NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The condensed financial statements included herein were prepared by the
Company without audit. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements have been omitted. The
condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K as of June 30, 1997.
Item 2: Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In 1987, the Company sold patented nicotine technology and related assets to
what is now Pharmacia & Upjohn, Inc. ("Pharmacia & Upjohn"), a worldwide
pharmaceutical company that manufacturers the Nicorette Chewing/Gum, the
Nicorette/Nicotrol Patch, the Nicorette/Nicotrol Nasal Spray and the
Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler.
Based upon the nicotine technology acquired from the Company, Pharmacia &
Upjohn developed the Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler for use in the nicotine
replacement therapy ("NRT") market. ATP receives product payments of 3% of
sales of the Inhaler to wholesale distributors (see paragraph below).
Pharmacia & Upjohn launched the Inhaler commercially in Denmark in September
1996, in Sweden in December 1996, in Italy in February 1997, in the
Netherlands in July 1997, in Austria in September 1997, and in the United
Kingdom in December 1997, under the trade name Nicorette Inhaler.
Additional worldwide launches are planned by Pharmacia & Upjohn to occur as
regulatory approvals are granted.
The Inhaler was recently approved for sale as a prescription product by the
United States Food and Drug Administration, and the Company anticipates that
the Inhaler will be initially offered in the U.S. in the first half of 1998
as the Nicotrol Inhaler by McNeil Consumer Products, a Johnson & Johnson
company. The U.S. represents approximately 50% of the world NRT market.
The Inhaler is the first and only form of nicotine replacement therapy
designed to help control a smoker's cravings for cigarettes and provide a
key behavioral component of smoking--the hand-to-mouth ritual.
The Inhaler consists of a mouthpiece and a cartridge containing nicotine.
The smoker puffs on the mouthpiece to inhale the nicotine which is then
absorbed through the lining of the mouth. The Inhaler does not contain any
of the harmful substances such as tar and carbon monoxide found in tobacco
smoke which cause smoking related diseases like lung cancer. It provides
about 30% of the nicotine a smoker gets from cigarettes. The Inhaler is
recommended by Pharmacia & Upjohn for smokers who show a high behavioral
dependence and smoke twenty or less cigarettes per day.
In September 1992, the Company obtained an exclusive worldwide license to
certain dry powder nicotine inhaler technology from Duke University. In
February 1993, the Company filed a patent application covering this
technology resulting in the issuance of U.S. patents in 1995 and in 1997.
Additional U.S. and foreign patent applications are pending. The Company
believes that a dry powder nicotine inhaler has the potential to be a future
generation NRT product. The Company is continuing to seek a strategic
partner to develop this technology.
Effective as of October 1993, the Company has an agreement with Pharmacia &
Upjohn under which, among other matters, the Company has the right to
receive a royalty equal to .1% of net revenues received by Pharmacia &
Upjohn from the sale of any product using a nicotine impermeable copolymer
technology covered by, and subsequent to, the issuance of a patent in March
1996. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company now receives royalties
from the sales of the Nicorette/Nicotrol patch by Pharmacia & Upjohn.
The Company has the right to receive royalty payments from Pharmacia &
Upjohn with respect to the Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler of three percent (3%)
of Net Sales (defined generally as sales by Pharmacia & Upjohn and McNeil
Consumer Products to wholesale distributors) payable on a country by country
basis for the greater of 10 years following the date of the first commercial
sales or the expiration of all issued patents (latest patent issued
3/26/96). There are royalty limitations in the event of the sale of
a nicotine vapor product competitive with the Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler.
Royalty payments in excess of $1,000,000 per year are to be reduced by fifty
percent (50%) until the aggregate of such reductions equal the sum of
$4,400,000.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash resources, including investments, available on December 31, 1997, were
approximately $1,404,000, as compared to approximately $1,330,000 for
December 31, 1996.
COMPARISON OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Operating Revenues for the six month period ended December 31, 1997,
increased to $123,156, as compared to $78,200 for the six month period ended
December 31, 1996. This increase is due to an increase in product payments
from Pharmacia & Upjohn as the Inhaler continues to be launched worldwide.
Interest income for the six-month period ended December 31, 1997, decreased
to $38,353, as compared to $40,516 for the six-month period ended December
31, 1996. This decrease is primarily due to minor interest fluctuations.
Net income for the six-month period ended December 31, 1997, increased to
$89,650, as compared to $31,197 for the six-month period ended December 31,
1996. This increase is due to an increase in product payments from Pharmacia
& Upjohn as the Inhaler continues to be launched worldwide.
General and administrative expenses for the six-month period ended December
31, 1997, decreased to $71,859, as compared to $87,519 for the six-month
period ended December 31, 1996. This decrease is primarily due to absence in
the first quarter of 1997 of a one-time bonus awarded in the first quarter of
1996 to a consultant and a Director of the Company.
