NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed financial statements included herein have been prepared by Advanced Tobacco Products, Inc., dba Advanced Therapeutic Products, Inc. (“ATP”) without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. However, all adjustments have been made to the accompanying financial statements which are, in the opinion of ATP's management, necessary for the fair presentation of ATP's results of operations for the period covered. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although ATP believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented herein not misleading. These condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in ATP's Annual Report on Form 10-K as of September 30, 2002.
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The forward-looking information contained in this report on Form 10-Q is subject to change as the result of business, economic, competitive, regulatory, or other contingencies and uncertainties which cannot be predicted and which are beyond the control of ATP and are subject to changes in the plans of PHA with regard to the Nicotrol®/Nicorette® Inhaler which are entirely at the discretion of PHA.
DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS
In 1987, ATP sold patented nicotine technology, which forms the basis of the Nicorette®/Nicotrol® Inhaler (“Inhaler”), to what is now Pharmacia AB and Pharmacia & Upjohn Company (“PHA”), in exchange for product payments of 3% of PHA’s net sales of the Inhaler.
Product payments are payable on a country by country basis for the greater of 10 years following the date of the first commercial sale or the expiration of all issued patents enforceable in such countries. There are payment limitations in the event of the sale of a nicotine vapor product competitive with the Inhaler.
The Inhaler was launched nationwide in the U.S. as a prescription product in 1998. PHA has introduced the Inhaler, primarily as an over-the-counter product, in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
The Inhaler is the only nicotine replacement product designed to help control a smoker’s cravings for cigarettes while providing a key behavioral component of smoking-the hand-to-mouth ritual. The Inhaler consists of a mouthpiece and a cartridge containing nicotine. The user puffs on the mouthpiece, inhaling the nicotine, which is then absorbed through the lining of the mouth.
ATP also has an agreement with PHA under which, among other matters, ATP has the right to receive a royalty equal to .1% of net revenues received by PHA from the sale of any product using a nicotine impermeable copolymer technology. Under the terms of the agreement, ATP receives royalties from the sales of PHA’s Nicorette®/Nicotrol® Patch in certain countries.
In addition, ATP has an exclusive worldwide license to certain dry powder nicotine inhaler technology from Duke University. ATP has obtained several patents covering this technology. ATP believes that a dry powder nicotine inhaler has the potential to be a future generation nicotine replacement product.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash resources, including investments, available on December 31, 2002, were $2,207,210 as compared to $1,941,604 as of December 31, 2001. On January 10, 2003, and January 9, 2002, ATP paid dividends aggregating $657,770 (8 cents per share) and $411,108 (5 cents per share) respectively.
COMPARISON OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Operating revenues for the three month period ending December 31, 2002, increased to $224,063, as compared to $198,808 for the three month period ending December 31, 2001. This increase is due to an increase in Inhaler product payments from PHA.
Interest income for the three month period ending December 31, 2002, increased to $22,668 as compared to $22,329 for the three month period ending December 31, 2001. This increase is due to minor variations in earnings on investments.
Net income for the three month period ending December 31, 2002, increased to $173,876 as compared to $145,430 for the three month period ending December 31, 2001. This increase is due to an increase in Inhaler product payments from PHA
General and administrative expenses for the three month period ending December 31, 2002, decreased to $72,855 as compared to $75,707 for the three month period ending December 31, 2001. This decrease is due to minor variations in general and administrative expenses.
