AVITAR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) ================================================================================ 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Avitar, Inc. ("Avitar" or the "Company"), through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Avitar Technologies Inc. ("ATI"), United States Drug Testing Laboratories, Inc. ("USDTL") and BJR Security, Inc. designs, develops, manufactures, markets and provides diagnostic test products and services as well as contraband detection and education services. Avitar sells these products and services to large medical supply companies, employers, diagnostic distributors, schools and governmental agencies. During Fiscal Year 2001 and the first half of Fiscal Year 2002, the Company continued the development and marketing of ORALscreen(TM), innovative point of care oral fluid drugs of abuse tests that use the Company's foam as the means for collecting the oral fluid sample. The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting, the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B (including Item 310(b) thereof). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending September 30, 2002. The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001. The Company's consolidated financial statements have been presented on the basis that it is a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has working capital of $201,659 as of March 31, 2002. The Company raised net proceeds aggregating approximately $5,288,000 during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 from the sale of stock and the exercise of options and warrants. During the six months ended March 31, 2002, the Company raised approximately $2,563,000 from the sale of stock and the exercise of options and warrants. Based upon cash flow projections, the Company believes the anticipated cash flow from operations and proceeds from future equity financings will be sufficient to finance the Company's operating needs until the operations achieve profitability. There can be no assurances that forecasted results will be achieved or that additional financing will be obtained. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. 2. INVENTORIES At March 31, 2002, inventories consist of the following: Raw Materials $159,583 Work-in-Process 73,140 Finished Goods 31,617 ---------- Total $264,340 ======== 3. MAJOR CUSTOMERS Customers in excess of 10% of total sales are: Three Months Ended March 31, Six Months Ended March 31, --------------------------------- ------------------------------ 2002 2001 2002 2001 ----------- ----------- ---------- ---------- Customer A $339,630 $184,051 * $309,999 Customer B * 200,290 $1,977,910 200,290 Customer C 250,000 * * 112,500 Customer D * * * 106,310 * Customer was not in excess of 10% of total sales. 4. COMMON STOCK, PREFERRED STOCK AND WARRANTS During the six-month period ended March 31, 2002, the Company received approximately $1,257,000 from the exercise of stock options and warrants to purchase 2,319,734 shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the exercise of certain warrants, the Company issued to the holders warrants to purchase 1,750,070 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.68 for a term of three years. Also during the six months ended March 31, 2002, the Company sold 1,909,684 shares of the Company's common stock and received proceeds of approximately $1,306,000. In connection with the sale of the common stock, the Company issued to the holders of the common stock warrants to purchase 1,909,684 shares of the Company's common stock at exercise prices of $.68 to $1.60 per share for terms of three to five years. For the six months ended March 31, 2002 holders of the Series B, C and D convertible preferred stock converted 495,859 shares of their preferred stock into 3,767,718 shares of the Company's common stock. Preferred stock dividends related to the Series B convertible preferred stock for the six months ended March 31, 2002 amounted to $178,822. As of March 31, 2001, the total amount of unpaid and undeclared dividends was $252,750. 5.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION. - --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report. This report may contain forward-looking statements. For a description of risks and uncertainties relating to such forward-looking statements, see the Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks section later in this Item. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Revenues Sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $1,001,541, or approximately 81%, to $2,231,119 from $1,229,578 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, sales increased $3,074,619, or approximately 128%, to $5,473,533 from $2,398,914. The change for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 primarily reflects the increase in sales of its ORALscreen(TM) products which included sales to one major customer of $200,000 and $1,978,000, respectively. Operating Expenses Cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002 were approximately 68% of sales which compares to the cost of sales of 65% for the three months ended March 31, 2001. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, the cost of sales were 57% compared to 70% of sales for the same period of Fiscal 2001. The increase in cost of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2002 reflected a shift in the product mix to lower margin products. However, the improvement for the six months ended March 31, 2002 was primarily due to the increase in sales described above and the overall shift in the product mix to the higher margin ORALscreen products. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2002 increased $165,576, or approximately 12%, to $1,599,040 from $1,433,364 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, selling, general and administrative expenses increased $294,595 or approximately 10%, to $3,107,958 from $2,813,363 for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The increase for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 reflected the expanded sales, marketing and administrative efforts associated with the Company's OralScreen and HairScreen products and expenses from BJR of approximately $40,000 and $104,000, respectively. Expenses for research and development for the three months ended March 31, 2002 amounted to $275,035 compared to $510,170 for the corresponding period of the prior year. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, expenses for research and development were $667,190 versus $944,883 for the six months ended March 31, 2001. The change for the three and six months ended March 31,2002 was primarily attributable to the decrease in development fees and expenses paid to outside entities for research and development activities related to the Company's OralScreen products and oral fluid disease testing applications. For the three months and six months ended March 31, 2002, amortization of goodwill which resulted from the Company's acquisition of BJR and USDTL was $77,498 and $154,996, respectively, compared to $73,424 and $143,848, respectively, for the three and six ended March 31, 2001. The change reflects the goodwill amortization related to acquisition of BJR on March 1, 2001. Other Income and Expense No interest income was earned for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $587 and $733, respectively for the same periods of Fiscal 2001. The decrease resulted primarily from the reduced interest earned on cash management accounts. Interest expense and financing costs were $19,218 for the three months ended March 31, 2002 compared to $15,642 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2001. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, interest expense and financing costs were $39,793 versus $25,575 for the same period in the prior year. The change for the three and six months ended March 31, 2002 primarily reflects increased interest expense on bank advances related to financing of accounts receivable and loans from private parties. For the three months ended March 31, 2002, other income amounted to $3,536 as compared to other expense of $1,212 for the three months ended March 31, 2001. Other income for the six months ended March 31, 2002 was $19,703 versus other expense of $1,924 for the corresponding period of the prior year. The change for the three months ended March 31, 2002 is mainly a result of the gain from the sale of an item of equipment. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, the change also reflects the gain from the sale of a small equity investment held by the Company in addition to the equipment sale gain. Net Loss Primarily as a result of the factors described above, the Company had a net loss of $1,245,185, $ .03 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2002, as compared to a net loss of $1,607,640, $ .09 per basic and diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2001. For the six months ended March 31, 2002, the Company had a net loss of $1,623,591, $.04 per basic and diluted share, versus a net loss of $3,218,157, $.18 per basic and diluted share, for the six months ended March 31, 2001. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY At March 31, 2002 and September 30, 2001 the Company had working capital (deficiency) of $201,659 and ($958,293), respectively, and cash and cash equivalents of $930,383 and $245,409, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended March 31, 2002 amounted to $1,794,552 resulting primarily from a net loss of $1,623,591, a gain from the sale on an equity investment and equipment of $18,943, an increase in inventories of $19,982, a decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $181,558 and a decrease in deferred income of $385,000; partially offset by depreciation and amortization of $107,729, amortization of goodwill of $154,996, a payment of common stock for services of $26,900, an increase in the provision for losses on accounts receivable of $12,132, a decrease in accounts receivable of $113,003, a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets of $1,535 and a decrease in other assets of $18,227. Net cash provided by financing and investing activities during the six months ended March 31, 2002 amounted to $2,479,526 which included proceeds from the sale of an equity investment and equipment of $31,891, proceeds from the sale of common stock and warrants of $1,306,000, proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options of $1,257,423, and a decrease in stock subscription receivable of $35,000; offset in part by the repayment of notes payable and long term debt of $36,745 and purchases of property and equipment of $114,043. Since October 2001, the Company received proceeds of approximately $1,306,000 from the sale of 1,909,684 shares of the Company's common stock and warrants to purchase 1,909,684 shares of the Company's common stock at exercise prices of $.68 -$1.60 per share for a period of three to five years. Also during this period, the Company received approximately $1,257,000 from the exercise of stock options and warrants to purchase 2,319,734 shares of the Company's common stock. In connection with the exercise of certain warrants, the Company issued to the holders warrants to purchase 1,750,070 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $.68 for a term of three years. The Company plans to raise up to $10,000,000 from the sales of equity and/or debt securities. The Company plans to use the proceeds from these financings to provide working capital and capital equipment funding to operate the Company, to expand the Company's business, to further develop and enhance the ORALscreen and HAIRscreen drug screening systems and to pursue the development of in-vitro oral fluid diagnostic testing products. However, there can be no assurance that these financings will be achieved. For the balance of fiscal year 2002, the Company's cash requirements are expected to include primarily the funding of operating losses, the payment of outstanding accounts payable, the repayment of certain notes payable, the funding of operating capital to grow the Company's drugs of abuse testing products and services, and the continued funding for the development of in-vitro oral fluid diagnostic testing products. Operating revenues of the Company grew significantly in the first half of Fiscal 2002 and are expected to grow during the remainder of Fiscal 2002 as the Company expands its shipments of new and enhanced ORALscreen products and grows the business of USDTL and BJR. Based on current sales, expense and cash flow projections, the Company believes that the current level of cash and cash equivalents on hand and most importantly, a portion of the anticipated net proceeds from the financing mentioned above would be sufficient to fund operations until the Company achieves profitability. There can be no assurance that the Company will consummate the above-mentioned financing, or that any or all of the net proceeds sought thereby will be obtained. Once the Company achieves profitability, the longer-term cash requirements of the Company to fund operating activities, purchase capital equipment, expand the existing business and develop new products are expected to be met by the anticipated cash flow from operations and proceeds from the financings described above. However, because there can be no assurances that sales will materialize as forecasted, management will continue to closely monitor and attempt to control costs and will continue to actively seek the needed additional capital. As a result of the Company's recurring losses from operations and working capital deficit, the report of its independent certified public accountants relating to the financial statements for Fiscal 2001 contains an explanatory paragraph stating substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Such report states that the ultimate outcome of this matter could not be determined as the date of such report (November 20, 2001). The Company's plans to address the situation are presented above. However, there are no assurances that these endeavors will be successful or sufficient.
