NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

October 31, 2012

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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 six month periods ended October 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending April 30, 2013. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended April 30, 2012 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.

2. BUSINESS:

Hi-Tech Pharmacal Co., Inc. (“Hi-Tech” or the “Company”, which may be referred to as “we”, “us” or “our”), a Delaware corporation, incorporated in April 1982, is a specialty pharmaceutical company developing, manufacturing and marketing generic and branded prescription and OTC products. The Company specializes in the manufacture of liquid and semi-solid dosage forms and produces a range of sterile ophthalmic, otic and inhalation products. The Company’s Health Care Products division is a developer and marketer of branded prescription and OTC products for the diabetes marketplace. Hi-Tech’s ECR Pharmaceuticals subsidiary markets branded prescription products.

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 net income 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 per share. The weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted net earnings 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 40,000 and 0 shares for the three and six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE:

We recognize revenue for product sales when title and risk of loss have transferred to our customers, when reliable estimates of rebates, chargebacks, returns and other adjustments can be made, and when collectability is reasonably assured. This is generally at the time that products are received by our direct customers. Upon recognizing revenue from a sale, we record estimates for chargebacks, rebates and incentive programs, product returns, cash discounts and other sales reserves that reduce accounts receivable.

At October 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012, accounts receivable balances, net of returns and allowances and allowance for doubtful accounts, are as follows:

   $ 67,158,000      $ 60,106,000   
  

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

(a) directly reduces gross revenue

Our product revenues are typically subject to agreements with customers allowing chargebacks, rebates, returns, 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 contract customers establishing prices for products for which the contract customer 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 contract customer’s contract price, which is lower. We credit the wholesaler for purchases by contract 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 by 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. 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 discounts.

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 take 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 provision for sales allowances and returns includes reserves for items sold in the current and prior periods. The Company has consistently used the same estimating methods. We have refined the methods as new data became available. There have been no material differences between the estimates applied and actual results.

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 six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 was $3,518,000 and $2,175,000, respectively. Amortization expense for the three months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 was $1,761,000 and $1,400,000, respectively. 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.

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 were approved at the time of acquisition and others were subsequently approved by 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 $298,000. The Company also paid an additional $200,000 for Orbivan® CF during the 2012 fiscal year and $100,000 for Orbivan® with Codeine during the six months ended October 31, 2012. 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 included in prepaid royalties. At October 31, 2012, $200,000 remained as prepaid royalties included in other current assets.

On July 29, 2011, the Company acquired marketing and distribution rights to an Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”) filing from KVK-Tech, Inc. for dexbrompheniramine maleate 6 mg/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. The agreement provided for certain amounts to be refunded to Hi-Tech if the product had not been approved by the FDA by certain dates. As of October 31, 2012, the Company had received refunds of $500,000; therefore, the intangible asset is presented at a $1,500,000 value. The product has not been approved, and the Company may receive further refunds of up to $500,000.

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 at the time of acquisition, has made through October 31, 2012 aggregate quarterly payments of $2,875,000 and may make additional payments of up to $9,625,000 over the next three 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 October 31, 2012, the contingent payment liability amounted to $8,927,000, of which $2,875,000 is classified as a current liability. The decrease in the carrying amount was the result of payments made, offset by the accrual of interest on the outstanding balance. 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 24 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.

Hi-Tech will also pay a 12% royalty on net sales for 3 1/2 years, or $1,750,000, whichever is reached first. The brands are being sold through the Company’s Health Care Products OTC division.

9. 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 October 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. 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 $1,421,000 as of October 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.

10. FREIGHT EXPENSE:

Outgoing freight costs amounted to $2,785,000 and $2,042,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are included in selling, general, and administrative expense. Outgoing freight costs amounted to $1,477,000 and $1,056,000 for the three months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Incoming freight is included in cost of goods sold.

11. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION:

US 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 US 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.

Table of Contents

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:

 

     Three months ended October 31,      Six months ended October 31,

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 United States Treasury yield on the date of each option grant. The expected term of options represents the period that the Company’s stock-based awards are expected to be outstanding and was determined based on historical experience and vesting schedules of similar awards.

All options granted through October 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 US 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 October 31, 2012, the weighted average forfeiture rate was 9% and the effect of forfeiture adjustments for the three and six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011 was insignificant. On July 16, 2012 the Company granted 442,000 options to directors and employees for an exercise price of $32.59. Additionally, the Company granted 2,500 employee options on August 1, 2012 for an exercise price of $33.00. The Company did not grant any options during the six months ended October 31, 2011.

The following weighted average assumptions were used for the stock options granted during the six months ended October 31, 2012:

 

     July 16, 2012     August 1, 2012  

Dividend yield

     None        None   

Expected volatility

     54     54

Risk-free interest rate

Expected term

     4.00        4.00   

Weighted average fair value per share at grant date

   $ 13.62      $ 13.79   

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 $4,538,000 and $1,822,000 for the six month periods ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. As of October 31, 2012, $9,407,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options for both plans is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.9 years.

12. 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 received a royalty on the sales of these products, not to exceed $1,500,000 per year for three years ended June 30, 2012. Royalty income earned under this agreement amounted to $54,000 and $685,000 for the six months ended October 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.

13. INCOME TAXES:

The Company estimated its effective tax rate to be approximately 32% for the year ending April 30, 2013. The decline in the effective tax rate compared to the prior period is due to a 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 October 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012, the Company did not have any amount recorded for uncertain tax positions. The Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state or local income tax examination for years ended prior to April 30, 2008.

14. 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 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 $0 and $2,800,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

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 June 5, 2012, the Company received a notice to preserve documents and electronically stored information in conjunction with a confidential civil investigative demand for information under the Texas Medicaid Fraud Prevention Act, Texas Human Resources Code, §36.001, et seq. relating to the submission of prices to Texas Medicaid in claims for reimbursement for drugs. The Company has submitted information to Texas in response to the request and is in the process of evaluating this and other information. Texas has indicated that based on its initial review of the data, it is prepared to pursue such claims. While the Company does not know the full extent of its potential liability at this time, cannot predict the outcome of this matter, and intends to vigorously defend against any such claims, it could be subject to material penalties and damages.

On December 16, 2011, the Company answered the complaint. On August 28, 2012, the claims on U.S. patent No. 5,880,283 were dismissed. 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.

On October 11, 2011, Senju Pharmaceutical Co.; Kyorin Pharmaceutical Co.; and Allergan filed a complaint in the District Court of Delaware, Civil Action No. 1:11-cv-00926; in response to the Company’s Paragraph IV certification as part of its filing of an ANDA to manufacture a generic version of Allergan’s Zymaxid® (gatifloxacin ophthalmic solution, 0.5%).

On June 8, 2012, plaintiff Mathew Harrison, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, brought a class action lawsuit, Civil Action No. 12-2897, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, against Wayne Perry, Dynova Laboratories, Inc., Sicap Industries, LLC, Walgreens Co. and the Company (“Harrison case”). On May 16, 2012, plaintiff David Delre, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, brought a class action lawsuit, Civil Action No. 12-2429, in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, against Wayne Perry, Dynova Laboratories, Inc., Sicap Industries, LLC, and the Company. Each complaint alleges, among other things, that their Sinus Buster® products are improperly marketed, labeled and sold as homeopathic products, and that these allegations support claims of fraud, unjust enrichment, breach of express and implied warranties and alleged violations of various state and federal statutes. The Company answered the complaints on July 17, 2012 and June 26, 2012, respectively, and asserted cross-claims against the other defendants, except Walgreens which was dismissed from the Harrison case. Discovery has commenced in both cases. The Company believes the complaints are without merit and intends to vigorously defend against the allegations in the complaints. The Company cannot predict the outcome of the actions.

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.

[3] Commitments and Contingencies:

The Company’s ECR Pharmaceuticals subsidiary currently leases approximately 12,000 square feet in Richmond, VA. This lease ends August 31, 2014.

In June 2010, the Company entered into an agreement to lease a parking lot in Amityville, NY. The Company will pay $90,000 over a five year period.

In the course of its business, the Company enters into agreements which require the Company to make royalty payments which are generally based on net sales or gross profits of certain products.

In connection with the Tussicaps® acquisition, the Company entered into a manufacturing agreement which requires the Company to make a minimum purchase of $500,000 in the first year and $1,000,000 per year over the next four years.

15. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In July 2012, the FASB issued accounting guidance to simplify the testing for a drop in value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. Under the updated guidance, an entity has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before proceeding to the quantitative impairment test under which it would calculate the asset’s fair value. When performing the qualitative assessment, the entity must evaluate events and circumstances that may affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

16. SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMERS AND CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:

For the six months ended October 31, 2012, four customers, McKesson, Walgreens, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal Health, accounted for net sales of approximately 21%, 17%, 14% and 13%, respectively. These customers represented approximately 66% of accounts receivable at October 31, 2012. For the six months ended October 31, 2011, three customers, McKesson, AmerisourceBergen and Cardinal Health, accounted for net sales of approximately 14%, 9% and 9%, respectively. These customers represented approximately 62% of accounts receivable at April 30, 2012.

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 October 31, 2012 was as follows:

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 8). 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. SEGMENT INFORMATION:

The Company operates in three reportable business segments: generic pharmaceuticals (referred to as “Hi-Tech Generics”), OTC branded pharmaceuticals (referred to as “Health Care Products”, or “HCP”) and prescription brands (referred to as “ECR”). Branded products are marketed under brand names through marketing programs that are designed to generate physician and consumer loyalty. Generic pharmaceutical products are the chemical and therapeutic equivalents of corresponding brand drugs. Our Chief Operating Decision Maker is our Chief Executive Officer.

The business segments are determined based on management’s reporting and decision-making requirements in accordance with FASB ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting. The generic products represent a single operating segment because the demand for these products is mainly driven by consumers seeking a lower cost alternative to brand name drugs. Certain of our expenses, such as the direct sales force and other sales and marketing expenses and specific research and development expenses, are charged directly to the respective segments. Other expenses, such as general and administrative expenses, are included under the Corporate and other cost center.

Net sales of Hi-Tech generic pharmaceutical products decreased primarily due to lower sales of Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray which decreased to $21,500,000 from $23,000,000 in the comparable quarter as the Company sold more units at a lower average price. In January 2012, a fourth competitor entered the generic Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray market which may lead to additional price reductions for this product. The Company also experienced lower volumes and prices on Dorzolamide products during the quarter ended October 31, 2012. Partially offsetting these declines were sales of new products such as Nystatin oral suspension, launched in February 2012, Lidocaine 5% ointment, launched in March 2012 , Levetiracetam oral concentrate, launched in May 2012 and Paregoric, launched in August 2012.

Net sales of the Health Care Products division, which markets the Company’s branded OTC products, decreased due to end customer discounts and promotional pricing on Nasal Ease®. Sales of Diabetic Tussin® and Diabetiderm® declined as well. These declines were partially offset by sales of our new product Sinus Buster®, acquired in March 2012.

Sales of the Hi-Tech generic division and the Health Care Products division were both adversely affected by superstorm Sandy. Hi-Tech Pharmacal’s facilities in Amityville, NY were without power from October 29, 2012 through November 1, 2012; therefore, the Company was unable to produce and ship products during this period. The Company anticipates that sales lost during this week will be made up in the quarter ending January 2013.

Net sales of ECR Pharmaceuticals, which sells branded prescription products, increased due to higher sales of Bupap® and Dexpak® and sales from Tussicaps® and Orbivan®, acquired in fiscal year 2012. Bupap® sales increased ahead of an announced price increase, as some customers purchased larger than typical quantities.

     27,948,000         49     23,479,000         41

The increase in cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales is primarily due to pricing declines for both Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray and Dorzolamide ophthalmic products. The Company anticipates that the cost to manufacture Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray will decline in the second half of the fiscal year due to lower input costs and new manufacturing equipment which will enable productivity improvements.

Additionally, consumer discounts related to an in-store promotion of Nasal Ease® lowered margins in the HCP division.

Pricing increases in the current year and inventory and pricing reserves in the prior year lead to increased gross margins in the ECR subsidiary.

   $ 4,187,000      $ 6,367,000      $ (2,180,000     (34 )% 

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially due to increased freight-out expense across all divisions. Advertising expense increased to $2,211,000 in the quarter ended October 31, 2012 from $1,946,000 in the quarter ended October 31, 2011 primarily in the HCP division to support the re-launch of Nasal Ease©.

Amortization expense increased due to intangible asset purchases over the last year including Tussicaps®, purchased in August 2011 and Sinus Buster®, purchased in March 2012.

The increase in Research and Development expenditures is due to increased spending on internal projects for the generic division, which include four projects that require clinical trials. Three of these projects requiring clinical trials were undertaken in partnership with other companies. Spending included licensing fees and expenses paid to third parties for the new project requiring clinical trials. Additionally, the Company paid a one time fee of $209,000 to the FDA for new Generic Drug User Fee Act (“GDUFA”) fees relating to ANDAs currently awaiting FDA approval in the quarter ended October 31, 2012.

Royalty income decreased as royalties on sales of certain products divested by its previously owned Midlothian division came to an end in June 2012.

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

Partially offsetting these declines were sales of new products such as Lidocaine sterile jelly, launched in September 2011, Nystatin oral suspension, launched in February 2012, Lidocaine 5% ointment, launched in March 2012, Levetiracetam oral concentrate, launched in May 2012 and Paregoric, launched in August 2012.

Net sales of the Health Care Products division, which markets the Company’s branded OTC products, decreased due to end customer discounts and promotional pricing on Nasal Ease®. Sales of Multibetic®, Diabetiderm®, and Diabetic Tussin® declined as well. These declines were partially offset by sales of our new product Sinus Buster®, acquired in March 2012.

Bupap® sales increased ahead of an announced price increase, as some customers purchased larger than typical quantities. The discontinuation of Lodrane® extended release antihistamines partially offset the increase in sales for the period. ECR Pharmaceuticals stopped shipping the Lodrane® products as of August 31, 2011. Sales of the discontinued Lodrane® products amounted to approximately $2,800,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2011.

The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was partially due to 30 contract sales representatives hired in October 2011 in the ECR subsidiary to expand its sales force to new areas of the country. These 30 representatives were terminated at the end of July 2012. Advertising expense increased to $4,072,000 in the six months ended October 31, 2012 from $3,285,000 in the six months ended October 31, 2011 primarily in the HCP division to support the re-launch of Nasal Ease©. Increases in freight-out expense also contributed to the increase in SG&A.

Amortization expense increased due to intangible asset purchases over the last year including Tussicaps®, purchased in August 2011 and Sinus Buster®, purchased in March 2012.

The increase in Research and Development expenditures is due to increased spending on internal projects for the generic division, which include four projects that require clinical trials.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company’s operations are historically financed principally by cash flow from operations. At October 31, 2012 and April 30, 2012, working capital was approximately $191,391,000 and $167,565,000, respectively, an increase of $23,826,000 during the six months ended October 31, 2012.

Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $14,479,000 which is primarily due to net income in the period, which was partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable. Accounts payable decreased by $6,851,000 due to the timing of payments for raw materials.

Cash flows used in investing activities were $3,770,000 and were mostly for capital expenditures primarily related to capacity expansion at the Company’s Amityville and Copiague facilities.

Cash flows provided by financing activities of $5,835,00 related primarily to the proceeds from exercise of stock options and the related tax benefits.

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 $3,579,000 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.

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 $1,421,000 as of October 31, 2012. Borrowings under the equipment financing agreement are payable in monthly installments of approximately $30,000 through October 6, 2016.

Table of Contents

The original credit agreement did not allow the Company to declare or pay dividends or distributions, other than dividends payable solely in capital stock, so long as the Revolving Credit Note remained unpaid. However, the Company and JP Morgan Chase amended the agreement to allow the Company to pay a onetime special dividend of $1.50 on December 28, 2012.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS:

In July 2012, the FASB issued accounting guidance to simplify the testing for a drop in value of indefinite-lived intangible assets. Under the updated guidance, an entity has the option of first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired before proceeding to the quantitative impairment test under which it would calculate the asset’s fair value. When performing the qualitative assessment, the entity must evaluate events and circumstances that may affect the significant inputs used to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. This guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

SEASONALITY

The Company’s largest selling product is Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray, an allergy medication. Sales of Fluticasone Propionate nasal spray 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 accounting principles generally accepted 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, 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, returns, 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 contract customers establishing prices for products for which the contract customer 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 contract customer’s contract price, which is lower. We credit the wholesaler for purchases by contract 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 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 following table presents the roll forward of each significant estimate as of October 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011 and for the six months then ended, respectively.

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, 60 or 90 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, 2012. As of October 31, 2012, the Company’s remaining contractual obligations have not materially changed since April 30, 2012.

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 October 31, 2012 we are not involved in any material unconsolidated transactions.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

At times the Company may invest 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.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
