AMERICAN PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1997
The Company:
The Company operates in one business segment, the repackaging and distribution
(both domestically and internationally) of over-the-counter and prescription
drugs and vitamin products.
Basis of Preparation:
The accompanying financial statements as at June 30, 1997 and for the six and
three month periods ended June 30, 1997 and June 30, 1996 are unaudited;
however, in the opinion of management of the Company such statements include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair
statement of the information presented therein. The balance sheet as at December
31, 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-QSB, the accompanying financial
statements and these notes do not include all disclosures required by generally
accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Accordingly,
these statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's most recent
annual financial statements.
Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
those to be achieved for a full year.
Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of consolidation:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of American
Pharmaceutical Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary (U.S. Labs), and a majority
owned subsidiary (Rx Mail). Significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. References herein to the "Company" refer
to American Pharmaceutical Company and its subsidiaries, or American
Pharmaceutical Company, as the context may require.
Income Taxes:
Income tax benefits associated with the Company's net operating losses have not
been recognized since the likelihood of realization cannot be determined.
Contingencies and Other Matters:
Legal proceedings:
The Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, APC, has been named as a defendant in
several product liability cases involving Diethylstilbestrol, or DES, a product
produced by an unrelated corporation which, in 1973, sold certain tangible and
intangible assets to APC. All of the pending cases are being defended by
insurance carriers and in no case has a judgement been entered against APC.
While the lawsuits seek damages in excess of the Company's insurance coverage,
Christian Van Pelt, P.C., General Counsel to the Company has advised the Company
that the likelihood of a successful material judgement against the Company is
remote, accordingly, it is the opinion of management that the outcome of this
litigation will not have a material effect on the Company's financial
statements.
5
A shareholder of the Company filed a lawsuit in 1995 in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia contending that certain
misrepresentations were made to him in the written offering materials circulated
by the Company in connection with the private placement of the Company's
securities. As damages, plaintiff was seeking a return of his investment
(approximately $57,000, plus an unspecified amount of interest). On May 13, 1996
the Court directed a verdict in favor of the Company.
In April, 1996 the former president and director of the Company filed a
complaint against the Company and Christian Van Pelt in the United Stated
District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company was notified
on August 12, 1996 that Mr. Brown discontinued the complaint.
Debt Restructuring:
In April 1995, the Company and the former shareholders of the Company entered
into an agreement to amend certain agreements relating to the sale and purchase
of the Company in 1992. Pursuant to the agreement, amounts payable to the former
shareholders of $439,000 and $1,229,000 due them pursuant to notes payable and
noncompetition obligations, respectively, were exchanged for $1,000,000 of
modified promissory notes and 267,363 shares of the Company's Common Stock
valued at $2.50 per share. The transaction was accounted for in accordance with
SFAS 15, Accounting for Debt Restructuring.
(1) $805,000 of such amount represents the discounted value of the promissory
notes issued in connection with the debt restructuring and is payable in monthly
installments through 2002. The discount relects an effective interest rate of 1
1/2%. The notes are subordinated to certain future financings and are
collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. Notes for
$660,000 were exchanged for 267,363 shres of the Company's Common Stock in April
1995.
Maturities of debt during the next five years, including the portion classified
as current, are $144,000 in 1997, $144,000 in 1998, $144,000 in 1999, $144,000
in 2000 and $137,000 thereafter, less amounts representing imputed interest of
$45,000.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
Results of Operations:
Sales:
Net sales for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997 were $1,870,000 and
$953,000 compared to $2,047,000 and $933,000 in the corresponding period of the
prior fiscal year.
The Company recently appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer, a
new Vice President of Sales and Marketing to assist management in increasing
sales and improving customer relations and service, and a new Vice President of
Production to reduce costs and shorten inventory turnaround time. Immediate
attention has been given to (I) expanding the company's customer base, (ii)
evaluating the current product line to eliminate the Company's internal sales
staff evaluating the productivity and geographic dispersion of its independent
sales representatives. In addition, the Company intends to aggressively develop
and promote its sales programs and new product introductions.
While management believe these actions are important steps toward increasing
sales, future increases in sales continue to be dependent on, among other
things, (I) sufficient levels of capital, (ii) increases in repackaging
throughput (see "Gross Margins" below), and (iii) its ability to broaden the
customer base and product line. There can be no assurance that such efforts will
be successful.
Gross Margins:
The Company's gross margin for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997
decreased to $48,000 and($41,000) compared to $287,000 and $114,000 for the
corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. The decrease in gross margins
were attributable to an unfavorable sales mix, unfavorable absorption resulting
from lower sales volume, and spending variances.
Management, including the recently appointed President and Chief Executive
Officer and new Vice Presidents, are taking steps to improve efficiencies,
reduce costs and enhance customer service. Such steps include new procedures to
ensure that the Company is purchasing quality material at competitive prices,
establishing minimum and maximum inventory levels, establishing larger and
standard batch sizes, establishing "brite" (filled but unlabeled bottles) stock
to expedite filling of customer orders and evaluate the current equipment with
the intention of reducing labor intensive operations. Also, the company will
utilize excess capacity by providing custom packaging of products provided by
the customer (toll packaging). In addition, management expects to work with
employees and their union to develop an incentive plan to increase output and
maintain the quality of the products. There can be no assurance that such
efforts will be successful.
Operating Expenses:
Selling and distribution:
Selling and distribution costs for the six and three months ended June 30, 1997
decreased $124,000 and $60,000 respectively, from the corresponding period of
the prior fiscal year. The decrease in such costs is primarily attributable to
decreases in personnel costs and the reassignment of personnel to other
departments within the Company. Management expects selling and distribution
costs in the futures to remain, as a percentage of sales, at the level of the
past six months, but there can be no assurance that such efforts to control
costs will be successful.
General and administrative:
General and administrative costs for the six and three months ended June 30,
1997 increased $12,000
7
and decreased $9,000 respectively, from the corresponding period of the prior
fiscal year. The increases in such costs are primarily attributable to the
reassignment of personnel within the Company.
Loss from operations:
Management's effort to achieve profitability is largely dependent on its ability
to increase sales and improve gross margins and control operating costs.
Financial Condition:
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
The Company's working capital decreased $143,000 to ($2,442,000), at June 30,
1997 from ($2,299,000) at December 31, 1996. During the six months ended June
30, 1997 the Company received short term loans from shareholders of $600,000.
Since the Company's acquisition, cash expenditures have substantially exceeded
its cash generated from operations and the Company has relied on the sale of
capital stock and capital contributions and loans to fund its operating
activities and capital expenditures. While the Company is taking steps to
generate working capital, increase sales and achieve profitability, the current
level of liquidity and capital resources, is not sufficient to fund the
operations and growth of the Company. Management is currently seeking alternate
sources of financing to fund its operations including the sale of additional
capital stock. There can be no assurance that alternative sources of financing
would be available to the Company on agreeable terms.
