BUSINESS GENERAL Interpharm Holdings, Inc. (formerly ATEC Group, Inc.), is a Delaware holding company which, through its operating wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., (collectively, "we" or "us") is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products in solid oral dosage form, consisting of tablets, caplets and capsules. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has defined generic drugs as "identical, or bioequivalent to a brand-name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use." The FDA has also stated: "Although generic drugs are chemically identical to their branded counterparts, they are typically sold at substantial discounts from the branded price. According to the Congressional Budget Office, generic drugs save consumers an estimated $8 to $10 billion a year at retail pharmacies." Brand-name drugs are typically patented in order to protect the developing company's investment in the drug and the lengthy approval process. Generic drugs, on the other hand, may be manufactured and marketed only if relevant patents on their brand-name equivalents (and any additional government-mandated market exclusivity periods) have expired, been challenged and invalidated, or otherwise validly circumvented. Generic drugs, however, need not go through the same lengthy approval process as brand-name drugs involving testing and clinical research - they need only go through an Abbreviated New Drug Application ("ANDA") to show that the generic version of the drug has the same ingredients, strength, dosage, administration and batch requirements as the brand-name drug as well as that it is bioequivalent and manufactured under the same standards as the brand-name drug. We currently manufacture and market various dosage strengths for 21 generic drug products. Fourteen of our products are produced pursuant to ANDAs. The remaining products are manufactured under an over-the-counter monogram or are drugs which do not otherwise require ANDAs. In addition, we manufacture eight dosage strengths of three distinct products for United Research Laboratories, Inc. and Mutual Pharmaceutical Company, Inc. ("URL/Mutual"), which holds the applicable ANDAs, pursuant to a Manufacturing and Supply Agreement, dated January 24, 2002. We market our products primarily to our distributors/wholesalers who sell to retail stores; the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs through a government appointed prime vendor; and to resellers who repackage our products and sell them directly to retail stores. Approximately 60% of our sales are made under our own label. The rest of our sales are to wholesalers and distributors which sell our products under their own labels. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, two of our customers collectively accounted for approximately 55%, of our total sales. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, two of our customers collectively accounted for approximately 50% of our total sales. The loss of any of our largest customers could have a material adverse effect on our business. Although we have a contractual relationship with one of our two largest customers, most of our sales are still not made pursuant to contracts, but rather through individual purchase orders. Therefore, although we have very strong relationships with our customers, most of whom have requested us to provide larger quantities of our products than we have historically sold to them, there is nothing requiring many of them to continue to purchase our products, and there can be no guarantee that they will continue to do so. We expect that as we continue to grow, a larger percentage of our revenue will be to customers with whom we will have contractual relationships. 2 BUSINESS AND CORPORATE HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT Interpharm, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1984 and operated as a family owned private company until May 30, 2003. On May 30, 2003, Interpharm, Inc. was acquired by ATEC Group, Inc. ("ATEC") which then changed its name to Interpharm Holdings, Inc. In that transaction, ATEC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Interpharm, Inc. in exchange for both ATEC common and preferred stock. Concurrently with the acquisition of Interpharm, Inc., ATEC sold its then existing computer/systems integration business to certain members of ATEC management who simultaneously resigned from ATEC. These transactions were approved by our shareholders on May 29, 2003 and are fully described in ATEC's definitive proxy statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 2, 2003. From the early 1990s until 2002, our sales were primarily composed of Ibuprofen in various dosage strengths. While our revenues increased steadily during that time, in 2002, we began an expansion plan in order to expand our product line and increase production by investment in new equipment and facilities. As a result of our expansion plans, we have invested in excess of $3.0 million in new equipment since January 1, 2003 In addition, on June 29, 2004, we acquired a new facility in Brookhaven, New York for approximately $9.4 million. We paid approximately $2.0 million of the purchase price and closing costs and financed the remaining $7.4 million with a mortgage loan. Our net sales have grown from approximately $27.5 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 to approximately $41.1 million for the year ended June 30, 2004. While overall net sales of Ibuprofen have increased by approximately $300,000, Ibuprofen, as a percentage of net sales, decreased from approximately 86% during the twelve months ended June 30, 2003, to approximately 60% during the twelve month period ended June 30, 2004. We have adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our directors, officers, employees and representatives. This code is annexed to this Form 10-K as Exhibit 99.3. Amendments to the code of ethics and any grant of a waiver from a provision of the code requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules will be available on our website and future public filings. The charter of the Nominating Committee of our Board of Directors is also annexed to this Form 10-K as Exhibit 99.4. Any of these materials may also be requested in print by writing to us, Attention: George Aronson, Chief Financial Officer, at 75 Adams Avenue, Hauppauge, New York 11788. 3 INDUSTRY THE GENERIC DRUG MARKET AND NECESSARY APPROVALS Much of the growth of the generic pharmaceutical industry has been attributed to The Drug Price Competition and Patent Term Restoration Act of 1984 (the "Waxman-Hatch Act"), which encourages generic competition. Before the Waxman-Hatch Act, generic drug manufacturers had to put their products through an approval process similar to that for the original approval for brand-name drugs. Now, there is an accelerated approval process in which the generic manufacturer needs only to demonstrate to the FDA that the generic product is bioequivalent to the brand-name product through the filing of an ANDA. The ANDA may rely on information from the brand-name drug's application with the FDA. Branded Drugs: Pharmaceutical products in the United States are generally marketed as either "brand-name" or "generic" drugs. Brand-name products are drugs generally sold by the holder of the drug's patent or through an exclusive marketing arrangement. A company that receives approval for a new drug application ("NDA") from the FDA, usually the patent holder, has the exclusive right to produce and sell the drug for about twenty years from the date of filing of the patent application. This market exclusivity generally provides brand-name products the opportunity to build up physician and customer loyalties. Generic Drugs: Once a patent on a drug expires, a manufacturer can obtain FDA approval to market a "generic" version. A generic drug is therefore usually marketed after the patent on a brand drug expires and is comparable to a brand-name drug. In fact, the FDA requires a generic drug to be identical or bio-equivalent to a brand name drug in dose, form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristic and intended use. Although generic drugs are chemically identical to their branded counterparts, they are typically sold at substantial discounts from the branded prices. According to the Congressional Budget Office, generic drugs provide savings to the consumers at an estimated amount of $8 billion to $10 billion a year at retail pharmacies, not including the saving from the use of generic drugs in hospitals and other health care facilities (see www.fda.gov/cder/ogd/). These cost savings have resulted in sustained growth of the generic pharmaceutical industry in the United States. According to a Congressional Budget Office study, "How Increased Competition from Generic Drugs has Affected Prices and Returns in the Pharmaceutical Industry," (available at HTTP://WWW.CBO.GOV/SHOWDOC.CFM?INDEX=655&SEQUENCE=0) in 1984, 19% of prescription drugs sold in the United States were generic. -As of March, 2004, more than 50% of all prescriptions are filled with generic drugs according to the FDA (see "Update from the Office of Generic Drugs," March 2, 2004 available at http://www.fda.gov/cder/ogd/2004-03-02_GPHA_Boca-gjb_files/frame.htm). 4 Over the past two years, the FDA has improved its procedures and received more funding in order to expedite the processing of ANDAs and encourage the growth of the generic drug market. On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug, Modernization and Improvement Act of 2003 (the "MMA") was enacted. The MMA seeks to bring generic drugs to market sooner in an effort to save consumers up to $35 billion over 10 years. The MMA streamlines the generic drug approval process by limiting a brand-name drug company to only one 30-month stay of a generic drug's entry into the market for resolution of a patent challenge. The MMA also establishes a 180 day exclusivity period for a generic company that successfully challenges a patent, provided that the generic drug at issue is marketed within the first 75 days of that period. BUSINESS STRATEGY AND FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 HIGHLIGHTS We have experienced substantial growth over the past few years. We believe that our continued growth is dependent upon our ability to (i) continue increasing our market share in our existing product lines by utilizing our manufacturing efficiency, cost competitiveness, and customer loyalty, (ii) obtain FDA approval for the drugs currently under development, (iii) successfully implement our research and development strategy with a view towards expanding and diversifying our product line with a focus on higher margin products, (iv) leverage our competitive strength in manufacturing to capture market share on our new product lines, (v) increase production capacity in our current plant, (vi) obtain FDA approval for our new facility in a timely manner, (vii) utilize our manufacturing efficiencies to enter into additional manufacturing and supply arrangements, (viii) enter into joint ventures and strategic alliances with companies whose strengths compliment ours, and (ix) create marketing and distribution channels for our existing and future products. MANUFACTURING CAPACITY: We currently conduct our manufacturing operations out of a leased facility of approximately 100,000 square feet with recently purchased and up to date equipment. Over the past five years, we have upgraded our facilities, including building additional tablet compression and packaging rooms, adding new air handling units and installing new manufacturing and laboratory equipment. We are currently taking steps to increase the size of this facility for products requiring segregated rooms. We believe that the most important component to our growth during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 has been our commitment to capital investment to increase production capacity. During the year ended June 30, 2004, we invested approximately $2.4 million in new machinery and equipment, and infrastructure improvements in our current plant. During the period from January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003, we invested approximately $2.2 million in equipment and improvements. Our commitment to increase capacity has allowed us to both continue to meet increasing demand for our existing products such as Ibuprofen, while, at the same time, allowing us to meet our requirements generated through various strategic alliances. 5 We realize that in order to effectuate our plans to increase and diversify our product line, we will need to continue to demonstrate our commitment to increasing our production capacity. To that end, on June 29, 2004, we completed the acquisition of a 92,000 square foot building with an additional 30,000 square feet of mezzanine space, located on over thirty-seven acres of land. The acquisition cost for the building and land, which are located in Brookhaven, New York, was approximately $9.4 million. Because the new facility is located in New York's Brookhaven Empire Zone, we will be eligible for a number of economic benefits, including, grants based on the number of employees hired, discounted utility bills and real property and other tax reductions and credits. In addition to using the new building as an additional manufacturing facility, we intend to construct a new research and development laboratory and move our corporate offices to the location. In order to be used for manufacturing, the new facility will require site approval from the FDA. Pending such approval, the facility can be used for warehousing and related activities, thereby creating additional capacity in our current manufacturing plant. Once FDA site approval is obtained, we will have two facilities with a combined size of approximately 200,000 square feet. In addition, the thirty-seven acres of land could, if needed, allow us to expand the new facility to over 500,000 square feet. Our ability to purchase our new facility and land, to renovate the new building so as to meet our production requirements and FDA requirements, to continue to increase our purchases of new machinery and equipment, and to renovate our existing plant, have been assisted through a $21 million advised line of credit obtained from HSBC Bank. Depending upon market conditions, we may continue to rely on this advised credit line, or seek other means of financing in the future. STRATEGIC ALLIANCES: URL/Mutual. In January 2002, we entered into an agreement with URL/Mutual to manufacture four drugs in various dosage strengths. The agreement is for a five-year term, which may be renewed for an additional two years. The agreement also contains a non-compete provision stating that we may not distribute any of the drugs covered by the agreement for five years after its termination. Since we do not have ANDAs for any of these products, we produce them pursuant to URL/Mutual's ANDAs, and were required to obtain Site Transfer Approvals ("STA") from the FDA. Whereas an ANDA approves the formula for a given product produced at a specified location, an STA granted by the FDA allows for the production of an approved drug at a site other than the one approved in the ANDA. In order for the FDA to approve an STA, the new production location must be shown to comply with all of the terms and conditions set forth in the approved ANDA. 6 In July 2003, we began manufacturing Atenolol Tablets for URL/Mutual. This was the first of the four products that we were scheduled to manufacture for URL/Mutual. Atenolol is a synthetic, beta-selective (cardioselective) adrenoreceptor blocking agent and a generic version of the branded drug Tenormin(R). Atenolol is indicated in the management of hypertension, for the long-term management of patients with angina pectoris, and in the management of patients with definite or suspected acute myocardial infarction to reduce cardiovascular mortality. In August 2003, we began manufacturing Allopurinol Tablets for URL/Mutual in both 100mg and 300mg strengths. Allopurinol is a xanthine oxidase inhibitor which is a generic version of the branded drug Zyloprim (R). Allopurinol is used to lower blood uric acid levels. Uric acid is produced when the body breaks down purines that are found in foods. Uric acid forms crystals in the tissues of the body to cause the inflammation of gout. Elevated blood uric acid levels can also cause kidney disease and stones. Allopurinol can be used to prevent uric acid kidney stones and to prevent recurrent gouty arthritis attacks. Allopurinol also can be used to treat patients with multiple recurrent gout attacks, erosive destructive gouty joint disease, hard lumps or uric acid deposits in tissues (called tophi), gouty kidney disease, or uric acid stones. It is also used to prevent elevation of blood uric acid in patients undergoing chemotherapy for the treatment of certain cancers. The other two products to be manufactured under our agreement with URL/Mutual are Prednisone and Amitriptyline. We began manufacturing Prednisone for URL/Mutual in 2004. Total sales for this product during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 were approximately $225,000. We anticipate that we will begin manufacturing Amitriptyline during the second fiscal quarter of the fiscal year ending June 30, 2005. Watson Pharmaceuticals. On May 18, 2004, the FDA approved our ANDA for Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Ibuprofen Tablets, 5 mg/200 mg. This product is a new lower strength version of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Ibuprofen Tablets, 7.5 mg/200 mg, which is the generic equivalent to the branded drug Vicoprofen(R). We received a six-month exclusivity for marketing of this product from the FDA. Since we are the first company to receive approval to manufacture and market this product in this strength, we were provided the opportunity to market the product as a branded generic drug. We began marketing the product under the name Reprexain(R) in June 2004, pursuant to a contract with Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, we will manufacture and supply the product to Watson, who will market, sell and distribute the product in the United States. We will receive payment from Watson based on the amount of Reprexian ordered by it for sale as well as a percentage of sales that Watson generates through its marketing efforts. Reprexain(R) is indicated for the short-term (generally less than 10 days) management of acute pain. Reprexain(R) addresses a market opportunity by combining 5 mg hydrocodone, the most commonly prescribed dose of hydrocodone in a combination with 200 mg of ibuprofen, the leading prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug; a combination not available prior to introduction of the product. Combining both central and peripheral analgesic action, Reprexain(R) offers patients a balanced approach to the management of acute pain. 7 STRATEGIC AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT: In furtherance or our expansion plans, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we began to focus on increasing our product pipeline with an emphasis on higher margin products. Historically, the majority of our revenues were derived from sales of Ibuprophen tablets in both prescription and over-the-counter strengths. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, Ibuprophen accounted for approximately 60% of our total revenue. This is a significant decrease from the same period ended 2003 when Ibuprophen accounted for approximately 86% of our total revenue. We believe that one source of higher margin products is a number of successful brand-name products for which patent protection is due to expire over the next several years. Other sources are successful generic products where we can enter with a competitive advantage in manufacturing or sourcing of raw materials. We have expanded our pipeline of drugs under development since 2002 and are formulating a plan to increase the pipeline. We currently have ten drugs that are in various stages of development. In order to assist in strategic and product development, we have added Cameron Reid to our Board of Directors. Mr. Reid has over twenty-five years of experience in the pharmaceutical business, most recently as the President of Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Inc. Mr. Reid is working with Bhupatlal Sutaria, our President, to formulate our plan to increase our pipeline and strategically plan its marketing and sale. There can be no assurances, however, that the FDA will ultimately approve the drugs that are under development. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we spent approximately $538,000 on research and development activities. As we develop our product line, we (i) identify and conduct patent and market research on brand name drugs for which patent protection has expired or will expire in the near future, (ii) determine which products would supplement our existing product line, and which products could potentially represent new opportunities, (iii) research and develop new product formulations based upon such drugs so as to ensure that FDA approval is received, and (iv) introduce technology to improve production efficiency and enhance product quality. GOVERNMENTAL REGULATION: FDA approval is required before any generic drug can be marketed through an ANDA. While the FDA has significantly streamlined the process of obtaining ANDA approval for generic drugs, it is difficult to predict how long the process will take for any specific drug. In fact, the length of time necessary to bring a product to market can vary significantly and can depend on, among other things, availability of funding, problems relating to formulation, safety or efficacy, patent issues associated with the product or barriers to market entry from brand-name product manufacturers. Therefore, there is always the risk that the introduction of new products can be delayed. 8 The ANDA process requires that a company's manufacturing procedures and operations conform to FDA requirements and guidelines, generally referred to as current Good Manufacturing Practices ("cGMP"). The requirements for FDA approval encompass all aspects of the production process, including validation and record keeping, and involve changing and evolving standards. Compliance with cGMP regulations requires substantial expenditures of time, money and effort in such areas as production and quality control to ensure full technical compliance. The evolving and complex nature of these regulatory requirements, the broad authority and discretion of the FDA and the generally high level of regulatory oversight result in a continuing possibility that we may be adversely affected by regulatory actions despite our efforts to comply with regulatory requirements. The ANDA process also requires bioequivalency studies to show that the generic drug is bioequivalent to the approved drug. Bioequivalence compares the bioavailability of one drug product with that of another formulation containing the same active ingredient. When established, bioequivalency confirms that the rate of absorption and levels of concentration in the bloodstream of a formulation of the approved drug and the generic drug are equivalent. Bioavailability indicates the rate and extent of absorption and levels of concentration of a drug product in the bloodstream needed to produce the same therapeutic effect. We contract with outside laboratories to conduct biostudies. Historically, the vast majority of our research and development expenditures have been on biostudies. While we believe that the companies contracted to perform the biostudies are reliable, there can be no assurance that they will use the proper due diligence or that their work will otherwise be accurate. Supplemental ANDAs are required for approval of various types of changes to an approved application, and these supplements may be under review for six months or more. In addition, certain types of changes may only be approved once new bioequivalency studies are conducted or other requirements are satisfied. The scientific process of developing new products and obtaining FDA approval is complex, costly and time consuming and there can be no assurance that any products will be developed and approved despite the amount spent on research and development. The development of products may be curtailed in the early or later stages of development due to the introduction of competing generic products or for other strategic reasons. Even if an ANDA is approved, brand-name companies can impose substantial barriers to market entry which may include: filing new patents on drugs whose original patent protection is about to expire, developing patented controlled-release products or other product improvements, developing and marketing, as over-the-counter products, brand-name products that will soon face generic competition, and commencement of marketing initiatives, regulatory activities and litigation. While none of these actions have been taken against us to date, there can be no assurance that they will not be taken in the future, particularly as we significantly expand our product development efforts. 9 In addition to the Federal government, individual states have laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals, as well as regulations pertaining to the substitution of generic drugs for brand-name drugs. Our operations are subject to regulation, licensing requirements and inspection by the states in which we are located or conduct business. We must also comply with federal, state and local laws of general applicability, such as laws regulating working conditions and equal opportunity employment. Additionally, we are subject, as are all manufacturers, to various federal, state and local environmental protection laws and regulations, including those governing the discharge of materials into the environment. Historically, the costs of complying with such environmental provisions have not had a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash requirements or competitive position, and we do not expect such costs to have any such material adverse effect in the foreseeable future. However, if changes to such environmental provisions are made that require significant changes in our operations or the expenditure of significant funds, such changes could have a material adverse effect on our earnings, cash requirements or competitive position. As a public company, we are subject to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the "SOX Act"). The SOX Act contains a variety of provisions affecting public companies, including the relationship with its auditors, prohibiting loans to executive officers and requiring an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls. The federal government made significant changes to Medicaid drug reimbursement as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 ("OBRA"). Generally, OBRA provides that a generic drug manufacturer must offer the states an 11% rebate on drugs dispensed under the Medicaid program and must enter into a formal drug rebate agreement with the Federal Health Care Financing Administration. Although not required under OBRA, we have also entered into similar agreements with various states. Continuing studies of the proper utilization, safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical products are being conducted by the pharmaceutical industry, government agencies and others. Such studies, which increasingly employ sophisticated methods and techniques, can call into question the utilization, safety and efficacy of previously marketed products. There can be no assurances that these studies will not, in the future, result in the discontinuance of product marketing. MARKETING STRATEGY: We market our products primarily through wholesalers, drug distributors, other manufacturers and by our internal sales staff, as well as independent sales representatives. In addition, we have also begun to market products through strategic alliances with companies, such as Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., whose marketing expertise exceeds our own. Some of our wholesalers and distributors purchase products that are warehoused for drug chains, independent pharmacies, state and federal governmental agencies and managed healthcare organizations. Consistent with industry practice, we have a returned goods policy. Pursuant to our policy, any unopened item in its original packaging may be returned if accompanied by (i) an authorization form obtained from Interpharm, and a "Returned Goods Authorization Number" with a proof of purchase. Transportation charges for returns are paid by the customer. If the foregoing procedures are followed, we will return the customer's original purchase price or the current market price, whichever is lower. 10 Pursuant to our return policy, we will not accept any of the following for return, unless we have an agreement with a party which dictates otherwise: (i) short-dated products (14 months or less remaining on the expiration date), (ii) expired products, products which have been opened, tampered with or which have a broken seal, (iii) products which have stickers or other price markings, (iv) products which have been damaged by improper handling, fire, flood or other catastrophes, (v) products stored under conditions other than as specified on the label, (vi) products returned by someone other than the direct purchaser, or (vii) products without proof of purchase. We have not experienced returns of material quantities of any of the products we sell and therefore, do not believe that we are subject to material risk of inventory buildup attributable to returns. RAW MATERIALS: The raw materials that we use in the manufacturing of our products consist of pharmaceutical chemicals in various forms, which are available from various sources. FDA approval is required in connection with the process of selecting active ingredient suppliers. The raw materials purchased from these suppliers are available from a number of vendors. In selecting a vendor, we consider not only their status as an FDA approved supplier, but consistency of their products, timeliness of delivery, and price. To date, we have experienced no significant difficulty in obtaining raw materials and expect that raw materials will generally continue to be available in the future. However, should we be required to replace one or more of our suppliers, we may experience a delay of six months or more in the manufacture and marketing of the drug involved while the new supplier becomes qualified by the FDA and its manufacturing process is found to meet FDA standards. Depending on the particular product, it may cause a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We generally attempt, where economically and otherwise feasible, to minimize these risks by having more than one approved supplier for the drugs that we manufacture. PRODUCTS Below is a list of the drugs that we manufacture and sell, including the drugs that we are currently manufacturing pursuant to our agreement with URL/Mutual.

COMPETITION The generic pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive. Most of our significant competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial, research and development, marketing and other resources. Consequently, many of our competitors may develop products and/or processes competitive with, or superior to, ours. The primary means of competition in the generic pharmaceutical industry involve manufacturing capabilities and efficiencies, innovation and development, timely FDA approval, product quality, marketing, reputation, level of service, including the maintenance of sufficient inventory levels to assure timely delivery of products, product appearance and price. Often, price is the key factor in the generic pharmaceutical business. Therefore, to compete effectively and remain profitable, a generic drug manufacturer must manufacture its products in a cost effective manner. We believe that we maintain adequate levels of inventories to meet customer demand and have them readily available. Also, the modernization of our facility, hiring of experienced staff, and implementation of quality control programs have improved our competitive position in recent years. In addition, once our new facility obtains FDA site approval, we believe that our competitive position should be further improved. 13 During the past several years the number of chain drug stores and wholesaler customers has declined due to industry consolidation. In addition, the remaining chain drug stores and wholesaler customers have instituted buying programs that have caused them to buy more products from fewer suppliers. At the same time, mail-order prescription services and managed care organizations have grown in importance and they also limit the number of vendors. The reduction in the number of our customers and limitation on the number of vendors by the remaining customers has increased competition among generic drug marketers. However, these pressures have not had a material adverse impact on our business and we believe that we have good relationships with our key customers. In addition to generic manufacturers, we have also experienced competition from brand-name companies that have purchased generic companies or license their products to generic companies prior to, or as relevant patents expire. No further regulatory approvals are required for a brand-name manufacturer to sell its pharmaceutical products directly or through a third party to the generic market, nor do such manufacturers face any other significant barriers for entry into such market. As is the case with many generic pharmaceutical manufacturers, many of our competitors have longer operating histories and greater financial resources than us. Consequently, some of these competitors may have larger production capabilities, may be able to develop products at a significantly faster pace at a reduced cost, and may be able to devote far greater resources to marketing their product lines. Certain manufacturers of brand-name drugs and/or their affiliates have been introducing generic pharmaceutical products equivalent to such brand-name drugs at relatively low prices. Such pricing, with its attendant diminished profit margins, could have the effect of inhibiting us and other manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products from developing and introducing generic pharmaceutical products comparable to certain brand-name drugs. Also, consolidation among wholesalers, distributors, and repackagers, and technological advances in the industry and pricing pressures from large buying groups, may create pricing pressure, which could reduce our profit margins on our product lines. In addition, increased price competition among manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products, resulting from new generic pharmaceutical products being introduced into the market and other generic pharmaceutical products being reintroduced into the market, has led to an increase in demands by customers for downward price adjustments by the manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products. No assurance can be given that such price adjustments, which reduce gross profit margins, will not continue, or even increase, with a consequent adverse effect on our earnings. Brand-name companies also pursue other strategies to prevent or delay generic competition. These strategies may include: seeking to establish regulatory and legal obstacles that would make it more difficult to demonstrate bioequivalence, initiating legislative efforts in various states to limit the substitution of generic versions of certain types of brand-name pharmaceuticals, instituting legal action that automatically delays approval of generic products, the approval of which requires certifications that the brand-name drug's patents are invalid or unenforceable, or introducing "second generation" products prior to the expiration of market exclusivity for the reference product, obtaining extensions of market exclusivity by conducting trials of brand-name drugs, persuading the FDA to withdraw the approval of brand-name drugs, for which the patents are about to expire, thus allowing the brand-name company to obtain new patented products serving as substitutes for the products withdrawn, or seeking to obtain new patents on drugs for which patent protection is about to expire. 14 The ability of brand-name companies to successfully delay generic competition in any of our targeted new product lines may adversely affect our ability to enter into the desired product line or may impact our ability to attain our desired market share for that product. The Food and Drug Modernization Act of 1997 includes a pediatric exclusivity provision that may provide an additional six months of market exclusivity for indications of new or currently marketed drugs if certain agreed upon pediatric studies are completed by the applicant. Brand-name companies are utilizing this provision to extend periods of market exclusivity. BACKLOG We do not have a significant backlog, as we normally deliver products purchased by our customers within a short time of the date of order. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS On December 5, 2002, our bid was accepted by the Department of Veterans Affairs to supply Ibuprofen tablets for the period January 2, 2003 through January 1, 2004. This bid provides for four one-year renewals at the option of the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Department of Veterans Affairs exercised that option for the period January 2, 2004 through January 1, 2005. The bid covers sales to a number of government entities including: all Department of Veterans Affairs facilities, all Indian Health Service facilities, Department of Health and Human Service Supply Center at Perry Point and all Option 2 State Veterans Homes. PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS We do not own any Patents or Trademarks that are currently used in our business. We have, however, entered into several agreements giving us the rights to use the trademarks and tradenames of other parties for labeling and marketing of certain drugs. EMPLOYEES As of June 30, 2004, we had 322 full time employees, of which 247 were employed in manufacturing, 56 were employed in quality assurance and regulatory affairs, 15 were employed in selling, general and administrative activities, and 4 were employed in research and development. We believe we have a strong relationship with our employees. None of our employees are represented by a union. 15 SEASONALITY While we believe that our business is generally not seasonal, we typically experience a decrease in orders in the fiscal quarter ending September 30 as compared to other quarters. We believe that this decrease in orders is primarily the result of decreased demand for certain over the counter cold remedies and other products in the summer months and because many purchasing agents tend to take vacations during this time and order more products prior to, or after the quarter. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY We lease an entire building in Hauppauge, New York, pursuant to a non-cancellable lease expiring in October, 2019, which houses our manufacturing, warehousing and some of our executive offices. The leased building is approximately 100,000 square feet and is located in an industrial/office park. The current annual lease payments to the landlord, Sutaria Family Realty, LLC, are $480,000. Sutaria Family Realty, LLC is owned by Mona Rametra, Perry Sutaria and Raj Sutaria, who collectively own 9,663,983 shares of our common stock, 456,562 shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock and 1,757,480 shares of our Series K Preferred Stock and are the children of Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our Chief Executive Officer, and the niece and nephews of Bhupatlal K. Sutaria, our President. Mona Rametra is also the wife of our General Counsel and Secretary, Munish K. Rametra. In addition, Raj Sutaria is an officer of Interpharm, Inc. Upon a change in ownership of the Company, and every three years thereafter, the annual base rent will be adjusted to fair market value, as determined by an independent appraisal. There are no tenants in the building other than us. We also lease approximately 23,175 square feet of office space at 69 Mall Drive in Commack, New York for some our executive offices. The lease for this office space expires in May, 2005. The annual lease payments are approximately $187,000. During the remaining eleven months of this lease, we have sublet approximately18,500 square feet for $139,000. On June 29, 2004, pursuant to a contract entered into on November 14, 2003, and through our wholly owned subsidiary, Interpharm Realty, LLC, we purchased a 92,000 square foot facility on thirty seven acres of land, located at 50 Horseblock Road in Brookhaven, New York. The purchase price for the building and land was approximately $9.4 million. The new facility is located in Suffolk County, New York's Brookhaven Empire Zone. We will construct an expanded research and development laboratory at the new location which will also house our executive offices. 16 ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Because Interpharm, Inc. utilizes certain controlled substances, it is subject to routine inspection by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency. In June, 2004, Interpharm, Inc. received a notice from the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York relating to a routine inspection conducted in November, 2003. The notice references certain alleged record keeping violations. As of the date of this report, no complaint has been filed by the United States Attorney's Office, and Interpharm, Inc. is in the process of setting up a meeting with the United States Attorney's Office to resolve the matter. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of this claim and, accordingly, no adjustments have been made in the consolidated financial statements. ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS No matters were submitted to a vote of our securityholders during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004. 17 PART II ITEM 5.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Interpharm Holdings, Inc. ("Interpharm," "we," or "us"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic over-the-counter and prescription strength pharmaceutical products. We make sales both under our own label and to wholesalers and distributors which sell our products under their labels. We market our products primarily to wholesalers, drug distributors, repackagers, and other manufacturers through our internal sales staff as well as independent sales representatives. Some of our wholesalers and distributors purchase products that are warehoused for drug chains, independent pharmacies, state and federal governmental agencies and managed healthcare organizations. Sales are recognized when the product is shipped and appropriate provisions are made for returns, rebates and chargebacks. Our operating results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 reflect our continuing expansion plan, including continuing investments in increasing our production capacity and our pursuit of strategic alliances. Presented below are some of our financial highlights for the year ended June 30, 2004 and the unaudited twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. Twelve Months Fiscal Year Ended Ended June 30, 2004 June 30, 2003 (Audited) (Unaudited) ------------------------------------- Revenue Increased 49% $41,099,728 $27,522,243 Gross Profit Increased 95% $9,794,835 $5,021,829 Operating Income Increased 152% $5,060,375 $2,011,597 Net Income Increased 168% $3,122,821 $1,163,262 We believe that a key component of our growth has been, and, will continue to be, our commitment to capital investment to increase production capacity. During the past year, we invested approximately $2.4 million in new machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements. Further, on June 29, 2004, we closed on the purchase of a 92,000 square foot facility in Brookhaven, New York. Once FDA approval is obtained, this facility will double our current available space of approximately 100,000 square feet and provide us with sufficient additional acreage for potential further expansion of our production facilities in the future. Until we obtain FDA approval for manufacturing at the Brookhaven facility, we may use the new facility for warehousing and other activities, which would enable us to free up space for additional manufacturing in our current plant. 23 On May 18, 2004, the FDA approved our ANDA for Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Ibuprofen Tablets, 5 mg/200 mg. This product is a new lower strength version of Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Ibuprofen Tablets, 7.5 mg/200 mg, which is the generic equivalent to the branded drug Vicoprofen(R). We received a six-month exclusivity period for marketing of this product from the FDA. Since we are the first company to receive approval to manufacture and market this product in this strength, we were provided the opportunity to market the product as a branded generic drug. We began marketing the product under the name Reprexain(R) in June 2004, pursuant to a contract with Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the contract, we will manufacture and supply the product to Watson, which will market, sell and distribute the product in the United States. We will receive payment from Watson based on the amount of Reprexian ordered by it for sale as well as a percentage of sales that Watson generates through its marketing efforts. In furtherance of our expansion plans, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we began to focus on increasing our product pipeline with an emphasis on higher margin products. Historically, the majority of our revenues were derived from sales of Ibuprofen tablets in both prescription and over-the-counter strengths. During our fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, Ibuprofen accounted for approximately 60% of our total revenue. This is a significant decrease from the same period ended 2003 when Ibuprofen accounted for approximately 86% of our total revenue. As we continue to implement our expansion plan, we are focusing our efforts to (i) continue increasing our market share in our existing product lines by utilizing our manufacturing efficiency, cost competitiveness, and customer loyalty, (ii) obtain FDA approval for the drugs currently under development, (iii) successfully implement our research and development strategy with a view towards expanding and diversifying immensely increasingly our product line with a focus on higher margin products to a more diversified portfolio of products resulting in higher margins, (iv) leverage off of our competitive strengths in manufacturing to capture market share on our new product lines, (v) increase production capacity in our current plant, (vi) obtain FDA approval for our new facility in a timely manner, (vii) utilize our manufacturing efficiencies to enter into additional manufacturing and supply arrangements, (viii) enter into joint ventures and strategic alliances with companies whose strengths compliment ours, and (ix) create marketing and distribution channels for our existing and future products. 24 FISCAL YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 COMPARED TO TWELVE-MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 (All financial information for the twelve months ended June 30, 2003 is Unaudited) FOR THE TWELVE FOR THE TWELVE MONTHS ENDED MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2004 JUNE 30, 2003 AUDITED UNAUDITED -------------- -------------- SALES, Net $ 41,099,728 $ 27,522,243 COST OF SALES 31,304,893 22,500,414 GROSS PROFIT 9,794,835 5,021,829 -------------- -------------- Gross profit percentage 23.83% 18.25% -------------- -------------- OPERATING EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses 4,124,261 2,485,863 Related party rent expense 72,000 72,000 Research and development 538,199 452,369 -------------- -------------- TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES 4,734,460 3,010,232 -------------- -------------- OPERATING INCOME 5,060,374 2,011,597 -------------- -------------- OTHER INCOME (EXPENSES) Related party interest expense -- (163,187) Interest expense (21,368) (112,860) Interest and other income 69,451 8,229 -------------- -------------- TOTAL OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE) 48,084 (267,818) -------------- -------------- INCOME BEFORE INCOME TAXES INCOME TAX EXPENSE 5,108,457 1,743,779 1,985,638 580,517 -------------- -------------- NET INCOME $ 3,122,820 $ 1,163,262 ============== ============== Net Sales and Gross Profit Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 were $41.1 million compared to $27.5 million for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of 49.3% or $13.6 million. Our increase in sales was attributable to increased sales of Allopurinol, Atenolol and Naproxen which totaled approximately$13.8 million compared to approximately $1.8 million for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. We launched production of Naproxen in December 2001 and have experienced an increase in sales primarily as the result of customer awareness of our entry into this market and their willingness to increase orders. We did not sell Allopurinol during the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. 25 The increase in net sales was not attributable to any change in prices which, for our entire product line, remained stable. Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 increased approximately $4.8 million, or 95%, to $9.8 million, compared to $5.0 million for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. In addition, our gross profit percentage increased 5.6 percentage points from 18.3% for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003 to 23.8% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. Our increased margins are primarily the result of the diversification of our product line to higher margin drugs as well as increased manufacturing efficiency. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, two customers accounted for approximately 29% and 26% of total sales, respectively. Cost of Sales Cost of sales increased $8.8 million to $31.3 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, or 39.1% from $22.5 million for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to increased production and sales. Significant factors contributing to the increase are: (i) approximately $4.6 million, or 51.7% is attributable to the cost of raw materials, increased quantities of which were necessary due to increased production. Raw material prices were relatively constant during the period; (ii) approximately $2.0 million, or 23.0%, was for increased labor costs, including payroll taxes and benefits, and (iii) approximately $750,000 or 8.5% is attributable to increased costs of packaging, lab and factory supplies. We continued to increase our production capabilities to satisfy increasing demand from existing customers. The increase in production is attributable to our continued efforts to grow our new product lines, as well as increased production of Ibuprofen. Research and Development Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 were approximately $538,000 compared to approximately $452,000 for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of approximately $86,000. Research and development expenses were primarily for materials, wages and biostudies for new drugs currently in development. We believe that research and development expenses will represent a substantially larger percentage of our net sales in the future as we seek to expand our product line. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.1 million, in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, or 10.0% of net sales, compared to $2.5 million, or 9.0% of net sales, for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 were primarily made up of salaries, including payroll taxes and benefits ($1,461,000), selling commissions ($577,000), freight expenses ($419,000), legal, accounting and other professional services ($587,000), insurance expense ($170,000) and utilities ($108,000). Salaries, including payroll taxes and benefits increased $863,000, or 144.1% from the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003 due to increases in staff to accommodate increased production. Selling commissions, utilities, insurance and freight similarly increased by 226.3%, 61.2%, 48.7% and 28.7% respectively, from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003 due to increased production and sales. 26 Operating Income Operating income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 increased approximately $3.1 million, or 151.6%, to approximately $5.1 million from approximately $2.0 million in the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. The increase in operating income is primarily the result of our increasing net sales $13.6 million, diversification of our product line to higher margin drugs and increased manufacturing efficiencies. Income Taxes Our provision for income taxes for the year ended June 30, 2004 increased approximately $1,405,000 to $1,986,000 when compared to $581,000 for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. This is primarily due to the 193.0% increase in income before income taxes of $3,365,000 when comparing $5,109,000 to $1,744,000 for the years ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We currently finance our operations and capital expenditures through cash flows from operations, bank loans, lines of credit, cash acquired in our reverse merger in May, 2003 and cash received from the exercises of stock options. Net income for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $3.1 million, an increase of $2.0 million from $1.1 million for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003. Net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was $1.9 million, as compared to $1.2 million for the same period last year. Net cash from operating activities during this period increased $2.0 million as a result of realizing $2.0 million in cash savings from the tax benefits associated wih the exercise of stock options, as well as depreciation and amortization expenses of $886,000. Net cash was substantially offet by increases in accounts receivable ($2.0 million) and inventories ($947,000). The increase in inventories occurred gradually throughout the fiscal year in order to accommodate increasing demand for our products. Net cash was also offset by a decrease of $784,000 in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. Other items affecting our net cash provided from operating activities aggregated $370,000. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we were able to pay down bank loans aggregating $462,000 and bank lines of credit by $1.64 million, in total approximately $2.1 million. As discussed in Note 8, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we recently obtained a $21,000,000 credit facility consisting of: o A $7,400,000 mortgage loan which is to be repaid with 119 monthly installments, based upon an amortization schedule of twenty years, and a balloon payment due in ten years for the balance. 27 o Two advised credit lines aggregating $6,600,000 primarily to acquire new equipment and for renovations of the Company's new Brookhaven, NY plant. The balance of the funds accessed through these credit lines will convert to fully amortizing five year term loans. o A $2 million advised non-revolving secured facility for equipment purchases. Each advance cannot exceed 90% of the invoice amount of the new equipment and is convertible into separate notes that fully amortize over 60 months. o A $5,000,000 advised line of credit primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. This new credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets. At our option, interest will generally be calculated at (i) LIBOR plus 1.5% for 3 to 36 months periods, or (ii) at the Bank's then fixed prime rate. In addition, we will be required to comply with certain financial covenants. The Bank will review the new credit facility annually; the next review is scheduled to occur no later than November 30, 2004. The credit lines are terminable by the Bank at any time as to undrawn amounts. Net cash used in investing activities was $2.9 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which is as a result of increases in fixed assets of $2.4 million and the downpayment for a new facility of $2.0 million in Brookhaven, New York, offset by the collection of $1.5 million of notes receivable from our reverse merger with Atec Group, Inc., and the sale of property and equipment of $19,000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, which resulted from the receipt of $3.5 million from option exercises and $64,000 of additional cash received after the reverse merger transaction, less repayment of various bank lines and notes of approximately $2.1 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2004, the Company paid down the complete balance owing on the general lines of credit of $424,847. As a result of our cash flows from operations and financing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, working capital increased $6.2 million to $11.7 million from $5.5 million at June 30, 2003. We believe our advised bank lines of credit, increased working capital, funds generated from operations and cash provided by option exercises will allow us to continue our expansion plans and will be sufficient to continue meet our operating requirements. We may nevertheless, choose to raise additional funds or seek other financing arrangements to facilitate more rapid expansion and additional research and development activities. There can be no assurance, however, that such additional funds will be available, or, if available, on commercially acceptable terms. At June 30, 2004, we had approximately $12.2 million in Federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") available to reduce future taxable income. These NOLs could result in savings of approximately $4.5 million in future income tax payments (although there will be no corresponding benefit on income tax expenses). 28 Accounts Receivable Our accounts receivable at June 30, 2004 was $6.8 million as compared to $4.9 million at June 30, 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004. The average number of days outstanding of our accounts receivable for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004 was 51. 6 days and for the twelve-months ended June 30, 2003 was 60.5 days. Inventory At June 30, 2004, our inventory was $5.5 million as compared to $4.6 million at June 30, 2003. We believe the increase in inventory is necessary in order to maintain our growth and overall customer demands. Our turnover of inventory was 6.19 turns at June 30, 2004 and 6.23 at June 30, 2003. Accounts Payable Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, in the aggregate, decreased approximately $769,000. We believed it was important to improve our relationships with key vendors. As such, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, we reduced our overall accounts payable when compared to June 30, 2003. Cash and Cash Equivalents During the year ended June 30, 2004, cash and cash equivalents increased $548,000 from $2,336,000 at June 30, 2003 to $2,885,000 at June 30, 2004, primarily among other factor the result of: (i) collection of $1,524,000 of notes receivable associated with the reverse merger and (ii) through the collection of approximately $3,520,000 from the exercise of stock options. These inflows were offset by: (i) net cash used in operating activities of $1,947,000, consisting of net income of $3,123,000, offset by net funds used in operating activities of $1,176,000; (ii) the cash used for the acquisition of our new facility as well as new packaging equipment and other fixed assets aggregating $4,424,000; and (iii) repayment of various bank lines of credit and bank notes payable totaling approximately $2,102,000. We believe that one of the most important factors in our ability to continue to grow our business will be our ability to launch new products. To that end, we plan to devote substantially greater resources to our research and development efforts than we have in previous years. In addition, we plan to continue to devote substantial resources to increasing our production capacity through the purchase of new equipment and otherwise improving our production facility. While we anticipate that our cash flow and current credit arrangements will be sufficient for at least the next 12 to 18 months, we may choose to raise additional funds or seek other financing arrangements to facilitate more rapid expansion, to develop new products at a faster pace, or to acquire or invest in complimentary businesses, technologies, services or products. 29 OUR OBLIGATIONS As of June 30, 2004, our obligations and the periods in which they are scheduled to become due are set forth in the following table: DUE IN LESS DUE DUE DUE THAN 1 IN 1-3 IN 4-5 AFTER 5 OBLIGATION TOTAL YEAR YEARS YEARS YEARS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lines of credit(1) $ 424,847 $ 424,847 $ -- $ -- $ -- Bank notes payable(1) $ 7,400,000 $ 339,197 $ 740,000 $ 740,000 $ 5,580,803 Operating leases $ 7,500,839 $ 620,839 $ 960,000 $ 960,000 $ 4,960,000 ------------ ------------- ------------ ------------- ------------- Total cash obligations $ 15,325,686 $ 1,384,883 $ 1,700,000 $ 1,700,000 $ 10,540,803 ============ ============= ============ ============= ============= (1) See "Bank Loans and Lines of Credit," below.

We are in compliance with all of the above covenants. Bank Loans and Lines of Credit Our advised credit lines and loans are fully described in Note 8 of the accompanying financial statements. Leases We lease an entire building in Hauppauge, New York, pursuant to a non-cancellable lease expiring in October, 2019, which houses our manufacturing, warehousing and some executive offices. The leased building is approximately 100,000 square feet and is located in an industrial/office park. The current annual lease payments to the landlord, Sutaria Family Realty, LLC, are $480,000. Sutaria Family Realty, LLC is owned by Mona Rametra, Perry Sutaria and Raj Sutaria. Upon a change in ownership of the Company, and every three years thereafter, the annual base rent will be adjusted to fair market value, as determined by an independent appraisal. There are no tenants in the building other than us. 30 We also lease approximately 23,175 square feet of office space at 69 Mall Drive in Commack, New York for some of our executive offices. The lease for this office space expires in May 2005. The annual lease payments are approximately $187,000 and we have sublet 18,500 square feet for $164,000 per year. During the remaining eleven months of this lease, we have sublet approximately18,500 square feet for $139,000. FOR SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2003 COMPARED TO JUNE 30, 2002 (All June 30, 2002 financial information is unaudited.) Financial Highlights o Net sales increased 27.3% or $3.2 million to $14.9 million from $11.7 million. o Gross profit increased 27.0% or $580,000 to $2.7 million from $2.1 million. o Operating income increased 15.6% or $168,000 to $1.2 million from $1.0 million. o Net income increased 18.5% or $113,000 to $724,000 from $611,000. Net Sales and Gross Profit Net sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 were $15.0 million compared to $11.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, an increase of 27.3% or $3.2 million. The increase in sales is primarily attributable to increased orders from our existing customers resulting from our increased production capacity. We launched production of Naproxen in December 2001. We have experienced an increase in our sales of Naproxen which is primarily the result of customer awareness of our entry into this market and their willingness to increase orders for Naproxen as they do for Ibuprofen. The increase in net sales was not attributable to any change in prices which, for our entire product line, remained stable. Gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $2.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2003, two customers accounted for approximately 50% of total sales. Cost of Sales Cost of sales increased $2.6 million to $12.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, or 27.4% from $9.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, primarily due to increased production and sales. Approximately $1.9 million, or 72.2% of this increase is attributable to the cost of raw materials, increased quantities of which were necessary due to increased production. Raw material prices were constant during the period. Approximately $386,000, or 14.7%, was for increased labor costs, including payroll taxes and benefits. Approximately $242,000 or 9.2% is attributable to increased costs of packaging, lab and factory supplies. 31 We continued to increase our production capabilities to satisfy increasing demand from existing customers. The increase in production is attributable to our continued efforts to grow Naproxen, as well as increased production of Ibuprofen. Research and Development Research and development expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 were $186,000 or 1% of net sales, compared to $149,000, or 1% of net sales for the same period in 2002, an increase of $37,000. Research and development expenses were used primarily for materials and biostudies for new drugs currently in development. We believe that research and development expenses will represent a substantially larger percentage of our net sales in the future as we seek to expand our product line. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.3 million, in the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, or 8.5% of net sales, compared to $900,000, or 7.6% of net sales, for the same period in 2002. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 were primarily made up of salaries, including payroll taxes and benefits ($320,000), selling commissions ($91,000), freight expenses ($197,000), legal, accounting and other professional services ($252,000), insurance expense ($71,000), bad debts ($40,000), and utilities ($40,000). Salaries increased $40,000, or 14.3% from the six month period ended June 30, 2002 due to increases in staff to accommodate increased production. Legal, accounting and other professional services increased $204,000, or 429.7% from the six month period ended June 30, 2002. This increase is attributable to costs associated with the acquisition of Interpharm, Inc. by ATEC and the increased legal and accounting expenses resulting from being a public company. No sales were made to any customer whose balance was written off during the six month period ended June 30, 2003. Operating Income Operating income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 increased $168,000 to $1.2 million as compared to $1.1 million, or 15.6% as compared to the same period ended June 30, 2002. The six-month period ended June 30, 2003 included an increase of approximately $204,000 of legal, professional and accounting costs, as compared to the same period in 2002. These increased expenses are the result of the acquisition of Interpharm, Inc., by ATEC which was consummated on May 30, 2003, and the legal and accounting fees associated with being a public company. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, there were no such fees. 32 Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 was 35% compared to 34% for 2002. Our deferred tax asset was primarily attributable to New York State investment tax and employment incentive tax credits. The tax credits utilized are limited to the state taxes computed on the minimum taxable income base. These tax credits also expire in 15 years if not utilized. We estimated a reserve for the deferred tax asset based upon prior years' actual credits utilized and projected credits to be utilized on future taxable income. The valuation allowance reserve has decreased due to our increased taxable income which has utilized more credits and our estimate of future growth which has reduced the estimated credits that will not be utilized. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Cash flows from operations were $200,000 during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. As a result of Interpharm, Inc.'s cash flows from operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 and the sale of Atec Group, Inc.'s computer operations on May 30, 2003, working capital increased $2.9 million to $5.2 million from $2.3 million at December 31, 2002. We believe that Interpharm, Inc.'s working capital and cash provided by operating activities are sufficient to meet its operating needs for the next 12 months. Net cash used in investing activities for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 was approximately $1.0 million related to the purchase of production equipment. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, we generated approximately $3.1 million including approximately $2.1 million (net of $190,000 of costs) from the reverse merger with ATEC and $1.1 million of proceeds from our bank credit line. The exercise of 2,187,863 options from July 1, 2003 to September 12, 2003 resulted in cash proceeds to us of $2.7 million. These options were outstanding prior to the closing of the transaction with ATEC. In addition, promissory notes in the amount of $1.5 million from the purchaser of Atec Group, Inc.'s computer business were collected subsequent to June 30, 2003. In August 2003, we increased our credit lines from $3.5 million (at December 31, 2002) to $7 million. In addition, we retired approximately $3.3 million in related party loans to Interpharm in exchange for our Series A-1 Preferred Stock. We believe that our increased liquidity will afford us the opportunity to increase our Research and Development expenditures on a more aggressive pace than in previous years. At June 30, 2003, we have approximately $7.7 million in Federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") available to reduce future taxable income. These NOLs could result in savings of up to $3.0 million in future income tax payments (although there will be no effect on income tax expenses). 33 In addition, the exercise of 2,251,382 employee stock options and warrants from July 1, 2003 to September 24, 2003 resulted in additional future tax deductions approximating $9.0 million which could result in cash savings of up to $3.0 million. Accounts Receivable Our accounts receivable at June 30, 2003 was $4.9 million as compared to $4.2 million at December 31, 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to the increase in sales for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003. The average number of days outstanding of our accounts receivable for the six-month period ended June 30, 2003 consistently ranged from 54 to 59 days. Inventory In late 2000 and early 2001, Interpharm, Inc. commenced a program to increase inventory production levels to meet demand created by increasing sales. At June 30, 2003, our inventory increased to $4.6 million from $3.4 million at December 31, 2002, which is a level we believe to be sufficient to meet current demand. Accounts Payable The accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased approximately $1.2 million and amounts due on our working capital credit line increased $1.1 million from December 31, 2002. This increase is primarily attributable to increased inventory production to meet demand. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2003 were $2.3 million as compared to $106,000 at December 31, 2002, an increase of $2.2 million. This increase is primarily attributable to the proceeds from the sale of ATEC computer operations, Interpharm, Inc.'s cash flow from operating activities and net bank borrowings of approximately $1.0 million. Offsetting these events were equipment purchases of $1,031,000 during the six month period ending June 30, 2003. We believe that one of the most important factors in our ability to continue to grow our business will be our ability to launch new products. To that end, we plan to devote substantially greater resources to our research and development efforts than we have in previous years. In addition, we plan to continue to devote substantial resources to increasing our production capacity through the purchase of new equipment and otherwise improving our production facility. While we anticipate that our cash flow and current credit arrangements will be sufficient for at least the next 12 to 18 months, we may choose to raise additional funds or seek other financing arrangements to facilitate more rapid expansion, to develop new products at a faster pace, or to acquire or invest in complimentary businesses, technologies, services or products. 34 From time to time in the past, Interpharm, Inc.'s shareholders, directors, and officers had made loans to it for working capital. As of December 31, 2002, each of theses loans was paid by Interpharm, Inc. with the exception of a loan with a $3.0 million principal balance from Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria to Interpharm, Inc. and a $311,375 loan from a shareholder. Both loans were converted into Series A-1 preferred stock on May 30, 2003. FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2002 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 31, 2001 Financial Highlights o Net sales increased 32% or $5.9 million to $24.3 million from $18.4 million. o Gross profit increased 27% or $0.9 million to $4.4 million from $3.5 million. o Operating income increased 80% or $0.8 million to $1.8 million from $1.0 million. o Net income increased 104% or $535,854 to $1,050,419 from $514,565. Net Sales and Gross Profit Net sales for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were $24.3 million compared to $18.4 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, an increase of $5.9 million. Of this 32% increase in net sales approximately $5.1 million is attributable to increased orders from existing customers spread evenly across Interpharm, Inc.'s product lines and resulting from Interpharm, Inc.'s increased production capacity and $800,000 is attributable to the introduction of Naproxen to Interpharm, Inc.'s product line. The increase in net sales was not attributable to any change in prices which, for all products in Interpharm, Inc.'s product line, remained stable from the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 to the year ended December 31, 2002. Gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $4.4 million, an increase of 22% or $900,000 from the $3.5 million for the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2002, two Interpharm, Inc. customers accounted for approximately 48% of Interpharm, Inc.'s total sales. Cost of Sales Cost of sales increased to $19.9 million in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, or 34% from $14.9 million in the prior year due to increased production. Approximately $3.7 million, or 73% of this increase is primarily raw material purchases and approximately $1.0 million, or 12%, was for increased labor costs. Raw material prices were constant during the period. Interpharm, Inc. increased its production to satisfy existing demand from existing customers which have additional purchasing capacity. The increase in production is attributable to the introduction of Naproxen as well as increased production of Ibuprofen and Iso Cap, the production of which increased 25% and 30% respectively. 35 Research and Development Research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were $415,618, or 2% of net sales, compared to $110,000, or 1% of net sales in 2001, an increase of $305,618. Research and development expenses were used primarily for materials and biostudies for new drugs currently in development. Selling, General and Administrative Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.1 million, in the year ended December 31, 2002, or 9% of net sales, compared to $2.0 million, or 11% of net sales, for 2001. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 were primarily made up of salaries ($492,000), selling commissions ($164,000), freight expenses ($370,000), legal, accounting and other professional services ($328,000), repairs and maintenance costs ($74,000) and insurance expense ($23,000). Salaries increased $37,000 due to increases in staff to accommodate increased production. In addition, bad debt expense decreased by $214,000 due to the write-off of one customer balance in the preceding year and write-offs occurring during the year ended December 31, 2002 were $47,000. No sales were made to the customer whose balance was written off in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002. Income Taxes The effective tax rate for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002 was 32% compared to 29% for 2001. The increase in the effective tax rate for 2002 was primarily due to a decrease in the net deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the 2001 fiscal period. The deferred tax asset was primarily attributable to New York State investment tax and employment incentive tax credits. The tax credits utilized are limited to the state taxes computed on the minimum taxable income base. These tax credits also expire in 15 years if not utilized. Management has estimated a reserve for the deferred tax asset based upon prior years' actual credits utilized and projected credits to be utilized on future taxable income. The valuation allowance reserve has decreased due to Interpharm, Inc.'s increased taxable income which has utilized more credits and management's estimate of future growth which has reduced the estimated credits that will not be utilized. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES - DECEMBER 31, 2002 Cash flows from operations were $1,747,585 during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, $906,343 during year ended December 31, 2001 and $353,293 during 2000. As a result of Interpharm, Inc.'s cash flows from operations during fiscal 2002, working capital increased $0.2 million to $2.3 million from $2.1 million in 2001. Net cash used in investing activities for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 were $1,203,221, $964,259 and $175,583, respectively. These were all for the purchase of production equipment except for $19,011 in 2002 for the purchase of marketable securities. In the year ended 2002, Interpharm, Inc. used $1,044,176 to repay bank notes of $236,455 and loans to related parties of $807,721. In the year ended 2001, Interpharm, Inc. removed $313,166 of net equipment from service. 36 Accounts Receivable The accounts receivable increase from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002 is primarily attributable to the increase in sales throughout 2002. This increase resulted in an increased accounts receivable balance at December 31, 2002. The accounts receivable days outstanding for the periods December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2002 consistently ranged from 54-59 days. Inventory During the later part of 2000 and early 2001 Interpharm, Inc. commenced a program to increase inventory production levels to meet the demand for increasing sales. Due to the increase in sales at the end of 2001 Interpharm, Inc.'s inventory had decreased. During 2002 Interpharm, Inc. had increased production capacity to produce more inventory to meet future demand resulting in a more optimal level of inventory at December 31, 2002. The inventory turnover for the periods ended December 31, 2001 through December 31, 2002 has consistently improved with a decrease in number days sales in inventory from 58 days to 50 days. Accounts Payable The accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increase from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002 is primarily attributable to increased inventory production to meet future sales demands. Cash and Cash Equivalents The decrease in cash and cash equivalents from December 31, 2001 to December 31, 2002 of $478,069 is primarily attributable to $1,184,210 in equipment purchases and $1,044,176 to repay bank notes of $236,455 and loans to related parties of $807,721. These amounts were partially offset by $1,747,535 in net cash provided by operating activities. From time to time in the past, Interpharm, Inc.'s shareholders, directors and officers had made loans to it for working capital. As of December 31, 2002, each of these loans was paid by Interpharm, Inc. with the exception of a loan with a balance of $304,750 from Mona Sutaria and a loan with a $3 million principal balance from Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria to Interpharm, Inc. The $3,000,000 loan reflected in Interpharm, Inc.'s December 31, 2002 financial statements has a maturity date of January 1, 2012. Repayment of this loan was subordinated to Interpharm, Inc.'s bank debt. 37 CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that Interpharm make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the 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. On an ongoing basis, Interpharm evaluates judgments and estimates made, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, income taxes and contingencies including litigation. Interpharm bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We consider the following accounting policies to be most critical in understanding the more complex judgments that are involved in preparing its financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Revenue from the sale of Interpharm products are recognized upon shipment of the product. Upon a review of specific accounts and historical experience we record, when necessary, a provision for allowances, chargebacks, returns and other sales credits based. These provisions have been recorded as a reduction of sales in the consolidated statements of income. We purchase raw materials from two suppliers, which are manufactured into finished goods and sold back to such suppliers as well as to other customers. We can, and do, purchase raw materials from other suppliers. We also (i) have the general inventory risk of loss associated with the raw materials purchased; (ii) negotiate the selling price for the finished product; (iii) significantly change the raw material into a finished product based upon our specifications, and (iv) have the option to obtain the raw materials from alternate sources. These factors among others, qualify us as the principal under the indicators set forth in EITF 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent." If the terms and substance of the arrangement change, such that we no longer qualify to report these transactions on a gross reporting basis, our net income and cash flows would not be affected. However, our sales and cost of sales would both be reduced by a similar amount. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We record allowances for doubtful accounts based upon customer specific analysis and assessment of past-due balances. Additional allowances for doubtful accounts may be required if there is an increase in past-due balances or for customer specific circumstances. The allowance for doubtful accounts was $74,166 at June 30, 2004 and $47,776 at June 30, 2003. 38 Inventory Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first-out basis, and include the cost of raw materials and manufacturing. We continually evaluate the carrying value of our inventories and when factors such as expiration dates and spoilage indicate that impairment has occurred, either a reserve is established against the inventories' carrying value or the inventories are disposed of and completely written off in the period incurred. Income Taxes We account for income taxes using the liability method which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The net deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. Our net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2004 was $4,182,000 and $2,561,400 at June 30, 2003. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In January 2003, and revised in December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." Prior to the issuance of this interpretation, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity, as defined, to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns. For these purposes, variable interests held by related parties should be combined with the reporting entity. FIN 46 is effective for our Company. The adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows. 39 ISSUE AND UNCERTAINTIES RISK OF PRODUCT LIABILITY CLAIMS The testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products subject us to the risk of product liability claims. We believe that we maintain an adequate amount of product liability insurance, but no assurance can be given that such insurance will cover all existing and future claims or that we will be able to maintain existing coverage or obtain additional coverage at reasonable rates. ITEM 7A. QUANTITIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS Our principal financial instrument currently is a $22.0 million credit facility. At June 30, 2004, $7.4 million mortgage note payable and borrowings of $425,000 under the line of credit was outstanding. The $425,000 borrowings were repaid subsequent to June 30, 2004. Any obligations created under this credit facility incur interest calculated at our option at (i) LIBOR plus 1.5% for periods ranging in length from 3 to 36 months, or (ii) at the Bank's then fixed prime rate. As of June 30, 2004, the interest rates on the borrowings and mortgage note payable were 4.5% and 2.86%, respectively. We are required to comply with certain financial covenants. The Bank will review the new credit facility annually; the next review is scheduled to occur no later than November 30, 2004. The credit lines are terminable by the Bank at any time as to undrawn amounts. We do not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, fluctuations in commodity prices or other market risks, nor do we invest in speculative financial instruments. Due to the nature of our borrowings as described above and our relatively small amount of short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material risk exposure which could occur as a result of possible changes in market interest rates. ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA Our consolidated financial statements, including the notes thereto, together with the report from our independent registered public accounting firm are presented beginning at page F-1. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE. During the previous two fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period, our accountant has not resigned, declined to stand for re-election and was not dismissed. During the previous two fiscal years, and the subsequent interim period, there were no material disagreements with Interpharm, Inc.'s accountant with respect to any matter. Following the acquisition of Interpharm, Inc. by Atec Group, Inc., on June 9, 2003, we dismissed Weinick Sanders Leventhal & Co., LLP ("WSLCO") as our independent accountant. WSLCO had been previously engaged as the principal accountant to audit Atec Group, Inc.'s financial statements. The reason for the termination was the acquisition of Interpharm, Inc., which is now our primary business unit and which has been audited by the firm of Marcum & Kliegman LLP. We believe that it is in our best interests to have Marcum & Kliegman LLP continue to work with us. 40 WSLCO's report on Atec Group, Inc.'s financial statements for the previous two years did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. The decision to change accountants was recommended by our Board of Directors and approved by the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. During our two most recent fiscal years, and the subsequent interim periods, there were no disagreements with our accountants on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, auditing scope, or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of our accountants, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with its reports. On June 11, 2003, we retained Marcum & Kliegman LLP as our independent accountant. Marcum & Kliegman LLP is located at 130 Crossways Park Drive, Woodbury, New York 11797. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applied its judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding management's control objectives. At the conclusion of the period ended June 30, 2004, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in this report but adopted additional disclosure controls and procedures to improve the quality and timeliness of disclosure during our transition from a private to a public company. 41 On September 20, 2004, our independent registered accounting firm Marcum & Kliegman, LLP ("MK"), informed us and our Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that in connection with their review of our financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, MK had discovered a condition which they deemed to be a material weakness in our internal controls (as defined by standards established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board). MK noted the lack of adequate internal control / review procedures required to properly and timely record customer chargebacks. Management has informed MK and the Audit Committee that it is modifying its internal control / review procedures in such a manner that it believes will prevent reoccurrences of this deficiency. The impact of the above condition was isolated to the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2004, and did not affect the results of any prior periods. ITEM 9B OTHER INFORMATION None 42 PART III ITEM 10.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2004 and 2003, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended June 30, 2004, the six month period ended June 30, 2003 and the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. /s/ Marcum & Kliegman LLP Woodbury, New York September 15, 2004 F-1 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC.

F-9 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Nature of Business Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the "Company") through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc. ("Interpharm, Inc.") is in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products for wholesale distribution throughout the United States. The majority of the Company's sales have been derived from sales of Ibuprofen tablets in both over-the-counter and prescription strength. All references below to the six-months ended June 30, 2002 are unaudited. Reverse Merger On May 30, 2003, Interpharm, Inc. was acquired by ATEC Group, Inc. ("ATEC"), which simultaneously changed its name to Interpharm Holdings, Inc. In this transaction, ATEC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Interpharm, Inc. in exchange for both ATEC common stock and Series K Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series K"), which totaled approximately 48% of ATEC's voting securities after the transaction was consummated. ATEC issued to the stockholders of Interpharm, Inc. a total of 6,151,178 shares of common stock and 2,050,393 shares of Series K in exchange for all outstanding shares of Interpharm, Inc. In addition, Interpharm, Inc. assumed the equity structure of ATEC, which comprised of 9,495,471 shares of common stock, less 624,145 shares of treasury stock and four classes of preferred stock totaling 395,094 shares. For additional information concerning these equity securities, please see Note 12. Since this transaction is in substance, a recapitalization of Interpharm, Inc. and not a business combination, the reverse merger with ATEC has been recorded based on the fair value of ATEC's net tangible assets, which consist primarily of cash, equipment, notes receivable, deposits and a deferred tax asset with an aggregate value of $6,078,511 (net of transaction costs of $190,051). Accordingly, pro forma information is not presented. The recapitalization has been given retroactive effect in the accompanying financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements represent those of Interpharm, Inc. for all periods prior to the consummation of the reverse merger. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The results of ATEC are included in the consolidated financial statements commencing May 30, 2003. On June 6, 2003, the minority owner of Interpharm, Inc.'s 50% owned subsidiary transferred its interest to Interpharm, Inc. in exchange for the forgiveness of a $40,000 advance due from the minority owner. As a result, the subsidiary became wholly-owned by the Company. This subsidiary has been consolidated for all periods presented. F-10 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Change of Fiscal Year The Company has changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30. A Transition Report on Form 10-K was filed for the six month transition period ended June 30, 2003. Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes revenue upon the shipment of product. The Company records a provision for allowances, returns and other sales credits based upon a review of specific accounts and historical experience. Such provision for allowances, returns and credits has been recorded as a reduction of sales in the consolidated statements of income. The Company purchases raw materials from two suppliers, which are manufactured into finished goods and sold back to such suppliers as well as to other customers. The Company can, and does, purchase raw materials from other suppliers. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force No. 99-19, "Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent," the Company recorded sales to, and purchases from, these suppliers on a gross basis. Sales and purchases were recorded on a gross basis since the Company (i) has a risk of loss associated with the raw materials purchased, (ii) converts the raw material into a finished product based upon Company developed specifications, (iii) has other sources of supply of the raw material, and (iv) has credit risk related to the sale of such product to the suppliers. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the six month periods ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, the Company purchased raw materials from the two suppliers totaling approximately $12,367,000, $3,573,000, $3,693,000, $6,805,000 and $2,189,000, respectively and sold finished goods to such suppliers totaling approximately $22,625,000, $5,795,000, $5,290,000, $10,745,000 and $3,601,000, respectively. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share ("EPS") of common stock is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock from the potential exercise of stock options and warrants and conversions of convertible preferred stocks. The effect of the recapitalization of Interpharm, Inc. has been given retroactive application in the earnings per share calculation. The common stock issued and outstanding with respect to the pre-merger ATEC Group, Inc. has been included since the effective date of the reverse merger. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 03-6, "Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share," the Company uses the two-class method to calculate the effect of the participating Series K on the calculation of basic EPS and the if-converted method is used to calculate the effect of the participating Series K on diluted EPS. The adoption of EITF Issue No. 03-6 did not require any changes to the Company's calculation of EPS. F-11 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued The computation of diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent issuance of securities that would have an antidilutive effect on EPS (i.e. improving earnings per share). The dilutive effect of outstanding options and warrants and their equivalents are reflected in dilutive EPS by the application of the treasury stock method. Options and warrants will have a dilutive effect only when the average market price of the common stock during the period exceeds the exercise price of the options or warrants. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts The allowance for doubtful accounts reflects management's best estimate of probable losses inherent in the account receivable balance. Management determines the allowance based on known troubled accounts, historical experience and other currently available evidence. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out basis) or market value. Losses from the write-down of damaged, nonusable, or otherwise nonsalable inventories are recorded in the period in which they occur. Land, Building and Equipment Land, building and equipment is stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, costs of major additions and betterments are capitalized. When equipment is sold or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation is eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in income. Depreciation and Amortization Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. The cost of leasehold improvements is amortized over the lesser of the length of the related leases or the estimated useful lives of the improvements. Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Comprehensive Income In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," the Company reports comprehensive income in addition to net income. Comprehensive income is a more inclusive financial reporting methodology that includes disclosure of certain financial information that historically has not been recognized in the calculation of net income. F-12 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Use of Estimates in the Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include deferred tax asset valuations and inventory overhead costing estimates. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. To determine if impairment exists, the Company compares the estimated future undiscounted cash flows from the related long-lived assets to the net carrying amount of such assets. Once it has been determined that an impairment exists, the carrying value of the asset is adjusted to fair value. Factors considered in the determination of fair value include current operating results, trends and the present value of estimated expected future cash flows. Income Taxes The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method which requires the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse. The net deferred tax asset is adjusted by a valuation allowance, if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset will not be realized. The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated Income tax return. Marketable Securities Marketable securities, which are classified as "available for sale," are valued at fair market value. Unrealized gains or losses are recorded net of income taxes as accumulated other comprehensive income or loss in stockholders' equity, whereas realized gains and losses are recognized in the Company's consolidated statements of income using the first-in, first-out method. Other than temporary declines in the value of marketable securities are also recognized as a loss in the consolidated statements of income. Shipping Costs The Company's shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the year ended June 30, 2004, the six months ended June 30, 2003 and 2002 and for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, shipping and handling costs approximated $419,000, $198,000, $181,000, $370,000 and $248,000, respectively. F-13 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued Research and Development Research and development is expensed as incurred. Concentrations and Fair Value of Financial Instruments Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash investments and accounts receivable. At June 30, 2004, the Company has cash investments totaling approximately $4,192,000 at two financial institutions. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are disclosed in Note 14. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial conditions and, generally, requires no collateral from its customers. Unless otherwise disclosed, the fair values of financial instruments approximates their recorded value. Reclassification Certain accounts in the prior period's financial statements have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform with the presentation in the current period's financial statements. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported income. Stock Based Compensation At June 30, 2004, the Company had two stock-based employee plans. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which amended SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation," an interpretation of APB No. 25.

New Accounting Pronouncement In January 2003, and revised in December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46R ("FIN 46"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities." Prior to the issuance of this interpretation, a company generally included another entity in its consolidated financial statements only if it controlled the entity through voting interests. FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity, as defined, to be consolidated by a company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the entity's residual returns. For these purposes, variable interests held by related parties should be combined with the reporting entity. FIN 46 is effective for the Company. The adoption of FIN 46 had no impact on the Company's financial position, results of operation or cash flows. F-15 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC.

Each advance cannot exceed 90% of the invoice amount of the new equipment and is convertible into separate notes that fully amortize over 60 months. o The $5,000,000 advised secured line of credit is primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes.

As of June 30, 2004, the interest rates on the working capital line and mortgage note payable were 4.5% and 2.86%, respectively. In addition, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants.

At June 30, 2004, the Company had six authorized series of preferred stock; Series A Cumulative Convertible (par value $.10), Series A-1 Cumulative convertible (par value $.01), Series B Convertible (par value $.10), Series C Convertible (par value $1), Series J Convertible (par value $.01) and Series K Convertible (par value $.01) (hereafter referred to as the "A", "A-1", "B", "C", "J" and "K" shares, respectively). The A shares have an annual dividend rate of 10% of the par value, which is cumulative. They are senior to all other series or classes of capital stock. The B shares have a non-cumulative stated annual dividend rate of $1 each and are senior to all but the rights of the A stockholders. The C and J shares have no dividend rights, except as may be authorized at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The K shares are entitled to receive dividends to the same extent and in the same amounts as the common stock. The A-1 shares have a cumulative annual dividend of $.0341 per share when and as declared by the Board of Directors. Each of the A, B, C and K shares has the right to one vote on all matters in which stockholders are entitled to vote. The holders of Series A-1 and J shares shall not be entitled to any voting rights. Each of the A, B, C and A-1 shares carry dissolution rights upon liquidation amounting to $100, $10, $5 and $.682 per share, respectively. The A shares grant the F-25 INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC.

The A, B and C shares may be converted into shares of common stock at an exchange rate of five, five and fifty shares, respectively, for each share of common stock or approximately 7,438 shares. The conversion rights of the J, K and A-1 shares are described below. The J shares had a mandatory conversion provision, if any time on or after the applicable issuance date, the closing price of the common stock of the Company for three consecutive trading days is equal to or greater than five dollars. In the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the mandatory conversion price was attained and all of the outstanding J shares converted into 105,000 shares of common stock. The J shares cannot be re-issued. On June 4, 2004, the Company was deemed by AMEX to be in compliance with applicable listing standards, and as a result, a "Triggering Event" occurred. Upon the occurrence of the Triggering Event, the holders of the K shares, in accordance with a defined formula, which assumes among other things, the conversion of the A, B, C and J shares into common stock, converted one seventh or 292,913 of the K shares into 6,274,775 restricted shares of the Company's common stock. The K shares automatically convert into a like amount on each June 4, 2005 through 2010, for an aggregate of an additional 37,648,650 shares of common stock. Upon a change in control, as defined, the conversion of the K shares may accelerate. The holders of the K shares have demand registration rights with respect to the common stock to be issued upon conversion. The net effect of the conversion feature, together with the shares of common stock issued in the reverse merger, would be to issue to Interpharm, Inc. stockholders, common stock totaling approximately 80% of the total number of shares of common stock and voting convertible preferred stock, outstanding as of the date of the Triggering Event, after giving effect to the conversion, less shares of common stock issued between the date of the closing of the reverse merger and the date of the Triggering Event arising out of obligations which arose after the date of closing. On May 30, 2003 the Company authorized the satisfaction of loans due to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and one of its stockholders, by issuing 4,855,389 A-1 shares. The A-1 shares convert on a 1:1 basis into Company common stock subject to the definitive terms in the list of designations upon (i) the Company reaching $150 million in sales or (ii) a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar transaction. Stock Options On May 30, 2003, Interpharm, Inc., as a part of the ATEC reverse merger transaction, assumed options to acquire ATEC's common stock which were granted previously by ATEC pursuant to two Stock Option Plans.
