AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 1 - CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Interpharm Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries that are hereafter referred to as (the "Company"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The operating results for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2004. See Note 2, Change of Fiscal Year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Transition Report on Form 10-K for the six month transition period ended June 30, 2003. NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES NATURE OF BUSINESS Interpharm Holdings, Inc. through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc. ("Interpharm, Inc.") is in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic prescription strength and over-the-counter pharmaceutical products for wholesale distribution throughout the United States. The majority of the Company's sales have been derived from sales of Ibuprofen tablets in both over-the-counter and prescription strength. REVERSE MERGER On May 30, 2003, Interpharm, Inc. was acquired by ATEC Group, Inc. ("ATEC"), which simultaneously changed its name to Interpharm Holdings, Inc. In this transaction, ATEC acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Interpharm, Inc. in exchange for both ATEC common stock and Series K Convertible Preferred Stock, which totaled approximately 48% of ATEC's voting securities after the transaction was consummated. ATEC issued to the stockholders of Interpharm, Inc. a total of 6,151,178 shares of common stock and 2,050,393 shares of Series K Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Interpharm, Inc. In addition, Interpharm, Inc. assumed the equity structure of ATEC, which comprised of 9,495,471 shares of common stock, less 624,145 shares of treasury stock and four classes of preferred stock totaling 395,094 shares. CHANGE OF FISCAL YEAR The Company has changed its fiscal year end from December 31 to June 30. A Transition Report on Form 10-K was filed for the six month transition period ended June 30, 2003. -10- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share ("EPS") of common stock is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the amount of earnings for the period available to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period, giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock from the potential exercise of stock options and warrants and conversions of convertible preferred stocks. The effect of the recapitalization of Interpharm, Inc. has been given retroactive application in the earnings per share calculation. The common stock issued and outstanding with respect to the pre-merger ATEC Group, Inc. has been included since the effective date of the reverse merger. The Company has used the two-class method to calculate the effect of the participating Series K Convertible Preferred Stock on the calculation of Basic EPS. The if-converted method has been used to calculate the effect of the participating Series K Convertible Preferred Stock on diluted EPS. USE OF ESTIMATES IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include deferred tax asset valuations and inventory overhead costing estimates. STOCK BASED COMPENSATION At March 31, 2004, the Company had two stock-based employee plans. As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure," which amended SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," the Company has elected to continue to follow the intrinsic value method in accounting for its stock-based employee compensation arrangements as defined by Accounting Principles Board Opinion ("APB") No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Interpretation ("FIN") No. 44, "Accounting for Certain Transactions Involving Stock Compensation", an interpretation of APB No. 25. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in operations, as all options granted under those plans have an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to stock-based employee compensation: -11- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC.

The Company granted 415,000 options during the Quarter ended March 31, 2004. The fair value of the options were $3.70 per share.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 4 - NOTES RECEIVABLE Two notes receivable acquired as part of the reverse merger (Note 2) with an aggregate amount of $1,524,092 were repaid in full during the three months ended September 30, 2003. NOTE 5 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT During November 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire an existing facility of approximately 92,000 square feet on approximately thirty-seven acres in Yaphank, NY. The purchase price for the building and land is $9,250,000, of which $925,000 has been paid as a deposit. The Company anticipates completing the transaction sometime during quarter ending June 30, 2004. NOTE 6 - BANK DEBT The Company had a credit facility agreement with a Bank, which consisted of an advised secured line of credit totaling $5,000,000 and a $2,000,000 non-revolving secured facility for equipment purchases. Borrowings under this credit facility were collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and personally guaranteed by four of the Company's stockholders. In addition, the Company was required to comply with certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding borrowings of $424,847 under the line of credit, which will be repaid under the new credit facility discussed below. On March 29, 2004, the Company obtained a $21 million credit facility from the same Bank. The new credit facility consists of approval of a $7.4 million mortgage loan, which is subject to customary closing conditions, for the purchase of the Company's second manufacturing plan in Yaphank, NY (Note 5). In addition, the credit facility consists of $8.6 of credit lines primarily to acquire new equipment and for renovations, and a $5 million general line of credit. This credit facility replaces the $7 million credit facility discussed above. Details of the new facility are as follows: o The $7,400,000 mortgage loan is to be repaid with 119 monthly installments, based upon an amortization schedule of twenty years, and a balloon payment due in ten years for the balance. o Two advised credit lines aggregating $6,600,000 primarily to acquire new equipment and for renovations of the Company's new Yaphank, NY plant. The balance of the funds accessed through these credit lines will convert to fully amortizing five year term loans. o A $2 million advised non-revolving secured facility for equipment purchases. Each advance cannot exceed 90% of the invoice amount of the new equipment and is convertible into separate notes that fully amortize over 60 months. o The $5,000,000 advised line of credit is primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. This new credit facility will be collaterzlized by substantially all assets of the Company and will no longer require the personal guarantees of four of the Company's stockholders. At the option of the Company, interest will generally be calculated at (i) LIBOR plus 1.5% for 3 to 36 month periods, or (ii) at the Bank's then fixed prime rate. In addition, the Company will be required to comply with certain financial covenants. The Bank will review the new credit facility annually; the next review is scheduled to occur no later than November 30, 2004. The credit lines are terminable by the Bank at any time as to undrawn amounts. -13- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES As part of the reverse merger transaction (Note 2), approximately $7,680,000 of ATEC's Federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") became utilizable by the Company. During the nine month period ended March 31, 2004, stock options were exercised which generated approximately $10,000,000 of additional NOLs (Note 9). Of this amount, approximately $3,700,000 was utilized as a deduction for tax purposes during the nine months ended March 31, 2004, resulting in a cash benefit of $1,219,000. The financial statement tax benefit of the deduction for the exercise of these employee stock options are credited to additional paid-in capital in the period that such tax benefit is recognized for financial statement purposes. At March 31, 2004 the Company has remaining NOLs of approximately $14,000,000 to reduce future taxable income. These losses expire through 2024 and could become subject to substantial limitations pursuant to Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code regarding substantial changes in Company ownership. -14- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC.

PREFERRED STOCKS, At March 31, 2004, the Company had six authorized series of preferred stock; Series A Cumulative Convertible (par value $.10), Series A-1 Cumulative convertible (par value $.01), Series B Convertible (par value $.10), Series C Convertible (par value $1), Series J Convertible (par value -16- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTE 9 - EQUITY SECURITIES PREFERRED STOCKS, CONTINUED $.01) and Series K Convertible (par value $.01) (hereafter referred to as the "A", "A-1", "B", "C", "J" and "K" shares, respectively). The A shares have an annual dividend rate of 10% of the par value, which is cumulative. They are senior to all other series or classes of capital stock. The B shares have a non-cumulative stated annual dividend rate of $1 each and are senior to all but the rights of the A stockholders. The C and J shares have no dividend rights, except as may be authorized at the sole discretion of the Company's Board of Directors. The K shares are entitled to receive dividends to the same extent and in the same amounts as the common stock. The A-1 shares have a cumulative annual dividend of $.0341 per share when and as declared by the Board of Directors. At March 31, 2004, dividends accumulated, but not declared, were approximately $138,000. Each of the A, B, C and K shares has the right to one vote on all matters in which stockholders are entitled to vote. The holders of Series A-1 and J shares shall not be entitled to any voting rights. Each of the A, B, C and A-1 shares carry dissolution rights upon liquidation amounting to $100, $10, $5 and $.682 per share, respectively. The A shares grant the Company the right to redeem such shares at a price of $100 per share. The A, B and C shares may be converted into shares of common stock at an exchange rate of five, five and fifty shares, respectively, for each share of common stock or approximately 7,438 shares. The conversion rights of the J, K and A-1 shares are described below. During the three month period ended September 30, 2003, 105,000 of the J shares, representing all of the issued and outstanding J shares, automatically converted into 105,000 shares of the Company's common stock. These shares were automatically converted pursuant a mandatory conversion provision of J shares which the Company triggered when its common stock had a closing price of five dollars for three consecutive days. The K shares are convertible into shares of common stock, no sooner than May 30, 2004, upon the happening of any of the following events (the "Triggering Events"): (i) the Company is deemed by AMEX to be in compliance with applicable listing standards; (ii) deemed by another exchange to be in compliance with its applicable listing standards in the event the Company's securities are listed on such exchange; or (iii) the Company is no longer listed on AMEX, the NASDAQ National Market or Small Cap Market, or the New York Stock Exchange. Upon the occurrence of any of the above Triggering Events, the K shares become convertible into an aggregate total number of shares of common stock in accordance with a defined formula, which assumes the conversion of the A, B, C and J shares into common stock. The net effect of the conversion feature, which has been deemed to be a contingent event, together with the shares of common stock issued in the reverse merger, would be to issue to Interpharm, Inc. stockholders, common stock totaling approximately 80% of the total number of shares of common stock and voting convertible preferred stock, outstanding as of the date of the Triggering Event, after giving effect to the conversion, less shares of common stock which may be issued between the date of the closing of the reverse merger and the date of the Triggering Event arising out of obligations which arose after the date of closing. -17- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC.

COMMON STOCK AND STOCK OPTIONS During the three months ended September 30, 2003, 2,241,382 options and warrants were exercised generating cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $2,700,000, and resulted in tax deductions allowed for employee stock options approximating $9,000,000. During the three months ended December 31, 2003, 8,750 options were exercised on a cashless basis resulting in a net stock issuance of 4,927 shares. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, 1,259,578 options were exercised generating cash proceeds to the Company of approximately $800,000, and resulted in additional tax deductions of approximately $1,000,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2004, the Company issued an aggregate of 415,000 options to four employees. Vesting is 20% on each December 31, 2004 through 2008, with an exercise price of $4.41.

At March 31, 2004 and 2003, amounts due to these suppliers included in accounts payable, were approximately $3,095,000 and $2,348,000 respectively. NOTE 11 - CONTINGENCIES 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. -19- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OVERVIEW Interpharm Holdings, Inc. ("Interpharm," "we," or "us"), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Interpharm, Inc., is engaged in the business of developing, manufacturing and marketing generic over-the-counter and prescription strength pharmaceutical products. We make sales both under our own label and to wholesalers and distributors which sell our products under their labels. We market our products primarily to wholesalers, drug distributors, repackagers, and other manufacturers through our internal sales staff as well as independent sales representatives. Some of our wholesalers and distributors purchase products that are warehoused for drug chains, independent pharmacies, state and federal governmental agencies and managed healthcare organizations. Sales are recognized when the product is shipped and appropriate provisions are made for returns. Our operating results for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 reflect our continuing expansion plan, including continuing investments in increasing our production capacity and our pursuit of strategic alliances. Presented below are some of our financial highlights for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004, as compared to the same periods in 2003: Three-Months Ended March 31, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------------------ ---------------------- (Unaudited) (Unaudited) ------------------------ ---------------------- Revenue Increased 57% $11,308,000 $7,191,000 Gross Profit Increased 106% $2,815,000 $1,366,000 Operating Income Increased 93% $1,551,000 $802,000 Net Income Increased 105% $984,000 $481,000 Nine-Months Ended March 31, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2004 2003 ------------------------ ----------------------- (Unaudited) (Unaudited) ------------------------ ----------------------- Revenue Increased 51% $29,890,000 $19,760,000 Gross Profit Increased 88% $6,865,000 $3,650,000 Operating Income Increased 122% $3,482,000 $1,571,000 Net Income Increased 143% $2,235,000 $920,000 We believe that a key component of our growth has been, and, will continue to be, our commitment to capital investment to increase production capacity. During the calendar year 2002, and the six-month period ended June 30, 2003, we acquired approximately $1,200,000 and approximately $1,000,000, respectively, of new machinery and equipment. In addition, during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004, we invested approximately $2,200,000 in new equipment. -20- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES We anticipate closing the purchase of an approximately 100,000 square foot facility in Yaphank, New York, which has been disclosed in previous filings, during quarter ending June 30, 2004. Once we close on the building and FDA approval is obtained, this facility will double our current available space of approximately 100,000 square feet and provide us with sufficient additional acreage for potential further expansion of our production facilities in the future. Until we obtain FDA approval for manufacturing at the Yaphank facility, which we believe should occur in calendar 2005, we may opt to use the new facility for warehousing and other activities, which would enable us to free up space for additional manufacturing in our current plant. We have obtained $7.4 million in financing for the purchase of the Yaphank facility as part of a $21 million new credit facility which is also comprised of three credit lines aggrgating $8.6 million, primarily to acquire new equipment or for renovations, and a $5.0 million credit line primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. (See Note 6) At our option, interest will be calculated (i) at LIBOR plus 1.5% for 3,6,9,12,24,or 36 months, or (ii) at the lendor's then fixed prime rate. In order to exploit our primary strength in efficient and cost effective manufacturing, we continue to pursue new strategic alliances. In addition, we have budgeted over $1.7 million for research and development through December 31, 2004 with the goal of increasing our pipeline of drugs in various stages of development by seven to nine in that period. We currently have seven drugs in various stages of development. In addition, in March, 2004, we obtained FDA approval for an Abbreviated New Drug Application for Hydrocodone Bitartrate and Ibuprofen Tablets, 5 mg/200 mg. -21- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2004, COMPARED TO MARCH 31, 2003. REVENUES Net sales for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 were $11,308,000 compared to $7,191,000 for the three-months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $4,117,000. This increase was primarily attributable to sales of Atenolol, Allopurinol and Naproxen, which totaled approximately $4,025,000 during the quarter. During the same period last year we did not produce Atenolol or Allopurinol, and Naproxen sales were approximately $265,000. Net sales for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004 were $29,890,000 compared to $19,760,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 2003, an increase of $10,130,000. This increase was primarily attributable to sales of Atenolol, Allopurinol and Naproxen which totaled approximately $11,400,000. During the same period last year we did not produce Atenolol or Allopurinol, and Naproxen sales were approximately $750,000. Sales of drugs other than Atenolol, Allopurinol and Naproxen decreased by approximately $500,000 during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004 due to management's decision to temporarily reassign available manufacturing capacity to higher margin products. Our increase in net sales and corresponding increases in production were made possible by approximately $4,400,000 in purchases of new equipment since January, 2002. We plan to continue our investment in new equipment in order to meet increasing demand for our existing products and to facilitate the manufacturing of new products under development. During the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004, we did not experience returns of material quantities of any of the products we sell. Therefore, we do not believe that we are subject to a material risk attributable to returns. COST OF SALES Raw material prices have remained relatively constant during the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 when compared to the same periods in 2003. We have continued to increase our labor force to accommodate both our current growth and our projected future growth. The FDA regulates most aspects of our manufacturing processes. Therefore, we provide extensive training to all of our employees, which results in a three month lag between the hiring of a new employee and when he or she can be fully incorporated into our production process. Our gross profit percentages for the three and nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 were 24.9% and 23.0%, respectively. This represents an increase of 5.9 and 4.5 percentage points, respectively, from the same periods in 2003. Our increasing margins are primarily the result of the production of higher margin products through the diversification of our product line as well as increased manufacturing efficiency. We believe that, subject to raw material costs and other market conditions, as to which there can be no assurance, gross profit should continue to remain higher than in previous reporting periods. -22- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES Selling, general and administrative expenses include salaries and related costs, commissions, travel, facilities, communications costs and promotional expenses for the Company's direct sales and marketing staff, administrative and executive salaries and related benefits, legal, accounting and other professional fees as well as general corporate overhead. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased approximately $663,000 to approximately $1,166,000, or 10.3% of net sales during the three-months ended March 31, 2004, from approximately $503,000, or 7.0% of net sales, during the same period in 2003. The significant components of this increase are: salaries, including payroll taxes and benefits ($271,000); selling commissions ($168,000), insurance ($25,000), legal, accounting and professional fees ($32,000); rent ($24,000) and listing and transfer agent fees ($45,000). The increase in salaries, payroll taxes, benefits, insurance, legal, accounting and professional fees and listing and transfer agent fees is primarily attributable to our recent expansion and status as a public company. The increase in selling commissions is primarily attributable to our increased sales. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004 were $3,060,000, or 10.2% of sales, an increase of $1,346,000 when compared to $1,714,000, or 8.7% of sales for the nine-months ended March 31, 2003. The significant components of this increase are: salaries, including payroll taxes and benefits ($725,000); selling commissions ($257,000), insurance ($68,000), freight ($64,000); depreciation ($34,000); listing and transfer agent fees ($59,000); data processing ($30,000); and utilities ($31,000). The increase in the foregoing expenses is consistent with our overall growth, increase in sales and status as a public company. INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004 was 36% compared to 32% for the nine-months ended March 31, 2003. The tax provision for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004 has resulted in a $1,219,000 increase in additional paid-in capital due to the utilization of deductions from stock options exercised during the period. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES We currently finance our operations and capital expenditures through cash flows from operations, bank loans, lines of credit, cash acquired in our reverse merger in May, 2003 and cash received from the exercises of stock options. Net cash used in operating activities for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004 was $456,000, as compared to $255,000 for net cash provided by operating activities for the same period last year. When comparing the nine-month periods ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, our net income increased by $1,315,000. This increase in net -23- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES income was offset by significant changes in our balance sheet; both accounts receivable and inventories increased $2,979,000 and $1,478,000, respectively during the nine-month period ended March 31, 2004. The increase in inventory is necessary in order to fulfill increased demand for our products. Our accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities increased by $183,000. During the nine-months ended March 31, 2004, we were able to pay down bank loans aggregating $462,000 and bank lines of credit by $1,640,000. As discussed in Note 6, we recently secured a $21,000,000 credit facility consisting of: o The $7,400,000 mortgage loan is to be repaid with 119 monthly installments, based upon an amortization schedule of twenty years, and a balloon payment due in ten years for the balance. o Two advised credit lines aggregating $6,600,000 primarily to acquire new equipment and for renovations of the Company's new Yaphank, NY plant. The balance of the funds accessed through these credit lines will convert to fully amortizing fie year term loans. o A $2 million advised non-revolving secured facility for equipment purchases. Each advance cannot exceed 90% of the invoice amount of the new equipment and is convertible into separate notes that fully amortize over 60 months. o The $5,000,000 advised line of credit is primarily for working capital and general corporate purposes. This new cr4edit facility will be collateralized by substantially all assets of the Company and will no longer require the personal guarantees of four of the Company's stockholders. At the option of the Company, interest will generally be calculated at (i) LIBOR plus 1.5% for 3 to 36 months periods, or (ii) at the Bank's then fixed prime rate. In addition, the Company will be required to comply with certain financial covenants. The Bank will review the new credit facility annually; the next review is scheduled to occur no later than November 30, 2004. The credit lines are terminable by the Bank at any time as to undrawn amounts. Net cash used in investing activities was $1,580,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004, which is as a result of increases in fixed assets of $2,199,000 and, a security deposit for a new facility of $925,000 in Yaphank, New York, offset by the collection of $1,524,000 of notes receivable from the reverse merger, and the sale of property and equipment of $19,000. Net cash provided by financing activities was $1,470,000 for the nine-months ended March 31, 2004, which resulted from the receipt of $3,508,000 from option exercises and $64,000 of additional cash received after the reverse merger transaction, less repayment of various bank lines of approximately $2,102,000. As of March 31, 2004, the amount outstanding on these credit lines was $425,000. As a result of our cash flows from operations and financing activities during the nine-months ended March 31, 2004, working capital increased $4,800,000 to $10,300,000 from $5,500,000 at June 30, 2003. We believe the financing arrangements described above, our increased working capital, funds generated from operations and cash provided by option exercises will allow us to continue our expansion plans and will be sufficient to continue meet our operating requirements. We may nevertheless, choose to raise additional funds or seek other financing arrangements to facilitate more rapid expansion, to develop new products at a faster pace, or to acquire or invest in complimentary businesses, technologies, services or products. At March 31, 2004, we had approximately $14,000,000 in Federal net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") available to reduce future taxable income. These NOLs could result in savings of approximately $4,900,000 in future income tax payments (although there will be no corresponding benefit on income tax expenses). -24- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE Our accounts receivable at March 31, 2004 was $7,909,000 compared to $4,930,000 as at June 30, 2003. This increase is primarily attributable to increased sales volume. The quality of our accounts receivable are such that we have encountered little or no bad debt exposure. INVENTORY At March 31, 2004, our inventory was $6,062,000, an increase of $1,479,000 from $4,583,000 at June 30, 2003. Our inventory turnover of 5.7 annualized turns decreased slightly when compared to December 31, 2003 - 5.8 average turns and 6.1 at June, 2003. We believe this to be within acceptable limits to our expansion plan. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE The accounts and accrued expenses payable increased slightly by approximately $183,000 during the nine months ended March 31, 2004 as compared to June 30, 2003. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $565,000 from $2,336,000 at June 30, 2003 to $1,771,000 at March 31, 2004. During the nine-months ended March 31, 2004, we funded our operations primarily from two sources: (i) collection of $1,524,000 of notes receivable associated with the reverse merger and (ii) through the collection of approximately $3,508,000 from the exercise of stock options. These inflows were offset by: (i) net cash used in operating activities of $465,000, consisting of net income of $2,235,000, offset by net funds used in operating activities of $2,700,000; (ii) acquisition of new packaging equipment and other fixed assets aggregating $2,199,000; (iii) the deposit on a new facility of $925,000; and (iv) repayment of various bank lines of credit and bank notes payable totaling approximately $2,102,000. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires that Interpharm make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an on-going basis, Interpharm evaluates judgments and estimates made, including those related to revenue recognition, inventories, income taxes and contingencies including litigation. Interpharm bases its judgments and estimates on historical experience and on various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. -25- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES We consider the following accounting policies to be most critical in understanding the more complex judgments that are involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could impact results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. REVENUE RECOGNITION Revenues from the sale of our products are recognized upon shipment of the product. Revenues are recorded net of provisions for rebates, charge-backs, discounts and returns, which are established at the time of sale. Estimates for rebates, charge-backs, and discounts are calculated based on actual experience and also cover chargebacks on sales to intermediary wholesale prime vendors for the supply of Ibuprofen to the Department of Veterans Affairs. We purchase raw materials from suppliers, which is then used in the manufacturing of completed goods and sold back to the suppliers or by direct drop shipment to the supplier's customers. The raw materials are also used in the manufacturing of products for other customers. We also (i) have the general inventory risk by taking title to all of the raw material purchased, (ii) establish the selling price for the finished product and, (iii) significantly change the raw materials into the finished product under our specifications and formulas. These factors among others, qualify us as the principal under the indicators set forth in EITF 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal vs. Net as an Agent. If the terms and substance of the arrangement change, such that we no longer qualify to report these transactions on a gross reporting basis, our net income and cash flows would not be affected. However, our sales and cost of sales would both be reduced by a similar amount. INVENTORY Our inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market, determined on a first-in, first -out basis, and includes the cost of raw materials and manufacturing. We continually evaluate the carrying value of our inventories and when factors such as expiration dates and spoilage indicate that impairment has occurred, either a reserve is established against the inventories' carrying value or the inventories are disposed of and completely written off in the period incurred. ISSUES 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. -26- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 3 - QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We do not use any derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to adverse fluctuations in interest rates, fluctuations in commodity prices or other market risks, nor do we invest in speculative financial instruments. Borrowings under our lines of credit are indexed to the prime rate. Due to the nature of our borrowings and short-term investments, we have concluded that there is no material risk exposure. ITEM 4 - 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 March 31, 2004, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and our Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting them in a timely manner to information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in this report, except with respect to inventory costing and segregation of duties within our accounting department. Management has, and continues to assess the nature of the additional controls, systems and procedures to improve reporting and information with respect to inventory and to implement additional controls within our accounting department. Management has devoted additional resources to assure that inventory has been properly costed and to mitigate the risks of a lack of segregation of duties in the accounting department. As a result Management believes that our financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2004 are fairly presented in all material respects. -27- INTERPHARM HOLDINGS, INC.
