Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Basis of Presentation
General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Leiner Health Products Inc. (“Leiner” or the “Company”) consolidate all of the Company’s subsidiaries, including all of its operating subsidiaries, which are Leiner Health Products L.L.C., Leiner Health Services Corp., and Vita Health Products Inc. (“Vita Health”) and its non-operating subsidiaries, which are VH Vita Holdings Inc., Westcan Pharmaceuticals Ltd., and 6062199 Canada Inc. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Such adjustments consist of adjustments of a normal recurring nature. This report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) file number 333-33121. Operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 29, 2008 or any other future periods.
There have been no material changes in the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Accordingly, the disclosures provided in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007 remains current.
Through the Company’s principal operating subsidiary, Leiner Health Products LLC, the Company received a list of Inspection Observations on Form 483 from FDA inspectors on March 16, 2007. The Form 483 contained inspection observations relating to product quality and deficiencies in the subsidiary’s compliance with good manufacturing practices, or cGMP, for OTC products manufactured, packaged or tested at our Fort Mill, South Carolina facility.
The Company believes it has implemented steps to address the observations described in the Form 483 to assure the integrity of its quality processes and OTC products. On March 20, 2007, the Company voluntarily suspended the production and distribution of all OTC products manufactured, packaged or tested at its facilities in the United States. In April 2007, as a precautionary matter, the Company voluntarily recalled all unexpired OTC products from distribution centers and wholesale warehouses in the United States.
If the observations in the Form 483 cannot be addressed in a timely manner at a reasonable cost, it may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, based upon current levels of operations, anticipated cost-savings and expectations as to future growth, the Company believes that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under its Revolving Facility will be adequate to permit the Company to meet its debt service obligations, capital expenditure program requirements, ongoing operating costs and working capital needs, although no assurance can be given in this regard.
2. Fiscal Year
The Company maintains a fifty-two/fifty-three week fiscal year. The Company’s fiscal year end will fall on the last Saturday of March each year. The first three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 24, 2006 were each comprised of 13 weeks.
3. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS 157”), which defines fair value, provides a framework for measuring fair value, and expands the disclosures required for fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies to all accounting pronouncements that require fair value measurements. It does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions of the SFAS 157 will be effective for the Company beginning fiscal 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the impact SFAS 157 will have on its consolidated financials upon adoption.

(continued)
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, arising subsequent to adoption, are reported in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The provisions of SFAS 159 will be available to the Company beginning fiscal 2009 if the Company chooses to adopt such provisions.
4. Fair Values of Debt Instruments
Fair values of the Company’s debt instruments have been determined based on borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms or maturity. The table below provides information about the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations under the Credit Facility and Notes (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, 2007 |
| | Total | | Fair Value |
Variable rate ($US) | | $ | 242,800 | | | $ | 242,800 | |
Average interest rate | | | 9.80 | % | | | | |
Fixed rate ($US) | | $ | 150,000 | | | $ | 142,688 | |
Average interest rate | | | 11.00 | % | | | | |
The fair value of the Industrial Development Revenue Bond Loan could not be estimated because there is no active market for such debt instruments.
5. Comprehensive Income (loss)
The only component of other accumulated comprehensive income (loss) is the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded in shareholder’s deficit. The comprehensive income (loss) is as follows (in thousands):

6. Restructuring Charges
In June 2007, the Company announced plans to consolidate its manufacturing and packaging operations in the U.S. The consolidation plan calls for the reduction of personnel and space at the Company’s Fort Mill, South Carolina facility by the end of September 2007. Following the consolidation, the Fort Mill facility will continue to function as a distribution center. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company eliminated approximately 583 positions from its Carson, Garden Grove and Valencia, California, Fort Mill, South Carolina, and Wilson, North Carolina locations.

On June 22, 2007, the Company obtained an Amendment and Waiver (the “Second Amendment”) from its senior lenders under the Credit Facility. The Second Amendment of the Credit Agreement revised the financial covenants both in terms of applicable ratios and by allowing add-backs to EBITDA for certain cash and non-cash charges related to the restructuring of operations due to the suspension of its OTC shipments and subsequent events.
9. Income Taxes
Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method and reflect the effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is “more likely than not” that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers taxable income in carryback years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, tax planning strategies, and projected future taxable income in making this assessment.

The Company recorded an income tax provision of $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared to a provision of $1.7 million or 46.7 % rate for the three months ended June 24, 2006.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2007 is substantially different from the effective rate for the three months ended June 24, 2006 primarily due to the fact that the U.S. Company recorded a full valuation allowance against its year to date operating loss. The valuation allowance on U.S. deferred tax assets was recorded due to uncertainty over the future realization of U.S. operating loss carryovers. Any additional U.S. operating loss carryovers generated in fiscal 2008 will result in further increases in the valuation allowance against U.S. deferred tax assets.
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, on April 1, 2007. Previously, the Company had accounted for income tax uncertainties in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 5, Accounting for Contingencies. As required by Interpretation 48, which clarifies Statement 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, the Company recognizes the financial statement benefit of a tax position only after determining that the relevant tax authority would more likely than not sustain the position following an audit. For tax positions meeting the more-likely-than-not threshold, the amount recognized in the financial statements is the largest benefit that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the relevant tax authority. At the adoption date, the Company applied Interpretation 48 to all material tax positions for which the statute of limitations remained open. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation 48, the Company recognized an increase of approximately $0.4 million in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which was accounted for as a reduction to the April 1, 2007 balance of retained earnings.
The amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of April 1, 2007, was $4.9 million. That amount includes $4.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits which, if ultimately recognized, would reduce the Company’s annual effective tax rate. There have been no material changes in unrecognized tax benefits since April 1, 2007.
The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, Canada, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. Tax regulations within each jurisdiction are subject to the interpretation of the related tax laws and regulations and require significant judgment to apply. With few exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, local, or Canadian income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2003. The Company estimates that unrecognized tax benefits of $1.9 million, would be recognized within the next twelve months if the statute of limitations expires without the relevant taxing authorities examining the applicable returns.
The Company is currently under examination by several state jurisdictions for years subsequent to 2002. The Company has recorded unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $0.4 million related primarily to apportionment issues in those states. The Company expects those examinations to be settled in the next twelve months.
The Company recognizes accrued interest and relevant penalties, if applicable, related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense for all periods presented. As of April 1, 2007 the Company has accrued approximately $1.2 million for the payment of interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits.

The Company recorded a total expense of $2,337 as share-based compensation under general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The weighted-average per share, fair value of options granted during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 was $0.35. As of June 30, 2007, there was $21,221 of total unrecorded and unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based compensation under the 2004 Option Plan. That cost is expected to be recorded and recognized over a weighted average period of 2.3 years.

11. Contingencies
The Company from time to time is engaged in litigation. The Company regularly reviews all pending litigation matters in which it is involved and established reserves deemed appropriate by management for these litigation matters. However, some of these matters are material and an adverse outcome in these matters could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. The Company is vigorously defending each of these claims. The Company maintains insurance against product liability claims, but it is possible that its insurance coverage will not continue to be available on terms acceptable to the Company or that such coverage will not be adequate for liability actually incurred.
Product Liability
The Company has been named as a defendant in cases alleging adverse reactions associated with the ingestion of Phenylpropanolamine containing products that the Company allegedly manufactured and sold. Currently, only two of the original 10 cases are pending; none of the cases has proceeded to trial, although the Company intends to vigorously defend these allegations if trials ensue. These actions have been tendered to the Company’s insurance carrier. The remaining eight cases have either been dismissed with prejudice or settled for non-material amounts. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and based on currently available information, the

ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. While the outcome of any of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that it has provided adequate reserves for these claims and does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Breach of OTC Supply Contracts
On April 25, 2007, the Company, together with its principal operating subsidiary, Leiner Health Products LLC, received a letter confirming that Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (together, “DRL”) were terminating the following agreements, effective immediately: OTC Distribution Agreement, dated December 4, 2002, between Leiner LLC and DRL; Famotidine Supply Agreement, dated February 15, 2001, among Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited, Reddy-Cheminor, Inc., and the Company; and Supply Agreement, dated November 28, 2000, between the Company, Cheminor Drugs Limited and Reddy-Cheminor, Inc., as amended (together, the “DRL Agreements”).
The DRL Agreements have provided Leiner LLC with a supply of certain active pharmaceutical ingredient and bulk tablets used to manufacture certain over-the-counter (“OTC”) products and, in the case of the OTC Distribution Agreement, exclusive access to OTC switch products developed by DRL. DRL has informed the Company that it intends to enter into the Company’s OTC market by directly packaging, marketing and distributing OTC products manufactured from the active pharmaceutical ingredients and bulk tablets that it previously supplied and would have been obligated to supply to the Company under the DRL Agreements.
The Company disputes that, as contended by DRL, the receipt by its subsidiary, and the Company’s actions in response to, the list of Inspection Observations on Form 483 that was received from FDA inspectors provide any basis for DRL’s right to terminate the DRL Agreements. The Company is considering all of its alternatives in connection with DRL’s termination, including arbitration and litigation to vigorously assert its rights under the DRL Agreements. The Company may be subject to counterclaims by DRL in any arbitration or litigation and even a favorable resolution of the Company’s claims could result in distraction of its management and significant legal and other related costs.
Breach of Raw Material Supply Agreement
The Company filed a lawsuit against a supplier of chondroitin in the Superior Court in Orange County, California in June 2005. The complaint alleges breach of contract, negligence, intentional and negligent misrepresentation and other similar claims regarding the supplier’s delivery of chondroitin that the Company believes was adulterated and sub-potent. This material was not incorporated into finished products that were supplied to customers. The supplier filed a counter-claim against the Company for breach of contract and other related claims due to the Company’s refusal to pay the outstanding balance owed for the product. Following a jury trial in February 2007, the Company obtained a jury verdict in its favor for $1.28 million and against the supplier on its counter-claims. The supplier is appealing the verdict. While the Company intends to make every effort to enforce the judgment, there can be no assurance that the Company can collect on this judgment; therefore, the Company has not recorded any amount related to this judgement.
The Company is subject to other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of business. While the outcome of any of these proceedings and claims cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that it has provided adequate reserves for these claims and does not believe the outcome of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Other Civil Litigation
From time to time, the Company is involved in other various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, intellectual property and contractual disputes.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
As used in the management’s discussion and analysis section of this report, unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “our company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer collectively to Leiner Health Products Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), including Vita Health Products Inc. of Canada (“Vita Health”), a wholly owned subsidiary.
Overview
We are the leading manufacturer of store brand vitamins, minerals and nutritional supplements (“VMS”) products and a supplier of store brand over-the-counter (“OTC”) pharmaceuticals in the U.S. food, drug and mass merchant and warehouse club (“FDMC”) retail market, as measured by U.S. retail sales in 2006. Most of our products are manufactured for our customers to sell as their own store brands. We have long-term relationships with leading FDMC retailers and focus on the fastest-growing of these retailers—the mass merchants and warehouse clubs. In addition to our primary VMS products, we provide contract manufacturing services to consumer products and pharmaceutical companies.
In June 2007, we announced plans to consolidate our manufacturing and packaging operations in the U.S. due to the interruption of our manufacturing of OTC products as complicated by the DRL contract terminations as described in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The consolidation plan calls for the closure of, and the reduction of personnel at, our Fort Mill, South Carolina facility and is expected to be completed by September 2007. The Fort Mill manufacturing operations will be transitioned to Wilson, North Carolina and Garden Grove, California facilities, and its packaging operations will be transitioned to our Carson, California facility.
On June 22, 2007, we obtained an Amendment and Waiver (the “Second Amendment”) from our senior lenders under the Credit Facility. The Second Amendment of the Credit Agreement revised the financial covenants both in terms of applicable ratios and by allowing add-backs to EBITDA for certain cash and non-cash charges related to the restructuring of operations due to the suspension of our OTC shipments and subsequent events.
We operate under two separate geographical units, one in the United States and one in Canada. Our U.S. business consists of our U.S. subsidiaries, principally Leiner Health Products, LLC. Our Canadian business consists of Vita Health.
The following discussion explains significant changes in the condensed consolidated financial condition and results of our operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 (“first quarter of fiscal 2008”), and the significant developments affecting our financial condition since March 31, 2007. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Results of Operations
The following table summarizes our historical results of operations as a percentage of net sales for the first quarter ended June 30, 2007 and June 24, 2006.

Net Sales were $107.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $56.5 million, or 34.4%, from $163.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. While the first quarters of our fiscal years are typically our lowest sales quarters, approximately $45.8 million of the $56.5 million decrease in net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 as compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was a result of the voluntary suspension of our sales of U.S. OTC products. The decrease in net sales for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was also due to lower sales of joint care, coenzyme Q10 (“CoQ10”) and other multivitamins products in the U.S that was primarily due to timing of promotional events.
U.S. net sales were $95.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $56.6 million, or 37.2% from $152.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in net sales in the U.S. for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 was primarily due to the voluntary suspension of sales of OTC products. Net sales attributable to our Canadian operations were $12.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of $0.1 million, or 0.1%, from $11.9 million in the same period of fiscal 2007. Net sales in the Canadian operations remain relatively the same from year to year.
Regarding our three principal product categories
| • | | VMS product net sales were $87.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $12.5 million, or 12.5%, from $100.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in VMS category sales was primarily due to lower sales of joint care, CoQ10 and multivitamins products in the U.S. offset by a slight increase in sales of fish oil products. |
|
| • | | OTC product net sales were $7.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $42.9 million, or 85.7% from $50.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease in OTC net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2007 was primarily attributable to the voluntary suspension on sales of U.S. OTC products as a result of the FDA inspection in March 2007. |
|
| • | | Contract manufacturing services net sales were $12.7 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 7.9%, from $13.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The decrease was impacted by the suspension of sales of OTC products to our key contract manufacturing customers. |
Cost of sales was at $86.3 million, or 80.3%, of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $37.7 million, or 30.4%, from $124.0 million, or 75.6%, of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The cost of sales as
21
a percentage of net sales increased in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007 as a result of costs associated with idle plant capacity due to the suspension of the manufacturing of OTC products.
Gross profit was $21.1 million, or 19.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, a decrease of $18.8 million, or 47.0%, from $39.9 million, or 24.4% of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 decreased as a result of lower net sales coupled with higher costs of sales due to idle plant capacity resulting from the suspension of sales of OTC products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) consist of (1) marketing, selling and distribution expenses, which include components such as advertising costs, selling costs, warehousing, shipping and handling and (2) general and administrative expenses, which include components such as administrative functions to support manufacturing activities, salaries, wages and benefit costs, travel and entertainment, professional services and facility costs. SG&A were $28.7 million, or 26.7% of net sales, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, an increase of $3.8 million, or 15.4%, from $24.9 million, or 15.2% of net sales, in the same period in the prior year. This is primarily due to increases in consulting and legal costs relating to the FDA observation remediation, partially offset by decreases in selling and distribution expenses related to the decrease in sales volume.
Research and development expenses (“R&D”) were $1.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $1.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Amortization of other intangibles decreased by $0.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
The restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008 were $7.3 million which reflects severance and other related costs resulting from our plan to consolidate our manufacturing and packaging operations in the U.S.
Other operating expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was $0.1 million.
In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, net interest expense of $9.6 million represents a decrease of $0.4 million from the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
We recorded an income tax provision of $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, compared to a provision of $1.7 million, or 46.7% effective tax rate, in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The lower effective rate for 2008 is primarily due to a full valuation allowance being recorded on the U.S. operating loss.
Primarily as a result of factors discussed above, a net loss of $27.5 million was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to a net income of $2.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.
Credit Agreement EBITDA was $17.5 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to Credit Agreement EBITDA of $18.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Details of the definition and calculation of the Credit Agreement EBITDA can be found under “Covenant Restrictions” and “Credit Agreement EBITDA” below.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers, Suppliers and Products
Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade receivables. We sell our products to a geographically diverse customer base in the FDMC retail market. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and maintain adequate reserves for potential losses.
22
Our top two customers accounted for the following percentage of gross sales in each respective period:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | June 24, |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
Customer A | | | 44 | % | | | 43 | % |
Customer B | | | 25 | % | | | 23 | % |
Our largest customer has two retail divisions that, if viewed as separate entities, would constitute the following percentage of gross sales in each respective period:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | June 24, |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
Division 1 | | | 25 | % | | | 24 | % |
Division 2 | | | 19 | % | | | 19 | % |
Our top ten customers in the aggregate accounted for the following percentage of gross sales in each respective period:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | June 24, |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
Top ten customers | | | 92 | % | | | 86 | % |
At June 30, 2007 and March 31, 2007, we had gross receivables from two U.S. customers representing approximately 45% and 36% and 62% and 38%, respectively of total receivables.
For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 24, 2006, one supplier, excluding purchases by Vita Health, provided approximately 10% of raw materials purchased. No other supplier accounted for more than 10% of our purchases for the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity needs arise primarily from debt service on our substantial indebtedness and from the funding of our capital expenditures, ongoing operating costs and working capital.
As of June 30, 2007, we had outstanding debt of an aggregate amount of $404.7 million, consisting primarily of $10.0 million in Revolver Facility, $232.8 million in principal amount under the Term Facility, $150.0 million under the Notes and an aggregate amount of $11.9 million under our other debt facilities.
Principal and interest payments under the Term Facility and the Revolving Facility, together with principal and interest payments on the Notes, represent significant liquidity requirements for us. We are required to repay the $232.8 million in term loan outstanding as of June 30, 2007 under the Credit Facility by May 27, 2011 with scheduled principal payments of $1.8 million in fiscal 2008, $2.4 million in each of fiscal 2009 through fiscal 2011, and $224.4 million in fiscal 2012. All outstanding revolving credit borrowings under the Credit Facility will become due on May 27, 2009. We are also required to repay the $150.0 million of the Notes in fiscal 2013.
On September 23, 2005, we obtained an Amendment from our senior lenders under the Credit Facility. The Amendment acknowledges the acquisition of the PFI Business for approximately $22.9 million in cash as a Permitted Acquisition. The Amendment, among other things, (a) modified the “applicable margin” rate, (b) modified existing financial and operating covenants that require, among other things, the maintenance of certain financial ratios, (c) added a new financial covenant of Minimum Liquidity (as defined) of not less than $20.0 million, and (d) modified the calculation of consolidated credit agreement EBITDA. As a condition to obtaining the consent of the lenders to the foregoing amendments, we paid an amendment fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate total commitments of senior lenders, or approximately $0.7 million. The Amendment is effective for the quarter ended September 24, 2005 and subsequent quarters through the maturity of the Credit Facility.
23
On June 22, 2007, we obtained a Second Amendment from our senior lenders under the Credit Facility. The Second Amendment of the Credit Agreement revised the financial covenants both in terms of applicable ratios and by allowing add-backs to EBITDA for certain cash and non-cash charges related to the restructuring of operations due to the suspension of our OTC shipments and subsequent events. Pursuant to the Amendment, the senior lenders waived certain rights they may have had regarding any possible defaults or events of default related to such specified events. The Second Amendment also provides for an increase in the interest rates applicable under the Credit Agreement. As a condition to obtaining the consent of the lenders to the foregoing amendments, we paid an amendment fee equal to 0.25% of the aggregate total commitments of senior lenders, or approximately $0.7 million. The Second Amendment is effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and subsequent quarters through the maturity of the Credit Facility. For additional details see “Covenant Restrictions” and “Credit Agreement EBITDA” below.
Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a base rate per annum plus an “applicable margin” that is based on our leverage ratio. We can choose a base rate of (i) ABR (Alternate base rate) or (ii) LIBOR for our Term Facility and Revolving Facility. The ABR rate is determined based on the higher of federal funds effective rate plus 0.5% or the prime commercial lending rate of UBS AG. The LIBOR rate is determined based on interest periods of one, two, three or six months. As of June 30, 2007, our average interest rates were 9.8% under the Credit Facility. In addition to specified agent and up-front fees, the Credit Facility requires a commitment fee of up to 0.5% per annum of the average daily unused portion of the Revolving Facility. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 11% per annum.
At June 30, 2007, we had $10.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Facility. In accordance with our debt agreements, the $50.0 million available under the Revolving Facility has been reduced by the amount of standby letters of credit issued of approximately $5.9 million as of June 30, 2007. These letters of credit are used as security against our lease obligations and an outstanding note payable. These letters of credit expire annually and need extensions each year to various dates through 2014. The Second Amendment, among other things, requires us to maintain a Minimum Liquidity amount of not less than $10.0 million as of the last day of any fiscal month. Our Minimum Liquidity as of June 30, 2007 was $42.4 million, well above the $10 million requirement.
In the event the net availability under the Revolving Facility plus cash balance falls below the $10.0 million Minimum Liquidity requirement, our equity sponsors have committed to contributing to us an additional $6.5 million in equity.
Based upon current levels of operations, anticipated cost-savings and expectations as to future growth, we believe that cash generated from operations, together with amounts available under our Revolving Facility will be adequate to permit us to meet our debt service obligations, capital expenditure program requirements, ongoing operating costs and working capital needs, although no assurance can be given in this regard. Our future financial and operating performance, ability to service or refinance our debt and ability to comply with the covenants and restrictions contained in the Credit Facility, as amended, will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices and demand for our products, raw material costs, and our ability to successfully implement our overall business and profitability strategies.
If our future cash flow from operations and other capital resources are insufficient to pay our obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell assets, obtain additional debt or equity capital or restructure or refinance all or a portion of our debt, including the Notes, on or before maturity. We cannot assure that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all. In addition, the terms of our existing and future indebtedness, including the Notes and Credit Facility, may limit our ability to pursue any of these alternatives.
Covenant Restrictions
The Credit Facility contains various restrictive covenants. It prohibits us from prepaying other indebtedness, including the Notes, and it requires us to satisfy certain financial condition tests and to maintain specified financial ratios, such as a minimum liquidity, maximum total leverage ratio, minimum interest coverage ratio, limitation on capital expenditures and an annual assessment of any repayment toward principal as a result of excess cash flow requirements defined in the Credit Facility. In addition, the Credit Facility prohibits us from declaring or paying any dividends and prohibits us from making any payments with respect to the Notes if we fail to perform our obligations under, or fail to meet the conditions of, the Credit Facility or if payment creates a default under the Credit Facility.
The indenture governing the Notes, among other things: (1) restricts our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, issue shares of preferred stock, incur liens, pay dividends or make other specified
24
restricted payments and enter into some transactions with affiliates; (2) prohibits specified restrictions on the ability of some of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or make some payments to us; and (3) places restrictions on our ability and the ability of our subsidiaries to merge or consolidate with any other person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. The indenture related to these Notes and the Credit Facility also contains various covenants that limit our discretion in the operation of our businesses.
The financial covenants in the Credit Facility specify, among other things, the following requirements as of the last day of any test period during any period set forth in the table below:

Note: (1) See “—“Credit Agreement EBITDA” for more information regarding this term. |
We were in compliance with all such financial covenants and have exceeded our Minimum Liquidity provision as of June 30, 2007. Our ability to comply in future periods with the financial covenants in the Credit Facility will depend on our ongoing financial and operating performance, which in turn will be subject to economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control and will be substantially dependent on the selling prices and demand for our products, raw material costs, and our ability to successfully implement our overall business and profitability strategies. If a violation of any of the covenants occurred, we would attempt to obtain a waiver or an amendment from our lenders, although no assurance can be given that we would be successful in this regard. The Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Notes have covenants as well as specified cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions; failure to comply with these covenants in any agreement could result in a
25
violation of such agreement which could, in turn, lead to violations of other agreements pursuant to such cross-default or cross-acceleration provisions.
The Credit Facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. Borrowings under the Credit Facility are a key source of our liquidity. Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is dependent on, among other things, our compliance with the financial ratio covenants referred to in the preceding paragraphs. Failure to comply with the financial ratio covenants would result in a violation of the Credit Facility and, absent a waiver or amendment from the lenders under such agreement, permit the acceleration of all outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility.
Credit Agreement EBITDA
The table below sets forth EBITDA as defined in the Amendment and the Second Amendment (together, the “Amendments”, which we refer to as “Credit Agreement EBITDA.” Credit Agreement EBITDA as presented below is a financial measure that is used in our Amendments. Credit Agreement EBITDA is not a defined term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered as an alternative to income from operations or net income (loss) as a measure of operating results or cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Credit Agreement EBITDA is calculated by adjusting net income (loss) to exclude interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income tax expense, expenses incurred in connection with the recapitalization, aggregate amount of all other non-cash items (including non-cash compensation charges), proceeds from business interruption insurance, management fees, expenses related to any permitted acquisition (other than the PFI Acquisition), fees and expenses in connection with the exchange of the Notes, expenses incurred to the extent reimbursed by third parties pursuant to indemnification provisions, any non-cash charges outside the normal course of business that result in an accrual of a reserve for cash charges in any future period, expenses incurred or accrued representing joint care customer in-stock investments, inventory reduction impact and other expenses, expenses incurred in connection with any restructuring, expenses incurred in connection with the employment of professionals to assist restructuring, integration of the PFI Business and the Amendments, non-capitalized transition and integration expenses incurred in connection with the PFI Acquisition, any non-cash charges that result from final accounting adjustments associated with the PFI Acquisition, expenses incurred in connection with operating facilities to provide adequate inventory and to ensure continuous supplies to customers of the PFI Business, pro forma adjustments for estimated lost OTC contribution margin, expenses incurred related to our OTC remediation plans, product recalls, severance related costs and Fort Mill consolidation, our OTC inventory reserve and tangible and intangible write-down, specific litigation costs and potential acquisition costs. In addition, Credit Agreement EBITDA also adjusts net income by all non-cash items increasing consolidated net income (other than accrual of revenue or recording of receivables in the ordinary course of the business) and the reversal of any reserve or the payment of any amount that was reserved. The Credit Facility also provides for adjustments to consolidated net income including, among other things, for asset write-downs. The Amendments require us to comply with a specified debt to Credit Agreement EBITDA leverage ratio and a specified consolidated Credit Agreement EBITDA to interest expense ratio for specified periods. The specific ratios are set out under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.
The calculation of Credit Agreement EBITDA is set forth below (in thousands):

| | |
(3) | | Represents expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s plan to consolidate its manufacturing and packaging operations. These expenses are included in restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007. |
|
(4) | | Management fees, which primarily include professional fees incurred in connection with the Amendment, are included in other operating expenses in the consolidated statement of operations and in operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. |
|
(5) | | The Second Amendment provided add-backs for certain items related to the voluntary suspension of the Company’s OTC shipments. |
Sources and Uses of Cash
Net cash used in operating activities totaled $22.9 million and $1.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. In the first quarter of fiscal 2008, cash used in operating activities was primarily the result of operating losses of $27.5 million. Additionally, decreases in accounts receivable, resulting from lower sales volume, provided net cash flow of $20.1 million. This was offset by increases in inventory, due to the build up of inventory levels to support anticipated increases in sales volume, which resulted in cash used of $17.2 million. The increase in other liabilities of $5.7 million and the decrease in other accrued expenses of $5.6 million were primarily due to a reclassification of certain income tax liabilities from current to non-current.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.3 million and $3.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007, respectively. The decrease was primarily related to lower capital expenditure in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Capital expenditures were $1.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $3.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. We continue to invest in increasing our internal manufacturing capability and expect that our capital expenditures for fiscal 2008 will be slightly lower than our capital expenditures in fiscal 2007. We will be investing in leasehold improvements as part of our plant consolidation.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $7.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 compared to $3.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Net cash provided in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 represents primarily the borrowings from our Revolving Facility offset by increase in deferred financing charges and payments on capital leases and other term debt.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Revenue Recognition
The following table summarizes the activities in our accruals for contractual allowances, future chargebacks and product returns (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Reserve for | | | Reserve for | | | Reserve for | |
| | Contractual | | | Future | | | Product | |
| | Allowances | | | Chargebacks | | | Returns | |
Balance at March 31, 2007 | | $ | 7,769 | | | $ | 645 | | | $ | 2,014 | |
Current provision | | | 7,267 | | | | 723 | | | | 660 | |
Actual returns or credits | | | (8,967 | ) | | | (828 | ) | | | (977 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | |
Balance at June 30, 2007 | | $ | 6,069 | | | $ | 540 | | | $ | 1,697 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
Actual returns included products sold in prior fiscal periods of $98,000 and $225,000 for the first quarter of fiscal 2008 and 2007, respectively. We do not have the ability to track actual credits for contractual allowances and future chargebacks by fiscal period because a significant time lag exists between the date on which we determine our contractual liability and when we actually pay the liability. In addition, the documentation provided to us by our customers for such deductions are generally insufficient for us to determine the exact date when the liability may have been accrued on our balance sheet.
Forward-looking Statements
This report contains “forward-looking statements” that are subject to risks and uncertainties. These statements often include words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or similar expressions. These statements are only predictions. In addition to risks and uncertainties noted in this report, there are risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual operating results to differ materially from those anticipated by some of the statements made. Such risks and
27
uncertainties include: (i) an FDA investigation into our OTC operations that has materially and adversely affected our operations, (ii) product recalls, (iii) failure to implement our consolidation plans on favorable terms, if at all (iv) slow or negative growth in the vitamin, mineral, supplement or over-the-counter pharmaceutical industry; (v) adverse publicity regarding the consumption of vitamins, minerals, supplements or over-the-counter pharmaceuticals; (vi) increased competition; (vii) increased costs; (viii) increases in the cost of borrowings and/or unavailability of additional debt or equity capital; (ix) changes in general worldwide economic and political conditions in the markets in which we may compete from time to time; (x) our inability to gain and/or hold market share with our customers; (xi) exposure to and expenses of defending and resolving product liability claims and other litigation; (xii) our ability to successfully implement our business strategy; (xiii) our inability to manage our operations efficiently; (ivx) consumer acceptance of our products; (vx) introduction of new federal, state, local or foreign legislation or regulation or adverse determinations by regulators; (xvi) the mix of our products and the profit margins thereon; (xvii) the availability and pricing of raw materials; and (xviii) other factors beyond our control. We expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
You should carefully consider the risks described above and in “Item 1A. – Risk Factors.” In our Annual Report on Form 10-K on file with the SEC. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
28
ITEM 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
There have been no material changes in our market risk during the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Accordingly, the disclosure provided in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007 remains current.
29
ITEM 4 Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of June 30, 2007, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of such date our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in alerting them, in a timely manner, to material information to be included in our periodic SEC filings.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls
There has been no significant change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote such conditions may be.

PART II Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We are from time to time engaged in litigation. We regularly review all pending litigation matters in which we are involved and establish reserves deemed appropriate by management for these litigation matters. However, some of these matters are material and an adverse outcome in these matters could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We are vigorously defending each of these claims. We maintain insurance against product liability claims, but it is possible that our insurance coverage will not continue to be available on terms acceptable to us or that such coverage will not be adequate for liability actually incurred.
Product Liability
We have been named as a defendant in cases alleging adverse reactions associated with the ingestion of Phenylpropanolamine containing products that we allegedly manufactured and sold. Currently, only two of the original 10 cases are pending; none of the cases has proceeded to trial, although we intend to vigorously defend these allegations if trials ensue. These actions have been tendered to our insurance carrier. The remaining eight cases have either been dismissed with prejudice or settled for relatively small amounts. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel and based on currently available information, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
Breach of OTC Supply Contracts
On April 25, 2007, we, together with our principal operating subsidiary, Leiner Health Products LLC, received a letter confirming that Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited and Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories, Inc. (together, “DRL”) were terminating the following agreements, effective immediately: OTC Distribution Agreement, dated December 4, 2002, between Leiner LLC and DRL; Famotidine Supply Agreement, dated February 15, 2001, among Dr. Reddy’s Laboratories Limited, Reddy-Cheminor, Inc., and us; and Supply Agreement, dated November 28, 2000, between Cheminor Drugs Limited, Reddy-Cheminor, Inc. and us, as amended (together, the “DRL Agreements”).
The DRL Agreements have provided Leiner Health Products LLC with a supply of certain active pharmaceutical ingredient and bulk tablets used to manufacture certain OTC products and, in the case of the OTC Distribution Agreement, exclusive access to OTC switch products developed by DRL. DRL has informed us that it intends to enter our OTC market by directly packaging, marketing and distributing OTC products manufactured from the active pharmaceutical ingredients and bulk tablets that it previously supplied and would have been obligated to supply to us under the DRL Agreements.
We dispute that, as contended by DRL, the receipt by our subsidiary, and our actions in response to, the list of Inspection Observations on Form 483 that was received from FDA inspectors provide any basis for DRL’s right to terminate the DRL Agreements. We are considering all of our alternatives in connection with DRL’s termination, including arbitration and litigation to vigorously assert our rights under the DRL Agreements. We may be subject to counterclaims by DRL in any arbitration or litigation and even a favorable resolution of our claims could result in distraction of our management and significant legal and other related costs.
Breach of Raw Material Supply Agreement
We filed a lawsuit against a supplier of chondroitin in the Superior Court in Orange County, California in June 2005. The complaint alleges breach of contract, negligence, intentional and negligent misrepresentation and other similar claims regarding the supplier’s delivery of chondroitin that we believe was adulterated and sub-potent. This material was not incorporated into finished products that were supplied to customers. The supplier filed a counter-claim against us for breach of contract and other related claims due to our refusal to pay the outstanding balance owed for the product. Following a jury trial in February 2007, we obtained a jury verdict in our favor for $1.28 million and against the supplier on its counter-claims. The supplier is appealing the verdict. While we intend to make every effort to enforce the judgment, there can be no assurance that we can collect on this judgment; therefore, we have not recorded any amount related to this judgment.
Other Civil Litigation
From time to time, we are involved in other various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, intellectual property and contractual disputes.
31
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2007. If any of these risks occur, our business, prospects, financial condition, operating results and cash flows could be materially adversely affected. There are no material changes from the 10-K Risk Factors.
