Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial
statements for the interim periods are unaudited and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are
wholly-owned or majority owned with an offset to minority interest. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been
eliminated. The interim financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (SEC) and therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented have been
included. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (10-K), as filed with the SEC. The June 30, 2007 balance
sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2008 or for any other period.
Integrated
BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the Company or INB), is engaged
primarily in manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products; the
manufacture and distribution of Paclitaxel, which is the primary chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of breast cancer,
Pharmaceutical technical services through its contract research organization; and the biotechnology business which uses its patented
plant-based technology to produce vaccines and therapeutic antibodies. The Companys customers are located primarily in the
United States.
The Nutraceutical segment includes InB:Manhattan Drug Company, Inc. (Manhattan Drug), which manufactures
vitamins and nutritional supplements for sale to distributors, multilevel marketers and specialized health-care providers. AgroLabs,
Inc., which distributes and markets products carrying the Naturally label and natural and organic product ingredients.
The Vitamin Factory, which markets and sells private label Manhattan Drug products through mail order catalogs and the Internet. The
Company also distributes fine natural chemicals through its wholly-owned subsidiary IHT Health Products, Inc. In fiscal year 2007,
The Organic Beverage Company, formerly Bioscience Technologies, Inc, completed the acquisition of the Syzmo product from
BevSpec, Inc. (BevSpec), which is a USDA organic energy drink.
The Pharmaceutical segment includes InB:Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Paxis) and InB:Hauser Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (Hauser). Paxis manufactures and distributes Paclitaxel, which is the primary chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of breast cancer. Hauser is a contract research organization (CRO) which provides research, development manufacturing at testing services to the specialty chemical, Pharmaceutical and natural products industries.
The
Biotechnologies segment includes InB:Biotechnologies, Inc. (InB:Biotech), which is focused on the discovery, development
and commercialization of proprietary products from plants. The Company is developing its patented plant-based expression technologies
for the production of vaccines, antibodies and other therapeutic proteins. InB:Biotech is also using plants as sources of novel, high
quality nutritional supplements. InB:Biotechs patented process for the hydroponic growth of edible plants causes them to
accumulate high levels of important nutritional minerals. In November 2007, the Company entered into a separation agreement with
InB:Biotech, whereby it intends to spin it off to the Companys shareholders.
On November 9, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company, approved a plan to distribute its equity interests in Biotech to its stockholders. This process is commonly referred to as a spin-off. Stockholders of the Company will receive one share of Biotech's common stock for each share of common stock owned of the Company as of the record date. In May 2008, the Company filed Schedule 14C,
Information Statement Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Amendment No. 1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission which describes the intended distribution of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Biotech's common stock
held by the Company to its holders of common stock. Immediately following the distribution, Biotech will complete a private offering of shares of its common stock to a limited number of investors for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million and will also issue
additional shares of its common stock to the Company in lieu of a portion of the amount owed in intercompany debt. As a result
of these subsequent transactions, it is expected that the current stockholders of the Company will own 84.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Biotech's common stock, the investors in the private offering will own an aggregate of 10% of such shares,
and the Company will own 5.4% of such shares.
Following the spin-off, Biotech will be a public company with stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Owners of common stock or the Company on the record date (to be determined),
the effective date of the spin-off, will own shares in both the Company and Biotech. Biotech will apply to have its common stock listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under a
to be determined symbol.

Principles of Consolidation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any majority-owned investment. Intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated in consolidation.
Estimates.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the
circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are
not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates include:
· |
sales returns and allowances; |
· |
trade marketing and merchandising; |
· |
allowance for doubtful accounts; |
· |
inventory valuation; |
· |
valuation and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets, including goodwill, including the values assigned to acquired intangible assets; |
· |
income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and; |
· |
accruals for, and the probability of, the outcome of current litigation. |
On a continual
basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical
experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. Nothing has come to our attention which would cause a change in these estimates.
Revenue Recognition. For product sales, the Company recognizes revenue when the products title and risk of loss transfers to the customer. The Company believes this revenue recognizing practice is appropriate because the Companys sales policies meet the four criteria of SAB 104 which are: (i) persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred, (iii) the sellers price to the buyer is fixed and determinable and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Companys sales policy is to require customers to provide purchase orders establishing selling prices and shipping terms. The Company evaluates the credit risk of each customer and establishes an allowance of doubtful accounts for any credit risk. Sales returns and allowances are estimated upon shipment. The Company recognizes income in its Hauser subsidiary upon monthly customer invoicing. The invoice amount is based upon time and materials spent in the month.

Shipping and Handling Costs. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of sales.
Trade
Marketing and Merchandising. In order to support the Companys proprietary
Nutraceutical product lines, various promotional activities are conducted through the retail trade, distributors or directly with
consumers, including in-store display and product placement programs, feature price discounts, coupons, and other similar activities.
The Company regularly reviews and revises, when it deems necessary, estimates of costs to the Company for these promotional programs
based on estimates of what will be redeemed by the retail trade, distributors, or consumers. These estimates are made using various
techniques, including historical data on performance of similar promotional programs. Differences between estimated expense and
actual performance are generally not material and are recognized as a change in managements estimate in a subsequent period.
Supplemental Statement of Cash Flows
Earnings Per Share. In accordance with FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per common share are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible preferred stock, subject to anti-dilution limitations.

During the three and
nine months ended March 31, 2008, total vested shares of options and warrants of 5,095,669 to purchase shares of common stock,
respectively were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive as a
result of net losses applicable to common shareholders during the periods. During the nine months ended March 31, 2007 options and
warrants of 4,379,518 to purchase shares of common stock, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted
earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive as a result of net losses applicable to common shareholders during the periods.
During
the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, Convertible Series C Preferred Stock and Convertible Note Payable in the amount of
2,254,675 and 1,641,758, respectively,
common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per
share as they were anti-dilutive as a result of net losses applicable to common shareholders.
During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2007, Convertible Series B Preferred Stock in the amount of 250,000 common share equivalents were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share as they were anti-dilutive as a result of net losses applicable to common shareholders.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, options and warrants to purchase 1,629,500 shares of common stock, were outstanding but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because their exercise price was greater than the average market price of the common shares.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, which will become effective for the Company January 1, 2009, with retroactive adoption of the Statements presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. This standard will require ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be presented within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet but
separate from the parent's equity. It will also require the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income statement. Certain changes in a parent's ownership interest are to be accounted for as equity transactions and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is to be initially measured at fair value. We do not anticipate the implementation of SFAS No. 160 will significantly change the presentation of our consolidated income statement or consolidated balance sheet.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109." This interpretation was effective as of July 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48, did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In September 2006,
the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 17, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does
not expect SFAS 157 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities. SFAS 159 permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.
Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and
not deferred. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities
that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At the effective
date, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at that date. The entity shall report the effect of the
first remeasurement to fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not
expect SFAS 159 to have a material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash
flows.
In June 2007, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting
for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (EITF Issue
07-3) that would require nonrefundable advance payments made by the Company for future R&D activities to be capitalized and
recognized as an expense as the goods or services are received by the Company. EITF Issue 07-3 is effective for the Company with
respect to new arrangements entered into beginning July 1, 2008. Currently the Company does not expect EITF Issue 07-3 to have a
material impact on the Companys consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Note 2. Acquisition
In
March 2007, we entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with our wholly-owned subsidiary The Organic Beverage
Company (TOBC) (formerly, Bioscience Technologies, Inc.), BevSpec, Inc., a Texas corporation ("BevSpec"), the
shareholders of BevSpec (the "Shareholders") and certain other parties (together with the Shareholders, the "Seller Parties")
pursuant to which TOBC acquired substantially all of the assets and business of BevSpec (the "Transferred Assets") and assumed
certain payment obligations of BevSpec (the "Payment Obligations"). We paid approximately $308 to specified parties to satisfy the
Payment Obligations. In addition, we issued 185,000 shares of our common stock (the "Share Consideration") to the Seller Parties. The
Agreement was effective as of February 28, 2007. The Share Consideration is subject to a twelve-month lock-up and shall be held in
escrow for such time to satisfy any indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties. During the quarter ended March 31, 2008, the
twelve-month lock-up passed and the shares were released in full to the Seller Parties.
The purchased assets include trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, artwork, graphics, marketing materials, formulas for the acquired product lines, labels, customer lists, websites, goodwill, inventories and certain books and records. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement the purchase price for the Transferred Assets was valued at approximately $1,445 and was paid with the issuance of 185,000 shares of the Companys common stock valued at $1,103, based on the volume weighted average share price for five days prior to and subsequent from the date of the acquisition, and the assumption of approximately $342 in assumed liabilities and associated costs of the acquisition. Approximately $552 of the purchase price was allocated to intellectual property, $414 was allocated to trade names, $300 was allocated to deferred tax assets, and $179 was allocated to license agreements. The acquired intangible assets will be amortized ranging from a period of two to fifteen years.

Note 3. Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) on an annual basis and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. Application of the impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit.
Other intangible
assets consist of intellectual property, trademarks, license fees, and unpatented technology. The carrying amount of other intangible
assets as of March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007 is as follows:
Amortization expense
recorded on the intangible assets for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $151 and $97, and $477 and $285,
respectively. Amortization expense is recorded on the straight-line method over periods ranging from 2 years to 20 years based on
contractual or estimated lives and is included in selling and administrative expenses.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company owes a remaining balance of $1,150 under its intellectual property acquisition agreement, as amended, with the Center for Molecular Biotechnology of Fraunhofer USA, Inc. entered into in January 2004, which has a maximum purchase price of $3,600. The remaining purchase price will be paid in the fiscal years ending June 30, 2008 and 2009, in the amounts of $800 and $350, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities at March 31, 2008.

Note 6. Notes Payable, Convertible Note Payable CD Financial, LLC and Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On February 19,
2008, the Company entered into two Securities Purchase Agreements (the "SPA") relating to a private placement of securities with two investors,
one of whom is an affiliate of Carl DeSantis, a director of the Company, which resulted in gross proceeds of $17,337 to the Company.
The private placement involves the sale of (i) 6,000 shares of newly designated redeemable Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the Series
C Preferred) with a stated value of $1,000 per share, (ii) $4,500 in principal amount of 9.5% Convertible Note Payable (the
Convertible Note Payable ), (iii) $7,000 in principal amount of 8.0% Notes Payable (the Notes Payable) and
(iv) 200,000 shares of the Companys common stock. The Company also has recorded $197 of deferred financing costs associated
with the two SPA's $130 of the deferred financing costs were netted against
the gross proceeds received. These costs were allocated to the each of the components of the transaction, based on the relative fair
values and are amortized based on the terms of the component of the transaction for which the costs were allocated to respectively.
As of March 31, 2008, the Company has $115, which is to be amortized to interest expense over one to three years. The Notes Payable
and the Convertible Note Payable will be secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets. Concurrently with the SPAs,
the Company terminated its outstanding credit facilities with Amalgamated Bank in the amount of $16,333 with the repayment of
$16,006. Consequently on the extinguishment of the credit facilities, the Company recognized a gain in the amount of $327 in the
quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2008.
(a) CD Financial, LLC, a related party provided gross proceeds of $7,500, exclusive of a $163 discount to be repaid by the Company at a future date, in exchange for 3,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, with a stated value of $1,000 per share, and $4,500 in principal amount of 9.5% Convertible Note Payable. The Company allocated the proceeds and the discount based the relative fair value of the Convertible Note Payable and the Series C Preferred Stock in connection with this transaction. The Company is amortizing to interest expense the discount applied to the Convertible Note Payable over the term of the note, and charged to Additional Paid in Capital the discount applied to the Series C Preferred Stock. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature, in accordance with EITF 00-27, on the Convertible Note Payable of $715 to be accreted over the three-year period until maturity or the redemption of the convertible note payable. The Company also recorded a beneficial conversion feature on the Series C Preferred Stock of $608 to be accreted over the five-year maturity period or the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock. As of March 31, 2008, the unpaid discount on the Series C Preferred Stock and Convertible Note Payable in the amount of $163 is included in accrued expenses. The beneficial conversion features will be accreted using the effective interest rate method. The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 9.5% and mature on or before February 21, 2011. They may be converted, at any time and at the holders option, into shares of our common stock based on a conversion price as set out in the Convertible Notes. The conversion price is a formula that bases the conversion price on the greater of (i) 90% of the average Volume Weighted Average Price (the "VWAP") market price of our common stock for 20 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) $2.00, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination, reclassification or similar event and upon certain issuances below the conversion price. We have the option to prepay the Convertible Notes.

Each holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Shares held by such Holder (a "Mandatory Redemption") in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. The amount payable upon a Mandatory Redemption shall be equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate liquidation preference for the Series C Preferred Shares being redeemed as of the Mandatory Redemption Date and (ii) the aggregate liquidation preference for such Series C Preferred Shares divided by the Conversion Price, as defined, multiplied by the Market Price, as defined, in effect on the Mandatory Redemption Date. Also, in accordance with the Convertible Note, the Company will issue and deliver to CD Financial LLC, for no additional consideration, 50,000 shares of Common Stock, on a quarterly basis in arrears, commencing with the three-month anniversary of the issuance date, until the Note has been repaid in full, after which the Company's obligations to issue shares of Common Stock will no longer be applicable.
(b) Imperium.
provided proceeds of $9,837, which includes a discount of $163 in exchange for 3,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, with a
stated value of $1,000 per share, $7,000 in principal amount of 8.0% Notes Payable and 200,000 shares of the Companys common
stock. The Company allocated the proceeds and the discount based the relative fair value of the Notes Payable, the Series C Preferred
Stock and the Companys common stock in connection with this transaction. The Company is amortizing to interest expense the
discount applied to the Notes Payable over the term of the note and charged to Additional Paid in Capital the discounts applied to
the Series C Preferred Stock and the Common Stock. The Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature, in accordance with EITF
00-27, on the Series C Preferred Stock of $608, respectively. The beneficial conversion feature is to be accreted over the five-year
maturity period or the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock. The beneficial conversion features will be accreted using the effective

Note 7. Revolving and Term Credit Facilities and Restricted Cash
On February 21,
2008, as discussed in Note 6., the Company used the majority of the proceeds to repay Amalgamated Bank (the Bank) to
extinguish the outstanding balance of $7,500 and $8,833 for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Credit Facility, respectively.
The Company was relived from its obligations and the restricted cash balance was released upon repayment of $16,006 for the
outstanding balance, which resulted in a gain from the extinguishment of the Credit Facilities of $327. In addition the Company paid
the outstanding interest and commitment fees of $106 plus professional fees of $64.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company
had net borrowings aggregating $6,000 under its $15,000 revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) with
Amalgamated Bank (the Bank). As of and June 30, 2007, the Company also had $10,000, outstanding under its five-year term
note (Term Note), entered into in April 2008, (collectively Credit Facilities) with the Bank. On September
27, 2008, the Company and the Bank amended the Revolving Credit Facility, to extend the maturity from October 31, 2008 to March 31,
2008, to amend the quarterly interest rates under the Credit Facilities to equal LIBOR plus a spread that varies depending on the
Companys covenant ratio of non-GAAP financial information and to cap the amount available under the Revolving Credit Facility
to $7,500. For the period from June 30, 2007 until compliance with the December 31, 2007 amended debt covenants, the interest rate
was LIBOR plus 3.0%.

Note 8. Significant Risks and Uncertainties
(a) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Cash. The Company maintains balances at several financial institutions. Deposits at each institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100. At March 31, 2008, the Companys uninsured cash balances, including restricted cash, were approximately $1,694.
(b) Concentrations of Credit Risk-Receivables. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited. The Company does not require collateral in relation to its trade accounts receivable credit risk. The amount of the allowance for uncollectible accounts and other allowances was $124 and $99 at March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
(c)
Major Customers. For the nine months ended March 31, 2008 approximately 28% or $10,361,
28% or $10,629 and 13% or $4,968 of revenues were derived from three customers. For the nine months ended March 31, 2007
approximately 28% or $14,057, 27% or $13,628 and 21% or $10,294 of revenues, respectively, were derived from the same three
customers. For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, approximately 33% or $3,658, 22% or $2,428 and 16% or $1,812 of
revenues and approximately 19% or $3,098, 28% or $54,539 and 28% or $4,601of revenues, respectively, were derived from the same three
customers. The loss of any of these customers would have an adverse affect on the Companys operations. Accounts receivable from
these three customers comprised approximately 62.7% of total accounts receivable at March 31, 2008.
(d)
Other Business Risks. The Company insures it business and assets against insurable
risks, to the extent that it deems appropriate, based upon an analysis of the relative risks and costs. The Company believes that the
risk of loss from non-insurable events would not have a material adverse effect on the Companys operations as a whole.
The
raw materials used by the Company are primarily commodities and agricultural-based products. Raw materials used by the Company in the
manufacture of its Nutraceutical products are purchased from independent suppliers. Raw materials are available from numerous sources
and the Company believes that it will continue to obtain adequate supplies.
Of the employees located in the Companys
New Jersey facility, approximately 58% the employees are covered by a union contract, which expires August 31, 2010.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
(a)
Leases
Related Party Leases. Warehouse and office facilities are leased
from Vitamin Realty Associates, L.L.C., a limited liability company, which is 90% owned by the Companys chairman, president and
principal stockholder and certain family members and 10% owned by an employee of the Company. The lease provides for minimum annual
rental payments of $324 through May 31, 2015 plus increases in real estate taxes and building operating expenses. On July 1, 2004,
the Company leased an additional 24,810 square feet of warehouse space on a month-to month basis. For the three and nine months ended
March 31, 2008 and 2007, rent expense on this lease was $197 and $178, and $578 and $505, respectively, and is included in both
manufacturing and selling and administrative expenses.

Other Lease Commitments. The Company has entered into certain non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring through May 31, 2015, for to office and warehouse space, equipment and vehicles. Total rent expense, including real estate taxes and maintenance charges, was approximately $450 and $408 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and approximately $1,310 and $1,242 for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Rent expense is stated net of sublease income of approximately $12 and $7 and $37 and $21, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively and is included in both cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses.
The
minimum rental commitment for long-term non-cancelable leases is as follows:
(b) Intellectual Property and Research Agreements. In connection with the acquisition in January 2004 of intellectual property developed by the Center for Molecular Biotechnology of Fraunhofer USA, Inc. (FhCMB), the Company entered into a Technology Transfer Agreement on December 18, 2003 (the IPAgreement), whereby the Company agreed to pay up to a maximum of $3,000 for certain technology developed by FhCMB over a five-year period. In addition to the IP Agreement, the Company entered into research agreements, which require the payment of several milestone payments related to achieving certain flu vaccine studies and our ongoing Anthrax studies (the R&D Agreements).
In March, 2006, the Company amended their IP Agreement with FhCMB to expand the scope of the IP Agreement and increased the amount of the purchase commitment to a maximum of $3,500. In June 2007, the Company amended their existing amended IP Agreement and R&D Agreements with FhCMB, to commercialize the developed process, production techniques and methodologies of the proprietary technology and intellectual property for external applications. The June 2007 amendment requires FhCMB to continue to conduct
research
to enhance, improve and expand the existing intellectual property, and for this research the Company has committed to make
non-refundable payments of $2,000 per year for five years, aggregating to $10,000, beginning in November 2009. In addition, the
Company will make royalty payments to FhCMB based on receipts derived by the Company from sales of products utilizing the proprietary
technology for a period of fifteen years instead of the original the ten-year period. In turn, FhCMB shall pay the Company royalty
payments for all receipts, if any, realized by FhCMB sales, licensing or commercialization of the intellectual property acquired by
them for the same fifteen-year period. Furthermore, FhCMB has agreed to expend at a minimum, an additional $2,000 per year in the same
timeframe as the Company for research and development on the intellectual property. A managing director of
FhCMB is also a director
on the Company's Board of Directors
In December 2007, the Company and FhCMB further amended the IP Agreement
increasing the purchase price by $100 to amend the field to include influenza diagnostics for a maximum purchase price of $3,600.
As
of March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2007, the Company has made payments of approximately $2,450 for the purchase commitment of $3,600, of
which $1,150 is accrued, $750 is to be paid in fiscal year 2008, with the remaining $400 to be paid in the fiscal year 2009.
Under
the Companys R&D Agreements, if FhCMB achieves each of the targeted Milestones as defined in the agreements, the Company
would incur research and development costs of $1,750 in addition to the $10,000 under the amended IP Agreement.

Gerald Kay, Trade Investment Services, LLC, Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Dean P. Stull and Integrated BioPharma, Inc., pending in the
Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County. Plaintiffs NatEx Georgia LLC and Vasili Patarkalishvili commenced this
action on July 19, 2004, alleging claims for breach of contact, fraud and breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing
arising out of an alleged failure by Paxis to provide information necessary for NatEx to perform under the parties' July 2003
agreements by which NatEx had agreed to supply Paclitaxel extract. The complaint sought damages of more than $5,000. By order dated
January 6, 2006, the Court granted in part Defendants' motion to dismiss. The Court dismissed all of the claims against all
defendants, except for the breach of contract claim against Paxis. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of that decision. On April 17,
2007, the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department dismissed Plaintiffs' appeal for failure to perfect. Certain of the
Defendants, including the Company, filed counter-claims against Plaintiffs for breach of the July 2003 agreement with NatEx and to
collect on a $1,300 note. By order dated June 7, 2007, the Court granted summary judgment in favor Paxis on Plaintiffs' remaining
claim, and granted summary judgment in favor of Defendants on their counterclaims against Plaintiffs. The Court subsequently entered
judgment in favor of Paxis, dismissing Plaintiffs' complaint and in favor of the Company and against NatEx Georgia LLC in the amount
of $1,300, plus interest, due on the Promissory Note. At a hearing on August 15, 2007, the Court granted Defendants' application to
recover attorneys' fees from NatEx Georgia LLC and Vasili Patarkalishvili in the amount of $304. At this time the Company is unable
to estimate the amount, if any, or timing of possible recovery of the judgments against Natex or Mr. Patarkalishvili.
(d) Paxis Purchase Agreement. In connection with the Companys acquisition of Paxis from Trade Investment Services, LLC (TIS), which funded Paxis and Natexs development, TIS has the right to receive twenty-five (25%) of the after-tax profits of Paxis until TIS has received an additional $49.5 million. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the amount or timing of any potential contingent payments.

In September 2007,
the Company entered into a Consultancy Agreement (the Agreement) with three individuals (the Consultants),
two of whom are also employees of CDS International Holding, Inc. (CDS), an entity controlled by a significant
shareholder and director of the Company. The Agreement is for one year, subject to termination by the Company for any reason with
three months notice and will automatically renew at the end of each one-year term unless cancelled in writing by either party with
one months written notice. In March 2008, the Consultants were hired as employees of the Company and CDS remained as a consultant for
$3 per month. The Company was paying the Consultants $25 per month and grant an aggregate of 500,000 in stock options and/or
restricted stock awards under the Companys Stock Option Plan (the Stock Compensation) and participate in any
Company bonus program adopted by the Companys Board of Directors. The Stock Compensation is an annual award and each award will
vest one-third on the grant date and one-third on each of the first and second anniversaries on each September 1 after the grant
date. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008, the Company paid $50 and $95, respectively in cash payments and recognized
non cash compensation expense of $166 and $733 in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008.

In May 2007, the Company entered into a separate one-year financial advisor agreement (the Engagement), whereby it issued 30,000 shares of restricted stock of the Company to the financial advisor. As such, on the effective date, the Company recognized prepaid consulting expenses of $173 with a corresponding increase in equity. In September 2007, the Company terminated the Engagement with the financial advisor and charged off the remaining prepaid balance of approximately $159 to consulting fee expense during the nine months ended March 31, 2008.
The
shares of common stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and were issued
and sold in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Regulation D
promulgated there under. These shares of common stock may not be offered or sold in the United States in the absence of an effective
registration statement or exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act.

Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock. On February 21, 2008, the Company
raised $5,788 in net proceeds from the sale of 6,000 shares of the Companys Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock,
par value $1,000 per share (the Series C Preferred Shares), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, in connection
with the extinguishment of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Credit Facility. (See Note 7. Revolving and Term Credit
Facilities and Restricted Cash.)
Dividends of the Series C Preferred Shares are 10% per annum, payable on an annual
basis, by the Company in shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $.002 per share (the "Common Stock"). Accordingly, the
Company has accrued approximately $65 in the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

The Series C Preferred Shares are convertible at any time at the option of the holder into shares of our common stock based on a conversion price, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock dividend, stock split or combination, reclassification or similar event, and upon certain below-market issuances of our common stock. Upon the election to convert, each holder of shares of Series C Preferred Shares will receive such number of fully-paid and nonassessable shares of our common stock as determined by dividing the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of Series C Preferred Shares to be converted by the conversion price then in effect on the conversion date. Prior to and including August 21, 2008, the conversion price of each share of Series C Preferred Shares is a formula that bases the conversion price on the lesser of (i) the greater of (x) 90% of the average market price of our common stock for 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (y) $2.00 and (ii) $2.94. After August 21, 2008, the conversion price of each share of Series C Preferred Shares is a formula that bases the conversion price on the greater of (i) 90% of the average market price of our common stock for 10 trading days immediately preceding the conversion date and (ii) $2.00. The liquidation preference is equal to $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock held by the holder plus any accrued but unpaid dividends on such shares. The Series C Preferred may be redeemed under certain circumstances stated in the Certificate of Designations.
Each holder has the right to require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Shares held by such Holder (a "Mandatory Redemption") in cash upon the occurrence of certain events. The amount payable upon a Mandatory Redemption shall be equal to the greater of (i) the aggregate liquidation preference for the Series C Preferred Shares being redeemed as of the Mandatory Redemption Date and (ii) the aggregate liquidation preference for such Series C Preferred Shares divided by the Conversion Price, as defined, multiplied by the Market Price, as defined, in effect on the Mandatory Redemption Date.
The Company shall pay in cash the Mandatory Redemption Price to the holder exercising its right to redemption on or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day following the date on which such holder delivers written notice to the Company demanding the redemption of such holder's Series C Preferred Shares specifying the number of Series C Preferred Shares to be redeemed. If the Company fails to pay the Mandatory Redemption Price to a holder on or before the Mandatory Redemption Date, such Holder is entitled to interest until the Mandatory Redemption Price has been paid in full, at an annual rate equal to the Default Interest Rate.
If any Series C preferred shares remain outstanding on the maturity date (February 1, 2013), the Company will either (i) convert such preferred shares at a conversion rate determined by dividing 115% of the conversion amount being converted by the applicable conversion price as of the maturity date for such preferred shares or (ii) redeem such preferred shares for an amount in cash per preferred share equal to the conversion amount. The Company is required to give sixty (60) days written notice to each holder of Series C shares, which shall state its election. The Company can redeem at maturity all or a portion of the Series C shares.
The Company recorded the beneficial conversion feature of $1,216 in accordance with EITF 00-27 and such amounts are being accreted over the five year period until the mandatory redemption date of the Series C Preferred Stock, the fifth anniversary of closing. The Company recorded accretion of $24, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008
In
May 2008, the Company registered the Common Stock underlying the Series C Preferred Shares, for resale under the Securities Act of
1933 and applicable state securities laws.
Note 12. Income Taxes
During the quarter ended March 31, 2008 the Company recorded a valuation allowance against its fiscal year 2008 losses, as uncertainties of the future utilization of the deferred tax assets relating to the increased net operating losses will be able to be utilized. This change in the effective tax rate is primarily a result of a valuation allowance against current year losses of $2,627 and a valuation allowance of $859 as a result of the impending spin-off of the Biotechnologies Segment, for which the Company's carry-forward losses will not be able to be utilized.
Note 13. Segment Information
The basis for presenting segment results generally is consistent with overall Company reporting. The Company reports information about its operating segments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board Statement No. 131, Disclosure About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, which establishes standards for reporting information about a companys operating segments.
The Company has divided its operations into three reportable segments as follows: Nutraceuticals, Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnologies. The international sales, concentrated primarily in Europe, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $2,159 and $2,224, and $6,376 and $10,694, respectively.

Item 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANICAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION
Certain statements set forth under this caption constitute forward-looking statements. See Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements on page 1 of this Report for additional factors relating to such statements. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K.
The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products; the manufacture and distribution of paclitaxel, which is the primary chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of breast cancer; and Pharmaceutical technical services through its contract research organization. The Companys customers are located primarily throughout the United States.
Business Outlook
Our
future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, including this MD&A, involve a
number of risks and uncertaintiesin particular, the statements regarding our goals and strategies, new product introductions,
plans to cultivate new businesses, pending divestitures, future economic conditions, revenue, pricing, gross margin and costs, the
tax rate, and pending legal proceedings. We are focusing on efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce spending that may
result in several actions that could have an impact on expense levels and gross margin. In addition to the various important factors
discussed above, a number of other important factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from our expectations. See
the risks described in Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Form 10-Q.
For the remaining three months of
fiscal year 2008, we expect consolidated net sales to be between $13.0 million and $15.0 million, compared to $10.0 million in the
remaining three months of fiscal year 2007. Historically, our net sales of our proprietary Nutraceutical product line have been
lower in the second half of the fiscal year than in the first half of the fiscal year; however we are optimistic that our sales over
the remaining three months of this fiscal year will exceed our third quarter results, as our sales and consulting professionals are
assisting us in expanding our market, customer base, promotion of our products and strategically developing and launching new natural
fruit juice products. In addition, we remain optimistic with our Syzmo product line as sales indicators and feedback from our
ongoing sales and marketing efforts suggest a high demand for an organic energy drink unique from other energy drinks currently being
offered.
Our financial results are substantially dependent on net sales of our Nutraceutical product lines. Net sales is
partly a function of the mix of branded proprietary Nutraceutical products, contract manufactured products, our Syzmo product
and other Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical products sold and services rendered, all of which are difficult to forecast. The varied
sales price among our products and promotional support in the form of consumer coupons or other sales price allowances, along with
the mix of products sold affects the average selling price that we will realize and has a large impact on our revenue and gross
margins. Net sales is affected by the timing of new product introductions and the demand for and market acceptance of our products;
actions taken by our competitors, including new product offerings and introductions, marketing programs and pricing pressures, and
our response to such actions; our ability to respond quickly to consumer tastes and needs; and the availability of sufficient raw
materials and production lead-time from suppliers to meet demand. Factors that could cause demand to be different from our
expectations include customer acceptance of our products and our competitors products; changes in customer order patterns, including
order returns; changes in the level of inventory at customers; and changes in business and economic conditions, including conditions
in the credit market that could affect consumer confidence and result in lower than expected demand for our products.
We
believe that we have the product offerings and introductions, facilities, personnel, and competitive and financial resources in place
for business success; however, future revenue, costs, gross margins, and profits are all influenced by a number of factors, including
those discussed above, all of which are inherently difficult to forecast.

On November 9, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company, approved a plan to distribute its equity interests in Biotech to its stockholders. This process is commonly referred to as a spin-off. Stockholders of the Company will receive one share of Biotech's common stock for each share of common stock owned of the Company as of the record date. In May 2008, the Company filed Schedule 14C,
Information Statement Pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (Amendment No. 1) with the Securities and Exchange Commission which describes the intended distribution of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of Biotech's common stock held by the Company to its holders of common stock. Immediately following the distribution, Biotech will complete a private offering of shares of its common stock to a limited number of investors for gross proceeds of approximately $5.0 million and will also issue additional shares of its common stock to the Company in lieu of a portion of the amount owed in intercompany debt. As a result of these subsequent
transactions, it is expected that the current stockholders of the Company will own 84.6% of the issued and outstanding shares of Biotech's common stock, the investors in the private offering will own an aggregate of 10% of such shares, and the Company will own 5.4% of such shares.
Following the spin-off, Biotech will be a public company with stock traded on the OTC Bulletin Board. Owners of common stock or the Company on the record date (to be determined), the effective date of the spin-off, will own shares in both the Company and Biotech. Biotech will apply to have its common stock listed on the OTC Bulletin Board under a
to be determined symbol.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Estimates. The
preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management bases its
estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily
apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates include:
· |
sales returns and allowances; |
· |
trade marketing and merchandising; |
· |
allowance for doubtful accounts; |
· |
inventory valuation; |
· |
valuation and recoverability of long-lived and intangible assets and goodwill, including the values assigned to acquired intangible assets; |
· |
income taxes and valuation allowance on deferred income taxes, and; |
· |
accruals for, and the probability of, the outcome of current litigation. |
· |
deferred tax valuation allowance. |
22
On a continual
basis, management reviews its estimates utilizing currently available information, changes in facts and circumstances, historical
experience and reasonable assumptions. After such reviews, and if deemed appropriate, those estimates are adjusted accordingly.
Actual results could differ from those estimates. There have been no material changes in the calculation of these estimates since the
audited financial statements at June 30, 2007.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts and Sales Returns
The Company makes judgments as to its ability to collect outstanding receivables and provides allowances for the portion of receivables when collection becomes doubtful. Provisions are made based upon a specific review of all significant outstanding invoices. The Company continuously monitors payments from its customers and maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses in the period they become known.
The
Companys return policy is to only accept returns for defective products. If defective products are returned, it is the Companys
agreement with its customers that the Company cure the defect and reship the product. The policy is that when the product is shipped
the Company makes an estimate of any potential returns or allowances.
If the historical data the Company uses to calculate the allowance provided for doubtful accounts does not reflect the future ability to collect outstanding receivables, additional provisions for doubtful accounts may be needed and the future results of operations could be materially affected. In recording any additional allowances, a respective charge against income is reflected in the general and administrative expenses, and would reduce the operating results in the period in which the increase is recorded.
We performed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of fluctuations in our estimates for our allowance for doubtful accounts. As of March 31, 2008, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $0.1 million. If this amount were in error by plus or minus one percent of the account receivable balance, the impact would be an additional $0.1 million of income or expense.
Inventory Valuation
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market (LCM), which reflects managements estimates of net realizable value. The inventory amounts are composed primarily of inventory items in both the Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical segments of business. As a result of our Nutraceutical inventory being manufactured primarily on a purchase order basis, the quantity of both raw materials and finished goods inventory provides for minimal risk for potential overstock or obsolescence. Pharmaceutical inventory is valued at market values, which is lower than our cost basis.
Mail order inventory is expiration date sensitive. The Company reviews this inventory and considers sales levels (by SKU), term to expiration date, potential for retesting to extend expiration date and evaluates potential for obsolescence or overstock.
The Company preformed a sensitivity analysis to determine the impact of fluctuations in our estimates for inventory allowances. If our estimates used to value inventory were in error by plus or minus one percent of the total inventory balance, the impact would be an additional $0.1 million of income or expense.
Long Lived Assets
Purchased intangibles consisting of patents and unpatented technological expertise, intellectual property, license fees and trade names purchased as part of business acquisitions are presented net of related accumulated amortization and are being amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining useful lives.
The Company records impairment losses on other intangible assets when events and circumstances indicated that such assets might be impaired and the estimated fair value of the asset is less than its recorded amount in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company reviews the value of its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in business circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable or that the useful lives of these assets are no longer appropriate. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include material adverse changes in operations, significant adverse differences in actual results in comparison with initial valuation forecasts prepared at the time of acquisition, a decision to abandon certain acquired products, services, or marketplaces, or other significant adverse changes that would indicate the carrying amount of the recorded asset might not be recoverable.
23
Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets - The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives no longer be amortized against earnings, but instead
tested for impairment at least annually based on a fair-value approach as described in SFAS 142.
Intangible assets with
finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives. The useful life of an intangible asset is the period over which the
asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The carrying value of intangible assets with finite
lives is evaluated whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. The carrying value is
not recoverable when the projected undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying value. Tests for impairment or
recoverability require significant management judgment, and future events affecting cash flows and market conditions could result in
impairment losses.
General
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions
Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 104. The Company recognizes product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have
transferred to the customer, when estimated provisions for product returns, rebates, chargebacks and other sales allowances are
reasonably determinable, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Accruals for these items are presented in the condensed
consolidated financial statements as reductions to sales. The Companys net sales represent gross sales invoiced to customers,
less certain related charges for discounts, returns, rebates, chargebacks and other allowances. Cost of sales includes the cost of
raw materials and all labor and overhead associated with the manufacturing and packaging of the products. Gross margins are affected
by, among other things, changes in the relative sales mix among the Companys products, as well as gross margins of acquired
entities.
Operating results in all periods presented reflect the impact of acquisitions. The timing of those acquisitions
and the changing mix of businesses as acquired companies are integrated into the Company may affect the comparability of results from
one period to another.
Results of Operations
The following table sets forth the income statement data of the Company as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:
24
For the nine month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to the nine month period ended March 31, 2007
Sales, net. Sales,
net, for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $37.5 million and $50.2 million, respectively, a decrease of $8.1 million
or 25.2%. The decrease is comprised of the following:
For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, approximately 70% of total net sales were derived from three customers as compared 76% of total net sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The loss of any of these customers would have an adverse affect on our operations. We continue to expand our customer base by expanding from selling our proprietary branded Nutraceutical products primarily to club stores to the retail sales segment and expanding our sales in the international market.
Sales, net for the Nutraceutical segment for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $33.1 million and $45.3 million, respectively, a decrease of approximately $12.1 million or 26.8%. This decrease is, in part, the result of a decrease in sales from our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line of approximately $8.9 million in part due to fewer promotional programs at our club stores and no new products introduced into the market during the current fiscal year as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Since the Company has not penetrated the market with new products, the Company has had to give discounts and pricing concessions to our customers in order to maintain shelf space and required customer sales volume. Included against net sales are price concessions of approximately $1.2 million; of which approximately $0.8 million was incurred in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2008. In addition the Companys contract manufacturing products sales decreased approximately $4.1 million, primarily due to lower international reorders from our customers. The Syzmo product generated net sales of approximately $0.6 million, and the remaining Nutraceutical product lines had net sales growth of approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior period. We are planning on launching 6 to 8 new products in test markets during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and the first quarter of fiscal 2009.
Pharmaceuticals sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 were $3.5 million compared to $4.3 million, a decrease of $0.7 million or 17.5% from the comparable period. This decrease is primarily due to decreased sales of approximately $1.2 million of the Companys Contract Research Organization (CRO) business in the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This was off-set by increased net sales in our Approved Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) business of approximately $0.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2008 compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2007.
25
Our Biotechnologies Segment sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 were $0.9 million compared to $0.7 million, an increase of $0.2 million or 34.6% from the comparable period. This increase is primarily due to increased sales under a supply contact agreement of approximately $0.2 million.
Cost of sales. Cost of sales decreased by $3.2 million to $31.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $34.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales to 82.5% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 68.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase in costs of sales as a percentage of net sales was mainly a result of a $3.8 million, or approximately 10% of net sales, of write-offs for certain inventory items, mainly in our Nutraceutical segments business lines. Of the write-off of $3.8 million, $2.8 million is related to changes in the Companys packaging and design, discontinuation of certain product lines and valuation adjustments on certain new products in our Naturally branded product lines. An additional $0.8 million write-off is a result of abandoning a focused marketing campaign to increase sales of our private labeled nutritional supplement products through e-commerce and mail publication and to expand business with new and existing customers by offering new products and formulas in our contract manufacturing product line of business. The remaining $0.2 million is due to an isolated production run which the product did not meet our standards. Costs of sales also increased as a percentage of net sales as a result of lower sales volumes for our businesses with fixed manufacturing costs in both the Nutraceutical and Pharmaceutical segments. Lastly, the profit mix in our Naturally branded product lines has resulted in decrease in our margins as mark-downs, buy-one get-one promotions had resulted in approximately a $1.2 million reduction to our net sales.
The cost of sales
for our Nutraceutical segment decreased from $30.4 million to $27.3 million or $3.1 million the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and
2008, respectively. As a percentage of net sales, the cost of sales increased 15.3%, from 67.3% for the nine months ended March 31,
2007 to 82.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily a result of approximately a $3.8 million of
write-offs for certain inventory items. Of the write-off of $3.8 million, $2.8 million is related to changes in the Companys
packaging and design, discontinuation of certain product lines and valuation adjustments on certain new products in our Naturally
branded product lines. An additional $0.8 million write-off is a result of abandoning a focused marketing campaign to increase sales
of our private labeled nutritional supplement products through e-commerce and mail publication and to expand business with new and
existing customers by offering new products and formulas in our contract manufacturing product line of business. The remaining $0.2
million is due to an isolated production run which the product did not meet our standards. The increase in the cost of sales as a
percentage of net sales is due to the decline in net sales volumes for our contract manufacturing products of approximately $4.1
million. A majority of our manufacturing costs for our contract manufacturing business is fixed, which will increase the cost of
sales as a percentage of sales as there are fewer sales to spread the fixed costs over. Lastly, the profit mix in our Naturally
branded product lines has resulted in decrease in our margins as mark-downs, buy-one get-one promotions had resulted in approximately
a $1.2 million reduction to our net sales.
The Pharmaceutical segment cost of sales was $3.2 million and $3.4 million for
the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As a percentage of net sales, the cost of sales increased 10.7%, from
79.2% to 89.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. This increase is due to lower sales in our CRO
business, which resulted in an increased cost of sales as the majority of the costs are fixed and associated to salaries and employee
benefits and excess manufacturing capacity in our API business. If our net sales continue to grow in our API business, we will be
able to absorb more of our manufacturing costs, thereby decreasing our cost of goods sold on future sales.
26
Selling and
Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative
expenses were $17.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $4.0 million or 30.2% as compared with $13.1
million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 45.5% for
the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 26.1% for the prior comparable period.
Selling
and administrative expenses for our Nutraceuticals segment were $12.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008, an increase
of $3.2 million or 35.9% as compared with $9.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of Nutraceutical
sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 36.9% for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 19.9% for the prior
comparable period.
During the nine months ended March 31, 2008, selling and administrative expenses in our Nutraceutical
Segment related to business lines we acquired or divested during fiscal year 2008 added additional costs of approximately $2.6
million. The Organic Beverage Company (TOBC) increased the Nutraceuticals segments total
selling and administrative expenses for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 by $2.3 million, which was partially offset by a
decrease in Micro Nutrition, Inc.s selling and administrative expenses of $0.1 million included in the results for the nine
months ended March 31, 2007.
Excluding the selling and administrative expenses related to business lines acquired or
divested during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our selling and administrative expenses in our Nutraceuticals Segment increased
$0.8 million from the prior comparable period. This increase is a result of approximately $1.2 million of increased stock
compensation expense and $0.3 million of increased salaries and employee benefit expenses, off-set by $0.3 million of marketing and
indirect advertising, $0.2 million reduction in royalty and commission expense as a result of decreased sales, and $0.2 million due
to reduced insurance, tradeshows and travel related costs and other office related expenses.
The Pharmaceutical selling
and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million to $3.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as
compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This increase is a result of approximately
$0.2 million of increased salaries and employee benefit expenses mainly due to increased head-count, off-set by $0.1 million of
professional expenses.
The Biotechnologies selling and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.6 million
to $1.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $1.1 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. The
increase in the current fiscal period is primarily due to the write-off of an investment of $0.3 million, an increased salary and
employee benefits of $0.1 million, an increase in professional fees of $0.1 million and $0.1 million due to increased lab and
convention expenses.
Other expense, net. Other expense, net increased approximately $0.4 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This is primarily attributable to, an increase in interest expense due to the increased average total of outstanding obligations for the period ending March 31, 2008 as compared to March 31, 2007, offset by a gain of $327on the extinguishment of the credit facilities in the quarter and nine months ended March 31, 2008. In addition, interest income decreased for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 2007 due to lower average cash and cash equivalents balances.
27
Federal and state income tax, net. Federal and state income tax, net. Federal and state income tax changed from a tax expense of $1.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 to a tax expense of just under $1.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Our effective tax rate decreased from 46.9% to 8.7%. The decrease in our effective tax rates is primarily the result of providing a 100% valuation allowance on any deferred tax assets generated in the nine months ended March 31, 2008, including the net operating loss generated, plus an additional $0.8 million for the entire federal net operating loss asset related to Biotech's net operating loss carryforwards as of June 30, 2007 as a result of the impending spin-off of Biotech, for which their carry-forward federal losses will not be able to be utilized prior to the spin-off.
State net operating losses available to Biotech were reserved for in previous reporting periods.
Net' (loss) income applicable to common shareholder. The Company's net loss for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 was $11.6 million as compared to net income of $2.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease of approximately $14.1 million is primarily the result of a decrease in gross profit in our Nutraceuticals and Pharmaceutical segment of approximately $9.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, an increase in selling and administrative expenses of $4.0 million primarily attributable to the Nutraceuticals segment, and an increase in other expense of approximately $0.4 million primarily attributable to increased interest expenses. The federal and state income tax expense of approximately $1.0 million, mainly attributable to the valuation allowance recorded on the prior year Biotechnologies Segment losses due to the impending spin-off.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2008 compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2007
Sales, net. Sales,
net, for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $11.2 million and $16.4 million, respectively, a decrease of $5.2 million or
31.8%. The decrease is comprised of the following:
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, approximately 70.4% of total net sales were derived from three customers as compared 74.6% of total net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2007. The loss of any of these customers would have an adverse affect on our operations. We continue to expand our customer base by expanding from selling our propriety branded Nutraceutical products primarily to club stores to the retail sales segment and expanding our sales in the international market.
28
Sales, net for the Nutraceutical segment for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $9.8 million and $14.9 million, respectively, a decrease of approximately $5.1 million or 34.3%. For the quarter ended March 31, 2008, our branded proprietary Nutraceutical product line decreased approximately $5.7 million in part due to fewer promotional programs at our club stores and no new products introduced into the market during the current fiscal year as compared to the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Since the Company has not penetrated the market with new products, the Company has had to give discounts and pricing concessions to our customers in order to maintain shelf space and required customer sales volume. Included against net sales are price concessions of approximately $0.8 million in the third quarter of the fiscal year 2008. In addition the Companys contract manufacturing products sales decreased approximately $0.1 million, primarily due to lower reorders from a major international customer. The Syzmo product generated net sales of approximately $0.4 million, and the remaining Nutraceutical product lines had net sales growth of approximately $0.3 million compared to the prior period.
Pharmaceuticals sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $1.0 million compared to $1.2 million, a decrease of $0.2 million or 17.9% from the comparable period. This decrease is primarily due to decreased sales in our Contract Research Organization (CRO) business in the quarter ended March 31, 2008 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2007.
Our Biotechnologies Segment sales for the three months ended March 31, 2008 were $0.4 million compared to $0.3 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 34.0% from the comparable period.
Cost
of sales. Cost of sales decreased to $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to $11.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2007. Cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales to 92.1% for the three months ended March
31, 2008 as compared to 70.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase is primarily a result of approximately a $1.3
million of write-offs for certain inventory items. Of the write-off of $1.1 million, $1.1 million is related to changes in the Companys
packaging and design, discontinuation of certain product lines and valuation adjustments on certain new products in our Naturally
branded product lines. The remaining $0.2 million is due to an isolated production run which the product did not meet our standards.
Lastly, the profit mix in our Naturally branded product lines has resulted in decrease in our margins as mark-downs, buy-one get-one
promotions had resulted in approximately a $0.8 million reduction to our net sales.
The cost of sales for our
Nutraceutical segment decreased $1.1 million from $10.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $9.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008. As a percentage of net sales, the cost of sales increased 24.6%, from 69.2% for the three months
ended March 31, 2007 to 93.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is primarily a result of approximately a $1.3
million of write-offs for certain inventory items. Of the write-off of $1.3 million or 13.3% of cost of sales, $1.1 million is
related to changes in the Companys packaging and design, discontinuation of certain product lines and valuation adjustments on
certain new products in our Naturally branded product lines. The remaining $0.2 million is due to an isolated production run which
the product did not meet our standards. The remaining increase in our cost of sales as a percentage of net sales, is a result of the
decline in net sales volumes for our branded Nutraceutical product line of approximately $5.7 million, which is due to no new
products and increased promotions which have changed our profit mix in our Naturally branded product lines and has resulted in
decrease in our margins as mark-downs, buy-one get-one promotions had resulted in approximately a $0.8 million reduction to our net
sales. Lastly a decline in net sales volumes in our contract manufacturing products of approximately $0.1 million. A majority of our
manufacturing costs for our contract manufacturing business is fixed, which will increase the cost of sales as a percentage of sales
as there are fewer sales to spread the fixed costs over.
The Pharmaceutical segments cost of sales was $0.9 million and
$1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As a percentage of the Pharmaceutical segments
net sales, the cost of sales increased 6.9%, from 87.3% to 94.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
This increase is due to lower sales in our CRO business, which resulted in an increased cost of sales as the majority of the costs
are fixed and associated to salaries and employee benefits and excess manufacturing capacity in our API business. If our net sales
continue to grow in our API business, we will be able to absorb more of our manufacturing costs, thereby decreasing our cost of goods
sold on the future sales.
29
Selling and
Administrative Expenses. Selling and administrative
expenses were $6.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $1.8 million or 42.3% as compared with $4.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 42.1% for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 22.6% for the prior comparable period.
Selling
and administrative expenses for our Nutraceuticals segment were $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, an increase
of $1.4 million or 45.2% as compared with $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. As a percentage of the
Nutraceutical segments sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were 45.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
20.4% for the prior comparable period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, our selling and administrative
expenses in our Nutraceutical Segment related to business lines we acquired or divested during fiscal year 2008 added additional
costs of approximately $0.8 million. The Organic Beverage Company (TOBC) increased the
Nutraceuticals segments total selling and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2008 by $0.8 million,
which did not have a significant impact in the results for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
Excluding the selling
and administrative expenses related to business lines acquired or divested during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007,
our selling
and administrative expenses in our Nutraceuticals Segment increased $0.5 million from the prior comparable period.
This increase is a result of approximately $0.4 million of
increased stock compensation expense and $0.3 million of increased salaries and employee benefit expenses,
off-set by $0.1 million of marketing and indirect advertising and $0.1 million due to reduced royalty and
commission expense as a result of decreased sales, insurance, tradeshows and travel related costs and other
office related expenses.
The
Pharmaceutical selling and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million, from $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31,
2007 to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is mainly a result of increased salaries and employee
benefit related expenses.
The Biotechnologies selling and administrative expenses increased by $0.4 million to $0.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008, from $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This increase is
primarily due to research and development expenses of $0.3 million and an aggregate increase of $0.1 million in salary and employee
benefits, professional fees, lab expenses and convention expenses.
Other expense, net.
Other expense, net decreased approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 primarily attributable to, an increase in interest expense due to the increased average total of outstanding obligations for the period ending March 31, 2008 as compared to March 31, 2007, offset by a gain of $327on the extinguishment of the credit facilities in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. In addition, interest income decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 as compared to 2007 due to lower average cash and cash equivalents balance.
30
Federal and state income tax, net. Federal and state income tax, net. Federal and state income tax expense increased from $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 to $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our effective tax rate decreased from 65.2% to 32.1%. The dollar amount increase and the decrease in our effective tax rates are primarily a result of our state income tax expenses of $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2007 for which there were no offsetting deferred tax assets available to reduce our state income tax expense in our separate state tax filers with taxable income, whereas, for federal income tax purposes our operating companies with taxable losses offset taxable income from our two tax paying operating companies for state purposes. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we recorded additional valuation reserves on our deferred tax assets of $1.7 million based on our estimate of future utilization of our deferred tax assets.
Net (loss) income applicable to common shareholders. The Company's net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 was $7.3 million as compared to net income of $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007. This decrease of approximately $3.9 million is primarily the result of a decrease in gross profit in our Nutraceuticals and Pharmaceutical segment of approximately $4.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively, an increase in selling and administrative expenses of $1.9 million primarily attributable to the Nutraceuticals segment, and an decrease in other expense of approximately $0.1 million primarily attributable to increased interest expenses, off-set in part by, offset by a gain on the extinguishment of the credit facilities in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The federal and state income tax expense of approximately $1.6 million, mainly attributable to the increase in our valuation allowance recorded on the prior year Biotechnologies Segment losses due to the impending spin-off, and the valuation allowance of the current year losses.
Seasonality.
The Companys results of operations in its Pharmaceuticals and Biotechnologies segments are not significantly affected by
seasonal factors. The Nutraceutical business segment tends to be seasonal. The Company has found that in its first fiscal quarter
ending in September, orders for its branded proprietary Nutraceutical products slow (absent the addition of new customers with a
significant first time order), as buyers in their markets may have purchased sufficient inventory to carry them through the summer
months. Conversely, in the Companys second fiscal quarter, ending in December, orders for its products increase as the demand
for the Companys branded Nutraceutical products seems to increase in late December to early January as consumers become health
conscious as they enter the new year.
The Company believes that there are other non-seasonal factors that also may also
influence the variability of quarterly results including, but not limited to, general economic and industry conditions that affect
consumer spending, changing consumer demands and current news on nutritional supplements. In addition, our recent growth has caused
additional variability in our quarterly results. Accordingly, a comparison of the Companys results of operations from
consecutive periods is not necessarily meaningful, and the Companys results of operations for any period are not necessarily
indicative of future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Companys net cash flows used in operating, investing and financing activities, its period end cash and cash equivalents and other operating measures:
31
At March 31, 2008, the Company's working capital was approximately $6.2 million, a decrease of $4.8 million from working capital at June 30, 2007 of $11.0 million. The decrease in our working capital is a result of our current fiscal year losses, higher current notes payable balances, lower inventory and accounts receivable balances. Cash and cash equivalents were $1.6 million at March 31, 2008, a decrease of $0.6 million from $2.2 million at June 30, 2007.
Net cash used by operating activities of $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 included net loss of $8.7 million. After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including deferred taxes, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization and compensation expense for employee stock options, the adjusted cash used before the effect of the changes in working capital components was $6.8 million. Additional cash provided of approximately $2.9 million was the result of a decrease in inventory of $2.7 million, accounts receivable of $0.3 million, other current assets, security deposits and other assets of $0.4 million and a increase of accounts payable of $0.7 million, these increases to cash were partially offset by, a decrease in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and income taxes payable of $1.2 million.
Net cash used in operating activities of $3.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007 resulted from net income of $1.4 million. After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including deferred taxes, impairment charges, depreciation and amortization and compensation expense for employee stock options, the adjusted cash provided before the effect of the changes in working capital components was $3.6 million. Cash used for working capital components of approximately $7.5 million was the result of an increase in inventory of $5.7 million, accounts receivable of $1.4 million, prepaid expenses and other current and non current assets of approximately $0.2 million and a decrease of accounts payable of approximately $0.6 million, these reductions to cash were partially offset by, an increase in accrued expenses and other current liabilities and income taxes payable of $0.4 million.
The Company used
$0.5 million and $1.2 million of cash in investing activities for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The
use of cash was to purchase property and equipment of $0.3 million and $0.7 million and to purchase intangible assets of $0.2 million
and $0.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Cash provided by
financing activities was $3.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2008. Cash provided during the nine months ended March 31,
2008 was the result of proceeds of $20.9 million. The components of the proceeds are from the issuance of Series C Preferred Stock of
$5.8 million, convertible note payable of $4.5 million, notes payable of $7.0 million, the release of restricted cash under the
revolving credit facility of $2.0 million, an increase to the revolving credit facility of $1.5 million and exercising of stock
options of $0.1 million. The proceeds were offset, in part by repayments of the revolving credit facility and the term loan of $7.4
million and $9.8 million, respectively.
Cash provided by financing activities was $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2007. Cash provided during the nine months ended March 31, 2007 was the result of proceeds of $18.8 million. The components of the proceeds are from the revolving credit facility $18.0 million and exercising of stock options of $0.8 million. The proceeds were offset, in part by the early redemption of 650 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock of $6.5 million, dividends paid of $0.4 million and repayments of the revolving credit facility of $4.5 million, note payable bank of $.45 million and loan payable TIS of $0.2 million; respectively, and funding of restricted cash under the revolving credit facility of $2.0 million and $9.8 million.
Management believes consolidated net sales for the remaining three months of fiscal year 2008 will be between $12.0 million and $14.0 million, we believe this will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our cash requirements to satisfy our working capital needs. Our return to profitability in our fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 and for the fiscal year 2009, should provide a significant portion of our cash needs over the ensuing twelve-month period to meet our capital expenditure needs, outstanding commitments and other liquidity requirements. Our ability to fund these requirements will depend our future operations, performance and cash flow and is subject to prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. In addition, as part of our strategy we are evaluating each line of business to identify were we may need to decrease our spending in our Business Segments that are net users of cash or we may pursue strategic acquisitions, investments or divestitures what will complement our core company strategy. Additionally, we also need to conclude our capital raise efforts for our Biotechnologies Segment and complete the pending spin-off of that business segment in order for us to meet our cash needs for all of our business segment operations and contractual commitments in fiscal 2008 and into fiscal 2009.

Our total annual commitments at March 31, 2008 for long term non-cancelable leases of approximately $5.5 million consists of obligations under operating leases for facilities and lease agreements for the rental of warehouse equipment, office equipment and automobiles.
Capital Expenditures
The Company's
capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $0.3 million and $0.7 million for each period,
respectively. The Company has budgeted approximately $1.0 million for capital expenditures for fiscal 2008. The total amount is
expected to be funded from cash provided from its operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The
Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, which will become effective for the Company January 1, 2009, with retroactive adoption of the Statement's presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. This standard will require ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent to be presented within the equity section of the consolidated balance sheet but separate from the parent's equity. It will also require the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest to be clearly identified and presented on the face of the consolidated income statement. Certain changes in a parent's ownership interest are to be accounted for as equity transactions and when a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary is to be initially measured at fair value. We do not anticipate the implementation of SFAS No. 160 will significantly change the presentation of our consolidated income statement or consolidated balance sheet.
In June 2007, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. This interpretation was effective as of July 1, 2008. We adopted Interpretation No. 48 effective July 1, 2008, and the impact to our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows was not material.
In September 2007,
the FASB issue SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurement (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a
framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FAS 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 17, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect
SFAS 157 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
In
February 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. SFAS
No. 159 permits an entity to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items
at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on
items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees
related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. SFAS No.
159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between entities that choose
different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At the effective date, an
entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at that date. The entity shall report the effect of the first
remeasurement to fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. We do not expect SFAS No.
159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
33
In June 2007, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities that would require nonrefundable advance payments made by the Company for future R&D activities to be capitalized and recognized as an expense as the goods or services are received by the Company. EITF Issue No. 07-3 is effective for the Company with respect to new arrangements entered into beginning July 1, 2008. Currently we do not expect EITF Issue No. 07-3 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Impact of Inflation
The Company does not believe that inflation has significantly affected its results of operations.
Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Not applicable.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We
maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be
disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as
appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange
Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our principal executive
officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures.
Based on the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period
covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that
information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. The Company has not completed its Sarbanes Oxley section 404
process, or related assessment in the process of evaluation and testing and is not required to do so until our fiscal year ending
June 30, 2008. The Company may identify deficiencies that may require remediation in the process of its evaluation and testing.

PART II OTHER INFORMATION
NatEx Georgia LLC and Vasili Patarkalishvili v. Robert B. Kay, E. Gerald Kay, Trade Investment Services, LLC, Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Dean P. Stull and Integrated BioPharma, Inc., pending in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, New York County. Plaintiffs NatEx Georgia LLC and Vasili Patarkalishvili commenced this action on July 19, 2004, alleging claims for breach of contact, fraud and breach of the implied duty of good faith and fair dealing arising out of an alleged failure by Paxis to provide information necessary for NatEx to perform under the parties' July 2003 agreements by which NatEx had agreed to supply Paclitaxel extract. The complaint sought damages of more than $5.0 million. By order dated January 6, 2007, the Court granted in part Defendants' motion to dismiss. The Court dismissed all of the claims against all defendants, except for the breach of contract claim against Paxis. Plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal of that decision. On April 17, 2008, the Supreme Court, Appellate Division, First Department dismissed Plaintiffs' appeal for failure to perfect. Certain of the Defendants, including the Company, filed counter-claims against Plaintiffs for breach of the July 2003 agreement with NatEx and to collect on a $1.3 million note. By order dated June 7, 2007, the Court granted summary judgment in favor Paxis on Plaintiffs' remaining claim, and granted summary judgment in favor of Defendants on their counterclaims against Plaintiffs. The Court subsequently entered judgment in favor of Paxis, dismissing Plaintiffs' complaint and in favor of the Company and against NatEx Georgia LLC in the amount of $1.3 million, plus interest, due on the Promissory Note. At a hearing on August 15, 2008, the Court granted Defendants' application to recover attorneys' fees from NatEx Georgia LLC and Vasili Patarkalishvili in the amount of $304,000. We believe, however, that NatEx Georgia LLC is insolvent, and further believe that we most likely will not be able to recover any of the judgment against Mr. Patarkalishvili.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007.
