condition and results of operations. We have prepared this prospectus so that
you will have the information necessary to make an informed investment
decision.
You
should rely on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not
authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that contained
in this prospectus. The selling stockholder is offering to sell shares of our
common stock and seeking offers to buy shares of our common stock only in

PROSPECTUS
SUMMARY
The
following summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus.
It may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should
read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk
Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation,” and
our historical financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in
this
prospectus. In this prospectus, unless the context requires otherwise,
references to the “Company,” “RxElite,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods prior
to the closing of the reverse merger on July 13, 2007, refer to RxElite Holdings
Inc., a private Delaware corporation that is now our wholly-owned subsidiary,
and references to the “Company,” “RxElite,” “we,” “our” and “us” for periods
subsequent to the closing of the reverse merger on July 13, 2007, refer
to RxElite, Inc., a publicly traded company, and its subsidiary, RxElite
Holdings Inc.
Corporate
History
We
were
organized as a limited liability company in the state of Delaware in November
2001 under the name Southridge Technology Group, LLC. On August 24, 2005, we
were converted into a Delaware corporation and changed our name from Southridge
Technology Group, LLC to Southridge Technology Group, Inc. Prior to July 13,
2007, we provided customized computing and communications services and solutions
for small to medium-sized businesses.
On
July
13, 2007, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization
with RxElite Acquisition Corp., our wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, and
RxElite Holdings Inc. On that date, RxElite Acquisition Corp. merged with and
into RxElite Holdings Inc., with RxElite Holdings Inc. remaining as the
surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary.
Immediately
following the closing of the merger, under the terms of a split-off agreement,
we transferred all of our pre-merger operating assets and liabilities to our
wholly-owned subsidiary, STG Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and
transferred all of its outstanding capital stock to our then-majority
stockholders in exchange for cancellation of shares of our common stock held
by
those stockholders.
As
a
result of the merger and the split-off, we succeeded to the business of RxElite
Holdings Inc. as our sole line of business and all of our then-current officers
and directors resigned and were replaced by RxElite Holdings Inc.’s officers and
directors. In addition, on October 29, 2007, we changed our name from Southridge
Technology Group, Inc. to RxElite, Inc. and increased the number of our
authorized shares from 99,000,000 shares (98,000,000 shares of common stock
and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock) to 201,000,000 shares, 200,000,000 of
which
are designated as common stock and 1,000,000 of which are designated as
preferred stock.
The
merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization of
RxElite Holdings Inc. for financial accounting purposes. Consequently, the
assets and liabilities and the historical operations that are reflected in
our
financial statements for periods prior to the merger are those of RxElite
Holdings Inc. and have been recorded at the historical cost basis of RxElite
Holdings Inc., and our consolidated financial statements for periods after
completion of the merger include both our and RxElite Holdings Inc.’s assets and
liabilities, the historical operations of RxElite Holdings Inc. and our
operations from the closing date of the merger.
Overview
We
develop and market generic prescription drug products in specialty generic
markets. Our business strategy focuses on three key tenets:
|
·
|
serve
specialty generic segments;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
employ
low cost contract manufacturing; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
deliver
unparalleled customer service defined by consistent supply and a
high
level of service.
|
Our
strategy is to focus our marketed and pipeline products in specialty markets
where we believe we can earn higher margins on our products due to limited
competition and barriers to entry. These markets include products in the areas
of anesthesia, sterile liquid dose drugs, which includes ophthalmic products,
sterile inhalation respiratory products, and injectable drugs and active
pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”). Barriers to entry in these specialty
markets include limited industry capacity, patented manufacturing processes,
difficult formulations and limited sources of APIs.
We
currently have a portfolio of pipeline and marketed specialty products
classified into three identifiable business segments:
|
·
|
anesthetic
gases;
|
|
·
|
sterile
liquid dose products; and
|
|
·
|
APIs.
|
|
|
|
In
addition, we have one abbreviated new drug application, or ANDA, pending review
at the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, pursuant to an agreement with
Alkem
Laboratories Limited, and we own three other ANDAs that are dormant and are
not
actively marketed.
Our
customers include hospitals and hospital group purchasing organizations,
national and regional wholesalers, direct retail pharmacy stocking chains,
leading homecare companies, and outpatient surgery centers and ambulatory care
clinics.
Our
principal executive offices are located at 1404 North Main Street, Suite 200,
Meridian, Idaho 83642 and our telephone number is (208) 288-5550. We maintain
websites at www.RxElite.com and www.RxEliteSevo.com which contain a description
of our company, but such websites are not part of this prospectus. Please note
that you should not view such websites as part of this prospectus and should
not
rely on such websites in making a decision to invest in our common
stock.

Recent
Developments
On
December 31, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the
selling stockholder, pursuant to which we sold 5,594,033 shares of our common
stock, a 9.50% senior secured redeemable convertible note in the
principal amount of $10,500,000 (“Convertible Note”) a Series A warrant to
purchase up to 13,985,083 shares of our common stock (“Series A Warrant”) and a
Series B warrant to purchase up to 4,661,694 shares of our common stock (“Series
B Warrant”, and together with the Series A Warrant, “Warrants”) for aggregate
gross proceeds of $10,500,000 (“Securities Purchase Agreement”). To secure our
obligations under the Convertible Note, we granted the selling stockholder
a
first priority perfected security interest in all of our assets and properties,
together with all of the assets and properties of RxElite Holdings Inc.,
including the stock of RxElite Holdings Inc. On January 18, 2008, we entered
into a letter agreement with the selling stockholder, pursuant to which we
amended certain terms of the Convertible Note, the Series A Warrant and the
Series B Warrant.
On
January 4, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical Ltd.
(formerly known as RxElite Israel Ltd.), a company organized under the laws
of
the State of Israel (“FineTech Pharmaceutical”), entered into an asset purchase
agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of FineTech Laboratories,
Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“FineTech”),
for an aggregate purchase price of $6,200,000 (“FineTech Acquisition”). In
connection with the FineTech Acquisition, Dr. Arie Gutman, the sole owner of
FineTech and currently the president of FineTech Pharmaceutical and a director
of our company, agreed not to engage in certain activities that would be
competitive with our or FineTech Pharmaceutical’s business and to assign the
right to receive royalties with respect to the sale of certain pharmaceutical
products to us.
On
May
30, 2008 we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with NPIL Pharma, Inc.
pursuant to which we obtained a term loan facility in the original principal
amount of $3,000,000. We entered into the facility to fund the purchase of
anesthetic vaporizers. The facility bears interest at 15% per annum and is
secured by a lien and security interest on all of our assets, subject to rights
granted to the selling stockholder under the Convertible Note.
SPECIAL
NOTE REGARDING FORWA
RD
LOOKING STATEMENTS
This
prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section
27A
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Such statements include statements regarding
our expectations, hopes, beliefs or intentions regarding the future, including
but not limited to statements regarding our market, strategy, competition,
development plans (including acquisitions and expansion), financing, revenue,
operations, and compliance with applicable laws. Forward-looking statements
involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ
materially from those discussed in any such statement. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements include
the risks described in greater detail in the following paragraphs. All
forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date hereof,
based on information available to us as of the date hereof, and we assume no
obligation to update any forward- looking statement. Market data used throughout
this prospectus is based on published third party reports or the good faith
estimates of management, which estimates are based upon their review of internal
surveys, independent industry publications and other publicly available
information. Although we believe that such sources are reliable, we do not
guarantee the accuracy or completeness of this information, and we have not
independently verified such information.
RISK
FACTORS
Investing
in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should
carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other
information included or referred to in this prospectus, before purchasing shares
of our common stock. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown,
that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually
occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be
materially adversely affected. In such case, the trading price of our common
stock could decline and investors in our common stock could lose all or part
of
their investment.
Risks
Related to Our Business
We
may require additional capital financing in connection with the planned
expansion of our operations and development of new products and may have
difficulty obtaining such additional capital on acceptable terms or at all.
These factors could adversely affect our ability to pursue our strategy and
negatively affect operations in future periods and caused our auditors to
include a going concern qualification in the report on our audited financial
statements for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2006.
We
have
incurred losses since inception and may continue to incur losses for the
foreseeable future. We anticipate that our near future activities will be funded
from the issuance of additional equity and funds provided by ongoing operations.
If sales from operations are insufficient to support our planned development
of
new products and expansion of operations, we will need to access additional
equity or debt capital. If public or private financing is not available when
needed or is not available on terms acceptable to us, our growth and
revenue-generating plans may be materially impaired. Such results could have
a
material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and
future prospects. As a result of these factors our auditors have included a
going concern qualification in their report on our audited financial statements
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.
The
majority of our inventory consists of Sevoflurane, a generic pharmaceutical
that
received FDA approval for use in the U.S. on May 2, 2007. There is no guarantee
that Sevoflurane will provide us with our projected sales and cash flows.
Failure to achieve projected margin and or market share will adversely affect
our future financial position.
We
rely on Minrad International, Inc. as our sole supplier of our distributed
products, which could result in us not being able to obtain sufficient
quantities to meet our short-term needs.
All
the
products that we currently distribute are produced by Minrad International,
Inc.
These products are the source of all of our current sales. If we were unable
to
acquire sufficient quantities of our products from Minrad International, Inc.
or
our products were not available, we would have to make a significant capital
investment and divert resources to obtain such products. Manufacturers of our
products are scarce and a disruption or termination of our relationship with
Minrad could result in our inability to meet demand for our products, which
could lead to customer dissatisfaction, damage our reputation, cause customers
to cancel existing orders and to stop doing business with us and could result
in
the cessation of our business.
We
have only one product line, consisting of Enflurane, Isoflurane, and
Sevoflurane, we are not diversified, and a decrease in sales of this product
line could seriously harm our business.
Our
sole
product line currently consists of Enflurane, Isoflurane, and Sevoflurane.
As
such, our line of products is not as diversified as those of some of our
competitors. Consequently, if sales of Enflurane, Isoflurane, or Sevoflurane
decline precipitously, our business would be seriously harmed, and it would
likely be difficult for us to recover because we do not have the breadth of
products that would enable us to sustain our business while seeking to develop
new types of products or new markets for our existing product.
Our
obligations to the selling stockholder as holder of our Convertible Note are
secured by all of our assets, so if we default on those obligations, the selling
stockholder could foreclose on our assets.
The
selling stockholder, as holder of our convertible note, has a security interest
in all of our assets and those of our subsidiary. As a result, if we default
under our obligations under the Note, the selling stockholder could foreclose
its security interests and liquidate some or all of our assets, which would
harm
our business, financial condition and results of operations.
If
we are unable to successfully develop or commercialize new products, our
operating results will suffer.
Our
future growth and results of operations will depend to a significant extent
upon
our ability to successfully commercialize generic products in a timely manner
that can be promoted through current marketing and distribution channels. There
are numerous difficulties in developing and commercializing new products,
including:
|
·
|
developing,
testing and manufacturing products in compliance with regulatory
standards
in a timely manner;
|
|
·
|
receiving
requisite regulatory approvals for such products in a timely
manner;
|
|
·
|
the
availability, on commercially reasonable terms, of raw materials,
including active pharmaceutical ingredients and other key ingredients;
and
|
|
·
|
unexpected
delays or unanticipated costs.
|
|
|
|
There
can
be no assurance that we will successfully develop new pharmaceutical products
or, if we do develop new products, that we will successfully integrate such
new
products into our existing product lines. In addition, there can be no assurance
that we will receive all necessary FDA approvals or that such approvals will
not
involve delays, which could adversely affect the marketing and sale of our
products. Our failure to develop new products and receive FDA approvals for
such
products in a timely manner could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our
success depends on the development of generic and off-patent pharmaceutical
products that are particularly susceptible to competition, substitution and
reimbursement policies.
Our
success depends, in part, upon our ability to anticipate which branded
pharmaceuticals are about to come off patent and thus permit us to develop,
manufacture (or contract with third-parties to manufacture) and market
equivalent generic pharmaceutical products. Generic pharmaceutical products
must
meet the same quality standards as branded pharmaceutical products, even though
these equivalent generic pharmaceutical products are sold at prices that are
significantly lower than that of branded pharmaceutical products. Generic
substitution is regulated by federal and state governments, as is reimbursement
for generic drug dispensing. There can be no assurance that substitution will
be
permitted for newly approved generic drugs or that such products will be subject
to government reimbursement. In addition, generic pharmaceutical products that
third parties develop may render our generic pharmaceutical products
noncompetitive or obsolete. There can be no assurance that we will be able
to
consistently bring generic pharmaceutical products to market quickly and
efficiently in the future. An increase in competition in the sale of generic
pharmaceutical products or our failure to bring such products to market before
our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial
condition and results of operations.
If
brand pharmaceutical companies are successful in limiting the use of generics
through their legislative, regulatory, and commercial efforts, our sales of
generic products may suffer.
Many
brand pharmaceutical companies increasingly have used state and federal
legislative and regulatory means to delay generic competition. These efforts
have included:
|
·
|
pursuing
new patents for existing products that may be granted just before
the
expiration of one patent, which could extend patent protection for
additional years or otherwise delay the launch of
generics;
|
|
·
|
using
the Citizen Petition process to request amendments to FDA
standards;
|
|
·
|
seeking
changes to U.S. Pharmacopeia, an organization that publishes industry
recognized compendia of drug standards;
|
|
·
|
attaching
patent extension amendments to non-related federal
legislation;
|
|
·
|
engaging
in state-by-state initiatives to enact legislation that restricts
the
substitution of some branded drugs, which could have an impact on
products
that we are developing; and
|
|
·
|
implementing
commercial efforts to switch patients towards branded drugs with
longer
patent protection.
|
If
brand
pharmaceutical companies are successful in limiting the use of generic products
through these or other means, our sales of generic products may decline. If
we
experience a material decline in generic product sales, our results of
operations, financial condition and cash flows will suffer.
From
time to time we may need to rely on licenses to proprietary technologies, which
may be difficult or expensive to obtain.
We
may
need to obtain licenses to patents and other proprietary rights held by third
parties to develop, manufacture (or contract with third-parties to manufacture)
and market products. If we are unable to timely obtain these licenses on
commercially reasonable terms, our ability to commercially market our products
may be inhibited or prevented.
Our
business may be adversely affected by a decline in key
products.
The
sales
of our products could underperform due to numerous factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including:
|
·
|
lower
prices or better terms offered on similar products by other manufacturers
or marketers;
|
|
·
|
substitute
or alternative products or therapies;
|
|
·
|
development
by others of new pharmaceutical products or treatments that are more
effective than our products;
|
|
·
|
introduction
of other generic equivalents or products that may be therapeutically
interchanged with our products;
|
|
·
|
interruptions
in the manufacturing or supply of our products or their
ingredients;
|
|
·
|
changes
in the prescribing practices of physicians;
|
|
·
|
changes
in third-party reimbursement practices; and
|
|
·
|
pending
FDA approval of pipeline products.
|
Any
factor adversely affecting the sale of these or our other key products may
cause
our sales to decline. In particular, if sales of Sevoflurane do not meet our
expectations, our operating results will suffer and our ongoing partnering
relationship with Minrad International, Inc. will be at risk.
Our
sales depend on sales of products manufactured by third-parties, which we cannot
control.
We
derive
all of our sales from the sale of products manufactured by third parties. There
can be no assurance that our dependence on third parties for the manufacture
of
such products will not adversely affect our profit margins or our ability to
develop and deliver our products on a timely and competitive basis. If for
any
reason we are unable to obtain or retain third-party manufacturers on
commercially acceptable terms, we may not be able to distribute certain of
our
products as planned. No assurance can be made that the third-party manufacturers
we use will be able to provide us with sufficient quantities of our products
or
that the products supplied to us will meet our specifications. Any delays or
difficulties with third-party manufacturers could adversely affect the marketing
and distribution of certain of our products, which could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We
may be required to perform additional testing if manufacturing problems are
identified after the products are on the market.
If
manufacturing problems occur, product recalls may be required, regulatory
approval may be withdrawn and reformulation of products, additional testing,
and
changes to or re-approvals of the facilities manufacturing our products may
be
required, any of which could have a material adverse effect on sales of the
affected products and on our business and results of operations.
If
we are unable to obtain sufficient supplies from key suppliers that in some
cases may be the only source of finished products or raw materials, our ability
to deliver our products to the market may be impeded.
We
are
required to identify the supplier(s) of all the raw materials for our products
in our applications with the FDA. To the extent practicable, we attempt to
identify more than one supplier in each drug application. However, some products
and raw materials are available only from a single source and, in some cases,
only one supplier of products and raw materials has been identified, even in
instances where multiple sources exist. We were dependent on two outside
suppliers who accounted for 67.3% and 32.5% of our product purchases during
the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 and are currently dependent on Minrad
International, Inc. as the sole supplier of our product purchases. If our
outside suppliers experienced regulatory or supply-related difficulties that
inhibit their ability to deliver products and raw materials to us and, to the
extent any difficulties experienced by our suppliers cannot be resolved within
a
reasonable time, and at reasonable cost, or if raw materials for a particular
product become unavailable from an approved supplier and we are required to
qualify a new supplier with the FDA, we may not be able to manufacture our
products as planned, our sales and marketing efforts could be delayed and our
profit margins and market share for the affected product could
decrease.
Although
we do not currently purchase any products under our existing arrangements with
foreign suppliers, our arrangements with foreign suppliers are subject to
certain additional risks, including the availability of government clearances,
export duties, political instability, war, acts of terrorism, currency
fluctuations and restrictions on the transfer of funds. Arrangements with
international raw material suppliers are subject to, among other things, FDA
regulation, customs clearances, various import duties and other government
clearances. Acts of governments outside the U.S. may affect the price or
availability of raw materials needed for the development or manufacture of
our
products.
The
formulation, development, manufacture (or contracting with third-parties to
manufacture) and sale of our products involves the risk of product liability
claims by consumers and other third parties, and insurance against such
potential claims is expensive and may be difficult to
obtain.
The
formulation, development, manufacture (or contracting with third-parties to
manufacture) and sale of our products involve an inherent risk of product
liability claims and the associated adverse publicity. Insurance coverage is
expensive and may be difficult to obtain, and may not be available in the future
on acceptable terms, or at all. Although we currently maintain product liability
insurance for our products in amounts we believe to be commercially reasonable,
if the coverage limits of these insurance policies are not adequate, a claim
brought against us, whether covered by insurance or not, could have a material
adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition
and
cash flows.
We
may require additional capital to grow our business and such funds may not
be
available to us.
We
may
require additional funds to grow our business. We may seek additional funds
through public and private financing, including equity and debt offerings.
However, adequate funds through the financial markets or from other sources
may
not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to us. The “going concern”
qualification in our independent registered public accountants’ report related
to their audit of our most recent audited consolidated financial statements
for
the year ended December 31, 2006 may significantly limit the availability of
financing sources to us. In addition, because our common stock currently is
traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and not listed on a national exchange, we
may
experience further difficulty accessing the capital markets. Without sufficient
additional funding, we may be unable to pursue growth opportunities that we
view
as essential to the expansion of our business. Further, the terms of such
additional financing, if obtained, may require the granting of rights,
preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock and could result
in substantial dilution of the existing ownership interests of our common
stockholders and could include covenants and restrictions that limit our ability
to operate or expand our business in a manner that we deem to be in our best
interest.
Our
indebtedness and restrictive debt covenants could limit our financing options
and liquidity position, which would limit our ability to grow our
business.
The
terms
of our Convertible Note could have negative consequences to us, such
as:
|
·
|
we
may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund working capital,
operating losses, capital expenditures or acquisitions on terms acceptable
to us, or at all;
|
|
·
|
we
may be unable to refinance our indebtedness on terms acceptable to
us, or
at all; and
|
|
·
|
we
may be more vulnerable to economic downturns and our ability to withstand
competitive pressure may be
limited.
|
Additionally,
covenants in the securities purchase agreement governing the Convertible Note
impose operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions prohibit
or limit our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to, among other
things:
|
·
|
pay
cash dividends to our stockholders;
|
|
·
|
incur
additional indebtedness;
|
|
·
|
permit
liens on assets or conduct sales of assets; and
|
|
·
|
engage
in transactions with affiliates.
|
These
restrictions may limit our ability to obtain additional financing, withstand
downturns in our business or take advantage of business opportunities. Moreover,
additional debt financing we may seek may contain terms that include more
restrictive covenants, may require repayment on an accelerated schedule or
may
impose other obligations that limit our ability to grow our business, acquire
needed assets, or take other actions we might otherwise consider appropriate
or
desirable.
Dependence
on key executive officers.
Our
success will depend, in part, on our ability to attract and retain key executive
officers. The inability to attract and retain key executive officers, or the
loss of one or more of our key executive officers could have a material adverse
effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
We
must continue to attract and retain key personnel to be able to compete
successfully.
Our
performance depends, to a large extent, on the continued service of our key
personnel, other technical employees, managers and sales personnel and our
ability to continue to attract and retain such personnel. Competition for such
personnel is intense, particularly for highly motivated and experienced
pharmaceutical personnel. We are facing increasing competition from companies
with greater financial resources for such personnel. There can be no assurance
that we will be able to attract and retain sufficient numbers of highly-skilled
personnel in the future, and the inability to do so could have a material
adverse effect on our business, and financial condition and results of
operations.
Risks
Relating To Investing In the Pharmaceutical Industry
We
are subject to substantial regulation by the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Agency
and other regulatory agencies. The costs of complying or the consequences of
failing to comply with such regulations may have a material adverse effect
on
our ability to conduct our business.
Virtually
all aspects of our business, including the development, testing, manufacturing,
processing, quality, safety, efficacy, packaging, labeling, recordkeeping,
distribution, storage and advertising of our products and disposal of waste
products arising from these activities, are subject to extensive regulation
by
federal, state and local governmental authorities in the U.S., including the
FDA, and are increasingly subject to regulation in foreign countries. Compliance
with these regulations is costly and time-consuming.
The
manufacturing facilities and procedures of our suppliers are subject to ongoing
regulation, including periodic inspection by the FDA, the Drug Enforcement
Agency, or DEA, foreign regulatory agencies, and other regulatory authorities,
including state controlled substance authorities. For example, manufacturers
of
pharmaceutical products must comply with detailed regulations governing current
good manufacturing practices, including requirements relating to quality control
and quality assurance. Funds, time and effort must be spent in the areas of
production, safety, quality control and quality assurance to ensure compliance
with these regulations. Notwithstanding our efforts to ensure compliance with
all laws, rules and regulations, there can be no assurance that the
manufacturing facilities of our suppliers will not be subject to regulatory
action in the future.
Products
to be sold by us generally must receive appropriate regulatory clearance before
they can be sold in a particular country, including the U.S. Delays in the
introduction of a product may result from, among other things, insufficient
or
incomplete submissions to the FDA or similar regulatory authorities in foreign
countries for approval of a product, objections by another company with respect
to our submissions for approval, new patents by other companies, patent
challenges by other companies that result in a 180-day exclusivity period and
a
30-month stay, and changes in regulatory policy during the period of product
development or during the regulatory approval process. The FDA and foreign
regulatory authorities have extensive administrative and judicial enforcement
powers over the activities of pharmaceutical manufacturers and marketers to
ensure compliance with FDA regulations. Those powers include, but are not
limited to, the authority to initiate court action to seize unapproved or
non-complying products, to enjoin non-complying activities, to halt
manufacturing operations that are not in compliance with cGMP, to recall
products, to seek civil monetary and criminal fines and penalties. Other
enforcement activities include the refusal to approve product applications
or to
revoke drug approvals previously granted and remove from the market previously
approved products for various reasons, including issues related to current
good
manufacturing practices for that particular product or in general. Any such
enforcement activities could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
We
may be
subject from time to time to any such enforcement activities and any product
recalls initiated by us or by the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities,
unexpected delays in obtaining regulatory approvals, the revocation of a prior
approval, the restriction or prohibition on sales of products we market, or
the
halting of the operations of our third-party manufacturers, each of which could
impose significant costs on us and adversely affect our ability to generate
revenue.
Our
inability or the inability of our suppliers to comply with applicable FDA and
other regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, warning
letters, fines, consent decrees restricting or suspending the operations of
our
third-party manufacturers, delay of approvals for new products, injunctions,
civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension
of
sales and potential criminal prosecution. Any of these or other regulatory
actions could materially adversely affect our business and financial
condition.
We
must
obtain approval from the FDA for each pharmaceutical product that we market.
The
FDA approval process is typically lengthy and expensive, and approval is never
certain. Our new products could take a significantly longer time than we expect
to gain regulatory approval and may never gain approval. Even if the FDA or
another regulatory agency approves a product, the approval may limit the
indicated uses for a product, which may otherwise limit our ability to promote,
sell and distribute a product.
We
and
our third-party manufacturers are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA
to
assure regulatory compliance regarding the manufacturing, distribution, and
promotion of sterile pharmaceutical products. The FDA imposes stringent
mandatory requirements on the manufacture and distribution of sterile
pharmaceutical products to ensure their sterility. The FDA also regulates drug
labeling, promotion and advertising of prescription drugs. A finding by a
governmental agency or court that we are not in compliance the FDA requirements
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
If
the
FDA changes its regulatory position, it could force us to delay or suspend
indefinitely, the operations of our third-party manufacturers, distribution
or
sales of certain products. While we believe that all of our current
pharmaceuticals are lawfully marketed in the U.S. and have received the
requisite agency approvals for manufacture and sale, such marketing authority
is
subject to withdrawal by the FDA. In addition, modifications or enhancements
of
approved products are in many circumstances subject to additional FDA approvals
which may or may not be granted and which may be subject to a lengthy
application process.
We
may implement product recalls and could be exposed to significant product
liability claims; we may have to pay significant amounts to those harmed and
may
suffer from adverse publicity as a result.
The
manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceuticals involves an inherent risk that
our products may prove to be defective and cause a health risk. In that event,
we may voluntarily implement a recall or market withdrawal or may be required
to
do so by a regulatory authority. In the case of a product recall, whether
voluntary or mandated, we could experience significant costs, potential
disruptions in the supply of our products to our customers, and adverse
publicity, all of which could harm our ability to market our
products.
Although
we are not currently subject to any material product liability proceedings,
we
may incur material liabilities relating to product liability claims in the
future. Even meritless claims could subject us to adverse publicity, hinder
us
from securing insurance coverage in the future and require us to incur
significant legal fees and divert the attention of the key employees from
running our business. Successful product liability claims brought against us
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and
results of operations.
We
currently have product liability insurance in the amount of $5,000,000 for
aggregate annual claims with a $25,000 deductible per incident and a $125,000
aggregate annual deductible. However, there can be no assurance that such
insurance coverage will be sufficient to fully cover potential claims.
Additionally, there can be no assurance that adequate insurance coverage will
be
available in the future at acceptable costs, if at all, or that a product
liability claim would not have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
The
FDA may authorize sales of some prescription pharmaceuticals on an
over-the-counter drug or a non-prescription basis, which would reduce the
profitability of our prescription products.
From
time
to time, the FDA elects to permit sales of some pharmaceuticals currently sold
on a prescription basis, without a prescription. FDA approval of the sale of
our
products without a prescription would reduce demand for our competing
prescription products and, accordingly, reduce our profits. The FDA may also
require us to stop selling our product as a prescription drug and obtain
approval of the product for over-the-counter sale.
The
pharmaceutical industry is highly competitive and changes in technology could
render our products obsolete.
We
face
significant competition from other pharmaceutical companies, including major
pharmaceutical companies with financial resources substantially greater than
ours, in developing, acquiring, manufacturing and marketing pharmaceutical
products. The selling prices of pharmaceutical products typically decline as
competition increases. Further, other products now in use, under development
or
acquired by other pharmaceutical companies, may be more effective or offered
at
lower prices than our current or future products. The industry is characterized
by rapid technological change that may render our products obsolete, and
competitors may develop their products more rapidly than we can. Competitors
may
also be able to complete the regulatory process sooner, and therefore, may
begin
to market their products in advance of our products. We believe that competition
in sales of our products is based primarily on price, service and technical
capabilities.
Sales
and
gross profit derived from the sales of generic pharmaceutical products tend
to
follow a pattern based on certain regulatory and competitive factors. As patents
for brand name products and related exclusivity periods expire, the first
generic manufacturer to receive regulatory approval for generic equivalents
of
such products is generally able to achieve significant market penetration.
As
competing off-patent manufacturers receive regulatory approvals on similar
products or as brand manufacturers launch generic versions of such products
(for
which no separate regulatory approval is required), market share, sales and
gross profit typically decline, in some cases dramatically. Accordingly, the
level of market share, revenue and gross profit attributable to a particular
generic product normally is related to the number of competitors in that
product’s market and the timing of that product’s regulatory approval and
launch, in relation to competing approvals and launches. Consequently, we must
continue to develop and introduce new products in a timely and cost-effective
manner to maintain our sales and gross margins. Additionally, as new competitors
enter the market, there may be increased pricing pressure on certain products,
which would result in lower gross margins. There can be no assurance that we
will be able to develop or acquire commercially attractive pharmaceutical
products, additional competitors will not enter the market or competition from
other pharmaceutical companies will not have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Sales
of our products may continue to be adversely affected by the continuing
consolidation of our distribution network and the concentration of our customer
base.
Our
principal customers are wholesale drug distributors, retail drug store chains,
hospitals and alternate site health care facilities. These customers comprise
a
significant part of the distribution network for pharmaceutical products in
the
U.S. This distribution network is continuing to undergo significant
consolidation marked by mergers and acquisitions and the growth of large retail
drug store chains. As a result, a small number of customers control a
significant share of the market. We expect that consolidation of drug
wholesalers and retailers will increase pricing and other competitive pressures
on drug manufacturers.
We
depend on a small number of national account customers, the loss of any of
which
could have a material adverse effect.
A
small
number of customers account for a large portion of the market’s generic drug
purchases. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our three largest
customers accounted for approximately 35%, 15% and 7% of net sales,
respectively. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, our three largest
customers accounted for approximately 22.7%, 17.6% and 13.6% of net sales,
respectively. The loss of one or more of these customers, together with a delay
or inability to secure an alternative distribution source for end users, could
have a material negative impact on our revenue and results of operations. A
change in purchasing patterns, a decrease in inventory levels, an increase
in
returns of our products, delays in purchasing products and delays in payment
for
products by one or more customers also could have a material negative impact
on
our revenue and results of operations.
We
will face uncertainty related to pricing and reimbursement and health care
reform.
In
both
domestic and foreign markets, sales of our products will depend in part on
the
availability of reimbursement from third-party payors such as government health
administration authorities, private health insurers, health maintenance
organizations and other health care-related organizations. Reimbursement by
such
payors is presently undergoing reform and there is significant uncertainty
at
this time how this will affect sales of certain pharmaceutical
products.
Medicare,
Medicaid and other governmental healthcare programs govern drug coverage and
reimbursement levels in the U.S. Federal law requires all pharmaceutical
manufacturers to rebate a percentage of their revenue arising from
Medicaid-reimbursed drug sales to individual states. Our rebates to Medicare
vary by state, and historically, we rebate about 1.5% of sales in state Medicare
rebates. Both the federal and state governments in the United States and foreign
governments continue to propose and pass new legislation, rules and regulations
designed to contain or reduce the cost of health care. Existing regulations
that
affect the price of pharmaceutical and other medical products may also change
before any products are approved for marketing. Cost control initiatives could
decrease the price that we receive for any product developed in the future.
In
addition, third-party payors are increasingly challenging the price and
cost-effectiveness of medical products and services and litigation has been
filed against a number of pharmaceutical companies in relation to these issues.
Our products may not be considered cost effective or adequate third-party
reimbursement may not be available to enable us to maintain price levels
sufficient to realize an adequate return on our investment.
Other
companies may claim that we infringe their intellectual property or proprietary
rights, which could cause us to incur significant expenses or prevent us from
selling products.
Our
success will depend in part on our ability to operate without infringing the
patents and proprietary rights of third parties. The manufacture, use and sale
of new products have been subject to substantial patent rights litigation in
the
pharmaceutical industry. These lawsuits generally relate to the validity and
infringement of patents or proprietary rights of third parties. Infringement
litigation is prevalent with respect to generic versions of products for which
the patent covering the brand name product is expiring, particularly since
many
companies that market generic products focus their development efforts on
products with expiring patents. Other pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology
companies, universities and research institutions may have filed patent
applications or may have been granted patents that cover aspects of our products
or our licensors’ products, product candidates or other
technologies.
Future
or
existing patents issued to third parties may contain patent claims that conflict
with our products. We expect to be subject to infringement claims from time
to
time in the ordinary course of business, and third parties could assert
infringement claims against us in the future with respect to our current
products or with respect to products that we may develop or license. Litigation
or interference proceedings could force us to:
|
·
|
stop
or delay selling, manufacturing or using products that incorporate
or are
made using the challenged intellectual property;
|
|
·
|
pay
damages; or
|
|
·
|
enter
into licensing or royalty agreements that may not be available on
acceptable terms, if at all.
|
Any
litigation or interference proceedings, regardless of their outcome, would
likely delay the regulatory approval process, be costly and require significant
time and attention of key management and technical personnel.
Any
inability to protect intellectual property rights in the U.S. and foreign
countries could limit our ability to facilitate the manufacture of, or to sell,
our products.
The
patent and proprietary rights position of competitors in the pharmaceutical
industry generally is highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual
questions, and is the subject of much litigation. We will rely on trade secrets,
unpatented proprietary know-how, continuing technological innovation and, in
some cases, patent protection to preserve a competitive position. Our patents
and licensed patent rights may be challenged, invalidated, infringed or
circumvented, and the rights granted in those patents may not provide
proprietary protection or competitive advantages to us. We and our licensors
may
not be able to develop patentable products. Even if patent claims are allowed,
the claims may not issue, or in the event of issuance, may not be sufficient
to
protect the technology owned by or licensed to us. Third party patents could
reduce the coverage of the patent’s license, or that may be licensed to or owned
by us. If patents containing competitive or conflicting claims are issued to
third parties, we may be prevented from commercializing the products covered
by
such patents, or may be required to obtain or develop alternate technology.
In
addition, other parties may duplicate, design around or independently develop
similar or alternative technologies. There can be no assurances that any patent
applications or other proprietary rights, including licensed rights, relating
to
our potential products or processes will result in patents being issued or
other
proprietary rights secured, or that the resulting patents or proprietary rights,
if any, will provide protection against competitors who successfully challenge
our patents or proprietary rights, obtain patents or proprietary rights that
may
have an adverse effect on our ability to conduct business or are able to
circumvent our patent or proprietary rights position.
It
is
possible that other parties have conducted or are conducting research and could
make discoveries of pharmaceutical formulations or processes that would precede
any discoveries made by us, which could prevent us from obtaining patent or
other protection for these discoveries or marketing products developed
therefrom. Consequently, there can be no assurance that others will not
independently develop pharmaceutical products similar to or obsolescing those
that we are planning to develop, or duplicate any of our products. Our inability
to obtain patents for, or other proprietary rights in, our products and
processes or the ability of competitors to circumvent or obsolete our patents
or
proprietary rights could have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition, and results of operations.
We
may
not be able to prevent third parties from infringing or using our intellectual
property, and the parties from whom we may license intellectual property may
not
be able to prevent third parties from infringing or using the licensed
intellectual property. We generally will control and limit access to, and the
distribution of, our product documentation and other proprietary information.
Despite efforts to protect this proprietary information, however, unauthorized
parties may obtain and use information that we may regard as proprietary. Other
parties may independently develop similar know-how or may even obtain access
to
these technologies.
The
laws
of some foreign countries do not protect proprietary information to the same
extent as the laws of the U.S., and many companies have encountered significant
problems and costs in protecting their proprietary information in these foreign
countries.
The
U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and the courts have not established a consistent
policy regarding the breadth of claims allowed in pharmaceutical patents. The
allowance of broader claims may increase the incidence and cost of patent
interference proceedings and the risk of infringement litigation. On the other
hand, the allowance of narrower claims may limit the value of our proprietary
rights.
We
may need to change our business practices to comply with changes to, or may
be
subject to charges under, the fraud and abuse laws.
We
will
be subject to various federal and state laws pertaining to health care fraud
and
abuse, including anti-kickback, marketing and pricing laws. Violations of these
laws are punishable by criminal and/or civil sanctions, including, in some
instances, imprisonment and exclusion from participation in federal and state
health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. We may have to change our
business practices, or existing business practices could be challenged as
unlawful due to changes in laws, regulations or rules or due to administrative
or judicial findings, which could materially adversely affect our
business.
We
may become subject to federal false claims or other similar litigation brought
by private individuals and the government.
The
Federal False Claims Act allows persons meeting specified requirements to bring
suit alleging false or fraudulent Medicare or Medicaid claims and to share
in
any amounts paid to the government in fines or settlement. These suits, known
as
qui tam actions, have increased significantly in recent years and have increased
the risk that a health care company will have to defend a false claim action,
pay fines and/or be excluded from Medicare and Medicaid programs. Federal false
claims litigation can lead to civil monetary penalties, criminal fines and
imprisonment and/or exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and
other
federally funded health programs. Other alternate theories of liability may
also
be available to private parties seeking redress for such claims. A number of
parties have brought claims against numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers,
and
there can be no assurance that such claims will not be brought against us,
or if
they are brought, that such claims might not be successful.
Risks
related to FineTech Pharmaceutical
The
principal research and development and manufacturing facilities of FineTech
Pharmaceutical, our wholly-owned subsidiary, are located in Israel and the
unstable military and political conditions of Israel may cause interruption
or
suspension of our business operations without warning.
FineTech
Pharmaceutical’s principal research and development and manufacturing facilities
are located in Haifa, Israel. As a result, FineTech Pharmaceutical is directly
influenced by the political, economic and military conditions affecting Israel.
Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, a number of armed
conflicts have taken place between Israel and its Arab neighbors and, since
September 2000, involving the Palestinian population, and a state of hostility,
varying in degree and intensity, has led to security and economic problems
for
Israel and companies based in Israel. Acts of random terrorism periodically
occur which could affect our operations or personnel. In addition, Israeli-based
companies and companies doing business with Israel, have been the subject of
an
economic boycott by members of the Arab League and certain other predominantly
Muslim countries since Israel’s establishment. Although Israel has entered into
various agreements with certain Arab countries and the Palestinian Authority,
and various declarations have been signed in connection with efforts to resolve
some of the economic and political problems in the Middle East, we cannot
predict whether or in what manner these problems will be resolved. Also, since
the end of September 2000, there has been a marked increase in the level of
terrorism in Israel, which has significantly damaged both the Israeli economy
and levels of foreign and local investment. Furthermore, certain of FineTech
Pharmaceutical’s officers and employees may be obligated to perform annual
reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces and are subject to being called up
for
active military duty at any time.
We
have significant international operations, including in Israel, which may be
adversely affected by acts of terrorism, major hostilities or adverse
legislation or litigation.
Significant
portions of FineTech Pharmaceutical’s operations are conducted outside of the
United States, and FineTech Pharmaceutical imports a substantial number of
products into the United States. FineTech Pharmaceutical may, therefore, be
directly affected and denied access to our customers by a closure of the borders
of the United States for any reason or as a result of other economic, political
and military conditions in the countries in which FineTech Pharmaceutical’s
businesses are located. FineTech Pharmaceutical may also be affected by currency
exchange rate fluctuations and the exchange control regulations of such
countries or other political crises or disturbances, which impede access to
FineTech Pharmaceutical’s suppliers.
FineTech
Pharmaceutical’s executive offices and manufacturing facilities are located in
Israel. FineTech Pharmaceutical’s Israeli operations are dependent upon
materials imported from outside of Israel. We also export significant amounts
of
products from Israel. Accordingly, FineTech Pharmaceutical’s operations could be
materially and adversely affected by acts of terrorism or if major hostilities
should occur in the Middle East or trade between Israel and its present trading
partners should be curtailed, including as a result of acts of terrorism in
the
United States or elsewhere. Any such effects may not be covered by insurance.
FineTech
Pharmaceutical is subject to legislation in Israel, primarily relating to
patents and data exclusivity provisions, that may prevent FineTech
Pharmaceutical from exporting Israeli-manufactured products in a timely fashion.
Additionally, the existence of third-party patents in Israel, with the attendant
risk of litigation, may cause FineTech Pharmaceutical to move production outside
of Israel or otherwise adversely affect FineTech Pharmaceutical’s ability to
export certain products from Israel.
Because
some of FineTech Pharmaceutical’s officers are located in non-U.S.
jurisdictions, there may be no effective recourse against the management for
misconduct and may not be able to enforce judgment and civil liabilities against
its officers, experts and agents.
Most
of
FineTech Pharmaceutical’s officers are nationals and/or residents of countries
other than the United States, and all or a substantial portion of their assets
are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult to
enforce within the United States any judgments obtained against FineTech
Pharmaceutical’s officers or directors, including judgments predicated upon the
civil liability provisions of the securities laws of the United States or any
U.S. state.
FineTech
Pharmaceutical’s failure to comply with applicable environmental laws and
regulations worldwide could adversely impact FineTech Pharmaceutical’s business
and results of operations.
FineTech
Pharmaceutical is subject to laws and regulations concerning the environment,
safety matters, regulation of chemicals and product safety in the countries
where FineTech Pharmaceutical manufactures and sells its products or otherwise
operates its business. These requirements include regulation of the handling,
manufacture, transportation, use and disposal of materials, including the
discharge of pollutants into the environment. In the normal course of FineTech
Pharmaceutical’s business, FineTech Pharmaceutical is exposed to risks relating
to possible releases of hazardous substances into the environment that could
cause environmental or property damage or personal injuries, and that could
require remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Under certain laws,
FineTech Pharmaceutical may be required to remediate contamination at certain
of
FineTech Pharmaceutical’s properties regardless of whether the contamination was
caused by FineTech Pharmaceutical, or by previous occupants of the property.
In
recent
years, the operations of all companies have become subject to increasingly
stringent legislation and regulation related to occupational safety and health,
product registration and environmental protection. Such legislation and
regulations are complex and constantly changing, and FineTech Pharmaceutical
cannot assure you that future changes in laws or regulations would not require
it to install additional controls for certain of FineTech Pharmaceutical’s
emission sources, to undertake changes in its manufacturing processes or to
remediate soil or groundwater contamination at facilities where such clean-up
is
not currently required.
Risks
Relating to the Market for our Common Stock
We
may issue additional shares of our common stock upon the redemption of the
Convertible Note or for our failure to meet certain performance targets, which
could result in our existing stockholders experiencing
dilution.
The
Convertible Note allows us, so long as there is not an event of default, to
redeem up to 100% of the Note. However, should we redeem more than 50% of the
Note, our Series B Warrant will become exercisable at $1.1262 per share for
4,661,694 shares if the Note is redeemed in full, or such less number of shares,
as adjusted pro rata depending on how much of the Note is redeemed. In addition,
should we fail to meet certain earnings targets commencing in the first fiscal
quarter of 2008 and more than 50% of the Note has not yet been redeemed, the
conversion price of the Note shall be reset to the lower of (i) the then current
conversion price or (ii) 85% of the average market price of our common stock
at
such time. Each of these scenarios could lead to us issuing substantially more
shares of our common stock to the noteholder at discounted prices, which will
lead to greater dilution of existing stockholders’ percentage of ownership and
voting power.
The
requirements of being a public company may strain our resources and distract
management.
As
a
public company, we are subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These
requirements are extensive. The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
requires that we file annual, quarterly and current reports with respect to
our
business and financial condition. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 requires that
we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls
for financial reporting. In order to maintain and improve the effectiveness
of
our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial
reporting, significant resources and management oversight is required. This
may
divert management’s attention from other business concerns, which could have a
material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of
operations.
Because
we became public by means of a reverse merger, we may not be able to attract
the
attention of major brokerage firms.
There
may
be risks associated with us becoming public through a “reverse merger”.
Securities analysts of major brokerage firms may not provide coverage of us
since there is no incentive to brokerage firms to recommend the purchase of
our
common stock. No assurance can be given that brokerage firms will, in the
future, want to conduct any secondary offerings on our behalf.
There
is currently a limited trading market for our common stock and we cannot ensure
that one will ever develop or be sustained.
There
is
currently a limited trading market for our common stock. We cannot predict
how
liquid the market for our common stock might become. Our common stock is
currently approved for quotation on the OTC Bulletin Board. We anticipate
listing our common stock as soon as practicable on either the American Stock
Exchange, the NASDAQ Stock Market or a different national or other securities
exchange, assuming that we can satisfy the initial listing standards for such.
We currently do not satisfy the initial listing standards, and cannot ensure
that we will be able to satisfy such listing standards or that our common stock
will be accepted for listing on any such exchange. Should we fail to satisfy
the
initial listing standards of such exchanges, or our common stock be otherwise
rejected for listing and remain on the OTC Bulletin Board or be suspended from
the OTC Bulletin Board, the trading price of our common stock could suffer,
the
trading market for our common stock may be less liquid and our common stock
price may be subject to increased volatility.
In
addition, the price at which our common stock may be sold is very unpredictable
because there are very few trades in our common stock. Because our common stock
is so thinly traded, a large block of shares traded can lead to a dramatic
fluctuation in the share price.
Failure
to comply with internal control attestation requirements could lead to loss
of
public confidence in our financial statements and negatively impact our stock
price.
Pursuant
to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will be required to include
in each Annual Report on Form 10-K, management’s assessment of the effectiveness
of our internal control over financial reporting. Furthermore, beginning with
the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2008, our independent registered public
accounting firm will be required to attest to whether management’s assessment of
the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting is fairly stated
in all material respects and separately report on whether it believes we
maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting. If we fail to timely complete the development of our internal
controls and management is unable to make this assessment, or, once required,
if
the independent registered public accounting firm cannot timely attest to this
assessment, we could be subject to regulatory sanctions and a loss of public
confidence in our internal control and the reliability of our financial
statements, which ultimately could negatively impact our stock
price.
Any
future acquisitions and other material changes in our operations likely will
require us to expand and possibly revise our disclosure controls and procedures,
internal controls and related corporate governance policies. In addition, the
new and changed laws and regulations are subject to varying interpretations
in
many cases due to their lack of specificity and, as a result, their application
in practice may evolve over time as new guidance is provided by regulatory
and
governing bodies. If our efforts to comply with new or changed laws and
regulations differ from the conduct intended by regulatory or governing bodies
due to ambiguities or varying interpretations of the law, we could be subject
to
regulatory sanctions, our reputation may be harmed and our stock price may
be
adversely affected.
Public
company compliance may make it more difficult to attract and retain officers
and
directors.
The
Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and new rules subsequently implemented by the
Securities and Exchange Commission have required changes in corporate governance
practices of public companies. As a public company, we expect these new rules
and regulations to increase our compliance costs in 2008 and beyond and to
make
certain activities more time consuming and costly. As a public company, we
also
expect that these new rules and regulations may make it more difficult and
expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance in the
future and we may be required to accept reduced policy limits and coverage
or
incur substantially higher costs to obtain the same or similar coverage. As
a
result, it may be more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified persons
to serve on our board of directors or as executive officers.
Persons
associated with securities offerings, including consultants, may be deemed
to be
broker dealers.
In
the
event that any of our outstanding securities were offered without engaging
a
registered broker-dealer we may face claims for rescission and other remedies.
If any claims or actions were to be brought against us relating to our lack
of
compliance with the broker-dealer requirements, we could be subject to
penalties, required to pay fines, make damages payments or settlement payments,
or repurchase such securities. In addition, any claims or actions could force
us
to expend significant financial resources to defend ourselves, could divert
the
attention of our management from our core business and could harm our
reputation.
Future
changes in financial accounting standards or practices may cause adverse
unexpected financial reporting fluctuations and affect reported results of
operations.
A
change
in accounting standards or practices can have a significant effect on our
reported results and may even affect its reporting of transactions completed
before the change is effective. New accounting pronouncements and varying
interpretations of accounting pronouncements have occurred and may occur in
the
future. Changes to existing rules or the questioning of current practices may
adversely affect our reported financial results or the way it conducts
business.
Our
officers and directors own a substantial amount of our common stock and,
therefore, exercise significant control over our corporate governance and
affairs, which may result in their taking actions with which you do not
agree.
Our
executive officers and directors, and entities affiliated with them,
beneficially own approximately 33% of our outstanding common stock. These
stockholders, if they act together, may be able to exercise substantial
influence over the outcome of all corporate actions requiring approval of our
stockholders, including the election of directors and approval of significant
corporate transactions, which may result in corporate action with which you
do
not agree. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying
or preventing a change in control, which might be in your best interest, but
which might negatively affect the market price of our common stock.
Significant
quarterly fluctuation of our results of operations which may increase the
volatility of our stock price.
Our
results of operations may vary from quarter to quarter due to a variety of
factors including, but not limited to, the timing of the development and
marketing of new pharmaceutical products, the failure to develop such products,
delays in obtaining government approvals, including FDA approval of applications
for our products, expenditures to comply with governmental requirements for
manufacturing facilities, expenditures incurred to acquire and promote
pharmaceutical products, changes in our customer base, a customer’s termination
of a substantial account, the availability and cost of raw materials,
interruptions in supply by third-party manufacturers, the introduction of new
products or technological innovations by our competitors, loss of key personnel,
changes in the mix of products sold by us, changes in sales and marketing
expenditures, competitive pricing pressures, expenditures incurred to pursue
or
contest pending or threatened legal action and our ability to meet our financial
covenants. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in avoiding
losses in any future period. Such fluctuations may result in volatility in
the
price of our common stock.
Our
stock price may be volatile in response to market and other factors, which
may
limit our ability to raise capital in the future or cause investment losses
for
our stockholders.
The
market price for our stock may continue to be, volatile and subject to price
and
volume fluctuations in response to market and other factors, including the
following, some of which are beyond our control:
|
·
|
the
concentration of the ownership of our shares by a limited number
of
affiliated stockholders may limit interest in our
securities;
|
|
·
|
variations
in quarterly operating results from the expectations of securities
analysts or investors;
|
|
·

|
In
the
past, following periods of volatility in the market price of a company’s
securities, securities class action litigation has often been brought against
that company. Due to the potential volatility of our stock price, we may be
the
target of securities litigation in the future. Securities litigation could
result in substantial costs and divert management’s attention and resources from
our business.
We
may not be able to achieve secondary trading of our stock in certain states
because our common stock is not nationally traded, which could subject our
stockholders to significant restrictions and costs.
Because
our common stock is not listed for trading on a national securities exchange,
our common stock is subject to the securities laws of the various states and
jurisdictions of the U.S. in addition to federal securities law. This regulation
covers any primary offering we might attempt and all secondary trading by our
stockholders. While we may register our common stock or qualify for exemptions
for our common stock in one of more states, if we fail to do so the investors
in
those states where we have not taken such steps may not be allowed to purchase
our stock or those who presently hold our stock may not be able to resell their
shares without substantial effort and expense. These restrictions and potential
costs could be significant burdens on our stockholders.
Our
certificate of incorporation allows for our board to create new series of
preferred stock without further approval by our stockholders, which could
adversely affect the rights of the holders of our common
stock.
Our
board
of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and
preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority
to
issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval. As a result, our
board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock
that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation,
the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to
the
holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together
with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock. In addition, our
board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock
that has greater voting power than our common stock or that is convertible
into
our common stock, which could decrease the relative voting power of our common
stock or result in dilution to our existing stockholders.
If
we issue additional shares of stock, such issuances can dilute the tangible
net
book value of shares of our outstanding stock.
We
may
issue shares of stock at a purchase price that is substantially lower than
the
market price of shares of our common stock, without stockholder approval. If
we
issue such shares of stock, then the tangible net book value of shares of our
outstanding stock will be diluted.
“Penny
stock” rules may make buying or selling our common stock
difficult.
Trading
in our common stock is subject to the “penny stock” rules. The Securities and
Exchange Commission has adopted regulations that generally define a penny stock
to be any equity security that has a market price of less than $4.00 per share,
subject to certain exceptions. These rules require that any broker-dealer that
recommends our common stock to persons other than prior customers and accredited
investors, must, prior to the sale, make a special written suitability
determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to
execute the transaction. Unless an exception is available, the regulations
require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock, of
a
disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated
with trading in the penny stock market. In addition, broker-dealers must
disclose commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered
representative and current quotations for the securities they offer. The
additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may
discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock,
which
could severely limit the market price and liquidity of our common
stock.
Exercise
of warrants and the conversion of debt may have a dilutive effect on our common
stock.
If
the
price per share of our common stock at the time of exercise or conversion
of any
warrants, options, convertible debt, or any other convertible securities
is in
excess of the various exercise or conversion prices of such convertible
securities, exercise or conversion of such convertible securities would have
a
dilutive effect on our common stock. As of June 2, 2008, holders of our
outstanding options and warrants would receive 48,823,434 shares of our common
stock at a weighted average exercise price of $0.91 per share and the holder
of
our outstanding Convertible Note would receive 48,231,511 shares of
our common stock at a conversion price of $0.2177 per share. The amount of
such
dilution that may result from the exercise or conversion of the foregoing,
however, cannot currently be determined as it would depend on the difference
between our common stock price and the price at which such convertible
securities were exercised or converted at the time of such exercise or
conversion. Any additional financing that we secure may require the granting
of
rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of our common stock and
which
result in additional dilution of the existing ownership interests of our
common
shareholders.
USE
OF PROCEEDS
We
will
not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our common stock by
the
selling stockholder, but we will from the exercise of warrants held by the
selling stockholder. These proceeds, if any, will be used for general corporate
purposes and working capital.
MARKET

Our
common stock was quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board from July 23, 2007

DIVIDEND
POLICY
We
have
not declared nor paid any cash dividend on our common stock, and we currently
intend to retain future earnings, if any, to finance the expansion of our
business, and we do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable
future. The decision whether to pay cash dividends on our common stock will
be
made by our board of directors, in their discretion, and will depend on our
financial condition, operating results, capital requirements and other factors
that our board of directors considers significant.

Management
’
s
Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation
.
|
The
following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our
financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report
for
our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 and for the interim period ended
March
31, 2008.
Overview
We
develop and market generic prescription drug products in specialty generic
markets in the areas of anesthesia, sterile liquid dose drugs (which includes
ophthalmic and sterile inhalation respiratory products and injectible drugs)
and
APIs.
We
were
formed as a Delaware limited liability company in November 2001 for the purpose
of providing customized computing and communications services and solutions
for
small to medium-sized businesses. On August 24, 2005, we were converted into
a
Delaware corporation and changed our name from Southridge Technology Group,
LLC
to Southridge Technology Group, Inc. On July 13, 2007, we completed a reverse
merger, pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours merged with and
into
a privately held Delaware corporation engaged in the development and marketing
of generic pharmaceuticals, RxElite Holdings Inc., with the private company
being the surviving company. In connection with the reverse merger, we
discontinued our former business and succeeded to the business of RxElite
Holdings Inc. as our sole line of business. For financial reporting purposes,
RxElite Holdings Inc., and not us, is considered the accounting acquiror.
Accordingly, the historical financial statements presented and the discussion
of
financial condition and results of operations herein are those of RxElite
Holdings Inc. and do not include our historical financial results. Our July
13,
2007 merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization
of RxElite Holdings Inc. for financial accounting purposes. Consequently,
the
assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in the financial
statements prior to the merger are those of RxElite Holdings Inc. and recorded
at the historical cost basis of RxElite Holdings, and the consolidated financial
statements after completion of the merger includes our assets and liabilities
and the assets and liabilities of RxElite Holdings Inc., historical operations
of RxElite Holdings Inc. and our operations from the closing date of the
merger.
On
October 29, 2007, we amended our certificate of incorporation to change our
name
to “RxElite, Inc.” from “Southridge Technology Group, Inc.” and to increase the
number of shares of authorized capital stock to 201,000,000, divided into
two
classes: 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. Prior to
the
amendment, the number of shares of authorized capital stock was 99,000,000,
divided into two classes: 98,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001
per
share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.
On
December 31, 2007, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with the
selling stockholder, pursuant to which we sold 5,594,033 shares of our common
stock, a 9.50% senior secured redeemable convertible note in the
principal amount of $10,500,000 (“Convertible Note”) a Series A warrant to
purchase up to 13,985,083 shares of our common stock (“Series A Warrant”) and a
Series B warrant to purchase up to 4,661,694 shares of our common stock (“Series
B Warrant”, and together with the Series A Warrant, “Warrants”) for aggregate
gross proceeds of $10,500,000 (“Securities Purchase Agreement”). To secure our
obligations under the Convertible Note, we granted the selling stockholder
a
first priority perfected security interest in all of our assets and properties,
together with all of the assets and properties of RxElite Holdings Inc.,
including the stock of RxElite Holdings Inc. On January 18, 2008, we entered
into a letter agreement with the selling stockholder, pursuant to which we
amended certain terms of the Convertible Note, the Series A Warrant and the
Series B Warrant.
On
January 4, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical Ltd.
(formerly known as RxElite Israel Ltd.), a company organized under the laws
of
the State of Israel (“FineTech Pharmaceutical”), entered into an asset purchase
agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of FineTech Laboratories,
Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State of Israel (“FineTech”),
for an aggregate purchase price of $6,200,000 (“FineTech Acquisition”). In
connection with the FineTech Acquisition, Dr. Arie Gutman, the sole owner
of
FineTech and currently the president of FineTech Pharmaceutical and a director
of our company, agreed not to engage in certain activities that would be
competitive with our or FineTech Pharmaceutical’s business and to assign the
right to receive royalties with respect to the sale of certain pharmaceutical
products to us. On January 22, 2008 we issued 18,632,383 shares of our common
stock to Dr. Gutman in consideration for his non-competition undertaking
and assignment of royalty rights.
Results
of Operations
Year
Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2006.
Sales
Sales
decreased by $11,359,538 from $14,171,134 for the twelve months ended December
31, 2006 to $2,811,596 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. This
decrease over the twelve months reflects the divestiture of two product lines,
Albuterol 0.083% and Ipratropium 0.02%, to Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation
on August 18, 2006. Over 99% of our sales came from customers in the U.S.
We
realized a higher gross margin on sales, however, in 2007 after the divestiture
of the product lines.
For
the
first quarter of 2006, over 90% of our sales came from our Albuterol 0.083%
and
Ipratropium 0.02% product lines. Since August 18, 2006, our anesthesia gas
product line accounted for over 99% of our sales.
Cost
of Goods Sold
Cost
of
goods sold decreased by $11,202,776 from $13,870,372 for the twelve months
ended
December 31, 2006 to $2,667,596 for the twelve months ended December 31,
2007.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of sales decreased from approximately
98% for
the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to approximately 95% for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2007. The increase in the cost of goods sold as
a
percentage of sales was a result of a transition in product mix.
Gross
Profit
Gross
profit decreased by $156,762 from $300,762 for the twelve months ended December
31, 2006 to $144,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. Gross
profit
as a percentage of sales decreased for the twelve months ended December 31,
2007
resulting from a transition in product mix.
Operating
Expenses
Year
Ended December 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended December 31,
2006.
Selling
Expense (Sales & Marketing)
Sales
and
marketing expense increased by $2,407,063 from $1,056,845 for the twelve
months
ended December 31, 2006 to $3,463,908 for the twelve months ended December
31,
2007. This growth in sales and marketing expenses was driven by the expansion
of
our sales organization and expenses related to preparation for product launches
in future periods, including the launch of Sevoflurane that took place in
May
2007.
Product
Purchase Agreements
We
incurred a $4,400,000 non-cash expense in the second quarter of 2007 related
to
the issuance of common stock to our trade partner, Minrad, and to International
Capital Advisory Inc. (“ICA”) for royalties related to Minrad products sold by
us. Minrad owns the ANDAs and manufactures three of our products: Sevoflurane,
Isoflurane, and Enflurane. As part of an agreement for Minrad to extend 180-day
payment terms to us for two years, we agreed to issue a total of 7,333,333
shares of our common stock to Minrad and ICA.
Salaries,
Wages and Benefits
Salaries,
wages and benefits increased $2,669,090 from $1,110,753 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2006 to $3,779,843 for the twelve months ended December
31,
2007. This increase was due primarily to the launch of Sevoflourane in 2007.
This increase was partially offset due to a total of $202,126 in non-cash,
stock-based compensation expense recorded in the twelve months ended December
31, 2006 related to the modification of terms of common stock warrants and
the
issuance of shares of our common stock to employees. There was no similar
expense during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007.
Research
and Product Development
Research
and development, or product development expenses increased by $2,643,415
from
$502,580 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to $3,145,995 for
the
twelve months ended December 31, 2007. We have a pipeline of 11 ANDAs in
various
stages of development and currently anticipate making filings in 2008 and
each
year thereafter.
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses increased by $73,628 from $1,764,597 for the
twelve
months ended December 31, 2006 to $1,838,225 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2007. These increases were driven by the increase in new employee
costs related to the launch of generic Sevoflurane, along with professional
fees
and expenses related to our merger and equity funding.
Depreciation
and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization expense increased $103,275 from $91,126 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2006 to $194,401 for the twelve months ended December
31,
2007. In addition, for the year ended December 31, 2007, there was $239,964
of
depreciation expense included in cost of goods sold compared to $0 for the
year
ended December 31, 2006. The increase was due to the increase in property
and
equipment during 2007 from $465,649 at December 31, 2006 to $2,433,552 at
December 31, 2007.
Other
Income (Expenses)
The
loss
on debt restructure in the three months ended December 31, 2007 consisted
of
payments made to debt holders in accordance with early repayment terms in
the
related note agreements. The loss on debt restructure for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2007 included these payments plus an amount resulting
from
our agreement with a shareholder to convert a portion of a loan to shares
of our
common stock and a portion of a loan to be paid in cash.
For
the
twelve months ended December 31, 2006, we reported a gain on debt restructure
described below. From 2002 through August 2006, we operated under a contract
manufacturing, distribution and finance agreement with Nephron Pharmaceuticals
Corporation, under which Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation manufactured
Albuterol 0.083% and Ipratropium 0.02% for us to thereafter sell under our
own
label. Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation also provided extended credit
terms
to us. In August 2006, we mutually agreed to terminate our agreement. In
order
to continue to provide our former customers with an uninterrupted supply
of
Albuterol 0.083% and Ipratropium 0.02%, we worked together with Nephron
Pharmaceuticals Corporation during the transition to establish direct sales
to
those customers by Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation. As to each such
customer, Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation assumed any liability that
we may
have had for rebates of any type owed in relation to the service of those
customers. In addition, Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation agreed to assume
all
chargeback balances specifically associated with servicing McKesson Corporation,
Cardinal Health, Inc., AmerisourceBergen Corporation and Rochester Drug
Cooperative, Inc. In exchange for the transition of our Albuterol 0.083%
and
Ipratropium 0.02% product lines to Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation, and
the
future value of the sales and gross margins Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation
would receive from the direct sales of Albuterol 0.083% and Ipratropium 0.02%
to
our former customers, Nephron forgave all our then owed outstanding balances.
The total value of this transaction resulted in a realized gain of $12,335,199
in the twelve months ended December 31, 2006.
Changes
in the other income (expense) amounts not discussed above were not material
to
our operations.
Net
Loss Available for Common Stock Holders
Net
loss
available for common stockholders increased by $24,691,106 from net income
of
$7,525,831 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2006 to a net loss of
$17,165,275 for the twelve months ended December 31,2007. The increase in
our
net loss for the twelve months ended December 31, 2007 was attributed to
the
increase in our operating expenses in preparation for the launch of generic
Sevoflurance, the significant increase in research and development expenses
as
we moved forward with our pipeline of ANDAs and the $4,400,000 non-cash expense
related to the issuance of shares to Minrad International, Inc. for our product
purchase agreements. In addition, net income for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2006 included a gain on debt restructure of $12,335,199. Also
contributing to our net loss were greater sales of higher margin products
and
further low gross margins, which were a result of a change in product
mix.

to $2,999,403 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase

Selling
Expense (Sales & Marketing)
Sales
and
marketing expense decreased by $305,766 from $450,733 for the three months
ended
March 31, 2007 to $144,967 for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
This
decrease in sales and marketing expenses was a result of reclassification
for
financial statement preparation from a selling expense to the salaries,
wages
and benefits account.
Salaries,
Wages and Benefits
Salaries,
wages and benefits increased by $833,062 from $533,643 for the three
months
ended March 31, 2007 to $1,366,705 for the three months ended March 31,
2008.
The increase in salaries, wages and benefits in the three months ended
March 31,
2008 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2007 was due an increase
in
salaries, wages and benefits due to the launch of generic Sevoflurane
and
related increased operating activities. Further increase was a result
of opening
our subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical, in Israel after our recent asset
acquisition, as well as a reclassification from the selling expense
account.
Research
and Product Development
Research
and development, or product development expenses for the three months
ended
March 31, 2008 decreased by $655,202 from $809,558 for the three month
period
ended March 31, 2007 to $154,356 for the three month period ended March
31,
2008. The decrease in research and development was due to the termination
of the
Core Tech agreement in the period ended March 31, 2008, which was in
effect
during the period ended March 31, 2007. This amount was partially offset
by
costs incurred for research and development conducted by our
subsidiary
General
and Administrative
General
and administrative expenses increased by $551,705 from $303,066 for the
three
months ended March 31, 2007 to $854,771 for the three months ended March
31,
2008. These increases were driven by the increase in new employee costs
related
the launch of generic Sevoflurane, professional fees and expenses related
to our
asset acquisition, professional fees and expenses related to operating
as a
public company, and the addition of board of director fees and
expenses.
Amortization
Amortization
expense increased $132,342 from $650 for the three months ended March
31, 2007
to $132,992 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This amount was
due to
the increase in intangible assets acquired by our subsidiary, FineTech
Pharmaceutical, Ltd.
Depreciation
Depreciation
expense increased $139,749 from $37,503 for the three months ended March
31,
2007 to $177,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase
was due
to the increase in assets acquired by our subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical,
Ltd.

Interest
Income
Interest
income decreased by $10,073 from $25,901 for the three month period ended
March
31, 2007 to $15,828 for the three month period ended March 31, 2008.
The
decrease is due to lower levels of interest-bearing deposits during the
first
three months.
Interest
Expense
Interest
expense increased by $210,149 from $100,398 for the three month period
ended
March 31, 2007 to $310,548 for the three month period ended March 31,
2008. The
increase is due to the quarterly interest payments of $249,375 to Castlerigg
Investments, Ltd. related to our convertible debt acquired on December
31, 2007.
There are seven additional quarterly interest payments due related
to the
convertible debt financing.
Amortization
of Debt Discount
Amortization
of debt discount increased by $1,305,519 from $0 for the three month
period
ended March 31, 2007 to $1,305,519 for the three month period ended
March 31,
2008. The increase is due to the present value discount related to
our
convertible debt acquired on December 31, 2007.
Termination
of Development Agreement
Termination
of Development Agreement increased by $800,000 from $0 for the three
month
period ended March 31, 2007 to $800,000 for the three month period
ended March
31, 2008. The increase is due to the termination of the agreement with
Core Tech
Technologies, Ltd. during the first three months of the current
year.
Loss
on Note Conversion Rate Change
As
of
March 31, 2008, we failed to satisfy the EBITDA ratio of our Convertible
Note
and, as a result, the conversion price of the Convertible Note was
adjusted
downward from $1.1262 to a price of $0.2177 per share. Based upon the
new conversion price, if the Convertible Note were converted in full,
we would
be required to issue 48,231,511 shares of Common Stock to the holder of the
Convertible Note. These new shares would represent approximately 29% of
our then outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the new
conversion price, under the terms of the Note and Warrants, the investor
cannot
convert the Note or exercise any warrants to the extent that such conversion
or
exercise would result in the investor holding in excess of 4.99% of
our
outstanding common stock. Since the investor presently holds
5,594,033 shares of our common stock, it could not convert the convertible
Note
for an amount that would exceed 210,101 shares, based upon 116,315,303
shares
outstanding prior to such conversion.
As
such,
the Company for its first quarter consolidated in its Form 10-Q
for the period, revalued the convertible debenture based on the amended
terms of
the Convertible Note. Accordingly, $55,848 was allocated to Debt Discount,
$3,755,678 to Loss on Note Conversion Rate Change, and $3,811,526 was
allocated
to the equity component of the Note. Because the Convertible Note terms
the
formula for determining the reset price required a measurement period
ending after the end of the first quarter, we included an estimate of
these revaluation figures in our report. Our second quarter Form 10-Q
will
include an updated revaluation based upon the definitive new conversion
price.
Changes
in the other income (expense) amounts not discussed above were not
material to
our operations.
Net
loss Available for Common Stock Holders
Net
loss
available for common stockholders increased by $ 4,831,478 from net
loss of
$2,208,362 for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to a net loss
of $7,039,840
for the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in our net
loss for the
first three months of the current fiscal year was due to the loss on
the note
conversion ($3,755,678), which was partially offset by a gain in an
accounts
payable write off ($800,000). In addition, the increase was attributed
to the
increased expenses incurred as a result of our recent launch of Sevoflurane,
the
asset acquisition depreciation and amortization costs, and the formation
and
operating expenses of our new subsidiary.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
December 31, 2007, we had current assets of $18,530,280, including cash and
equivalents of $10,113,584, accounts receivable of $960,140, inventory of
$7,353,339 and other current assets of $94,272. As of December 31, 2007,
we had
current liabilities of $7,145,245, consisting primarily of accounts payable
of
$5,720,737. As a result, at December 31, 2007, we had net working capital
of
$11,385,035. On January 4, 2008, we paid $6,200,000 of the current cash
available for the purchase of assets acquired from FineTech.
As
of
March 31, 2008, we had current assets of $14,132,023, including cash and
equivalents of $1,081,048, accounts receivable of $2,176,346, related party
accounts receivable of $262,578, inventory of $9,658,516 and other current
assets of $953,535. As of March 31, 2008, we had current liabilities of
$12,665,156, consisting primarily of accounts payable of $9,262,073, accrued
rebates of $900,179, accrued expenses of $749,765, and accounts payable to
former preferred shareholders of $1,291,769 (due after December 31, 2008).
As a
result, at March 31, 2008, we had net working capital of
$1,466,867.
Net
cash
used in operating activities was $13,366,194 and $3,679,005 for the twelve
months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in net
cash used in operating activities for the twelve months ended December 31,
2007
was due to the decrease in sales due to the divestiture of two product lines
in
anticipation of the launch of generic Sevoflurane, which received FDA approval
on May 2, 2007. Also using cash in 2007 and in 2006 were increased levels
of selling, research and development and general and administrative expenses,
also discussed above. We also experienced a growth in our inventory balances
during the 2007 due to increased inventory of generic Sevoflurane. Other
assets
increased during this twelve month period by $622,667 primarily due to increase
in deposits on a building lease. We also reduced accounts payable by $514,760
during the twelve months ended December 31, 2007. On January 4, 2008, we
paid $6,200,000 of the current cash available for the purchase of assets
acquired from FineTech.
Net
cash used in operating activities was $2,006,853
and $3,677,981 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
The decrease in net cash used in operating activities in the first three
months
of the current year resulted from increased reliance on our suppliers (increase
in accounts payable), which was partially offset by an increase in inventory
and
accounts receivables.
Net
cash
used in investing activities was $1,847,239 and $300,302 for the twelve months
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash used in investing
activities consisted of purchases of property and equipment, including new
corporate office and warehouse facilities, and new furniture, computer equipment
and software related to the implementation of new technology and the increase
in
number of employees needed to launch Sevoflurane.
Net
cash used in investing activities was $6,949,893
and $167,283 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash used in investing activities consisted of purchases of assets through
our
subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical, Ltd. on January 4, 2008.
We
have
funded our operating losses primarily from proceeds from the sale of our
common
stock and proceeds from the issuance of convertible debentures and notes
payable
to related parties.
Net
cash
provided by financing activities was $22,923,873 for the twelve months ended
December 31, 2007, comprised of $15,714,161 from the sale of common stock
subscribed as part of private placement stock offerings and $10,500,000 from
proceeds of the Convertible Note, partially offset by net reductions in debt
of
$898,717, distributions to former preferred stockholders of $600,000, and
the
payment of stock issuance costs of $1,764,326. By comparison, net cash provided
by financing activities was $4,751,966 for the twelve months ended December
31,
2006, comprised of $4,201,370 from the sale of common stock, and a net increase
in debt of $1,147,000, partially offset by reductions of debt of
$573,549.
Net
cash used in financing activities was
$75,790 and $2,143,228 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, comprised mostly of a cash payment for related to a severance
agreement.
On
June
24, 2003, we issued a promissory note to William J. Marciniak, which was
subsequently amended pursuant to a Letter Agreement, dated February 16, 2004.
Following the closing of our reverse merger on July 13, 2007, this promissory
note was cancelled in full in exchange for our payment of approximately $515,171
and the issuance of 429,310 shares of our common stock.
On
July
13, 2007, immediately following the closing of our reverse merger, we raised
$10,703,092 of equity capital and converted $1,899,273 of convertible debentures
through the issuance of 21,003,959 units in a private placement, consisting
of
an aggregate of (i) 21,003,959 shares of our common stock and (ii) two-year
warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,501,976 shares of our common stock
at an
exercise price of $0.85 per share, at $0.60 per unit. These warrants became
exercisable, and their two-year term began, upon stockholder approval of
the
amendment to our articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized
shares of our common stock on October 23, 2007.
On
December 31, 2007, we issued the Convertible Note, certain terms of which
were
amended by letter agreement, dated January 18, 2008, in the aggregate principal
amount of $10,500,000. The Convertible Note matures on December 31, 2009,
which
date may be extended at the option of the noteholder as described below.
The
entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding fees or interest
are
due and payable in full on the maturity date. The Convertible Note bears
interest at the rate of 9.50% per annum, which rate may be increased to 15%
upon
the occurrence of an event of default, as described below. Interest on the
Convertible Note is payable quarterly beginning on April 1, 2008.
The
maturity date with respect to all or any portion of the amounts due under
the
Convertible Note may be extended at the option of the noteholder (i) for
so long
as an event of default is continuing or for so long as an event is continuing
that if not cured and with the passage of time would result in an event of
default, (ii) in connection with a change of control, to a date within ten
days
after the change in control and (iii) for up to two years after the original
maturity date.
Conversion
The
Convertible Note
is
convertible at the option of the noteholder into shares of our common stock.
The
initial conversion price was $1.1262 per share, subject to adjustment
for stock splits, combinations or similar events. The conversion price is
also
subject to a “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment which, in the event that we
issue or are deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than
the
then applicable conversion price, immediately reduces the conversion price
to
equal the price at which we issued or are deemed to have issued common
stock.
Under
the
terms of the Convertible Note if we failed as of March 31, 2008 or fail in
the
future to record consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Convertible Note,
of at
least (i) ($1,000,000) for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, (ii)
$0.00
for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008, (iii) $1,000,000 for the fiscal
quarter ending September 30, 2008, (iv) $2,000,000 for the fiscal quarter
ending
December 31, 2008 and (v) $2,000,000 for each fiscal quarter thereafter,
the
conversion price shall be reset to the lower of (i) the then current conversion
price or (ii) 85% of the average market price as defined in the Note, of
the
common stock at such time. As a result of the failure to satisfy the required
EBITDA threshold as of March 31, 2008, the conversion price of the Converitible
Note has been reset to a price of $0.2177 per share. Under the terms of the
Note, the reset price is determined using a formula which includes a seven
trading day measurement period which commenced on May 19, 2008 and ended
June 2,
2008.
In
accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-27 Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5
to
Certain Convertible Instruments, ("EITF 00-27"), the Company recorded
a non-cash
charge of $3,755,678 to loss on note conversion and an increase in the
debt
discount of $55,848 for the period ended March 31, 2008. The non-cash
charge
measures the difference between the relative fair value of the Note with
a
conversion price of
$1.1262
and a new conversion price of $0.2177. For our unaudited
financial statements included in our Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008 and in the unaudited financial statements appearing
as part
of this prospectus, we had estimated the conversion price to be
$0.24.
As
such,
the Company revalued the convertible debenture based on the amended terms
of the
Convertible Note. Accordingly, $55,848 was allocated to Debt Discount,
$3,755,678 to Loss on Note Conversion Rate Change, and $3,811,526 was allocated
to the equity component of the Note.
The
Convertible Note contains certain limitations on conversion. For example,
it
provides that no conversion may be made if, after giving effect to the
conversion, the noteholder would own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of our common stock. This percentage may, however, be raised or lowered
to an amount not to exceed 9.99%, at the option of the noteholder, upon 61-days’
prior notice to us.
The
Convertible Note imposes penalties on us for any failure to timely deliver
any
shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion.
Events
of Default
The
Convertible Note contains standard events of default, as well as the
following:
|
·
|
The
failure of any registration statement registering for resale the
common

the
noteholder’s security interest in our assets or if the enforceability or
validity of any material provision of such security documents are
contested by us.
|
|
·
|
The
failure of the security documents to perfect or maintain the noteholder’s
first priority security interest.
|
|

|
If
there
is an event of default, the noteholder may force us to redeem all or any
portion
of the Convertible Note, at the greater of (i) up to 125% of the sum of the
outstanding principal, interest and late fees, depending on the nature of
the
default or (ii) the product of (a) the number of shares into which the Note,
including all principal, interest and late fees, may be converted and (b)
the
product of (1) 150% and (2) the highest closing sale price of our common
stock beginning on the date immediately preceding the event of default and
ending on the date the noteholder delivers its redemption notice for such
event
of default. The failure to satisfy any EBITDA standard described above is
not an
event of default.

Transactions
The
Convertible Note prohibits us from entering into certain transactions involving
a change of control, unless the successor entity is a public company and
it
assumes in writing all of our obligations under the Note and the other
transaction documents.
In
the
event of such a transaction, the noteholder has the right to force redemption
of
the Convertible Note, at the greater of (i) 150% of the sum of the amount
of
principal, interest and late fees to be redeemed and (ii) the product of
(x) 150% and (y) the product of (1) the sum of the amount of principal, interest
and late fees to be redeemed and (2) the quotient determined by dividing
(A) the
value of the consideration paid per share of common stock in the change of
control transaction by (B) the conversion price.
Redemption
At
any
time on or after September 30, 2008, the noteholder may require us to
redeem up to 50% of the original principal amount of the Convertible Note
at a
price equal to 120% of the amount of principal to be redeemed plus all accrued
but unpaid interest and late fees.
At
any
time, provided there is not an event of default, we may redeem (i) the first
50%
of the Convertible Note for 120% of the sum of the amount of principal, interest
and late fees to be redeemed and (ii) the remaining 50% of the Note for the
sum
of (A) 100% of the sum of the amount of principal, interest and late fees
to be
redeemed and (B) the amount of interest that, but for such redemption, would
have been paid to the noteholder from the issuance date through the maturity
date of the Note.
Covenants
The
Convertible Note contains standard covenants, as well as the
following:
|
·
|
The
Note will rank senior to all other indebtedness.
|
|
·
|
We
will at all times reserve a number of shares equal to 130% of the
number
of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Note.
|
|
·
|
We
will not incur other indebtedness, except for certain permitted
indebtedness.
|
|
·
|
We
will not incur any liens, except for certain permitted
liens.
|
|
·
|
We
will not, directly or indirectly, redeem or repay all or any portion
of
any permitted indebtedness if at the time such payment is due or
is made
or, after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting,
or that
with the passage of time and without being cured would constitute,
an
event of default has occurred and is continuing.
|
|
·
|
Except
for the redemption of 350,000 shares of our common stock within
50 days
following December 31, 2008 at a purchase price of $4.00 per share,
we
will not redeem, repurchase or pay any dividend or distribution
on our
common stock or any other capital stock.
|
|
·
|
From
and after December 31, 2008, we will maintain a consolidated total
debt to
consolidated EBITDA ratio, each as defined in the Note, equal to
or less
than (i) 3.5 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007, (ii)
3.5 for
the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, (iii) 3.5 for the fiscal
quarter
ending June 30, 2008, (iv) 3.5 for the fiscal quarter ending September
30,
2008, (v) 3.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2008 and
(v) 3.0
for each fiscal quarter thereafter.
|
Participation
Rights
Any
holder of the Convertible Note is entitled to receive any dividends paid
or
distributions made to the holders of our common stock on an “as if converted” to
common stock basis.
Purchase
Rights
If
we
issue options, convertible securities, warrants or similar securities to
holders
of our common stock, any holder of the Convertible Note will have the right
to
acquire the same as if it had converted the Note.
Amendment
of Convertible Note
On
January 18, 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with the selling
stockholder, pursuant to which we amended certain terms of the Convertible
Note
and the Series A Warrant and Series B issued by us to the selling stockholder
on
December 31, 2007. Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Consolidated EBITDA
(as
defined in the Convertible Note) thresholds contained in the Convertible
Note
for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008 were lowered by $500,000 and
the
value of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued to
consultants during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008 was added to
our
Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarter. In addition, the definition
of
“Excluded Securities” with respect to anti-dilution price protection in both the
Convertible Note and the Series A Warrant and Series B Warrant was expanded
to
include the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock that may be
issued to consultants during the fiscal quarter ending March 31,
2008.
Going
Concern Uncertainty
Our
financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as
a
going concern. We have incurred losses since inception and may continue to
incur
losses for the foreseeable future. As a result, the report of our independent
registered public accounting firm on our audited financial statements for
the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 contains a paragraph regarding the
uncertainty of us continuing as a going concern. Our business plan anticipates
that our near future activities will be funded from the issuance of additional
equity and funds provided by ongoing operations.
Immediately
following the Merger, the Company raised $10,703,092 of equity capital
and
converted $1,899,273 of convertible debentures through the issuance
of 21,003,959 units in a private placement. In addition, the Company
received proceeds of $10,500,000 from a senior secured convertible note
on
December 31, 2007. As of March 31, 2008, the Company currently had cash
and cash
equivalents of $1,081,048.
If
sales
are insufficient to support planned development of new products and expansion
of
operations, we will need to raise money through the issuance of equity or
debt.
If public or private financing is not available when needed or is not available
on terms acceptable to us, our growth and revenue-generating plans may be
materially impaired. Such results could have a material adverse effect on
our
financial condition, results of operations and future prospects. The condensed
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from
the
outcome of these uncertainties.
Critical
Accounting Estimates and Policies
Cash
and Cash Equivalents.
Cash and
cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less.
Accounts
Receivable.
We
record our accounts receivable at the original invoice amount less an allowance
for doubtful accounts and less any applicable difference between the wholesale
acquisition cost price and the negotiated contract price (rebate amount).
We
also adjust the receivable amount for a discount allowance for timely payments.
An account receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the
receivable balance is outstanding beyond its scheduled due date. On a quarterly
basis, we evaluate our accounts receivable and establish an allowance for
doubtful accounts, based on our history of past write-offs and collections,
and
current credit conditions. No interest is accrued on past due accounts
receivable. Payment discounts are recorded against sales at the end of each
period to the extent they remain eligible against the corresponding receivable.
Customers are given payment discounts of between 2% and 3% for making payments
within a range of 30 to 45 days.
Inventories.
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market.
A
reserve for slow-moving and obsolete inventory is established for all inventory
deemed potentially non-saleable by management in the period in which it is
determined to be potentially non-saleable. The current inventory is considered
properly valued and saleable. We concluded that there was no need for a reserve
for slow moving and obsolete inventory at December 31, 2007 or at December
31, 2006.
We
concluded that there was no need for a reserve for slow moving and obsolete
inventory at March 31, 2008.
Property
and
Equipment.
Property
and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures
related to repairs and maintenance that are not capital in nature are expensed
in the period incurred. Appropriate gains and or losses related to the
disposition of property and equipment are realized in the period in which
such
assets are disposed. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method
over the following estimated useful lives:

Revenue
Recognition.
We
recognize revenue from product sales when the goods are received by the
customer, resulting in the transfer of title and risk of loss. We sell our
products to some wholesalers at the wholesale acquisition cost price and
to some
wholesalers at a negotiated contract price. Upon sale to wholesalers who
operate
based on the WAC price, the wholesale acquisition cost price less an allowance
for the difference between the wholesale acquisition cost price and the contract
price (rebate amount), is recorded based on the maximum calculated rebate
amount
which is treated as a sales revenue offset. Upon sale of our product by the
wholesaler using the wholesale acquisition cost price, we are invoiced for
the
difference between the wholesale acquisition cost and the contract price
and
create a credit note for the difference. The credit notes are then reconciled
with the sales revenue offset. Sales at negotiated contract prices, as opposed
to wholesale acquisition costs, are recognized at the negotiated contract
price.
FineTech
Pharmaceutical, Ltd. generates its revenues mainly from sales of chemical
compounds for the use in the manufacturing of pharmaceutical products and
from
granting an exclusive right of supply. Revenues from chemical compounds
are
recognized upon delivery in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
104
"Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 104"), when persuasive evidence of an agreement
exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or determinable
and collectibility is probable. The Company does not have any significant
obligations after delivery. Amounts received from granting exclusive rights
to
the manufacturing and production outputs are recognized throughout the
terms
period. The Company also generates revenues from sales of professional
services
including consulting. Service revenues are recognized as work is
performed.
Earnings
Per Share
.
We have
adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“FAS”) No.
128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by
dividing income or loss (numerator) applicable to common stockholders by
the
weighted number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period.
Diluted earnings per share assumes the exercise or conversion of all dilutive
securities.
Share
Based Payments.
We use
the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the fair value of our stock
options and warrants. The model requires various judgment in assumptions
including estimated stock price volatility, forfeiture rates and expected
life.
Prior to our reverse merger on July 13, 2007, we were privately held and
did not
have an internal or external market for our shares and therefore we did not
have
sufficient information available to support an estimate of our stock’s expected
volatility and share prices. In accordance with FAS 123(R), we identified
a
similar public entity for which sufficient share price information was available
and used that information for estimating our expected volatility. Our
calculations of the fair market value of each stock-based award that was
granted, modified or calculated used the following assumptions:

Research
and Development Costs
.
All
costs related to research and development are expensed as incurred. These
costs
include labor and other operating expenses related to product development,
as
well as costs to obtain regulatory approval.
Advertising.
We
expense advertising as incurred.
Accounting
Estimates
.
The
process of preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires the use of estimates and
assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, sales, and expenses.
Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of
the
date of the financial statements. Accordingly, actual results may differ
from
estimated amounts.
Concentration
of Credit Risk
.
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit
risk consist of cash accounts in financial institutions. Although the cash
accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount, we do not anticipate
nonperformance by the financial institutions.
Shipping
and Handling
.
We
record shipping and handling expenses in the period in which they are incurred
and are included in the cost of goods sold.
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements.
We do
not have any off-balance sheets arrangements as of December 31, 2007 or March
31, 2008.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
In
September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on
Issue No. 05-8, “Income Tax Consequences of Issuing Convertible Debt with a
Beneficial Conversion Feature.” Under EITF 05-8, the issuance of convertible
debt with a beneficial conversion feature results in a temporary difference
for
purposes of applying Statement 109. The deferred taxes recognized for the
temporary difference should be recorded as an adjustment to paid-in capital.
EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion
Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” and EITF 00-27
“Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” require that
the non-detachable conversion feature of a convertible debt security be
accounted for separately if it is a beneficial conversion feature. A beneficial
conversion feature is recognized and measured by allocating to additional
paid-in capital a portion of the proceeds equal to the conversion feature’s
intrinsic value. A discount on the convertible debt is recognized for the
amount
that is allocated to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount is accreted
from the date of issuance to the stated redemption date of the convertible
instrument or through the earliest conversion date if the instrument does
not
have a stated redemption date. The U.S. Federal Income Tax Code includes
the
entire amount of proceeds received at issuance as the tax basis of the
convertible debt security. The EITF 05-8 Consensus should be applied
retrospectively to all instruments with a beneficial conversion feature
accounted for under EITF 98-5 and EITF 00-27 for periods beginning after
December 15, 2005. The adoption of EITF 05-8 did not have a material impact
on
our financial statements.
In
May
2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 154,
“Accounting Changes and Error Corrections” (“SFAS 154”), which replaces APB
Opinion No. 20, “ Accounting Changes” and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting
Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 retained accounting guidance
related to changes in estimates, changes in a reporting entity and error
corrections. However, changes in accounting principles must be accounted
for
retrospectively by modifying the financial statements of prior periods unless
it
is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes made
in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154
did not
have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or
cash
flows.
In
December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “ Share-Based
Payment” (“SFAS No. 123R”), which revises and replaces SFAS No. 123, “Accounting
for Stock-Based Payments” and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for
Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). SFAS 123R requires the measurement of all
share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options,
using a fair-value based method and the recording of such expense in its
statements of operations. The pro forma disclosures previously permitted
under
SFAS No. 123 will no longer be an alternative to financial statement
recognition. The provisions for SFAS No. 123R are effective for the first
interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. We have
adopted SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 123R
impacted our financial position in 2006 by reducing Net Income by approximately
$1 million.
In
June
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in
Income Taxes
–
an interpretation
of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for
uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing 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. The interpretation
also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and
penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure. FIN 48 is effective
January 1, 2007. We adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, and the provisions
of FIN
48 were applied to all tax positions upon initial adoption of this standard.
There was no financial statement impact of adopting FIN 48.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business
Combinations”. This statement replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and
applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the acquirer)
obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquiree), including those
sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations
achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a. recognizes and measures
in
its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b. recognizes and
measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from
a
bargain purchase; and c. determines what information to disclose to enable
users
of the financials statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the
business combination. This statement will be effective for fiscal years,
and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15,
2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The future application of this
pronouncement may have a material effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements”. This statement applies to all entities that
prepare consolidated financial statements, except not-for-profit organizations,
and amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a
subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51’s consolidation procedures for
consistency with the requirements of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007). This statement
will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited.
The future application of this pronouncement may have a material effect on
our
financial condition and results of operations.
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”).
SFAS No. 159 permits companies to elect to follow fair value
accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities in an effort to
mitigate
volatility in earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. The standard also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities.
SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the
adoption of SFAS No. 159, if any, on our financial position, results
of operations and cash flows.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations
and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. These new
standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting of
business
combinations and non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated financial
statements. Statement Nos. 141(R) and 160 are required to be adopted
simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period
beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We are
currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS Nos. 141(R) and
SFAS 160 on our consolidated financial statements.
In
June
2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified EITF Issue
No. 07-3, which clarifies the method and timing for recognition of
nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services to be used or rendered
in
future research and development activities pursuant to an executory contractual
arrangement. In particular, it addresses whether nonrefundable advance
payments
for goods or services that will be used or rendered for research and
development
activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or when
the
research and development activity has been performed. The consensus in
this
Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Earlier application is not permitted. The Company does not expect the
adoption
of this Issue to have a material impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
Other
recently issued FASB Statements or Interpretations, Securities and Exchange
Commission, or SEC, Staff Accounting Bulletins, and AICPA Emerging Issue
Task
Force Consensuses have either been implemented or are not applicable
to the
Company
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 158, “Employers’ Accounting
for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans”. This new standard
will require employers to fully recognize the obligations associated with
single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare and other
postretirement plans in their financial statements. We adopted SFAS No. 158
on
December 31, 2007, and do not believe the adoption of the new accounting
standard will result in a material impact on our consolidated financial
statements since we currently do not sponsor the defined benefit pension
or
postretirement plans within the scope of the standard.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS
157”), which provides guidance on how to measure assets and liabilities that
use
fair value. SFAS 157 will apply whenever another U.S. GAAP standard requires
(or
permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not
expand
the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard will also require
additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 will
be
effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS 157 is not expected to have a material
impact on our results of operations or financial position.
In
March
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial
Assets.” This statement amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing
of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, a replacement of
FASB
Statement 125”, or SFAS 140, regarding (1) the circumstances under which a
servicing asset or servicing liability must be recognized, (2) the initial
and
subsequent measurement of recognized servicing assets and liabilities, and
(3)
information required to be disclosed relating to servicing assets and
liabilities. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2007, with no impact
on our
consolidated financial statements.
In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid
Financial Instruments”, or SFAS 155. This statement amends SFAS No. 133,
“Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, to narrow the
scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips on debt instruments
to include only such strips representing rights to receive a specified portion
of the contractual interest or principal cash flows. SFAS 155 also amends
SFAS
140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to hold a passive derivative
financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests that itself is a
derivative financial instrument. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2007,
with no impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In
June
2006, the FASB ratified EITF, No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and
Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement
(That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”. EITF No. 06-3 requires that, for
interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2006,
companies disclose their policy related to the presentation of sales taxes
and
similar assessments related to their revenue transactions. We present revenue
net of sales taxes and any similar assessments. EITF No. 06-3 had no effect
on
our financial position and results of operations.
EITF
No.
07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services
Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities”, was issued in
June 2007. The EITF reached a consensus that nonrefundable payments for goods
and services that will be used or rendered for future research and development
activities should be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts should be recognized
as an expense as the related goods are delivered and the related services
are
performed. Entities should continue to evaluate whether they expect the goods
to
be delivered or services to be rendered. If the entity does not expect the
goods
to be delivered or services to be rendered, the capitalized advance payment
should be charged to expense. This pronouncement is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007 (our
fiscal
year beginning January 1, 2008) and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Earlier application is not permitted. Entities are required to report the
effects of applying this pronouncement prospectively for new contracts entered
into on or after the effective date of this pronouncement. The future
application of this pronouncement may have a material effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.
BUSINESS
The
Merger and Related Transactions
We
were
organized as a limited liability company in the state of Delaware in November
2001 under the name Southridge Technology Group, LLC. On August 24, 2005, we
were converted into a Delaware corporation and changed our name from Southridge
Technology Group, LLC to Southridge Technology Group, Inc. Prior to July 13,
2007, we provided customized computing and communications services and solutions
for small to medium-sized businesses.
On
July
13, 2007, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger and reorganization
with RxElite Acquisition Corp., our wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary, and
RxElite Holdings Inc. On that date, RxElite Acquisition Corp. merged with and
into RxElite Holdings Inc., with RxElite Holdings Inc. remaining as the
surviving corporation and our wholly-owned subsidiary.
At
the
closing of this merger, each share of RxElite Holdings Inc.’s common was
converted into the right to receive 0.090606 of one share of our common stock,
and each option and warrant to purchase RxElite Holdings Inc.’s common stock was
converted on the same basis into, respectively, an option or, in the case of
consenting warrant holders, warrants to purchase our common stock. An aggregate
of 4,145,806 shares of our common stock were issued to the holders of RxElite
Holdings Inc.’s common stock, and an aggregate of 224,961 and 683,702 shares of
our common stock were reserved for issuance under such RxElite Holdings Inc.
options and warrants, respectively.
Immediately
following the closing of the merger, under the terms of an agreement of
conveyance, transfer and assignment of assets and assumption of obligations,
dated as of July 13, 2007, by and among us, Joseph M. Garzi and Sunodia Partners
LP, formerly our majority stockholders, we transferred all of our pre-merger
operating assets and liabilities to our wholly-owned subsidiary, STG Holdings,
Inc., a Delaware corporation. Thereafter, pursuant to a stock purchase
agreement, dated as of July 13, 2007, by and between us and STG Holdings, Inc.,
we transferred all of the outstanding capital stock of STG Holdings, Inc. to
Joseph M. Garzi and Sunodia Partners LP in exchange for cancellation of
9,050,000 shares of our common stock held by such stockholders, which left
1,495,000 shares of our common stock held by our existing
stockholders.
Immediately
following the closing of the merger and the effectuation of the divestiture
of
our pre-merger operating assets and liabilities, we raised $10,703,092 of equity
capital and converted $1,899,273 of convertible debentures through the issuance
of 1,903,086 units in a private placement, consisting of an aggregate of (i)
1,903,086 shares of our common stock and (ii) two-year warrants to purchase
an
aggregate of an additional 951,542 shares of our common stock, commencing on
October 29, 2007, at an exercise price of $9.381271 per whole share, at
$6.622073 per unit.
Immediately

Company
Overview
We
develop, contract for the manufacture, and market generic prescription drug
products in specialty generic markets. Our business strategy focuses on three
key tenets: (1) serve specialty generic segments; (2) employ low cost
manufacturing; and (3) deliver unparalleled customer service defined by
consistent supply and a high level of service. Our marketed and pipeline
products are in specialty markets characterized by limited competition, barriers
to entry, and good margin opportunities. These markets include products in
the
areas of anesthesia, sterile liquid dose drugs (which includes ophthalmic
products, sterile inhalation respiratory products, and injectable drugs), and
APIs. Barriers to entry in these specialty markets include limited industry
capacity, patented manufacturing processes, difficult formulations, and limited
sources of APIs.
On
January 4, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical, entered
into an asset purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets
of
FineTech for an aggregate purchase price of $6,200,000.
At
present, we have a portfolio of pipeline and marketed specialty products
classified into three identifiable business segments: (1) anesthetic gases;
(2)
sterile liquid dose products; and (3) APIs. In addition, we have one ANDA
pending review at the FDA pursuant to our agreement with Alkem Laboratories
Limited, and we own three other ANDAs that are dormant and are not actively
marketed. Our customers include hospitals and hospital group purchasing
organizations, national and regional wholesalers, direct retail pharmacy
stocking chains, leading homecare companies, and outpatient surgery centers
and
ambulatory care clinics.
Anesthetic
Gases.
We
currently market three anesthetic gases, Enflurane, Isoflurane, and Sevoflurane
pursuant to a mutually exclusive manufacturing and distribution agreement with
Minrad International, Inc. In addition to Enflurane, Isoflurane, and
Sevoflurane, our agreement with Minrad International, Inc. grants us the right
to market and sell Desflurane once it becomes available as a generic drug in
the
U.S. market. Assuming we meet the volume milestones in our agreement with Minrad
International, Inc., we will be able to renew that agreement past December
31,
2008 and remain the exclusive distributor to Minrad International, Inc. of
Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane and, upon approval, Desflurane in the
U.S.
We
began
purchasing human inhalation anesthetics under our agreement with Minrad
International, Inc. on September 30, 2004. On April 14, 2005, we and Minrad
International, Inc. amended this agreement in order for us to receive the
non-exclusive right to purchase Isoflurane, for distribution for veterinary
uses
in the U.S. market. The amendment also gives us the exclusive right to purchase
for distribution to end-users other generic inhalation anesthetic products
that
Minrad International, Inc. expects to make in the future, including Desflurane,
for human use, when they become available. Terms of our original agreement
with
Minrad International, Inc. provide us with the exclusive right to distribute
Sevoflurane, Isoflurane and Enflurane for human use under our own
label.
The
current term of our agreement with Minrad International, Inc. ends on December
31, 2008, and we may renew it for successive one-year terms provided we meet
certain requirements. Minrad International, Inc. may only terminate this
agreement under limited circumstances, such as if we fail to meet minimum annual
purchase commitments or fail to pay any amount we owe to Minrad International,
Inc. This agreement also provides that if we or Minrad International, Inc.
recall any of the products distributed by us because the products are believed
to violate a provision of applicable law, Minrad International, Inc. will bear
the costs of the recall.
In
connection with the execution of our agreement with Minrad International, Inc.,
we entered into an Advisory Consulting Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2003,
with
PowerOne Capital Corp. pursuant to which we agreed to pay to PowerOne Capital
Corp. a royalty on the gross revenues of any product developed and marketed
under our agreement with Minrad International, Inc. The amount of the royalties
per product is 1% for the first year of distribution and marketing, 2% for
the
second year, 3% for the third year, 3% for the fourth year and 3% for the fifth
year. After the fifth year, no further royalties accrue. This royalty provision
survived the termination of the agreement, which otherwise expired as of June
1,
2005, and is a continuing obligation so long as Minrad International, Inc.
manufactures our products.
Enflurane
and Isoflurane are marketed to U.S. hospitals and hospital group purchasing
organizations. We estimate that the U.S. markets for Enflurane and Isoflurane
are approximately $1 million and $10 million, respectively.
On
May 2,
2007, Minrad International, Inc. received FDA approval for its generic
Sevoflurane product. This approval allows us to immediately launch generic
Sevoflurane in the U.S. market. We estimate that the U.S. market for Sevoflurane
is approximately $400 million.
Minrad
International, Inc. currently plans to file an ANDA with the FDA Center for
Drug
Evaluation and Research, Office of Generic Drugs for Desflurane in 2008. We
estimate that the U.S. market for Desflurane is approximately $200 million.
Upon
U.S. FDA approval of the Desflurane ANDA application, we intend to move rapidly
to market the product in the U.S. market.
We
do not
have the right under our agreement with Minrad International, Inc. to market
and
distribute any of Enflurane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane or Desflurane outside
the
U.S.
Sterile
Liquid Dose Products.
The
market for sterile liquid dose products is diverse and varies in size depending
on the specific features of the drug being marketed. Our sterile liquid dose
product pipeline includes generic ophthalmic products in unit and multi-dose
presentations, sterile unit dose inhalation respiratory products and injectable
drugs. Unit dose products are pre-measured dosages of drugs that have the
advantage of being convenient to use while reducing the risk of dosage error,
medication waste, and cross-contamination. We currently have eight sterile
liquid dose ANDAs in various stages of development although none have been
submitted for review at the FDA. We plan to file ANDAs on a regular basis and
compete by marketing prescription generic equivalents.
In
August
2006, we made a strategic decision to divest our respiratory business to focus
our corporate resources on growing our more profitable anesthetic gas franchise,
including the preparation for the launch of generic Sevoflurane. The divestiture
of our respiratory business significantly reduced our sales and business
volumes, but also enabled us to retire approximately $15.9 million of long
term
debt. Prior to the divestiture, over the past six years, we had become a leading
supplier of unit dose sterile respiratory inhalation drugs, Albuterol 0.083%
and
Ipratropium 0.02%, manufactured using advanced aseptic blow-fill-seal (BFS)
technology. Our distribution strength and service levels made us a primary
vendor for these products at a significant majority of the top 50 U.S. generic
buyers that accounted for over 80% of all U.S. generic drug purchases. In doing
so, we had attained a leading market share position in the unit dose sterile
respiratory inhalation drug market ahead of larger competitors in the industry.
Since
the
divestiture of our respiratory business, we have not marketed any sterile liquid
dose products, but are in the process of developing such products.
Manufacturing.
We have
pursued a contract manufacturing strategy to date, and prior to our recent
divestiture, our sterile liquid products were manufactured at several sterile
liquid products contract manufacturing sites. Our anesthetic gas products are
manufactured by Minrad International, Inc. and any products developed or
marketed pursuant to our agreements with Stason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Alkem
Laboratories Limited will be manufactured in Asia.
Through
our acquisition of the assets of FineTech in January 2008, our wholly-owned
subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical manufactures complex, low volume, high
value
APIs in its facility in Haifa, Israel. These APIs are developed for production
and sale by FineTech Pharmaceutical, as well as on a contract basis for leading
pharmaceutical companies in the U.S., Europe and Asia.
In
the
future, we expect to develop internal capabilities for sterile liquids
manufacturing and ANDA development. The manufacture of high volume sterile
liquid products requires a state-of-the-art facility, equipment and testing
controls, as well as expertise. We believe the development of these internal
capabilities will further improve our competitive position in the sterile liquid
products market.
Sales
and Marketing.
Since
all of our finished dose products (all products except for our APIs) are
non-proprietary and generic in nature, we rely on our efforts in marketing,
distribution, low manufacturing and operating costs, and high service levels
to
capture, maintain, and increase market share. To this end, we employ a
three-tiered sales effort.
For
our
generic pharmaceutical products that are sold to U.S. generic drug buyers (who,
in the aggregate, represent a significant majority of U.S. generic drug
purchases), such as McKesson Corporation, Cardinal Health Inc., Amerisource
Bergen, Wal-Mart and Walgreens Co., we employ a national accounts approach
with
a team of experienced retail national accounts representatives that sell and
provide service to national wholesalers, regional wholesalers, direct retail
pharmacy stocking chains and leading homecare companies.
For
our
hospital focused products, such as our portfolio of anesthetic gas products,
we
focus on contacting and servicing hospital group purchasing organizations such
as Premier Purchasing Partners, L.P., Purchasing Alliance for Clinical
Therapeutics LLC, Broadlane DSH, MedAssets, Inc., Health Trust Purchasing Group
and Consorta, Inc. and integrated hospital delivery networks such as Catholic
Health Initiatives, Centura Health, HCA Inc., Trinity Health, Holy Cross Health
Systems, Provena Health, Catholic Health East and Ascension Health, Inc. at
the
national accounts level. In addition to providing national accounts focus,
we
are also building a national hospital focused sales force as a part of the
launch of Sevoflurane and for future hospital products.
An
in-house telemarketing sales team supports the direct selling efforts in retail
and hospital national accounts, and also sells directly to outpatient and
ambulatory clinics and small rural hospitals.
Our
API
products produced in our Haifa, Israel facility are marketed and sold through
direct contact with leading pharmaceutical companies worldwide, and through
participation in major international chemical and pharmaceutical
conferences.
To
date,
this approach has provided us with the ability to capture a market share in
excess of 10% within 12 months for each of our product launches, but there
can
be no assurance that this level of market penetration can be attained for future
products.
Research
and Product Development.
We are
planning to aggressively expand our product line by pursuing new product
development through a combination of contract development services, sponsored
research, partnership development and the acquisition or in-licensing of
products developed by others.
We
currently have 11 ANDAs for generic pharmaceuticals in various stages of
development, including eight sterile liquid dosage form products, three of
which
we are working with partners. We plan to continue to file ANDAs on a regular
basis as pharmaceutical products come off patent allowing us to compete by
marketing prescription generic equivalents. To date, we have successfully
employed our contract development services approach to obtain ANDA approvals
for
Albuterol 0.083% in 2005 and Ipratropium 0.02% in 2006. In addition, along
with
our plans to develop sterile liquids manufacturing capabilities internally,
we
intend to develop internal formulation and capabilities for our sterile liquids
pipeline products. Clinical trials and bioequivalent studies required in
connection with the development of certain specialty generic products are
performed by contract research organizations under the direction of our
personnel. Generally, for sterile liquid dose products, bioequivalency testing
is not required in connection with seeking approval from the FDA through the
ANDA process.
At
present, FineTech Pharmaceutical has a pipeline of five complex APIs being
developed internally at its Haifa, Israel manufacturing facility. We currently
plan to expand this pipeline as we are able to identify complex, low volume,
high value APIs that are coming off patent in the next five years and have
a
limited number of competitors.
We
also
maintain a business development program that identifies potential product
acquisition or product licensing candidates. In this regard, we focus our
business development in two directions. First, we focus on niche products that
complement our existing product lines and distribution channels, and that have
limited competitors in the market. Alternatively, we focus on leveraging our
commercial platform by partnering with low cost partners, to match their low
cost manufacturing capabilities with our distribution strength in the U.S.
to
launch new products into the U.S. market.
In
addition to our internal pipeline, we also have corporate partnerships with
Stason Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Alkem Laboratories Limited, each of which
is a
significant Asian generic pharmaceutical company and Zach Systems S.p.A., a
European pharmaceutical company. The agreements are for the development, testing
and manufacture of a portfolio of products to be launched by us exclusively
in
the U.S. market. Pursuant to our agreements with Alkem Laboratories Limited
and
Stason Pharmaceuticals, Inc., we will pay an equal share in the cost of the
development of the products. Pursuant to other defined conditions, the agreement
with Zach Systems S.p.A. includes provisions for a modification in the division
of benefits to maintain an equitable allocation between the parties. Upon
approval and launch, the products will be transferred to us at cost by Stason
Pharmaceuticals, Inc. or Alkem Laboratories Limited, as applicable, and the
profits will be shared equally. In our agreement with Zach Systems S.p.A.,
they
pay for the development costs and retain non-U.S. commercial rights to the
products developed under the agreement. We currently have one ANDA pending
for
review at the FDA related to our partnership Alkem Laboratories Limited, but
do
not currently market that product or any other products under any of our
corporate partnership agreements.
Patents,
Trademarks and Proprietary Technology
We
consider the protection of discoveries in connection with our development and
third-party manufacturing activities important to our business. We have sought,
and intend to continue to seek, patent protection in the U.S. and selected
foreign countries where we deem such protection to be appropriate.
We

employ.
The
RxElite name and corporate logo are registered trademarks.
Employee
Relations
As
of May
19, 2008, we had 43 full-time employees. We believe we enjoy good relations
with
our employees, none of whom is represented by a collective bargaining
agent.
Competition
The
marketing and manufacturing of pharmaceutical products is highly competitive,
with many established marketers, manufacturers, suppliers and distributors
actively engaged in all phases of the business. Most of our competitors have
substantially greater financial and other resources, including greater sales
volume, larger sales forces, and greater product development and internal
manufacturing capabilities and capacity, as well as greater regulatory and
scientific resources. We believe that the principal factors on which we compete
are marketing and distribution ability, product development capability, product
quality, low cost third-party product manufacturing and customer service.
However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully develop
and introduce new products in order to maintain our competitive
position.
The
companies that compete with us in the anesthetic gases segment for human use
include Abbott Laboratories, Baxter Healthcare Corporation, and Hospira, Inc.,
and for the veterinary market, we also compete with Halocarbon Products
Corporation and Rhodia.
The
companies that compete with our API business include Teva Pharmaceuticals
Industries, Ltd., Aurobindo Pharma India and several international chemical
companies.
The
companies that compete with our sterile liquid dosage products include both
generic and brand name companies such as Dey, L.P., Nephron Pharmaceuticals
Corporation, Teva, Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. and AstraZeneca plc for
inhalation products; Alcon Inc., Allergan Inc., and Bausch Lomb Inc. for
ophthalmic products; Hospira, Baxter International, Inc. and American
Pharmaceutical Products for injectable drugs.
In
all of
these segments, the basis of competition is price, service, and the reliability
of supply measured by order fulfillment and on-time deliveries. In this regard,
we have a track record of uninterrupted supply and service levels for over
seven
years.
Suppliers
and Customers
We
require a supply of quality raw materials and components to manufacture and
package pharmaceutical products for our own needs and for third parties with
which we have partnered or contracted for the manufacture of our products.
The
principal components of our products are active and inactive pharmaceutical
ingredients and certain packaging materials. Some of these components are only
available from a single source and, in the case of some of our ANDAs, only
one
supplier of raw materials has been identified. Because FDA approval of drugs
requires manufacturers to specify their proposed suppliers of active ingredients
and certain packaging materials in their applications, FDA approval of any
new
supplier would be required if active ingredients or such packaging materials
were either no longer available or are no longer economically feasible from
the
specified supplier for us to continue to be competitive in the market. The
qualification of a new supplier could delay our development and marketing
efforts. If, for any reason, we are unable to obtain sufficient quantities
of
any of the raw materials or components required to produce or package our
products, we may not be able to manufacture our products as planned, which
could
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results
of operations. Similarly, as we rely on third party manufacturers for our
products on a contracted or partnership basis, if for any reason we are unable
to obtain sufficient quantities of any finished products as planned, it would
also have a material adverse effect on our business financial condition and
results of operations. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our two
largest suppliers accounted for approximately $11 million and $5 million, or
67.3% and 32.5%, respectively, of product purchases. For the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, our two largest suppliers accounted for approximately $1.9
million and $1.1 million or 47.9% and 26.2%, respectively, of product
purchases.
We
focus
on national account drug buyers, who, in the aggregate, account for a
significant majority of all U.S. generic drug purchases. In the past, we have
been the primary vendor for our respiratory products to a significant majority
of these national accounts. They include national wholesalers such as McKesson
Corporation and Cardinal Health, Inc., regional wholesalers such as Value Drug
and Kinray, direct retail pharmacy stocking chains such as Wal-Mart Stores
Inc.,
and Walgreen Co., and leading homecare companies such as Lincare Holdings Inc.
and Apria Healthcare Group Inc.
In
the
hospital and hospital group purchasing organization segment, we are an approved
vendor and have approved vendor contracts in place with all eight major group
purchasing organizations that, in the aggregate, account for a significant
majority of all hospital drug purchases. These group purchasing organizations
include Premier Purchasing Partners, L.P., Novation, LLC, MedAssets, Inc.,
Amerinet Inc. and Consorta, Inc., among others.
The
customer base for our anesthetic gas products consists of group purchasing
organizations (46%), veterinary distributors and clinics (46%), direct sales
to
hospitals (6%) and alternate sites, such as clinics (2%).
Wholesalers
such as McKesson Corporation, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, and Cardinal
Health, Inc. distribute our products as well as a broad range of health care
products for many other companies. None of these distributors is an end user
of
our products. If sales to any one of these distributors were to diminish or
cease, we believe that the end user of our products would find little difficulty
obtaining our products either directly from us, or from another distributor.
However, the loss of one or more of these distributors, together with a delay
or
inability to secure an alternative distribution source for end users, could
have
a material negative impact on our revenue, business, financial condition and
results of operations. For all national account customers, a change in
purchasing patterns, a decrease in inventory levels, an increase in returns
of
our products, delays in purchasing products and delays in payment for products
by one of more distributors could also have a material negative impact on our
revenue, business, financial condition and results of operations.
Customers
of our API business based in Haifa Israel include major U.S. pharmaceutical
companies, and regional European and Asian pharmaceutical companies. Cabergoline
accounts for the majority of our API sales, the majority of which are to Par
Pharmaceutical Companies, Inc., a U.S. generic pharmaceutical company. We
currently believe that Par Pharmaceutical will continue to purchase Cabergoline
at the same level as the last two years. However, a reduced purchasing level
could have a material negative impact on our revenue, business, financial
condition and results of operations if we are not able to replace those sales
with another buyer in a very short time frame. The sales cycle for APIs is
usually 6-18 months. We are working to diversify our API customer base in 2008
and 2009 by offering our API products that are primarily sold in the U.S. to
non-U.S. markets that have similar regulations, product demand and numbers
of
competitors. We believe the market for our current portfolio of APIs is larger
outside of the U.S. than inside the U.S. However, there can be no assurance
that
we will be successful in our diversification efforts.
For
the
fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, our three largest customers accounted
for
approximately 35%, 15% and 7% of net sales, respectively. For the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2007, our three largest customers accounted for
approximately 22.7%, 17.6% and 13.6% of net sales respectively.
Backorders
We
have a
well-established track record for consistent supply and service. We presently
have no backorders.
Government
Regulations
Pharmaceutical
manufacturers and distributors are subject to extensive regulation by government
agencies including the FDA, the Drug Enforcement Administration, or DEA, the
Federal Trade Commission, and other federal, state, and local agencies. The
Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, or FDC Act, the Controlled Substance Act
and
other federal statues and regulations govern or influence the development,
testing, formulations, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage,
recordkeeping, approval, marketing, advertising, and promotion of products
that
we manufacture and market. The FDA inspects drug manufacturers and storage
facilities to determine compliance with its cGMP regulations, non-compliance
with which can result in fines, recall, and seizure of products, total or
partial suspension of production, refusal to approve new drug applications
and
criminal prosecution. The FDA also has the authority to revoke approval of
drug
products.
FDA
approval is required before a pharmaceutical manufacturing facility can
manufacture a pharmaceutical product to be commercialized in the U.S. and
pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities are required to operate within the
cGMP
regulation published by the FDA. New drugs require a new drug application,
or
NDA, filing including clinical studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy
of
the drug. In our case, generic drugs, which are equivalents of existing, brand
name drugs, require an ANDA filing. An ANDA does not, for the most part, require
clinical studies because the safety and efficacy of the drug have already been
demonstrated by the product originator. However, an ANDA must provide data
demonstrating the equivalency of the generic formulation in terms of
bioavailability, that the duplicate product is properly manufactured and labeled
and is stable after manufacture. ANDA approvals typically take up to two years
to obtain from the date of initial application, although the time required
by
the FDA to review and approve NDAs and ANDAs is variable and beyond our control,
depending upon the particular drug product and dosage form involved.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the FDA will approve a particular
ANDA at all, or that the FDA will agree that an ANDA is a suitable vehicle
through which to secure approval rather than an NDA, which requires the
applicant to conduct lengthy clinical trials and to incur substantial costs
of
development prior to submission. APIs require rigorous development and testing
to prove equivalence in different markets around the world. To market an API
in
the U.S. a drug master file (“DMF”) must be filed with the FDA which meets FDA
equivalence and manufacturing guidelines. Development of a new API and obtaining
proper regulatory approval can take 2-5 years depending on the complexity of
the
API and there is no assurance that regulatory approval will ever be
obtained.
FDA
Inspections.
The FDA
routinely inspects FDA approved pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities to
ensure the facility continues to operate in compliance with cGMPs. FDA warning
letters may be issued as a consequence of violations observed during inspection.
An FDA warning letter is intended to provide notice to a company of violations
of the laws administered by the FDA and to elicit voluntary corrective action.
Until the violations identified in the warning letter are corrected, the FDA
frequently will withhold approval of any marketing applications (ANDAs, NDAs,
DMFs) submitted by us and will share the contents of the warning letter with
government agencies that may contract to purchase products from us. Failure
to
take effective corrective actions can result in FDA enforcement action such
as
monetary fines, seizure of products, or injunction that could suspend
manufacturing and compel recall of a product.
If
the
confirmatory inspection shows that corrections have been made and no significant
deviations are identified, the FDA can be expected to remove the sanctions
of
the Warning Letter and resume a routine inspection schedule.
If
the
confirmatory inspection identifies significant deviations from the established
FDA standards, the FDA may initiate enforcement action including, but not
limited to, the following: (1) maintain the warning letter sanctions and require
further corrective actions, which could include a recall of certain products;
(2) seek a court-ordered injunction which may include temporary suspension
of
some or all operations, mandatory recall of certain products, potential monetary
penalties or other sanctions; or (3) seize our products. Though we are not
currently subject to any enforcement action, any such action could significantly
impair our ability to continue to manufacture and to distribute our products,
and generate cash from our operations. Any or all of these actions would have
a
material adverse effect on our liquidity and our ability to continue as a going
concern.
Our
corporate facilities, as well as our warehousing and distribution operations
have been routinely inspected by the FDA and we have not received any 483
inspectional observation or FDA warning letters. Our contract manufacturers
have
also been routinely inspected by the FDA and have informed us that they have
no
outstanding 483 inspectional observations.
Product
Recalls
We
have
not had any product recalls to date.
Environment
We
do not
anticipate any material adverse effect from compliance with federal, state,
and
local provisions that have been enacted or adopted regulating the discharge
of
materials into the environment, or otherwise relating to the protection of
the
environment.
Properties
We
have
leased our corporate headquarters and administrative offices located at 1404
N.
Main Street, Suite 200, Meridian, Idaho since 2003. We currently lease
approximately 6,000 square feet at a monthly base rental of approximately
$9,800, which lease expires in April 2008. Upon expiration of the lease, we
currently intend to continue to lease such facilities on a month-to-month basis
while our new facilities are under construction.
We
store
and ship finished goods to all 50 states from a 48,000 square foot warehouse
and
distribution facility located in Mountain Home, Idaho. We lease such space
on a
month-to-month basis for $2,500 per month.
We
are in
the process of building a new corporate facility located in Nampa, Idaho that
will house our new office headquarters, product development laboratories and
finished goods warehouse. In the future, we hope to expand such facilities
to
add sterile liquids manufacturing capabilities, which we currently do not have,
and capacity for pipeline and future sterile liquids dose products. We currently
expect our new facility to be completed by September 2008.
We
believe that our current combined space, along with the planned space expansion,
is adequate to accommodate our office, manufacturing, and warehousing needs
for
the foreseeable future. We currently do not need sterile liquid dose products
manufacturing capabilities, but we believe such capabilities would add important
strategic value to our business, providing us with greater control over our
sterile liquid dose products, allowing us to perform our product development
internally with greater control and less cost, enabling us to pursue a broader
ANDA filing program for sterile liquid dose products, and providing us with
manufacturing cost strength to our sterile liquid dose product pipeline and
product portfolio.
Legal
Proceedings
We
are
not party to any material legal proceeding.
We
may be
party to legal proceedings and potential claims arising in the ordinary course
of business. The amount, if any, of ultimate liability with respect to such
matters cannot be determined. Despite the inherent uncertainties of litigation,
we, at this time, do not believe that such proceedings will have a material
adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flow.

Board
Committees
On
October 11, 2007, our Board of Directors formed an Audit Committee, an Executive
Committee, a Compensation Committee and a Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee. Each member of our committees is “independent” as such term is
defined under and required by the federal securities laws. Although we are
not
listed on the American Stock Exchange, our Directors whom we consider to
be
independent would qualify as such under the rules of the American Stock
Exchange. The Chairman of the Board, Mr. Peter Williams, serves as an ex-officio
member of each Committee.
Audit
Committee
.
The
Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is currently comprised of Mark
Auerbach, David Rector, Frank Leo and Peter W. Williams, each of whom is
an
independent Director. Mr. Auerbach is a qualified financial expert as defined
in
Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-B and serves as Chairman of the Audit
Committee. The Audit Committee’s duties are to recommend to our Board of
Directors the engagement of independent auditors to audit our financial
statements and to review our accounting and auditing principles. The Audit
Committee reviews the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the
results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent
public accountants, including their recommendations to improve the system
of
accounting and internal controls. The Audit Committee will at all times be
composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of our Board of
Directors, free from any relationship that would interfere with the exercise
of
independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding
of
financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.
Compensation
Committee
.
The
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is currently comprised of
Mark
Auerbach and David Rector. Mr. Rector serves as Chairman of the Compensation
Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves our salary and
benefits policies, including compensation of executive officers. The
Compensation Committee also administers our Incentive Stock Plans and recommends
and approves grants of awards under such plan. See Proposal 2.
Nominating
and Corporate Governance Committee
.
We
established a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board
of
Directors, currently comprised of Peter W. Williams and David Rector. Mr.
Williams serves as Chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee considers and
makes
recommendations on matters related to the practices, policies and procedures
of
the board and takes a leadership role in shaping our corporate governance.
As
part of its duties, the Committee assesses the size, structure and composition
of the board and board committees, coordinates evaluation of board performance
and reviews board compensation. The Committee also screens for candidates
considered for election to the board. In this capacity it concerns itself
with
the composition of the board with respect to depth of experience, balance
of
professional interests, required expertise and other factors. The Committee
evaluates prospective nominees identified on its own initiative or referred
to
it by other board members, management, stockholders or external sources and
all
self-nominated candidates. The Committee uses the same criteria for evaluating
candidates nominated by stockholders and self-nominated candidates as it
does
for those proposed by other board members, management and search companies.
Executive
Committee
.
We
established an Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, currently
comprised of Peter W. Williams and Mark Auerbach. Mr. Williams serves as
the
Chairman of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee considers and
exercises sole decision making power related to the matters that would normally
be brought before the Board of Directors when the members of the Board of
Directors are unable to be in session. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
role
of the Executive committee is limited to the making of recommendations to
the
full Board of Directors in connection with the buying or selling of stock
by the
Company, mergers and acquisitions, changes in operating budgets and the
incurrence of debt outside of the ordinary course of business.
On
February 7, 2008, our Board of Directors formed a Strategic Planning Committee.
Strategic
Planning Committee

by Mr.
Sullivan to purchase 528,007 shares of our common stock at a price
of
$0.474 per share to a price of $0.00237 per share. 132,004 shares
subject
to the warrant remained unexercised and unvested as of December
31, 2006.
We valued the adjustment to the warrant exercise price according
to
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share
Based Payments (SFAS 123R) using the Black-Scholes method. SFAS
123R
requires all stock-based awards, including employee stock options,

period in accordance with SFAS 123R. For information regarding
our
valuation of option awards, refer to Note 17 to our Consolidated
Financial
Statements.

Employee
Benefits Plans
On
July
6, 2007, RxElite Holdings Inc. adopted the RxElite Holdings Inc. 2007 Incentive
Stock Plan (the “Plan”), which was subsequently assumed by us in connection with
our July 13, 2007 reverse merger. The Plan permits the grant of the following
types of incentive awards:
|
·
|
incentive
stock options,
|
|
·
|
non-qualified
stock options,
|
|
·
|
restricted
stock, and stock appreciation
rights.
|
The
Plan
is intended to attract, motivate, and retain our employees and affiliates,
consultants, if needed to provide significant services to us and our affiliates,
and our outside directors. The Plan also is designed to encourage stock
ownership by employees, directors, and consultants, thereby aligning their
interests with those of our stockholders and to permit the payment of
compensation that qualifies as performance-based compensation under Section
162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section
162(m)”).
The
Plan
is administered by the board of directors or a committee appointed by the board
of directors. A committee generally consists of at least two directors who
qualify as “non-employee directors” under Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, and as “outside directors” under Section 162(m) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (so that we are entitled to a federal
tax deduction for certain performance-based compensation paid under the
Plan).
Subject
to the terms of the Plan, the Plan’s administrator has the sole discretion to
select the employees, consultants and directors who will receive awards,
determine the terms and conditions of the awards (for example, the exercise
price and vesting schedule), and interpret the provisions of the Plan and
outstanding awards. The Plan’s administrator also has authority to amend
outstanding awards to provide for a lower exercise price and/or permit the
surrender or cancellation of outstanding awards in exchange for awards with
a
lower exercise price, a different type of award, cash, and/or a combination
thereof. The Plan’s administrator may delegate any part of its authority and
powers under the Plan to one or more directors and/or officers; provided,
however, the administrator generally may not delegate its authority and powers
with respect to awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation
under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if the
delegation would cause the awards to fail to so qualify.
The
number of shares of our common stock initially reserved for issuance under
the Plan is 14,873,883. If an award is cancelled, terminates, expires, or lapses
for any reason without having been fully exercised or vested, the unvested
or
cancelled shares generally will be returned to the available pool of shares
reserved for issuance under the Plan.
Our
board
of directors generally may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for
any
reason. However, no amendment, suspension, or termination may impair the rights
of any participant without his or her consent.
On
July
6, 2007, RxElite Holdings Inc. approved the issuance to employees of RxElite
Holdings Inc. of options to purchase a total of 2,302,850 shares of RxElite
Holdings, Inc.’s common stock, which option grants were assumed by us in
connection with our July 13, 2007 reverse merger and were converted in 2,302,850
options to purchase our common stock. The options vest over a period of four
years and are exercisable for a period of ten years at $0.60 per
share.

base salary) through the balance of the term.
In
connection with the FineTech Acquisition, on January 4, 2008, we entered into
an
employment agreement with Dr. Arie L. Gutman, the sole owner of FineTech,
engaging Dr. Gutman to serve as president of FineTech Pharmaceutical.
The
initial term of the employment agreement is three years and may be extended
by
mutual agreement. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Dr. Gutman is entitled
to receive an annual base salary of $190,000, which may be increased annually
as
determined by our board of directors, and a bonus of up to 30% of his base
salary, to be determined by the board in its sole discretion. Dr. Gutman is
eligible for grants of options, restricted stock and/or other awards under
our
2007 Incentive Stock Plan, which options shall immediately vest if Dr. Gutman’s
employment is terminated without “cause” or upon a “change of control” (as
defined in the employment agreement). We may terminate Dr. Gutman’s employment
for “cause” 30 days after we notifies Dr. Gutman of the cause, provided that
such cause has not been remedied during such 30 days period. We may also
terminate Dr. Gutman’s employment without “cause” at any time upon 30 days prior
written notice. If Dr. Gutman’s employment is terminated without cause, then (i)
any unvested stock options held by Dr. Gutman will immediately vest, (ii) we
will be obligated to continue to pay Dr. Gutman his then current annual base
salary for a period of twelve months and to reimburse Dr. Gutman for the costs
of obtaining benefits comparable to those that he received while employed by
us,
until twelve months following his termination or, if sooner, until such time
as
Dr. Gutman obtains other employment that provides comparable benefits. Dr.
Gutman may voluntarily terminate his employment upon 270 days prior written
notice, if such termination occurs during the initial three year term, or upon
60 days notice, if such termination occurs thereafter. Upon our receipt of
any
such notice of voluntary termination by Dr. Gutman, we may accelerate the
resignation to an earlier date. Under the employment agreement, Dr. Gutman
is
prohibited from competing with us and with FineTech Pharmaceutical during the
term of employment and for one year after any termination of his
employment.
Effective
as of January 21, 2008, RxElite Holdings Inc. entered into a five-year
employment agreement with Rick Schindewolf, which was amended on February 11,
2008, pursuant to which Mr. Schindewolf is employed as our senior vice president

other transactions originated by us or Mr. Schindewolf and (iii) 1.5% of any

to the employment agreement, as amended, Mr. Schindewolf was granted an option
to purchase up to 250,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of
$0.87 per share. Such option vests as to 50% of the shares subject to the option
on the first anniversary of the date of grant and 50% thereafter in four equal
quarterly installments. If Mr. Schindewolf’s employment agreement is terminated
without “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement) during the first three
years of its term, Mr. Schindewolf is entitled to receive one year of continued
base salary, the vesting of all unvested stock options and continued benefits
for up to 12 months. If Mr. Schindewolf’s employment agreement is terminated
without “cause” thereafter, Mr. Schindewolf will be entitled to receive six
months of continued base salary, the immediate vesting of all stock options
(which will also occur upon change of control) and continued benefits for up
to
six months. The employment agreement also stipulates that Mr. Schindewolf shall
refrain from competing with us or soliciting employees from us for a period
of
one year from the date of termination of employment.
On
January 11, 2008, we entered into a three-year employment agreement with Shannon
M. Stith, which was amended on February 11, 2008, pursuant to which Ms. Stith
is
employed as our vice president of finance and principal accounting officer.
Ms.

SECURITY
OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT
The
following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership
of our common stock as of May 19, 2008 by:

CERTAIN
RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On
June
30, 2002, we issued a promissory note with a principal amount of $120,000 to
William and Helen Houssian, the parents of Jonathan Houssian, our president,
chief executive officer, chief financial officer, secretary and member of our
board of directors. The promissory note was payable beginning on June 1, 2002
in
three hundred sixty (360) monthly payments of $2,500 per month with an interest
rate of 25%. The promissory note allowed for pre-payment at double the
amount currently owed at any time plus any missed installments. This note was
repaid in full in July 2007.
On
December 31, 2007, the holder of our senior secured Convertible Note entered
into a put agreement with Tiburon LLC, an Idaho limited liability company.
Jonathan Houssian, our president, chief executive officer, chief financial
officer and secretary, is the sole managing member of Tiburon LLC. Pursuant
to
the put agreement, upon an event of default under the Convertible Note, the
noteholder may compel Tiburon LLC to purchase up to $10,500,000 principal amount
of the Note at the greater of (i) up to 125% of the sum of the outstanding
principal, interest and late fees, depending on the nature of the default or
(ii) the product of (a) the number of shares into which the Note (including
all
principal, interest and late fees) may be converted and (b) the product of
(1)
150% and (2) the highest closing sale price of our common stock beginning
on the date immediately preceding the event of default and ending on the date
the noteholder delivers its redemption notice for such event of default. This
right of the noteholder is valid until the earlier of (i) the maturity date
of
the Note and (ii) the date that we satisfy our quarterly debt to EBITDA ratio
minimums for two consecutive fiscal quarters, all as more
specifically described in the Note.
Tiburon
LLC’s obligations under the put agreement are secured by a pledge by Tiburon LLC
to the noteholder of 6,879,653 shares of our common stock pursuant to a pledge
agreement, dated as of December 31, 2007, between Tiburon LLC and the
noteholder. To the extent Tiburon LLC fails to satisfy its obligations under
the
put agreement, the noteholder’s sole remedies against Tiburon LLC are pursuant
to the pledge agreement.
On
January 18, 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with the Castlerigg Master
Investments Ltd., the beneficial owner of at least 5% of our stockholder,
pursuant to which we amended certain terms of the Convertible Note and the
Series A Warrant and Series B issued by us on December 31, 2007. Pursuant to
the
letter agreement, the Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Convertible Note)
thresholds contained in the Convertible Note for the fiscal quarter ending
March
31, 2008 were lowered by $500,000 and the value of up to 1,000,000 shares of
common stock that may be issued to consultants during the fiscal quarter ending
March 31, 2008 was added to our Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarter.
In
addition, the definition of “Excluded Securities” with respect to anti-dilution
price protection in both the Convertible Note and the Series A Warrant and
Series B was expanded to include the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of
common stock that may be issued to consultants during the fiscal quarter ending
March 31, 2008.
In
consideration for Dr. Gutman’s non-competition undertaking and assignment of
royalty rights in connection with the FineTech Acquisition, on January 22,
2008,
we issued 18,632,383 shares of our common stock to Dr. Gutman, our director.
We
also entered into a registration rights agreement, dated January 4, 2008 with
Dr. Gutman, pursuant to which we granted Dr. Gutman has the right to demand
that
we register and maintain the effectiveness of up to two registration statements
(or more, under certain circumstances) and “piggy-back” registration rights with
respect to the shares of our common stock he received, commencing on January
4,
2010.

Up
to
31,175,071 shares of our common stock are being offered by this prospectus,
all
of which are being registered for sale for the account of the selling

5,594,033
shares of our common stock issued to the selling stockholder in a
private
placement on December 31, 2007;

·
|
11,595,955 shares
of our common stock that have been or may be acquired upon the
partial conversion of the Convertible Note issued to the selling
stockholder on December 31, 2007; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
no shares
of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series B warrants
issued to the selling stockholder.
|
Each
of
the transactions by which the selling stockholder acquired its securities from
us was exempt under the registration provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.
The
shares of our common stock referred to above are being registered to permit
public sales of the shares, and the selling stockholder may offer the shares
for
resale from time to time pursuant to this prospectus. The selling stockholder
may also sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or a portion of its shares
in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities
Act
of 1933, as amended, or pursuant to another effective registration statement
covering those shares. We may from time to time include additional selling
stockholders in supplements or amendments to this prospectus.
The
shares of our common stock being offered by the selling stockholder are those
previously issued to the selling stockholder and those issuable to the selling
stockholder upon conversion of the Convertible Note and upon exercise of the
Series A Warrants. We are registering the shares of our common stock in order
to
permit the selling stockholder to offer the shares for resale from time to
time.
Except for the ownership of the shares of our common stock, the Convertible
Note
and the Warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
selling stockholder has not had any relationship with us within the past three
years.
The
table
below lists the selling stockholder and other information regarding the
beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock held by the selling
stockholder. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock
beneficially owned by the selling stockholder, based on its ownership of our
common stock, the Convertible Note and Warrants, as of June 2, 2008,
assuming conversion of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrants held
by
the selling stockholder on that date.
The
third
column lists the shares of our common stock being offered by this prospectus
by
the selling stockholder.
In
accordance with the terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling
stockholder, this prospectus covers the resale of the sum of
(i) 5,594,033 shares of common stock previously issued to the selling
shareholder, (ii) 11,595,955 shares of common stock issuable upon
conversion of the Convertible Note, (iii) 13,985,083 shares of common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants, and (iv) no
shares
of our common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Series B Warrants held
by the selling stockholder
.
Because
the conversion price of the Convertible Note and the exercise price of the
Warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued
may
be more or less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus.
The
fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered by the selling
stockholder pursuant to this prospectus.
Under
the
terms of the Convertible Note and the Warrants, the selling stockholder may
not
convert the Convertible Note or exercise the Warrants to the extent such
conversion or exercise would cause the selling stockholder, together with its
affiliates, to beneficially own a number of shares of common stock which would
exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such
conversion or exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares
of
common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note which have not
been converted and upon exercise of the Warrants which have not been exercised.
The number of shares in the second column reflects this limitation. The selling
stockholder may sell all, some or none of its shares in this offering.

(2) Represents
5,594,033 shares of common stock issued, and an additional 210,101 shares
of common stock issuable pursuant to the Series A Warrant and the Note.
The
selling stockholder is prohibited, pursuant to the terms of the Note, the
Series
A Warrant and the Series B Warrants held by it from converting or exercising
such securities if such conversion or exercise would result in the selling
stockholder owning in excess of 4.99% of the shares of Common Stock of
the
Company. Based upon a conversion price of $0.2177 for the Convertible
Note in effect as of June 2, 2008, the Convertible Note, if fully converted,
would be convertible into 48,231,511 shares.
Does
not
include any shares which may be issued pursuant to the Series B Warrants
held by
the selling stockholder or any shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant
to the
Note or Series A Warrants in excess of 4.99% of the Company's outstanding
shares of Common Stock. The Series B Warrant is not exercisable until such
time
as the Company elects to redeem the Note held by the selling stockholder.
The
Company's right to redeem the Note does not accrue until a date which is
at
least 9 months (September 29, 2008) after the issuance date of the
Note.
(3) As
noted in footnote (2) above, the selling stockholder is prohibited, pursuant
to
the terms of the Note, the Series A Warrant and the Series B Warrants held
by it
from converting or exercising such securities if such conversion or exercise
would result in the selling stockholder owning in excess of 4.99% of the
shares
of Common Stock of the Company. We have included for resale by the selling
stockholder an aggregate of 31,175,071 shares of common stock comprised
of
5,594,033 shares actually held by Castlerigg, 13,985,083 shares of common
stock
which could be issued upon full exercise of the Series A Warrants
and 11,595,955 shares which could be issued upon partial conversion of
the Note. Based upon a conversion price of $0.2177 for the Convertible
Note in effect as of June 2, 2008, the Convertible Note, if fully converted,
would be convertible into 48,231,511 shares. The Series B Warrants provide
for
the potential issuance of 4,661,694 shares and we have excluded from this
calculation all of such shares of Common Stock which may be issuable
under the Series B Warrants and have not included any such shares in the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.
Total
Dollar value of Securities underlying the Note and Potential Profits on
Conversion
The
following table sets forth the potential profit to be realized upon conversion
of the Note held by the selling shareholder based on a conversion price
of
$0.2177 and the closing price of our common stock of $0.88 on December
31, 2007.
On June 2, 2008, our common stock had a closing sale price of $0.36 per
share.
As
of
March 31, 2008, under the terms of the note, if we failed to record consolidated
EBITDA, as defined in the note, of at least (i)
($1,000,000)
for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, the conversion price shall
be
reset to the lower of (A) the then current conversion price or (B) 85%
of the
average market price, as defined in the note, of the common stock at
such time.
Under the note, the "Average Market Price" means, for any given date,
the lesser
of (i) the arithmetic average of the lowest Weighted Average Price of
the Common
Stock during the twenty (20) consecutive Trading Days ending on the Trading
Day
immediately prior to such given date (the "Measuring
Period")
and (ii) the arithmetic average of the Weighted Average Price of the
Common
Stock of the three (3) Trading Days with the lowest Weighted Average
Price of
the Common Stock during the Measuring Period; provided, that all such
determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock
dividend, stock combination or other similar transaction that proportionately
decreases or increases the Common Stock during such periods. For purposes
for
this filing we have determined the reset price to be $0.2177.
As
of
March 31, 2008, we failed to satisfy the EBITDA ratio and as a result,
the
conversion price of the note was adjusted downward, in accordance with
the
formula under the note, from $1.1262 to $0.2177 per share. Based upon
the new
conversion price, if the note were converted in full, we would be required
to
issue 48,231,511 shares of Common Stock to the holder of the
note.

Pursuant
to the terms of the note and the documents and agreements
entered into by
the Company and the selling shareholder, the number of shares
issuable
upon conversion of the full principal amount of the Note
would be
9,323,389 shares based upon the initial conversion price
of $1.1262 on the
date of issuance (December 31, 2007). As a result of the
failure by the
Company to satisfy a financial covenant under the note, the
conversion
price has been reset to a new conversion price of $0.2177
per share, which
would result in the issuance, if the note were fully converted,
in
48,231,511 shares. The number of shares in this column includes
an
additional 36,635,556 shares which would be issuable under
the note if it
were fully converted. Excluded from the number of shares are
13,983,083 shares which may be obtained upon exercise of
the Series A
Warrant and all 4,661,694 shares which may be obtained upon
exercise of the Series B Warrant. The Series A Warrant and
the Series B
Warrant have an exercise price of $1.1262 per share. If the
selling
stockholder exercised the Series A Warrants and Series B
Warrants for
these shares, the Company would receive an additional $18,307,112
in gross
proceeds.
In
order for the selling stockholder to derive a profit from
the Series A and
Series B Warrants, the selling stockholder would have to
be able to sell
the shares for a price in excess of the exercise price of
$1.1262 per
share.
|
|
(3)
|
Based
upon the closing price of $0.88 per share on December 31,
2007.
|
Notwithstanding
the new conversion price, under the terms of the note and Series
A and Series
B Warrants, the investor cannot convert the Note or exercise any warrants
to the extent that such conversion or exercise would result in the
investor
holding in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding common stock. Since
the investor
presently holds 5,594,033 shares of our common stock, it could not
convert the
note for an amount that would exceed 210,101 shares, based upon 116,315,303
shares outstanding prior to such conversion.
In
accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-27 Application of EITF Issue No.
98-5 to
Certain Convertible Instruments, ("EITF 00-27"), for the quarter
ended March 31,
2008 the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $3,755,678 to loss
on note
conversion and an increase in the debt discount of $55,848 for the
period ended
March 31, 2008. The non-cash charge measures the difference between
the relative
fair value of the Note with a conversion price of
$1.1262
and an estimated conversion price of $0.24.
For
purpose of initial disclosure in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ending
March 31,
2008 and filed on May 19, 2008, the
conversion
price was estimated using a descent of 15% from the average trading
price of the
Company's common stock as defined above. The Company's financial statements
for the second quarter ending June 30, 2008 will include additional
adjustments
to reflect the actual adjustments to the conversion price calculated
at June 2,
2008.
As
such,
the Company revalued the convertible debenture based on the amended
terms of the
Convertible Note. Accordingly, $55,848 was allocated to Debt Discount,
$3,755,678 to Loss on Note Conversion Rate Change, and $3,811,526
was allocated
to the equity component of the Note.

Eight
quarterly interest payments in the amount of $249,375 are payable under
the
Note. On March 31, 2008 the Company made the first quarterly
payment.
(2)
We
are unable to estimate at this time if any such payments will be payable,
or, if
payable, what such amount would be. Please see the description of the potential
payments set forth below and under the heading “Description of Securities”
appearing in this prospectus.
(3)
See
description below of the potential buy-in payments or liquidated damages
which
may be increased under certain events.
(4)
See
clause F below for a description of the potential redemption rights
of the
billing stockholder. Amount stated reflects one-half of the principal
amount of
the note plus 12,040 of such amount. Also assumes that he Company has
paid all
invoices due to the date of redemption.
We
did
not engage any finder or placement or selling agent in connection with
the
financing and therefore did not incur or pay any such fees.
We
have
not incurred any penalties or additional interest obligations at this time.
Notwithstanding the forgoing, total possible payments under agreements
entered
into in connection with the sale of the common stock, note and warrants
to the
selling stockholder and any of their affiliates in the year following December
31, 2007 (the date of the closing of the financing) consist of (without
giving
effect to any payments which may be due or accelerated in an event of default
under the note) the following:
A.
If
the
Company has failed to deliver to the selling shareholder, within three
days of
request, any share certificates delivered for removal of the then current
restrictive legend, and the selling shareholder is required to buy shares
in the
open market to satisfy any delivery obligations, then the Company is obligated
to pay to the selling shareholder an amount equal to the cost of any purchase
of
common stock by the selling shareholder (including broker commissions
incurred).
B.
If
we
fail to cause our transfer agent to transmit to each selling stockholder
a
certificate or certificates representing the common stock in requisite
form on
or before the third trading day after request for conversion of the note
or
exercise of the Series A or Series B warrant, the company is required to
pay to
the selling shareholder an amount in cash equal to 1.5% of the product
of (a)
the number of shares which were required to be delivered and (b) the closing
price of the company’s common stock on the trading day immediately preceding the
last possible date on which the Company could have issued such shares by
the
selling shareholder on a timely basis. Further, if after such date such
selling
stockholder is required by its broker to purchase (in an open market transaction
or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale
by the
selling stockholder of common stock which the selling stockholder anticipated
receiving in the form required (a “Buy-In”), then we shall pay in cash to such
selling stockholder the amount by which (x) such selling stockholder’s total
purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares
of
common stock so purchased exceeds (y) the amount obtained by multiplying
(A) the
number of shares at issue times (B) the price at which the sell order giving
rise to such purchase obligation was executed. We do not anticipate having
to
pay any amounts pursuant to this provision, but we are unable to estimate
at
this time if any such payments will be payable, or, if payable, the amount
of
such payments.
C.
If
the
selling stockholder becomes involved in any proceeding by or against any
person
who is a stockholder (except as a result of sales, pledges, margin sales
and
similar transactions by the selling stockholder to or with any other
stockholder), solely as a result of such selling stockholder’s acquisition of
our securities, we will reimburse the selling stockholder for its legal
and
other expenses (including the cost of any investigation preparation and
travel
in connection therewith) incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses
are
incurred. We do not anticipate having to pay any amounts pursuant to this
provision, but we are unable to estimate at this time if any such payments
will
be payable, or, if payable, the amount of such payments.
D.
We
have
agreed to indemnify the selling stockholder for any losses they may incur
as a
result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants
or
agreements made by us in any of the transaction documents in the financing
or as
a result of any action instituted against a selling stockholder with respect
to
the private placement, unless such action is based upon a breach of such
selling
stockholder’s obligations or any violations by the selling stockholder of state
or federal securities laws or fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct
or
malfeasance. We do not anticipate having to pay any amounts pursuant to
this
provision, but we are unable to estimate at this time if any such payments
will
be payable, or, if payable, the amount of such payments.
E.
If
the
registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is not effective
on
or before June 8, 2008, we must pay to each selling stockholder an amount
equal
to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such selling stockholder
for the registrable securities whether or not registered for
resale pursuant to an effective registration statement. The maximum aggregate
liquidated damages payable to a selling stockholder shall be 12% of the
aggregate subscription amount paid by such selling stockholder. Thus, in
the
event the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part
has not
been declared effective prior to June 8, 2008, the total possible payments
we
would have to make pursuant to these liquidated damages would be an aggregate
of
$1,260,000. If we fail to pay any damages within a timely manner the date
payable, we will pay interest thereon at a rate of 1% per month. Although
we do
not anticipate having to pay any amounts pursuant to this provision, assuming
liquidated damages of $1,260,000, one year’s interest at 1% per month would
equal $151,200, for aggregate payments of $1,411,200.
F.
Commencing
September 30, 2008, the holder of the Note may require the Company to redeem
for
cash an amount equal to 50% of the then outstanding amount of the note,
plus
accrued and unpaid interest. The amount of the required payment would be
equal
to 120% of the principal amount of the note redeemed.
Comparison
of Proceeds to the Company to Potential Investor Profit
.
We
intend
to use the proceeds of the sale of the shares, note and warrants sold to
the
selling shareholder for working capital purposes. Set forth below is a
table
comparing the proceeds received by the Company to the potential profit
which may
be obtainable by the selling stockholder, based upon the terms of the note
on
December 31, 2007. We have disclosed in the table below a second line
entry for potential profit based on the new conversion price of $0.2177 and
a more recent market price of the common stock of $0.36 per share on June
2,
2008.

The
provisions of the note allow for any adjustment in the fixed conversion
price or
the number of shares issuable upon conversion of the note under certain
circumstances, such as customary adjustments for a recapitalization of
the
Company’s common stock such as split-ups, split-downs and stock dividends.
Further, there is potential adjustment in the conversion price on a “full
ratchet” basis, to reflect issuances by the Company of shares of its common
stock (or other securities convertible into common stock) at less than
the
$1.1262 conversion price. In a “full ratchet” adjustment, the conversion price
of the note would be adjusted to equal the issue price (or conversion or
exercise price) of the subsequent issuance by the Company. Since we are
not
aware of any subsequent issuances at this time we may effect the conversion
price of the note, we cannot estimate the possible adjusted exercise price
of
the note.
As
of
March 31, 2008, we failed to satisfy a covenant related to the maintenance
of
certain EBITDA ratios under the note and as a result, the conversion price
of
the note was adjusted downward, from $1.1262 to $0.2177 per share. Based
upon
the new conversion price, if the note were converted in full, we would
be
required to issue 48,231,511 shares of Common Stock to the holder of the
note.
Based
upon the new conversion price, and the number of shares which could be
issued
underlying the note, the combined price of the shares would be $38,750,835
utilizing the $0.88 price on December 31, 2007 and $17,363,344 utilizing
a
closing sale price of $0.36 on June 2, 2008.
Potential
profit upon conversion/exercise of warrants
Set
forth
below is a chart setting forth the potential profit to be realized by
the
selling shareholder upon conversion of the Series A and Series B warrants,
both
of which are exercisable at $1.1262 per share. Based on the market price
of $.88
per share on December 31, 2007, the date of the issuance of the warrants,
there
would be no immediate profit.

Prior
Transactions with the Selling Shareholder
Prior
to
the December 31

placement, there were no transactions between the issuer (or any of its
predecessors) and the selling shareholder, any affiliates of the selling
shareholder, or any person with whom the selling shareholder has a contractual
relationship regarding the transaction (or any predecessors of those persons).
Our
ability to Repay the Note
Management
has advised that based on historical financial events increased sales in
the fourth quarter of 2007 and the year to date, and the current growth
rate in
this quarter and our current cash/receivables position, the Company has
a
reasonable basis to believe that the Company will meet all of the obligations
to
make all payments on the note.
Short
Selling Activity by the Selling Shareholder
RxElite
is not aware of any short position by the selling shareholder at this date
(based upon inquiry made to the selling shareholder). Further, please note
that
the agreement governing the investment contain prohibitions against the
selling
shareholder maintaining a short position while the registration statement
is
under review and not yet effective. In addition, the securities purchase
agreement states that the selling shareholder, upon registration of the
shares
can not maintain a net negative position
.
Method
for Determining the Number of Shares Being Registered
Hereunder
We
are
registering a total of 31,175,071 shares of common stock for resale by
the
selling shareholder representing (i) 5,594,033 shares of our common stock
which
were previously issued to the selling shareholder (ii) 11,595,955 shares
issuable to the selling shareholder upon conversion of the note (iii) 13,985,083
shares issuable to the selling shareholder upon conversion of the Series
A
Warrants; and (iv)
none
of
the shares issuable to the selling stockholder upon conversion of the Series
B
Warrants, all
as purchased in the December 31, 2007 financing, as
further described herein. We have not included an additional 36,635,556
shares
issuable upon conversion of the note based upon a reduced conversion price
of
$0.2177 per share. The initial conversion price of $1.1262 per share has
been
reduced to reflect our failure to satisfy a financial covenant under the
note.
As
of March 31, 2008, we failed to satisfy a covenant related to the maintenance
of
certain EBITDA ratios under the note and as a result, the conversion price
of
the note was adjusted downward, from
$1.1262
to $0.2177 per share. Based upon the new conversion price, if the note
were
converted in full, we would be required to issue 48,231,511 shares of Common
Stock to the holder of the note.
DESCRIPTION
OF CAPITAL STOCK
We
are
authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of our common stock and 1,000,000 shares
of preferred stock. On June 2, 2008, there were 116,315,303 shares of
our common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued
and outstanding.
The
Company intends to seek approval from its stockholders for a reverse stock
split
of one share for up to 20 outstanding shares at the annual meeting of
stockholders to be held on June 4, 2008. The stockholders of the Company
have
approved the proposal for the reverse split. The exact reverse stock split
ratio
has not been determined as of the date of this prospectus and will not be
determined by the Board of Director until a determination is made to effect
the
split. The reverse stock split will not effect the par value or the amount
of authorized shares of our common stock.
Common
Stock
The
holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our certificate
of
incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. The holders of our common
stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared
by the board of directors out of legally available funds. Upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock are entitled to
share
ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders
of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion
rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of our common stock
are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders
of
any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of
the
board of directors and issued in the future.
Preferred
Stock
The
board
of directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law,
without further vote or action by the stockholders, to issue from time to time
shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each such series of preferred
stock shall have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting
powers, qualifications, and special or relative rights or privileges as shall
be
determined by the board of directors, which may include, among others, dividend
rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive
rights.
Senior
Secured Convertible Note
On
December 31, 2007, we issued the Convertible Note in the aggregate principal
amount of $10,500,000 to the selling stockholder. The Convertible Note matures
on December 31, 2009, which date may be extended at the option of the noteholder
as described below. The entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding
fees or interest are due and payable in full on the maturity date. The
Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of 9.50% per annum, which rate
may
be increased to 15% upon the occurrence of an event of default, as described
below. Interest on the Note is payable quarterly beginning on April 1,
2008.
The
maturity date with respect to all or any portion of the amounts due under the
Note may be extended at the option of the noteholder (i) for so long as an
event
of default is continuing or for so long as an event is continuing that if not
cured and with the passage of time would result in an event of default, (ii)
in
connection with a change of control, to a date within ten days after the change
in control and (iii) for up to two years after the original maturity
date.
Conversion
The
Note
is convertible at the option of the noteholder into shares of our common stock
at an initial conversion price of $1.1262 per share, subject to adjustment
for
stock splits, combinations or similar events. The conversion price is also
subject to a “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment which, in the event that we
issue or are deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than
the
then applicable conversion price, immediately reduces the conversion price
to
equal the price at which we issued or are deemed to have issued common
stock.
Should
we
fail to record consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the Note, of at least (i)
($1,000,000) for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, (ii) $0.00 for the
fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2008, (iii) $1,000,000 for the fiscal quarter
ending September 30, 2008, (iv) $2,000,000 for the fiscal quarter ending
December 31, 2008 and (v) $2,000,000 for each fiscal quarter thereafter, the
conversion price shall be reset to the lower of (i) the then current conversion
price or (ii) 85% of the average market price, as defined in the Note, of the
common stock at such time. However, the conversion price will not be reset
with
respect to the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008 if we have redeemed at
least
50% of the original principal amount of the Note before our earnings for such
quarter are required to have been announced.
As
of
March 31, 2008, we failed to satisfy a covenant related to the maintenance
of
certain EBITDA ratios under the note and as a result, the conversion price
of
the note was adjusted downward, from
$1.1262
to $0.2177 per share.
The
Series A and Series B Warrants do not have an adjustment provision similar
to
the note.
Therefore, the principal amount of the note would
be convertible into an aggregate of 48,231,511 shares.
The
Convertible Note contains certain limitations on conversion. For example, the
Note provides that no conversion may be made if, after giving effect to the
conversion, the noteholder would own in excess of 4.99% of the outstanding
shares of our common stock. This percentage may, however, be raised or lowered
to an amount not to exceed 9.99%, at the option of the noteholder, upon 61-days’
prior notice to us.
The
Convertible Note imposes penalties on us for any failure to timely deliver
any
shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion.
Events
of Default
The
Convertible Note contains standard events of default, as well as the
following:
|
·
|
The
failure of any registration statement registering for resale the
common
stock issued on December 31, 2007, as well as the common stock underlying
the Note and the Warrants issued on such day, to be declared effective
by
the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the date
required by the registration rights agreement or the lapse or
unavailability of such registration statement for more than 5 consecutive
days or more than an aggregate of 20 days in any 365-day period,
other
than certain allowable grace periods.
|
|
·
|
The
suspension from trading or failure of our common stock to be listed
for
trading on the OTC Bulletin Board or another eligible market for
more than
5 consecutive trading days or more than an aggregate of 10 trading
days in
any 365-day period.
|
|
·
|
The
failure to issue shares upon conversion of the Note for more than
10
business days after the relevant conversion date or a notice of our
intention not to comply with a request for conversion.
|
|
·
|
The
failure for 10 consecutive business days to have reserved for issuance
the
full number of shares issuable upon conversion in accordance to the
terms
of the Note.
|
|
·
|
The
breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or term of any
transaction documents with respect to the sale of the Note, or if
such
breach is curable, if not cured within 10 business
days.
|
|
·
|
The
invalidity of any material provision of the documents perfecting
the
noteholder’s security interest in our assets or if the enforceability or
validity of any material provision of such security documents are
contested by us.
|
|
·
|
The
failure of the security documents to perfect or maintain the noteholder’s
first priority security interest.
|
If
there
is an event of default, the noteholder may force us to redeem all or any portion
of the Convertible Note, at the greater of (i) up to 125% of the sum of the
outstanding principal, interest and late fees, depending on the nature of the
default or (ii) the product of (a) the number of shares into which the Note,
including all principal, interest and late fees, may be converted and (b) the
product of (1) 150% and (2) the highest closing sale price of our common
stock beginning on the date immediately preceding the event of default and
ending on the date the noteholder delivers its redemption notice for such event
of default.
Fundamental
Transactions
The
Convertible Note prohibits us from entering into certain transactions involving
a change of control, unless the successor entity is a public company and it
assumes in writing all of our obligations under the Note and the other
transaction documents.
In
the
event of such a transaction, the noteholder has the right to force redemption
of
the Convertible Note, at the greater of (i) 150% of the sum of the amount of
principal, interest and late fees to be redeemed and (ii) the product of
(x) 150% and (y) the product of (1) the sum of the amount of principal, interest
and late fees to be redeemed and (2) the quotient determined by dividing (A)
the
value of the consideration paid per share of common stock in the change of
control transaction by (B) the conversion price.
Redemption
At
any
time on or after September 30, 2008, the noteholder may require us to
redeem up to 50% of the original principal amount of the Convertible Note at
a
price equal to 120% of the amount of principal to be redeemed plus all accrued
but unpaid interest and late fees.
At
any
time, provided there is not an event of default, we may redeem (i) the first
50%
of the Convertible Note for 120% of the sum of the amount of principal, interest
and late fees to be redeemed and (ii) the remaining 50% of the Note for the
sum
of (A) 100% of the sum of the amount of principal, interest and late fees to
be
redeemed and (B) the amount of interest that, but for such redemption, would
have been paid to the noteholder from the issuance date through the maturity
date of the Note.
Covenants
The
Convertible Note contains standard covenants, as well as the
following:
|
·
|
The
Note will rank senior to all other indebtedness.
|
|
·
|
We
will at all times reserve a number of shares equal to 130% of the
number
of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Note.
|
|
·
|
We
will not incur other indebtedness, except for certain permitted
indebtedness.
|
|
·
|
We
will not incur any liens, except for certain permitted
liens.
|
|
·
|
We
will not, directly or indirectly, redeem or repay all or any portion
of
any permitted indebtedness if at the time such payment is due or
is made
or, after giving effect to such payment, an event constituting, or
that
with the passage of time and without being cured would constitute,
an
event of default has occurred and is continuing.
|
|
·
|
Except
for the redemption of 350,000 shares of our common stock within 50
days
following December 31, 2008 at a purchase price of $4.00 per share,
we
will not redeem, repurchase or pay any dividend or distribution on
our
common stock or any other capital stock.
|
|
·
|
From
and after December 31, 2008, we will maintain a consolidated total
debt to
consolidated EBITDA ratio, each as defined in the Note, equal to
or less
than (i) 3.5 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2007, (ii)
3.5 for
the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, (iii) 3.5 for the fiscal
quarter
ending June 30, 2008, (iv) 3.5 for the fiscal quarter ending September
30,
2008, (v) 3.0 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2008 and
(v) 3.0
for each fiscal quarter thereafter.
|
As
of
March 31, 2008, we failed to satisfy a covenant related to the maintenance
of
certain EBITDA ratios under the note and as a result, the conversion price
of
the note was adjusted downward, from
$1.1262
to $0.2177 per share. Based upon the new conversion price, if the note were
converted in full, we would be required to issue 48,231,511 shares of Common
Stock to the holder of the note.
The
Series A and Series B Warrants do not have an adjustment provision similar
to
the note.
Participation
Rights
Any
holder of the Convertible Note is entitled to receive any dividends paid or
distributions made to the holders of our common stock on an “as if converted” to
common stock basis.
Purchase
Rights
If
we
issue options, convertible securities, warrants or similar securities to holders
of our common stock, any holder of the Convertible Note will have the right
to
acquire the same as if it had converted the Note.
Warrants
December
31, 2007 Warrants
On
December 31, 2007, in connection with the sale of the Convertible Note and
common stock, we issued the Series A Warrant that is immediately exercisable
and
entitles the holder to purchase up to an aggregate of 13,985,083
shares of our common stock. At the same time, we also issued the noteholder
the
Series B Warrant that becomes exercisable only upon our redemption of more
than
50% of the Convertible Note, for up to an aggregate of 4,661,694
shares of our common stock, depending on how much of the Convertible Note is
redeemed. The Warrants each have an initial exercise price of $1.1262 per share
payable in cash. The Warrants expire on the earlier of December 31, 2014 or
five
years after the date all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the
Convertible Note and the Warrants have been included on one of more registration
statements that have been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. We have not included any shares for registration under this
prospectus for resale any shares which many be issued upon exercise of the
Series B Warrants.
The
Warrants require payments to be made by us for failure to deliver the shares
of
our common stock issuable upon exercise. The Warrants also contain certain
limitations on exercise, including the limitation that the holder may not
exercise its Warrant to the extent that upon exercise the holder, together
with
its affiliates, would own in excess of 4.99% of our outstanding common stock,
subject to an increase or decrease, upon at least 61-days’ notice by the holder
to us, of up to 9.99%.
Anti-Dilution
Protection
The
exercise price of the Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of the Warrants are subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations or
similar events. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants is also subject
to a “full ratchet” anti-dilution adjustment which, in the event that we issue
or are deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than the then
applicable exercise price, immediately reduces the exercise price of the
Warrants to equal the price at which we issue or are deemed to have issued
common stock.
Fundamental
Transactions
We
may
not enter into a transaction involving a change of control unless the successor
entity assumes our obligations under the Warrants and the successor entity
is a
publicly traded corporation whose common stock is quoted or listed on one of
the
exchanges specified in the Warrants. Upon the occurrence of a transaction
involving a change of control, the holders of the Warrants will have the right,
among others, to have the Warrants repurchased for a purchase price in cash
equal to the Black-Scholes value of the then unexercised portion of the
Warrants.
Purchase
Rights
If
we
issue options, convertible securities, warrants, stock, or similar securities
to
holders of our common stock, any holder of the Warrants shall have the right
to
acquire the same as if it had exercised its Warrants.
Amendment
of Convertible Note and December 31, 2007 Warrants
On
January 18, 2008, we entered into a letter agreement with the selling
stockholder, pursuant to which we amended certain terms of the Convertible
Note
and the Series A Warrant and Series B issued by us to the selling stockholder
on
December 31, 2007. Pursuant to the letter agreement, the Consolidated EBITDA
(as
defined in the Convertible Note) thresholds contained in the Convertible Note
for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008 were lowered by $500,000 and the
value of up to 1,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued to
consultants during the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008 was added to our
Consolidated EBITDA for such fiscal quarter. We did not satisfy the EBITDA
covenant for March 31, 2008, and therefore the conversion price of the note
has
been reset to $0.2177 per share. In addition, the definition of “Excluded
Securities” with respect to anti-dilution price protection in both the
Convertible Note and the Warrants was expanded to include the issuance of up
to
1,000,000 shares of common stock that may be issued to consultants during the
fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008.
July
13, 2007 Warrants
On
July
13, 2007, in connection with our reverse merger, we issued warrants to purchase
21,155,850 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share
(10,000 of which were subsequently cancelled prior to vesting upon the
termination of employment of a former officer of our company), 3,699,963 shares
of our common stock at a price of $0.60 per share (180,000 of which were
subsequently cancelled prior to vesting upon the termination of employment
of a
former officer of our company) and 132,004 shares of our common stock at a
price
of $0.00237 per share. Each of these warrants has a term of two years commencing
on October 29, 2007. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the closing bid
price
of our common stock equal or exceed $2.20 per share for 20 consecutive trading
days and if there is an effective registration statement covering the resale
of
the common stock underlying these warrants, we may compel the holders of these
warrants to either surrender or exercise their warrants.
The
exercise price of the warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise
of the warrants are subject to adjustments for stock splits, combinations or
similar events. In addition, the exercise price of certain of these warrants
is
subject to a “weighted average” anti-dilution price protection in the event that
we issue or are deemed to have issued certain securities at a price lower than
the then applicable exercise price.
Registration
Rights
December
31, 2007 private placement
In
connection with our December 31, 2007 private placement of common stock, the
Convertible Note and warrants, we entered into a registration rights agreement,
pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities
and Exchange Commission covering the resale of 130% of the shares of our common
stock issued and 130% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon the
conversion of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrants on or before
April 9, 2008, and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective
by the Securities and Exchange Commission on or before May 9, 2008 in the event
that the registration statement is not reviewed by the Securities and Exchange
Commission and on or before June 8, 2008 in the event that the registration
statement is reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
If
(i)
the registration statement is not filed on or before April 9, 2008, (ii) the
registration statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or before May 9, 2008 in the case of no review, (iii) the
registration statement is not declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission on or before June 8, 2008 in the case of a review by the Securities
and Exchange Commission or (vi) the registration statement ceases to remain
continuously effective for more than 10 consecutive calendar days or more than
an aggregate of 30 calendar days during any 12-month period after its first
effective date, then we will pay liquidated damages to the selling stockholder
in an amount equal to 2% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the selling
stockholder on the day of delinquency and each month of delinquency thereafter.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the maximum aggregate liquidated damages
due
under the registration rights agreement shall be 12% of the aggregate purchase
price paid by the selling stockholder, (ii) no liquidated damages will be due
as
a result of a failure caused by the application of Rule 415 by the Securities
and Exchange Commission and (iii) no liquidated damages will be due with respect
to any shares of our common stock that may be sold without the requirement
to be
in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or
limitation pursuant to Rule 144.
Pursuant
to the registration rights agreement, we must maintain the effectiveness of
the
registration statement from the effective date until the date on which all
securities registered under the registration statement have been sold, or are
otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without the requirement to be
in
compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation
pursuant to Rule 144, subject to our right to suspend or defer the use of the
registration statement in certain events.
The
selling shareholder has agreed that we are required, as a result of SEC comments
as to the number of shares to be registered for resale pursuant to this
prospectus, to limit the total number of shares to 31,175,071 shares. As a
result, we are registering for resale by the selling shareholder 5,594,033
shares of Common Stock held by it, 13,985,083 shares which may be received
upon exercise of the Series A Warrants and 11,595,955 shares which may be
received by the selling shareholder upon conversion of the note.
Stock
Issuance to Dr. Gutman
We
have
granted Dr. Gutman certain registration rights with respect to the 18,632,383
shares of our common stock which were issued to Dr. Gutman in consideration
for
Dr. Gutman’s non-competition undertaking and assignment of royalty rights, in
connection with the FineTech Acquisition. Commencing on January 4, 2010, Dr.
Gutman has (i) the right to demand that we register and maintain the
effectiveness of up to two registration statements (or more, under certain
circumstances) covering shares of our common stock held by him and any other
securities that may be issued to Dr. Gutman and (ii) “piggy-back” registration
rights with respect to such shares.
Anti-Takeover
Effect of Delaware Law, Certain Charter and By-Law
Provisions
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have
the
effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or
delaying or preventing a change of control of our company. These provisions
are
as follows:
|
·
|
they
provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only
by our
chairman, our president or by a resolution adopted by a majority
of our
board of directors;
|
|
·
|
they
do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election
of
directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding
a
sufficient number of shares may be able to ensure the election of
one or
more directors. The absence of cumulative voting may have the effect
of
limiting the ability of minority stockholders to effect changes in
our
board of directors; and
|
|
·
|
they
allow us to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 1,000,000
shares of
preferred stock that could adversely affect the rights and powers
of the
holders of our common stock.
|
|
|
|
We
are
subject to the provisions of Section 203 of the General Corporation Law of
the
State of Delaware, an anti-takeover law. In general, Section 203 prohibits
a
publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a “business combination”
with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years after the date of
the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder, unless
the
business combination is approved in a prescribed manner. For purposes of Section
203, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset sale or other transaction
resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder, and an
“interested stockholder” is a person who, together with affiliates and
associates, owns, or within three years prior did own, 15% or more of the voting
stock of a corporation.
Indemnification
of Directors and Officers
Section
145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware provides, in
general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of
Delaware, as we are, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is
threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action,
suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the
corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director,
officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in
connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good
faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
to
the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action
or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was
unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may
indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually
and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in
a
manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in
respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been
adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that
the
Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court in which such
action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to
indemnity for such expenses.
Our
certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our
directors, officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner
permitted by the provisions of the General Corporation Law of the State of
Delaware, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion
or
limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders’ or
directors’ resolution or by contract. Any repeal or modification of these
provisions approved by our stockholders will be prospective only and will not
adversely affect any limitation on the liability of any of our directors or
officers existing as of the time of such repeal or modification.
We
are
also permitted to apply for insurance on behalf of any director, officer,
employee or other agent for liability arising out of his actions, whether or
not
the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware would permit
indemnification.
Disclosure
of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act
Liabilities
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933,
as
amended, may be permitted to our directors, officers and persons controlling
us,
we have been advised that it is the Securities and Exchange Commission’s opinion
that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore,
unenforceable.
PLAN
OF DISTRIBUTION
We
are
registering an aggregate of 31,175,071 shares of common stock
including 5,094,033 shares previously issued, 11,595,955 the
shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note
and 13,985,083 shares issuable upon exercise of the Series A
Warrants to permit the resale of these shares of common stock by the
holders of the common stock, Convertible Note and Warrants from time to time
after the date of this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds
from
the sale by the selling stockholder of the shares of common stock. We will
bear
all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of
common stock.
The
selling stockholder may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock
beneficially owned by it and offered hereby from time to time directly or
through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of
common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers, the selling
stockholder will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or
agent's commissions. The shares of common stock may be sold in one or more
transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the
sale, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices.
These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve crosses or block
transactions,
|
·
|
on
any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the
securities may be listed or quoted at the time of sale;
|
|
·
|
in
the over-the-counter market;
|
|
·
|
in
transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the
over-the-counter market;
|
|
·
|
through
the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options
exchange or otherwise;
|
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for
its
account;
|
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
·
|
short
sales;
|
|
·
|
sales
pursuant to Rule 144;
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the selling stockholder to sell a specified number
of such
shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale; and
|
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
|
|
|
|
If
the
selling stockholder effects such transactions by selling shares of common stock
to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts,
concessions or commissions from the selling stockholder or commissions from
purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or
to
whom they may sell as principal (which discounts, concessions or commissions
as
to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales
of
the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling stockholder may enter
into
hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short
sales of the shares of common stock in the course of hedging in positions they
assume. The selling stockholder may also sell shares of common stock short
and
deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short
positions and to return borrowed shares in connection with such short sales.
The
selling stockholder may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to
broker-dealers that in turn may sell such shares.
The
selling stockholder may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all
of
the convertible notes, warrants or shares of common stock owned by it and,
if it
defaults in the performance of its secured obligations, the pledgees or secured
parties may offer and sell the shares of common stock from time to time pursuant
to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3)
or
other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending,
if necessary, the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee,
transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this
prospectus. The selling stockholder also may transfer and donate the shares
of
common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees,
pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners
for purposes of this prospectus.
The
selling stockholder and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution
of
the shares of common stock may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning
of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions
allowed to, any such broker-dealer may be deemed to be underwriting commissions
or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of
the
shares of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will
be
distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of shares of common stock
being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of
any
broker-dealers or agents, any discounts, commissions and other terms
constituting compensation from the selling stockholder and any discounts,
commissions or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to
broker-dealers.
Under
the
securities laws of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such
states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition,
in
some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have
been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from
registration or qualification is available and is complied with.
There
can
be no assurance that the selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares
of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement, of which
this
prospectus forms a part.
The
selling stockholder and any other person participating in such distribution
will
be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as
amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without
limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act, which may limit the timing of
purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling
stockholder and any other participating person. Regulation M may also restrict
the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common
stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common
stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability of the shares of common
stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making
activities with respect to the shares of common stock.
We
will
pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant
to
the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $160,676 in total, including,
without limitation, SEC filing fees and expenses of compliance with state
securities or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that the selling stockholder
will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will
indemnify the selling stockholder against liabilities, including some
liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights
agreement, or the selling stockholder will be entitled to contribution. We
may
be indemnified by the selling stockholder against civil liabilities, including
liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written
information furnished to us by the selling stockholder specifically for use
in
this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreement,
or we may be entitled to contribution.
Once
sold
under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the
shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other
than our affiliates.
LEGAL
MATTERS
The
validity of the common stock offered by this prospectus will be passed upon
for
us by Haynes and Boone, LLP, New York, New York.

Report
of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To
the
Board of Directors and Shareholders of
RxElite,
Inc.
Meridian,
Idaho
We
have
audited the balance sheets of RxElite, Inc. as of December 31, 2007,
and
2006, and the related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity
(deficit) 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not
engaged to
perform an audit of the Company’s 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.
An audit
also includes 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 reasonable basis for
our
opinion.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all
material respects, the financial position of RxElite, Inc. as of December
31,
2007, and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows
for the
years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company
will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the financial
statements, the Company’s operating losses and lack of working capital raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in
Note 3. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result
from the
outcome of this uncertainty.

–
ORGANIZATION AND MERGER
RxElite,
Inc. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Meridian, Idaho.
The Company is in the business of manufacturing and selling generic
pharmaceuticals. The Company was originally organized as
Southridge
Technology Group, LLC (“STG”), a Delaware limited liability company
,
in
November 2001. On August 24, 2005, the limited liability company was
converted
into a Delaware corporation and changed its name to Southridge Technology
Group,
Inc. Prior to July 13, 2007, the Company provided customized computing
and
communication services and solutions for small to medium-sized
businesses.
On
July
13, 2007, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
and
Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, RxElite
Holdings Inc., a privately owned Delaware corporation engaged in the
manufacturing and selling of generic pharmaceuticals (“RHI”), and RxElite
Acquisition Corp., a newly-formed, wholly-owned Delaware subsidiary
of the
Company (“Acquisition Sub”). Upon closing of the merger transaction (the
“Merger”), Acquisition Sub was merged with and into RHI, and RHI, as the
surviving corporation, became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The
Company succeeded to the business of RHI as its sole line of
business.
The
Merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization
of
RHI for financial accounting purposes. Consequently, the assets and
liabilities
and the historical operations that will be reflected in the financial
statements
of the Company prior to the Merger will be those of RHI and will be
recorded at
the historical cost basis of RHI, and the consolidated financial statements
after completion of the Merger will include the assets and liabilities
of the
Company and RHI, and the historical operations of RHI and operations
of STG from
the closing date of the Merger. The consolidated shareholders’ equity will
reflect the capital structure of the Company, including its $0.001
par value
common stock. Inter-company accounts and transactions are eliminated
in
consolidation.
In
connection with the closing of the Merger, the Board of Directors of
the Company
approved an amendment to its certificate of incorporation to (1) change
the name
of the Company from “Southridge Technology Group, Inc.” to “RxElite, Inc.” and
(2) increase the number of authorized shares of the Company’s capital stock from
99,000,000 to 201,000,000, consisting of 200,000,000 shares of common
stock, par
value $0.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value
$0.001. The shareholders of the Company subsequently approved the amendment
to
the certificate of incorporation.
NOTE
2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash
and
Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid
investments
with a maturity of three months or less.
Accounts
Receivable - The Company records its accounts receivable at the original
invoice
amount less an allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company also adjusts
the
receivable amount for a discount allowance for timely payments. An
account
receivable is considered to be past due if any portion of the receivable
balance
is outstanding beyond its scheduled due date. On a quarterly basis,
the Company
evaluates its accounts receivable and establishes an allowance for
doubtful
accounts, based on its history of past write-offs and collections,
and current
credit conditions. No interest is accrued on past due accounts receivable.
The allowance for doubtful accounts was $4,092 and $177,466 at
December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Payment discounts
are
recorded against revenue at the end of each period to the extent they
remain
eligible against the corresponding receivable. Customers are given
payment
discounts of between 2% and 3% for making payments within a range of
30 to 45
days. The discount allowance was $3,914 and $4,755 at December 31,
2007 and
December 31, 2006, respectively.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
Inventories
- Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out)
or market.
A reserve for slow-moving and obsolete inventory is established for
all
inventory deemed potentially non-saleable by management in the period
in which
it is determined to be potentially non-saleable. The current inventory
is
considered properly valued and saleable. The Company concluded that there
was no need for a reserve for slow moving and obsolete inventory at
December 31,
2007.
Property
and Equipment - Property and Equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation. Expenditures related to repairs and maintenance which
are not
capital in nature are expensed in the period incurred. Appropriate
gains and or
losses related to the disposition of property and equipment are realized
in the
period in which such assets are disposed. Depreciation expense amounted
to
$434,365 for the year ended December 31, 2007 (of which $239,964 was
included in
cost of goods sold) and $91,126 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the following
estimated useful lives:

Revenue
Recognition - The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when
the goods
are received by the customer, resulting in the transfer of title and
risk of
loss. The Company sells its products to some wholesalers at the WAC
price and to
some wholesalers at a negotiated contract price. Upon sale to wholesalers
who
operate based on the WAC price, the WAC price less an allowance for
the
difference between the WAC price and the contract price (rebate amount),
is
recorded based on the average calculated rebate amount which is treated
as a
sales revenue offset. Upon sale of our product by the wholesaler using
the WAC
price, we are invoiced for the difference between the WAC and the contract
price
and create a credit note for the difference. The Credit notes are then
reconciled with the sales revenue offset. Sales at negotiated contract
prices
(non-WAC) are recognized at the negotiated contract price.
Earnings
Per Share - The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128,
“Earnings
Per Share.” Basic earnings or loss per share is computed by dividing income or
loss (numerator) applicable to common stockholders by the weighted
average
number of common shares outstanding (denominator) for the period. Diluted
earnings per share assumes the exercise or conversion of all dilutive
securities.
Share
Based Payments - The Company uses the Black-Scholes valuation model
to estimate
the grant date fair value of its stock options and warrants. The model
requires
various judgmental assumptions including estimated stock price volatility,
forfeiture rates and expected life.
Our
calculations of the fair market value of each stock-based award that
was
granted, modified or calculated during the year ended December 31,
2007 used the
following assumptions:

Research
and Development Costs - All costs related to research and development
are
expensed as incurred. These costs include labor and other operating
expenses
related to product development, as well as costs to obtain regulatory
approval.
Advertising
- The Company expenses advertising as incurred. For the year ended
December 31,
2007 and 2006, advertising expenses were $265,744 and $104,199, respectively.
Accounting
Estimates - The process of preparing financial statements in conformity
with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires
the use
of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities,
revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled
transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements.
Accordingly,
actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
Concentration
of Credit Risk - Financial instruments that potentially subject the
Company to
concentration of credit risk consist of cash accounts in financial
institutions.
Although the cash accounts exceed the federally insured deposit amount,
management does not anticipate nonperformance by the financial institutions.
Shipping
and Handling - The Company records shipping and handling expenses in
the period
in which they are incurred and are included in the Cost of Goods
Sold.
Incomes
Taxes - Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method
whereby
deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences
and
operating loss and tax credit carryforwards and deferred tax liabilities
are
recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences
are the
differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and their tax
bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when,
in the
opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion
or all of
the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are adjusted for the effects of the changes in tax laws
and rates of
the date of enactment.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
When
tax
returns are filed, it is highly certain that some positions taken would
be
sustained upon examination by the taxing authorities, while others
are subject
to uncertainty about the merits of the position taken or the amount
of the
position that would be ultimately sustained. The benefit of a tax position
is
recognized in the financial statements in the period during which,
based on all
available evidence, management believes it is more likely than not
that the
position will be sustained upon examination, including the resolution
of appeals
or litigation processes, if any. Tax positions taken are not offset
or
aggregated with other positions. Tax positions that meet the
more-likely-than-not recognition threshold are measured as the largest
amount of
tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely of being realized upon
settlement with the applicable taxing authority. The portion of the
benefits
associated with tax positions taken that exceeds the amount measured
as
described above is reflected as a liability for unrecognized tax benefits
in the
accompanying balance sheet along with any associated interest and penalties
that
would be payable to the taxing authorities upon examination.
Interest
and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits are classified
as
additional income taxes in the statement of income.
NOTE
3 – GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred
losses
since inception and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable
future. The
Company’s business plan anticipates that its near future activities will be
funded from the issuance of additional equity or debt and funds provided
by
ongoing operations.
Immediately
following the Merger, the Company raised $10,703,092 of equity capital
and
converted $1,899,273 of convertible debentures through the issuance
of 21,003,959 units in a private placement. In addition, the Company
received proceeds of $10,500,000 from a senior secured convertible
note on
December 31, 2007.
If
sales
are insufficient to support planned development of new products and
expansion of
operations, the Company will need to access additional equity or debt
capital.
If public or private financing is not available when needed or is not
available
on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s growth and revenue-generating
plans may be materially impaired. Such results could have a material
adverse
effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and future
prospects. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE
11 – SENIOR SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE
On
December 31, 2007, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement
with
an institutional investor (“Buyer”), pursuant to which the Company sold
5,594,033 shares of common stock, a $10,500,000 senior secured convertible
note
(the “Note”), a Series A warrant to purchase up to 13,985,083 shares of common
stock and a Series B warrant to purchase up to 4,661,694 shares of
common stock
for aggregate proceeds of $10,500,000.
The
Note
has a principal amount of $10,500,000 and is convertible at the option
of the
Buyer into shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial conversion price
of $1.1262 per share, subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations
or
similar events, defined quarterly EBITDA targets, and for certain other
anti-dilution adjustments. The Note matures on December 31, 2009 (the
“Maturity
Date”), which date may be extended at the option of the Buyer under certain
conditions. The entire outstanding principal balance and any outstanding
fees or
interest is due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Note
bears
interest at the rate of 9.50% per annum, which rate may be increased
to 15% upon
the occurrence of an event of default. Interest on the Note is payable
quarterly
beginning on April 1, 2008.
At
any
time on or after August 31, 2008, the Buyer may require the Company
to redeem up
to 50% of the original principal amount of the Note for a price equal
to the
amount of principal to be redeemed plus all accrued but unpaid interest
and late
fees.
At
any
time, provided there is not an event of default, the Company may redeem
(i) 50%
of the Note for 120% of the sum of the amount of principal, interest
and late
fees to be redeemed and, following such redemption, (i) the remaining
50% of the
Note for the sum of (A) 100% of the sum of the amount of principal,
interest and
late fees to be redeemed and (B) the amount of interest that, but for
such
redemption, would have been paid to the Buyer from the issuance date
through the
maturity date.

INC.
(Formerly

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
The
Note
contains a variety of events of default, including the suspension from
trading
or failure of the Company’s common stock to be listed for trading on the OTC
Bulletin Board or another eligible market for defined periods of time,
the
failure to meet certain quarterly EBITDA targets, and other defined
events of
default. If there is an event of default, then the Buyer has the right
to redeem
all or any portion of the Note, at the greater of (i) up to 125% of
the sum of
the outstanding principal, interest and late fees, depending on the
nature of
the default or (ii) the product of (a) the number of shares into which
the Note
(including all principal, interest and late fees) may be converted
and (b) the
product of (1) 150% and (2) the greatest closing sale price for the
common stock
beginning on the date immediately preceding the event of default and
ending on
the date the Buyer delivers its redemption notice for such event of
default.
The
Note
prohibits the Company from entering into certain transactions involving
a change
of control, unless the successor entity is a public company and it
assumes in
writing all of the obligations of the Company under the Note and the
other
transaction documents. In the event of such a transaction, the Buyer
has the
right to force redemption of the Note, at the greater of (i) 150% of
the sum of
the amount of principal, interest and late fees to be redeemed or (ii)
the
product of (x) the sum of the amount of principal, interest and late
fees to be
redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the value
of the
consideration paid per share of common stock in the change of control
transaction by (B) the conversion price.
The
Note
contains a variety of covenants on the part of the Company, including
the
following:
|
·
|
The
Note will rank senior to all other indebtedness of the
Company.
|
|
·
|
The
Company will at all times reserve a number of shares equal
to 130% of the
number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion
of the
Note.
|
|
·
|
The
Company will not incur other indebtedness, except for certain
permitted
indebtedness.
|
|
·
|
The
Company will not incur any liens, except for certain permitted
liens.
|
|
·
|
The
Company will not, directly or indirectly, redeem or repay
all or any
portion of any permitted indebtedness if at the time such
payment is due
or is made or, after giving effect to such payment, an event
constituting,
or that with the passage of time and without being cured
would constitute,
an event of default has occurred and is
continuing.
|
|
·
|
Except
for the permitted redemption as defined in the agreement
of $4.00 per
share to our former Series A preferred stockholders who hold
350,000
shares of common stock, the Company will not redeem, repurchase
or pay any
dividend or distribution on its common stock or any other
capital
stock.

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
The
Series A warrant is immediately exercisable and, in the aggregate,
entitles the
Buyer to purchase up to 13,985,083 shares of common stock.
The
Series B warrant becomes exercisable only upon an additional redemption,
if any,
based on the amount of principal subject to the additional redemption
and, in
the aggregate, entitles the Buyer to purchase up to 4,661,694 shares
of common
stock.
The
warrants each have an initial exercise price of $1.1262 per share payable
in
cash, or until each share of common stock issuable upon exercise of
the warrants
has been registered for resale with the SEC, by way of a “cashless exercise.”
The warrants expire on the earlier of December 31, 2014 or five years
after the
date all of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note and the
warrants
have been included on one or more registration statements declared
effective by
the SEC.
Pursuant
to a registration rights agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration
statement with the SEC covering the resale of 130% of the common stock
and 130%
of the common stock underlying the Note and the warrants on or before
April 9,
2008 and to cause such registration statement to be declared effective
by the
SEC on or before May 9, 2008, in the event that the registration statement
is
not reviewed by the SEC, and on or before June 8, 2008, in the event
that the
registration statement is reviewed by the SEC.
To
secure
our obligations under the Note, we granted the Buyer a first priority
perfected
security interest in all of our assets and properties, together with
the assets
and properties of our operating subsidiary, RxElite Holdings, Inc.,
including
the stock of RxElite Holdings, Inc.

the Note at
the greater of (i) up to 125% of the sum of the outstanding principal,
interest
and late fees to be redeemed, depending on the nature of the default
or (ii) the

150% and (2) the greatest closing sale price for the common stock beginning
on
the date immediately preceding the event of default and ending on the
date Buyer
delivers its redemption notice for such event of default (the “

NOTE
12 – SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On
October 29, 2007, the Company amended its certificate of incorporation
to change
its name to “RxElite, Inc.” from “Southridge Technology Group, Inc.” The Company
also amended its certificate of incorporation to increase the number
of shares
of authorized capital stock to 201,000,000, divided into two classes:
200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and
1,000,000
shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share. Prior to the
amendment,
the number of shares of authorized capital stock was 99,000,000, divided
into
two classes: 98,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per
share, and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.001 per share.
The
certificate of amendment was unanimously approved by the Company’s board of
directors on July 13, 2007 and by a majority of the Company’s stockholders on
October 23, 2007.
Series
A Preferred Stock
At
January 1, 2006, each Series A preferred stock share was convertible
into one
share of common stock, and was not redeemable. Holders of Series A
preferred
stock (“Holders”), in preference to the holders of the other stock of the
Company, were entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board
of
Directors of the Company, but only out of funds that are legally available
therefore, cash dividends at the rate of five percent of the Original
Issue
Price per annum on each outstanding share of Series A preferred stock
(as
adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and
the like with
respect to such shares). Such dividends are payable only when as and
if declared
by the Board of Directors and are non-cumulative. The Series A preferred
stock
has a liquidation preference that upon a liquidation (or deemed liquidation)
the
Holder will receive, in priority to all junior securities, $4.00 per
share (as
adjusted for stock splits and the like) plus all declared but unpaid
dividends,
and thereafter, participation with the common stock in all of the remaining
assets of the Corporation, on an as converted basis. Provided, however,
that if
the assets available for distribution exceeds $100,000,000, then in
lieu of the
liquidation preference, the Holders of Series A preferred stock will
participate
with the holders of common stock on an as converted basis (the $100,000,000
threshold shall be proportionally increased if the Company raises additional
capital).

INC.
(Formerly

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
In
2006,
the Company issued 802,000 shares of Series A preferred stock. Consideration
for
the foregoing was in the form of $195,000 in cash, $24,700 in services
and other
expenses and $1,245,000 in subscription shares payable.
On
May
17, 2006 the Board of Directors approved the reduction in the exercise
price of
warrants held by the Holders that were exercisable at $2.00 per share
to $0.01
per share. The total number of warrants held by the Company’s preferred stock
shareholders was reduced to 70,000 shares. The Company accounted for
the
modification of these warrants in accordance with FAS 123(R) and used
the
Black-Scholes model, discussed in Note 2 under Share Based Payments,
to
determine the amount to be expensed for the reduction in the exercise
price for
the warrants. The resulting expense for modifying the warrants held
by the
Holders was $36,658 and was classified as other expense and $102,642
was
classified as dividends.
In
order
to induce the Holders to convert their shares of preferred stock to
common
stock, the Company entered into a Conversion Agreement dated as of
October 17,
2006, which provided for the Company buying back the Holders’ stock contingent
on certain events and before any liquidation or similar type transaction
and the
payment of specified fees before any distribution of proceeds were
effected.
On
October 17, 2006, the Holders elected to convert the total 2,960,500
shares of
Series A preferred stock outstanding into a total of 12,491,533 shares
of common
stock.
On
April
26, 2007, the Board of Directors approved and the Company entered into
an
amended agreement with the former Holders that provided for an aggregate
cash
payout of $600,000 contingent on the Company going public in a qualified
merger
and for an additional buy back of up to an aggregate of 350,000 shares
of common
stock at $4 per share or up to $1.4 million dollars on/or before December
31,
2008 (See Note 8).
Common
Stock
On
May
17, 2006 the Board of Directors approved the reduction in the exercise
price of
stock options then exercisable from $0.474 per share to $0.00237 per
share. The
number of options modified for common stock was 1,647,752. The Company
accounted
for the modification of these options in accordance with FAS 123(R)
and used the
Black-Scholes model discussed in Note 2, under Share Based Payments,
to
determine the amount to be expensed for the reduction in strike price
for the
warrants. The resulting expense for modifying the common stock warrants
was
$777,131 and has been included in general and administrative
expenses.
On
September 18, 2006, the Company filed its Second Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware
and
increased its authorized shares to 37,974,600 shares of common stock,
par value
$0.00237 per share, and 4,000,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred
Stock, par value $0.01 per share.
On
November 9, 2006, the Company filed its Third Amended and Restated
Certificate
of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware and increased
its
authorized shares to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, par value
$0.00237 per
share. In the context of the Third Amended and Restated Certificate
of
Incorporation, each share of common stock was split into 4.2194 shares
of common
stock.
During
the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued a total of 14,999,401
shares of its common stock for the following consideration: 12,491,533
shares
for the conversion of 2,960,500 shares of Series A preferred stock
with a book
value of $29,605; 529,273 shares for cash of $120,770, 1,702,752 shares
for
employee compensation and legal services valued at $222,338; 43,776
shares for
subscription shares payable of $20,750; 210,970 shares in payment of

$100,000; and 21,097 shares for other expenses valued at $10,000.

Company’s common stock valued at $0.60 per share to International Capital
Advisory Inc. (“ICA”) in discharge of a certain royalty obligation owed to ICA
on products commercialized by the Company and Minrad. The total value
of this
obligation of $4,400,000 has been recorded as Product Purchase Agreements
Expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operation for the year ended
December
31, 2007. Based on instructions from Minrad International, Inc., upon
the
effectiveness of the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to
increase its authorized capital stock on October 29, 2007, the Company
issued
1,500,000 of these shares to Minrad International, Inc. and 5,833,333
of these
shares to International Capital Advisory Inc. The Company decided to
expense these 5,833,333 shares instead of amortizing these costs due
to the
uncertainty of future sales growth.

Due
to
the change in ownership provisions of the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the
net
operating loss carry forwards of the Company for Federal income tax
purposes are
subject to annual limitations.

18 – FINDER FEE WARRANTS
In
2006,
the Company contracted with a capital development consulting firm to
assist the
Company to raise capital. For any capital raised with the assistance
of the
consulting firm, the agreement provides for compensation in the form
of cash and
warrants in proportion to the capital raised, plus certain base fees
and
expenses. During 2006 the consulting firm assisted in raising $3,565,600
for the
Company. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company owed the consulting
firm
$356,560 in cash and warrants to purchase 594,267 shares of common
stock at an
exercise price of $0.60 per share and warrants to purchase an aggregate
of
297,133 shares of common stock at $0.85 per share. At December 31,
2006, the
Company had not issued the warrants related to this agreement, but
as they had
been earned by the consulting firm as of December 31, 2006, the Company
calculated the fair market value of each warrant using the Black-Scholes
valuation model described in Note 2, under Share Based Payments. The
fair market
value of the warrants owed was calculated to total $134,299 and was
debited to
Additional Paid in Capital and credited to accounts payable at December
31,
2006.
During
the year ended December 31, 2007, the consulting firm assisted in raising
$11,491,951 for the Company, for which the Company owed the consulting
firm
$1,149,195 in cash. Through December 31, 2007, the Company issued the
consulting
firm warrants to purchase a total of 2,500,000 shares of common stock
at an
exercise price of $0.60 per share and warrants to purchase a total
of 1,250,000
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.85 per share. As
of December
31, 2007, the Company had a balance due the consulting firm of $203,308
for
unpaid cash fees and expenses.

20 – GAIN (LOSS) ON DEBT RESTRUCTURING
For
the

on debt
restructuring due to $170,000 for the restructuring of a related party
debt. In
addition, on June 24, 2003, the Company issued a promissory note to

Marciniak, which was subsequently amended pursuant to a Letter Agreement,
dated
February 16, 2004. Following the closing of our reverse merger on July

this promissory note the Company cancelled in full in exchange for
our payment
of approximately $515,171 and the issuance of 429,310 shares of the
Company’s
common stock. This resulted in an additional loss of $188,054.
For
the

on debt
restructure described below. From 2002 through August 2006, the Company
operated
under a contract manufacturing, distribution and finance agreement
with Nephron
Pharmaceuticals Corporation, under which Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation
manufactured Albuterol 0.083% and Ipratropium 0.02% for the Company
to
thereafter sell under its own label. Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation
also
provided extended credit terms to the Company. In August 2006, the
Company
mutually agreed to terminate its agreement. In order to continue to
provide the
Company’s former customers with an uninterrupted supply of Albuterol 0.083%
and
Ipratropium 0.02%, the Company worked together with Nephron Pharmaceuticals
Corporation during the transition that established direct sales to
those
customers by Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation. As to each such customer,
Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation assumed any liability that the
Company may
have had for rebates of any type owed in relation to the service of
those
customers. In addition, Nephron Pharmaceuticals Corporation agreed
to assume all
chargeback balances specifically associated with servicing McKesson
Corporation,
Cardinal Health, Inc., AmerisourceBergen Corporation and Rochester
Drug
Cooperative, Inc. In exchange for the transition of the Company’s Albuterol
0.083% and Ipratropium 0.02% product lines to Nephron Pharmaceuticals
Corporation, and the future value of the sales and gross margins Nephron
Pharmaceuticals Corporation would receive from the direct sales of
Albuterol
0.083% and Ipratropium 0.02% to the Company’s former customers, Nephron forgave
all of the Company’s then owed outstanding balances. The total value of this
transaction resulted in a realized gain of $12,335,199 in the twelve
months
ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE
22 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),
Business
Combinations
.
This
statement replaces SFAS No. 141,
Business
Combinations
and
applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity (the
acquirer)
obtains control of one or more businesses (the acquiree), including
those
sometimes referred to as “true mergers” or “mergers of equals” and combinations
achieved without the transfer of consideration. This statement establishes
principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and
measures in
its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes
and
measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain
from a
bargain purchase; and c) determines what information to disclose to
enable users
of the financials statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects
of the
business combination. This statement will be effective for fiscal years,
and
interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December
15,
2008, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption
is prohibited. The Company currently is unable to determine what impact
the
future application of this pronouncement may have on its financial
statements.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160,
Noncontrolling
Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements
.
This
statement applies to all entities that prepare consolidated financial
statements, except not-for-profit organizations, and amends Accounting
Research
Bulletin (“ARB”) 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation
of a
subsidiary. It also amends certain of ARB 51’s consolidation procedures for
consistency with the requirements of SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007). This
statement
will be effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those
fiscal
years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008, or the Company’s fiscal year
beginning January 1, 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company
currently
is unable to determine what impact the future application of this pronouncement
may have on its financial statements.

FOR
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007 AND 2006
In
February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,
The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities -
Including an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
.
This
statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments
and
certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of SFAS No.
159 apply
only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment
to
SFAS No. 115
Accounting
for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities
applies
to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. SFAS
No. 159 is
effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after
November 15, 2007. The Company adopted SFAS No. 159 on January 1, 2008,
resulting in no financial statement impact.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS Statement No. 158,
Employers’
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement
Plans
.
This
new standard will require employers to fully recognize the obligations
associated with single-employer defined benefit pension, retiree healthcare
and
other postretirement plans in their financial statements. The Company
adopted
SFAS No. 158 on December 31, 2007, resulting in no financial statement
impact
since the Company currently does not sponsor the defined benefit pension
or
postretirement plans within the scope of the standard.
In
September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements
.
SFAS
No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair
value,
and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS
No. 157
requires companies to disclose the fair value of their financial instruments
according to a fair value hierarchy as defined in the standard. Additionally,
companies are required to provide enhanced disclosure regarding financial
instruments in one of the categories, including a reconciliation of
the
beginning and ending balances separately for each major category of
assets and
liabilities. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position
(FSP) No. FAS
157-2, which delays by one year the effective date of SFAS No. 157
for certain
types of non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities. As a result,
SFAS
No. 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal
years
beginning after November 15, 2007, or the Company’s fiscal year beginning
January 1, 2008, for financial assets and liabilities carried at fair
value on a
recurring basis, and on January 1, 2009, for non-recurring non-financial
assets
and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value.
The
Company adopted SFAS No. 157 on January 1, 2008, for financial assets
and
liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis, with no material
impact
on its financial statements.
The
Company is currently unable to determine what impact the application
of SFAS No.
157 on January 1, 2009, for non-recurring non-financial assets and
liabilities
that are recognized or disclosed at fair value, will have on its financial
statements.
In
March
2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156,
Accounting
for Servicing of Financial Assets.
This
statement amends SFAS 140,
Accounting
for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of
Liabilities
,
a
replacement of FASB Statement 125, or SFAS 140, regarding (1) the
circumstances under which a servicing asset or servicing liability
must be
recognized, (2) the initial and subsequent measurement of recognized
servicing assets and liabilities, and (3) information required to be
disclosed relating to servicing assets and liabilities. The Company
adopted this
standard on January 1, 2007, with no impact on its consolidated financial
statements.

In
February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155,
Accounting
for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,
or SFAS
155. This statement amends SFAS No. 133,
Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
,
to
narrow the scope exception for interest-only and principal-only strips
on debt
instruments to include only such strips representing rights to receive
a
specified portion of the contractual interest or principal cash flows.
SFAS 155
also amends SFAS 140 to allow qualifying special-purpose entities to
hold a
passive derivative financial instrument pertaining to beneficial interests
that
itself is a derivative financial instrument. The Company adopted this
standard
on January 1, 2007, with no impact on its consolidated financial
statements.
The
FASB
has issued Financial Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
- An
Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies
the
accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s
financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
Accounting
for Income Taxes
.
FIN 48
also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement standard for
the
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken
or
expected to be taken in a tax return. In addition, FIN 48 provides
guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in
interim
periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January
1,
2007, and the provisions of FIN 48 were applied to all tax positions
upon
initial adoption of this standard. There was no financial statement
impact of
adopting FIN 48.
EITF
No.
07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services
Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities”,
was
issued in June 2007. The EITF reached a consensus that nonrefundable
payments
for goods and services that will be used or rendered for future research
and
development activities should be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts
should
be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered and
the related
services are performed. Entities should continue to evaluate whether
they expect
the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered. If the entity
does not
expect the goods to be delivered or services to be rendered, the capitalized
advance payment should be charged to expense. This pronouncement is
effective
for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December
15,
2007 (the Company’s fiscal year beginning January 1, 2008) and interim periods
within those fiscal years. Earlier application is not permitted. Entities
are
required to report the effects of applying this pronouncement prospectively
for
new contracts entered into on or after the effective date of this pronouncement.
The future application of this pronouncement may have a material effect
on the
Company’s financial condition and results of operations.
In
June
2006, the FASB ratified EITF, No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers
and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the
Income
Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)”
.
EITF
No. 06-3 requires that, for interim and annual reporting periods beginning
after December 15, 2006, companies disclose their policy related to the
presentation of sales taxes and similar assessments related to their
revenue
transactions. The Company presents revenue net of sales taxes and any
similar
assessments. EITF No. 06-3 had no effect on the Company’s financial
position and results of operations. '
NOTE
23 – FDA APPROVAL
On
May 2,
2007, the FDA approved the generic pharmaceutical, Sevoflurane. Generic
Sevoflurane was the Company’s planned principal product for 2007 for the human
market. The Company has exclusive rights to market generic Sevoflurane
in the
United States. The launch of Sevoflurane is a key component of the
Company’s
business plan and the Company’s future plans are largely dependent on
successfully entering the market with this product and obtaining sufficient
market share against competing pharmaceuticals to achieve profitable
operations.
There is no assurance the Company will be successful in these
efforts.

NOTE
24 – INCOME TAXES - FIN 48 DISCLOSURE
In
2005,
the Company filed income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction,
and in
the states of Idaho, Texas, Kansas, Kentucky and New York. With few
exceptions,
the Company is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local,
or non-U.S.
income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2004. Tax
returns
for the states of New York, Kentucky and Kansas were not filed timely
for 2006.
Therefore the statute of limitations has not started to run on these
states.
There are outstanding liabilities that are owed to the states in the
amount of
$880 before accounting for accumulated penalties and interest.
The
Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
,
on
January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of Interpretation
48, the
Company recognized no increase in the liability for unrecognized tax
benefits.
The Company has large losses and the only adjustments necessary will
adjust the
amount of net operating loss available to the Company. The 2006 tax
return
reports a carryforward net operating loss amount of $3,749,242. This
amount
needs to be adjusted to reflect a balance of 2,890,649. The Company
will amend
the 2006 tax return to account for this difference. A reconciliation
of the
beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as
follows:

At
December 31, 2007, there are no tax positions for which there is uncertainty
about the timing of any tax deductions. Because of the impact of deferred
tax
accounting, other than interest and penalties, the disallowance of
the shorter
deductibility period would not affect the annual effective tax rate
but would
accelerate the payment of cash to the taxing authority to an earlier
period.
The
Company’s policy is to recognize interest accrued related to unrecognized tax
benefits in interest expense and penalties in operating expenses. During
the
year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recognized approximately
$13,576, in
interest and penalties.

FineTech
Acquisition and Gutman Agreement
On
January 4, 2008, the Company acquired all of the business and assets
of FineTech
Laboratories, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State
of Israel
(“FineTech”), other than certain specifically excluded assets, pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of January 4, 2008,
for an aggregate purchase price of $6,200,000. Pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, FineTech agreed to provide termination notice to all of
its employees
and the Company agreed simultaneously to present all such employees
an offer to
become the employees of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, FineTech
Pharmaceutical, Ltd., under terms similar to those applicable to their
employment by FineTech. FineTech specializes in the production of active
pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) for the pharmaceutical industry and in
collaborative research and development work and process
development.
In
connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company entered into an
Assignment
and Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2008 (the “Gutman
Agreement”), with Dr. Arie Gutman, the sole owner of FineTech. Pursuant to the
Gutman Agreement, Dr. Gutman agreed not to engage in certain activities
that
would be competitive with the business of the Company. The Gutman Agreement
also
provided for the assignment from Dr. Gutman to the Company of certain
royalty
rights that FineTech had granted Dr. Gutman. In consideration for Dr.
Gutman’s
non-competition undertaking and assignment of royalty rights, the Gutman
Agreement provided that the Company issue to Dr. Gutman 18,632,383
unregistered
shares of common stock of the Company (the “Gutman Shares”), which were valued
by the parties at $21,054,592 in the aggregate (or $1.13 per share).
These
shares were issued on January 22, 2008.
The
Gutman Agreement further provided that Dr. Gutman will not transfer
any of the
Gutman Shares until January 4, 2010, except to a Permitted Transferee
(as
defined in the Gutman Agreement). In addition, the Gutman Agreement
provided
that the Company would use its best efforts to appoint Dr. Gutman or
his nominee
as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors. On February 7, 2008, the Board
of Directors voted to appoint Dr. Gutman to the Company’s Board of
Directors.
The
Company and Dr. Gutman also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement,
dated
as of January 4, 2008, pursuant to which the Company granted Dr. Gutman
certain
registration rights with respect to the Gutman Shares.
Issuance
of Common Shares and Warrants
On
January 21, 2008, in connection with a five-year employment agreement
with its
new Senior Vice President of New Business Development, the Company
granted an
option to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise
price equal to $0.46. The option
vests
as
to 50% of the shares subject to the option on the first anniversary
and 50%
thereafter in four equal quarterly installments
.
On
January 11, 2008, in connection with a three-year employment agreement
with its
new Vice President of Finance, the Company granted an option to purchase
75,000

On
January 30, 2008, the Company entered into a one year consulting agreement
with
MLF Group LLC (“
MLF
”),
pursuant to which the Company engaged MLF as a financial consultant
(i) to
assist us in preparing an analysis of our business and industry for
investors,
underwriters and business partners, (ii) to revise and/or draft and
documents
that may be necessary in its efforts to secure new equity investors
and to seek
potential merger candidates and (iii) to help the Company seek additional
business relationships. As consideration for these services, we agreed
to pay
MLF $500,000.00 and to issue MLF 1,000,000 shares of common stock.
Due
to
the Company’s failure to make certain payments to Core Tech Solutions, Inc.
(“
CoreTech
”)
totaling $800,000, on February 1, 2008, Core Tech elected to terminate
a
partnership agreement, entered into on November 7, 2006 and amended
on December
27, 2007. Pursuant to the Core Tech Agreement, the Company was developing
a
generic transdermal patch product with Core Tech under which Core Tech
was to
develop, test and manufacture certain transdermal patch products with
respect to
which the Company was to be the exclusive worldwide distributor under
its own
label. In addition, under the Core Tech Agreement, the Company had
a right of
first refusal with respect to any other generic patch products developed
by Core
Tech during the term of the agreement.
On
February 7, 2008, the Company granted a new member of its Board of
Directors an
option to purchase 400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.49 per
share. The option vests 25% per year over four years.

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March

(Unaudited)
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND MERGER
We
develop and market generic prescription drug products in specialty
generic
markets in the areas of anesthesia, sterile liquid dose drugs (which
includes
ophthalmic and sterile inhalation respiratory products and injectible
drugs) and
active pharmaceutical ingredients (API).
We
were
formed as a Delaware limited liability company in November 2001 for
the purpose
of providing customized computing and communications services and
solutions for
small to medium-sized businesses. On August 24, 2005, we were converted
into a
Delaware corporation and changed our name from Southridge Technology
Group, LLC
to Southridge Technology Group, Inc. On July 13, 2007, we completed
a reverse
merger, pursuant to which a wholly-owned subsidiary of ours merged
with and into
a privately held Delaware corporation engaged in the development
and marketing
of generic pharmaceuticals, RxElite Holdings Inc., with the private
company
being the surviving company. In connection with the reverse merger,
we
discontinued our former business and succeeded to the business of
RxElite
Holdings Inc. as our sole line of business. For financial reporting
purposes,
RxElite Holdings Inc., and not us, is considered the accounting acquirer.
Accordingly, the historical financial statements presented and the
discussion of
financial condition and results of operations herein are those of
RxElite
Holdings Inc. and do not include our historical financial results.
Our July 13,
2007 merger is being accounted for as a reverse acquisition and recapitalization
of RxElite Holdings Inc. for financial accounting purposes. Consequently,
the
assets and liabilities and the historical operations reflected in
the financial
statements prior to the merger are those of RxElite Holdings Inc.
and recorded
at the historical cost basis of RxElite Holdings, and the consolidated
financial
statements after completion of the merger includes our assets and
liabilities
and the assets and liabilities of RxElite Holdings Inc., historical
operations
of RxElite Holdings Inc. and our operations from the closing date
of the
merger.
On
October 29, 2007, we amended our certificate of incorporation to
change our name
to “RxElite, Inc.” from “Southridge Technology Group, Inc.” and to increase the
number of shares of authorized capital stock to 201,000,000, divided
into two
classes: 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per
share, and
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share.
Prior to the
amendment, the number of shares of authorized capital stock was 99,000,000,
divided into two classes: 98,000,000 shares of common stock, par
value $0.001
per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001
per
share.
On
January 4, 2008, our wholly owned subsidiary, FineTech Pharmaceutical
Ltd.
(formerly known as RxElite Israel Ltd.), a company organized under
the laws of
the State of Israel (“FineTech Pharmaceutical”), entered into an asset purchase
agreement pursuant to which it purchased substantially all of the
assets of
FineTech Laboratories, Ltd., a privately held company organized under
the laws
of the State of Israel (“FineTech”).

NOTES
TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
NOTE
2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The
interim financial information of the Company as of March 31, 2008 and March
31, 2007 is unaudited. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 is derived
from audited financial statements. The accompanying condensed consolidated
financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States of America for interim
financial statements. Accordingly, they omit or condense footnotes
and certain
other information normally included in financial statements prepared
in
accordance with GAAP. The accounting policies followed for quarterly
financial
reporting conform to the accounting policies disclosed in Note
2 to the Notes to
Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2007. In the
opinion of
management, all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation
of the
financial information for the interim period reported have been
made. All such
adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations
for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative
of the results
that can be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2008.
The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction
with
the Company’s audited financial statements and the notes thereto for the year
ended December 31, 2007.
NOTE
3 - GOING CONCERN
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared
assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred
losses
since inception and may continue to incur losses for the foreseeable
future. The
Company’s business plan anticipates that its near future activities will
be
funded from the issuance of additional equity or debt and funds
provided by
ongoing operations.
Immediately
following the Reverse Merger, which we completed on July 13, 2007,
the Company
raised $10,703,092 of equity capital and converted $1,899,273 of
convertible
debentures through the issuance of 21,003,959 units in a private placement.
In addition, the Company raised additional gross proceeds in the
amount of $10,500,000 through the sale of shares of our common
stock, a senior secured convertible note and related common stock
warrants completed on December 31, 2007.
If
sales
are insufficient to support planned development of new products
and expansion of
operations, the Company will need to access additional equity or
debt capital.
If public or private financing is not available when needed or
is not available
on terms acceptable to the Company, the Company’s growth and revenue-generating
plans may be materially impaired. Such results could have a material
adverse
effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and future
prospects. The consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments
that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
NOTE
4 – ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
At
December 31, 2007, the Company’s accounts receivable was $494,762, net of
allowances for doubtful accounts and payment discounts of $4,092,
and $3,914,
respectively. At March 31, 2008, the Company’s accounts receivable was
$2,176,346, net of allowances for doubtful accounts and payment
discounts of
$4,242, and $50,840, respectively.
NOTE
5 – RELATED PARTY ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had an accounts receivable from
a related party
of $465,378. The receivable is due from a supplier. At March 31,
2008, the
Company continued to have $262,578 of this receivable outstanding.
In March
2008, the Company received product from our supplier worth $202,800.
The amount
of the received product was offset against the then outstanding
receivable
amount.

NOTE
8 – GOODWILL
Goodwill
represents the excess of the valuation of the assets purchased from
FineTech
Laboratories, Ltd. The Company accounts for its goodwill in accordance
with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142)
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets
,
which
requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment annually or
whenever events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an
asset may not
be recoverable, rather than amortize.
The
entire goodwill balance of $10,678,793 at March 31, 2008, which is
not fully
deductible for tax purposes due to the purchase being completed partially
through the exchange of stock, is related to the Company's acquisition
of assets
from FineTech Laboratories, Ltd. completed on January 4, 2008. With
the
acquisition of assets and employees from FineTech Laboratories, Ltd.,
the
Company gained the affect of FineTech Laboratories’ reputation for product
development in the industry. Furthermore, the Company gained renowned
PhD staff
that have the ability to develop active pharmaceutical ingredients
(APIs) and
solve complex issues within the industry.

NOTE
8 – GOODWILL (CONT.)
The
provisions of SFAS 142 require that a two-step impairment test be
performed
annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the
carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The first step
of the test
for impairment compares the book value of the Company to its estimated
fair
value. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, which is
only required
when the net book value of the item exceeds the fair value, compares
the implied
fair value of goodwill to its book value to determine if an impairment
is
required.
NOTE

13 – TERMINATION OF DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
In
March
2008, the Company executed an Acknowledgement regarding the termination
of an
agreement between the Company and Core Tech Solutions, Inc. to develop
a
Fentanyl transdermal system. The outstanding accounts payable to
Core Tech was
$800,000 at December 31, 2007. As of the date of the Acknowledgement,
the
Company no longer owed the amount to Core Tech. As a result, the
Company
recognized other income in the amount of $800,000 for the quarter
ended March
31, 2008.
Pursuant
to the agreement, the Company may have a contingent asset for reimbursement
of
amounts previously paid to Core Tech in the amount of $2,200,000.
The amount of
this contingency is not recorded on the financial statements of the
Company because it is dependent upon the occurrence of one or more future
events. This amount could be reimbursed to the Company within three years
of FDA approval and commencement of sales of the Fentanyl transdermal
system, or
equivalent. However, the amount will not be reimbursed to the Company
unless
Core Tech is able to sign an equivalent partnership agreement with
an alternate
manufacturing and distribution entity prior to March 31, 2009.

14 – LOSS PER SHARE
The
computation of basic loss per common share is based on the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. The computation of loss per
common share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period plus the weighted average common stock equivalents
which would
arise from the exercise of stock options and warrants outstanding
and the
conversion of convertible debentures using the treasury stock method
and the
average market price per share during the period
.
A
reconciliation of the number of shares used in the computation of
the Company’s
basic and diluted earnings (loss) per common share is as follows:

NOTE
15 – ASSET ACQUISITION
On
January 4, 2008, the Company acquired all of the assets of FineTech
Laboratories, Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State
of Israel
(“FineTech”), other than certain specifically excluded assets, pursuant to an
Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of January 4, 2008,
for an aggregate purchase price of $27,254,593, comprised of $6,200,000
cash and
18,632,383 shares of common stock valued
at
$1.13 per share. The purchase price of the assets was determined
by review of
other transactions within the industry and mutually agreed upon by
both
parties.
The
purchased assets of FineTech are used and will be used in the future
to develop
active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs). The
API
products produced in our facility are marketed and sold through direct
contact
with leading pharmaceutical companies worldwide, and through participation
in
major international chemical and pharmaceutical conferences.
The
companies that compete with our API business include Teva Pharmaceuticals
Industries, Ltd., Aurobindo Pharma India and several international
chemical
companies. Cabergoline accounts for the majority of the API sales.
The sales
cycle for APIs is usually 6-18 months. We are working to diversify
our API
customer base in 2008 and 2009 by offering our API products that
are primarily
sold in the U.S. to non-U.S. markets that have similar regulations,
product
demand and numbers of competitors.
Pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement, FineTech agreed to provide termination
notice to all
of its employees and the Company agreed simultaneously to present all
such employees an offer to become the employees of the Company, under
terms
similar to those applicable to their employment by FineTech.
As
part
of the purchase, on January 4, 2008, the Company entered into an
Employment
Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) with Dr. Arie L. Gutman, engaging Dr.
Gutman to serve as the President of RxElite’s wholly owned subsidiary, FineTech
Pharmaceutical Ltd., a company organized under the laws of the State
of Israel
which holds the assets acquired and operates the business.

NOTE
15 – ASSET ACQUISITION (CONT.)
The
initial term of the Employment Agreement is three years and may be
extended by
the mutual agreement of both RxElite and Dr. Gutman. Pursuant to
the Employment
Agreement, Dr. Gutman is to receive an annual base salary of $190,000,
which may
be increased annually as determined by the Board of Directors of
RxElite (the
“Board”). Dr. Gutman will be entitled to receive a bonus of up to thirty
percent
(30%) of his base salary, to be determined by the Board in its sole
discretion.
Dr. Gutman is eligible for grants of options, restricted stock and/or
other
awards under the RxElite, Inc. 2007 Incentive Stock Plan. The Employment
Agreement provides that any such option grants shall immediately
vest if Dr.
Gutman’s employment is terminated by RxElite without cause or upon the
occurrence of a Change of Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement)
of
RxElite.
RxElite
may terminate Dr. Gutman’s employment for cause (as defined in the Employment
Agreement) 30 days after RxElite notifies Dr. Gutman of the cause,
provided that
such cause has not been remedied during such 30 days period. RxElite
may also
terminate Dr. Gutman’s employment without cause at any time upon 30 days prior
written notice. If Dr. Gutman’s employment is terminated without cause, then (i)
any unvested stock options held by Dr. Gutman shall immediately vest,
(ii)
RxElite will be obligated to continue to pay Dr. Gutman his then
current annual
base salary for a period of twelve (12) months, and (iii) RxElite
shall
reimburse Dr. Gutman for the costs of obtaining benefits comparable
to those
that he received while employed by RxElite, until twelve (12) months
following
his termination or, if sooner, until such time as Dr. Gutman obtains
other
employment that provides comparable benefits. Dr. Gutman may voluntarily
terminate his employment under the Employment Agreement upon 270
days prior
written notice to RxElite, if such termination occurs during the
initial three
year term, or upon 60 days notice, if such termination occurs thereafter.
Upon
RxElite’s receipt of any such notice of voluntary termination by Dr. Gutman,
RxElite may accelerate the resignation to an earlier date. Under
the Employment
Agreement, Dr. Gutman is prohibited from competing with RxElite and
any of its
subsidiaries during the term of employment and for one year after
any
termination of his employment.
In
connection with the Purchase Agreement, RxElite entered into an Assignment
&
Non-Competition Agreement, dated as of January 4, 2008 (the “Gutman Agreement”),
with Dr. Arie Gutman, an Israeli citizen and the sole owner of FineTech.
Pursuant to the Gutman Agreement, Dr. Gutman agreed not to engage
in certain
activities that would be competitive with the business of RxElite
or its
subsidiaries. The Gutman Agreement also provided for the assignment
from Dr.
Gutman to RxElite of certain royalty rights that FineTech had granted
Dr.
Gutman. In consideration for Dr. Gutman’s non-competition undertaking and
assignment of royalty rights, the Gutman Agreement provided that
RxElite issue
to Dr. Gutman 18,632,383 unregistered shares (the “Gutman Shares”) of common
stock of RxElite, par value $0.001 per share, at a stated price of
$1.13 per
share. The issuance of the Gutman Shares was not registered under
the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any
state, and such securities were offered and sold in reliance on the
exemption
from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule
506) under the
Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws,
which
exempt transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering.
The
Gutman Agreement further provided that Dr. Gutman shall not transfer
any of the
Gutman Shares until January 4, 2010, except to a Permitted Transferee
(as
defined in the Gutman Agreement). In addition, the Gutman Agreement
provided
that RxElite would use its best efforts to appoint Dr. Gutman or
his nominee as
a member of the Board of Directors of RxElite.
RxElite
and Dr. Gutman also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
(the
“Registration Rights Agreement”), dated as of January 4, 2008, pursuant to which
RxElite granted Dr. Gutman certain registration rights with respect
to the
Gutman Shares. The Registration Rights Agreement permits Dr. Gutman,
commencing
on January 4, 2010, to demand up to two registrations (or more, under
certain
circumstances) of all of the Gutman Shares and any other securities
that may be
issued to Dr. Gutman or a permitted transferee by virtue of the Gutman
Shares
(collectively, the “Registerable Securities”). In addition to the demand
registration rights described above, the Registration Rights Agreement
also
provides for “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to the Registerable
Securities, commencing on January 4, 2010.

The
total
consideration paid in stock and cash was $27,254,593. The stock issued
was
valued for financial statement purposes in accordance with EITF 99-12
at $0.715
per share, reducing the total amount of the investment to $19,530,139.
The
consideration paid was first allocated to the assets based on the
valuation in
accordance with SFAS 142 and 141. The total amount allocated to the
assets for
the purchase was $9,037,846. This amount is comprised of $3,096,350
paid for
fixed assets and $5,547,600 paid for the intellectual property and
the
non-compete agreement, as well as $393,896 paid for the inventory.
The inventory
was valued based on the audited cost value at December 31, 2007.
The Company
also incurred $186,500 in acquisition costs for the transaction.
This brought
the total purchase price to $19,716,639.
The
excess $10,678,793 of the consideration paid was attributed to goodwill.
The
goodwill is attributed to the reputation of the FineTech product
in the
industry. Furthermore, the goodwill is attributed to the ability
of the renowned
PhD staff to develop APIs, solve complex issues within the industry,
and work
out new processes for APIs without infringing upon any existing patents.
An
impairment test for goodwill will be undertaken when new circumstances
arise,
but no less than annually in accordance with SFAS 142.
The
results of operations shown in our financial statements are on a
consolidated
basis for the period ended March 31, 2008. The results of operations
for the
period ended March 31, 2007 and the year ended December 31, 2007

18 - RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
Assets and Financial Liabilities (“SFAS No. 159”).
SFAS No. 159 permits companies to elect to follow fair value
accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities in an effort
to mitigate
volatility in earnings without having to apply complex hedge accounting
provisions. The standard also establishes presentation and disclosure
requirements designed to facilitate comparison between entities that
choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and
liabilities.
SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007.
In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations
and SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interest
in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51. These new
standards will significantly change the accounting for and reporting
of business
combinations and non-controlling (minority) interests in consolidated
financial
statements. Statement Nos. 141(R) and 160 are required to be adopted
simultaneously and are effective for the first annual reporting period
beginning
on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company
does not expect the adoption of this Issue to have a material impact
on its
consolidated financial statements.
In
June
2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ratified EITF Issue
No. 07-3, which clarifies the method and timing for recognition of
nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services to be used
or rendered in
future research and development activities pursuant to an executory
contractual
arrangement. In particular, it addresses whether nonrefundable advance
payments
for goods or services that will be used or rendered for research
and development
activities should be expensed when the advance payment is made or
when the
research and development activity has been performed. The consensus
in this
Issue is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning
after December 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years.
Earlier application is not permitted.
Other
recently issued FASB Statements or Interpretations, Securities and
Exchange
Commission, or SEC, Staff Accounting Bulletins, and AICPA Emerging

Force Consensuses have either been implemented or are not applicable

NOTE
19 – LOSS ON NOTE CONVERSION RATE CHANGE
As
previously reported in our filings with the SEC, on December 31,
2007, we
entered into a securities purchase agreement with Castlerigg Master
Investments
Ltd., pursuant to which we sold 5,594,033 shares of our common stock,
a 9.50% senior secured redeemable convertible note in the
principal amount of $10,500,000 (“Convertible Note”), a Series A warrant to
purchase up to 13,985,083 shares of our common stock (“Series A Warrant”), and a
Series B warrant to purchase up to 4,661,694 shares of our common
stock (“Series
B Warrant”, and together with the Series A Warrant, “Warrants”) for
aggregate gross proceeds of $10,500,000 (“Securities Purchase Agreement”). To
secure our obligations under the Convertible Note, we granted the
selling
stockholder a first priority perfected security interest in all of
our assets
and properties, together with all of the assets and properties of RxElite
Holdings Inc., including the stock of RxElite Holdings Inc. On January 18,
2008, we entered into a letter agreement with the investor, pursuant
to which we
amended certain terms of the Convertible Note, the Series A Warrant
and the
Series B Warrant.
The
Convertible Note matures on December 31, 2009, which date may be
extended at the
option of the note holder as described below. The entire outstanding
principal
balance and any outstanding fees or interest are due and payable
in full on the
maturity date. The Convertible Note bears interest at the rate of
9.50% per
annum, which rate may be increased to 15% upon the occurrence of
an event of
default, as described below. Interest on the Convertible Note is
payable
quarterly beginning on April 1, 2008 and we have made our initial
interest
payment.

(Unaudited)
NOTE
19 – LOSS ON NOTE CONVERSION RATE CHANGE (CONT.)
The
Convertible Note
is
convertible at the option of the note holder into shares of our common
stock at
an initial conversion price of $1.1262 per share, subject to adjustment
for
stock splits, combinations or similar events and for other price
protection
events on a “full ratchet” basis. Based upon a conversion price of
$1.1262, the Convertible Note would be convertible into an aggregate
of
9,323,388 shares of Common Stock.
In
addition to the adjustments to the conversion price described above, under
the terms of the Convertible Note, if we failed to record consolidated
EBITDA,
as defined in the Convertible Note, of at least (i) ($1,000,000) for the
fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008, the conversion price shall be reset
to the lower of (A) the then current conversion price or (B) 85%
of the average
market price, as defined in the Convertible Note, of the common stock at
such time.
As
of
March 31, 2008, we failed to satisfy the EBITDA ratio and as a result,
the
conversion price of the Convertible Note was adjusted downward from
$1.1262 to
an estimated price of $0.24 per share. Based upon the new conversion
price, if the Convertible Note were converted in full, we would be
required to
issue 44,435,040 shares of Common Stock to the holder of the Convertible
Note. These new shares would represent approximately 38% of our then
outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding the new conversion
price, under the terms of the Note and Warrants, the investor cannot
convert the
Note or exercise any warrants to the extent that such conversion
or exercise
would result in the investor holding in excess of 4.99% of our
outstanding common stock. Since the investor presently holds
5,594,033 shares of our common stock, it could not convert the convertible
Note
for an amount that would exceed 210,101 shares, based upon 116,315,303
shares
outstanding prior to such conversion.
In
accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-27
Application
of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments
,
("EITF
00-27"), the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $3,755,678 to
loss on note
conversion and an increase in the debt discount of $55,848 for the
period ended
March 31, 2008. The non-cash charge measures the difference between
the relative
fair value of the Note with a conversion price of $1.1262 and an
estimated
conversion price of $0.24. The conversion price was estimated using
a descent of 15% from the average trading price of the Company’s
common stock for the last 20 trading days.
As
such,
the Company revalued the convertible debenture based on the amended
terms of the
Convertible Note. Accordingly, $55,848 was allocated to Debt Discount,
$3,755,678 to Loss on Note Conversion Rate Change, and $3,811,526
was allocated
to the equity component of the Note.

NOTE
20 - AMENDMENT TO CONVERTIBLE NOTE
The
Company obtained a waiver from Castlerigg Master Investments,
Ltd., the holder
of its Convertible Note, on January 18, 2008. The waiver was
with respect to the
issuance of up to 1,000,000 at $0.46 per share for a consulting
agreement (see
Note 11). The definition of “Excluded Securities” (as defined in the Note) with
respect to anti-dilution price protection in both the Note and
the Warrants was
expanded to include the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares of
common stock that
may be issued to consultants during the fiscal quarter ending
March 31,
2008.
NOTE
21 - SUPPLEMENTAL STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
To
the Shareholders of
FINETECH
LABORATORIES LTD.
We
have
audited the accompanying balance sheet of Finetech Laboratories Ltd.
(the
“Company”) as of December 31, 2007, and the related statements of operations,
changes in the shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December
31, 2007 and 2006. 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 audit.
We
conducted our audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally
accepted
in the 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. We were not engaged to perform an audit
of the
Company's 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,
and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe
that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In
our
opinion, based on our audit, the financial statements referred to
above, present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company
as of
December 31, 2007, and the results of its operations and cash flows
for the
years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting
principles
generally accepted in the United States.

Financial
statements in U.S. dollars:
|
The
currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations
of the
Company are conducted is the U.S. dollar. Most of the revenues are
denominated
and earned in U.S. dollars, and most purchases of materials and components
are
made in U.S. dollars, Financing and investing activities, including
equity
transactions and cash investments, are made in U.S. dollars and most
of its
assets are denominated in U.S. dollars. Thus, the functional and
reporting
currency of the Company is the U.S. dollar.
Accordingly,
monetary accounts maintained in currencies other than the U.S. dollar
are
remeasured into U.S. dollars in accordance with the Statement of
Financial
Accounting Standard Board No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation"
("SFAS No.
52"). All transaction gains and losses of the remeasured monetary
balance sheet
items are reflected in the statement of operations as financial income
or
expenses, as appropriate.
The
Company considers all highly liquid investments, which are convertible
to cash
with maturities of three months or less at their acquisition date,
as cash
equivalents.
Inventories
are stated at the lower of cost or market value. Inventory write-offs
are
provided for slow-moving items or technological obsolescence.
Cost
is
determined as follows:
Raw
materials – first in first out (FIFO) method.
Finished
products – using the weighted average method and calculated manufacturing
costs.

Impairment
of long-lived assets:
|
The
Company's long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles
are reviewed
for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the
Impairment or
Disposal of Long Lived Assets", whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount 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 an asset to the future undiscounted cash flows expected to be
generated by
the assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment
to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount
of the assets
exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are
reported at
the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
During the
years 2007 and 2006, no impairment losses have been identified.
The
Company generates its revenues m
ainly
from sales of chemical compounds for the use in the manufacturing
of
pharmaceutical products and from granting an exclusive right of
supply.
Revenues
from chemical compounds
are
recognized upon delivery in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 104
"Revenue Recognition" ("SAB 104"), when persuasive evidence of an
agreement
exists, delivery of the product has occurred, the fee is fixed or
determinable
and collectibility is probable. The Company does not have any significant
obligations after delivery.
Amounts
received from granting exclusive rights to the manufacturing and
production
outputs of cabergoline (the Company’s main product) are recognized throughout
the terms period.
The
Company also generates revenues from sales of professional services
including
consulting. Service revenues are recognized as work is performed.

Accounting
for stock based compensation:
|
On
January 1, 2006, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123(R)")
which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense
based on
estimated fair values for all share-based payment awards made to
employees and
directors. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB No. 25 and amends SFAS 95,
“Statement of
Cash Flows”, for periods beginning in fiscal year 2006. In March 2005, the
Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 107
("SAB 107"), which was prolonged by SAB 110, relating to SFAS 123(R).
The
Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of
SFAS
123(R).

SFAS
123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of equity-based
payment
awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value
of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized
as an

operations.
The
Company adopted SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition
method,

from
January 1, 2006.
The
Company recognizes compensation expenses for the value of its options
based on

Concentration
of credit risk:
|
Financial
instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations
of credit
risk consist principally of cash and trade receivables. The majority
of the
Company's cash is invested in major bank in the U.K. Management believes
that
the financial institution that hold the Company’s investments are financially
sound and accordingly, minimal credit risk exists with respect to
this
investment.
The
Company’s trade receivables are derived from sales to customers located mainly
in the United States and Israel. The Company performs ongoing credit
evaluations
of its customers and to date has not experienced any material losses.
An
allowance for doubtful accounts is determined with respect to those
amounts that
the Company has determined to be doubtful of collection and by a
general
reserve.
The
Company has no off balance sheet concentrations of credit risk such
as foreign
exchange contracts, option contracts or other foreign hedging arrangements.
The
Company's liability for severance pay is calculated pursuant to Israeli
severance pay law based on the most recent salary of the employees
multiplied by
the number of years of employment, as of the balance sheet date.
Employees are
entitled to one month's salary for each year of employment or a portion
thereof.
The Company's liability for all of its employees is fully provided
by monthly
deposits with insurance policies and by an accrual.

In
February 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) issued
Statement No. 159. “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities” including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115
(“SFAS 159”), which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect
fair
value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain
financial
assets and liabilities under an instrument-by-instrument
election. If the
fair value option is elected for an instrument, subsequent
changes in fair
value for that instrument will be recognized in earnings.
SFAS 159 also
establishes additional disclosure requirements and is effective
for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007.
|
The
Company is currently evaluating the effect that the application of
SFAS 159 will
have on its results of operations and financial condition.
|
(2)
|
In
September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value
Measurements“ (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted
accounting
principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS
157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that
require or permit
fair value measurements. SFAS 157 will be effective for
fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods
within those fiscal
years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that
the application
of SFAS 157 will have on its results of operations and
financial
position.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling
Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements. SFAS 160 amends Accounting
Research
Bulletin 51, Consolidated Financial Statements, to establish
accounting
and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest
in a subsidiary
and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It also clarifies
that a
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership
interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in
the consolidated
financial statements. SFAS 160 also changes the way the
consolidated
income statement is presented by requiring consolidated
net income to be
reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable
to both the
parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires
disclosure, on
the face of the consolidated statement of income, of the
amounts of
consolidated net income attributable to the parent and
to the
noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 requires that a parent
recognize a gain
or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated
and requires
expanded disclosures in the consolidated financial statements
that clearly
identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent
owners and
the interests of the noncontrolling owners of a subsidiary.
|
SFAS
160
is effective for fiscal periods, and interim periods within those
fiscal years,
beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not
permitted.
The

On
December 21, 2007 the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 110
("SAB 110"), which, effective January 1, 2008, amends and
replaces SAB
107, Share-Based Payment. SAB 110 expresses the views of
the SEC staff
regarding the use of a “simplified” method in developing an estimate of
expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with FASB
Statement No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. Under the “simplified” method,
the expected term is calculated as the midpoint between
the vesting date
and the end of the contractual term of the option. The
use of the
“simplified” method, which was first described in Staff Accounting
Bulletin No. 107, was scheduled to expire on December 31,
2007. SAB 110
extends the use of the “simplified” method for “plain vanilla” awards in
certain situations. The SEC staff does not expect the “simplified” method
to be used when sufficient information regarding exercise
behavior, such
as historical exercise data or exercise information from
external sources,
becomes available.

In
December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141(R), Business Combinations.
This
Statement replaces SFAS 141, Business Combinations, and
requires an
acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities
assumed,
including those arising from contractual contingencies,
any contingent
consideration, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree
at the
acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that
date, with
limited exceptions specified in the statement. SFAS 141(R)
also requires
the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages
(sometimes
referred to as a step acquisition) to recognize the identifiable
assets
and liabilities, as well as the noncontrolling interest
in the acquiree,
at the full amounts of their fair values (or other amounts
determined in
accordance with SFAS 141(R)). In addition, SFAS 141(R)'s
requirement to
measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at
fair value will
result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the
noncontrolling
interest in addition to that attributable to the acquirer.
SFAS 141(R)
amends SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to require
the acquirer
to recognize changes in the amount of its deferred tax
benefits that are
recognizable because of a business combination either in
income from
continuing operations in the period of the combination
or directly in
contributed capital, depending on the circumstances. It
also amends SFAS
142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to provide,
among other things,
guidance on the impairment testing of acquired research
and development
intangible assets and assets that the acquirer intends
not to use. SFAS
141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for
which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first
annual
reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Early adoption
is not permitted.

In
June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB
interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109” ("FIN 48”).
FIN 48 establishes a single model to address accounting for
uncertain
tax positions. FIN 48 clarified the accounting for income
taxes by
prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position
is required
to meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
FIN 48 also
provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification,
interest
and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure
and transition.
|
FIN
48
will apply to private Companies for fiscal years beginning after
January 1,
2008.
The
Company is currently evaluating the impact that this pronouncement
may have on
its financial position and result of operations.

AND CONTINGENCEIS
(CONT.)
|
In
the
event the Company will decide to terminate the operating lease agreement,
it
must provide 90 days prior notice. In connection with the Purchase
Agreement
with RxElite, the Company intends to assign its lease agreement to
the
purchaser.

The
Company is obligated to pay royalties to the OCS in respect
of government
participation in research and development expenses, calculated
at rates of
3%-3.5% of sales of the products developed with the Government's
participation up to the dollar amount of such participation
with the
addition of interest or a higher amount under certain circumstances.
The
balance of the royalty obligation at December 31, 2007, is
approximately $ 2.4 million to be paid in respect of future sales of
these products.
|
Subsequent
to balance sheet date and in connection with the Purchase Agreement,
the Company
submitted a request to transfer all rights and obligations related
to the OCS,
to the purchaser.
|
c.
|
On
December 31, 2006, the Company signed an agreement with
a third party to
purchase certain know-how (the “Know-How”). In consideration for the
Know-How, the Company committed to pay royalties of 2.5%
of all revenues
from the sale of a product manufactured with the Know-How
and granted
350,000 warrants to the Company’s shares (See Note
7(c)).

SHAREHOLDERS’
EQUITY
|
On
January 5, 2006, PAR converted its capital note, in the amount of
$ 4.2 million
into Ordinary shares.
In
connection with the share Transfer Agreement with PAR, the Company
classified an
amount of $10.7 million which was paid by PAR in previous years and
was recorded
as receipts on account of shares to additional paid in capital.
On
April
16, 2006 the Company issued to Dr. Arie Gutman 4,904,686 Ordinary
shares at no
consideration. Since Dr. Arie Gutman owned 100% of the outstanding
shares of the
Company before the issuance of these shares, the issuance of such
shares has
been accounted for as a stock dividend.
In
September 2006, 1,000,000 shares were issued to an investor in consideration
for
$3,500 thousands.
In
October 2007, the Company has acquired back these 1,000,000 shares
in
consideration for $2,090 thousands.
In
November 2006, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan,
pursuant to
which 300,000 options will be granted to the Company's employees.
The options
are exercisable into up to 300,000 Ordinary shares with an exercise
price of
$3.5 per share. Through December 31, 2006, 236,000 options were granted to
the Company's employees. During 2007, no options were granted.
The option plan
was carried out pursuant to section 102 to the Income Tax Ordinance.

Share
Option Plan (Cont.):

The
eligibility of the Company's employees to exercise the options
will be executed
in portions: 20% of the options will become exercisable beginning
at the end of
one year from the allocation date. The balance of the options
will become
exercisable during 48 additional months, an equal portion at
the end of each
month. The contractual life of the options is 10 years from the
date of
grant.
The
fair
value of the options issued in December 31, 2006, was $404 thousands
as of the
grant date.
In
connection with the Purchase Agreement with RxElite, all of the Company’s
employees which were awarded options to purchase ordinary shares
of the Company
signed on employment termination agreement according to which the
employees
waived any rights with respect to these options. As such, all granted
options
were cancelled.

Warrants
to non-employees:
|
In
connection with the agreement signed to purchase Know-How, on
December 31, 2006,
the Company granted to a third party 350,000 warrants in two
equal installments
of 175,000 warrants each, at an exercise price per share of $3.5.
The first
installment of 175,000 warrants vested immediately at grant date.
The second
installment of 175,000 warrants will vest upon submission of
a dossier for a
certain product by the Company to any regulatory agency. The
contractual life of
the options is 5 years. As of December 31, 2007, the Company’s management
estimated that the performance conditions will not be achieved.
As such, no
expenses were recorded regarding these warrants in
2007.
The
fair
value of the warrants as of the grant date was estimated using
the Black-Scholes
option pricing model with the following assumptions: risk-free
interest rate of
4.5%, expected dividend yield of 0%, expected volatility of 50%
and contractual
life of 5 years. As of the grant date the fair value of the fully
vested options
issued was $299 thousands. In 2006 the Company recorded all the
amount as
research and development expenses.
According
to the agreement, the second installment of the warrants will terminate
immediately prior to any closing of an acquisition or sale of the
Company or its
assets. As detailed in Note 1, on January 4, 2008, RxElite acquired
all of the
business and assets of the Company. Consequently, these performance
based
warrants were forfeited.
Subsequent
to the balance sheet date and in connection with RxElite Purchase
Agreement, the
third party notified the Company that it has no intent to exercise
its vested
warrants granted as part of this agreement.

Tax
laws applicable to the
Company:
|
The
provisions of the Income Tax (Inflationary Adjustments) Law, 1985
apply to the
Company. According to the law, the results for tax purposes are measured
based
on the changes in the Israeli CPI.
The
Company has been granted Approved Enterprise status for four expansions
of its
facility.
Under
the
terms of the approval of the first, second and third expansions,
income derived
from the Approved Enterprises status of the expansions is subject
to a reduced
income tax rate of 25% for periods ending in 2007, assuming the percentage
of
holdings of foreign investors in the Company is less than 25% of
total
holdings.
Under
the
terms of the approval of the fourth expansion, income derived from
the Approved
Enterprises status of the expansions is tax exempt for a period of
two years and
subject to a reduced income tax rate of 25% for an additional period
of five
years assuming the percentage of holdings of foreign investors in
the Company is
less than 25% of total holdings. Due to operating losses for tax
purposes, the
benefit period of the fourth expansion has not yet begun.
If
the
percentage of holdings of foreign investors exceeds 25%, the Company
will be
entited to additional three years of tax benefits.
If
the
percentage of holdings of foreign investors exceeds 49%, a reduced
tax rate of
down to 10% may apply at the benefit period subject to the specific
percentage.
The
Company is entitled to the benefits starting in the year in which
the Company
first generates taxable income, but not later than 14 years from
the date of
approval or 12 years from the first year of operation of the expansion.
Should
the Company pay dividends from tax-exempt income, it will be liable
to 25% tax
on the amount distributed, and a further withholding tax will be
deductible from
the amount distributed.
Subsequent
to the balance sheet date and in connection with the Purchase Agreement,
the
Company and the purchaser submitted a request to the Investment Center
in Israel
to transfer the approvals for Approved Enterprise status, as described
above, to
the purchaser.

The
Company has not received final tax assessments since

Tax
rates applicable to the Company's
income:
|
Until
December 31, 2003, the regular tax rate applicable to income of companies
(which
are not entitled to benefits due to "approved enterprise", as described
above)
was 36%. In June 2004, an amendment to the Income Tax Ordinance (No.
140 and
Temporary Provision), 2004 was passed by the "Knesset" (Israeli parliament)
and
on July 25, 2005, another law was passed, the amendment to the Income
Tax
Ordinance (No. 147) 2005, according to which the corporate tax rate
is to be
progressively reduced to the following tax rates: 2006 - 31%, 2007
- 29%, 2008 -
27%, 2009 - 26%, 2010 and thereafter - 25%.
