Item 1. Description of Business
General
Integrated BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “INBP”), is engaged primarily in manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products; the manufacture and distribution of Paclitaxel, which is the primary chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment
of breast cancer, Pharmaceutical technical services through its contract research organization; and the biotechnology business that uses its patented plant-based technology to produce vaccines and therapeutic antibodies. The Company’s customers are located primarily in the United States. The Company was previously known as Integrated Health Technologies, Inc. and, prior to that, as Chem International, Inc. The Company was reincorporated in its current form in Delaware in 1995. The
Company’s common stock trades on the NASDAQ Global Market under the symbol “INBP.” The Company continues to do business as Chem International, Inc. with its customers and certain vendors.
The Company has three primary business segments, Nutraceuticals, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnologies as described below. In November 2007, we entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution”) with iBioPharma, Inc. the sole subsidiary in the Biotechnologies segment (“iBio”), whereby, iBio agreed to distribute, pro rata, to the holders of our common stock, all of the shares of
iBio’s common stock we owned. The completion of the Distribution was subject to various customary closing conditions, including the declaration by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the effectiveness of the registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 of iBio’s common stock. The Distribution was completed on August 18, 2008 and each shareholder of INBP’s common stock received one share of iBio’s common stock for each share the shareholder
owned as of August 12, 2008, the Record Date. The Distribution should qualify as a tax-free reorganization under Section 355 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Agreement prohibits iBio from issuing any additional shares of its common stock in excess of the shares issued with respect to the Distribution for the two years immediately following the effective date of the Distribution.
On August 19, 2008, we entered into a Conversion Agreement with iBio, where approximately $5.2 million of the intercompany debt with iBio was contributed to additional paid in capital and $2.7 million of the intercompany debt purchased approximately 1.3 million shares of iBio, representing 6% of the then outstanding shares of iBio.
Additionally, on August 19, 2008, iBio closed on its $5.0 million capital raise in connection with its private placement of approximately ten percent (10%) of iBio. Such funds were released to iBio from an escrow account and it issued approximately 2.3 million shares of iBio’s par value $0.001 common stock, at an estimated purchase price of approximately $2.13 per share. This private placement reduced
our ownership in iBio to 5.4%.
The financial statements contained herein, except for Item 8 Note 20. Subsequent Events. give no effect to the spin-off and related transactions.
Nutraceuticals
The Company’s subsidiary, InB:Manhattan Drug Company, Inc. (“Manhattan Drug”), manufactures vitamins and nutritional supplements for sale to distributors, multilevel marketers and specialized health-care providers. The Company also manufactures, through Manhattan Drug, such products for sale under its own private label, “The Vitamin Factory”, primarily through mail order utilizing catalogs and the Internet through wholly-owned subsidiaries, The Vitamin Factory, Inc. and Scientific Sports Nutrition. The Vitamin Factory’s Internet site also offers for sale the Company’s branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line. The Company also distributes fine natural chemicals through its wholly-owned subsidiary IHT Health Products, Inc. and is a distributor of certain raw materials for DSM Nutritional Products, Inc.
3
AgroLabs, Inc. manufactures and distributes for sales through major mass market, grocery, drug and vitamin retailers, healthful nutritional products under the following brands: Naturally Noni, Naturally Pomegranate, Naturally Aloe, Naturally Thai Mangosteen, Peaceful Sleep, Green Envy, 1st Choice Multi-Vitamin, and other products which are being introduced into the market, these are referred to as our branded proprietary Nutraceutical business.
The Organic Beverage Company, formerly Bioscience Technologies, Inc, manufactures and distributes Syzmo™, a USDA organic energy drink which is the first organic energy drink to obtain a glycemic index rating (“GI Rating”) from Glycemic Index Limited. The Company completed the acquisition of various assets related to the Syzmo ™ product lines from BevSpec, Inc. (“BevSpec”) on February 25, 2007. The assets included trademarks, copyrights, artwork, formula for the products, customer lists, inventories, accounts receivable and certain books and records. We also acquired formulas for USDA organic soda beverages, which will also contain a GI Rating. Subsequent to June 30, 2008, we curtailed our operations of this subsidiary and combined the sales efforts for this product line with AgroLabs.
Pharmaceuticals
On February 1, 2003 and July 22, 2003, the Company acquired an aggregate of 97% of the shares of common stock of Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Paxis”). Paxis manufactures and distributes Paclitaxel, which is the primary chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of breast cancer, at its Boulder, Colorado manufacturing facility. The Company acquired 50% of the shares of Paxis from Trade Investment Services, LLC (“TIS”) (an entity controlled equally by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Company, a brother of the CEO, who is also a director of the Company, and a significant shareholder and director of the Company), which funded Paxis’ development. In November 2004, Paxis changed its name to InB:Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Paxis acquired from Hauser, Inc. (“Hauser”) its cGMP-(current good manufacturing practices) compliant Paclitaxel production facilities, processing equipment, and intellectual assets. Paxis also purchased intellectual property (the “Technology”) from Hauser. On October 8, 2003, the Company acquired the remaining three (3%) percent of Paxis.
In May 2006, Paxis announced the execution of a supply agreement with a European generics manufacturing company with extensive sales, marketing, and distribution channels in the European Community, Eastern Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. The agreement provides for minimum purchases during the first year of at least $2.4 million of Paxis' Approved Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) product. Paxis made its first shipment under the supply agreement in August 2006. Due to a delay in the approval of our API product in the European community, additional shipments under the supply agreement have been delayed. Our customer expects to receive approval in the future, upon approval; Paxis will recommence shipping API under this agreement. The Company can give no assurance that Paxis can be operated profitably.
In September 2008, we announced our engagement with an investment advisor to explore selling this segment.
Biotechnologies
On February 21, 2003, the Company completed a merger with NuCycle Acquisition Corp. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiary NuCycle Therapy, Inc., “NuCycle”). In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, NuCycle changed its name to InB:Biotechnologies, Inc. (“InB:Biotech”, now know as “iBio”). iBio is focused on using and promoting the use of our proprietary plant-based technology platform by which targeted proteins can be produced in plants for the development and manufacture of novel vaccines and therapeutics for use in humans and for certain veterinary applications. Historically, we have also used plants as sources of high-quality nutritional supplements. The Company has a patented process for hydroponic growth of edible plants that causes them to accumulate high levels of important nutritional minerals such as chromium, selenium, iron and zinc.
In collaboration with Fraunhofer USA Center for Molecular Biotechnology (“CMB”), we were developing the capability to rapidly produce effective, plant-made influenza vaccines. Programs are on-going to create novel subunit vaccines directed against both human and avian strains. Our near-term objective is to complete preclinical evaluation and transition selected vaccine candidates into Phase I clinical trials. Upon completion, we are required to make milestone payments related to achieving certain flu vaccine studies and our ongoing Anthrax study. After completion of Phase I, we agreed to conduct research to enhance, improve and expand the existing intellectual property, and CMB will develop processes, production techniques and methodologies of the existing proprietary technology and
4
intellectual property for commercializing external applications. For this research we have committed to make non-refundable payments of $2.0 million per year for five years, aggregating to $10.0 million, beginning November 2009. We will make royalty payments to CMB based on receipts derived by the Company from sales of products utilizing the proprietary technology for a
period of fifteen years.
In turn, CMB shall pay us royalty payments for all receipts, if any, realized by CMB sales, licensing or commercialization of the intellectual property acquired by them for the same fifteen year period. Furthermore, CMB has agreed to expand at a minimum, an addition $2.0 million per year in the same timeframe as us for research and development on the intellectual
property.
Currently, we have executed other research agreements with CMB with an aggregate remaining financial commitment, including milestone payments, of $12.8 million as of June 30, 2008. This segment was spun-off as of August 18, 2008 and we no longer have ownership rights in iBio’s intangible assets or any related financial commitments to CMB.
Significant Revenues from Major Customers
A significant portion of our net sales are concentrated among three customers, Herbalife International of America, Inc., Costco Wholesale, Inc. and Sam’s Club. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, these customers represented approximately 53% and 74% of total net sales, respectively. The loss of any of these customers could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
Raw Materials
The principal raw materials used in the manufacturing process in the Company’s Nutraceutical segment are natural and synthetic vitamins, minerals, herbs, related nutritional supplements, gelatin capsules, coating materials, organic and natural fruit extracts, fruit juices and the necessary components for packaging the finished products. The raw materials are available from numerous
sources within the United States and abroad. The gelatin capsules, coating materials and packaging materials are similarly widely available. The principal raw materials used in the Company’s Pharmaceutical segment are made up of a variety of materials used to develop and manufacture Paclitaxel. The Company generally purchases its raw materials, on a purchase order basis, without long-term commitments.
Our principal suppliers in the Nutraceutical Segment are Creative Flavor Concepts, Inc., Triarco Industries, Inc., and DSM Nutritional Products, Inc. In connection with our Pharmaceutical Segment, botanical materials derived from the Canadian yew tree, or Taxus canadensis, are used to produce Paclitaxel. Canadian yew trees are in limited supply.
Development and Supply Agreement
On March 13, 1998, the Company signed a development and supply agreement with Herbalife International of America, Inc. (“Herbalife”) whereby the Company develops, manufactures and supplies certain nutritional products to Herbalife, which agreement was renewed through December 31, 2009. This agreement does not, however, obligate the Company to supply any particular amount of goods to Herbalife. The Company and Herbalife are currently negotiating an amendment to this agreement which should result in increased volumes and an extension to the existing term.
Seasonality
The Company’s results of operations in its Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnologies segments are not significantly affected by seasonal factors. The Nutraceutical business segment tends to be seasonal. The Company has found that in its first fiscal quarter ending in September, orders for its branded proprietary Nutraceutical products slow (absent the addition of new customers with a significant first time order), as buyers in their markets may have purchased sufficient inventory to carry them through the summer months. Conversely, in the Company’s second fiscal quarter, ending in December, orders for its products increase as the demand for the Company’s branded Nutraceutical products seems to increase in late December to earlier January as consumers become health conscious as they enter the new year.
5
Variability of Quarterly Results and Impact of Advertising
In connection with our program to expand the Nutraceutical business, advertising and promotional expenses, including those classified as a reduction in sales, were $8.1 or 16.2% of net sales, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and were $9.7 million or 16.2% of net sales, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. As the Company continues this program it may continue to incur increased advertising and promotional expenses. Such expenses include promotional activities conducted through the retail trade, distributors or directly with consumers, including in-store displays, product placement programs, coupons, radio and print advertising, and other similar activities. Since such expenses may occur in fiscal quarters before resulting increases, if any, in revenues occur, the program may increase variability of our quarterly results. Other factors that also may influence the variability of quarterly results include general economic and industry conditions that affect consumer spending, changing consumer demands and current news on nutritional supplements. Accordingly, a comparison of our results of operations from consecutive periods is not necessarily meaningful, and our results of operations for any period are not necessarily indicative of future periods.
Intellectual Property
We have established an intellectual property position in three primary areas of plant-related technology: i) the production of proteins in a variety of plant-based expression systems utilizing a range of different vectors and approaches, with an emphasis on transient or sustained gene expression using viral vectors in connection with human applications; ii) the production of proteins in a
variety of plant-based expression systems utilizing a range of different vectors and approaches, with an emphasis on transient or sustained gene expression using viral vectors in connection with veterinarian applications; and iii) Nutritional formulations based on plant-derived minerals and methods for producing the formulations.
In the area of protein production in plants, the Company has twelve (12) utility patent applications and nine (9) provisional applications pending before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office currently pending. In addition, the Company has one (1) issued patent directed to Virus-Induced Gene Silencing in Plants. The technology is expected to be of use in improving levels of
protein expression using viral vectors in plants. The patents cover a range of technology platforms including transient expression of genes in plants using viral vectors and vector systems, trans-activation of gene expression in plants, production of pharmaceutically active proteins in sprouted seedlings with a focus on viral vectors, clonal plant tissues and cultures developed utilizing viral vectors, methods to facilitate purification of proteins expressed in plants, and improved
plant transformation systems. In the past year we have filed patent applications describing (1) optimization of plant growth conditions (including optimization of the physical and environmental conditions in which plants are grown for protein production) and (2) plant expression system utilizing a “launch vector,” which combines the advantageous features of standard agrobacterial binary plasmids and plant viral vectors. Specific areas covered include production of vaccine
antigens and multi-subunit proteins such as antibodies. The Company also has nineteen (19) foreign patent applications pending corresponding to many of these patent applications.
In the area of nutritional formulations, the Company has thirteen (13) issued U.S. patents (and four (4) foreign patents and five (5) pending patent applications) relating to methods for accumulating metals in plants. Two (2) out of the thirteen (13) patents relates to nutritional supplements containing methylselenocysteine. The Company also has one pending utility application relating to nutritional supplements containing methylselenocysteine.
Government Regulations
The manufacturing, processing, formulation, packaging, labeling and advertising of our products are subject to regulation by a number of federal agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), the Federal Trade
6
Commission (“FTC”), the United States Postal Service, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the United States Department of Agriculture. Our activities are also regulated by various state and local agencies in which our products are sold. The FDA is primarily responsible for the regulation of the manufacturing, labeling and sale of our products. The
operation of our vitamin manufacturing facility is subject to regulation by the FDA as a food manufacturing facility. The United States Postal Service and the FTC regulate advertising claims with respect to the Company’s products. In addition, we manufacture and market certain of our products in compliance with the guidelines promulgated by the United States Pharmacopoeia Convention, Inc. (“USP”) and other voluntary standard organizations.
In May 2007, we obtained from Quality Assurance International, certification of our records and facilities for the Syzmo™ beverage are in accordance with The Organic Foods Production Act of 1990 and 7 CFR Part 205 and with general guidelines established by the USDA’s National Organic Program.
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (“DSHEA”) was enacted on October 25, 1994. The Dietary Supplement Act amends the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FFD&CA”) by defining dietary supplements, which include vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements and herbs, and by providing a regulatory framework to ensure safe, quality dietary
supplements and the dissemination of accurate information about such products. Dietary supplements are regulated as foods under the DSHEA and FDA is generally prohibited from regulating the active ingredients in dietary supplements as food additives, or as drugs unless product claims trigger drug status. It requires the FDA to regulate dietary supplements so as to guarantee consumer access to beneficial dietary supplements, allowing truthful and proven claims. Generally, dietary
ingredients that were on the market before October 15, 1994 may be sold without FDA pre-approval and without notifying the FDA. However, new dietary ingredients (those not used in dietary supplements marketed before October 15, 1994) require pre-market submission to the FDA of evidence of a history of their safe use, or other evidence establishing that they are reasonably expected to be safe. There can be no assurance the FDA will accept the evidence of safety for any new dietary
ingredient we may decide to use. The FDA’s refusal to accept such evidence could result in regulation of such dietary ingredients as food additives, requiring the FDA pre-approval based on newly conducted, costly safety testing.
DSHEA provides for specific nutritional labeling requirements for dietary supplements effective January 1, 1997. The Dietary Supplement Act permits substantiated, truthful and non-misleading statements of nutritional support to be made in labeling, such as statements describing general well being from consumption of a dietary ingredient or the role of a nutrient or dietary ingredient in affecting or maintaining structure or function of the body. The FDA requires the Company to notify the agency of such statements. There can be no assurance that the FDA will not consider particular labeling statements used by us to be drug claims rather than acceptable statements of nutritional support, necessitating approval of a costly new drug application, or re-labeling to delete such statements. It is also possible that the FDA could allege false statements were submitted to it if structure/function claim notifications were either non-existent or so lacking in scientific support as to be plainly false.
In addition, the DSHEA authorizes the FDA to promulgate Current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMP”) specific to the manufacture of dietary supplements, to be modeled after food cGMP. The Company currently manufactures its dietary supplement products pursuant to food cGMP.
Dietary supplements are also subject to the Nutrition, Labeling and Education Act (“NLEA”), which regulates health claims, ingredient labeling and nutrient content claims characterizing the level of a nutrient in a product. NLEA prohibits the use of any health claim for dietary supplements unless the health claim is supported by significant scientific agreement and is
pre-approved by the FDA.
In certain markets, including the United States, claims made with respect to dietary supplements may change the regulatory status of our products. For example, in the United States, the FDA could possibly take the position that claims made for some of our products make those products new drugs requiring pre-approval by the FDA. The FDA could also place those products within the scope of its over-the-counter (“OTC”) drug regulations and require it to comply with a published FDA OTC monograph. OTC monographs dictate permissible ingredients, appropriate labeling language and require the marketer or supplier of the products to register and file annual drug listing information with the FDA. We do not, at present, sell OTC drug products. If the FDA were to assert that our product claims cause them to be considered new drugs or fall within the scope of OTC regulations, we would be required to
7
either, file a new drug application, comply with the applicable monographs, or change the claims made in connection with those products.
The FTC regulates the marketing practices and advertising of all our products. In recent years, the FTC instituted enforcement actions against several dietary supplement companies for false and misleading marketing practices and advertising of certain products. These enforcement actions have resulted in consent decrees and monetary payments by the companies involved. Under FTC standards,
the dissemination of any false advertising constitutes an unfair or deceptive act or practice actionable under Section 45 of the Fair Trade Commission Act and a false advertisement actionable under Section 52 of that Act. A false advertisement is one that is “misleading in a material respect.” In determining whether an advertisement or labeling information is misleading in a material respect, the FTC determines not only whether overt representations and implied
representations are false but also whether the advertisement fails to reveal material facts. Under the FTC’s standard, any health benefit representation made in advertising must be backed by “competent and reliable scientific evidence” by which the FTC means:
tests, analyses, research studies, or other evidence based upon the expertise of professionals in the relevant area, that have been conducted and evaluated in an objective manner by persons qualified to do so, using procedures generally accepted by the profession to yield accurate and reliable results.
The FTC has increased its review of the use of the type of testimonials that may be used to market our products. The FTC requires competent and reliable evidence substantiating claims and testimonials at the time that such claims of health benefit are first made. The failure to have this evidence when product claims are first made violates the Federal Trade Commission Act. Although the FTC has never threatened an enforcement action against the Company for the advertising of its products, there can be no assurance that the FTC will not question the advertising for our products in the future.
We believe we are currently in compliance with all applicable government regulations. We cannot predict what new legislation or regulations governing our operations will be enacted by legislative bodies or promulgated by agencies that regulate its activities. We recognize our industry has come under increased scrutiny, principally due to the FDA’s investigation of the use of ephedrine alkaloids (ephedra). The FDA is expected to increase its enforcement activity against dietary supplements that the Agency considers violative of FFD&CA. In particular, the FDA is increasing its enforcement of DSHEA provisions. Those activities will be enhanced by the appropriation for increased FDA budgets for dietary supplement regulation enforcement.
We believe we may become subject to additional laws or regulations administered by the FDA or other federal, state, or foreign regulatory authorities. We also believe the laws or regulations which are considered favorable may be repealed, or more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations may be implemented. Any or all of such requirements could be a burden to us. Future regulations could require us to:
· |
change the way it conducts business; |
· |
use expanded or different labeling; |
· |
recall, reformulate or discontinue certain products; |
· |
keep additional records; |
· |
increase the available documentation of the properties of its products; and/or |
· |
increase the scientific proof of product ingredients, safety, and/or usefulness. |
Competition
The business of manufacturing, distributing and marketing vitamins and nutritional supplements is highly competitive. Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial resources with which to manufacture and market their products. In particular, the retail segment is highly competitive. Many direct marketers not only focus on selling their own branded products, but offer national brands at discounts as well. Many competitors have established brand names recognizable to consumers. In addition, major Pharmaceutical companies offer nationally advertised multivitamin products.
8
Many of our competitors in the retailing segment have the financial resources to advertise freely, to promote sales and to produce sophisticated catalogs. In many cases, such competitors are able to offer price incentives for retail purchasers and offer participation in frequent buyers programs. Some retail competitors also manufacture their own products whereby they have the ability and financial incentive to sell their own product.
We intend to compete by stressing the quality of our manufacturing product, providing prompt service, competitive pricing of products in our marketing segment and by focusing on niche products in the international retail markets. We have also increased our advertising spending dollars to continue to promote our proprietary branded Nutraceutical product line and have expanded our
advertising medias from time to time, to include radio and print. In our Pharmaceutical segment we have hired staff with the responsibility to increase our sales and marketing efforts in the contract services and manufacturing sectors and increased our exposure to the Pharmaceutical community by attending targeted trade shows and training the staff to submit proposals and follow-up with their business contacts.
Research and Development Activities
We currently conduct research and development activities at our manufacturing facility, our wholly-owned contract research organization and through arrangements with third party research facilities. Our research and development activities are primarily involved in the research, development and commercialization of Nutraceuticals, and naturally derived substances with
nutritional, pharmacological or biotech properties. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company expended $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on research and development activities. As a result of the spin-off of iBio in August 2008, we expect our research and development activities to not be a significant expenditure for the fiscal year 2009 as a majority of our research and development costs were associated with the Biotechnologies segment.
Environmental Compliance
We are subject to regulation under Federal, state and local environmental laws. While we believe we are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws, continued compliance may require substantial capital expenditures.
Employees
As of October 6, 2008, we had approximately 171 full time employees of whom 61 belong to the local unit of the Teamsters Union and are covered by a collective bargaining agreement, which expires August 31, 2010. Approximately 57 employees are administrative and professional personnel, 14 are laboratory personnel and 100 employees are production and shipping personnel.
(Nine employees work in our Biotechnologies segment, which was spun-off in August 2008). We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
In January 2007, we entered into an agreement with a Professional Employer Organization (“PEO”) which established a three-way relationship between our non union employees, the PEO and us. We and the PEO are co-employers of our non-union employees. The PEO has taken responsibility for our Human Resources administration and compliance while we continue to exercise control over our business while accessing quality employee benefits.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Factors that May Affect the Future Results of our Business
Our revenue would decline significantly if we lose one or more of our most significant customers, which could have a significant adverse impact on us.
A significant portion of our revenues are concentrated among three customers, Herbalife International of America, Inc., Costco Wholesale, Inc. and Sam’s Club. For the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, these customers represented approximately 53% and 74% of total revenue, respectively. The loss of any of these customers could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
We depend on our senior management, the loss of whom would have an adverse effect on us.
We presently are dependent upon the executive abilities of our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer, E. Gerald Kay, and our other executive officers. Our business and operations to date chiefly have been implemented under the direction of these individuals, who presently are, and in the future will be, responsible for the implementation of our anticipated plans and programs. The loss or unavailability of the services of one or more of our principal executives would have an adverse effect on us. We may encounter difficulty in our ability to recruit and ultimately hire any replacement or additional executive officers having similar background, experience and qualifications as those of our current executive officers.
There is no assurance that we will remain listed on an active trading market.
Although our common stock is quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, there can be no assurance that we will, in the future, be able to meet all the requirements for continued quotation on that exchange. In the absence of an active trading market or if our common stock cannot be traded on the NASDAQ Global Market, our common stock could instead be traded on the OTC Bulletin Board or in the Pink Sheets. In such event, the liquidity and stock price in the secondary market may be adversely affected. In addition, in the event our common stock was de-listed; broker-dealers have certain regulatory burdens imposed upon them which may discourage them from effecting transactions in our common stock and hence, could further limit the liquidity of our common stock.
We face substantial uncertainty in our ability to protect our patents and proprietary technology.
Our ability to commercialize our products will depend, in part, on our or our licensors’ ability to obtain patents, to enforce those patents and preserve trade secrets, and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others. The patent positions of biopharmaceutical companies like us are highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions.
To date, we have 22 U.S. applications pending and 34 applications pending in Europe, Canada, Australia, China, India, Brazil, Japan, Hong Kong and New Zealand for the intellectual property developed by FhCMB. There can be no assurance that:
· |
patent applications owned by or licensed to us will result in issued patents; |
· |
patent protection will be secured for any particular technology; |
· |
any patents that have been or may be issued to us will be valid or enforceable; |
· |
any patents will provide meaningful protection to us; |
· |
others will not be able to design around the patents; or |
· |
our patents will provide a competitive advantage or have commercial application. |
· |
The failure to obtain and maintain adequate patent protection would have a material adverse effect on us and may adversely affect our ability to enter into, or affect the terms of, any arrangement for the marketing of any product.
10
The risk of our ability to protect our patents and proprietary technology is mainly attributable to our Biotechnologies segment. As a result of the spin-off subsequent to our fiscal year end, this factor will be less of a risk to our Nutraceutial and Pharmaceutical segments.
We cannot assure you that our patents will not be challenged by others.
There can be no assurance that patents owned by or licensed to us will not be challenged by others. We currently hold one issued U.S. patent for methods of inducing gene silencing in plants and one U.S. patent application for which we have received a notice of allowance, describing systems for expression of vaccine antigens in plants. We could incur substantial costs in
proceedings, including interference proceedings before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and comparable proceedings before similar agencies in other countries in connection with any claims that may arise in the future. These proceedings could result in adverse decisions about the patentability of our or our licensors’ inventions and products, as well as about the enforceability, validity or scope of protection afforded by the patents. Any adverse decisions about the
patentability of our product candidates could cause us to either lose rights to develop and commercialize our product candidates or to license such rights at substantial cost to us. In addition, even if we were successful in such proceedings, the cost and delay of such proceedings would most likely have a material adverse effect on our business.
The risk of protecting our patents is mainly attributable to our Biotechnologies segment. As a result of the spin-off subsequent to our fiscal year end, this factor will be less of a risk factor to our Nutraceutial and Pharmaceutical segments.
We face competition from many different sources, including pharmaceutical and biotechnology enterprises, academic institutions, government agencies and private and public research institutions, and such competition may adversely affect our ability to generate revenue from our products.
Many of our competitors have significantly greater financial resources and expertise in research and development, manufacturing, preclinical testing, clinical trials, regulatory approvals and marketing approved products than we do. For example, large pharmaceutical companies are in the influenza vaccine business. If we are successful in obtaining regulatory approval for our influenza vaccine candidate, these large companies would be our competitors.
Smaller or early stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through business arrangements with large and established companies that may reduce the potential demand for access to our platform. For example, Novavax is conducting human clinical trials of vaccines for influenza and other infectious diseases using cell culture processes for manufacturing, and Medicago has announced preclinical experiments to produce influenza vaccines in green plants.
Finally, these third parties compete with us in recruiting and retaining qualified scientific and management personnel, establishing clinical trial sites and patient registration for clinical trials, as well as in acquiring technologies and technology licenses complementary to our programs or advantageous to our business.
If we fail to commercialize any of our product candidates, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenues to attain profitability or continue our business operations and our reputation in the industry and in the investment community would likely be significantly damaged, each of which would cause our stock price to decline.
The risk of protecting our patents is mainly attributable to our Biotechnologies segment. As a result of the spin-off subsequent to our fiscal year end, this factor will be less of a risk factor to our Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical segments.
We have entered into several transactions with entities controlled by some of our officers and directors, which could pose a conflict of interest.
We have entered into several agreements and arrangements described in our previous SEC public filings and to be fully described in our proxy statement for our 2008 annual meeting of stockholders, including the lease of real property from Vitamin Realty Associates, L.L.C., the merger with NuCycle Acquisition Corp., and the acquisition of the Paxis business from Trade Investment Services, LLC, which involved transactions with entities significantly
11
owned by members of the Kay family and other of our significant shareholders and/or executive officers, who collectively own a majority of our shares of common stock. Although we believe that these transactions were advantageous to us and were on terms no less favorable to us than could have been obtained from unaffiliated third parties, transactions with related parties can potentially pose a conflict of interest.
Our Executive Officers and Directors have majority voting power and may take actions that may not be in the best interest of other stockholders, but in their own interest.
Our Executive Officers and Directors beneficially own approximately 66% of our outstanding shares. If these stockholders act together, they may be able to exert significant control over our management and affairs requiring stockholder approval, including approval of significant corporate transactions. This concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control and might adversely affect the market price of our common stock. This concentration of ownership may not be in the best interests of all our stockholders.
We have a staggered Board of Directors, which could impede an attempt to acquire us or remove our management.
Our Board of Directors is divided into three classes, each of which serves for a staggered term of three years. This division of our Board of Directors could have the effect of impeding an attempt to take over our company or change or remove management, since only one class will be elected annually. Thus, only approximately one-third of the existing Board of Directors could be replaced at any election of directors.
Our product liability insurance may be insufficient to cover possible claims against us.
Our company, like other manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors of vitamin and nutritional supplement products and APIs, faces an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if, among other things, the use or ingestion of our products, result in sickness or injury. We currently maintain a product liability insurance policy that provides a total of $5.0 million of coverage per occurrence and $5.0 million of coverage in the aggregate. We also maintain a professional liability policy to insure our contract research services with similar insurance coverage. However, there can be no assurance that existing or future insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover any possible product liability risks or that such insurance will continue to be available to us on economically feasible terms.
Our Nutraceutical products are manufactured using various raw materials consisting of vitamins, minerals, herbs, fruit extracts and other ingredients that we regard as safe when taken as recommended by us and that various scientific studies have suggested may provide health benefits. We could be adversely affected if any our products or any similar products distributed by other companies should prove or be asserted to be harmful to consumers or should scientific studies provide unfavorable findings regarding the effectiveness of our products.
We may not be able to obtain raw materials used in certain of our manufactured products.
The principal raw materials used in the manufacturing process in the company’s Nutraceutical segment are natural and synthetic vitamins, minerals, herbs, related nutritional supplements, gelatin capsules, coating materials, fruit extracts, fruit juices and the necessary components for packaging the finished products. The raw materials are available from numerous sources within the
United States and abroad. The gelatin capsules, coating materials and packaging materials are similarly widely available. The principal raw materials used in our Pharmaceutical segment are made up of a variety of materials used to develop and manufacture Paclitaxel. We generally purchase our raw materials, on a purchase order basis, without long-term commitments.
Our principal suppliers in our Nutraceutical Segment are Creative Flavor Concepts, Inc., Triarco Industries, Inc., and DSM Nutritional Products, Inc.
We incur significant accounting and other control costs that impact our financial condition.
As a publicly traded corporation, we incur certain costs to comply with regulatory requirements. If regulatory requirements were to become more stringent or if controls thought to be effective later fail, we may be forced to make additional expenditures, the amounts of which could be material. Some of our competitors are privately owned
12
so their accounting and control costs can be a competitive disadvantage for us. Should our sales decline or if we are unsuccessful at increasing prices to cover higher expenditures for internal controls and audits, our costs associated with regulatory compliance will rise as a percentage of sales.
Other issues and uncertainties may include:
· |
New accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting policies; and |
· |
Legislation or other governmental action that detrimentally impacts our expenses or reduces sales by adversely affecting our customers. |

Item 6. Selected Financial Data
Not applicable.
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Certain statements set forth under this caption constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 1 of this Report for additional factors relating to such statements.
The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products; the manufacture and distribution of Paclitaxel, which is the primary chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of breast cancer; technical services through its contract research organization, and the biotechnology business, which
uses its patented plant-based technology to produce vaccines and therapeutic antibodies. In August 2008, the Biotechnologies segment was spun-off. The Company’s customers are located primarily throughout the United States.
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, our net sales decreased $10.2 million or 17.0% to $49.9 million from $60.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The fourth quarter net sales for the current fiscal year as compared to the fourth quarter of the prior fiscal year increased approximately $2.4 million or 24.4%. The increased sales was primarily due to the Nutraceutical segment’s net sales which increased approximately $2.4 million plus an additional increase in net
sales in the Pharmaceutical segment of $0.1 million, offset by a decline in net sales in the Biotechnology segment of $0.1 million for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2007. Although our Nutraceutical segment had a decline in net sales of $9.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we did see an increase in sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008 as compared to the
fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, and we remain optimistic about the long-term performance of our Nutraceutical segment as in late fiscal year 2008 we launched seven new products in various test markets, we have a dedicated sales and marketing team and made operational changes throughout the fiscal year to better position ourselves for changes in product and consumer demands.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
15
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates include:
· |
sales returns and allowances; |
· |
trade marketing and merchandising; |
· |
allowance for doubtful accounts; |
· |
inventory valuation; |
· |
valuation and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, including the values assigned to acquired intangible assets; |
· |
income taxes and valuation allowances on deferred income taxes; and |
· |
accruals for, and the probability of, the outcome of current litigation. |
On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns
The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding amounts. We continuously monitor payments from our customers and maintain allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses in the period they become known.
The Company’s return policy is to only accept returns for defective products. If defective products are returned, it is the Company’s agreement with its customers that the Company cure the defect and reship the product. The policy is that when the product is shipped we make an estimate of any potential returns or allowances.
If the historical data we use to calculate the allowance provided for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the future results of operations could be materially affected. In recording any additional allowances, a respective charge against income is reflected in the general and administrative expenses, and would reduce the operating results in the period in which the increase is recorded.
The Company performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of fluctuations in our estimates for our allowance for doubtful accounts. As of June 30, 2008, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million. If this amount were in error by plus or minus one percent of the account receivable balance, the impact would be an additional $0.1 million of income or expense.
Trade Marketing and Merchandising. In order to support the Company’s propriety Nutraceutical product lines, various promotional activities are conducted through the retail trade, distributors or directly with consumers, including in-store display and product placement programs, feature price discounts, coupons, and other similar activities. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when it deems necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotional programs based on estimates of what will be redeemed by the retail trade, distributors, or consumers. These estimates are made using various techniques, including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. Differences between estimated expense and actual performance are generally not material and are recognized as a change in management’s estimate in a subsequent period. As the Company’s total promotional expenditures, including amounts classified as a reduction of net sales, represent approximately 16% of 2008 net sales, the likelihood exists of materially different reported results if factors such as the level and success of the promotional programs or other conditions differ from expectations.
16
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (“LCM”), which reflects management’s estimates of net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The inventory amounts are composed primarily of inventory items in both the Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical segments of business. As a result of our Nutraceutical inventory being
manufactured primarily on a purchase order basis, the quantity of both raw materials and finished goods inventory provides for minimal risk for potential overstock or obsolescence. Our Pharmaceutical inventory is valued at market values, which is lower than our cost basis.
Mail order inventory is expiration date sensitive. The Company reviews this inventory and considers sales levels (by SKU), term to expiration date, potential for retesting to extend expiration date and evaluates potential for obsolescence or overstock.
The Company performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of fluctuations in our estimates for inventory allowances. If our estimates used to value inventory were off by one percent of the total inventory balance, the impact would be an additional $0.2 million of income or expense.
Long Lived Assets
Purchased intangibles consisting of patents and unpatented technological expertise, intellectual property, license fees and trade names purchased as part of business acquisitions are presented net of related accumulated amortization and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives.
The Company records impairment losses on other intangible assets when events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired and the estimated fair value of the asset is less than its recorded amount in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”. The Company reviews the value of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include material adverse changes in operations, significant adverse differences in actual results in comparison with initial valuation forecasts prepared at the time of acquisition, a decision to abandon certain acquired products, services, or marketplaces, or other significant adverse changes that would indicate the carrying amount of the recorded asset might not be recoverable. No impairment losses were identified or recorded in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”). SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized against earnings, but instead tested for impairment at least annually based on a
fair-value approach as described in SFAS 142.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The useful life of an intangible asset is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The carrying value of intangible assets with finite lives is evaluated whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value is not recoverable when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less
than the carrying value. Tests for impairment or recoverability require significant management judgment, and future events affecting cash flows and market conditions could result in impairment losses. The results of its annual test in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 resulted in the Company recording an impairment loss of $813, relating to its acquisition of The Organic Beverage Company (TOBC). There were no impairment issues as a result of the Company’s testing in the fiscal
year ended June 30, 2007.
Deferred Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes pursuant to SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (SFAS 109”). SFAS 109 is an asset-and-liability approach that requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the
17
expected tax consequences and events that have been recognized in the Company’s financial statements or tax returns. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized an income tax expense, of approximately $0.9 million. The income tax expense was primarily the result of the valuation allowance recorded against a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets. The Company, based on current factors relating to our business environment, has reasonable belief that we will have future federal taxable income which would allow us to realize our net deferred tax assets in the future.
General Litigation
From time to time, the Company is a defendant or plaintiff in various legal actions which arise in the normal course of business. As such the Company is required to assess the likelihood of any adverse outcomes to these matters as well as potential ranges of probable losses. A determination of the amount of the provision required for these commitments and contingencies, if any, which would be charged to earnings, is made after careful analysis of each matter. The provision may change in the future due to new developments or changes in circumstances. Changes in the provision could increase or decrease the Company’s earnings in the period the changes are made. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.
General
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Staff Accounting Bulletin 104. The Company recognizes product sales revenue, the prices of which are fixed and determinable, when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, when estimated provisions for product returns, rebates, charge-backs and other sales allowances are reasonably determinable, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Accruals for these items are
presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to sales. The Company’s net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers, less certain related charges for discounts, returns, rebates, charge-backs and other allowances. Cost of sales includes the cost of raw materials and all labor and overhead associated with the manufacturing and packaging of the products. Gross margins are affected by, among other things, changes in the relative sales mix among the
Company’s products, as well as gross margins of acquired entities.
Operating results in all periods presented reflect the impact of acquisitions. The timing of those acquisitions and the changing mix of businesses as acquired companies are integrated into the Company may affect the comparability of results from one period to another.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires disclosure of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” an amendment of ARB No. 51. The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as a part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
18
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB SFAS No. 115,” which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument
basis. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to record at fair value will be recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted provided that the entity also adopts SFAS No. 157. We do not expect SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of
operations and cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issue SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 17, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-1, “Application of FASB SFAS No. 157 to FASB SFAS
No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 and FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of SFAS No. 157.” Collectively, the Staff Positions defer the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value on a recurring basis at least annually, and amend the scope of SFAS No. 157. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition related restructuring liabilities, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. FSP FAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities: (EITF No. 07-3). EITF No. 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. EITF No. 07-3 is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF No. 07-3 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations (in thousands, expect share and per share amount)
The following table sets forth the income statement data of the Company as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:
19
Year ended June 30, 2008 Compared to the Year ended June 30, 2007
Sales, net. Net Sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 were $49.9 million and $60.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $10.2 million or 17.0%. The decrease is comprised of the following:
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, approximately 53% of total net sales were derived from three customers as compared 74% of total net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The loss of any of these customers would
20
have an adverse affect on our operations. We continue to expand our customer base by expanding from selling our propriety branded Nutraceutical products primarily to “club” stores to the retail sales segment grocery sales segment and expanding our sales in the international market.
Our net sales decreased in our Nutraceutical segment by $9.7 million or 18.0% from $53.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 to $44.1 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. This decrease is, in part, the result of a decrease in sales from our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line of approximately $7.7 million in part due to fewer promotional programs at our club stores and no new products introduced into the market during the current fiscal year as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Since the Company has not penetrated the market with new products, the Company has had to give discounts and pricing concessions to our customers in order to maintain shelf space and required customer sales volume. Despite this, we decreased our advertising through participation in strategic product placement programs, offering manufacturing coupons at point of sale. We spent $3.8 million on this type of advertising in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to approximately $5.4 million for the comparable 2007 period. These trade promotional and marketing costs were recorded as a reduction to net sales. In addition, there are price concessions included against net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 of approximately $1.3 million. The Company’s contract manufacturing products sales decreased approximately $3.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to lower international reorders from our international customers. The Syzmo™ product generated net sales of approximately $0.8 million, and the remaining Nutraceutical product lines had net sales growth of approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior period. We launched seven new products in test markets late in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2008.
The decrease in net sales in our Pharmaceutical business segment from $5.4 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 to $4.8 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, a decrease of $0.6 million or 11.0%. This decrease is primarily due to decreased sales of approximately $1.4 million of the Company’s Contract Research Organization (CRO) business in the
fiscal year June 30, 2008 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This was off-set by increased net sales in our Approved Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) business of approximately $0.8 million in the fiscal year June 30, 2008 compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
Our Biotechnologies Segment sales for the fiscal year June 30, 2008 were $1.0 million compared to $0.9 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 10.2% from the comparable period. This increase is primarily due to increased sales under a supply contact agreement with Mannatech of approximately $0.1 million.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased to $41.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $42.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of net sales to 83.0% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to 71.0% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The increase of 12.0% in cost of
sales as a percentage of net sales, approximately $3.5 million, or 7.0% of net sales, includes write-offs for certain inventory items, mainly in our Nutraceutical segment’s business lines. Of the write-off of $3.5 million, $2.3 million is related to changes in the Company’s packaging and design, discontinuation of certain product lines and valuation adjustments on certain new products in our Naturally branded product lines. An additional $0.8 million write-off is a result of
abandoning a focused marketing campaign to increase sales of our private labeled nutritional supplement products through e-commerce and mail publication and to expand business with new and existing customers by offering new products and formulas in our contract manufacturing product line of business. An additional $0.2 million is due to an isolated production run which the product did not meet our standards. The remaining $0.2 million is related to our Pharmaceutical segment, where we
do not believe we will complete the processing or fully recover our input costs. Costs of sales also increased as a percentage of net sales as a result of lower sales volumes of approximately $2.3 million despite a reduction of our cost of sales of $0.2 million for our businesses with fixed manufacturing costs in both the Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical segments. Lastly, the profit mix in our Naturally branded product lines has resulted in decrease in our margins as mark-downs, buy-one
get-one promotions had resulted in approximately a $1.3 million reduction to our net sales.
Selling and Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative expenses were $24.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $4.9 million or 25.3% as compared with $19.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 48.6% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and 32.2% for the prior comparable period.
21
]
Selling and administrative expenses for our Nutraceuticals segment were $17.7 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, an increase of $4.5 million or 34.3% as compared with $13.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. As a percentage of Nutraceutical sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 40.2% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and 24.5% for the prior comparable
period.
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, selling and administrative expenses in our Nutraceutical Segment related to business lines we acquired or divested during fiscal year 2007 added additional costs of approximately $3.4 million. The Organic Beverage Company (TOBC) increased the Nutraceuticals segment’s total selling and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 by $3.5 million, which was partially offset by a decrease in Micro Nutrition, Inc.’s
selling and administrative expenses of $0.1 million included in the results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Of TOBC’s $3.5 million increase of selling and administrative expenses incurred in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, approximately$1.0 million related to advertising and marketing expenses, $0.8 million related to an impairment charge of TOBC’s intangible assets, approximately $0.6 million related to employee salaries and related benefits, with the
remaining $1.1 million attributable to having twelve months of operational expenses versus the four months in the prior fiscal year.
Excluding the selling and administrative expenses related to business lines acquired or divested during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our selling and administrative expenses in our Nutraceuticals Segment increased $1.1 million from the prior comparable period. This increase is mainly a result of approximately $1.6 million of increased stock compensation expense as a result of a grant approved by our Board of Directors and equity incentives associated with hiring management personnel throughout the fiscal year. Also, there was an increase of $0.3 million in salaries and employee benefit expenses and $0.2 million increase in professional and consulting fees, which was mainly a result of costs incurred to spin-off the Biotechnologies Segment, off-set by $0.7 million of marketing and indirect advertising, and $0.3 million due to reduced insurance, tradeshows and travel related costs and other office related expenses. We are seeking ways to maintain and reduce our selling and administrative expenses during the 2009 fiscal year.
The Pharmaceutical selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million to $4.2 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. This increase is a result of approximately $0.2 million of increased salaries and employee benefit expenses mainly due to increased head-count, off-set by $0.1 million of professional
expenses.
The Biotechnologies selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million to $2.4 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to $2.1 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the current fiscal period is primarily due to the write-off of an investment of $0.3 million.
Other income (expense). Other income (expense) was a net expense of $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to a net expense of $0.6 million for the comparable period a year ago. The increase of approximately $0.9 million was attributable to an increase in interest expense of $1.1 million due to the ongoing increase in the LIBOR rate plus an average increase
in the outstanding interest bearing obligations we held during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 as compared to fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, off-set by a $0.3 million gain on the extinguishment of a debt obligation, and a net increase in consulting fee income, rental income and investment income of $0.1 million.
Income tax (benefit). In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized an income tax expense, of approximately $0.9 million compared to an income tax benefit of $0.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30,
22
2007. The income tax expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was primarily the result of the valuation allowance recorded against a portion of the Company’s deferred tax assets. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the income tax benefit was primarily the result of the increase in the Company’s federal deferred tax assets of $1.5 million, primarily due to increased carryforward net operating losses, off-set by the increase in the valuation reserve of $0.5 million on the state net operating deferred tax assets and the current fiscal year federal, state and local provisions of $0.5 million. The Company, based on current factors relating to our business environment, has reasonable belief that we will have future federal taxable income which would allow us to realize our net deferred tax assets in the future.
SeasonalityThe Company’s results of operations in its Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnologies segments are not significantly affected by seasonal factors. The Nutraceutical business segment tends to be seasonal. The Company has found that in its first fiscal quarter ending in September, orders for its branded proprietary Nutraceutical products slow (absent the addition of new
customers with a significant first time order), as buyers in their markets may have purchased sufficient inventory to carry them through the summer months. Conversely, in the Company’s second fiscal quarter, ending in December, orders for its products increase as the demand for the Company’s branded Nutraceutical products seems to increase in late December to early January as consumers become health conscious as they enter the new year.
The Company believes that there are other non-seasonal factors that also may also influence the variability of quarterly results including, but not limited to, general economic and industry conditions that affect consumer spending, changing consumer demands and current news on nutritional supplements. In addition, our recent growth has caused additional variability in our quarterly results. Accordingly, a comparison of the Company’s results of operations from consecutive periods
is not necessarily meaningful, and the Company’s results of operations for any period are not necessarily indicative of future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Company’s net cash flows used in operating, investing and financing activities:
At June 30, 2008, we have working capital of $7.3 million, a decrease of $3.7 million over working capital of $11.0 million at June 30, 2007. Cash and cash equivalents were $0.9 million at June 30, 2008, a decrease of $1.3 million from June 30, 2007. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, we used $4.3 million of cash from our operating activities compared to a use of
cash of $5.5 million from operations in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $1.2 million.
23
Net cash used by operating activities of $4.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 included net loss of $18.2 million. After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including deferred taxes, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, the adjusted cash used before the effect of the changes in working capital components
was
$6.7 million. Additional cash provided of approximately $7.2 million was the result of a decrease in inventory of $5.0 million, accounts receivable of $0.4 million and other current assets, security deposits and other assets of $0.8 million and a increase of accounts payable of $3.0 million, these increases to cash were partially offset by, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and income taxes payable of $2.1 million.
Net cash used in operating activities of $3.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 resulted from net loss of $2.0 million. After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including deferred taxes, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization and stock-based compensation, the adjusted cash provided before the effect of the changes in working capital
components was $0.1 million. Cash used for working capital components of approximately $5.6 million was the result of an increase in inventory of $6.4 million, other current assets, security deposits and other assets of approximately $0.3 million and a decrease of accounts payable of approximately $0.5 million, these reductions to cash were partially offset by, a decrease in accounts receivable of $1.5 million and an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and income
taxes payable of $0.1 million.
The Company used $0.7 million and $1.7 million of cash in investing activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The use of cash was to purchase property and equipment of $0.5 million and $1.1 million and to purchase intangible assets of $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities was $3.8 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Cash provided during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 was the result of proceeds of $20.9 million. The components of the proceeds are from the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock of $5.8 million, convertible note payable of $4.5 million, notes payable of $6.4 million, the
release of restricted cash under the revolving credit facility of $2.0 million, an increase to the revolving credit facility of $1.5 million and exercising of stock options of $0.1 million. The proceeds were offset, in part by repayments of the revolving credit facility and the term loan of $7.4 million and $9.8 million, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities was $3.6 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Cash provided during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 was the result of proceeds of $45.9 million. The components of the proceeds are from the revolving credit facility $34.5 million, borrowings of term note of $10.0 million, exercising of stock options of $0.9 million and
exercising of warrants of $0.5. The proceeds were offset, in part by the early redemption of 650 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock of $6.8 million, dividends paid of $0.4 million and repayments of the revolving credit facility of $28.5 million and funding of restricted cash under the revolving credit facility of $2.0 million, note payable – bank of $.45 million and loan payable – TIS of $0.2 million; respectively.
Our expected return to profitability in fiscal year 2009, which cannot be assured would provide a significant portion of our cash needs over the ensuing twelve-month period to meet our capital expenditure needs, outstanding commitments and other liquidity requirements. Our ability to fund these requirements will depend our future operations, performance and cash flow and is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, as part of our strategy we are evaluating each line of business to identify were we may need to decrease our spending in our Business Segments that are net users of cash or we may pursue strategic acquisitions, investments or divestitures what will complement our core company strategy. Furthermore, in September 2008, the Company announced our engagement of an investment advisor to explore selling our Pharmaceutical Segment. Additionally, with the completion of our capital raising efforts for our Biotechnologies Segment and the spin-off of this segment in August 2008, and the extension of our $7.0 million Notes Payable, with Imperium from February 21, 2009 to November 15, 2009, we are in a better position to meet our cash needs for all of our business segments’ operations and contractual commitments through fiscal year 2009 and into the first quarter of fiscal year 2010.
The Company’s total annual commitments at June 30, 2008 for long term non-cancelable leases of approximately $5.0 million consists of obligations under operating leases for facilities and lease agreements for the rental of warehouse equipment, office equipment and automobiles.
24
Capital Expenditures
The Company's capital expenditures during the fiscal year ended 2008 and 2007 were $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The capital expenditures during these fiscal years are primarily attributable to the purchase of machinery and equipment by the Manhattan Drug, Paxis and Hauser subsidiaries.
The Company has budgeted approximately $0.5 million for capital expenditures for fiscal 2009. The total amount is expected to be funded from cash provided from its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Accounting Pronouncement
Refer to Note 2 in our consolidated financial statements in Item 8, which can be found at page 38, herein.
Impact of Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation has significantly affected its results of operations.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to financial instruments that are subject to market risks arising from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, primarily with respect to the Canadian Dollar in its customer receivables. The Company’s use of derivative instruments is very limited and it does not enter
25
into derivative instruments for trading purposes. We performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of fluctuations on interest rates relating to our outstanding variable debt. If interest rates varied by plus or minus one percent our income would be higher or lower in the amount of $0.1 million per annum.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by Integrated BioPharma in the reports it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by Integrated BioPharma in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Integrated BioPharma has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2008, and, based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective in providing reasonable assurance of compliance.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Integrated BioPharma has evaluated changes in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008 and have concluded that no change has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Integrated BioPharma’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of consolidated financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate.
Integrated BioPharma’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2008 based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on that evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2008.
The information set forth in this Item 9A shall not be considered filed under the Exchange Act. This annual report does not include an attestation report of Amper, Politziner & Mattia, LLP, Integrated BioPharma’s independent registered public accounting firm, regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by Amper, Politziner & Mattia, LLC pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit Integrated BioPharma to provide only management’s report in this Form 10-K.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 AND
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Integrated Biopharma, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Integrated Biopharma, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Integrated Biopharma, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years then ended in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company spun off its biotechnologies segment to its shareholders during August 2008.

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Note 1. Business
Integrated BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “INB”), is engaged primarily in manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products; the manufacture and distribution of Paclitaxel, which is the primary chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of breast cancer,
pharmaceutical technical services through its contract research organization; and the biotechnology business which uses its patented plant-based technology to produce vaccines and therapeutic antibodies. The Company’s customers are located primarily in the United States. The Company was previously known as Integrated Health Technologies, Inc. and, prior to that, as Chem International, Inc. The Company was reincorporated in its current form in Delaware in 1995. The Company is

In September 2008, the Company announced the engagement with an investment advisor to explore selling the Pharmaceutial segment.
The Biotechnologies segment includes InB:Biotechnologies, Inc. (“InB:Biotech”), which is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary products from plants. The Company is developing its patented plant-based expression technologies for the production of vaccines, antibodies and other therapeutic proteins. InB:Biotech is also using plants as sources of novel, high quality nutritional supplements. InB:Biotech’s patented process for the hydroponic growth of edible plants causes them to accumulate high levels of important nutritional minerals. In November 2007, the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution”) with the Biotechnologies segment (“iBio”), whereby, iBio agreed to distribute, pro rata, to the holders of iBio common stock, all of the shares of iBio’s common stock we owned.

INTEGRATED BIOPHARMA, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 AND
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates include:
· |
sales returns and allowances; |
· |
trade marketing and merchandising; |
· |
allowance for doubtful accounts; |
· |
inventory valuation; |
· |
valuation and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, including the values assigned to acquired intangible assets; |
· |
income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and; |
· |
accruals for, and the probability of, the outcome of current litigation. |
On a continual basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition. For product sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the product’s title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. The Company believes this revenue recognizing practice is appropriate because the Company’s sales policies meet the four criteria of SAB 104 which are: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company’s sales policy is to require customers to provide purchase orders establishing selling prices and shipping terms. The Company evaluates the credit risk of each customer and establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts for any credit risk. Sales returns and allowances are estimated upon shipment. The Company recognizes income in its Hauser subsidiary upon monthly customer invoicing. The invoice amount is based on time and materials spent in the month.
The Company realized fee income from managing warehouse and office operations for an unrelated company of $107 and $92 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These amounts are included in “Other income,” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs were approximately $2,830 and $2,852 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and included in cost of sales in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Trade Marketing and Merchandising. In order to support the Company’s propriety Nutraceutical product lines, various promotional activities are conducted through the retail trade, distributors or directly with consumers, including in-store display and product placement programs, feature price discounts, coupons, and other similar activities. The Company regularly reviews and revises, when it deems necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotional programs based on estimates of what will be redeemed by the retail trade, distributors, or consumers. These estimates are made using various techniques, including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 AND
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Differences between estimated expense and actual performance are generally not material and are recognized as a change in management’s estimate in a subsequent period. The Company’s total promotional expenditures, including amounts classified as a reduction of net sales, represent approximately 16.2% of net sales for both the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Advertising. Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $3,582 and $4,103 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These costs are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Research and Development Costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $550 and $699 in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These costs are included in selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Stock-Based Compensation. As of June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company has two stock-based compensation plans. We periodically grant stock options to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of our stock option plans, with the exercise price of the stock options being set at the closing market price of the common stock on the date of grant. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 123R, Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”) which requires that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized as an expense in the consolidated financial statements and that measurement of that cost be based on the estimated fair value of the equity or liability instrument issued.
The intrinsic value of options outstanding and exercisable at June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $1,624 and $2,373, respectively. There were 300,000 options exercised during the year ended June 30, 2008.
The remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense at June 30, 2008 was $1,218 and will be amortized over a weighted average life of 5.2 years.
The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of each grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions for the fiscal years ending June 30:
2008 |
2007 |
|||
Risk-free interest rate |
3.3% |
4.4% |
||
Expected volatility |
57% |

-- |
||
Expected life |
7 to 10 years |
7 to 10 years |
||
Forfeiture rate |
0% to 20% |
0% to 5% |
The Company calculates expected volatility for a stock-based grant based on historic daily stock price observations of our common stock during the period immediately preceding the grant that is equal in length to the expected term of the grant. The expected term of the options is estimated based on the Company’s historical exercise rate and forfeiture rates are estimated based on employment termination experience. The risk free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury yields for securities in effect at the time of grants with terms approximating the term of the grants. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option valuation model are highly subjective, and can materially affect the resulting valuations.
Income Taxes. The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Accordingly, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences
attributable to differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured

FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets
and liabilities of a change in the tax rate is recognized in income or expense in the period that the change is effective. Tax benefits are recognized when it is probable that the deduction
will be sustained. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Earnings Per Share. In accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic earnings per common share are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding.
Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the
assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock, subject to anti-dilution limitations.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, options and warrants to purchase 5,108,002 and 3,290,852 shares of common stock with exercise prices below the market price, respectively, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they are anti-dilutive as a result of net losses during the period and options and warrants to purchase 2,103,150 and 1,857,833 shares of common stock were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as their exercise prices were greater than the market price of the common shares as of June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008, Convertible Series C Preferred Stock and Convertible Note Payable in the amount of 2,462,778 and 1,779,755, respectively, common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive as a result of net losses applicable to common shareholders.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments. Generally accepted accounting principles require disclosing the fair value of financial instruments to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that
could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.
In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, the Company uses a variety of methods and assumptions, which are based on estimates of market conditions and risks existing at the time. For certain instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses, it was estimated that the carrying amount approximated fair value because of the short maturities of these instruments. All debt is based on current rates at which the Company
could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities and approximates fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents. Cash equivalents are comprised of certain highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. In the normal course of business, the Company extends credit to customers. Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts, reflect the net realizable value of receivables, and approximate fair value. The Company believes there is no concentration of credit risk with any single customer whose failure or nonperformance would materially affect the Company’s results other than as discussed in Note 13(c) – Significant Risks and Uncertainties – Major Customers. On a regular basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivables and establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a combination of specific customer circumstances, credit conditions, and historical write-off and collections. The allowance for doubtful accounts as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $134 and $99, respectively. Accounts receivable are charged off against the allowance after management determines the potential for recovery is remote.

AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 AND
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Allowances for obsolete and overstock inventories are estimated based on “expiration dating” of inventory and projection of sales.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated over the following estimated useful lives:
Building 15 Years
Leasehold Improvements Shorter of estimated useful life or term of lease
Machinery and Equipment 7 Years
Machinery and Equipment Under Capital Leases 7 Years
Transportation Equipment 5 Years
Building, machinery and equipment and transportation equipment are depreciated using straight-line methods while leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over various periods not to exceed its useful life or the lease terms whichever is shorter.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, long-lived assets, except goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows estimated by the Company to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of by sale are recorded as held for sale at the lower of carrying value or estimated net realizable value. No impairment losses were identified or recorded in the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized against earnings, but are reviewed at least annually for impairment. The Company performs its annual test as of April 1, of each year. The results of its annual test in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 resulted in the Company recording an impairment loss of $813, relating to its acquisition of The Organic Beverage Company (TOBC). There were no impairment issues as a result of the Company’s testing in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The useful life of an intangible asset is the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The carrying value of intangible assets with finite lives is evaluated whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The carrying value is not recoverable when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value. Tests for impairment or recoverability require significant management judgment, and future events affecting cash flows and market conditions could result in impairment losses.
Other intangible assets consist of intellectual property, trademarks, license fees, and unpatented technology. Amortization is being recorded on the straight-line basis over periods ranging from 2 years to 20 years based on contractual or estimated lives.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year data to conform with the current year presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, an amendment of FASB SFAS No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires disclosure of how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for
and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. We do not expect SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” an amendment of ARB No. 51. The standard changes the accounting for noncontrolling (minority) interests in consolidated financial statements including the requirements to classify noncontrolling interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity, and the elimination of “minority interest” accounting in results of operations with earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests reported as a part of consolidated earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 160 revises the accounting for both increases and decreases in a parent’s controlling ownership interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of SFAS No. 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB SFAS No. 115,” which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities on an instrument-by-instrument
basis. Subsequent measurements for the financial assets and liabilities an entity elects to record at fair value will be recognized in earnings. SFAS No. 159 also establishes additional disclosure requirements. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted provided that the entity also adopts SFAS No. 157. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In September 2006, the FASB issue SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurement” (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 17, 2007. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-1, “Application of FASB SFAS No. 157 to FASB SFAS
No. 13 and Other Accounting Pronouncements That Address Fair Value Measurements for Purposes of Lease Classification or Measurement under Statement 13 and FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 157-2, Effective Date of SFAS No. 157.” Collectively, the Staff Positions defer the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair
value on a recurring basis at least annually, and amend the scope of SFAS No. 157. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of SFAS No. 157 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations.” The standard changes the accounting for business combinations including the measurement of acquirer shares issued in consideration for a business combination, the recognition of contingent consideration, the accounting for pre-acquisition gain and loss contingencies, the recognition of capitalized in-process research and development, the accounting for acquisition related restructuring liabilities, the treatment of acquisition related transaction costs and the recognition of changes in the acquirer’s income tax valuation allowance. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, with early adoption prohibited.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) SFAS No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. FSP FAS No. 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142,

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

“Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of the pending adoption of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2007, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities: (EITF No. 07-3). EITF No. 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. EITF No. 07-3 is effective, on a prospective basis, for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF No. 07-3 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
Note 4. Acquisition
On March 5, 2007, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with our wholly-owned subsidiary Bioscience Technologies, Inc. ("BTI"), BevSpec, Inc., a Texas corporation ("BevSpec"), the shareholders of BevSpec (the "Shareholders") and certain other parties (together with the Shareholders, the "Seller Parties") pursuant to which

INTEGRATED BIOPHARMA, INC. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 AND
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
BTI acquired substantially all of the assets and business of BevSpec (the "Transferred Assets") and assumed certain payment obligations of BevSpec (the "Payment Obligations"). We paid approximately $308 to specified parties to satisfy the Payment Obligations. In addition, we issued 185,000 shares of our common stock (the "Share Consideration") to the Seller Parties. The Agreement was
effective as of February 28, 2007. The Share Consideration was subject to a twelve-month lock-up and was held in escrow for such time to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties. The Company released the indemnification obligations and the Share Consideration was released from escrow during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
The purchased assets include trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, artwork, graphics, marketing materials, formulas for the acquired product lines, labels, customer lists, websites, goodwill, inventories and certain books and records. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement the
purchase price for the Transferred Assets was valued at approximately $1,445 and was paid with the issuance of 185,000 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $1,103, based on the volume weighted average share price for five days prior to and subsequent from the date of the acquisition, and the assumption of approximately $342 in assumed liabilities and associated costs of the acquisition. Approximately $552 of the purchase price was allocated to intellectual property, $414
was allocated to trade names, $300 was allocated to deferred tax assets, and $179 was allocated to license agreements. The acquired intangible assets will be amortized ranging from a period of two to fifteen years.

Note 10. Term Credit Facility.
On April 3, 2007, we entered into a loan agreement with Amalgamated Bank. The loan agreement provided for a five-year secured term credit facility in the amount of $10,000. Borrowings under the facility were used to refinance $5,000 under our existing $15,000 revolving credit facility with Amalgamated Bank and the balance for working capital purposes. The initial interest
rate on borrowings under the term facility is equal to 3.00% plus the applicable LIBOR rate. Interest was payable monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, at the Company’s election, in arrears not later than the end of each period. As of June 30, 2007 the weighted-average interest rate was 6.90% and the Company had accrued and unpaid interest of approximately $190.

for income tax reporting. Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets are as follows:

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 AND
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
Net operating losses (“NOL”) of approximately $29,410 will expire beginning in 2024 for federal purposes. State NOL’s of approximately $48,979 will expire beginning in 2009 through 2028 depending on the state in which the NOL’s were generated. These carryforwards could be subject to certain limitations in the event there is a change in control of the Company. In addition as a result of the spin-off of the Biotechnologies segment, the Company will lose the ability to utilize the federal and state NOL’s of $4,329 and $5,810, respectively.
The valuation allowance as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 results from the uncertainties of the future utilization of deferred tax assets relating to a portion of our net operating loss carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes. As of June 30, 2008, the Company, based on current factors relating to its business environment, has reasonable belief that the Company will have future federal taxable income which will allow the Company to realize its other deferred tax assets in the future.
Realization of the NOL carryforwards and other deferred tax temporary differences is contingent on future taxable earnings. The deferred tax asset was reviewed for expected utilization using a “more likely than not” approach by assessing the available positive and negative evidence surrounding its recoverability. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been recorded against the Company’s deferred tax asset, as it was determined based upon past and present losses that it was “more likely than not” that the Company’s deferred tax assets would be realized. In future years, if the deferred tax assets are determined by management to be “more likely than not” to be realized, the recognized tax benefits relating to the reversal of the valuation allowance as of June 30, 2008 will be recorded. The Company will continue to assess and evaluate strategies that will enable the deferred tax asset, or portion thereof, to be utilized, and will reduce the valuation allowance appropriately as such time when it is determined that the “more likely than not” criteria is satisfied.
The components of the provision for income taxes consists of the following:

AS OF JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007 AND
FOR THE FISCAL YEARS ENDED JUNE 30, 2008 AND 2007
A reconciliation of the statutory tax rate to the effective tax rate is as follows:
Effective July 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (FIN No. 48), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statement in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109 Accounting for Income Taxes . This interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. There were no significant matters determined to be unrecognized tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return that have been recorded on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2008.
Additionally, FIN No. 48 provides guidance on the recognition of interest and penalties related to income taxes. As of June 30, 2008, the Company has included in state income taxes payable $80 for interest or penalties related to income taxes that have been accrued or recognized for the years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
The federal and state tax returns for the years ending June 30, 2005, 2006 and 2007 are currently open and the tax returns for the year ended June 30, 2008 will be filed by March 15, 2009.
Note 13. Profit-Sharing Plan
The Company maintains a profit-sharing plan, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, covering all nonunion employees meeting age and service requirements. Contributions are determined by matching a percentage of employee contributions. The total related expense for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $272 and $265, respectively.
Note 14. Significant Risks and Uncertainties
(a) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Cash. The Company maintains balances at several financial institutions. Deposit accounts at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for deposits up to $100. As of June 30, 2008, the Company’s uninsured cash balances were approximately $314.
(b) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. The Company does not require collateral in relation to its trade accounts receivable credit risk. The amount of the allowance for uncollectible accounts and other allowances as of June 30, 2008 and 2007 was $134 and $99, respectively. The Company’s bad debt expense for the years ended June 30, 2008 was $50, and the Company did not incur bad debt expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

(c) Major Customers. For the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 approximately 53.1% and approximately 74.4%, respectively, of revenues were derived from three customers. Accounts receivable from these customers represented approximately 70% of total accounts receivable as of June 30, 2008. The loss of any of these customers would have an adverse affect on the
Company’s operations. Major customers are those customers who account for more than 10% of net sales.
(d) Business Risks. The Company insures it business and assets against insurable risks, to the extent that it deems appropriate, based upon an analysis of the relative risks and costs. The Company believes that the risk of loss from non-insurable events would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations as a whole.
The raw materials used by the Company are primarily commodities and agricultural-based products. Raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its Nutraceutical products are purchased from independent suppliers. Raw materials are available from numerous sources and the Company believes that it will continue to obtain adequate supplies.
Approximately 54% the Company’s employees, located in its New Jersey facility, are covered by a union contract. The contract was renewed in August 2006 and will expire in August 2010.

(d) Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. On February 21, 2008, the Company raised $5,788 in net proceeds from the sale of 6,000 shares of the Company’s Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1,000 per share (‘the “Series C Preferred Shares’), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, in connection with the extinguishment of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Credit Facility. (See Note 9. Revolving and Term Credit Facilities and Restricted Cash.)
Dividends of the Series C Preferred Shares are 10% per annum, payable on a annual basis, by the Company in shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.002 per share (the "Common Stock"). Accordingly, the Company has accrued approximately $216 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
The Series C Preferred Shares are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock based on a conversion price, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination, reclassification or similar event, and upon certain below-market issuances of our common stock. Upon the election to convert, each holder of shares of
Series C Preferred Shares will receive such number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock as determined by dividing the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of Series C Preferred Shares to be converted by the conversion price then in effect on the conversion date. Prior to and including August 21, 2008, the conversion price of each share of Series C Preferred Shares is a formula that bases the conversion price on the lesser of (i) the greater of (x) 90% of
the average market price of our common stock for 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (y) $2.00 and (ii) $2.94. After August 21, 2008, the conversion price of each share of Series C Preferred Shares is a formula that bases the conversion price on the greater of (i) 90% of the average market price of our common stock for 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) $2.00. The liquidation preference is equal to $1,000 per share of Series C
Preferred Stock held by the holder plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. The Series C Preferred may be redeemed under certain circumstances stated in the Certificate of Designations.
Each holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Shares held by such Holder (a "Mandatory Redemption") in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. The amount payable upon a Mandatory Redemption shall be equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate liquidation preference for the Series C Preferred Shares being redeemed as of the Mandatory Redemption Date and (ii) the aggregate liquidation preference for such Series C Preferred Shares divided by the Conversion Price, as defined, multiplied by the Market Price, as defined, in effect on the Mandatory Redemption Date.
The Company shall pay in cash the Mandatory Redemption Price to the holder exercising its right to redemption on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which such holder delivers written notice to the Company demanding the redemption of such holder's Series C Preferred Shares specifying the number of Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed. If the Company fails to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to a holder on or before the Mandatory Redemption Date, such Holder is entitled to interest until the Mandatory Redemption Price has been paid in full, at an annual rate equal to the Default Interest Rate.
56
If any Series C preferred shares remain outstanding on the maturity date (February 1, 2013), the Company will either (i) convert such preferred shares at a conversion rate determined by dividing 115% of the conversion amount being converted by the applicable conversion price as of the maturity date for such preferred shares or (ii) redeem such preferred shares for an amount in cash
per preferred share equal to the conversion amount. The Company is required to give sixty (60) days written notice to each holder of Series C shares, which shall state its election. The Company can redeem at maturity all or a portion of the Series C shares.
The Company recorded the beneficial conversion feature of $1,216 in accordance with EITF 00-27 and such amounts are being accreted over the five year period until the mandatory redemption date of the Series C Preferred Stock, the fifth anniversary of closing. The Company recorded accretion of $79 to Deemed dividend from beneficial conversion feature of Preferred stock dividend in
the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.
In May 2008, the Company registered the Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Shares, for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 and applicable state securities laws.
In August 2008, subsequent to the fiscal year end, 6,000 shares of the Series C Preferred Shares were redeemed and converted into 2,639,204 shares of the Company’s common stock. (See Note 20. Subsequent Events.)
(e) Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock and Private Placement. On April 20, 2004, the Company raised $7,500 in gross proceeds from the sale of 750 shares of the Company’s Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.002 per share (‘the “Series B Preferred Shares’), at a purchase price of $10 per share.
Dividends of the Series B Preferred Shares are 7% per annum, payable by the Company in cash or, in certain instances, in shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.002 per share (the "Common Stock"). Accordingly, the Company paid approximately $376 in dividends in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. The Series B Preferred Shares were convertible at the option of each Investor into shares of Common
Stock at a conversion price of $10.00 per share, subject to anti-dilution and other customary adjustments. Upon conversion, the Investors would receive an aggregate of 750,000 shares of Common Stock. The Company also has the option to force such conversion in the event that it meets certain performance milestones. The Investors could have also forced redemption upon the occurrence of certain events of default.
The Company also issued to the Investors warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase an aggregate of 375,000 shares of Common Stock, exercisable over a five-year period. The exercise price is $14.00 per share, subject to anti-dilution and other customary adjustments. Assuming no such adjustments, the exercise of all Warrants could result in additional gross proceeds to the Company of $5,250. The Warrants
are callable by the Company in the event that it meets certain performance milestones.
Finally, the Company issued Additional Investment Rights to the Investors, entitling them over the next 18 months to purchase an aggregate of 375 additional Series B Preferred Shares (convertible into 375,000 shares of Common Stock) and Warrants to purchase an additional 187,500 shares of Common Stock. The Series B Preferred Shares and Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Additional Investment Rights have the same terms as the securities issued at closing. Assuming no anti-dilution or other adjustments, the exercise of all Additional Investment Rights followed by the exercise of all Warrants issuable upon exercise of the Additional Investment Rights could have resulted in additional gross proceeds to the Company of $6,375. In October 2005, the Additional Investment Rights granted to the holders of the Series B Preferred Shares expired unexercised.

The Company recorded the relative fair value of all of the warrants and Additional Investment Rights in connection with this transaction of $2,904 against the amount of the redeemable convertible preferred stock as of April 20, 2004, which was calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation method, as well as $4,596 of a beneficial conversion feature in accordance with EITF 00-27 and such amounts were accreted
over the three year period until the mandatory redemption date of the Preferred Stock, the third anniversary of closing. The Company recorded accretion of $1,809 in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

On October 16, 2006, the Company redeemed 650 shares of its Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”) at a redemption price of $6,750.

The amended Warrants issued in 2004, along with the additional Warrants issued in October 2006, resulted in additional non-cash dividends on the Preferred Stock of approximately $1,178 during the year ended June 30, 2007.
The early redemption of the Preferred Stock extinguished all rights and preferences pertinent to the 650 shares of Preferred Stock, including actual dividends, deemed dividends (which are required to be deducted in the calculation of net income attributable to common shareholders and resulted in an increase in the net loss of $1,809 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007), liquidation preferences and the right to convert the Preferred Stock into 650,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $10 per share.
