PART I

ITEM 1. - BUSINESS

Company History

Interpharm Holdings, Inc., (the "Company" or "Interpharm"), through its operating wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., ("Interpharm, Inc." and collectively with Interpharm, "we" or "us") has been engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceuticals since 1984.

We currently sell our products under (i) our own label to the major retailers, wholesalers, managed care organizations and national distributors, and (ii) under private label to wholesalers, distributors, repackagers, and other manufacturers. As of June 30, 2007, we manufactured and marketed thirty six generic pharmaceutical products, which represent various oral dosage strengths for eleven unique products and different dosage strengths for twenty-five of these products.

Our Business and Expansion Plan

In our current phase of expansion, we are continuing the process of transforming the Company into a full service generic pharmaceuticals provider and increasing our line of products, revenues and gross margins. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we increased our revenues by $12,200 over the prior year. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our gross margins were 28.7%, as compared to 27.5% during the prior year.

The most critical component of our expansion plan is the investment in research and development to continue to add new products to our product portfolio. Over the past two fiscal years, we have spent a total of $29,600 on research and development.

Another critical component of our plan is an emphasis on sales. During fiscal 2007, our sales strategy has been successful and we are now selling products to the major chains, wholesalers, distributors, managed care entities and government agencies. We are now well positioned to launch new products in these sales channels which should result in increasing sales.

During fiscal 2007, we produced a total of approximately 4.3 billion tablets. We are making further improvements to our efficiencies in manufacturing, and have completed the build out of our Yaphank, New York facility.

Recent Developments

As set forth in detail below in Management’s Discussion and Analysis under the heading “Liquidity and Capital Resources,” as of June 30, 2007, we defaulted under the terms of our credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit (“WFBC”) due to a lack of adequate working capital resulting from increased expenses and losses during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Although these defaults gave WFBC the right to liquidate our assets and business, WFBC instead waived the defaults and amended our covenants upon our raising an additional $8,000 of debt financing (the “Financing”). The details of the Financing are also described below.

During our negotiations with WFBC and with the lenders for the $8,000 in financing, we were delayed in filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K, which, as disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 17, 2007, caused the American Stock Exchange to halt trading in our common stock from October 17, 2007 until November 15, 2007.

In connection with prior financings in 2006, we sold shares of our Series B-1 and C-1 convertible Preferred Stock to Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (“TD III”) and Aisling Capital II, L.P. (“Aisling”) from which a waiver is required to issue any securities if no registration statement is effective for the sale of the common stock into which the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock is convertible. No such registration statement is yet effective, and therefore, we were required to seek the consent of TD III and Aisling in order to effect the Financing.

On November 7, 2007, we entered into a Waiver and Consent Agreement (the “Waiver”) with TD III, Aisling and the Parties to the Financing which provided us with the necessary waiver from Tullis and Aisling. In addition, the pursuant to the Waiver, Perry Sutaria, P&K Holdings I, LLC, Rametra Holdings I, LLC, Rajs Holdings I, LLC and Raj Sutaria, the holders of 54% of our issued and outstanding common stock (the “Proxy Shares”) agreed to, and did give a voting proxy to a committee comprised of Perry Sutaria and a representative from each of TD III and Aisling to vote the Proxy Shares:

 
1.
For the election of directors; and
 
2.
With respect to any changes in the Company by-laws.

In addition, the holders of the Proxy Shares gave TD III and Aisling tag along rights on the Proxy Shares such that in the event of any sale, other than certain exempted sales, of the Proxy Shares, the holders of the Proxy Shares will have an obligation to have the buyer purchase a proportionate number of shares held by TD III and Aisling.

As consideration for the Waiver, the conversion price of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock was reduced from $1.5338 to $0.95 and the exercise price of an aggregate of 4,563 warrants held by TD III and Aisling was reduced from $1.639 to $0.95. The decreased conversion and exercise prices could adversely impact our earnings per share and the market price of our common stock.

New product development continues to focus on the following six areas: Female Hormone Products, Scheduled Narcotic Products, Soft Gelatin Capsule Products, Oral Liquid Products, Products Coming Off Patent and Special Release Products.  

Facilities

Our primary manufacturing activities are located at our 100 square foot facility in Hauppauge, New York. In January 2007, we leased from an unrelated third party 20 square feet of office space in a building next door to our Hauppauge manufacturing facility. The renovation of our 108 square foot facility located in Yaphank, New York has been completed and we are conducting all of our research and development activities there. The specialized facilities for oral contraceptives, soft gels and high potency products, which are within the Yaphank facility, are now operational. We are now also manufacturing and packaging commercial quantities of some of our current products at the Yaphank facility.

Strategic Alliances

Tris Pharma, Inc.

On February 24, 2005, we entered into two agreements with Tris for the development and licensing of up to twenty-five immediate release liquid generic products (First Liquids Agreement”) and seven solid oral dosage generic pharmaceutical products (the "Solids Contract"). We subsequently amended the Solids Contract to include an additional solid oral dosage product and two soft gel products. In April 2006, we entered into a second amendment to the Solids Contract to add one additional special release product. On October 4, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Tris that supersedes the First Liquids Agreement (“Second Liquids Agreement”). The Second Liquids Agreement covers the development and licensing of up to fourteen immediate release liquid generic products. To date, we have filed two ANDAs for products developed under the Solids Contract and two ANDAs have been filed for products developed under the Second Liquids Agreement.

Centrix Pharmaceutical, Inc.

As previously reported, we commenced shipments in August 2005 pursuant to an agreement with Centrix whereby Centrix has had exclusive distribution rights in the United States to a female hormone product that is manufactured and supplied by Interpharm. On October 27, 2006, the Company amended its agreement with Centrix Pharmaceuticals, Inc., (“Centrix”) wherein Centrix has agreed to purchase over a twelve month period, 40% more bottles of the Company’s female hormone therapy products than the initial year of the agreement, commencing November 2006.  The parties shared net profits equally, as defined in the agreement.  During fiscal 2007, we recognized $11,583 in net sales from the Centrix agreement. Effective November 1, 2007, the original Centrix agreement is again in full force and effect.

Marketing Strategy

We have made significant progress on our marketing strategy since the implementation of our expansion plan. Our current marketing strategy focuses on offering an array of products within product categories that require distinct capabilities in manufacturing, facilities, regulatory or release technology. These limitations can be characterized by high initial capital expenditures, qualified personnel or specific technological capabilities. By selecting products within these higher barrier to entry product categories, we believe we can offer a unique breadth of products to the marketplace, further penetrate the direct sales channel and reach a larger customer base.

We believe that a broader customer base will enable us to achieve more stable sales and production cycles for both our existing products and new product launches. By making more direct sales, we believe that we can maximize value and profits by eliminating intermediaries as well as offer better customer service and stronger customer relationships.

We have started development on products in all of our five primary targeted product areas and are continuing to target and file ANDAs for products in our sixth area - products coming off patent and for which patents have expired. Each of these product areas was chosen because of the higher margins that are available and because we anticipate limited competition. We continue to focus on developing product lines in our five primary targeted product areas, which are: Female Hormone Products, Scheduled Narcotic Products, Soft Gelatin Capsule Products, Special Release Characteristic Products and Liquid Products. This should allow us to further increase gross margins and per tablet revenues.

Competition

The generic pharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive. The primary means of competition 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 in most instances, we maintain adequate levels of inventories to meet customer demand. In the first half of fiscal 2007, we had experienced raw material supply issues, which created backorders, which were fulfilled during the second half of the fiscal year.We believe that our expansion and modernization of our facility, hiring of experienced personnel, including logistics and operations personnel, and implementation of quality control programs have improved our competitive position during fiscal 2007.

During the past several years the number of chain drug stores and wholesaler customers have 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. During fiscal year ended June 2007, this has caused us to reduce pricing on some products in certain segments of the market. 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.

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 (so-called “authorized generics”). 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 an ANDA and may require 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.

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 on a timely basis.

Patents and Trademarks

We do not own any patents. Interpharm owns the registered trademark REPRAXIN.

Industry
 
The Generic Drug Market and Necessary Approvals

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 U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), usually the patent holder, has the exclusive right to produce and sell the drug during the life of the patent. This market exclusivity generally provides brand-name products the opportunity to build-up physician and customer loyalties.

Once a patent on a drug expires, another 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. However, a generic product may be marketed prior to the brand product’s patent expiration if that patent is shown to be invalid or not infringed by the generic product.

The FDA requires that generic drugs have the same quality, strength, purity, identity and efficacy as brand-name drugs. While comparable to brand-name drugs, generic drugs are usually far less costly than brand-name drugs, resulting in substantial savings to consumers, healthcare providers and hospitals. 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," 1 in 1984, 19% of prescription drugs sold in the United States were generic. According to a Federal Trade Commission Study in July, 2002, "Generic Drug Entry Prior to Patent Expiration,"2 that figure reached more than 47%. Moreover, Generic Pharmaceutical Association statistics indicate that generic drug products were dispensed 56% of the time in 2005.

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. Waxman-Hatch created an accelerated approval process in which the generic manufacturer needs only to demonstrate to the FDA that, among other things, the generic product is bioequivalent to the brand-name product through the filing of an abbreviated new drug application ("ANDA"). The ANDA may rely on information from the brand-name drug's application with the FDA instead of spending its resources, time and money to collect the same information to support an FDA approval to market its generic product.

On June 12, 2003, the FDA announced new regulations and procedures to improve implementation of the Waxman-Hatch Act. The new regulations and procedures are aimed at reducing the time it takes to bring generic drugs to the market and expanding educational programs to assist health care practitioners and consumers to get accurate information about the availability of generic drugs. The FDA has estimated that the new regulations and procedures will reduce the typical time for generic drug approvals by three months or more during the three to five year period following implementation and will save consumers approximately $35,000,000 over 10 years.

Government 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.

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 bioequivalence studies to show that the generic drug is bioequivalent to the approved drug. Bioequivalence studies compare the bioavailability of one drug product, e.g., the generic, with that of another formulation containing the same active ingredient, e.g., the brand. When established, bioequivalence 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 as defined by the FDA. 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 bioequivalence studies. Historically, the vast majority of our research and development expenditures have been on these studies. While we strive to engage reputable and experienced companies to perform these studies, 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 of time or money spent on research and development. Product development may be curtailed in the early or later stages of development due to the introduction of competing generic products or for other strategic or technical reasons.

Even if an ANDA is approved, brand-name companies can impose substantial barriers to market entry which may include: receiving new patents on drugs whose original patent protection is about to expire; developing patented controlled-release products or other improvements to the original product; marketing over-the-counter versions of the brand-name product 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.

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. We have retained an outside consultant to assist us with the process of becoming compliant with Section 404 of the SOX Act by the deadline for such compliance.

The federal government established the 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 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). In the U.S., there have been a number of legislative and regulatory changes that impact the pricing of our products. In particular, the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and specific guidance issued by CMS changed the methodology as it is applied to the underlying data for Medicaid rebates of pharmaceutical products. 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.

Raw Materials

Most of 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. In selecting a supplier, we consider not only their status as an FDA approved supplier, but consistency of their products, timeliness of delivery, price and patent position.

Employees
 
As of June 30, 2007, we had approximately six hundred and seventy full time employees. We believe we have a strong relationship with our employees. None of our employees are represented by a union. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, we reduced the number of employees to approximately five hundred and seventy in conjunction with the various actions to improve profitability and cash flows generated from operations which is discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources”.

ITEM 1A. 

Risk Factors
 
We operate in a highly competitive environment in which there are numerous factors which can influence our business, financial position or results of operations and which can also cause the market value of our common stock to decline. Many of these factors are beyond our control and therefore, are difficult to predict. The following section sets forth what we believe to be the principal risks that could affect us, our business or our industry, and which could result in a material adverse impact on our financial results or cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate or decline.

Risks Related to Our Business 

Our future success is dependent on our ability to develop, manufacture and commercialize new generic drug products.

Our current business and expansion plan is dependent on our ability to successfully develop, manufacture and commercialize new generic drugs. There are numerous factors which can delay or prevent us from developing, manufacturing or commercializing new products, including:

 
·
inability to obtain requisite FDA approvals on a timely basis for new generic products;

 
·
reliance on partners for development of certain products;

 
·
the availability, on commercially reasonable terms, of raw materials, including active pharmaceutical ingredients and other key ingredients;

 
·
competition from other generic drug companies offering the same or similar products;

 
·
inadequate funding available for product marketing and sales;

 
·
failure to obtain market acceptance for new generic products;

 
·
failure to succeed in patent challenges;

 
·
unforeseen costs in development;

 
·
legal actions by brand competitors; and

 
·
inability to demonstrate bioequivalence in clinical studies as required by the FDA.

These, as well as other factors may lead to product approval delays or the abandonment of products in development. The failure of a product to reach successful commercialization could materially and adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our future success is dependent upon incurring significant levels of research and development expenditures which will continue to have an adverse effect on our profitability.

Our current business and expansion plan is dependent upon incurring significant levels of research and development expenditures, which continue to have an adverse effect on our profitability. This may cause the market price of our common stock to decline or fluctuate.

We face intense competition which could significantly limit our expansion and growth and materially adversely affect our business and financial results.
 
The generic drug market and industry is highly competitive. Most of our competitors have greater financial, research and development, marketing and other resources than we do and therefore, can develop and commercialize more products and develop and commercialize them faster and more efficiently than us. The markets in which we compete and intend to compete are undergoing, and are expected to continue to undergo, rapid and significant changes. We expect competition to intensify as technological advances are made.

We also face intense price competition in certain of our products and expect to face intense competition in some of the products we intend to develop and market. This price competition may lead to reductions in prices and gross margins which can adversely affect our business and financial results, and can cause the price of our common stock to decline or fluctuate.

We address competitive issues by seeking to develop and manufacture products where competition is limited. However, there can be no assurance that this strategy will be effective as there may be no barriers to additional competitors entering the market for these products.

We may not maintain adequate product liability insurance.

We currently maintain $10,000 in product liability insurance. While we believe this amount to be adequate, there can be no assurance that any one or series of claims may exceed our coverage or that coverage will not be denied with respect to a claim or series of claims. A lack of sufficient coverage could materially and adversely affect our business, financial results and the market value of our common stock.
 
We enter into various agreements in the normal course of our business which have indemnification provisions, the triggering of which could have a material adverse impact on our business and financial results.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
In the normal course of our business, we enter into manufacturing, marketing and other agreements whereby we agree to indemnify the other party or parties in the event of certain breaches of the agreement or with respect to product defects or recalls. While we maintain insurance coverage which we believe can effectively mitigate our obligations under these indemnification provisions, there can be no assurance that such coverage will be adequate to do so. Should our obligations under an indemnification provision exceed our coverage or should coverage be denied, our business, financial results and the market value of our common stock could be materially and adversely affected.
 
Our operating results are affected by a number of factors and may fluctuate significantly on a quarterly basis. 

Our operating results may vary substantially from quarter to quarter. Revenues and other operating results for any given period may be greater or less than those in other periods. Factors that may cause quarterly results to vary include, but are not limited to, the following:

 
·
the amount of research and development expenditures;

 
·
competition for new and existing products;

 
·
new product launches;

 
·
changes in pricing for raw materials and other inputs; and

 
·
legal actions.

Fluctuations in our operating results may cause a decline or fluctuation in the price of our common stock.

 Reserves for credits and pricing adjustments may be inadequate.

For certain customers, we issue various price adjustments and credits based on market prices or sales to certain customers. For instance, when we sell certain products to prime vendors for the U.S. government, the sales to the prime vendor are at one price, but if the products are resold to the government, the prime vendor gets to chargeback a portion of the purchase price because sales to the government are at a discount.

Although we establish a reserve for these credits and chargebacks at the time of sale based on known contingencies, there can be no assurance that such reserves will be adequate. Increases in credits and chargebacks may exceed what was estimated as a result of a variety of reasons, including unanticipated increased competition or an unexpected change in one or more of its contractual relationships. Any failure to establish adequate reserves with respect to credits or chargebacks may result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial results and may cause the price of our common stock to decline or fluctuate. 
 
We are presently dependent on a limited number of products for most of our revenues.
 
We currently generate most of our revenues and gross margins from the sale of a limited number of products. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the following products accounted for 95% of our total revenues: Ibuprofen, generic Bactrim, Naproxen and our female hormone products. Ibuprofen alone accounted for 41% of our revenues. Any material adverse developments, including increased competition, with respect to the sale or use of these products, or our failure to successfully introduce new products, could have a material adverse effect on our revenues and gross margins.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
We are presently dependent on a small number of major customers.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, five customers, in the aggregate, accounted for 62% of the company’s sales. While we have been able to diversify our customer base over the past two fiscal years, the loss of any one or more of these customers or the substantial reduction in orders from any one or more of such customers could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition and could cause a decline in the market price of our common stock.

Our loan agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit imposes significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from capitalizing on business opportunities and taking certain actions.
 
Our loan agreement with Wells Fargo Business Credit, a copy of which is contained in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 15, 2006, imposes significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, or merge or consolidate. There can be no assurance that these restrictions will not adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs or to pursue available business opportunities.

As set forth below under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis,” we were unable to meet certain financial covenants with Wells Fargo Business Credit and were required to raise additional monies through the sale of debt securities. On November 14, 2007, Wells Fargo Business Credit lifted certain of the restrictions on us which enabled us to raise additional monies, waived certain defaults and agreed to amended covenants. There can be no assurance that Wells Fargo Business Credit will act similarly in the future if we breach our credit agreement again.

We may be liable to pay substantial damages, including liquidated damages, or be obligated to redeem such stock for cash if we do not timely perform certain obligations we have to holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock.

In May 2006 we sold to one institutional investor for $10,000 shares of our Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. In September 2006 we sold to another institutional investor shares of our Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock for $10,000. Under the transaction documents relating to these sales the holders have the right to redeem such shares for cash upon the occurrence of certain events, including our failure to pay dividends on such stock, our failure to timely deliver certificates for shares of our common stock if the holders elect to convert such shares, if we default on indebtedness owed to third parties and such persons accelerate the maturity of at least $3,000 of such indebtedness, or there is a change in control of our company. In addition, we are subject to penalties, up to a maximum of 18% of the aggregate purchase price (which penalties accrue on a daily basis so long as we continue to be in default of our obligations) (a) if, within 60 days after a request to do so is made by the holders of such preferred stock, we do not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement covering the resale of shares of our common stock issuable to such holders upon conversion of the preferred stock, (b) if a registration statement is filed, such registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days after the request is made or (c) if after such a registration is declared effective, after certain grace periods the holders are unable to make sales of our common stock because of a failure to keep the registration statement effective or because of a suspension or delisting of our common stock from the American Stock Exchange or other principal exchange on which our common stock is traded. We are also subject to penalties if we fail to timely deliver to a holder (or credit the holder’s balance with Depository Trust Company if the common stock is to be held in street name) a certificate for shares of our common stock if the holder elects to convert its preferred stock into common stock. Therefore, upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events our business and financial condition would likely be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock would likely decline.

We have defaulted in certain of our agreements with the holders of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock which have been waived per the Consent and Waiver Agreement dated November 7, 2007, as described in the “Managements Discussion and Analysis” Section below and under the heading “Recent Developments” in Item 1. Those holders have provided a waiver of those defaults in exchange for a decrease in the conversion and exercise prices of the preferred stock and warrants held by them which has a dilutive effect on our common stock. There can be no assurance that any future defaults will be similarly waived.

We are currently involved in legal disputes which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2006, on June 1, 2006, Ray Vuono commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 13985/06). The complaint against Interpharm alleges, among other things, that Vuono is entitled to receive additional compensation as a “finder” under an agreement dated July 1, 2002 with respect to a reverse merger transaction consummated by us in May 2003. Vuono also alleges that he is entitled to additional compensation under the agreement in respect of a $41,500 credit facility from Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. obtained by us in February 2006 and the sale for $10,000 of shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase our common stock consummated by the Company with Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. in May 2006. The total amount of damages sought by Vuono in the action was approximately $10,000.

By recent decision and order dated March 29, 2007, the Court dismissed Vuono’s claims as they pertain to any fees claimed by Vuono related to a reverse merger of Interpharm, Inc. and the Company and declined to dismiss other claims.  The dismissed claims represent approximately $7,000 of the total of $10,000 claimed by Vuono.

The Court deferred its decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel, and held hearing on the matter on September 24, 2007. A final decision on the motion to disqualify is not expected until early 2008. The action, including all discovery, is stayed pending the Court’s decision.   

In May 2007, a former employee commenced an action against us with the New York State Division of Human Rights.  The complaint alleges claims of race discrimination. The total sought by the former employee in the action is unspecified.  We believe that the claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the action.  Currently, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this litigation.

While we believe that these claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the action, should we be unsuccessful in our defense, our business and financial condition will be materially adversely affected and the market price of our common stock could decline.

On October 8, 2007, Leiner Health Products LLC and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement”) in connection with an October 2005 manufacturing and supply agreement for ibuprofen tablets. As part of the Settlement, Leiner executed a Promissory Note for the amount it owed the Company. On October 12, 2007, the Company notified Leiner that one lot of this product was subject to a voluntary recall. Leiner subsequently withheld any additional payments under the Settlement until they received reasonable assurances from the Company that the additional lots in their possession would not be subject to the recall as well. If all lots were recalled, Leiner would be entitled to a reimbursement by the Company of approximately $256. However, the Company does not believe any further lots will be recalled.

We rely on independent third parties for some of the research and development and testing required for the regulatory approval of our products. Any failure by any of these third parties to perform this research and development or testing properly and in a timely manner may have an adverse effect upon our ability to obtain regulatory approvals. 

Our applications for the regulatory approval of products incorporate the results of research and development and testing and other information that is conducted or gathered by independent third parties (including, for example, Tris Pharma, Inc. whose agreements with us are described fully under “Business”), manufacturers of raw materials, testing laboratories, contract research organizations or independent research facilities. Our ability to obtain regulatory approval on the products being developed and tested is dependent upon the quality of the work performed by these third parties, the quality of the third parties’ facilities and the accuracy of the information provided by third parties. In some instances, we have little or no control over any of these factors. If this testing is not performed properly, our ability to obtain regulatory approvals could be restricted or delayed.

Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain key employees and consultants. 
  
Our future success will depend, to a substantial degree, upon the continued service of the key members of our management team. The loss of the services of key members of our management team, or their inability to perform services on our behalf, could have a material effect on our business and financial condition and could result in a decline in the market value of our common stock.

Our success, and the success of our expansion plan, also will depend, to a large extent, upon the contributions of our existing sales, marketing, operations, regulatory, compliance scientific, quality control and quality assurance staff and our ability to build their departments and hire additional qualified personnel. We compete for qualified personnel against other larger companies which may offer more favorable employment opportunities. If we are not able to attract and retain the necessary personnel to accomplish our business objectives, we could experience constraints that would adversely affect our ability to sell and market products, or to support internal research and development programs. In particular, product development programs depend on the ability to attract and retain highly skilled scientists, biochemists, and sales and marketing efforts depend on the ability to attract and retain skilled and experienced sales, marketing and quality assurance representatives. Although we believe we have been successful in attracting and retaining skilled personnel in all areas of our business, we cannot assure that we can continue to attract, train and retain such personnel. Any failure in this regard could limit our growth and expansion and new product development.
 
Our ability to service our debt from Wells Fargo Business Credit and make dividend payments to the holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock and to meet our cash requirements depends on numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control.
 
Our ability to satisfy our obligations to Wells Fargo Business Credit, the holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock, and the holders of our Junior Subordinated Secured 12% Promissory Note due 2010 and the holders of our Secured 12% Promissory Notes Due 2009 will depend on our future operating performance and financial results, which will be subject, in part, to factors beyond our control, including interest rates and general economic, financial and business conditions. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may be required to: refinance all or a portion of our debt with Wells Fargo, obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and general corporate or other purposes; redirect a substantial portion of our cash flow to debt service, which as a result, might not be available for our operations or other purposes; sell some of our assets or operations; reduce or delay capital expenditures; or revise or delay our operations or strategic plans. If we are required to take any of these actions, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, there can be no assurance that we would be able to take any of these actions, that these actions would enable us to continue to satisfy our capital requirements or that these actions would be permitted under the terms of our agreement with Wells Fargo or under the terms of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock.

Risks Related to Our Industry 

Litigation is common in our industry and can cause significant expense and delays. 

Branded pharmaceutical companies with patented products are increasingly suing companies that produce generic forms of their patented brand name products for alleged patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights, which may delay or prevent the entry of such generic products into the market. Generally, a generic drug may not be marketed until the applicable patent(s) on the brand name drug expires. When an ANDA is filed with the FDA for approval of a generic drug, the filing person may either certify that the patent listed by the FDA as covering the generic product is about to expire, in which case the ANDA will not become effective until the expiration of such patent, or that any patent listed as covering the generic drug is invalid or will not be infringed by the manufacture, sale or use of the new drug for which the ANDA is filed. Under either circumstance, there is a risk that a branded pharmaceutical company may sue the filing person for alleged patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights. Also, other companies that compete with us by manufacturing, developing and/or selling the same generic pharmaceutical products similarly may file lawsuits against us claiming patent infringement or invalidity. Because a portion of our current business involves the marketing and development soon to be off-patent products, the threat of litigation, the outcome of which is inherently uncertain, is always present. Such litigation is often costly and time consuming, and could result in a substantial delay in, or prevent, the commercialization of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and the market for our common stock.

 
We are susceptible to product liability claims that may not be covered by insurance, which, if successful, could require us to pay substantial damages. 

We face the risk of loss resulting from, and the adverse publicity associated with, product liability lawsuits, whether or not such claims are valid. In many instances, there is no way that such claims can be avoided. Unanticipated side effects or unfavorable publicity concerning any of our products would likely have an adverse effect on our ability to achieve acceptance by prescribing physicians, managed care providers, pharmacies and other retailers, customers and patients. Even unsuccessful product liability claims could require us to spend money on litigation, divert management’s time, damage our reputation and impair the marketability of our products. In addition, while we believe our current level of product liability insurance is sufficient, there can be no assurance that it will be enough to cover any one or series of claims. There can also be no assurance that as we expand, that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance coverage at acceptable costs. A successful product liability claim that is excluded from coverage or exceeds policy limits could require us to pay substantial sums. In addition, insurance coverage for product liability may become prohibitively expensive in the future.
 
We are subject to extensive governmental regulation, the non-compliance with which may result in fines and/or other sanctions, including product seizures, product recalls, injunctive actions and criminal prosecutions.

21

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)

We are subject to extensive regulation by the federal government, principally the FDA and the Drug Enforcement Administration and state governments. The FFDC Act, the Controlled Substances Act, the Generic Drug Enforcement Act of 1992 (the “Generic Act”), and other federal statutes and regulations govern the testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our products. The Generic Act, a result of legislative hearings and investigations into the generic drug approval process, is particularly relevant to our business. Under the Generic Act, the FDA is authorized to impose debarment and other penalties on individuals and companies that commit illegal acts relating to the generic drug approval process. In some situations, the Generic Act requires the FDA not to accept or review for a period of time ANDAs from a company or an individual that has committed certain violations and provides for temporary denial of approval of applications during its investigation. Additionally, non-compliance with other applicable regulatory requirements may result in fines, perhaps significant in amount, and other sanctions imposed by courts and/or regulatory bodies, including the initiation of product seizures, product recalls, injunctive actions and criminal prosecutions. The FDA also has the authority to withdraw its approval of drugs in accordance with statutory procedures.

In addition to the new drug approval process, the FDA also regulates the facilities and operational procedures that we use to manufacture our products. We must register our facilities with the FDA. All products manufactured in those facilities must be made in a manner consistent with current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”). 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 FDA periodically inspects our manufacturing facilities for compliance. FDA approval to manufacture a drug is site-specific. Failure to comply with cGMP regulations at one of our manufacturing facilities could result in an enforcement action brought by the FDA which could include withholding the approval of ANDAs or other product applications of that facility. If the FDA were to require one of our manufacturing facilities to cease or limit production, our business could be adversely affected. Delay and cost in obtaining FDA approval to manufacture at a different facility also could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations and could cause the market value of our common stock to decline.

Because of the chemical ingredients of pharmaceutical products and the nature of the manufacturing process, we are subject to extensive environmental regulation and the risk of incurring liability for damages and/or the costs of remedying environmental problems. In the future, we may be required to increase expenditures in order to remedy environmental problems and/or comply with applicable regulations. Additionally, if we fail to comply with environmental regulations to use, discharge or dispose of hazardous materials appropriately or otherwise to comply with the provisions of our operating licenses, the licenses could be revoked and we could be subject to criminal sanctions and/or substantial civil liability or be required to suspend or modify our manufacturing operations.

As part of the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement, and Modernization Act of 2003, companies are now required to file with the FTC and the Department of Justice certain types of agreements entered into between brand and generic pharmaceutical companies related to the manufacture, marketing and sale of generic versions of brand drugs. This requirement could affect the manner in which generic drug manufacturers resolve intellectual property litigation and other disputes with brand pharmaceutical companies and could result generally in an increase in private-party litigation against pharmaceutical companies or additional investigations or proceedings by the FTC or other governmental authorities. The impact of this requirement, and the potential private-party lawsuits associated with arrangements between brand name and generic drug manufacturers, is uncertain and could adversely affect the Company’s business.

Our distribution operations and our customers are subject to various regulatory requirements, including from the DEA, FDA and State Boards of Pharmacy and Health, among others. These include licensing, registration, recordkeeping, security and reporting requirements. Failure by the Company to comply with these regulatory requirements could impact our ability to make and/or maintain sales of our products resulting in a materially adverse impact on the Company’s finances.
 
Our raw materials are purchased primarily from foreign distributors of bulk pharmaceutical chemicals. Any significant supply interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and could cause a decline in the market value of our common stock. 

Our raw materials are purchased primarily from foreign companies. From time to time, we have experienced difficulty in obtaining certain raw materials and products, there can be no assurance that supply interruptions or delays will not occur again in the future or that we will not have to obtain substitute materials or products, which would require additional regulatory approvals. In addition, changes in its raw material suppliers could result in delays in production, higher raw material costs and loss of sales and customers because regulatory authorities must generally approve raw material sources for pharmaceutical products. Any significant supply interruption could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition and could cause a decline in the market value of our common stock.

We may not be able to utilize all of the deferred tax assets recorded on our balance sheet.
 
            In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” we are required to establish a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The valuation allowance should be sufficient to reduce the deferred tax asset to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. At June 30, 2007, we had a total of $5,975 in net deferred tax assets, which we believe are realizable based on the requirements of SFAS 109. However, because we have shown volatile operating results in the past and because there is no guarantee that the amount and timing of net profits, if any, will be sufficient to fully utilize our deferred tax assets, there is a risk that we will have to record an additional valuation allowance in the future. Moreover, there is a risk that unfavorable audits of, for example, tax credit or NOL carryforwards by government agencies or change of ownership limitations under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 may reduce the value of our deferred tax assets. If any of these events were to occur, our financial results for one or more periods would be adversely affected.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON STOCK

Our research and development expenditures may not lead to the commercialization of successful products.

            Our current business and expansion plan calls for, and is dependent upon, research and development expenditures in order to add new products to our product line, but also upon the projected success of new products.  There can be no assurance, however, that these research and development expenditures will result in successful or profitable products as there are many factors which affect the success of pharmaceutical products in the market such as consumer acceptance, continuing acceptance by the medical profession, litigation and product liability and competition.  In the event that our significant research and development expenditures do not result in profitable products, our business and financial condition would be materially and adversely affected and the market price of our common stock would decline.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and are not likely to do so in the foreseeable future.

We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings for use in the operation and expansion of our business. We do not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future but will review this policy as circumstances dictate.

Six of our shareholders control us through their ownership and control of voting stock.

Four of our shareholders, one of whom is an Executive Vice President and owns approximately 27% of our common stock, along with two investors who share a proxy from three of these shareholders, own and control in the aggregate approximately 76% of our common stock. These stockholders can effectively control us and their interests may materially differ from other shareholders.

There is only a limited trading market for our common stock.
 
Our common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange, but the public float available for trading is currently relatively small. Therefore, the volume and price of trading in our common stock is subject to significant fluctuations.

The Waivers obtained from the holders of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock will be dilutive to our other shareholders.

Pursuant to the terms of the purchase of our Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock, we cannot raise additional capital through the sale of securities until such time as the common stock into which the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock is convertible has been registered for re-sale, which has not yet occurred. On November 8, 2007, in exchange for a waiver permitted us to sell additional securities, we lowered the conversion price of the Series B-1 and C-1 Preferred Stock from $1.5338 to $0.95 and lowered the exercise price of an aggregate of 4,564 warrants held by them from $1.639 to $0.95. The decreased conversion and exercise prices could result in the issuance of an additional 8,013 shares by us without additional consideration which could increase our net loss per share to common stockholders and may have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.

The trading of our common stock has been suspended for failure to comply with rules and regulations of the American Stock Exchange relating to timely SEC filings.

As reported in our Current Reports on Form 8-K and Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on October 12 and 15, 2007, respectively, we disclosed that as a result of negotiations with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, acting through our Wells Fargo Business Credit operating division ("Wells Fargo"), the Company would not be able to file its Form 10-K by its due date of October 15, 2007 and that we anticipated filing upon the conclusion of negotiations with Wells Fargo. We further disclosed that on October 12, 2007, we notified the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”) that we would not file its Form 10-K in a timely manner in conformity with Section 610(b) of the AMEX Company Guide.

On October 15, 2007, we received notice from the AMEX that trading in its common stock would be halted pending compliance with AMEX rules through the filing of financial information and on October 16, 2007, trading in its common stock was halted.

We anticipate that we will be unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2007 by its due date. This late filing is likely to result in an additional or continued suspension of trading in the Company’s common stock on the AMEX, and could result in the delisting of the Company’s common stock from the AMEX. A continued or additional trading suspension may adversely impact the market value of our common stock in the event that trading again commences and a delisting of our common stock from the AMEX is likely to adversely impact the market value of our common stock if it can be traded over-the-counter and may result in a substantial loss of value if it cannot be so traded.

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 square feet and is located in an industrial/office park. The lease between the landlord and Interpharm Inc, states that upon a change in ownership of Interpharm Inc, which occurred on May 30, 2003, the landlord is entitled to increase the rents to fair market value and every three years thereafter. The current annual lease payments to the landlord, Sutaria Family Realty, LLC, are $660. Sutaria Family Realty, LLC is owned by Mona Rametra, Perry Sutaria and Raj Sutaria, who collectively own and control 37,706 shares of our common stock and 4,855 shares of our Series A-1 Preferred Stock and are the children of Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the Chairman of our Board of Directors, and the niece and nephews of Bhupatlal K. Sutaria, our past President. In addition, Raj Sutaria is an Executive Vice President of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. There are no tenants in the building other than us.

In January 2007, we entered into a seven year lease for approximately 20 square feet of office space. The lease provides us an option to extend the lease for a period of three years. According to the terms of the lease the base annual rental for the first year will be $261 and will increase by 3% annually thereafter. Further, we are required to pay for renovations to the facility, currently estimated at approximately $300.

On June 29, 2004, pursuant to a contract entered into on November 14, 2003, we purchased a 92 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 $9,400. The facility is located in Suffolk County, New York's Brookhaven Empire Zone. As part of the planned modifications to the facility, we constructed a 16 square foot research and development laboratory within the facility, which is now operational. Through June 30, 2007 we have spent an additional $8,685 in building renovations and equipment.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 28, 2006, on June 1, 2006, Ray Vuono (“Vuono”) commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 13985/06). Vuono’s complaint against us alleges, among other things, that Vuono is entitled to receive additional compensation as a “finder” under an agreement dated July 1, 2002 between Vuono and the Company (then known as Atec Group, Inc.) with respect to a reverse merger transaction consummated by us in May 2003. Vuono also alleges that he is entitled to additional compensation under the agreement in respect of a $41,500 credit facility from Wells Fargo Business Credit, Inc. obtained by us in February 2006 and the sale for $10,000 of shares of a new series of convertible preferred stock and warrants to purchase our common stock consummated by us with Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. in May 2006. The total amount of damages sought by Vuono in the action was $10,000.

(In thousands, except per share data)
By recent decision and order dated March 29, 2007, the Court dismissed Vuono’s claims as they pertain to any fees claimed by Vuono related to a reverse merger of Interpharm, Inc. and the Company and declined to dismiss other claims.  The dismissed claims represent approximately $7,000 of the total of $10,000 claimed by Vuono.  The Court deferred a decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel pending a hearing and further proceedings. 

The Court deferred its decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel, and held a hearing on the matter on September 24, 2007. A final decision on the motion to disqualify is not expected until early 2008. The action, including all discovery, is stayed pending the Court’s decision. 

We believe that Vuono’s claims are without merit and we are vigorously defending the action.

In November 2006, a former employee commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 06/31481).  As of October 15, 2007, the action was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, and without costs, expenses, or fees to either party. The complaint alleged violations of the New York State Human Rights Law and other unidentified rules, regulations, statutes and ordinances. 

In May 2007, a former employee commenced an action against us with the New York State Division of Human Rights.  The complaint alleges claims of race discrimination. The total sought by the former employee in the action is unspecified.  We believe that the claims are without merit and are vigorously defending the action.  Currently, we cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this litigation.

On October 8, 2007, Leiner Health Products LLC and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement”) in connection with an October 2005 manufacturing and supply agreement for ibuprofen tablets. As part of the Settlement, Leiner executed a Promissory Note for the amount it owed the Company. On October 12, 2007, the Company notified Leiner that one lot of this product was subject to a voluntary recall. Leiner subsequently held any additional payments under the Settlement until they received reasonable assurances from the Company that the additional lots in their possession would not be subject to the recall as well. If all lots were recalled, Leiner would be entitled to a reimbursement by the Company of approximately $256. However, the Company does not believe any further lots will be recalled.
 
We are unaware of any other material pending or threatened legal action or proceeding against us.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Overview
 
Interpharm Holdings, Inc., (the "Company" or "Interpharm"), through its operating wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., ("Interpharm, Inc." and collectively with Interpharm, "we" or "us") is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products. As of June 30, 2007, we manufactured and marketed 36 generic pharmaceutical products, which represent various oral dosage strengths for 11 unique products for twenty-five of these products.

As more fully described below, as a result of increased expenses and losses incurred by the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we defaulted on our credit facility with WFBC and, in November 2007, had to raise an additional $8,000 in debt financing. A complete description of the debt financing and a Forbearance Agreement with WFBC may be found below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were $75,587 compared to $63,355 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $12,232 or 19%. We successfully increased sales of existing products as we continued to expand our distribution with the top tier accounts in retail, wholesale, distributor, and managed care trade classes. However, we had also anticipated launching three new generic pharmaceutical products by June 2007, all of which were delayed. These new products are currently on schedule to be launched in fiscal year ended June 2008.

Our gross margin was 28.7% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, which was somewhat improved over our 27.5% gross margin in the previous year. In the first half of fiscal 2007, we had experienced raw material supply issues, which created backorders, which were fulfilled during the second half of the fiscal year. At the same time, we encountered difficulty in forecasting new customer demand for existing product positions. In an effort to maintain satisfactory customer service levels while solving our raw material supply issues, we created an oversupply and build up of inventory levels. In addition, we lost a large purchaser of our OTC Ibuprofen product at March 31, 2007, due to the customer’s FDA regulatory problems, and the customer is no longer purchasing product from us. One result of the foregoing was a significant increase in inventory levels by June 2007.

In parallel, we continued to strengthen our employee infrastructure, particularly in areas such as regulatory affairs and cGMP compliance, and we implemented a new enterprise resource planning IT system needed to accommodate future growth. In addition, we continued spending on our generic pharmaceutical R&D programs at original planned levels. As sales were lower than anticipated, the net result was a significant operating loss for fiscal 2007 which we expect to continue through the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Coupled with the increased inventory levels, the operating losses led to a rapidly worsening cashflow situation towards the end of fiscal 2007. Subsequent to June 2007, we proceeded to identify sources of debt and equity financing which in the completion of $8,000 in subordinated debt financing transactions in November 2007 (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for detailed discussion).

With respect to our research and development programs, during fiscal 2007 we filed ten ANDAs and two additional ANDAs owned by the Company but in the name of Tris Pharma. In addition during fiscal 2007, we obtained FDA approval for twelve ANDAs for five unique products which we plan to launch in FY 2008. We are now manufacturing and packaging commercial quantities of some of our current products at our Yaphank facility. The specialized facilities for oral contraceptives, soft gels and high potency products are now operational. We are commencing production of batches for use in conducting bioequivalence studies and the submissions of ANDAs.

We have continued to develop products in areas that are characterized by having high barriers to entry, i.e., related to formulation, technology, patents, analytical and dedicated facilities. We have been aggressive in advancing these high barrier product areas. While the development process has taken longer than planned, we continue to make good progress in these areas.

§
Net sales of Ibuprofen for the year ended June 30, 2007 decreased $2,687, or 7.9%, as compared to sales for the year ended June 30, 2006. The decrease is partially due to supply chain issues incurred during our fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and partially due to a decrease in demand for a specific strength of Ibuprofen. The decrease in demand is directly related to one of our customer’s voluntary suspension of sales of over-the-counter pharmaceuticals as a result of the FDA inspection, which was unrelated to our product. We have been working with our suppliers to obtain adequate supplies of Ibuprofen raw material. We are currently attempting to qualify an additional source of Ibuprofen, and we are making efforts to ensure that our suppliers maintain adequate levels of inventory sufficient to enable us to increase our overall production.
 
 
§
For year ended June 30, 2007 we significantly increased our market share of Sulfamethoxazole - Trimethoprim in two strengths 400mg / 80mg commonly referred to as generic Bactrim(R) and 800mg / 160mg or commonly referred to as Bactrim-DS(R) (both, “Bactrim”). Sales increased to $17,471 during the year ended June 2007 from $4,220 for the year ended June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of two significant factors: (i) our entering into sales and marketing arrangements with two major distributors which include net profit sharing arrangements; and (ii) favorable pricing conditions in the market.
 
 
§
Naproxen net sales for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased $2,820 or 30%, as compared to sales for the year ended June 2006. The increase is primarily due to our success in increasing our customer base.

§
Net sales of our female hormone products for the year ended June 30, 2007 increased $3,099 or 38.3% compared to sales for the year ended June 2006 due primarily to a higher volume of units shipped during the current fiscal year. As previously reported, as a result of market conditions, on October 27, 2006, we amended our agreement with Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Centrix”). Commencing November 2006, Centrix agreed to purchase over a twelve month period, 40% more bottles than the initial year of the agreement at a discounted price with a provision for profit sharing.  Under the amended agreement, the parties shared net profits as defined in the agreement. The amendment has a one year term, after which time the original Centrix agreement shall again be in full force and effect.
 
 
§
On October 3, 2006, we entered into a termination and release agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Watson terminating the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated as of October 14, 2003 pursuant to which we manufactured and supplied and Watson distributed and sold generic Vicoprofen(R) (7.5 mg hydrocodone bitartrate/200 mg ibuprofen) tablets.  As a result of the Termination Agreement we obtained all rights to market this product. Net sales of this product for the year ended June 2007, decreased $1,360 or 36.8% to $2,334 as compared to $3,693 for the year ended June 2006. The decrease is partially due to a decrease in units shipped as well as a decrease in market prices for this product during the year ended June 2007.

 
§
As a result of our decision to halt the manufacture and sale of Allopurinol and Atenolol under a contract manufacturing agreement, our revenues for these products declined during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Both Allopurinol and Atenolol were manufactured for and shipped to one customer based on quantities ordered by that customer. Revenue from sales of Allopurinol and Atenolol decreased by $2,287 from $2,289 for the year ended June 30, 2006 to $2 for the year ended June 30, 2007. Sales of these product are included in All Other Products in the table above. The manufacturing capacity gained from the decrease in production of these two products is being used for other products. For fiscal 2008 and beyond we anticipate little or no sales of these products.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, five customers, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 62% of total sales. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 we had four key customers which accounted for approximately 53%.

Cost of sales / Gross Profits

During year ended June 30, 2007, prices for raw materials remained relatively constant when compared to the prior year.  While no assurance can be given, we anticipate this trend to continue, at least for the near future. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we have incurred increased direct labor and supervisory salaries and related benefits associated with increased production.  As part of our expansion plan, we have continued to increase our managerial and production staff.  We believe this increase is required and should ultimately support our expansion plan. Additionally, we incurred increased general overhead costs, such as product liability insurance, workers compensation insurance, medical benefits and utilities. We believe these higher costs will likely continue for the near future.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 significantly increased by $4,239, or 24%, to $21,667, compared to $17,428 for the year ended June 30, 2006.  In addition, our gross profit percentage remained relatively consistent, increasing 1.2 percentage points from 27.5% for the year ended June 30, 2006 to 28.7% for the year ended June 30, 2007. While direct labor and most overhead expenses have increased to accommodate higher manufacturing throughput in fiscal 2007, the improvement in gross margin is primarily a function of (i) the Company selling higher margin products during the current fiscal year and (ii) greater throughput and relatively higher inventory levels as of June 30, 2007 resulting in higher absorption of labor and overhead and thus, a positive impact on cost of goods sold. 

Gross margin percentage can fluctuate as a result of many factors, such as changes in our selling price or the cost of raw materials, as well as increases in cost of labor and general overhead.  Fluctuations in our sales volume and product mix affect gross margin dollars. As part of our plan, we are seeking to add new products with higher margins, however, there can be no assurance that sales will increase or cost of sales will not increase disproportionately.

Selling and General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, SG&A expenses increased $1,891, or 16.5% to $13,340, as compared to $11,449 during fiscal year end June 2006. When stated as a percentage of net sales, SG&A expenses decreased to 17.6% for the year ended June 2007 as compared to 18.1% for the year ended June 2006.

Significant factors contributing to the dollar increase in SG&A expenses include: an increase of $887 in compensation and related taxes and benefits of sales and administrative staff to support our growth; an increase in professional services of $688, of which $289 relates to costs associated with the implementation of our new ERP system and of which the remainder can be associated with management and IT consulting, an increase in depreciation of $545, primarily due to our second facility becoming operational for general and administrative purposes in July 2006; an increase in rent of $50 and utilities of $196, much of which is associated with our second facility; an increase in computer-related expenses of $202 related to the increase in the number of employees; and an increase in Board Compensation of $194 as a result of a new Board of Directors Compensation Policy. Included in SG&A expense for the fiscal year ended June 2006, was a $621 non-recurring expense related to investment banking services and a non-recurring commission expense of $460 related to a specific contract providing for commissions to one salesman during the first year of sales under a sales agreement with Centrix. The one time expenses incurred during the year ended June 2006 offset the increases noted above in SG&A expenses in the current year.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for new products currently in development in our new product pipeline consist primarily of wages, outside development organizations, bioequivalence studies, materials, legal fees, and consulting fees. Research and development expenses increased by $8,288 or 77.6% during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 to $18,962 as compared to $10,674 during the fiscal year ended June 2006. This represents an increase in R&D as a percentage of net sales to 25.1% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 as compared to 16.8% for the fiscal year ended June 2006.

The increase was due to: higher compensation expenses of $2,324 primarily related to the expansion of analytical chemist and product formulation staff; an increase of $1,561 for legal services primarily related to patent reviews for products under development or pending launch; an increase in purchases of raw materials of $1,276 necessary for the production of trial batches of new generic pharmaceutical products; $1,128 of increased costs related to bioequivalence studies for new generic pharmaceutical products currently in development; and an increase of $749 for consulting related to new product development.

Our research and development efforts continue to focus in the areas of oral contraceptives, soft gelatin capsules and modified release products, and we are planning to commence bioequivalence studies in each of these areas by December 2007. Work is progressing well in the product area of products coming off patent. As we continue to focus in on these types of pharmaceutical products and as new products are released we anticipate a decline in our research and development costs.

As previously disclosed, during February 2005, we entered into an agreement (“Solids Agreement”), for solid dosage products (“solids”) with Tris. In July 2005, the Solids Agreement was amended. According to the terms of the Solids Agreement, as amended, we will collaborate with Tris on the development, manufacture and marketing of eight solid oral dosage generic products. The amendment to this agreement requires Tris to deliver Technical Packages for two soft-gel products and one additional solid dosage product. Some of the products included in this agreement, as amended, may require us to challenge the patents for the equivalent branded products. This agreement, as amended, provides for payments of an aggregate of $4,800 to Tris, whether or not regulatory approval is obtained for any of the solids products. The Solids Agreement also provides for an equal sharing of net profits for each product, except for one product, that is successfully sold and marketed, after the deduction and reimbursement of all litigation-related and certain other costs. The excluded product provides for a profit split of 60% for us and 40% for Tris. Further, this agreement provides us with a perpetual royalty-free license to use all technology necessary for the solid products in the United States, its territories and possessions.

In April 2006, we further amended the Solids Agreement. This second amendment required Tris to deliver a Technical Package for one additional solid dosage product. Further, terms of this second amendment required the Company to pay to Tris an additional $300 associated with the original agreement.

During October 2006, we entered into a new agreement (“New Liquids Agreement”) with Tris Pharma, Inc. (“Tris”), which terminated the agreement entered into in February 2005, which was for the development and licensing of up to twenty-five liquid generic products (“Liquids Agreement”). According to the terms of the New Liquids Agreement, Tris will, among other things, be required to develop and deliver the properties, specifications and formulations (“Product Details”) for fourteen generic liquid pharmaceutical products (“Liquid Products”). We will then utilize this information to obtain all necessary approvals. Further, under the terms of the New Liquids Agreement Tris will manufacture, package and label each product for a fee. We were required to pay Tris $1,000, whether or not regulatory approval is obtained for any of the liquid products. We have paid in full the $1,000; $250 having been paid during the term of the initial Liquids Agreement; $500 paid upon the execution of the New Liquids Agreement, and the balance of $250 paid December 15, 2006. In addition, Tris is to receive 40% of the net profits, as defined, in accordance with the terms in the New Liquids Agreement.

We further amended the Solids Agreement in October 2006, modifying the manner in which certain costs will be shared as well as clarifying the parties’ respective audit rights.

Interest Expense

Our net interest expense increased approximately $557 to approximately $1,275 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 from $718 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006.  In an effort to fund our plan, we increased our borrowings from our credit facility with Wells Fargo Business Credit. The additional borrowings were required primarily to fund our research and development efforts, for renovation and construction costs incurred for our second facility and new equipment. In addition to these borrowings being in place for the entire year ended June 30, 2007, we also began to draw down from our line of credit in Q4 2007 and taken additional equipment loans. Our total outstanding debt with Wells Fargo was $26,400 at June 30, 2007 compared to $15,567 at June 30, 2006.

In addition, $87 was included in interest expense for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 related to the accreted interest on the Watson Laboratories, Inc. (“Watson”) Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) discussed below.

In order to hedge against rising interest rates, we entered into two interest rate swap arrangements. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $10 and $98 and is included in Other Assets. However, it is likely that, as a result of additional borrowings we will incur increases in our interest expense in the future.

Contract Termination Expense

On October 3, 2006, we entered into a Termination and Release Agreement with Watson terminating the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated October 14, 2003 (the “Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which we manufactured and supplied and Watson distributed and sold generic Vicoprofen(R) (7.5 mg hydrocodone bitartrate/200 mg ibuprofen) tablets, (the “Product”). As a result of entering into the Termination Agreement, we recorded contract termination expense of $1,655 for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Operating Loss

Although our sales and gross margins increased, as a result of our increase in research and development efforts from which we believe we will see the benefits from in the future, along with increases in selling and general and administrative costs, we incurred an operating loss of $10,738 for the year ended June 30, 2007 compared to an operating loss of $4,767 for the year ended June 30, 2006.

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 the entire net deferred tax asset will not be realized. We assess realization of our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence in order to conclude whether it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will be realized. Available evidence considered includes, but is not limited to, the our historic operation results, projected future operating earnings results, reversing temporary differences and changing business circumstances. When there is a change in circumstances that causes a change in judgment about the realizability of the deferred tax assets, we may adjust all or a portion of the applicable valuation allowance in the period when such changes occur. For the year ended June 30, 2007 increased our valuation allowance by $4,670 and we recorded income tax expense of $190 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2006, which had a benefit from income tax of $1,700.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2007 we had an accumulated deficit of $18,831 and operating activities used $14,105 of cash for the year then ended. In order to address our operating loss position and our lack of liquidity, (i) we have completed a series of banking and financing activities in October and November 2007, which are outlined below in “Subsequent Events - Banking and Financing Transactions”, and (ii) we are taking various actions to improve profitability and cash flows generated from operations, including:

 
·
Reducing headcount and other operating expenses in different functional areas where possible while still carrying out our future growth plan

 
·
Increasing revenue through the launch of new products, identifying new customers and expanding relationships with existing customers
 
 
·
Scaling back our research and development activities to levels where we can execute our overall business plan while managing the financial implications
 
While we believe that the initiatives described above will result in positive cash flows and profitability, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our cash flow and profitability goals, or that we will be able, if necessary, to raise additional capital sufficient to implement our plans. In such event, we may have to revise our plans and significantly reduce our operating expenses, which could have an adverse effect on revenue and operations in the short term.

Subsequent Events - Banking and Financing Transactions

1. On October 26, 2007, the Company and Wells Fargo Business Credit finalized a Forbearance Agreement that terminates on December 31, 2007, which was subsequently amended on November 12, 2007. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to (i) financial reporting obligations, including the submission of its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, and (ii) financial covenants related to minimum net cash flow, maximum allowable leverage ratio, maximum allowable total capital expenditures and unfinanced capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”). WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults based upon the Borrower’s consummation and receipt of $8,000 related to the issuance of subordinated debt described below. The parties have agreed to establish financial covenants for fiscal year 2008 prior to the conclusion of the Forbearance Period.
 
2. On November 7, 2007 and November 14, 2007, as required by the Forbearance Agreement, the Company received a total of $8,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of subordinated debt.

On November 7, 2007, Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Vimla M. Sutaria, his wife, loaned $3,000 to the Company pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Secured 12% Promissory Note due November 7, 2010 (the “Sutaria Note”). Interest of 12% per annum on the Sutaria Note is payable quarterly in arrears, and for the first 12 months of the note’s term, may be paid in cash, or additional notes (“PIK Notes”), at the option of the Company. Thereafter, the Company is required to pay at least 8% interest in cash, and the balance, at its option, in cash or PIK Notes.

Repayment of the Sutaria Notes is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the Sutaria Notes are subordinated to the liens held by WFBC and the holders of the STAR Notes described below.

On November 14, 2007, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $5,000 of Secured 12% Promissory Notes due October 1, 2009 (the “STAR Notes”) in the following amounts to the following parties:
 
Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (“TD III”)
 
$
833
 
Aisling Capital II, L.P. (“Aisling”)
 
$
833
 
Cameron Reid (“Reid”)
 
$
833
 
Sutaria Family Realty, LLC (“SFR”)
 
$
2,500
 

TD III is an investor in the Company and the holder of its Series B-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Aisling is also an investor in the Company and the holder of its Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. Reid is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and SFR is owned by Company shareholders who control approximately 54% of the Company’s voting stock (the “Major Shareholders”), including Raj Sutaria, who is a Company Executive Vice President.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
Interest of 12% per annum on the STAR Notes is payable quarterly in arrears, and may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or PIK Notes. Upon the Company obtaining stockholder approval and ratification of the issuance of the STAR Note financing and making the necessary filings with the SEC in connection therewith (the “Stockholder Approval”), which is to occur no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than the later of February 28, 2008 or such later date as may be necessary to address SEC comments on the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C, the STAR Notes shall be exchanged for:
 
 
·
Secured Convertible 12% Promissory Notes due 2009 (the “Convertible Notes”) in the original principal amount equal to the principal and accrued interest on the STAR Notes through the date of exchange. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is to be $0.95 per share and interest is to be payable quarterly, in arrears, in either cash or PIK Notes, at the option of the Company;

 
·
Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,842 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.95 per share.

Each of the Convertible Notes and Warrants are to have anti-dilution protection with respect to issuances of Common Stock, or common stock equivalents at less than $0.95 per share such that their conversion or exercise price shall be reset to a price equal to 90% of the price at which shares of Common Stock or equivalents are deemed to have been issued.

The repayment of the STAR and Convertible Notes is secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the STAR Note financing liens are subordinate to those of WFBC, but ahead, in priority, of the Sutaria Notes.

Also, upon the Company obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock held by TD III and Aisling shall be exchangeable for shares of a new Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which shall be substantially similar to the B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock other than the Conversion price which is to be $0.95 per share instead of $1.5338 per share.

3.  Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements for the Company’s Series B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the consent of TD III and Aisling was required for the issuance of the Sutaria Notes and for the STAR Note financing. In consideration for that consent, the Company has agreed to exchange 2,282 warrants to purchase Company Common Stock held by each of TD III and Aisling with an exercise price of $1.639 per share for new warrants with an exercise price of $0.95 per share. In addition, the Major Shareholders have agreed to give TD III and Aisling tag along rights on certain sales of Company common stock.

Our operations and capital expenditures have been financed through cash flows from operations and the WFBC Credit Facility. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, net cash used in operating activities was $14,105 as compared to cash provided by operating activities of $801 during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Significant factors comprising the net cash used in operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 include: net loss of $14,058, increase in inventory of $9,747, and a decrease in deferred revenue of $3,399, partially offset by a decrease of $1,212 in accounts receivable and an increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities of $5,416. Inventory levels increased significantly due to several factors, as discussed below in “Inventory”. The increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other payables primarily relates to the increase in purchased inventory items and the overall increase in operating expenses, primarily related to higher research and development costs.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
We also recognized several non-cash charges: depreciation and amortization of $2,554, contract termination expense of $1,655 (related to termination of the agreement with Watson Pharmaceuticals), stock-based compensation expense (in accordance with SFAS 123 (R)) amounting to $1,070, a lower of cost or market write down of inventory of $1,157 and deferred tax expense of $195.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we used funds in investing activities of $8,296 compared to $8,142 used in investing activities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. These amounts primarily related to capital expenditures of $8,003 in fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 for new machinery, equipment and building renovations as compared to $6,833 of capital expenditures in the prior year. We continue to invest in and develop our Yaphank, NY facility; $4,345 of the total $8,003 in capital expenditures was invested there primarily for purchases of machinery and equipment and building improvements. Most of our research and development activity is conducted there and, as previously reported, we commenced packaging and some manufacturing following an FDA inspection in February 2007. As previously disclosed, we elected not to move forward with the planned construction of a research and development facility in Ahmedabad, India, and on April 25, 2007, we completed the sale of our subsidiary, Interpharm Development Private Limited (“IDPL”) located in Ahmedabad, India to an entity partially owned by two officers of the Company for $161. 

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, net cash of $21,035 was provided by financing activities primarily related to (i) the sale of $10,000 of our Series C-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock in September 2006, which generated $9,993 of cash, and (ii) $9,866 in proceeds from drawdown of the WFBC revolving credit facility.

At June 30, 2007, we had $72 in cash and cash equivalents, compared to $1,438 at June 30, 2006.
 
Bank Financing
On February 9, 2006, we entered into a four-year financing arrangement with Wells Fargo Business Credit (“the WFBC Credit Facility”). This financing agreement provided a maximum credit facility of $41,500 comprised of:

· $22,500 revolving credit facility
· $12,000 real estate term loan
· $ 3,500 machinery and equipment (“M&E”) term loan
· $ 3,500 additional / future capital expenditure facility

The funds made available through this facility paid down, in its entirety, the $20,450 owed on the previous credit facility. The WFBC revolving credit facility borrowing base is calculated as (i) 85% of our eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 50% of cost or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of its eligible inventory. The advances pertaining to inventory are capped at the lesser of 100% of the advance from accounts receivable or $9,000. As of June 30, 2007, our remaining availability under the revolving credit facility was $6,708. The $12,000 loan for the real estate in Yaphank, NY is payable in equal monthly installments of $67 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. As of June 30, 2007, the real estate loan balance outstanding was $10,933. The $3,500 M&E loan is payable in equal monthly installments of $58 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we borrowed $2,780 under the second capital expenditure facility for the cost of new equipment, and such borrowings are being amortized over 60 months. As of June 30, 2007, the aggregate balance outstanding for both M&E term loans was $5,601, and there was approximately $150 available for additional capital expenditure borrowings.

Under the terms of the WFBC agreement, three stockholders, all related to our Chairman of the Board of Directors, one of whom is an Executive Vice President, were required to provide limited personal guarantees, as well as pledge securities with a minimum aggregate value of $7,500 as security for a portion of the $22,500 credit facility. We were required to raise a minimum of $7,000 through the sale of equity or subordinated debt by June 30, 2006. The shareholder’s pledges of marketable securities would be reduced by WFBC either upon our raising capital, net of expenses in excess of $5,000 or achieving certain milestones. As a result of our sale of $10,000 of Series B-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock in May 2006, the limited personal guarantees were reduced by $3,670. Then, in September 2006, our sale of $10,000 Series C-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock eliminated the balance of the personal pledges of marketable securities of $3,830.

The revolving credit facility and term loans bear interest at a rate of the prime rate less 0.5% or, at our option, LIBOR plus 250 basis points. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate on this debt was 7.75%. Pursuant to the requirements of the WFBC agreement, we put in place a lock-box arrangement and we incur a fee of 25 basis points per annum on any unused amounts of this credit facility. The WFBC credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of our assets.

In addition, we are required to comply with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2007, we were not in compliance with several covenants, as described above in “Subsequent Events -

Banking and Financing Transactions”, and we have received a waiver of these defaults from WFBC.

With respect to the real estate term loan and the $3,500 M&E loan, we entered into interest rate swap contracts (the “swaps”), whereby we pay a fixed rate of 7.56% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. The swaps contracts mature in 2010. The swaps are a cash flow hedge (i.e. a hedge against interest rates increasing). As all of the critical terms of the swaps and loans match, they are structured for short-cut accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’” and by definition, there is no hedge ineffectiveness or a need to reassess effectiveness. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 was approximately $10 and is included in Other Assets.

As previously disclosed, we entered into agreements with Tris for the development and delivery of over thirty new Technical Packages. The combined costs of these two agreements will approximate $5,800, of which we have paid $5,425 as of June 30, 2007. The balance on the solids agreement, as amended, of $375 could be paid within two years if all milestones are reached. There is no outstanding balance to be paid related to the liquid agreement as of June 30, 2007.

Future cash flows could be aided by utilization of our available Federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs"). At June 30, 2007 we have remaining Federal NOLs of approximately $32,250 available through 2027. As of June 30, 2007, as a result of changes in New York state law, the benefit of the future utilization of State NOLs has been eliminated. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding substantial changes in Company ownership, utilization of the Federal NOLs is limited. As a result of losses incurred in fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, which indicate uncertainty as to our ability to generate future taxable income, the “more-likely-than-not” standard has not been met and therefore some amount of the Company’s deferred tax asset may not be realized. As such, a valuation allowance of $5,554 has been established decreasing the total accumulated net deferred tax asset of $11,529 to $5,975.

In addition, at June 30, 2007, we have approximately $986 of New York State investment tax credit carryforwards, expiring in various years through 2022. These carryforwards are available to reduce future New York State income tax liabilities. However, we reserved 100% of the investment tax credit carryforward, which we do not anticipate utilizing.

Watson Termination Agreement

On October 3, 2006, we entered into a termination and release agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) with Watson Laboratories, Inc. (“Watson”) terminating the Manufacturing and Supply Agreement dated October 14, 2003 (the “Supply Agreement”) pursuant to which the we manufactured and supplied and Watson distributed and sold generic Vicoprofen(R) (7.5 mg hydrocodone bitartrate/200 mg ibuprofen) tablets, (the “Product”). Watson was required to return all rights and agreements to us thereby enabling us to market the Product. Further, Watson was required to turn over to us its current customer list for this Product and agreed that, for a period of six months from closing, neither Watson nor any of its affiliates is to solicit sales for this product from its twenty largest customers. In accordance with the Termination Agreement, Watson returned approximately $141 of the Product and then we in turn invoiced Watson $42 for repacking.  The net affect was a reduction of $99 to our net sales during the year ended June 30, 2007. In consideration of the termination of Watson’s rights under the Supply Agreement, the we are to pay Watson $2,000 payable at the rate of $500 per year over four years from the first anniversary of the effective date of the termination agreement. Upon entering the Termination Agreement, we determined the net present value of the obligation and accordingly increased Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and Contract termination liability by $367 and $1,287, respectively. The imputed interest of $345 will be amortized over the remaining life of the obligation using the effective interest rate method. At June 30, 2007, contract termination liability of $386 and $1,356 are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and Contract termination liability, respectively.

Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable at June 30, 2007 was $12,945 as compared to $14,212 at June 30, 2006. The average annual turnover ratio of accounts receivable to net sales for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 5.5 and 5.7 turns, respectively. Our turns are calculated on an annual average. Our accounts receivable continue to have minimal risk with respect to bad debts; however this trend cannot be assured.

Inventory
At June 30, 2007, our inventory was $17,295 as compared to $8,706 at June 30, 2006. Our turnover of inventory for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was 4.15 and 5.20, respectively. Our inventory is current; there are no reserves for obsolescence. Our inventory levels have risen in order to support our growth and overall customer demands.

The Company reduces the carrying value of inventories to a lower of cost or market basis for inventory whose net book value is in excess of market. Aggregate reductions in the carrying value with respect to inventories still on hand at June 30, 2007 that were determined to have a carrying value in excess of market was $1,157. As a result, the Company reduced the net book value of inventory on hand by this amount during the year ended June 30, 2007.

Accounts Payable
Our accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities increased by approximately $5,892 to $18,542 at June 30, 2007 from $12,650 at June 30, 2006, primarily as a result of a $3,791 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses related to raw material purchases, which is partially the result of the timing of the receipt of $920 in raw materials at year-end; and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $935 pertaining to research and development costs, of which $580 of the increase related to legal fees in this area. Additionally, the increase is partially attributable to liabilities incurred in relation to fixed asset additions, specifically, the Company has approximately $516 included in accounts payable and accrued expenses at June 30, 2007 related to the acquisition of our new ERP system.

Cash
During the year ended June 30, 2007, cash decreased $1,366 from $1,438 at June 30, 2006 to $72 at June 30, 2007. For the year ended June 30, 2007 we funded our business from bank debt, operations and sale of Series C-1 redeemable convertible preferred stock.

The M&E Term Loans are payable in equal monthly installments of $114 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. With respect to additional capital expenditures, we are permitted to borrow 90% of the cost of new equipment purchased to a maximum of $3,500 in borrowings amortized over 60 months. As of June 30, 2007, there is approximately $150 available for additional capital expenditure borrowings.

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 square feet and is located in an industrial/office park. The current annual lease payments to the landlord, Sutaria Family Realty, LLC, are $660. 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.In January 2007 the Company entered into a seven year lease for approximately 20 square feet of office space. The lease provides us an option to extend the lease for a period of three years. According to the terms of the lease the base annual rental for the first year will be $261 and will increase by 3% annually thereafter. Further, the Company is required to pay for renovations to the facility, currently estimated at approximately $300.

Net Sales

Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 were $63,355 compared to $39,911 for fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, an increase of $23,444 or 58.7%. Significant components contributing to our growth of existing products were those set forth in the table below:

§
The increase in net sales of Ibuprofen was primarily the result of an expanded customer base and improvements in manufacturing and packaging which enabled us to increase output and modest cost of materials reductions.

 
§
An expanded customer base, as well as obtaining a U.S. Government contract to supply Naproxen to various governmental agencies valued at approximately $3,900 for the twelve month period beginning September 2005 were key factors contributing to the $7,721 increase in sales of Naproxen. The contract includes four one-year option periods.
 
 
§
On a fiscal year over year basis, we had an increase of more than $1,166 from sales of Hydrocodone 7.5 mg/Ibuprofen 200 mg, our generic version of Vicoprofen(R), which was launched during the three month period ended December 31, 2004, and Reprexain(R) (Hydrocodone 5.0 mg/Ibuprofen 200 mg). The results for the periods reported include additional revenue derived from a profit sharing arrangement for these products.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we began to see the positive effects of our expansion plan which commenced in 2005. Two new products were launched which contributed greatly to our revenue growth. As we continue our planned product line expansion we anticipate that fiscal year 2007 should witness the launching of new products as well; however there can be no assurance we will be successful in achieving our plan. The two new products for fiscal 2006 were:
 
 
§
As reported in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 18, 2005, we entered into an agreement with Centrix Pharmaceutical, Inc. (“Centrix”) for the sale of a female hormone product, which is distributed in two strengths. This product generates a higher gross margin compared to our other products. The agreement commenced upon the first shipment of the product to Centrix in August, 2005. Centrix was required to purchase a minimum $11,500 of the product during the first twelve month period with the option to purchase an additional $2,000 of product. For the twelve month period ended June 30, 2006, we shipped approximately $8,100 of the female hormone product to Centrix. We will ship approximately $5,400 of product by September 30, 2006. We have renegotiated the agreement with Centrix for the up coming year and we anticipated sales during fiscal 2007 of the product to exceed fiscal year 2006 totals. In the event that the agreement is terminated at any time, or for any reason, we maintain the right to market the product alone or with a third party.

§
In September, 2005, we launched Sulfamethoxazole and Trimethoprim (“SMT”) single and double strength tablets, which are sold by the innovator under the brand-name Bactrim(R). SMT is a widely used antibiotic used to treat infections such as urinary tract infections, bronchitis, ear infections (otitis), traveler's diarrhea, and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. Sales during fiscal 2006 of these products approximated $4,200.

As a result of our decision to greatly reduce and ultimately halt the manufacture and sale of Allopurinol and Atenolol under a contract manufacturing agreement, our revenues for these products declined during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. Both Allopurinol and Atenolol were manufactured for and shipped to one customer based on quantities ordered by that customer. Revenue from sales of Allopurinol and Atenolol decreased by approximately $4,700 from $7,100 for the year ended June 30, 2005 to $2,400 for the year ended June 30, 2006. The manufacturing capacity gained from the decrease in production of these two products is being used for other products.

The fluctuations in revenue by product were generally not attributable to any changes in our pricing which, for our entire product line, remained relatively stable.
 
During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, four key customers, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 53% of total sales. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005 we had three key customers which accounted for approximately 56%

Cost of sales / Gross Profits

During the year ended June 30, 2006, prices for our raw materials remained relatively constant. While no assurance could be given, we anticipated this trend to continue, at least for the near future. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, prices for packaging components increased. It is uncertain as to whether or not these costs will continue to rise. We have incurred increased direct labor and supervisory salaries and related benefits associated with increased production. As part of our expansion plan, we have increased managerial and production staff. We believed this increase is required and should ultimately support our expansion plan. Additionally, incurred increased general overhead costs, such as product liability insurance, workers compensation insurance, medical benefits and utilities.

Gross profit for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 significantly increased $8,356, or 92%, to $17,428, compared to $9,072 for the year ended June 30, 2005.  In addition, our gross profit percentage increased 4.8 percentage points from 22.7% for the year ended June 30, 2005 to 27.5% for the year ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily due to sales of our new products: Bactrim(R) and our female hormone therapy products which both generate higher gross margins compared to our remaining products. Gross margins for the remaining products were generally consistent with the prior year.

Gross margin percentage can fluctuate as a result of many factors, such as changes in our selling price or the cost of raw materials, as well as increases in cost of labor and general overhead. Fluctuations in our sales volume and product mix affect gross margin dollars. As part of our plan, we are seeking to add new products with higher margins, however, there can be no assurance that sales will increase or cost of sales will not increase disproportionately.

Selling and General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, administrative facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for our direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $6,357 to approximately $11,449, or 18.1% of net sales from approximately $5,092 or 12.8% of net sales, during fiscal year end June 30, 2005.

Significant factors contributing to this increase include: necessary increases in the staffing of administrative and sales areas to support our growth of $1,954; related payroll taxes and benefits of $496; increased commission expenses and freight expenses of $314 and $234, respectively, both of which are attributable to our higher sales; $600 for investment banking services; increased accounting and legal costs of $284, primarily related to the refinancing of our bank debt and sale of our Series B-1 preferred stock; an increase in general insurance of $229; increased rent, utilities and taxes of $200; an increase in depreciation of non-manufacturing assets of $105; and the recognition of a non cash charge of $1,195` as a result of our adoption of the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Included in the $1,195 was a non-cash charge related to the modification of an option grant as a result the death of an executive officer. Adoption of SFAS 123(R) requires us to report a non-cash expense for the ratable portion of the fair value of employee stock option awards of unvested stock options over the remaining vesting period. Previously we elected to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for our 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 Interpretation No. 44, “Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation”.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses for new products currently in development in our new product pipeline consist primarily of wages, outside development organizations, bioequivalence studies, materials, legal fees, and consulting fees. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 we incurred $10,674 in research and development expenses, which is $6,671 greater than the prior year amount of $4,003. We believe that research and development expenses, as a percentage of our net sales, will be substantially higher in the future as we seek to expand our product lines. While we believed increased spending for research and development efforts will allow us to add obtain approvals for new products, there can be no assurance we will be successful in the commercialization.

A significant component of our expansion plan includes two agreements with Tris Pharma, Inc. (“Tris”). One of the agreements is for the development and licensing of twenty-five liquid generic products (“Liquids Agreement”). In the event that Tris delivers twenty-five successful technical packages, of which there can be no assurance, we will be required to pay Tris $3,000.

INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
In accordance with the terms of this agreement, we make payments as various milestones are achieved. In addition, Tris is to receive a royalty of between 10% and 12% of net profits resulting from the sales of each product. We are entitled to offset the royalty payable to Tris each year, at an agreed upon rate, to recoup the development fees paid to Tris under the Liquids Agreement.

The second agreement, as amended, pertains to the solid dosage products (“solids”), pursuant to which we are to collaborate with Tris on the development, manufacture and marketing of eight solid oral dosage generic products. The amendment to this agreement requires Tris to deliver technical packages for two softgel products. Further, the terms of this amendment require us pay to Tris $750 based upon various Tris milestone achievements. Some products included in this agreement, as amended, may require us to challenge the patents for the equivalent branded products. This agreement, as amended, provides for payments of an aggregate of $4,500 to Tris, whether or not regulatory approval is obtained for any of the solids products. The agreement for solids also provides for an equal sharing of net profits for each product, except for one product, if it is successfully sold and marketed, after the deduction and reimbursement of all litigation-related and certain other costs. The excluded product provides for a profit split of 60% for the Company and 40% for Tris. Further, this agreement provides us with a perpetual royalty-free license to use all technology necessary for the solid products in the United States, its territories and possessions.

In April, 2006, the solids agreement was further amended. This second amendment requires Tris to deliver a Technical Package for one additional solid dosage product. Further, terms of this second amendment will requires us to pay to Tris an additional $300 after it has paid the initial aggregate amounts associated to the original agreement.

For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we recorded as a research and development expense approximately $2,110 in connection with these agreements. Further, since inception, we have incurred approximately $3,510 of research and development costs associated with the Tris agreements. The combined costs of these agreements could aggregate up to $7,800. The balance on the liquid agreement of $2,750 could be paid within three years if all milestones are reached. The balance on the solids agreement, as amended, of $1,675 could be paid within two years if all milestones are reached.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we filed seventeen ANDAs.

Interest Expense

Our interest expense, net increased approximately $583 to approximately $718 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 from $136 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005. In an effort to fund our plan, in February, 2006, we increased our borrowing capabilities through a new credit facility entered into with Wells Fargo Business Credit. The additional borrowings were required primarily to fund our research and development efforts, for renovation and construction costs incurred for our second facility and new equipment. In order to hedge against rising interest rates, we entered into two interest rate swap arrangements. As of June 30, 2006, we have saved approximately $98 as a result of these swaps agreements.

Operating Loss

Although our sales and gross margins increased, as a result of our increase in research and development efforts from which we believe we will see the benefits from in the future, along with increases in selling and general and administrative costs, we incurred an operating loss of $5,490 for the year ended June 30, 2006 compared to an operating loss of $222 for the year ended June 30, 2005.

Income Taxes
 
For the year ended June 30, 2006 we recorded an income tax benefit of $1,700, an increase in the benefit of $1,627 compared to the year ended June 30, 2005 which had a benefit from income tax of $73.

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, 2006 was $6,170 and $4,413 at June 30, 2005.

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 we 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, we evaluate judgments and estimates made, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, income taxes and contingencies including litigation. We base our 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 Recognition

We recognize product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, when estimated provisions for chargebacks and other sales allowances including discounts, rebates, etc., are reasonably determinable, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to revenues.

We purchased raw materials from one supplier for the year ended June 30, 2007 and two suppliers for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, which are manufactured into finished goods and sold back to this supplier as well as to other customers. We can, and do, purchase raw materials from other suppliers. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force, (“EITF”) No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” the Company recorded sales to, and purchases from, this supplier on a gross basis. Sales and purchases were recorded on a gross basis since we (i) have a risk of loss associated with the raw materials purchased, (ii) convert the raw material into a finished product based upon developed specifications, (iii) have other sources of supply of the raw material, and (iv) have credit risk related to the sale of such product to the suppliers. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we purchased raw materials from this supplier totaling approximately $10,714, and sold finished goods to this supplier totaling approximately $1,054. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we purchased raw materials from two suppliers, which were manufactured into finished goods and sold back to these suppliers totaling approximately $10,608 and $9,251, respectively, and sold finished goods to such suppliers totaling approximately $6,110, and $17,414, respectively. These purchase and sales transactions are recorded at fair value in accordance with EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty”.

In addition, we are party to supply agreements with certain pharmaceutical companies under which, in addition to the selling price of the product, we receive payments based on sales or profits associated with these products realized by its customer. We recognize revenue related to the initial selling price upon shipment of the products as the selling price is fixed and determinable and no right of return exists. The additional revenue component of these agreement’s are recognized by us at the time our customers record their sales and is based on pre-defined formulas contained in the agreements. Receivables related to this revenue of $594 and $620 and at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales Returns and Allowances

At the time of sale, we simultaneously record estimates for various costs, which reduce product sales. These costs include estimates of chargebacks and other sales allowances. In addition, we record an allowance for rebates, including Medicaid rebates and shelf-stock adjustments when the conditions are appropriate. Estimates for sales allowances such as chargebacks are based on a variety of factors including actual return experience of that product or similar products, rebate arrangements for each product, and estimated sales by our wholesale customers to other third parties who have contracts with us. Actual experience associated with any of these items may be different than our estimates. We regularly review the factors that influence our estimates and, if necessary, make adjustments when we believe that actual product returns, credits and other allowances may differ from established reserves.

Sales Incentives

In accordance with the terms and conditions of an agreement entered into during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, we have offered a sales incentive to one of our customers in the form of an incentive volume price adjustment. We account for sales incentives in accordance with EITF 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor's Products)" (“EITF 01-9”). The terms of this volume based sales incentive required the customer to purchase a minimum quantity of our products during a specified period of time. The incentive offered was based upon a fixed dollar amount per unit sold to the customer. We made an estimate of the ultimate amount of the incentive the customer would earn based upon past history with the customer and other facts and circumstances. We had the ability to estimate this volume incentive price adjustment, as there did not exist a relatively long period of time for the particular adjustment to be earned. Any change in the estimated amount of the volume incentive was recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. In accordance with EITF 01-9, we recorded the provision for this sales incentive when the related revenue is recognized. Our sales incentive liability may prove to be inaccurate, in which case we may have understated or overstated the provision required for these arrangements. Therefore, although we make our best estimate of our sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of our customer, could have significant impact on the our liability for sales incentives and our reported operating results. The specific terms of this agreement which related to sales incentives expired in October 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007, we recognized sales incentive revenue of $3,399 related to this agreement.

Inventory

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.

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, 2007 was $5,975 and $6,170 at June 30, 2006.

Research and Development

Pursuant to SFAS No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,” research and development costs are expensed as incurred or at the date payment of non-refundable amounts become due, whichever occurs first. Research and development costs, which consist of salaries and related costs of research and development personnel, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, raw materials used specifically in the development of its new products and bioequivalence studies. Pre-approved milestone payments due under contract research and development arrangements are expensed when the milestone is achieved.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. As a result, our net income before taxes for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 are $1,070 and $1,195 lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). 

Accounts Receivable / Chargebacks
Accounts receivable are comprised of amounts owed to us through the sales of our products throughout the United States. These accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns, discounts, rebates and customer chargebacks. Allowances for doubtful accounts were approximately $30 and $101 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts, in addition to an overall aging analysis. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Allowances relating to discounts, rebates, and customer chargebacks were $4,865 and $2,315 at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. We sell some of our products indirectly to various government agencies referred to below as “indirect customers.” We enter into agreements with our indirect customers to establish pricing for certain products. The indirect customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to actually purchase the products at these agreed-upon prices. We will provide credit to the selected wholesaler for the difference between the agreed-upon price with the indirect customer and the wholesaler’s invoice price if the price sold to the indirect customer is lower than the direct price to the wholesaler. This credit is called a chargeback. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by our wholesale customers to the indirect customers, and estimated wholesaler inventory levels. As sales to the large wholesale customers increase, the reserve for chargebacks will also generally increase. However, the size of the increase depends on the product mix. We continually monitor the reserve for chargebacks and make adjustments to the reserve as deemed necessary. Actual chargebacks may differ from estimated reserves.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2006, The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus in EITF Issue 06-6 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“EITF 06-6”).  EITF 06-6 addresses the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion option and the subsequent recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,”.  The consensus should be applied to modifications or exchanges of debt instruments occurring in interim or annual periods beginning after November 29, 2006.  The adoption of EITF 06-6 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-7, “Issuer’s Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“EITF 06-7”). At the time of issuance, an embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument may be required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately by the issuer as a derivative under of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) 133, based on the application of EITF 00-19. Subsequent to the issuance of the convertible debt, facts may change and cause the embedded conversion option to no longer meet the conditions for separate accounting as a derivative instrument, such as when the bifurcated instrument meets the conditions of Issue 00-19 to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Under EITF 06-7, when an embedded conversion option previously accounted for as a derivative under FAS 133 no longer meets the bifurcation criteria under that standard, an issuer shall disclose a description of the principal changes causing the embedded conversion option to no longer require bifurcation under FAS 133 and the amount of the liability for the conversion option reclassified to stockholders’ equity. EITF 06-7 should be applied to all previously bifurcated conversion options in convertible debt instruments that no longer meet the bifurcation criteria in FAS 133 in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, regardless of whether the debt instrument was entered into prior or subsequent to the effective date of EITF 06-7. Earlier application of EITF 06-7 is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of EITF 06-7 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 ''Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140'' (''SFAS 155''). SFAS 155 clarifies certain issues relating to embedded derivatives and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions of SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No.109”). Specifically, FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods of income taxes, as well as the required disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently assessing the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”), which amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 permits the choice of the amortization method or the fair value measurement method, with changes in fair value recorded in income, for the subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The statement is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect that adopting this statement will have on our financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It codifies the definitions of fair value included in other authoritative literature; clarifies and, in some cases, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements; and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies to (and amends) the provisions of existing authoritative literature, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This statement will be effective for the our fiscal year beginning July 2008. We are evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108") which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in
quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 became effective in fiscal 2007. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”) which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”    Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We do not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. 
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-3 provides clarification surrounding the accounting for nonrefundable research and development advance payments, whereby such payments should be recorded as an asset when the advance payment is made and recognized as an expense when the research and development activities are performed. EITF 07-3 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2007. We record these advance payments in accordance with EITF 07-3 and therefore does not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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
 
As of this filing, our principal financial instrument is a $41,500 credit facility, consisting of a real property mortgage of $12,000, two machinery and equipment lines aggregating $7,000 and a revolving credit line of a maximum of $22,500, subject to a certain asset levels. Under the terms of the WFBC agreement, three stockholders, all related to our Chairman of the Board of Directors, one of whom was, at the time, our Chief Operating Officer, were required to provide limited personal guarantees, as well as pledge securities with a minimum aggregate value of $7,500 as security for a portion of the $22,500 credit facility. We were required to raise a minimum of $7,000 through the sale of equity or subordinated debt by June 30, 2006. The shareholder’s pledges of marketable securities would be reduced by WFBC either upon raising capital, net of expenses in excess of $5,000 or achieving certain milestones. As a result of the sale of $10,000 of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock in May 2006, the limited personal guarantees were reduced by $3,670. In September, 2006 we consummated a $10,000 sale of a Series C-1 Convertible preferred stock, which eliminated the balance of the personal pledges of marketable securities of $3,830.

At June 30, 2007, total obligations to our bank pertaining to the credit facility described above were: (i) $9,866 related to the WFBC line of credit; (ii) approximately $10,933 real property term loan; and (ii) $5,601 owing on the machinery and equipment lines.

With respect to the real estate term loan and the $3,500 M&E loan, we entered into interest rate swap contract (the “swaps”), whereby the Company pays a fixed rate of 7.56% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. The swaps contracts mature in 2010. The swaps are a cash flow hedge (i.e. a hedge against interest rates increasing). As all of the critical terms of the swaps and loans match, they are structured for short-cut accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” and by definition, there is no hedge ineffectiveness or a need to reassess effectiveness. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 was approximately $10 and is included in Other Assets

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, 2007, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer 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.

In July 2007, the Company implemented an enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system. The implementation involves enhancements in business processes and significant improvements to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting. In addition to expanding and improving access to information, we believe the new ERP system will provide a standard scalable information platform to accommodate our current business growth plan.

Code of Ethics 
 
The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to all of our employees, officers and directors. The Code of Ethics is available at the Company’s website, www.interpharminc.com.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Experts

The Board of Directors created an audit committee in 1994. The audit committee is comprised of three directors: Kennith Johnson, Stewart Benjamin and David Reback. The audit committee is responsible for reviewing reports of financial results, audits, internal controls, and adherence to its Business Conduct Guidelines in compliance with federal procurement laws and regulations. The committee also recommends to the Board of Directors the selection of our outside auditors and reviews their procedures for ensuring their independence with respect to the services performed for us.

We believe that Kennith Johnson and Stewart Benjamin qualify as “audit committee financial experts” as defined in Rule 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 11.  COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
Introduction and Corporate Governance 

Our Compensation Committee (which is referred to herein as the “Committee” or as the “Compensation Committee”) oversees and administers our executive compensation programs. The Committee’s complete roles and responsibilities are set forth in the written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, which can be found at www.interpharminc.com under “Corporate Governance.” The Board of Directors selected the following four individuals to serve on the Committee in November, 2006: Richard J. Miller (Chair), Kennith Johnson, David Reback and Joan Neuscheler. All of these individuals, with the exception of Richard J. Miller, qualify as an independent director under the rules of the American Stock Exchange.
 
The Committee meets at regularly scheduled times during the year and on an ad hoc basis as business needs necessitate. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Committee met for three regularly scheduled meetings and held two ad hoc meeting. As part of his duties as the Committee Chair, Mr. Miller reports on Committee actions and recommendations to the Board of Directors.

The Committee has retained Frederic W. Cook and Associates (“FW Cook”) as outside advisors to the Committee. FW Cook reports directly to the Committee and provides guidance on matters including trends in executive and non-employee director compensation, the development of specific executive compensation programs and other matters as directed by the Committee. FW Cook does not provide any other services to the Company.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives 

Our compensation program for the individuals named in the Summary Compensation Table (the “named executive officers”) is designed and implemented based on our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. Our compensation committee’s current intent is to perform an annual strategic review of our executive officers’ compensation to determine whether they provide adequate incentives and motivation and whether they adequately compensate our executive officers relative to comparable officers in other companies with which we compete for executives. We strive to adhere to this philosophy by significantly differentiating the pay and rewards of our executive officers based on their demonstrated performance and potential to contribute to the long-term success of the Company. Competing for talent in the rapidly changing and increasingly competitive pharmaceutical industry is both challenging and critical to our success. The quality of the Company’s talent is a key driver of long-term stockholder value. Establishing and maintaining executives’ long-term commitment to us is critical to the development of our product pipeline, as development of new products often takes three years or more, and time to market is critical to our business success.

71

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
We have established a total rewards framework that supports our compensation philosophy through the following objectives:
 
     
 
• 
to afford our executives a competitive total rewards opportunity relative to organizations with which we compete for executive talent,
 
   
 
• 
to allow us to attract and retain superior, experienced people who can perform and succeed in our fast-paced, dynamic and challenging environment,
 
   
 
• 
to support our meritocracy by ensuring that our top performers receive rewards that are substantially greater than those received by average performers at the same position level, and
 
   
 
• 
to deliver pay in a cost efficient manner that aligns employees’ rewards with stockholders’ long-term interests.
 
What is our compensation program designed to reward? 

The compensation program is designed to reward superior financial, strategic and operational performance that is achieved in a manner consistent with the Company’s values. Results and how the results are attained are both critically important. Our executive officers are assessed on the basis of demonstrated results relative to pre-established goals, ability to address market changes in a timely and efficient manner, as well as demonstrated competencies and behavioral attributes.

Compensation Program Elements and Pay Level Determination 

What factors are considered in determining the amounts of compensation? 

The Committee has formalized a review process for the determination of base salaries, annual incentive targets and payments, and long-term incentive targets and awards for all executive officers. For the year ended June 30, 2007, there were no changes in the base salary or any annual cash incentive and long-term incentive award determinations for the Chief Executive Officer.

As part of this review process, the CEO presents to the Committee individual assessments of each executive officer’s performance over the prior year, as well as recommended compensation actions for each executive officer. The performance assessments for executive officers include performance relative to established goals, overall leadership effectiveness, impact across the organization and performance and impact relative to other executive officers.
 
Formal goal setting is critical to ensuring that our compensation program rewards each executive based on his or her success relative to the specific objectives for his or her role. All Company senior managers are subject to annual goal setting, as well as annual performance reviews. The key metrics we use to measure performance differ by individual, but can be grouped into the following categories:

72



INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
 
• 
Financial — we evaluate measures of Company financial performance, including revenue growth, gross margins, operating margins and other measures such as expense management.
 
   
 
• 
Strategic — we monitor the success of our executive team in furthering the strategic success of the Company, including the development of the Company’s product pipeline.
 
   
 
• 
Operational — we include operational measures in our determination of success, including our production capacity and capability, the timeliness and effectiveness of new product launches, the execution of important internal Company initiatives and customer growth and retention.
 
The Committee considers the totality of the information presented (including external competitiveness, the performance review, Company performance, progress towards strategic objectives and internal equity) and applies its knowledge and discretion to determine the compensation for each executive officer.

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company targeted its compensation at the median of its market peers, which are defined in the next section. The actual compensation level for each executive officer may be above or below median depending on factors such as Company performance, individual performance, skills/capabilities, overall impact/contribution, experience in position, “premiums” initially required to attract the executive and internal equity.

What external market peer group is used for comparison, and how is it established? 

The Company’s peer group is comprised of: (1) a named set of companies for which executive compensation data from public filings is compiled and analyzed; and (2) a somewhat broader set of companies participating in benchmark compensation surveys from which executive compensation data is compiled and analyzed by our compensation advisor.

The named peer group is reviewed annually by the Committee for appropriateness, considering such factors as size (e.g., revenue and market capitalization), complexity (e.g., multiple marketed products), geographic scope of operations (e.g., domestic-only presence), etc. The named peer group for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 includes:
 
Arqule
 
Hi Tech Phamacal
 
Quigley
 
Caraco
Bentley Pharmaceuticals
 
Inspire Pharmaceutical
 
Saviant
 
Theragenics
Bradley Pharmaceuticals
 
Lannett
 
Supergen
 
 
 
The compensation surveys used in analyzing our external competitiveness include data from a broader set of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies. We believe that this broader set of companies is representative of our competitive market for executive officers. These compensation surveys provide reliable data to complement the data collected from executive compensation disclosures of our named peer group.

73

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
What is each element of compensation and why is it paid? 

The Company’s executive compensation program is designed with three elements (discussed in detail below), each of which serves an important role in supporting Interpharm’s pay-for-performance philosophy and in realizing our compensation program objectives:
 
Element 
 
Role and Purpose 
 
   
Base Salary
 
• Provide a stable source of income that facilitates the attraction and recognition of the acquired skills and contributions of executives in the day-to-day management of our business.
Long-term Incentives
 
• Align executive interests with those of stockholders.
 
 
• Promote long-term retention and stock ownership, and hold executives accountable for enhancing stockholder value.
 
 
• Enable the delivery of competitive compensation opportunities in a manner that balances cost efficiency with perceived value.
Benefits & Perquisites
 
• Provide programs that promote health, wellness and financial security.
 
 
• Provide executive benefits and perquisites at or below market competitive levels.
 
While the general mix of the elements is considered in the design of our total compensation program, the Committee does not target a specific mix of pay in either its program design or in its compensation determinations. By design, our executive officers have more variability than non-executives in their compensation, to more closely tie their compensation to the Company’s overall performance.

Base Salary
 
We pay our executive officers base salaries to provide a baseline level of compensation that is both competitive with the external market and commensurate with each employee’s past performance, experience, responsibilities and skills. The Company generally targets base salaries around the median of our external market peers. In making its base salary determinations, the Committee takes into account the internal and external factors described above. Base salary increases from the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 for our named executive officers averaged 2% and ranged from 0% to 5%. The Company’s CEO received a 0% increase in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.

Long-term Incentives
 
A long-term incentive (“LTI”) opportunity has been designed for managers to foster a culture of ownership, align compensation with stockholder interests and promote long-term retention and affiliation with the organization. The Committee has determined the types of awards to be used for delivering long-term incentives. In doing so, the Committee considered the ability of each type of award to achieve key compensation objectives (such as employee retention, motivation and attraction), the needs of the business, competitive market practices, dilution and expense constraints, as well as tax and accounting implications.

74

 
INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(In thousands, except per share data)
 
For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Committee evaluated various program designs and approved a program awarding stock options for our executive officers. Stock options promote stockholder alignment and accountability and are qualified as performance-based pay under Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m). Our 2007 stock option grants vest over four years.

Tax-deductibility of Compensation 

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits to $1 million the amount a company may deduct for compensation paid to its CEO or any of its other four named executive officers. This limitation does not, however, apply to compensation meeting the definition of “qualifying performance-based” compensation.

Management works with the Committee to assess alternatives to preserve the deductibility under Section 162(m) of compensation payments to the extent reasonably practicable, consistent with our compensation policies and as determined to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, the Company believes that the Compensation payments will meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Perquisites and Personal Benefits 

In addition to participating in the benefit programs provided to all other employees (for example, medical, dental, vision, life and disability insurance, employee stock purchase plan), we provide certain perquisites and additional benefits to executives. These supplemental benefits and perquisites include:
 
 
 
· Auto Allowances The Company provided annual car allowance benefits to executive officers and certain management personnel. Such reimbursement is considered taxable income to the recipients.
 
· Mobile Telephone Allowance: The Company provided monthly mobile telephone allowance benefits to executive officers and certain management personnel. Such reimbursement is considered taxable income to the recipients.
 
   
 
   

Retirement Plans 

We maintain a pre-tax savings plan covering substantially all employees, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, eligible employees, including executive management, may contribute a portion of their pre-tax salary, subject to certain limitations. The Company contributes and matches 100% of the employee pre-tax contributions, up to 3% of the employee’s compensation plus 50% of pre-tax contributions that exceed 3% of compensation, but not to exceed 5% of compensation. The Company may also make profit-sharing contributions in its discretion which would be allocated among all eligible employees, whether or not they make contributions.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
Lease

Our 100 square foot facility at 75 Adams Avenue in Hauppauge, New York is owned by Sutaria Family Realty, LLC which is owned by Perry Sutaria, Raj Sutaria and Mona Rametra. Interpharm, Inc. is obligated to pay minimum annual rent of $660, plus property taxes, insurance, maintenance and other expenses related to the leased facility.

Investment in APR, LLC.
 
In February and April 2005, we purchased 5.0 Class A membership interests (“Interests”) from each of Cameron Reid (“Reid”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and John Lomans (“Lomans”), who has no affiliation with us, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,023 (including costs of $23) of APR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company primarily engaged in the development of complex bulk pharmaceutical products (“APR”). The purchases were made pursuant to separate Class A Membership Interest Purchase Agreements dated February 16, 2005 between us and Reid and Lomans (the “Purchase Agreements”). At the time of the purchases, Reid and Lomans owned all of the outstanding Class A membership interests of APR, which had outstanding 100 Class A membership interests and 100 Class B membership interests. The two classes of membership interests have different economic and voting rights, and the Class A members have the right to make most operational decisions. The Class B interests are held by one of our major customers and suppliers. As a result, we currently own 10 Interests out of the 100 Interests now outstanding.

In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreements, we have granted to Reid and Lomans each a proxy to vote 5 of the Interests owned by us on all matters on which the holders of Interests may vote. Our Board of Directors approved the purchases of Interests at a meeting held on February 15, 2005, based on an analysis and advice from an independent investment banking firm. Reid did not participate during the deliberations on this matter. We are accounting for our investment in APR pursuant to the cost method of accounting.

Purchase from APR, LLC

During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company placed an order valued at $160 for a certain raw material from APR. The Company currently purchases the same raw material from an overseas supplier at a price 37% greater than the price APR is currently willing to offer. The Company believes sourcing the raw material from APR would not only resolve intermittent delays in obtaining this material from overseas but would also improve gross margins on products using the raw material. The Company believes sourcing the raw material from APR would not only resolve intermittent delays in obtaining this material from overseas but would also improve gross margins on products using the raw material. Supply of this raw material is being coordinated with the Company’s requirement projections for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has advanced $80 to APR in connection with this order.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Audit Committee of
Interpharm Holdings, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries at June 30, 2007 and 2006, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2007, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In thousands, except per share data)
 
NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business
Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”), through one of its wholly-owned subsidiaries, 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.

Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes product sales revenue when title and risk of loss have transferred to the customer, when estimated provisions for chargebacks and other sales allowances including discounts, rebates, etc., are reasonably determinable, and when collectibility is reasonably assured. Accruals for these provisions are presented in the consolidated financial statements as reductions to revenues. Accounts receivable are presented net of allowances relating to the above provisions of $4,865 and $2,315 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

The Company purchased raw materials from one supplier for the year ended June 30, 2007 and two suppliers for the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, which are manufactured into finished goods and sold back to this supplier as well as to other customers. The Company can, and does, purchase raw materials from other suppliers. Pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force, (“EITF”) No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal Versus Net as an Agent,” the Company recorded sales to, and purchases from, this supplier 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, 2007, the Company purchased raw materials from this supplier totaling approximately $10,714, and sold finished goods to this supplier totaling approximately $1,054. For the years ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the Company purchased raw materials from two suppliers, which were manufactured into finished goods and sold back to these suppliers totaling approximately $10,608 and $9,251, respectively, and sold finished goods to such suppliers totaling approximately $6,110, and $17,414, respectively. These purchase and sales transactions are recorded at fair value in accordance with EITF Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty”.

In addition, the Company is party to supply agreements with certain pharmaceutical companies under which, in addition to the selling price of the product, the Company receives payments based on sales or profits associated with these products realized by its customer. The Company recognizes revenue related to the initial selling price upon shipment of the products as the selling price is fixed and determinable and no right of return exists. The additional revenue component of these agreements are recognized by the Company at the time its customers record their sales and is based on pre-defined formulas contained in the agreements. Receivables related to this revenue of $594 and $620 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, are included in “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Sales Returns and Allowances
At the time of sale, the Company simultaneously records estimates for various costs, which reduce product sales. These costs include estimates of chargebacks and other sales allowances. In addition, the Company records allowances for rebates, including Medicaid rebates and shelf-stock adjustments when the conditions are appropriate. Estimates for sales allowances such as chargebacks are based on a variety of factors including actual return experience of that product or similar products, rebate arrangements for each product, and estimated sales by our wholesale customers to other third parties who have contracts with the Company. Actual experience associated with any of these items may be different than the Company’s estimates. The Company regularly reviews the factors that influence its estimates and, if necessary, makes adjustments when it believes that actual product returns, credits and other allowances may differ from established reserves.

Sales Incentives
In accordance with the terms and conditions of an agreement entered into during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, the Company has offered a sales incentive to one of its customers in the form of an incentive volume price adjustment. The Company accounts for sales incentives in accordance with EITF 01-9, "Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer (Including a Reseller of Vendor's Products)" (“EITF 01-9”). The terms of this volume based sales incentive required the customer to purchase a minimum quantity of the Company's products during a specified period of time. The incentive offered was based upon a fixed dollar amount per unit sold to the customer. The Company made an estimate of the ultimate amount of the incentive the customer would earn based upon past history with the customer and other facts and circumstances. The Company had the ability to estimate this volume incentive price adjustment, as there did not exist a relatively long period of time for the particular adjustment to be earned. Any change in the estimated amount of the volume incentive was recognized immediately using a cumulative catch-up adjustment. In accordance with EITF 01-9, the Company recorded the provision for this sales incentive when the related revenue is recognized. The Company's sales incentive liability may prove to be inaccurate, in which case the Company may have understated or overstated the provision required for these arrangements. Therefore, although the Company makes its best estimate of its sales incentive liability, many factors, including significant unanticipated changes in the purchasing volume of its customer, could have significant impact on the Company's liability for sales incentives and the Company's reported operating results. The specific terms of this agreement which related to sales incentives expired in October 2006. For the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company recognized previously deferred sales incentive revenue of $3,399 related to this agreement.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share (“EPS”) of common stock is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the amount of net income (loss) 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. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method Under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share,” during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006, in periods when there was net income and Series K preferred stock was outstanding, the Company used the Two-Class Method to calculate the effect of the participating Series K on the calculation of basic EPS and the if-converted method was used to calculate the effect of the participating Series K on diluted EPS. In periods when there was a net loss, the effect of the participating Series K was excluded from both basic and diluted EPS. Additionally, in May 2006, the Series K preferred stock was converted into the Company’s common stock; therefore the use of the Two-Class Method is not required for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time the Company maintains cash balances in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.

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 recorded 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 operations.

Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of their useful lives or the terms of the respective leases.

Capitalization of Interest and Other Costs
The Company capitalizes interest on borrowings and certain other direct costs during the active construction period of major capital projects. Capitalized costs are added to the cost of the underlying assets and will be depreciated over the useful lives of the assets. In connection with its capital improvements to the Brookhaven, NY facility, the Company capitalized approximately $907, including interest approximating $517, during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. The Company did not incur any interest on borrowings related major capital projects for the year ended June 30, 2007.

Comprehensive (Loss) Income
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 130, “Reporting Comprehensive Income,” the Company reports comprehensive (loss) income in addition to net (loss) income. Comprehensive (loss) 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 (loss) income.

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. These estimates are often based on judgements, probabilities, and assumptions that management believe are reasonable, but that are not inherently uncertain and unpredictable. As a result, actual results could differ from those estimates. Management periodically evaluates estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for continued reasonableness. Appropriate adjustments, if any, to the estimates used are made prospectively based on such periodic evaluations.

Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivative instruments on a limited basis, principally to manage its exposure to changes in interest rates. Derivative instruments are recorded at their fair value on the balance sheet, while changes in the fair value of the instrument are included in other comprehensive income (loss).

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 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 Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated income tax return. The Company’s management assesses realization of its deferred tax assets based on all available evidence in order to conclude whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Available evidence considered by the Company includes, but is not limited to, the Company’s historic operation results, projected future operating earnings results, reversing temporary differences and changing business circumstances. When there is a change in circumstances that cause a change in judgement about the realizability of the deferred tax assets, the Company may adjust all or a portion of the applicable valuation allowance in the period when such change occurs. Management evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and the need for additional valuation allowances quarterly.

Shipping Costs
The Company’s shipping and handling costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended June 30, 2007, 2006 and 2005, shipping and handling costs approximated $827, $668, and $434, respectively.

Research and Development
Pursuant to SFAS No. 2 “Accounting for Research and Development Costs,” research and development costs are expensed as incurred or at the date payment of non-refundable amounts become due, whichever occurs first. Research and development costs, which consist of salaries and related costs of research and development personnel, fees paid to consultants and outside service providers, raw materials used specifically in the development of its new products and bioequivalence studies. Pre-approved milestone payments due under contract research and development arrangements are expensed when the milestone is achieved.

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. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are disclosed in Note 15. 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 approximate their recorded value.

Reclassification
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2006 financial statements to conform to the 2007 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on previously reported operations.

The Company reclassified certain components of stockholders’ equity section to reflect the elimination of deferred compensation arising from unvested share-based compensation pursuant to the requirements of Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, regarding Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.” This deferred compensation was previously recorded as an increase to additional paid-in capital with a corresponding reduction to stockholders’ equity for such deferred compensation. This reclassification has no effect on net income or total stockholders’ equity as previously reported. The Company will record an increase to additional paid-in capital as the share-based payments vest.

Stock Based Compensation
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (Revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. As a result, the Company’s net income before taxes for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $1,070 and $1,195 lower than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB No. 25”). 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements  
In November 2006, The Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a final consensus in EITF Issue 06-6 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification (or Exchange) of Convertible Debt Instruments” (“EITF 06-6”).  EITF 06-6 addresses the modification of a convertible debt instrument that changes the fair value of an embedded conversion option and the subsequent recognition of interest expense for the associated debt instrument when the modification does not result in a debt extinguishment pursuant to EITF 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments,”.  The consensus should be applied to modifications or exchanges of debt instruments occurring in interim or annual periods beginning after November 29, 2006.  The adoption of EITF 06-6 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In November 2006, The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ratified EITF Issue No. 06-7, “Issuer’s Accounting for a Previously Bifurcated Conversion Option in a Convertible Debt Instrument When the Conversion Option No Longer Meets the Bifurcation Criteria in FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“EITF 06-7”). At the time of issuance, an embedded conversion option in a convertible debt instrument may be required to be bifurcated from the debt instrument and accounted for separately by the issuer as a derivative under of Financial Accounting Standards (“FAS”) 133, based on the application of EITF 00-19. Subsequent to the issuance of the convertible debt, facts may change and cause the embedded conversion option to no longer meet the conditions for separate accounting as a derivative instrument, such as when the bifurcated instrument meets the conditions of Issue 00-19 to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Under EITF 06-7, when an embedded conversion option previously accounted for as a derivative under FAS 133 no longer meets the bifurcation criteria under that standard, an issuer shall disclose a description of the principal changes causing the embedded conversion option to no longer require bifurcation under FAS 133 and the amount of the liability for the conversion option reclassified to stockholders’ equity. EITF 06-7 should be applied to all previously bifurcated conversion options in convertible debt instruments that no longer meet the bifurcation criteria in FAS 133 in interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2006, regardless of whether the debt instrument was entered into prior or subsequent to the effective date of EITF 06-7. Earlier application of EITF 06-7 is permitted in periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The adoption of EITF 06-7 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155 ''Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140'' (''SFAS 155''). SFAS 155 clarifies certain issues relating to embedded derivatives and beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The provisions of SFAS 155 are effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of SFAS 155 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”, (“FIN 48”). This interpretation clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS No.109”). Specifically, FIN 48 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 109 by defining a criterion that an individual tax position must meet for any part of the benefit of that position to be recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods of income taxes, as well as the required disclosure and transition. This interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 1 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, continued
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets” (“SFAS 156”), which amends SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities”, with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 permits the choice of the amortization method or the fair value measurement method, with changes in fair value recorded in income, for the subsequent measurement for each class of separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. The statement is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006, with earlier adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this statement will have on the Company's financial position and results of operations.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. It codifies the definitions of fair value included in other authoritative literature; clarifies and, in some cases, expands on the guidance for implementing fair value measurements; and increases the level of disclosure required for fair value measurements. Although SFAS 157 applies to (and amends) the provisions of existing authoritative literature, it does not, of itself, require any new fair value measurements, nor does it establish valuation standards. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. This statement will be effective for the Company's fiscal year beginning July 2008. The Company will evaluate the impact of adopting SFAS 157 but does not expect that it will have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2006, the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 ("SAB 108") which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. SAB 108 became effective in fiscal 2007. Adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements” (“FSP EITF 00-19-2”) which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies.”    Adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-02 is required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company does not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement (“SFAS”) No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS 159”). This Statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The fair value option established by this Statement permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Most of the provisions of this Statement apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to FASB Statement No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. This Statement is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 159 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities. EITF 07-3 provides clarification surrounding the accounting for nonrefundable research and development advance payments, whereby such payments should be recorded as an asset when the advance payment is made and recognized as an expense when the research and development activities are performed. EITF 07-3 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company records these advance payments in accordance with EITF 07-3 and therefore does not have any impact on its consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - Management’s Liquidity Plan

At June 30, 2007 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $18,831 and operating activities used $14,105 of cash for the year then ended. In an effort to meet the Company’s cash requirements and generate positive cash flows from operations management has taken various actions and steps to revise its operating and financial requirements, including:

 
·
Seeking additional financing from our existing shareholders and other strategic investors, including $8,000 raised in November 2007 (see Note 18 - Subsequent Events)
 
·
Reducing headcount to an efficient level while still carrying out the Company’s future growth plan
 
·
Increasing revenue through the launch of new products, identifying new customers and expanding relationships with existing customers
 
·
Scaling back the Company’s research and development activities to the extent necessary to be able to fund operations and continue to execute the Company’s overall business plan
 
Management believes that the plans and initiatives described above will result in sufficient liquidity to meet cash requirements at least through June 30, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will achieve its cash flow and profitability goals, or that it will be able to raise additional capital sufficient to meet operating expenses or implement its plans. In such event, the Company may have to revise its plans and significantly reduce its operating expenses, which could have an adverse effect on revenue and operations in the short term.

NOTE 3 - Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are comprised of amounts owed to the Company through the sales of its products throughout the United States. These accounts receivable are presented net of allowances for doubtful accounts, sales returns, discounts, rebates and customer chargebacks. Allowances for doubtful accounts were approximately $30 and $101 at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on a review of specifically identified accounts, in addition to an overall aging analysis. Judgments are made with respect to the collectibility of accounts receivable based on historical experience and current economic trends. Actual losses could differ from those estimates. Allowances relating to discounts, rebates, and customer chargebacks were $4,865 and $2,315 at June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. The Company sells some of its products indirectly to various government agencies referred to below as “indirect customers.” The Company enters into agreements with its indirect customers to establish pricing for certain products. The indirect customers then independently select a wholesaler from which to actually purchase the products at these agreed-upon prices. The Company will provide credit to the selected wholesaler for the difference between the agreed-upon price with the indirect customer and the wholesaler’s invoice price if the price sold to the indirect customer is lower than the direct price to the wholesaler. This credit is called a chargeback. The provision for chargebacks is based on expected sell-through levels by the Company’s wholesale customers to the indirect customers, and estimated wholesaler inventory levels. As sales to the large wholesale customers increase, the reserve for chargebacks will also generally increase. However, the size of the increase depends on the product mix. The Company continually monitors the reserve for chargebacks and makes adjustments to the reserve as deemed necessary. Actual chargebacks may differ from estimated reserves.

The changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts are summarized as follows:

A summary of the outstanding long-term debt is as follows:

On February 9, 2006, the Company entered into a four-year financing arrangement with Wells Fargo Business Credit (“WFBC”). This financing agreement provided a maximum credit facility of $41,500 comprised of:
· $22,500 revolving credit facility
· $12,000 real estate term loan
· $ 3,500 machinery and equipment (“M&E”) term loan
· $ 3,500 additional / future capital expenditure facility

The funds made available through this facility paid down, in its entirety, the $20,445 owed on the previous credit facility. The WFBC revolving credit facility borrowing base is calculated as (i) 85% of the Company’s eligible accounts receivable plus the lesser of 50% of cost or 85% of the net orderly liquidation value of its eligible inventory. The advances pertaining to inventory are capped at the lesser of 100% of the advance from accounts receivable or $9,000. As of June 30, 2007, the remaining availability under the revolving credit facility was $6,708. The $12,000 loan for the real estate in Brookhaven, NY is payable in equal monthly installments of $67 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. The $3,500 M&E loan is payable in equal monthly installments of $58 plus interest through February 2010 at which time the remaining principal balance is due. With respect to additional capital expenditures, the Company is permitted to borrow 90% of the cost of new equipment purchased to a maximum of $3,500 in borrowings amortized over 60 months. As of June 30, 2007, there is approximately $150 available for additional capital expenditure borrowings.

NOTE 7 - Debt, continued
 
Under the terms of the WFBC agreement, three stockholders, all related to the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors, one of whom is an Executive Vice President, were required to provide limited personal guarantees, as well as pledge securities with a minimum aggregate value of $7,500 as security for a portion of the $22,500 credit facility. The Company was required to raise a minimum of $7,000 through the sale of equity or subordinated debt by June 30, 2006. The shareholders’ pledges of marketable securities would be reduced by WFBC either upon the Company raising capital, net of expenses in excess of $5,000 or achieving certain milestones. As a result of the Company completing the sale of $10,000 of Series B-1 convertible preferred stock in May 2006 (See Note 10), the limited personal guarantees were reduced by $3,670. In September 2006, the Company consummated a $10,000 sale of Series C-1 Convertible preferred stock (see Note 16), which eliminated the balance of the personal pledges of marketable securities of $3,830.

The revolving credit facility and term loans bear interest at a rate of the prime rate less 0.5% or, at the Company’s option, LIBOR plus 250 basis points. At June 30, 2007, the interest rate on this debt was 7.75%. Pursuant to the requirements of the WFBC agreement, the Company has put in place a lock-box arrangement. The Company will incur a fee of 25 basis points per annum on any unused amounts of this credit facility.

The WFBC credit facility is collateralized by substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, the Company is required to comply with certain financial covenants. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to (i) financial reporting obligations, including the submission of its annual audited financial statements for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, and (ii) financial covenants related to minimum net cash flow, maximum allowable leverage ratio, maximum allowable total capital expenditures and unfinanced capital expenditures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (collectively, the “Existing Defaults”). WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults based upon the Company’s consummation and receipt of $8,000 related to the issuance of subordinated debt described in Note 18 - Subsequent Events.

In connection with WFBC credit facility, the Company incurred deferred financing costs of $482, which are being amortized over the term of the WFBC credit facility and are included in Other Assets. Of this amount, $131 and $50 have been recognized as amortization expense for the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
 
With respect to the real estate term loan and the $3,500 M&E loan, the Company entered into interest rate swap contracts (the “swaps”), whereby the Company pays a fixed rate of 7.56% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. The swaps contracts mature in 2010. The swaps are a cash flow hedge (i.e. a hedge against interest rates increasing). As all of the critical terms of the swaps and loans match, they are structured for short-cut accounting under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities’” and by definition, there is no hedge ineffectiveness or a need to reassess effectiveness. Fair value of the interest rate swaps at June 30, 2007 and 2006 was approximately $10 and $98 and is included in Other Assets.

Rents
The Company leases one of its business premises located in Hauppauge, New York, (“Premises”) from an entity owned by three stockholders (“Landlord”) under a noncancelable lease expiring in October 2019. For the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the rent paid in accordance with this lease was $690 and $480.

Under the terms of the lease for the Premises, upon a transfer of a majority of the issued and outstanding voting stock of Interpharm, Inc., which occurred on May 30, 2003, and every three years thereafter, the annual rent may be adjusted to fair market value, as determined by an independent appraiser.
 
In June 2007, the Company executed a Settlement Agreement with the Landlord, whereas, effective May 1, 2006, the Company would pay the Landlord a base rent of $660 annually. The Company recorded an additional $30 to properly account for the increase in base rent through June 30, 2007.

Future annual minimum rental payments under this operating lease are as follows:

Sale of Subsidiary 

On April 25, 2007 the Company completed the sale of its subsidiary, Interpharm Development Private Limited (“IDPL”) located in Ahmedabad, India to an entity partially owned by two officers of the Company for $161. As previously disclosed the Company elected not to move forward with the construction of a research and development facility in Ahmedabad, India. During the quarter ended March 31, 2007 management committed to a plan to dispose of its interest in the entity which was incorporated specifically for the construction project in Ahmedabad. As a result, in accordance with SFAS 144 the Company recorded an impairment charge of $101 in the quarter ended March 31, 2007 to write down the carrying value of the net asset to the selling price. Therefore, no gain or loss on disposal was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2007.

Investment in APR, LLC 

In February and April 2005, the Company purchased 5 Class A membership interests (“Interests”) from each of Cameron Reid (“Reid”), the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and John Lomans (“Lomans”), who has no affiliation with the Company, for an aggregate purchase price of $1,023 (including costs of $23) of APR, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company primarily engaged in the development of complex bulk pharmaceutical products (“APR”). The purchases were made pursuant to separate Class A Membership Interest Purchase Agreements dated February 16, 2005 between the Company and Reid and Lomans (the “Purchase Agreements”). At the time of the purchases, Reid and Lomans owned all of the outstanding Class A membership interests of APR, which had, outstanding, 100 Class A membership interests and 100 Class B membership interests. As a result, the Company owns 10 of the 100 Class A membership Interests outstanding. The two classes of membership interests have different economic and voting rights, and the Class A members have the right to make most operational decisions. The Class B interests are held by one of the Company’s major customers and suppliers.
 
NOTE 8 - Related Party Transactions, continued
 
In accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreements, the Company has granted to Reid and Lomans each a proxy to vote 5 of the Interests owned by the Company on all matters on which the holders of Interests may vote.

The Board of Directors approved the purchases of Interests at a meeting held on February 15, 2005, based on an analysis and advice from an independent investment banking firm. Reid did not participate during the Company’s deliberations on this matter. The Company is accounting for its investment in APR pursuant to the cost method of accounting.

Purchase from APR, LLC
During the year ended June 30, 2007, the Company placed an order valued at $160 for a certain raw material from APR. The Company currently purchases the same raw material from an overseas supplier at a price 37% greater than the price APR is currently willing to offer. The Company believes sourcing the raw material from APR would not only resolve intermittent delays in obtaining this material from overseas but would also improve gross margins on products using the raw material. Supply of this raw material is being coordinated with the Company’s requirement projections for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has advanced $80 to APR in connection with this order.

Separation Agreements

As of September 10, 2007, the Company entered into separation agreements in connection with the termination of employment of Bhupatlal K. Sutaria, the brother of the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Company’s former President, Vimla Sutaria, the wife of the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Jyoti Sutaria, the wife of Bhupatlal K. Sutaria. In connection with his separation agreement, Bhupatlal K. Sutaria received six months of salary aggregating $138, accelerated vesting of 200 stock options and a “cashless” exercise feature with respect to all of his 700 vested options which will expire on December 10, 2007.

In connection with her separation agreement, Jyoti Sutaria received accelerated vesting of 100 stock options and a “cashless” exercise feature with respect to all of her 400 vested options which will expire on December 10, 2007.

In connection with her separation agreement, Vimla Sutaria received accelerated vesting of 88 stock options and a “cashless” exercise feature with respect to all of her 350 vested options which will expire on December 10, 2007.

NOTE 9 - Income Taxes

At June 30, 2007 the Company has remaining Federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) of $32,250 available through 2027. As of June 30, 2007, as a result of changes in New York State tax law, the benefit of the future utilization of State NOLs has been eliminated resulting in deferred state tax expense of $195 in fiscal 2007. Pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding substantial changes in Company ownership, utilization of the Federal NOLs is limited. $31,382 of these NOLs are available in fiscal 2008, and utilization of $868 of these NOLs is limited and becomes available after fiscal 2008. The limitations lapse at the rate of $2,690 per year, through fiscal 2009. As a result of losses incurred in fiscal years 2005, 2006 and 2007, which indicate uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to generate future taxable income, the “more-likely-than-not” standard has not been met and therefore some amount of the Company’s deferred tax asset may not be realized. As such, a valuation allowance of $5,554 decreased the total accumulated net deferred tax asset of $11,529 to $5,975 at June 30, 2007. In addition, at June 30, 2007, the Company has approximately $986 of New York State investment tax credit carry forwards, expiring in various years through 2022. These carry forwards are available to reduce future New York State income tax liabilities. However, the Company has reserved 100% of the investment tax credit carry forward, which the Company does not anticipate utilizing.

In calculating its tax provision for the year ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the Company applied aggregate effective tax rates of approximately 1.4% and (31%), respectively, thereby creating income tax expense of $190 and an income tax benefit of $1,700, respectively, and adjusted its deferred tax assets accordingly.

During the years ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, stock options were exercised which generated approximately $191 and $216 of income tax deductions, respectively, resulting in tax benefits of approximately $65 and $79. The benefits with respect to the June 30, 2006 stock option exercises were credited to additional paid in capital. For the June 30, 2007 stock option exercises, a valuation allowance has been established against the NOL attributable to stock option expense, in accordance with the Company’s adoption of the alternative method of calculating the additional paid in capital pool as defined in SFAS No. 123 (R). When these NOLs are utilized, the valuation allowance will be reversed and additional paid in capital will be credited for the benefit. The Company will receive a benefit when taxes payable is reduced in the future.

NOTE 11 - Series B-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In May 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Tullis-Dickerson Capital Focus III, L.P. (“Tullis”). Under the Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to Tullis, and Tullis agreed to purchase from the Company, for a purchase price of $10,000 (net proceeds of $9,858) an aggregate of 10 shares of a newly designated series of the Company’s preferred stock (“B-1”), together with 2,282 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $1.639 per share. The warrants have a five year term. The Series B-1 Stock and warrants sold to Tullis are convertible and/or exercisable into a total of 8,802 shares of common stock. The B-1 shares are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $1.5338, and have an annual dividend rate of 8.25%, payable quarterly, which can be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or the Company’s common stock. In addition, the B-1 shareholders have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the B-1 shares upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, at a price per preferred share to be calculated on the day immediately preceding the date of a triggering event. A triggering event shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events: (i) failure to cure a conversion failure by delivery of the required number of shares of common stock within ten trading days; (ii) failure to pay any dividends, redemption price, change of control redemption price, or any other amounts when due; (iii) any event of default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC Credit and Security Agreement, under which the oblige of such indebtedness are entitled to and do accelerate the maturity of at least an aggregate of $3,000 in outstanding indebtedness; and (iv) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition in the Series B-1 Transaction Document.

Through June 30, 2007, the Company issued 420 shares of common stock as payment of $697 of previously accrued dividends. At June 30, 2007, the Company had accrued $206 of Series B-1 dividends, which was paid in July 2007 through the issuance of 148 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
With respect to the Company’s accounting for the preferred stock, EITF Topic D-98, paragraph 4, states that Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X requires securities with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer to be recorded outside of permanent equity. As described above, the terms of the Preferred Stock include certain redemption features that may be triggered by events that are not solely within the control of the Company, such as a potential default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC financing arrangement. Accordingly, the Company has classified the B-1 shares as temporary equity and the value ascribed to the B-1 shares upon initial issuance in May 2006 was the amount received in the transaction less the relative fair value ascribed to the warrants and direct costs associated with the transaction. The Company allocated $1,704 of the gross proceeds of the sale of B-1 shares to the warrants based on estimated fair value. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-27 "Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," ("EITF 00-27") the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1,418 to accumulated deficit during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. The non-cash charge measures the difference between the relative fair value of the B-1 shares and the fair market value of the Company's common stock issuable pursuant to the conversion terms on the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the Senior Credit Agreement with respect to the Existing Defaults, as described in Note 7 - Debt, and WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults. The Company does not expect to be in default in the future under its credit facility (the only redemption feature outside of its control), nor does it plan to redeem the Series B-1 preferred stock. As such the Company believes it is not probable that the Series B-1 preferred stock will become redeemable.

Under the terms of this Registration Rights Agreement the Company is subject to penalties (a) if, within 60 days after a request to do so is made by the holders of such preferred stock, the Company does not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of shares of its common stock issuable to such holders upon conversion of the preferred stock, (b) if a registration statement is filed, such registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days after the request is made or (c) if after such a registration is declared effective, after certain grace periods the holders are unable to make sales of its common stock because of a failure to keep the registration statement effective or because of a suspension or delisting of its common stock from the American Stock Exchange or other principal exchange on which its common stock is traded. The penalties will accrue on a daily basis so long as the Company is in default of the Registration Rights Agreement. The maximum amount of a registration delay penalty as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement is 18% of the aggregate purchase price of Tullis’ registrable securities included in the related registration statement. Unpaid registration delay penalties shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full. If the Company fails to get a registration statement effective penalties shall accrue at an amount equal to 1.67% per month of the aggregate purchase price of Tullis’ registrable securities included in the related registration statement. If the effectiveness failure continues for more than 180 days the penalty rate shall increase to 3.33%. In addition, if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement, penalties shall accrue at a rate of 3.33% per month of the aggregate purchase price of the registrable securities included in the related registration. The Company is also subject to penalties if there is a failure to timely deliver to a holder (or credit the holder’s balance with Depository Trust Company if the common stock is to be held in street name) a certificate for shares of our common stock if the holder elects to convert its preferred stock into common stock. Therefore, upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events the Company’s business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and the market price of its common stock would likely decline.

As of June 30, 2007, the Company was in default under the Securities Purchase Agreement due to (A) the failure of the Company to timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (and deliver to Tullis) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007; and (B) the failure of the Company to prevent the suspension of trading of its Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange as a result of (A). Tullis provided the Company with a waiver of these defaults based upon the Company’s consummation and receipt of $8,000 related to the issuance of subordinated debt described in Note 18 - Subsequent Events.

NOTE 12 - Series C-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

On September 11, 2006, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “C-1 Agreement”) with Aisling Capital, L.P. (the “Buyer”). Under the C-1 Agreement, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer agreed to purchase from the Company, for a purchase price of $10,000 (net proceeds of $9,993) an aggregate of 10 shares of a newly designated series of the Company’s preferred stock (“C-1”), together with 2,282 warrants to purchase shares of common stock of the Company with an exercise price of $1.639 per share. The warrants have a five year term. The Series C-1 Stock and warrants sold to the Buyer are convertible and/or exercisable into a total of 8,802 shares of common stock. The C-1 shares are convertible into common shares at a conversion price of $1.5338, and have an annual dividend rate of 8.25%, payable quarterly, which can be paid, at the Company’s option, in cash or the Company’s common stock. In addition, the C-1 shareholders have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the C-1 shares upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, as defined, at a price per preferred share to be calculated on the day immediately preceding the date of a triggering event. A triggering event shall be deemed to have occurred at such time as any of the following events: (i) failure to cure a conversion failure by delivery of the required number of shares of common stock within ten trading days; (ii) failure to pay any dividends, redemption price, change of control redemption price, or any other amounts when due; (iii) any event of default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC Credit and Security Agreement, under which the oblige of such indebtedness are entitled to and do accelerate the maturity of at least an aggregate of $3,000 in outstanding indebtedness; and (iv) breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition in the Series C-1 Transaction Document.

NOTE 12 - Series C-1 Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, continued

Through June 30, 2007, the Company issued 245 shares of common stock as payment of $454 of previously accrued dividends. At June 30, 2007, the Company had accrued $206 of Series C-1 dividends, which was paid in July 2007 through the issuance of 148 shares of the Company’s common stock.
 
With respect to the Company’s accounting for the preferred stock, EITF Topic D-98, paragraph 4, states that Rule 5-02.28 of Regulation S-X requires securities with redemption features that are not solely within the control of the issuer to be recorded outside of permanent equity. As described above, the terms of the Preferred Stock include certain redemption features that may be triggered by events that are not solely within the control of the Company, such as a potential default with respect to any indebtedness, including borrowings under the WFBC financing arrangement. Accordingly, the Company has classified the C-1 shares as temporary equity and the value ascribed to the C-1 shares upon initial issuance in September 2006 was the amount received in the transaction less the relative fair value ascribed to the warrants and direct costs associated with the transaction. The Company allocated $1,641of the gross proceeds of the sale of C-1 shares to the warrants based on estimated fair value. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-27 "Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," ("EITF 00-27") the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $1,094 to Accumulated deficit during the quarter ended September 30, 2006. The non-cash charge measures the difference between the relative fair value of the C-1 shares and the fair market value of the Company's common stock issuable pursuant to the conversion terms on the date of issuance. As of June 30, 2007, the Company had defaulted under the C-1 Agreement with respect to the Existing Defaults, as described in Note 6 - Debt, and WFBC has agreed to waive the Existing Defaults. The Company does not expect to be in default in the future under its credit facility (the only redemption feature outside of its control), nor does it plan to redeem the Series C-1 preferred stock. As such the Company believes it is not probable that the Series C-1 preferred stock will become redeemable.
 
In addition, on September 11, 2006, in connection with the sale of the C-1 shares the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, with the Buyer. Under the terms of this Registration Rights Agreement the Company is subject to penalties (a) if, within 60 days after a request to do so is made by the holders of such preferred stock, the Company does not timely file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement covering the resale of shares of its common stock issuable to such holders upon conversion of the preferred stock, (b) if a registration statement is filed, such registration statement is not declared effective within 180 days after the request is made or (c) if after such a registration is declared effective, after certain grace periods the holders are unable to make sales of its common stock because of a failure to keep the registration statement effective or because of a suspension or delisting of its common stock from the American Stock Exchange or other principal exchange on which its common stock is traded. The penalties will accrue on a daily basis so long as the Company is in default of the Registration Rights Agreement. The maximum amount of a registration delay penalty as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement is 18% of the aggregate purchase price of the Buyers registrable securities included in the related registration statement. Unpaid registration delay penalties shall accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month until paid in full. If the Company fails to get a registration statement effective penalties shall accrue at an amount equal to 1.67% per month of the aggregate purchase price of the Buyers registrable securities included in the related registration statement. If the effectiveness failure continues for more than 180 days the penalty rate shall increase to 3.33%. In addition, if the Company fails to maintain the effectiveness of a registration statement, penalties shall accrue at a rate of 3.33% per month of the aggregate purchase price of the registrable securities included in the related registration. The Company is also subject to penalties if there is a failure to timely deliver to a holder (or credit the holder’s balance with Depository Trust Company if the common stock is to be held in street name) a certificate for shares of our common stock if the holder elects to convert its preferred stock into common stock. Therefore, upon the occurrence of one or more of the foregoing events the Company’s business and financial condition could be materially adversely affected and the market price of its common stock would likely decline.

One condition of the Agreement was to convert all outstanding shares of Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A”) and Series B Convertible Stock (the Series B”) into the Company’s common stock. As such, in June, 2006, the Company filed an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14 (c) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Information Statement”). The Information Statement informs stockholders of actions to approve the amendments to the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company of actions taken and approved in May, 2006, by the holders of (a) voting stock of the Company holding shares entitling such holders to cast more than a majority of the votes entitled to be cast with respect to such actions, (b) a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A and (c) more than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series B, to make all of the Series A and Series B convertible into the Company’s common stock. Another condition of the Agreement required the Company to increase its authorized common shares from 70,000 shares to 150,000 shares.

Originally, each share of Series A was convertible at the option of the holder into shares of common stock at the conversion rate in effect at the time the holder elects to convert. The conversion rate was subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including, among other things, subdivisions or combinations of the Company’s common stock, the payment by the Company of stock dividends on the common stock, and the issuance of shares of common stock for a consideration below an amount calculated under a formula.

On July 18, 2006, the Company filed an amendment to its Article of Incorporation which had the effect of (i) automatically converting each outstanding share of the Company’s Series A into two shares of common stock or an aggregate of 8 common shares. A Series A shareholder elected to have his 3 shares canceled. Accordingly, no shares of the Company’s common stock were issued to him as part of this conversion; (ii) eliminating the Series A from the Articles of Incorporation; (iii) automatically converting each of the 2 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series B into one share of common stock, thus issuing 2 common shares; and (iv) eliminating the Series B from the Articles of Incorporation.  These amendments were approved by written consent of a majority of the Company’s outstanding common stock and Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock and by the holder of all of the outstanding Series B Convertible Preferred shares.

In 2003 the Company authorized the satisfaction of loans due to the Company’s then Chief Executive Officer and one of its stockholders, by issuing 5 shares of a Series A-1 cumulative convertible preferred (the Series A-1”). 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 $150,000 in sales or (ii) a merger, consolidation, sale of assets or similar transaction. The holders of shares shall not be entitled to any voting rights and have dissolution rights upon liquidation of $0.682 per share. The Series A-1 shares have a cumulative annual dividend of $0.0341 per share. In November 2006, the Company paid $124 of declared dividends for the period January 2006 through September 2006. As of June 30, 2007 the Company’s Board of Directors had not declared any dividend on the Series A-1 shares for the period October 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007. Such undeclared dividends amounted to $124.

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 Series K Convertible preferred shares (the “K shares”) (entities owned by certain relatives of the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors), in accordance with a defined formula and through May 2006, converted all of the K shares into 43,923 restricted shares of the Company’s common stock The holders of the K shares had demand registration rights with respect to the common stock to be issued upon conversion. As of June 30, 2007 the former Series K stockholders own or control approximately 50,179 shares or 76% of the total shares outstanding of the Company.

Stock Options and Appreciation Rights
In 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. The two option plans are the 1997 Stock Option Plan (“1997 Plan”) and the 2000 Flexible Stock Option Plan (“2000 Plan”). Both plans provide for the issuance of qualified and non-qualified options as those terms are defined by the Internal Revenue Code.

The 1997 Plan provides for the issuance of 6,000 shares of common stock. All options issued, pursuant to the 1997 Plan, cannot have a term greater than ten years. Options granted under this plan vest over periods established in option agreements. As of June 30, 2007, 1,317 options are outstanding under this plan. No additional shares can be granted under this plan.

The 2000 Plan provides for the issuance of 10,000 shares of common stock plus an annual increase, effective on the first day of each calendar year, equal to 10% of the number of outstanding shares of common stock as of the first day of such calendar year, but in no event, more than 20,000 shares in the aggregate. All options issued, pursuant to the 2000 Plan, cannot have a term greater than ten years. Options granted under the 2000 Plan vest over periods established in option agreements. As of June 30, 2007, the 2000 Plan provides for the issuance of 20,000 shares of common stock. As of that date, 10,613 options are outstanding under this plan.

The Company recognized approximately $13 in income in connection with 100 previously issued stock appreciation rights (“SARs”). The SARs must be exercised between July 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. The SARs are recorded at fair value and are marked to market at each reporting period. As of June 30, 2007, the total liability related to the SARs is $46;

(a) Includes 4,854 options repriced at June 30, 2005

For all of the Company’s stock-based compensation plans, the fair value of each grant was estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Black-Scholes utilizes assumptions related to volatility, the risk-free interest rate, the dividend yield (which is assumed to be zero, as the Company has not paid any cash dividends) and employee exercise behavior. Expected volatilities utilized in the model are based mainly on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price and other factors. The risk-free interest rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect in the period of grant. The model incorporates exercise assumptions based on an analysis of historical data. The Company does not have a reasonable basis for estimating stock option forfeitures, so it assumes zero forfeitures in estimating the financial impact of granting options to purchase its common stock. The expected life of the fiscal 2007 grants is derived from historical and other factors. As a policy, the Company issues shares for exercised options upon receipt of the required funds, as stated in the Stock Option Agreement, and a properly executed intent-to-exercise form.

For the year ended June 30, 2007, the fair values of Company common stock options granted to employees were estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (1) expected volatility ranging from 65% to 85% (2) risk-free interest rate ranging from 4.21% to 4.85% (3) Weighted-average volatility of 79% and (4) expected average lives ranging from 1.2 to 7.6 years.

The total unearned compensation cost of $1,767 for the total nonvested options as of June 30, 2007 of 2,401 will be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.88 years.

NOTE 14 - 401K Plan
 
In January 2006, the Company initiated a pre-tax savings plan covering substantially all employees, which qualifies under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the plan, eligible employees may contribute a portion of their pre-tax salary, subject to certain limitations. The Company contributes and matches 100% of the employee pre-tax contributions, up to 3% of the employee’s compensation plus 50% of pre-tax contributions that exceed 3% of compensation, but not to exceed 5% of compensation. The Company may also make profit-sharing contributions in its discretion which would be allocated among all eligible employees, whether or not they make contributions. Company contributions were approximately $317 for the year ended June 30, 2007.

NOTE 15 - Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Proceedings
An action was commenced on June 1, 2006, by Ray Vuono (“Vuono”) in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 13985/06).  The action alleged that plaintiff was owed an amount exceeding $10,000 in unpaid “finder’s fees” under an advisory agreement between plaintiff and Atec Group, Inc.

By motion dated July 26, 2006, the Company moved to dismiss Vuono’s complaint in its entirety.  Vuono cross-moved to disqualify the Company's counsel due to an alleged conflict of interest.  By recent decision and order dated March 29, 2007, the Court dismissed Vuono’s claims as they pertain to any fees claimed by Vuono related to a reverse merger of Interpharm, Inc. and the Company and declined to dismiss other claims.  The dismissed claims represent approximately $7,000 of the total of $10,000 claimed by Vuono.  The Court deferred its decision on Vuono’s motion to disqualify counsel, and held a hearing on the matter on September 24, 2007. A final decision on the motion to disqualify is not expected until early 2008. The action, including all discovery, is stayed pending the Court’s decision. 

The Company will continue to vigorously defend the action.

In November 2006, a former employee commenced an action against us in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of Suffolk (Index No. 06/31481).  As of October 15, 2007, the action was voluntarily dismissed with prejudice, and without costs, expenses, or fees to either party. The complaint alleged violations of the New York State Human Rights Law and other unidentified rules, regulations, statutes and ordinances.

In May 2007, a former employee commenced an action against the Company with the New York State Division of Human Rights.  The complaint against the Company alleges claims of race discrimination. The total sought by the former employee in the action is unspecified.  The Company believes that the claims are without merit and the Company is vigorously defending the action.  Currently, the Company cannot predict with certainty the outcome of this litigation.

On October 8, 2007, Leiner Health Products LLC and the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release (“Settlement”) in connection with an October 2005 manufacturing and supply agreement for ibuprofen tablets. As part of the Settlement, Leiner executed a Promissory Note for the amount it owed the Company. On October 12, 2007, the Company notified Leiner that one lot of this product was subject to a voluntary recall. Leiner has subsequently threatened to hold any additional payments under the Settlement until they receive reasonable assurances from the Company that the additional lots in their possession would not be subject to the recall as well. If all lots were recalled, Leiner would be entitled to a reimbursement by the Company of approximately $256. However, the Company does not believe any further lots will be recalled.

From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation arising in the normal course of its business operations. In the opinion of management, it is not anticipated that the settlement or resolution of any
such matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

NOTE 18 - Subsequent Events

On October 26, 2007, the Company and Wells Fargo Business Credit finalized a Forbearance Agreement that terminates on December 31, 2007, which was subsequently amended on November 12, 2007.

On November 7, 2007 and November 14, 2007, as required by the Forbearance Agreement, the Company received a total of $8,000 in gross proceeds from the issuance and sale of subordinated debt.

On November 7, 2007, Dr. Maganlal K. Sutaria, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, and Vimla M. Sutaria, his wife, loaned $3,000 to the Company pursuant to a Junior Subordinated Secured 12% Promissory Note due 2010 (the “Sutaria Note”). Interest of 12% per annum on the Sutaria Note is payable quarterly in arrears, and for the first 12 months of the note’s term, may be paid in cash, or additional notes (“PIK Notes”), at the option of the Company. Thereafter, the Company is required to pay at least 8% interest in cash, and the balance, at its option, in cash or PIK Notes.

Repayment of the Sutaria Notes is secured by liens on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the Sutaria Notes are subordinated to the liens held by WFBC and the holders of the STAR Notes described below.

On November 14, 2007, the Company issued and sold an aggregate of $5,000 of Secured 12% Promissory Notes Due 2009 (the “STAR Notes”) in the following amounts to the following parties:

Interest of 12% per annum on the STAR Notes is payable quarterly in arrears, and may be paid, at the option of the Company, in cash or PIK Notes. Upon the Company obtaining stockholder approval and ratification of the issuance of the STAR Note financing and making the necessary filings with the SEC in connection therewith (the “Stockholder Approval”), which is to occur no earlier than January 18, 2008 and no later than the later of February 28, 2008 or such later date as may be necessary to address SEC comments on the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C, the STAR Notes shall be exchanged for:
 
 
·
Secured Convertible 12% Promissory Notes due 2009 (the “Convertible Notes”) in the original principal amount equal to the principal and accrued interest on the STAR Notes through the date of exchange. The conversion price of the Convertible Notes is to be $0.95 per share and interest is to be payable quarterly, in arrears, in either cash or PIK Notes, at the option of the Company;

 
·
Warrants to acquire an aggregate of 1,842 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) with an exercise price of $0.95 per share.

Each of the Convertible Notes and Warrants are to have anti-dilution protection with respect to issuances of Common Stock, or common stock equivalents at less than $0.95 per share such that their conversion or exercise price shall be reset to a price equal to 90% of the price at which shares of Common Stock or equivalents are deemed to have been issued.

The repayment of the STAR and Convertible Notes is secured by a second priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s property and real estate. Pursuant to intercreditor agreements, the STAR Note financing liens are subordinate to those of WFBC, but ahead, in priority, of the Sutaria Notes.

Also, upon the Company obtaining the Stockholder Approval, the Series B-1 and Series C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock held by Tullis and Aisling shall be exchangeable for shares of a new Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, which shall be substantially similar to the B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock other than the Conversion price which is to be $0.95 per share instead of $1.5338 per share.

Pursuant to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements for the Company’s Series B-1 and C-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, the consent of Tullis and Aisling was required for the issuance of the Sutaria Notes and for the STAR Note financing. In consideration for that consent, the Company has agreed to exchange 2,282 warrants to purchase Company Common Stock held by each of Tullis and Aisling with an exercise price of $1.639 per share for new warrants with an exercise price of $0.95 per share. In addition, the Major Shareholders have agreed to give Tullis and Aisling tag along rights on certain sales of Company common stock.
