NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS DECEMBER 28, 1996 (UNAUDITED) Pharmaceutical Resources, Inc. (the "Company" or "PRI") operates in one business segment, the manufacture and distribution of generic pharmaceuticals. Marketed products are principally in oral solid (tablet, caplet and capsule) form, with a small number of products in the form of creams and liquids. BASIS OF PREPARATION: The accompanying financial statements at December 28, 1996 and for the three- month periods ended December 28, 1996 and December 30, 1995 are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management of PRI, such statements include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair statement of the information presented therein. The balance sheet at September 30, 1996 was derived from the audited financial statements at such date. Pursuant to accounting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable to quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, the accompanying financial statements and these notes do not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for audited financial statements. Accordingly, these statements should be read in conjunction with PRI's most recent annual financial statements. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be achieved for full fiscal years. SHORT TERM DEBT: On December 27, 1996, Par entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") which provides Par with a three-year revolving line of credit. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Par is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base established under the Loan Agreement or (ii) $20,000,000. The borrowing base is limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory of Par as determined from time to time by GECC. The interest rate charge on the line of credit is based upon a per annum rate of 2.50% above the 30-day commercial paper rate for high-grade unsecured notes adjusted monthly. The line of credit with GECC is secured by the assets of Par and PRI other than real property and is guaranteed by PRI. As a condition to such facility, Par, PRI, and their affiliates have established a cash management system pursuant to which all cash and cash equivalents received by any of such entities are deposited into a lockbox account over which GECC has sole operating control and which are applied on a daily basis to reduce amounts outstanding under the line of credit. As of December 28, 1996, approximately $3,600,000 was outstanding under such line of credit. The revolving credit facility, which is subject to covenants which are based on various financial benchmarks, replaced PRI's previous $16,000,000 revolving facility and $4,000,000 term loan facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. Any significant reduction in the borrowing base will adversely affect the Company's liquidity. INCOME TAXES: Based on the Company's recent performance and the uncertainty of the generic business in which it operates, management believes that future operating income might not be sufficient to recognize fully the net operating loss carryforwards of the Company. Therefore, the Company is not recognizing a benefit for its operating loss this quarter. If the Company is unable to generate sufficient taxable income in the future, increases in the valuation will be required through a charge to expense. The Company incurred income tax expense of $410,000 in the current quarter due to interest relating to a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service in fiscal 1995 for the disallowance of the Company's tax credit in prior periods with respect to certain research and development credits. --5-- PHARMACEUTICAL RESOURCES, INC. NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--CONTINUED DECEMBER 28, 1996 (UNAUDITED) COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS: Retirement Plans: The Company has a defined contribution, social security integrated Retirement Plan providing retirement benefits to eligible employees as defined in the Plan. The Board of Directors of Par authorized the cessation of employer contributions effective December 30, 1996. Consequently, participants in the Retirement Plan will no longer be entitled to any employer contributions under such plan for 1996 or subsequent years. The Company also maintains a Retirement Savings Plan whereby eligible employees are permitted to contribute from 1% to 12% of pay to this Plan. The Company contributes an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the pay contributed by the employee. In fiscal 1997, the Company intends to merge the Retirement Plan into the Retirement Savings Plan. Legal Proceedings: The Company is involved in certain litigation matters, including certain product liability actions and actions by two former officers for, among other things, breach of contract. Such actions seek damages from the Company, including compensatory and punitive damages. The Company intends to defend these actions vigorously. The Company believes that these actions are incidental to the conduct of its business and that the ultimate resolution thereof will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations. Restructuring and Cost Reductions: The Company implemented measures during the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996, which continued in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, in an effort to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies. Such measures provided for a reduction of the work force, changes in senior management, a reorganization of certain existing personnel and reductions in certain expenses. --6-- ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS CERTAIN STATEMENTS IN THIS FORM 10-Q CONSTITUTE "FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE PRIVATE SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995, INCLUDING THOSE CONCERNING MANAGEMENT'S EXPECTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO FUTURE FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE EVENTS, PARTICULARLY RELATING TO SALES OF CURRENT PRODUCTS AS WELL AS THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW MANUFACTURED AND DISTRIBUTED PRODUCTS. SUCH STATEMENTS INVOLVE KNOWN AND UNKNOWN RISKS, UNCERTAINTIES AND CONTINGENCIES, MANY OF WHICH ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE COMPANY, WHICH COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS AND OUTCOMES TO DIFFER MATERIALLY FROM THOSE EXPRESSED HEREIN. FACTORS THAT MIGHT AFFECT SUCH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS SET FORTH IN THIS FORM 10-Q INCLUDE, AMONG OTHERS, (I) INCREASED COMPETITION FROM NEW AND EXISTING COMPETITORS AND PRICING PRACTICES FROM SUCH COMPETITORS, (II) THE AMOUNT OF FUNDS CONTINUING TO BE AVAILABLE FOR INTERNAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AND RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT JOINT VENTURES, (III) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT DELAYS OR DELAYS IN OBTAINING REGULATORY APPROVALS, AND (IV) THE ABILITY OF THE COMPANY TO RETAIN AND ATTRACT MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN KEY OPERATIONAL AREAS. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL The Company incurred an operating loss for the three-month period ended December 28, 1996 of $2,596,000 compared to a loss of $497,000 in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The loss is principally due to sales and gross margin declines, as described below. If sales declines are not offset by increased sales of new distributed or manufactured products, net sales and gross margin declines will continue and, accordingly, result in continuing losses. As a result of the recent losses, the Company is continuing to search for strategic alternatives to improve its financial condition and product line. The continued price and profit margin erosion on certain of the Company's products reflects a trend currently being experienced in the generic drug industry in the United States. The factors contributing to the intense competition and affecting both the introduction of new products and the pricing and profit margins of the Company, include, among other things, (i) introduction of other generic drug manufacturer's products in direct competition with the Company's significant products, (ii) competition from brand name drug manufacturers selling generic versions of their drugs, (iii) increased ability of generic competitors to enter the market after patent expiration, diminishing the amount and duration of significant profits, and (iv) willingness of generic drug customers, including wholesale and retail customers, to switch among pharmaceutical manufacturers. In response to recent results and industry trends, the Company has implemented measures to reduce costs and increase operating efficiencies (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters- Restructuring and Cost Reductions"). These measures have begun to reduce operating costs in fiscal 1997. No assurances can be given that reduced costs will return the Company to profitability. The Company plans to continue to invest in its internal research and development efforts in addition to pursuing additional products for sale through new and existing distribution agreements and research and development joint ventures. There have been no significant sales of any new manufactured or distributed products introduced in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. The Company is engaged in efforts, subject to U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") approval and other factors, to introduce new products as a result of its research and development efforts and distribution agreements. No assurance can be given that any additional products for sale by the Company will happen or that sales of additional products will reduce losses or return the Company to profitability. Continuing losses will adversely affect the Company's liquidity and, accordingly, its ability to fund research and development or ventures relating to the sale of new products (see "-Financial Condition-Liquidity and Capital Resources"). NET SALES Net sales of $12,470,000 for the three months ended December 28, 1996 decreased $2,389,000, or 16%, from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decline is primarily due to decreased sales of manufactured --7-- products which resulted, in large, part from lower pricing and decreases in volume of one of the Company's significant products, and to a lesser extent, one other significant product. The reduction in pricing and volume results from increased competition from other drug manufacturers. Sales of distributed products were consistent with the levels achieved in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. Levels of sales are principally dependent upon, among other things, (i) pricing levels and competition, (ii) market penetration for the existing product line, (iii) approval of Abbreviated New Drug Applications ("ANDAs") and introduction of new manufactured products, (iv) introduction of new distributed products and (v) the level of customer service. GROSS MARGIN The Company's gross margin of $1,232,000 (10% of net sales) for the three months ended December 28, 1996 decreased by $2,865,000 from $4,097,000 (28% of net sales) in the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The gross margin decline is primarily due to lower selling prices and decreased volumes of certain significant manufactured products resulting from the introduction of other generic drug manufacturers' products in direct competition with the Company's significant products. Gross margins on distributed products for the current three-month period were comparable to gross margins for the quarter ended December 30, 1995. Inventory write-offs, taken in the normal course of business, amounted to $333,000 for the three-month period ended December 28, 1996, compared to $316,000 in the corresponding period of the prior year. The inventory write- offs are related to the disposal of finished products due to short shelf life and work in process inventory not meeting the Company's quality control standards. OPERATING EXPENSES Research and Development Research and development expenses for the three months ended December 28, 1996 were $704,000 versus $363,000 for the three months ended December 30, 1995. In the current quarter, there were no payments to or reimbursements from Sano Corporation ("Sano"), while in the prior year payments of $1,075,000 were more than offset by a reimbursement from Sano of $1,500,000. The Company has a distribution agreement with Sano to distribute generic transdermal products developed by Sano. The Company recorded its share of the Clal joint venture's (see below) research and development expenses of $148,000 for the current three- month period compared to $153,000 for the corresponding period of the prior year. To further expand its product line, the Company is continuing its efforts to introduce new products from internal research and development and from existing joint ventures, as well as searching for additional research and development joint ventures. In May 1995, the Company formed an alliance with Clal Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. ("Clal") to develop, manufacture and distribute generic pharmaceuticals worldwide. A research and development joint venture, formed in Israel and owned 49% by the Company and 51% by Clal, has commenced operations and identified approximately 35 products for research. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative costs are $3,124,000 (25% of net sales) for the three month period ended December 28, 1996 versus $4,231,000 (28% of net sales) for the corresponding period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease in the period is primarily attributable to a decline in personnel costs resulting from recent headcount reductions and the amendment of a pension plan (see "Notes to Financial Statements-Commitments, Contingencies and Other Matters-Retirement Plans" and "-Restructuring and Cost Reductions"). In addition, fees for consulting and professional services, costs for advertising and developmental marketing and bad debt expense have been reduced in the current fiscal quarter. The prior year's costs included severance expenses related to management reorganization at that time. --8-- Income Taxes Management has determined, based on the Company's performance and the uncertainty of the generic business in which it operates, that future operating income might not be sufficient to recognize fully the net operating loss carryforwards of the Company. Therefore, the Company is not recognizing a benefit for its operating loss this quarter. The Company incurred income tax expense of $410,000 in the current quarter due to interest relating to a settlement with the Internal Revenue Service in fiscal 1995 for the disallowance of the Company's tax credit for prior periods with respect to certain research and development credits. The Company recorded an income tax benefit of $131,000 during the first quarter of fiscal 1996 which was reversed during the fourth quarter of the same year. FINANCIAL CONDITION LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Working capital of $16,829,000 at December 28, 1996 represents a decrease of $3,887,000 from September 30, 1996. The decrease is principally due to the use of funds to fund operating losses. As a result of a cash management system pursuant to the financing agreement that the Company entered into with General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC"), there is no cash balance at December 28, 1996 (see "-Financing"). The working capital ratio of 2.6x declined from 2.9x at fiscal year end. During the first quarter of fiscal 1997, the Company sold 7,000 shares of Sano stock yielding net proceeds of approximately $135,000. In January 1997, the Company advanced to Sano $1,957,000 as funding for the research and development costs of certain generic transdermal products. The Company is committed to invest $3,920,000 (which includes the balance of the commitment from fiscal year 1996) in the Clal joint venture through fiscal 1997. The Company and Clal are negotiating to amend their remaining funding commitments in order to reflect the present and contemplated capital requirements of the Joint Venture, although they have not yet amended their written agreement. In the event that the Company and Clal do not reach a written agreement and either party makes an additional contribution to the joint venture, the other party's share in the profits and capital of the joint venture will be diluted. The Company expects to fund its research and development activities, including its obligations under the existing distribution and development arrangements discussed above, out of its working capital, and if necessary with borrowings against its line of credit, to the extent then available (see "-- Financing"). If, however, the Company continues to experience significant losses, its liquidity and, accordingly, its ability to fund research and development or ventures relating to the distribution of new products will be materially and adversely affected. FINANCING As of December 28, 1996, the Company's total outstanding short-term and long-term debt amounted to $3,624,000 and $1,569,000, respectively. The short- term debt consists of the outstanding amount under the Company's line of credit with GECC and the long-term debt consists primarily of an outstanding mortgage loan to another bank. On December 27, 1996, Par entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with GECC which provides Par with a three-year revolving line of credit. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Par is permitted to borrow up to the lesser of (i) the borrowing base established under the Loan Agreement or (ii) $20,000,000. The borrowing base is limited to 85% of eligible accounts receivable plus 50% of eligible inventory of Par, each as determined from time to time by GECC. The interest rate on the line of credit is based upon a per annum rate of 2.50% above the 30-day commercial paper rate for high-grade unsecured notes adjusted monthly. The line of credit with GECC is secured by the assets of Par and PRI other than real property and is guaranteed by PRI. As a condition to such facility, Par, PRI and their affiliates have established a cash management system pursuant to which all cash and cash equivalents received by any of such entities are deposited into a lockbox --9-- account over which GECC has sole operating control and which are applied on a daily basis to reduce amounts outstanding under the line of credit. The revolving credit facility, which is subject to covenants based on various financial benchmarks, replaced PRI's previous $16,000,000 revolving facility and $4,000,000 term loan facility with Fleet Bank, N.A. Any significant reduction in the borrowing base will adversely affect the Company's liquidity. --10-- PART II. OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 6.
