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, which forms the
basis of the Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler, to what is now Pharmacia & Upjohn,
Inc. ("Pharmacia & Upjohn")in exchange for product payments. For European
sales, the product payment is 3% of Pharmacia & Upjohn's net sales to
pharmacy distributors. For the U.S., Pharmacia & Upjohn is paying 9.9% of
net sales to McNeil Consumer Products, a Johnson & Johnson Company, who then
markets the Nicotrol Inhaler to pharmacies. Product payments are 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 limitations in the event of the
sale of a nicotine vapor product competitive with the Nicorette/Nicotrol
Inhaler. 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.
In the U.S., the Nicotrol Inhaler is currently available as a prescription
product in the Houston, Baltimore and Washington, DC, areas. ATP expects
profits to substantially increase for the quarter ending June 30, 1998, as
McNeil prepares for the U.S. nationwide launch of the Nicotrol Inhaler later
this year since the U.S. represents approximately 50% of the world nicotine
replacement therapy ("NRT") market.
Launched in Europe in late 1996 as the Nicorette Inhaler, the product is
available in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands,
Sweden and the United Kingdom, primarily as an over-the-counter product.
The Nicorette/Nicotrol 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 Nicorette/Nicotrol 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 Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler provides about 30% of the nicotine a smoker
gets from cigarettes but does not contain any of the harmful substances like
tar and carbon monoxide found in tobacco smoke which cause smoking related
diseases like lung cancer. The Nicorette/Nicotrol 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, 1997 and in
1998. 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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash resources, including investments, available on March 31, 1998, were
approximately $1,527,000, as compared to approximately $1,373,000 for
March 31, 1997.
COMPARISON OF SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
Operating revenues for the nine-month period ending March 31, 1998,
increased to $285,541, as compared to $135,200 for the nine month period
ending March 31, 1997. This increase is due to an increase in product
payments from Pharmacia & Upjohn as the Nicorette/Nicotrol Inhaler continues
to be launched in additional markets.
Interest income for the nine-month period ending March 31, 1998, decreased
to $57,438, as compared to $58,308 for the nine-month period ending
March 31, 1997. This decrease is primarily due to minor interest rate
fluctuations.
Net income for the nine-month period ending March 31, 1998, increased to
$238,196, as compared to $78,971 for the nine-month period ending
March 31, 1997. This increase is due to an increase in product payments from
Pharmacia & Upjohn as the Inhaler continues to be launched in additional
markets.
General and administrative expenses for the nine-month period ending
March 31, 1998, decreased to $104,783, as compared to $114,537 for the
nine-month period ending March 31, 1997. This decrease is primarily due to
absence in the first quarter of 1998 of a one-time bonus awarded in the first
quarter of 1997 to a consultant and a Director of the Company.
