Acquisition or Disposition of Assets On March 23, 2004, Advanced Nutraceuticals, Inc. ("ANI" or the "Company") completed the sale of all of the assets used in the operations of its pharmaceutical products subsidiary, ANI Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("ANIP"), to ANIP Acquisition Company (the "Buyer"). The assets included the land and building in Gulfport, Mississippi used in ANIP's operations, which were owned by the Company's Bactolac Pharmaceutical Inc., subsidiary, as well as all equipment, machinery, inventory and accounts receivable. Prior to the closing, there was no material relationship between the Buyer and the Company, except that the Buyer's Chief Executive Officer had provided consulting services to ANIP for three months in 2003. At closing, the Company received approximately $3.1 million in cash, which was used to repay outstanding indebtedness to the Company's lenders. An additional $250,000 was placed into a short-term escrow account to be applied against possible indemnity claims that may arise during the six-month period after closing. At Closing the Buyer also assumed the outstanding trade accounts payable and specified accrued expenses of ANIP. The consideration for the ANIP assets was determined principally by calculating ANIP's working capital and a negotiated value of the land and building. Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.
