PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
GEN/Rx, Inc. ("GEN/Rx" or the "Company"), is a holding company which, through
its subsidiaries, is in the business of developing and distributing
generic injectable drugs. GEN/Rx has three wholly-owned subsidiaries,
AUSA, Inc. ("AUSA"), which develops and markets generic injectable
prescription drug products for human use, American Veterinary Products,
Inc. ("AVP"), which markets prescription and non-prescription generic
injectable drug products for animal use (see "Discontinued Operations" below),
and Collins Laboratories, Inc. ("Collins"), which has been inactive since
its inception. Unless the context requires otherwise, references in this
Annual Report to the "Company" shall be deemed to include collectively GEN/Rx
and all of its subsidiaries.
AVP was incorporated in the state of Colorado in 1976. Following its
acquisition in January 1988, its stock was exchanged for shares of Transmed
Express, Inc. ("Transmed"), a publicly held company, incorporated in New York
State. As a result of this transaction, AVP became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Transmed. In March 1993, the Company's name was changed to GEN/Rx, Inc.
The Company has experienced significant operating losses since its inception,
resulting in a deficit equity position. The Company's financial position and
operating results raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a
going concern. While management intends to dispose of one of its subsidiaries
that has incurred significant operating losses, it does not expect proceeds
from such disposition to be sufficient to fund continuing operations. As a
result, the Company is seeking to obtain additional financing from its majority
shareholder and primary creditor Apotex USA Inc. ("Apotex") during 1996
sufficient to fund its future activities. There is no assurance, however, that
such financing will be secured and obtained. It is unlikely that any other
financing will be available to the Company.
Since the Merger, the Company has been dependent on Apotex for continued
funding of its operating activities. Through December 31, 1995, Apotex has
advanced the Company $3,364,000 pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as amended, and
owes Apotex approximately $447,000 arising from intercompany transactions
including costs incurred for interest on the advances pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, as amended, services performed on behalf of the Company by Apotex
employees and the Company's share of facility costs where Apotex employees
perform services on behalf of the Company.
The Company expects to continue to be dependent on Apotex for financing of its
operations in the foreseeable future.
In light of the Company's continuing operating losses and use of cash, in
February 1996, the Company retained the services of Hill Thompson Capital
Markets, Inc., an investment banking firm, to assist management in its efforts
to identify steps and strategies to reduce losses, generate returns on the
Company's assets and maximize shareholder values. The Company expects Hill
Thompson Capital Markets, Inc. to conclude its evaluation and submit their
recommendations in April 1996.
The Company's executive offices are located at 1776 Broadway Suite 1900, New
York, New York 10019, and its telephone number is (212) 581-5100.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
BUSINESS COMBINATION:
On April 13, 1995, a merger (the "Merger") of GEN/Rx, Inc.'s newly formed
wholly-owned subsidiary, GEN/Rx Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., with and into
AUSA was consummated. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired all the
assets of AUSA, a company engaged in the distribution of injectable drugs. AUSA
was a subsidiary of Apotex USA, Inc. ("Apotex"). As part of the Merger
transaction, the Company issued to Apotex (the former shareholder of AUSA)
13,288,874 shares of its Common Stock and is obligated to issue to Apotex, an
additional 2,064,966 shares as soon as practicable following an amendment to
the Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized
shares of common stock. After issuance of the additional shares, Apotex will
own approximately seventy four (74%) percent of the outstanding Common Stock of
the Company. In addition, warrants to purchase 270,000 shares of common stock
of GEN/Rx for $1.50 per share were issued to various individuals in connection
with the Merger.
Since after issuance of the additional 2,064,966 shares upon amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized
shares, the former shareholders of AUSA will own 74% of GEN/Rx, Inc., the
transaction has been accounted for as if AUSA acquired the net assets of GEN/Rx
for the previously issued and outstanding shares of GEN/Rx. The excess of the
fair value of the previously issued and outstanding stock of GEN/Rx, Inc. over
the fair value of its assets was recorded as goodwill. See "Notes to Financial
Statements-2. Business Combination".
In addition, in connection with the Merger and pursuant to a Loan Agreement
dated April 13, 1995 between the Company and Apotex, Apotex lent the Company
$500,000 represented by a Term Note dated April 13, 1995 and $2,000,000
represented by a revolving line of credit note dated April 13, 1995. See
"Default of Loan Covenants" below. The notes bear interest at 1% over prime and
mature on April 13, 1998. These notes are secured by all of the assets of the
Company. In addition, as additional consideration for the loans, Apotex
received warrants exercisable at $1.00 per share to purchase shares of the
Company's common stock in an amount equal to one share for each dollar advanced
pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The warrants have a term of three years. At
December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $2,500,000 pursuant to this Loan
Agreement.
DEFAULT OF LOAN COVENANTS:
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to
amend the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in
its discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000 original loan
amount, that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they
had been advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested
additional advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000
through December 31, 1995. The Company agreed that failure to repay the
amounts when due would constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The
Company also issued to Apotex a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.004 per share, at an exercise
price of $.75 per share in connection with the amendment. The warrants have a
term of three years.
The Company's failure to pay the amounts due December 22, 1995 constituted an
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, as amended, and Apotex accelerated
the entire amount of indebtedness (approximately $3,500,000) of the Company and
its subsidiaries, which are jointly and severally liable for the debt, by a
letter dated January 2, 1996, which required the Company to turn over to Apotex
all of the collateral on January 5, 1996. At December 31, 1995, the Company
owed Apotex approximately $3,563,000.
Apotex sought and received the appointment of a receiver for AVP's Ft. Collins
plant in a proceeding in Larimer County, Colorado, on January 4, 1996. The
order permits the receiver to exercise control over AVP's bank accounts,
accounts receivable and inventory. As a result of the November 29 letter
amendment to the Loan Agreement and the appointment of a receiver, AVP is not
receiving any cash proceeds. In addition, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as
amended, accounts receivable of AUSA has been assigned to Apotex and
collections thereof are being deposited into the bank accounts of Apotex. The
Company at present lacks the liquidity needed to carry on its business.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
In connection with an inspection of AVP's manufacturing facility from October
1994 through May 1995 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), AVP
received a "warning letter" from the Denver District Office of the FDA setting
forth certain deviations from current good manufacturing practice regulations
("GMP"s) and violations of related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act.
In June 1995, following new management's investigation of the matters set forth
in the warning letter, management suspended the manufacture of products
indefinitely. In December 1995, management decided to discontinue the
operations of AVP, because it determined, that the time and financial
commitment required to rehabilitate AVP's operations would be too great for it
to pursue. In connection with management's decision to discontinue the
operations of AVP, the Company laid-off substantially all of its personnel at
this facility and recorded a provision of $5,646,000 in its 1995 financial
statements. Results of operations of AVP is shown separately as discontinued
operations on the consolidated statement of operations. See "Notes to
Financial Statements-4. Discontinued Operations."
AUSA, INC.
AUSA currently markets 5 generic injectable drug products in 15 package and
dosage configurations as well as a cyanide antidote kit, all of which are
manufactured by unrelated companies. All of AUSA's current products are
distributed under the Yorpharm label, either directly from AUSA to hospitals
and other health care institutions in the United States, or indirectly to the
same customer base through numerous wholesalers across the country.
AUSA's strategy is to offer a broad line of generic injectable prescription
drugs. AUSA may market other products pursuant to distribution agreements or
licensing arrangements. AUSA has and continues to take steps to broaden its
product line by seeking to enter into product development and manufacturing
agreements, joint ventures, licensing and distribution licensing agreements as
well as internal product development efforts. To date, AUSA has not
manufactured any human injectable drugs; however, it has entered into contract
manufacturing arrangements with other companies.
AUSA also is expending considerable efforts in the research and development of
generic injectable products for human use.
SALES AND MARKETING
AUSA's products are sold primarily to wholesalers, hospitals, home infusion
providers, nursing homes, nursing home providers, and health maintenance
organizations through its own sales force, which currently consists of 3
experienced regional account managers and a Director of Sales.
Health care providers have increasingly adopted a bid-based group purchasing
approach under which various institutional purchasers join together in buying
groups to solicit bids from a variety of approved vendors for the supply of
certain products, typically for a one to two-year period. In addition,
hospitals and other institutions have designated certain drug and hospital
supply wholesalers as their "prime vendors". Under this type of arrangement, a
wholesaler serves as a depot for substantially all of a hospital's product
needs, allowing an institution to maintain minimal inventories and receive
overnight deliveries of several manufacturers' goods from a single source.
AUSA has established a Bid and Contract Administration department devoted to
negotiating and administering group purchase organization's (GPO's) and the
wholesalers such contracts and prime vendor relationships.
Three of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 30%, 18% and 10%
of sales from continuing operations in 1995. The loss of any one or more of
these customers would have a material adverse impact on the Company's business.
COMPETITION
AUSA competes with at least twelve pharmaceutical manufacturers, including
both generic and brand-name manufacturers, almost all of these companies have
been in business for a longer period of time than AUSA and have a greater
number of products on the market, and almost all of which have greater
financial and other resources. The following companies are considered to be
AUSA's primary competitors: Abbott Laboratories, Astra Pharm, Gensia
Pharmaceuticals, Inc., SoloPak Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Marsam Pharmaceuticals,
Inc./Schein Pharmaceutical, Inc., American Regent, Inc., American Home Products
Corp.,
I.M.S. Ltd., Fujisawa USA Inc. and Bedford Laboratories.
The competitive factors affecting generic injectable pharmaceutical products
are price, quality, breadth of product line, the ability to introduce generic
versions of brand-name drugs promptly after a patent expires, reputation,
distribution capabilities, customer service (including participation in "prime
vendor" programs and maintenance of sufficient inventories for timely
deliveries). AUSA believes that price is the most significant competitive
factor, particularly as the number of generic entrants with respect to
particular products increase. As competition from other manufacturers
intensifies, selling prices typically decline. In this regard, AUSA competes
not only with generic injectable drug manufacturers, but also with manufactures
of brand-name injectable products, who may reduce prices in order to make their
products competitive with generic products.
Profit margins on new generic drug products typically are relatively high upon
their introduction into the marketplace and are expected to decline as more
companies enter the market. Accordingly, the maintenance of certain levels of
profitability will be dependent, in part, on AUSA's ability to develop and
introduce new products to the market and on its ability to maintain efficient,
low-cost production capabilities.
PRODUCTS AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
EXISTING PRODUCTS
AUSA currently markets 5 generic injectable drug products in 15 package and
dosage configurations as well as a cyanide antidote kit. AUSA currently
purchases all of these products from third parties. The products currently
marketed are: Caffeine/Sodium Benzoate, Dehydrated Alcohol 98%, Gold Sodium
Thiomalate Injection, Papaverine HCL Injection, Morphine Sulfate Injection and
the Cyanide Antidote Kit.
During 1995, one of the Company's products accounted for approximately 62% of
its sales from continuing operations and yielded a substantial portion of the
gross margin of the Company. Until other companies introduced this product to
market in the second half of calendar 1995, the Company was the sole generic
distributor of the product. While the Company cannot quantify the effect
relating to anticipated increased competition for this product, it does
anticipate that sales and gross margin of such product will decline in the
future. In addition, the Company is dependent on one supplier of this product.
Management believes that the loss of this source of supply of the product would
have a material adverse impact on the Company's business.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
AUSA seeks to develop and/or contract to develop a broad range of generic
injectable drug products for human use which can be marketed soon after ANDA
approval and when the future patent date of equivalent brand-name drugs
expires.
Development of a generic injectable prescription drug product, including
sourcing of raw materials, formulation, testing of pilot batches and obtaining
FDA approval, generally takes two to three years. In selecting drugs to
develop, AUSA considers a variety of factors, including (i) estimated market
size, (ii) likely availability of raw materials, (iii) anticipated level of
competition, (iv) estimated timing of FDA approval, (v) likelihood of being the
first (or an early) generic entrant into the product market, (vi) projected
ability to produce the product at a cost low enough to permit such product to
be price competitive, and (viii) identifying companies that can develop and/or
manufacture the product. AUSA believes that the ability to select appropriate
products for development, to develop such products on a timely and economic
basis, to submit applications for and obtain FDA approval in a timely manner
and offer a broad line of products are important factors in successfully
competing in the generic injectable drug industry.
AUSA also is expending efforts in the development of injectable products that
will be offered in various unique or value added packaging configurations,
including, vials, piggyback containers, pharmacy bulk packages and prefilled
syringes, and in various dosage forms, including liquid and lypholized.
Research and development costs in the Company's current year were $1,093,000.
AUSA did incur research and development costs prior to the current year.
EMPLOYEES
As of February 6, 1996, AUSA had 16 full-time employees. Of these employees,
seven were engaged in product development, five were involved with sales and
marketing and four were devoted to finance and administration. The Company
laid-off approximately 24 employees including 17 employees of AVP during the
three month period ending in January 1996.
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
All pharmaceutical manufacturers and distributors are subject to extensive
regulation by the Federal government, principally by the FDA, and, to a lesser
extent, by the Drug Enforcement Administration and state governments. The
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act, and other
Federal statutes and regulations govern or influence the testing, manufacture,
safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, approval, sales, advertising and
promotion of the Company's products. Noncompliance with applicable
requirements can result in judicially and/or administratively imposed sanctions
including the initiation of product seizures, injunction actions, fines and
criminal prosecutions. Administrative enforcement measures can involve the
recall of products, as well as the refusal of the government to enter into
supply contracts or to approve new drug applications. The FDA also has the
authority to withdraw approval of drugs in accordance with regulatory due
process procedures.
FDA approval is generally required before any new drug, including a generic
equivalent of a previously approved drug, can be marketed. To obtain FDA
approval for a new drug, a company must, among other things, demonstrate that
its facilities comply with the FDA's GMP regulations. The FDA may inspect the
company's facilities to assure such compliance prior to approval or at any
other reasonable time. GMP regulations must be followed at all times during
the manufacture and other processing of drugs. To comply with the standards
set forth in these regulations, the Company must continue to expend significant
time, money and effort in the areas of quality control and quality assurance.
To obtain FDA approval of a new drug, a company must demonstrate, among other
requirements, the safety and effectiveness of the proposed drug. There are
currently three basic ways to satisfy the FDA's safety and effectiveness
requirements:
1. NEW DRUG APPLICATIONS ("NDA" OR "FULL NDA"): Unless either of the
procedures discussed in paragraphs 2 and 3 below is available, a
company must submit to the FDA full reports of well-controlled
clinical studies and other data to prove that a drug is safe and
effective and meets other requirements for approval.
2. "PAPER" NDAS: In certain instances in the past, the FDA permitted
safety and effectiveness to be shown by submission of published
literature and journal articles in a so-called "paper" NDA. As a
result of passage of the Drug Price Competition and Patent Term
Restoration Act of 1984 (the "Waxman-Hatch Act"), "paper" NDAs are now
recognized in the statute, although they are infrequently used because
of the lack of sufficient information in the literature on the
majority of drugs.
3. ABBREVIATED NEW DRUG APPLICATIONS ("ANDAS"): The Waxman-Hatch Act
established a statutory procedure for submission and FDA review and
approval of ANDAs for generic versions of drugs previously approved by
the FDA (such previously approved drugs are hereinafter referred to as
"listed drugs"). In place of clinical studies to establish the
generic drug's safety and effectiveness, an ANDA applicant typically
is required to submit data demonstrating that the proposed product is
equivalent to the listed drug. In addition to the equivalence data,
an ANDA must contain virtually all other information required of a
full NDA (E.G. chemistry, manufacturing, labeling, and stability
data).
The Waxman-Hatch Act also established certain statutory protections for listed
drugs. Under the Waxman-Hatch Act, an ANDA for a generic drug may be approved,
but such approval may not be made effective for interstate marketing until all
relevant patents for the listed drug have expired or been determined to be
invalid or not infringed by the generic drug. Prior to enactment of the
Waxman-Hatch Act, the FDA did not consider the patent status of a previously
approved drug. In addition, under the Waxman-Hatch Act, the FDA did not
consider the patent status of a previously approved drug. In addition, under
the Waxman-Hatch Act, statutory non-patent exclusivity periods are established
following approval of certain listed drugs, where specific criteria are met by
the drug. If exclusivity is applicable to a particular listed drug, the
effective date of approval of ANDAs (and, in at least one case, submission of
an ANDA) for the generic version of the listed drug is usually delayed until
the expiration of the exclusivity period, which, for newly approved drugs, can
be either three or five years. The Waxman-Hatch Act also provides for
extensions of up to five years of certain patents covering drugs to compensate
the patent holder for reduction of the effective market life of the patented
drug resulting from the time involved in the Federal regulatory review process.
During 1995, patent terms for a number of listed drugs were extended when the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act (the "URAA") went into effect to implement the
latest General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (the "GATT") to which the United
States became a treaty signatory in 1994. Under GATT, the term of patents was
established as 20 years from the date of patent application. In the United
States, the patent terms historically have been calculated at 17 years from the
date of patent grant. The URAA provided that the term of issued patents be
either the existing 17 years from the date of patent grant or 20 years from the
date of application, whichever was longer. The effect generally was to add
patent life to already issued patents, thus delaying FDA approvals of
applications for generic products.
In addition to the Federal government, states have laws regulating the
manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals, as well as regulations dealing
with the substitution of generic for brand-name drugs. The Company's
operations are also subject to regulation, licensure and inspection by the
states in which they are located and/or do business.
The Company also is governed by Federal and state laws of general
applicability, including laws regulating matters of environmental quality,
working conditions, and equal employment opportunity.
The Federal government made significant changes to Medicaid drug reimbursement
as part of the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1990 ("OBRA"). Generally,
OBRA provides that generic drug manufacturers and distributors must offer the
state an 11% rebate on drugs dispensed under the Medicaid program and must have
entered into a formal drug rebated agreement, as the Company has, with the
Federal Health Care Financing Administration. Although not required under
OBRA, the Company has also entered into similar state agreements.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's executive offices occupy a 3,000 square foot office in New York
City, New York. The Company has an informal agreement with Apotex as sublessor
of such space. The lease between Apotex and the landlord expires July 31,1999.
AVP's manufacturing facility occupies an 11,000 square foot facility on
approximately 3 acres of land in Ft. Collins Colorado. See "Business - Recent
Developments - Discontinued Operations."
AUSA leases a 7,000 square foot facility in Lake Forest, Illinois for its human
injectable product development operations.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On January 4, 1996, in connection with the default by the Company on the Loan
Agreement, as amended (See "Business-Recent Developments-Default of Loan
Covenants"), a receiver was appointed by the District Court of Larimer County,
Colorado. The Court's order permits the receiver to exercise control over the
bank accounts, accounts receivable and inventory of AVP. The cash proceeds
from the sale of goods are being held in trust by the receiver on behalf of
Apotex pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, as amended. The Company is
a defendant in certain actions arising in the normal course of business. In
the opinion of management, the appointment of the receiver is expected to have
a material effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the
Company. The ultimate disposition of the certain actions occurring in the
normal course of business matters is not expected to have a material effect on
the financial condition or results of operations of the Company.
ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
No matters were submitted during the year to a vote of the security holders of
the Company through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced
significant operating losses since its inception, resulting in a deficit equity
position. The Company's financial position and operating results raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. While
management intends to dispose of one of its subsidiaries that has incurred
significant operating losses, it does not expect proceeds from such disposition
to be sufficient to fund continuing operations. As a result, the Company is
seeking to obtain additional financing from its majority shareholder and
primary creditor Apotex during 1996 sufficient to fund its future activities.
There is no assurance, however, that such financing will be received. It is
unlikely that any other financing will be available to the Company. The
financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the
outcome of this uncertainty.
In connection with an inspection of its manufacturing facility from October
1994 through May 1995 by the FDA, AVP received a "warning letter" from the
Denver District Office of the FDA setting forth certain deviations from
current good manufacturing practice regulations and alleged violations of
related provisions of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.
In June 1995, following new management's investigation of the matters set forth
in the warning letter, management suspended the manufacture of products
indefinitely. As a consequence of management's subsequent determination that
the time and financial commitment required to rehabilitate AVP's operations
would be too great for it to pursue, management decided to discontinue the
operations of AVP and is currently exploring its alternatives with respect to
such business, including its disposition by sale or otherwise. In connection
with management's decision to discontinue the operations of AVP, the Company
laid-off substantially all of its personnel at this facility and recorded a
provision of $848,000 in its 1995 financial statements. See "Notes to
Financial Statements - Note 4. Discontinued Operations."
In addition, management assessed the value of goodwill acquired in connection
with the business combination compared to its carrying value. As a result of
management's determination that a significant and permanent impairment of the
goodwill associated with AVP's veterinary business occurred, the Company took
a charge of $4,799,000 for the write-down of goodwill that arose in connection
with the Merger. See "Notes to Financial Statements-4. Discontinued
Operations".
Results of operations of AVP is shown as "discontinued operations" on the
consolidated statement of operations. Accordingly, results of operations
discussed below is that of AUSA, a subsidiary engaged in the distribution of
injectable generic drugs primarily to hospitals. Results of operations of AUSA
prior to January 1, 1995 were insignificant and, accordingly, no comparison
between the two periods has been made.
The following should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial
statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere herein.
<PAGE>
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:
NET SALES:
Net sales for the year December 31, 1995 were $4,976,000. The Company's
current injectable product line for human use is purchased for resale from
unrelated manufacturers and consists of six drugs representing approximately
sixteen products. Sales of one of these products accounted for approximately
62% of net sales during the year. Competition on this product was minimal
during a substantial portion of the period. Management expects competition on
sales of this product in the near term to intensify, accordingly; sales and
gross margins of this product are expected to decrease from levels experienced
in the current period.
GROSS MARGINS:
Gross margins were adversely affected by the write-off of short-dated
inventories aggregating approximately $600,000. The write-off of inventories
resulted from the purchase of quantities of certain products in excess of the
market demand for such products. Gross margins excluding inventory write-offs
approximated $2,302,000 or 46% of net sales.
OPERATING EXPENSES:
SELLING AND DISTRIBUTION:
As a result of the Company's current financial difficulties in January 1996,
the Company laid-off a substantial number of its employees in the sales
department . As a result, management expects selling and distribution costs to
decrease from current levels in the future.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE:
Management expects general and administrative costs to decrease from current
levels in the future as a result of decreases in personnel costs.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
At December 31, 1995, the Company had cash and working capital deficiency of
$15,000 and $4,736,000, respectively. The Company is dependent on continued
financing from Apotex, (see "Financing" below).
FINANCING
The Company's current level of liquidity and capital resources is not
sufficient to fund current operations and growth of the Company's business.
In connection with the business combination, the Company and Apotex had
entered into lending arrangements under a Loan Agreement dated April 13, 1995
(the "Loan Agreement"). Apotex lent the Company $500,000 in the form of a
term loan and $2,000,000 in the form of a revolving loan. Both loans were
evidenced by promissory notes and would have matured April 13, 1998. The
Company has borrowed the entire line of credit, and the aggregate indebtedness
of $2,500,000 is outstanding. These loans bear interest at the rate of 1% over
prime. Interest was payable on the first business day of each March, June,
September and December, and the Company failed to pay certain accrued and
unpaid interest when due. The Company secured repayment of these amounts by
all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, including AVP's plant in
Fort Collins, Colorado. As additional consideration for the loans, the Company
had issued in favor of Apotex, warrants to purchase the Company's common stock
at a purchase price of $1 per share at the rate of one share for each dollar of
loan advanced. The warrants have a term of three years.
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to
amend the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in
its discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000, original loan
amount, that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they
had been advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested
additional advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000
through December 31, 1995. The Company agreed that failure to repay the
amounts when due would constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The
Company also issued to Apotex a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783
shares of the Company's common stock, at an exercise price of $.75 per share in
connection with the amendment. The warrants have a term of three years.
The Company's failure to pay the amounts due December 22, 1995 constituted an
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and Apotex accelerated the entire
amount of indebtedness (approximately $3,500,000) of the Company and its
subsidiaries, which are jointly and severally liable for the debt, by a letter
dated January 2, 1996, which required the Company to turn over to Apotex all of
the collateral on January 5, 1996.
Apotex sought and received the appointment of a receiver for the Ft. Collins
plant in a proceeding in Larimer County, Colorado, on January 4, 1996. The
order permits the receiver to exercise control over the Company's bank
accounts, accounts receivable and inventory. As a result of the November 29,
1995 letter amendment to the Loan Agreement and the appointment of a receiver,
AVP is not receiving any cash proceeds. In addition, pursuant to the Loan
Agreement, as amended, accounts receivable of AUSA has been assigned to Apotex
and collections thereof are being deposited into the bank accounts of Apotex.
The Company, at present, lacks the liquidity needed to carry on its business.
There can be no assurance that Apotex will continue to finance the Company nor
that alternative sources of financing will be available to the Company.

registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of
ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIP AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On April 13, 1995, a merger (the "Merger") of GEN/Rx, Inc.'s newly formed
wholly-owned subsidiary, GEN/Rx Acquisition Subsidiary, Inc., with and into
AUSA was consummated. Pursuant to the Merger, the Company acquired all the
assets of AUSA, a company engaged in the distribution of injectable drugs to
the hospital market. AUSA was a subsidiary of Apotex USA, Inc. ("Apotex"). As
part of the Merger transaction, the Company issued to Apotex (the former
shareholder of AUSA) 13,288,874 shares of its Common Stock and is obligated to
issue to Apotex, an additional 2,064,966 shares as soon as practicable
following an amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing
the number of authorized shares of common stock. After issuance of the
additional shares, Apotex will own approximately seventy four (74%) percent of
the outstanding Common Stock of the Company. In addition, warrants to purchase
270,000 shares of common stock of GEN/Rx for $1.50 per share were issued to
various individuals in connection with the Merger.
Since after issuance of the additional 2,064,966 shares upon amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized
shares, the former shareholders of AUSA own 74% of GEN/Rx, Inc., the
transaction has been accounted for as if AUSA acquired the net assets of GEN/Rx
for the previously issued and outstanding shares of GEN/Rx.
In addition, in connection with the Merger and pursuant to a Loan Agreement
dated April 13, 1995 between the Company and Apotex, Apotex lent the Company
$500,000 represented by a Term Note dated April 13, 1995 and $2,000,000
represented by a revolving line of credit note dated April 13, 1995. The notes
bear interest at 1% over prime and mature on April 13, 1998. These notes are
secured by all of the assets of the Company. In addition, as additional
consideration for the loans, Apotex received warrants exercisable at $1.00 per
share to purchase shares of the Company's common stock in an amount equal to
one share for each dollar advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The
warrants have a term of three years. At December 31, 1995, the Company had
borrowed $2,500,000 pursuant to this Loan Agreement.
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to
amend the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in
its discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000 original loan
amount, that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they
had been advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested
additional advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000
through December 31, 1995. The Company agreed that failure to repay the
amounts when due would constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The
Company also issued to Apotex a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.004 per share, at an exercise
price of $.75 per share in connection with the amendment. The warrants have a
term of three years.
The Company's failure to pay the amounts due December 22, 1995 constituted an
Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and Apotex accelerated the entire
amount of indebtedness (approximately $3,500,000) of the Company and its
subsidiaries, which are jointly and severally liable for the debt, by a letter
dated January 2, 1996, which required the Company to turn over to Apotex all of
the collateral on January 5, 1996.
Apotex sought and received the appointment of a receiver for the Ft. Collins
plant in a proceeding in Larimer County, Colorado, on January 4, 1996. The
order permits the receiver to exercise control over AVP's bank accounts,
accounts receivable and inventory. As a result of the November 29 letter
amendment to the Loan Agreement and the appointment of a receiver, AVP is not
receiving any cash proceeds. In addition, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, as
amended, accounts receivable of AUSA has been assigned to Apotex and
collections thereof are being deposited into the bank accounts of Apotex.
Interest expense incurred on these obligations for the year ended December 31,
1995 approximated $1,067,000 including imputed interest assigned to the value
of the warrants issued to Apotex of $915,000.
The Company currently utilizes the service of certain employees of Apotex in
the areas of product development, quality assurance, regulatory affairs,
management information systems, purchasing and other clerical work. As
compensation for these services, AUSA pays to Apotex its pro-rata portion of
the salary and related benefits of these individuals. The costs incurred for
these services for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $352,000. In addition,
AUSA reimburses Apotex for a portion of the occupancy costs incurred in
connection with the building occupied by Apotex regulatory affairs, and
personnel. The costs incurred for these services for the year ended December
31, 1995 was $65,265.
In addition, the Company currently occupies office space as a subtenant of
Apotex although no formal agreement currently exists. The Company's monthly
rent (paid directly to the landlord) is equivalent to the rent provided in the
lease agreement between Apotex and the landlord.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
Board of Directors
Gen/Rx, Inc.
New York, New York
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Gen/Rx,
Inc. and subsidiaries, as at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and changes in
stockholders' and divisional equity (deficit) for the year ended December 31,
1995 and the period from July 1, 1994 (date of inception) to December 31,
1994. 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 generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amoutns and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements enumerated above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Gen/Rx, Inc.
and subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1995
and the period from July 1, 1994 (date of inception) to December 31, 1995
and the period from July 1, 1994 (date of inception) to December 31, 1994 in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Company has incurred losses from operations since
inception and has a working capital deficiency at December 31, 1995 which
raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company has been dependent upon its parent for financing and
management intends to continue to seek financing from its parent. Thre is no
assurance that such financing will continue to be provided. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of this uncertainty.

GEN/RX, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1995
1. THE COMPANY:
GEN/Rx, Inc. ("GEN/Rx") through its wholly-owned subsidiary AUSA, Inc.
("AUSA"), operates in one business segment, the distribution of generic
pharmaceuticals. Products are in injectable form and marketed primarily to
hospitals and wholesalers in the United States.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has experienced
significant operating losses since its inception, resulting in a deficit equity
position. The Company's financial position and operating results raise
substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. While
management intends to dispose of one of its subsidiaries that has incurred
significant operating losses, (see "Note 4. Discontinued Operations" below) it
does not expect proceeds from such disposition to be sufficient to fund
continuing operations. As a result, the Company is seeking to obtain
additional financing from its majority shareholder and primary creditor Apotex
USA Inc. ("Apotex") during 1996 sufficient to fund its future activities.
There is no assurance, however, that such financing will be secured and
obtained. It is unlikely that any other financing will be available to the
Company. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
2. BUSINESS COMBINATION:
On April 13, 1995, a merger (the "Merger") of GEN/Rx, Inc., with and into AUSA
was consummated. Pursuant to the Merger, GEN/Rx acquired all the assets of
AUSA which commenced operations as Yorpharm, a division of Apotex, in July
1994. In April 1995, prior to the Merger, the net assets of Yorpharm were
transferred to the newly formed corporation, AUSA a subsidiary of Apotex. As
part of the Merger transaction, GEN/Rx issued to Apotex (the former shareholder
of AUSA) 13,288,874 shares of its Common Stock and is obligated to issue to
Apotex, an additional 2,064,966 shares as soon as practicable following an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number
of authorized shares of common stock. After issuance of the additional shares,
Apotex will own approximately seventy four (74%) percent of the outstanding
Common Stock of GEN/Rx. In addition, warrants to purchase 270,000 shares of
common stock of GEN/Rx for $1.50 per share were issued to various individuals
in connection with the Merger.
Since, after issuance of the additional 2,064,966 shares upon amendment to the
Company's Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized
shares, the former shareholders of AUSA will own 74% of GEN/Rx, the transaction
was accounted for as if AUSA acquired the net assets of GEN/Rx for the
previously issued and outstanding shares of GEN/Rx. Accordingly, the financial
statements presented herewith are those of AUSA. The merger was accounted for
as a purchase of GEN/Rx for $5,711,000. The excess of the fair value of the
previously issued and outstanding stock of GEN/Rx, Inc. over the fair value of
its assets of $5,036,000 was recorded as goodwill. See "4. Discontinued
Operations" below.
In addition, in connection with the merger and pursuant to a Loan Agreement
dated April 13, 1995, as amended on November 29, 1995 between the Company and
Apotex, Apotex agreed to make loans to the Company. See "8. Notes
Payable-Apotex" below.
<PAGE>
3. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AUSA, and from
April 13, 1995, its parent GEN/Rx and GEN/Rx's other wholly-owned subsidiary,
American Veterinary Products, Inc. ("AVP"). See "Discontinued Operations"
below. References herein to the "Company" refer to AUSA, GEN/Rx and AVP,
collectively.
INVENTORIES:
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or market
value.
DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION:
Property and equipment are depreciated straight-line over their estimated
useful lives which are from three to seven years.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT:
Research and development expenses represent costs incurred by the Company to
develop new products and obtain premarketing regulatory approval for such
products. All such costs are expensed as incurred.
REVENUE RECOGNITION:
The Company recognizes revenue at the time it ships product and it provides for
returns and allowances based upon actual subsequent allowances and historical
trends.
PER SHARE DATA:
Per share data is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and
equivalents outstanding and 2,064,966 shares to be issued following an
amendment to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation increases the number of
authorized shares of common stock. The dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding
options and warrants is computed using the "treasury stock" method. Fully
dilutive has not been presented because it is not different from primary
amounts.
CASH EQUIVALENTS:
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly
liquid money market instruments with original maturity of three months or less
to be cash equivalents.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK:
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk
consist of trade receivables. The Company markets its products primarily to
domestic wholesalers, distributors and hospitals. The risk associated with
this concentration is believed by the Company to be limited due to the large
number of distributors, wholesalers, and hospitals, their geographic dispersion
and the performance of certain credit evaluation procedures (see "5. Accounts
Receivable-Major Customers"). Collateral is generally not required.
ESTIMATES:
Preparation of these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principals require the use of management's estimates.

DECEMBER 31, 1995-CONTINUED
4. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:
In connection with an inspection of its manufacturing facility from October
1994 through May 1995 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"), AVP
received a "warning letter" from the Denver District Office of the FDA setting
forth certain alleged deviations from current good manufacturing practice
regulations and alleged violations of related provisions of the Federal Food,
Drug and Cosmetic Act.
In June 1995, following new management's investigation of the matters set forth
in the warning letter, management suspended the manufacture of products
indefinitely. In December 1995, management decided to discontinue the
operations of AVP and is currently exploring its alternatives with respect to
disposition of the remaining assets of such business, including by sale or
otherwise. In connection with the decision during the fourth quarter to
dispose of AVP, the Company laid-off substantially all of its personnel at this
facility and recorded a charge of $848,000 consisting of a provision for
estimated loss on disposition of AVP's assets of $398,000, a provision for
estimated operating losses of $450,000 from AVP's business through the expected
time of disposition and the write-off of goodwill that arose in connection with
the Merger applicable to AVP's business of $4,798,000.
Results from discontinued operations are as follows (in thousands):
APRIL 13, 1995
(DATE OF ACQUISITION)
THROUGH
DECEMBER 31,
1995
Net Sales $779
(Loss) from operations (2,906)(a)

(Loss) from discontinued operations $(8,552)
(a) Includes losses of $1,897 incurred from the period July 1, 1995 when
operating activities were suspended, through December 31, 1995.
The assets, and estimated liabilities of the discontinued operations have been
reclassified on the balance sheet to separately identify them and consist of
the following (in thousands):
Cash and restricted cash $155
Accounts receivable 243
Inventories 158
Fixed assets 500
Other assets 3
Total assets $1,059
Notes payable - banks $137
Accounts payable 587
Accrued expenses and other liabilities 273
Estimated costs of disposal 450
Total estimated liabilities $1,447
AVP is also liable to Apotex for all borrowing and advances pursuant to the
Loan Agreement, as amended. See "Note 8" below.
Disposition of the assets of the discontinued operations is expected to occur
by the end of the second quarter of 1996.
As a result of management's determination that a significant and permanent
impairment of the goodwill associated with AVP's veterinary business occurred,
the Company took a charge of $4,798,000 in the fourth quarter for the write-
down of goodwill that arose in connection with the merger applicable to AVP's
business. Such charge is included in the estimated loss of disposal of
discontinued operations on the consolidated statement of operations.
5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE: DECEMBER 31,

accounts of Apotex.
MAJOR CUSTOMERS:
Three of the Company's customers accounted for approximately 30%, 18% and 10%
of sales from continuing operations in 1995. The loss of any one or more of
these customers would have a material adverse impact on the Company's business.
6. INVENTORIES:
Inventories relating to continuing operations at December 31, 1995 and 1994
consist of finished goods. During 1995, the Company took charges aggregating
$600,000 for the write-off of short-dated inventories.

8. NOTES PAYABLE-APOTEX:
On January 2, 1996, Apotex, the majority shareholder and primary creditor of
the Company, accelerated approximately $3,500,000 of the outstanding
indebtedness of the Company in favor of Apotex. The Company had failed to pay
Apotex approximately $1,000,000 of indebtedness when it was due on December 22,
and, as a result, after a 10-day grace period, the Company's failure to pay
that amount constituted an Event of Default under the existing lending
arrangements between the Company, as borrower, and Apotex.
The Company and Apotex had entered into these lending arrangements under a Loan
Agreement dated April 13, 1995 (the "Loan Agreement"). At that date, Apotex
agreed to lend to the Company $500,000 in the form of a term loan and up to
$2,000,000 in the form of a revolving loan. Both loans were evidenced by
promissory notes and would have matured April 13, 1998. The Company has
borrowed the entire line of credit, and the aggregate indebtedness of
$2,500,000 is outstanding. These loans bore interest at the rate of 1% over
prime. Interest was payable on the first business day of each March, June,
September and December, and the Company failed to pay certain accrued and
unpaid interest when due. The Company secured repayment of these amounts by
all of the assets of the Company, including AVP's plant in Fort Collins,
Colorado. As additional consideration for the loans, the Company had issued in
favor of Apotex, warrants to purchase the Company's common stock at a purchase
price of $1 per share at the rate of one share for each dollar of loan
advanced. The warrants are exercisable for a period of three years.
On November 29, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Apotex to
amend the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Loan Agreement permitted Apotex, in
its discretion, to advance sums in excess of the $2,500,000 original loan
amount, that were due December 22, 1995, but otherwise were treated as if they
had been advanced pursuant to the Loan Agreement. The Company requested
additional advances and Apotex advanced the Company approximately $325,000
through December 31, 1995. The Company also agreed that failure to repay the
amounts when due would constitute a default under the Loan Agreement. The
Company also issued to Apotex a warrant to purchase an additional 813,783
shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.004 per share, at an exercise
price of $.75 per share in connection with the amendment. The warrants have a
term of three years.
At December 31, 1995, the Company was indebted to Apotex for an aggregate of
$3,563,000 including accounts payable converted to notes pursuant to the
amendment of the loan agreement of $447,000. The Company continues to receive
additional advances from Apotex subsequent to December 31, 1995 The Company's
defaults constituted Events of Default under the Loan Agreement and Apotex USA
accelerated the entire amount of indebtedness of the Company and its
subsidiaries, which are jointly and severally liable for the debt, by a letter
dated January 2, 1996, which required the Company to turn over to Apotex all of
the collateral on January 5, 1996. As a result, all of the borrowing pursuant
to the Loan Agreement, as amended, is classified as current on the balance
sheet as at December 31, 1995.
Apotex sought and received the appointment of a receiver for AVP's plant in a
proceeding in Larimer County, Colorado, on January 4, 1996. The order permits
the receiver to exercise control over AVP's bank accounts, accounts receivable
and inventory. As a result of the November 29 letter amendment to the Loan
Agreement and the appointment of a receiver, AVP is not receiving any cash
proceeds.
Interest expense during 1995 aggregated $1,069,000 including imputed interest
of $915,000 assigned to the value of warrants issued in connection with the
Merger and Loan Agreement, as amended with Apotex.

9. SHAREHOLDERS' DEFICIT:
WARRANTS:
In connection with the Merger (see "Note 2.-Business Combination" above) and
pursuant to a Loan Agreement April 13, 1995 as amended November 29, 1995; (see
"8. Notes Payable-Apotex", above) as additional consideration for the loans,
the Company must issue Apotex warrants to purchase shares of the Company's
common stock at the rate of one share for each dollar of loan advanced. Under
the terms of the agreement Apotex received 2,500,000 warrants exercisable at
$1.00 per share, 813,783 warrants exercisable at $.75 per share and as at
December 31, 1995 is obligated to issue an additional 498,032 warrants
exercisable at $.75 per share.
Also in connection with the Merger, the Company issued 270,000 warrants to
certain employees and consultants to Apotex, exercisable at $1.50 per share of
common stock . All of the warrants have a term of three years.
STOCK OPTIONS:
The following is a summary of stock option activity during the period July 1,

The Company's 1990, 1992 and 1994 Incentive Stock Option Plan each provide that
options may be granted to employees of the Company for the purchase of up to
300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.
In addition, the Company had options outstanding to purchase 259,500 shares at
prices ranging from $.75 to $1.00 per share not pursuant to any plan.
Options for 412,860 shares were exercisable at December 31, 1995 at prices
ranging from $.75 to $2.00 per share.
10. INCOME TAXES:
At December 31, 1995, the Company has a net operating loss carryforward for
income tax purposes aggregating approximately $4,441,000 which expires in the
year 2010.
The gross provision for income tax benefit and increase in valuation allowance
thereon for the year ended December 31, 1995, was approximately $2,036,000.
The tax effects of the significant temporary differences and carryforwards
which give rise to the deferred tax asset are as follows (in thousands):
Loss $1,510

Provision for bad debt 34
Provision for loss on discontinued
operations 288

GEN/Rx has pre-acquisition net loss carryforwards of approximately $2,700,000
which were generated by AVP and therefore have utilization limitations. The
carryforwards will expire in the years 2007 through 2009. In addition, the Tax
Reform Act of 1986 contains provisions which limit the net operating loss
carryforwards available for use should significant changes in ownership
interest occur. The Company has had an ownership change which will result in
the applications of these limitations.
11. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:
The Company and Apotex are parties to a Loan Agreement as Amended whereby
Apotex has advanced to the Company $3,811,000 less repayments of $248,000
through December 31, 1995. The amount also includes accounts payable of
$447,000 arising in the ordinary course of business which was converted to
notes payable in connection with the amendment to the Loan Agreement with
Apotex on November 29, 1995. Interest expense incurred on these obligations
for the year ended December 31, 1995 approximated $1,067,000 including imputed
interest of $915,000. See "8. Notes Payable-Apotex" above.
The Company currently utilizes the service of certain employees of Apotex in
the areas of product development, quality assurance, regulatory affairs,
management information systems, purchasing and other clerical work. As
compensation for these services, AUSA pays to Apotex its pro-rata portion of
the salary and related benefits of these individuals. The costs incurred for
these services for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $352,000. In addition,
AUSA reimburses Apotex for a portion of the occupancy costs incurred in
connection with the building occupied by Apotex regulatory affairs, and
personnel. The costs incurred for these services for the year ended December
31, 1995 was $65,000.
In addition, the Company currently occupies office space as a subtenant of
Apotex although no formal agreement currently exists. The Company's monthly
rent (paid directly to the landlord) is equivalent to the rent provided in the
lease agreement between Apotex and the landlord.
The Company believes that the charges for these services and space are fair.
12. COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND OTHER MATTERS:
LEASES:
At December 31, 1995, the Company had minimum rental commitments aggregating
$184,000 under a noncancelable operating lease expiring in 1998. Amounts
payable thereunder are $60,000 in 1996, $61,000 in 1997 and $63,000 in 1998.
Rent expense charged to continuing operations in 1995 was $91,000.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS:
On January 4, 1996, in connection with the default by the Company on the Loan
Agreement, as amended (See "Note 8. Notes Payable-Apotex"), a receiver was
appointed by the District Court of Larimer County, Colorado. The Court's order
permits the receiver to exercise control over the bank accounts, accounts
receivable and inventory of AVP. The cash proceeds from the sale of goods are
being held in trust by the receiver on behalf of Apotex pursuant to the terms
of the Loan Agreement, as amended. In addition, the Company is a defendant in
certain actions arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management, the appointment of the receiver is expected to have a material
effect on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company.
The ultimate disposition of the certain actions occurring in the normal course
of business matters is not expected to have a material effect on the financial
condition or results of operations of the Company.
OTHER MATTERS:
During 1995, one of the Company's products accounted for approximately 62% of
its sales from continuing operations and yielded the substantial portion of the
gross margin of the Company. Until other companies introduced this product to
market in the second half of calendar 1995, the Company was the sole generic
distributor of the product. While the Company cannot quantify the effect
relating to anticipated increased competition for this product, it does
anticipate that sales and gross margin of such product will decline in the
future. In addition, the Company is dependent on one supplier of this product.
Management believes that the loss of the source of supply of the product would
have a material adverse impact on the Company's business.
