing line from JPMorgan Chase. The revolving line of credit agreement expires May 27, 2013, while borrowings under the equipment line mature October 6, 2016.

Subsequent to July 31, 2011, in connection with the TussiCaps® acquisition, the Company failed to comply with certain covenants limiting the dollar amount of acquisitions, contained in one of its financing agreements with JPMorgan Chase. Hi-Tech’s breach of those covenants resulted in the Company being in technical default of both financing agreements, which gave the lender rights to call all outstanding debts under the financing agreements due and payable and to terminate its credit commitment. The lender granted waivers for the breach of these covenants.

REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY

The Company entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement, effective as of June 1, 2010, with JPMorgan Chase (the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement permits the Company to borrow up to $10,000,000 pursuant to a revolving credit note (“Revolving Credit Note”) for, among other things within certain sublimits, general corporate purposes, acquisitions, research and development projects and future stock repurchase programs. Loans shall bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, in the case of a CB Floating Rate Loan, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement, the Prime Rate, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement; provided that, the CB Floating Rate shall never be less than the Adjusted One Month LIBOR, or for a LIBOR Loan, at a rate equal to the Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin, as such terms are defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants customary for agreements of this type, including covenants relating to a liquidity ratio, a debt service coverage ratio and a minimum consolidated net income. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement mature on May 27, 2013.

If an event of default under the Revolving Credit Agreement shall occur and be continuing, the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be terminated and the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing under the Revolving Credit Agreement and related loan documents, may be declared immediately due and payable.

The Company also entered into a $5,000,000 equipment financing agreement with JPMorgan Chase on June 1, 2010. This agreement has similar interest rates. On June 15, 2010 the Company drew down $621,000 of the equipment financing line to fund a down payment for new filling and packaging equipment. On October 13, 2011, the Company borrowed an additional $1,155,000 to finance the remaining payments for the equipment. Total borrowings under the equipment financing agreement amount to $1,687,000 as of January 31, 2012. Borrowings under the equipment financing agreement are payable in monthly installments of $30,000 through October 6, 2016.

The Company may not declare or pay dividends or distributions, other than dividends payable solely in capital stock, so long as the Revolving Credit Note remains unpaid.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In May 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance relating to fair value measurements and disclosure. The updated guidance clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement guidance to achieve a consistent definition of fair value between generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and International Financial Reporting Standards. The guidance also expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. The updated guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2012. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In June 2011, the FASB updated the disclosure requirements for comprehensive income. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. The updated guidance does not affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, which amended its guidance on the testing of goodwill impairment to allow an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether performing the current two-step process is necessary. Under the new option, the calculation of the reporting unit’s fair value is not required unless as a result of the qualitative assessment, it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the unit’s carrying amount. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard will not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In December 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance relating to offsetting assets and liabilities in financial statements. The updated guidance requires companies to disclose both gross and net information about both instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. The updated guidance is effective for the Company beginning in the third quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

SEASONALITY

The Company’s largest selling product is Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray, an allergy medication. Sales of Fluticasone Propionate vary from quarter to quarter due to the stronger demand for the product during the spring and fall allergy seasons. The Company also sells cough, cold and flu products which have historically experienced stronger net sales in September through March. The cough, cold and flu season in the late 2011 and early 2012 period was particularly mild. Allergy seasons and cough, cold and flu seasons vary from year to year and because of these changes in product mix and product seasonality, period-to-period comparisons within the same fiscal year are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied on as indicative of future results.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and revenues and expenses for the reporting period covered thereby. As a result, these estimates are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty. We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience, the terms of existing contracts, our observance of trends in the industry, information that we obtain from our customers and outside sources, and on various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments which impact our reported operating results and the carrying values of assets and liabilities. These assumptions include but are not limited to the percentage of new products which may have chargebacks and the percentage of items which will be subject to price decreases. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition and accounts receivable, adjustments for returns and price adjustments, allowance for doubtful accounts and carrying value of inventory represent significant estimates made by management.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable: Revenue is recognized for product sales upon shipment and when title and risk of loss is passed to the customer and when estimates of discounts, rebates, promotional adjustments, price adjustments, returns, chargebacks,

Table of Contents

and other potential adjustments are reasonably determinable, collection is reasonably assured and the Company has no further performance obligations. These estimates are presented in the financial statements as reductions to net revenues and accounts receivable. Estimated sales returns, allowances and discounts are provided for in determining net sales. Contract research income is recognized as work is completed and billable costs are incurred. In certain cases, contract research income is based on attainment of designated milestones.

Royalty income is related to the sale or use of our products under license agreements with third parties. For those agreements where royalties are reasonably estimable, the Company recognizes revenue based on estimates of royalties earned during the applicable period.

Adjustments for Returns and Price Adjustments: Our product revenues are typically subject to agreements with customers allowing chargebacks, rebates, rights of return, pricing adjustments and other allowances. Based on our agreements and contracts with our customers, we calculate adjustments for these items when we recognize revenue and we book the adjustments against accounts receivable and revenue. Chargebacks, primarily from wholesalers, are the most significant of these items. Chargebacks result from arrangements we have with retail customers establishing prices for products for which the end user independently selects a wholesaler from which to purchase. A chargeback represents the difference between our invoice price to the wholesaler, which is typically stated at wholesale acquisition cost, and the end customer’s contract price, which is lower. We credit the wholesaler for purchases by end customers at the lower price. Therefore, we record these chargebacks at the time we recognize revenue in connection with our sales to wholesalers.

The reserve for chargebacks is computed in the following manner. The Company obtains wholesaler inventory data for the wholesalers which represent approximately 95% of our chargeback activity. This inventory is multiplied by the historical percentage of units that are charged back and by the price adjustment per unit to arrive at the chargeback accrual. This calculation is performed by product for each customer.

The calculated amount of chargebacks could be affected by other factors such as:

 

   

A change in retail customer mix

 

   

A change in negotiated terms with retailers

 

   

Product sales mix at the wholesaler

 

   

Retail inventory levels

 

   

Changes in Wholesale Acquisition Cost (WAC)

The Company continually monitors the chargeback activity and adjusts the provisions for chargebacks when we believe that the actual chargebacks will differ from our original provisions.

Consistent with industry practice, the Company maintains a return policy that allows our customers to return product within a specified period. The Company’s estimate for returns is based upon its historical experience with actual returns. While such experience has allowed for reasonable estimation in the past, history may not always be an accurate indicator of future returns. The Company continually monitors its estimates for returns and makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns may differ from the established accruals.

Included in the adjustment for sales allowances and returns is a reserve for credits taken by our customers for rebates, return authorizations and other.

Sales discounts are granted for prompt payment. The reserve for sales discounts is based on invoices outstanding and assumes that 100% of available discounts will be taken.

Price adjustments, including shelf stock adjustments, are credits issued from time to time to reflect decreases in the selling prices of our products which our customer has remaining in its inventory at the time of the price reduction. Decreases in our selling prices are discretionary decisions made by us to reflect market conditions. Amounts recorded for estimated price adjustments are based upon specified terms with direct customers, estimated launch dates of competing products, estimated declines in market price and inventory held by the customer. The Company analyzes this on a case by case basis and makes adjustments to reserves as necessary.

The Company adequately reserves for chargebacks, discounts, allowances and returns in the period in which the sales takes place. No material amounts included in the provision for chargebacks and the provision for sales discounts recorded in the current period relate to sales made in the prior periods. The current provision for sales allowances and returns includes reserves for items sold in the current period, while the ending balance includes reserves for items sold in the current and prior periods. The Company has substantially and consistently used the same estimating methods. We continue to refine the methods as new data becomes available. There have been no material differences between the estimates applied and actual results.

The Company determines amounts that are material to the financial statements in consideration of all relevant circumstances including quantitative and qualitative factors. Among the items considered is the impact on individual financial statement classification, operating income and footnote disclosures and the degree of precision that is attainable in estimating judgmental items.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: We have historically provided credit terms to customers in accordance with what management views as industry norms. Financial terms for credit-approved customers are generally on either a net 30 or 60 day basis, though most customers are entitled to a prompt payment discount. Management periodically and regularly reviews customer account activity in order to assess the adequacy of allowances for doubtful accounts, considering factors such as economic conditions and each customer’s payment history and creditworthiness. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, or if they were otherwise unable to make payments in accordance with management’s expectations, we would have to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventories: We state inventories at the lower of average cost or market, with cost being determined based upon the average method. In evaluating whether inventory is to be stated at cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand, estimated time required to sell existing inventory and expected market conditions, including levels of competition. We establish reserves for slow-moving and obsolete inventories based upon our historical experience, product expiration dates and management’s assessment of current product demand.

Intangible Assets: The Company’s intangible assets consist primarily of acquired product rights. Intangible assets are stated at cost and amortized using the straight line method over the expected useful lives of the product rights. We regularly review the appropriateness of the useful lives assigned to our product rights taking into consideration potential future changes in the markets for our products. The Company reviews each intangible asset with finite useful lives for impairment by comparing the undiscounted cash flows of each asset to the respective carrying value. The Company performs this impairment testing when events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the undiscounted cash flows of the asset below its carrying value.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

The Company’s contractual obligations and commitments are detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2011. As of January 31, 2012, the Company’s remaining contractual obligations have not materially changed since April 30, 2011.

As part of our ongoing business, we do not participate in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of January 31, 2012 we are not involved in any material unconsolidated transactions.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company invests in U.S. treasury notes, government asset backed securities and corporate bonds, all of which are exposed to interest rate fluctuations. The interest earned on these investments may vary based on fluctuations in the market interest rate.
