PART I
Item 1. Description of Business
General
The Female Health Company ("FHC" or the "Company") manufactures, markets and
sells the Female Condom, the only FDA-approved product under a woman's control
which can prevent unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases
("STDs"), including HIV/AIDS. It is the only HIV/AIDS product specifically
developed and approved by regulatory agencies in the U.S., the European Union,
Japan and The People's Republic of China, among others, since the epidemic began
about 20 years ago for the prevention of the transmission of HIV/AIDS through
sexual contact.
The Female Condom has undergone extensive testing for efficacy, safety and
acceptability, not only in the United States but also in over 50 additional
countries. Certain of these studies show that having the Female Condom
available increases protected sex acts and decreases the incidence of STDs.
The product is currently sold or available in various venues including
commercial (private sector) outlets, public sector clinics and research programs
in over 75 countries. It is commercially marketed in 18 countries including the
U.S., the U.K., Canada, France and Japan. The Company is currently in
discussions with potential distributors for key European countries, India, The
People's Republic of China and other countries.
As noted above, the Female Condom is sold to the global public sector. In the
U.S., the product is marketed to city and state public health clinics as well as
not-for-profit organizations. Following several years of testing the efficacy
and acceptability of the Female Condom, in 1996, the Company entered into a
three-year agreement with the Joint United Nations Programme on Aids ("UNAIDS")
which has subsequently been extended. In the agreement, UNAIDS facilitates the
availability and distribution of the Female Condom in the developing world and
the Company will sell the product to developing countries at a reduced price
based on the total number of units purchased. The current price per unit is
approximately 0.38 (Pounds), or $0.55. Pursuant to this agreement, the product
is currently available in over 50 countries including in Zambia, Zimbabwe,
Tanzania, Brazil, Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, Ghana, and Haiti. The Company
anticipates multiple launches will occur during the next two years under this
agreement, including launches in Kenya, Nigeria, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and
Central American countries.
Product
The Female Condom is made of polyurethane, a thin but strong material that is
resistant to rips and tears during use. The Female Condom consists of a soft,
loose fitting sheath and two flexible O rings. One of the rings is used to
insert the device and helps to hold it in place. The other ring remains outside
the vagina after insertion. The Female Condom lines the vagina, preventing skin
from touching skin during intercourse. The Female Condom is prelubricated and
disposable and is intended for use during only one sex act.
Global Market Potential
MALE CONDOM MARKET: It is estimated the global annual market for male condoms is
5.4 billion units. The major segments are in the Global Public sector, the U.S.,
Japan, India and China. However, the majority of all acts of sexual intercourse,
excluding those intended to result in pregnancy, are completed without
protection. As a result, it is estimated the potential market for barrier
contraceptives is much larger than the identified male condom market.
HIV/AIDS is an epidemic far more extensive than what was predicted. UNAIDS and
the World Health Organization ("WHO") now estimate that the number of people
living with HIV/AIDS stands at about 36 million, more than 50% higher than WHO's
original projection in 1991 for year end 2000. Further, African countries with
over 80% of the reported cases are experiencing devastating effects to their
economic growth. Gross domestic product in hard-hit countries such as South
Africa is projected to decrease 13% - 22% by 2010. Based
4
<PAGE>
on these recently released figures, UNAIDS has initiated a new strong campaign
to persuade African leaders to immediately initiate broad education out-reach
prevention programs with support from the international community.
The focus is extending to Eastern Europe and Asia as the estimated number of
cases of HIV/AIDS has, according to UNAIDS, exponentially jumped in the last
year. Major prevention and education out-reach programs are being planned and
implemented in these countries.
In the United States, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that
one in four Americans has an STD, one in five adults over the age of 12 has
Herpes and 1 in every 3 sexually active people will get an STD by age 24. Women
are currently the fastest growing group infected with HIV and are expected to
comprise the majority of the new cases by the coming year.
Currently there are only two products that prevent the sexual transmission of
HIV/AIDS and other STDs -- the latex male condom and the Female Condom.
The Company is currently in discussion with WHO and UNAIDS regarding the role
the Female Condom will play as part of the International Partnership Against
Aids in Africa. The partnership is a coalition of African governments, the
United Nations, donors and the private and community sectors. Its mission is
over the next decade to help reduce the number of new HIV infections in Africa,
promote care of HIV positive persons and mobilize society to halt the advance of
AIDS.
Advantages vs. the Male Condom
The Female Condom is currently the only available barrier contraceptive method
controlled by women which allows them to protect themselves from unintended
pregnancy and STDs, including HIV/AIDS. The most important advantage is that a
woman can control whether or not she is protected as many men do not like to
wear male condoms and may refuse to do so.
The polyurethane material that is used for the Female Condom offers a number of
benefits over latex, the material that is most commonly used in male condoms.
Polyurethane is 40% stronger than latex, reducing the probability that the
Female Condom sheath will tear during use. Clinical studies and everyday use
have shown that latex male condoms can tear as much as 4% to 8% of the times
they are used. Unlike latex, polyurethane quickly transfers heat, so the Female
Condom immediately warms to body temperature when it is inserted, which may
result in increased pleasure and sensation during use. The product offers an
additional benefit to the 7% to 20% of the population that is allergic to latex
and who, as a result, may be irritated by latex male condoms. To the Company's
knowledge, there is no reported allergy to date to polyurethane. The Female
Condom is also more convenient, providing the option of insertion hours before
sexual arousal and as a result is less disruptive during sexual intimacy than
the male condom which requires sexual arousal for application.
Cost Effectiveness
Over the past two years several studies have been completed which show that
providing the Female Condom in public clinics in both the United States and
countries in the developing world is, at a minimum, cost effective and usually
cost saving. This is important information for governments to have in
determining where their public health dollars are allocated. These studies have
been or are about to be published and also have been presented at various
scientific meetings around the world.
Worldwide Regulatory Approvals
The Female Condom received PMA approval as a Class III Medical Device from the
FDA in 1993. The extensive clinical testing and scientific data required for
FDA approval laid the foundation for approvals throughout the rest of the world,
including receipt of a CE Mark in 1997 which allows the Company to market the
Female Condom throughout the European Union ("EU"). In addition to the United
States and the EU, several other countries have approved the Female Condom for
sale, including Canada, China, Japan, Russia, Australia, South Korea and Taiwan.
5
<PAGE>
The Company believes that the Female Condom's PMA approval and FDA
classification as a Class III Medical Device create a significant barrier to
entry. The Company estimates that it would take a minimum of four to six years
to implement, execute and receive FDA approval of a PMA to market another type
of Female Condom.
The Company believes there are no material issues or material costs associated
with the Company's compliance with environmental laws related to the manufacture
and distribution of the Female Condom.
Strategy
The Company's strategy is to act as a manufacturer, selling the Female Condom to
the global public sector, United States public sector and commercial partners
for country-specific marketing. The public sector and commercial partners
assume the cost of shipping and marketing the product. As a result, as volume
increases, the Company's operating expenses will not increase significantly.
Commercial Markets
The Company has commercial partners which have launched the product in the U.S.,
the U.K., Canada, Japan and France.
Relationships and Agreements with Public Sector Organizations
Currently, it is estimated more than 1.7 billion male condoms are distributed
worldwide by the public sector each year. The Female Condom is seen as an
important addition to prevention strategies by the public sector because studies
show that the availability of the Female Condom decreases the amount of
unprotected sex by as much as one-third over offering only a male condom.
The Company has a multi-year agreement with UNAIDS to supply the Female Condom
to developing countries at a reduced price which is negotiated each year based
on the Company's cost of production. The current price per unit is
approximately 0.38 (pounds), or $.55.
In the United States, the product is marketed to city and state public health
clinics, as well as not-for-profit organizations. The Female Condom is
available in all 50 states with major programs in the states of New York,
Florida, California, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, South Carolina and
Illinois and the cities of Chicago, Philadelphia, New York and Houston. All
major cities and states have reordered product after their initial shipments.
State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Facility
The Company manufactures the Female Condom in a 40,000 square-foot leased
facility in London, England. The facility is currently capable of producing 60
million units per year. With additional equipment, this capacity can be
significantly increased.
Government Regulation
In the U.S., the Female Condom is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration ("FDA"). Pursuant to section 515(a)(3) of the Safe Medical
Amendments Act of 1990 (the "SMA Act"), the FDA may temporarily suspend approval
and initiate withdrawal of the Pre-Market Approval ("PMA") if the FDA finds that
the Female Condom is unsafe or ineffective, or on the basis of new information
with respect to the device, which, when evaluated together with information
available at the time of approval, indicates a lack of reasonable assurance that
the device is safe or effective under the conditions of use prescribed,
recommended, or suggested in the labeling. Failure to comply with the
conditions of FDA approval invalidates the approval order. Commercial
distribution of a device that is not in compliance with these conditions is a
violation of the SMA Act.

Competition
The Company's Female Condom participates in the same market as male condoms but
is not seen as competing - rather additive in terms of prevention and choice.
However, it should be noted that latex male condoms cost less and have brand
names that are more widely recognized than the Female Condom. In addition, male
condoms are generally manufactured and marketed by companies with significantly
greater financial resources than the Company. It is also possible that other
parties may develop a Female Condom. These competing products could be
manufactured, marketed and sold by companies with significantly greater
financial resources than those of the Company.
Employees
As of December 15, 2000, the Company's operations had 78 full-time employees
within the U.S. and the U.K. and no part-time employees. No Company employees
are represented by a labor union. The Company believes that its employee
relations are good.
Backlog
At December 15, 2000, the Company had unfilled orders of $821,000. The
comparable amount as of the same date of the prior year was $2,522,000. Material
orders fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The Company has several large pending
orders that had not yet been formalized as of the date of filing of this report.
All of the formalized but yet unfilled orders are expected to be filled during
Fiscal 2001.
Patents and Trademarks
The Company currently holds product and technology patents in the United States,
Japan, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, the European Patent
Convention, Canada, The People's Republic of China, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong
Kong and Australia. These patents expire between 2005 and 2013. Due to a change
in patent regulations, the U.S. product patent, which formerly expired on April
14, 2005, has had its expiration extended until April 14, 2007 providing the
Company with two additional years of protection. Additional product and
technology patents are pending in Brazil, South Korea, Germany, Japan and
several other countries. The patents cover the key aspects of the Female
Condom, including its overall design and manufacturing process. The Company
licenses the trademark "Reality" in the United States and has trademarks on the
names "femidom" and "femy" in certain foreign countries. The Company has also
secured, or applied for, 27 trademarks in 14 countries to protect the various
names and symbols used in marketing the product around the world. In addition,
the experience that has been gained through years of manufacturing the Female
Condom has allowed the Company to develop trade secrets and know-how, including
certain proprietary production technologies, which further secure its
competitive position.
Research and Development
In 2000 and 1999, the Company incurred research and development costs from
continuing operations of $67,099 and $122,196, respectively. These expenditures
were primarily related to conducting acceptability studies and analyzing second
generation products.
Industry Segments And Financial Information About Foreign And Domestic
Operations
See Note 11 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, included herein.
History
The Female Condom was invented by a Danish physician who obtained a U.S. patent
for the product in 1988. The physician subsequently sold certain rights to the
Female Condom to Chartex Resources Limited. In the years that followed,
Chartex, with resources provided by a nonprofit Danish foundation, developed the
manufacturing processes and completed other activities associated with bringing
the Female Condom to market in certain non-U.S. countries. The Company, known
as Wisconsin Pharmacal Company, Inc. (the Company's predecessor), owned certain
rights to the Female Condom in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico,
7
<PAGE>
pursued the pre-clinical and clinical studies and overall development of the
product for worldwide use and U.S. FDA approval of the product.
The Female Health Company is the successor to Wisconsin Pharmacal Company, Inc.,
a company which previously manufactured and marketed a wide variety of disparate
specialty chemical and branded consumer products in addition to owning certain
rights to the Female Condom described above.
In fiscal 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to complete a
series of actions designed, in part, to maximize the potential of the Female
Condom. First, the Company restructured and transferred all of the assets and
liabilities of the Company other than those related primarily to the Female
Condom to a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, WPC Holdings,
Inc. ("Holdings"). In January 1996, the Company sold Holdings to an unrelated
third party. Then, in February 1996, the Company acquired Chartex (renamed The
Female Health Company - UK in 1997), the manufacturer and owner of certain
worldwide rights to, and the Company's sole supplier of, the Female Condom. As
a result of the sale of Holdings and the acquisition of Chartex, The Female
Health Company evolved to its current state with its sole business consisting of
the manufacture, marketing and sale of the Female Condom.
The FDA approved the Female Condom for distribution in 1993 and the Company's
manufacturing facility in 1994. Since that time, the Company has sold over 36
million Female Condoms around the world.
Item 2. Description of Property
The Company leases approximately 4,500 square feet of office space at 875 North
Michigan Avenue, Suite 3660, Chicago, IL 60611. The lease expires September
30, 2001. The Company also leases approximately 1,900 square feet at 919 North
Michigan Avenue, Suite 2208, Chicago, Illinois, 60611. The lease expires
January 31, 2001. The Company has subleased these premises to a third party.
The Company utilizes warehouse space and sales fulfillment services of an
independent public warehouse located near Minneapolis, Minnesota for storage and
distribution of the Female Condom. The Company manufactures the Female Condom
in a 40,000 square foot leased facility located in London, England under a lease
which expires in 2027. The FDA-approved manufacturing process is subject to
periodic inspections by the FDA as well as the EU quality group. Current
capacity at the manufacturing facility is approximately 60 million Female
Condoms per year. Management believes the properties are adequately insured.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is not involved in any material pending legal proceedings.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of the Fiscal year ended September 30, 2000.

PART II
Item 5. Market For Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
On February 5, 1999, the Company's common stock was delisted from the American
Stock Exchange since it did not meet all of the criteria for continued listing.
Commencing on February 9, 1999, the common stock has been quoted on the OTC
Bulletin Board under the symbol "FHCO." Although the Company believes the OTC
Bulletin Board has and will continue to provide an efficient market for the
purchase and sale of the Company's common stock, investors may find it more
difficult to obtain accurate quotations of the price of the Company's common
stock and to sell the common stock on the open market than was the case when the
stock was listed on the American Stock Exchange. In addition, companies whose
stock is listed on the American Stock Exchange must adhere to the rules of such
exchange. These rules include various corporate governance procedures which,
among other items, require the Company to obtain shareholder approval prior to
completing certain transactions such as, among others, issuances of common stock
equal to 20% or more of the Company's then outstanding common stock for less
than the greater of book or market value or the issuance of certain stock
options. Companies whose stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board are not
subject to these or any comparable rules. The approximate number of record
holders of the Company's common stock at December 15, 2000 was 449. The Company
has paid no cash dividends on its common stock and does not expect to pay cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. The Company anticipates that for the
foreseeable future it will retain any earnings for use in the operation of its
business. Information regarding the Company's high and low reported quarterly
closing prices for its common stock is set forth in the table below. These
sales prices reflect inter-dealer prices, without retail mark-ups, mark-downs or
commissions.

Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
Overview
Over the past few years, the Company completed significant aspects of the
development and commercialization of the Female Condom. These initiatives have
resulted in the attainment of proprietary manufacturing technology and product
design patents, necessary regulatory approvals, endorsements from various
organizations within the world medical community, and the development of
significant manufacturing capacity. These steps, taken as part of the Company's
plan to develop and sell a product with global commercial and humanitarian
value, have required the expenditure of significant amounts of capital and
resulted in significant operating losses including the period 1996 through the
present.
The Company has begun the process of developing the commercial market for the
Female Condom around the world. As part of this plan, the Company has completed
a number of distribution agreements and is pursing other arrangements for the
marketing and sale of the Female Condom. Management believes that as the number
of markets in which the Female Condom is sold increases, sales will grow and at
certain levels the Company will become profitable. However, there can be no
assurance that such level of sales will be achieved in the near term or at all.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2000 ("2000") Compared to Fiscal Year Ended
September 30, 1999 ("1999")
The Company had net revenues of $5.8 million and a net loss attributable to
common stockholders of $(3.8) million, or $(0.30) per share in 2000 compared to
net revenues of $4.7 million and a net loss attributable to common stockholders
of $(3.9) million, or $(0.36) per share in 1999.
The Company's operating loss for 2000 was $2,392,631 compared to $2,851,873 for
1999 for a decrease of 16%. As discussed in more detail in the following
paragraphs, the decrease in the Company's net operating loss was a result of
gross profit improvements while operating expenses between years had a
negligible change. The decline in net loss was smaller (2%), however, due to
increases in non-operating interest expenses and amortization of debt issuance
costs.
Net revenues increased $1.1 million, or 22%, in 2000 over the prior year. The
higher net revenues primarily resulted from increased unit sales shipped to
international customers.
Cost of goods sold increased $585,988, or 13%, to $5,184,735 for 2000 from
$4,598,747 for 1999. The increase was not in proportion with the sales increase
as a result of a larger portion of the Company's total sales being comprised of
international and global public sector business (74%) than during the same
period in the prior year (56%). The costs of goods sold per unit for such
customers' business is less expensive because of the efficiencies related to the
production of the bulk sized product sold. The Company's U.K.-based
manufacturing facility utilized approximately 13% of its capacity in 2000
compared with approximately 11% of its capacity in 1999.
Advertising and promotion expenditures did not change materially between years,
decreasing 2% to $0.2 million in 2000 compared to $0.3 million in 1999.
Advertising and promotion relates exclusively to the U.S. market and includes
the costs of print advertising, trade and consumer promotions, product samples
and other marketing costs incurred to increase consumer awareness and purchases
of the Female Condom. The Company entered an agreement with Mayer Laboratories,
Inc. to distribute the Female Condom to the wholesale retail trade in the United
Sates effective October 1, 2000. The Company will continue to distribute
directly to U.S. Public sector customers. Mayer currently distributes birth
control and STD prevention products and its objective is to increase unit sales
of the Female Condom in the wholesale retail trade arena. This agreement
complements the Company's strategy to serve as a manufacturer supplying public
sector customers and commercial partners worldwide. Additionally, due to the
consolidation of administrative functions the Company estimates this agreement
will permit it to save $0.3 million in expenses annually.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $2.7 million in 2000 and 1999.
As a percentage of net revenues, the selling, general and administrative
expenses were 47% in 2000 compared with 58% in 1999. The decrease as a
percentage of net revenues exists, because although the change in general and
administrative expenses was flat, net revenues increased 22% between the current
and prior fiscal year periods. Selling, general and administrative expenses did
not proportionately increase, however, because increases in investor relations
and selling expenses were offset by reductions in legal and research and
development costs.
The Company's strategy is to act as a manufacturer supplying the public sector
and commercial partners throughout the world. The Company's partners pay for
all marketing and shipping costs. Consequently, as the Company's sales volume
increases the Company's operating expenses will not increase significantly.
Non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs increased $71,552 to $245,676 for
2000 from $174,124 for 1999. The increase is due to the amortization period of
debt issuance costs relating to the issuance of convertible debentures in May
and June 1999. See Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for
further detail regarding the convertible debentures.
10
<PAGE>
Net interest and non-operating expenses increased $327,544, or 45%, to
$1,051,856 for 2000 compared to $724,312 for 1999. The increase exists because
the Company had a higher level of debt outstanding during 2000 than 1999 as a
result of the issuance of convertible debentures. The result is a larger amount
of non-cash expenses incurred from the amortization of discounts on notes
payable and convertible debentures for 2000 than for 1999.
The Company was able to cover fixed manufacturing overhead costs and exceeded
break-even at the gross profit level. However, the Company must achieve
cumulative annual unit sales of approximately 19 million Female Condoms based
upon the current average selling price per unit in order to cover operating and
non-operating expenses or approximately 32% of manufacturing capacity.
Factors That May Affect Operating Results and Financial Condition
The Company's future operating results and financial condition are dependent on
the Company's ability to increase consumer demand for and to cost-effectively
manufacture sufficient quantities of the Female Condom. Inherent in this
process are a number of factors that the Company must successfully manage in
order to achieve favorable future results and improve its financial condition.
Reliance on a Single Product
The Company expects to derive the vast majority, if not all, of its future
revenues from the Female Condom, its sole current product. While management
believes the global potential for the Female Condom is significant, the product
is in the early stages of commercialization and, as a result, the ultimate level
of consumer demand around the world is not yet known. To date, sales of the
Female Condom have not been sufficient to cover the Company's operating costs.
Distribution Network
The Company's strategy is to act as a manufacturer and to develop a global
distribution network for the product by completing partnership arrangements with
companies with the necessary marketing and financial resources and local market
expertise. To date, this strategy has resulted in numerous in-country
distributions in the public sector, particularly in Africa and Latin America.
Several partnership agreements have been completed for the commercialization of
the Female Condom in private sector markets around the world. However, the
Company is dependent on country governments as well as city and state public
health departments within the United States to continue their commitment to
prevention of STDs, including AIDS, by including Female Condoms in their
programs. The Company is also dependent on finding appropriate partners for the
private sector markets around the world. Once an agreement is completed, the
Company is reliant on the effectiveness of its partners to market and distribute
the product. Failure by the Company's partners to successfully market and
distribute the Female Condom or failure of country governments to implement
prevention programs which include distribution of barrier methods against the
AIDS crisis, or an inability of the Company to secure additional agreements for
AIDS crisis, or an inability of the Company to secure additional agreements for
new markets either in the public or private sectors could adversely affect the
Company's financial condition and results of operations.
Inventory and Supply
All of the key components for the manufacture of the Female Condom are
essentially available from either multiple sources or multiple locations within
a source.
Global Market and Foreign Currency Risks
The Company manufactures the Female Condom in a leased facility located in
London, England. Further, a material portion of the Company's future sales are
likely to be in foreign markets. Manufacturing costs and sales to foreign
markets are subject to normal currency risks associated with changes in the
exchange rate of foreign currencies relative to the United States dollar. To
date, the Company's management has not deemed it necessary to utilize currency
hedging strategies to manage its currency risks. On an
11
<PAGE>
ongoing basis, management continues to evaluate its commercial transactions and
is prepared to employ currency hedging strategies when it believes such
strategies are appropriate. In addition, some of the Company's future
international sales may be in developing nations where dramatic political or
economic changes are possible. Such factors may adversely affect the Company's
results of operations and financial condition.
Government Regulation
The Female Condom is subject to regulation by the FDA, pursuant to the federal
Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (the "FDC Act"), and by other state and foreign
regulatory agencies. Under the FDC Act, medical devices must receive FDA
clearance before they can be sold. FDA regulations also require the Company to
adhere to certain "Good Manufacturing Practices," which include testing, quality
control and documentation procedures. The Company's compliance with applicable
regulatory requirements is monitored through periodic inspections by the FDA.
The failure to comply with applicable regulations may result in fines, delays or
suspensions of clearances, seizures or recalls of products, operating
restrictions, withdrawal of FDA approval and criminal prosecutions. The
Company's operating results and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected in the event of a withdrawal of approval from the FDA.
Liquidity and Sources of Capital
Historically, the Company has incurred significant operating losses. Cash used
in continuing operations was $1.0 million for 2000 and $2.8 million in 1999.
Historically, the Company has funded operating losses and capital requirements,
in large part, through the sale of common stock or debt securities convertible
into common stock.
During 2000, the Company received approximately $1.3 million in proceeds from
newly-issued notes payable and $0.9 million from the issuance of common stock.
FHC used these amounts to fund current operations of the Company and to repay
existing liabilities.
In the near term, FHC management expects operating losses and capital
requirements to continue to exceed funds generated from operations due
principally to the Company's fixed manufacturing costs relative to current
production volumes and the ongoing need to commercialize the Female Condom
around the world.
On September 29, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Vector
Securities International, Inc. ("Vector"), an investment banking firm
specializing in providing advice to healthcare and life-science companies.
Pursuant to this agreement, for a one-year period, Vector will act as the
Company's exclusive financial advisor for the purposes of identifying and
evaluating opportunities available to the Company for increasing shareholder
value. These opportunities may include selling all or a portion of the
business, assets or stock of the Company or entering into one or more
distribution arrangements relating to the Company's product. Extension of the
agreement is currently under consideration. There can be no assurance that any
such opportunities will be available to the Company or, if so available, that
the Company will ultimately elect or be able to consummate any such transaction.
On November 19, 1998, the Company executed an agreement with a private investor
(the "Equity Line Agreement"). This agreement provides for the Company, at its
sole discretion, subject to certain restrictions, to sell ("put") to the
investor up to $6.0 million of the Company's Common Stock. The Equity Line
Agreement expires on February 12, 2001 and, among other things, provides for
minimum and maximum puts ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 depending on the
Company's stock price and trading volume. Puts cannot occur more frequently
than every 20 trading days. Upon a proper put under this agreement, the
investor purchases Common Stock at a discount of (a) 12% from the then current
average market price of the Company's Common Stock, as determined under the
Equity Line Agreement, if such average market price is at least $2 or (b) 18%
from the then current average market price if such average market price is less
than $2. In addition, the Company is required to pay its placement agent sales
commissions in Common Stock or cash, at the placement agent's discretion, equal
to 7% of the funds raised under the Equity Line Agreement and issue warrants to
the placement agent to purchase shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of
$2.17 per share, equal to 10% of the shares of Common Stock sold by the Company
under the Equity Line Agreement. Pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement, the
12
<PAGE>
Company issued the investor a Warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of Common Stock
at $2.17 per share.
The Company is required to draw down a minimum of $1 million during the two-year
period. If the Company does not draw down the minimum, the Company is required
to pay the investor a 12% fee on that portion of the $1 million minimum not
drawn down at the end of the two-year period. As of September 30, 2000, the
Company has placed four puts for the combined cash proceeds of $582,000
providing the investor with a total of 680,057 shares of the Company's Common
Stock. Each put was executed while the Company's stock price was below $2.00 per
share. The fourth put, which was executed in the third quarter of the 2000
fiscal year, took place at a price below $1.00 per share. The timing and amount
of the stock sales under the agreement are totally at the Company's discretion,
subject to the Company's compliance with each of the following conditions at the
time the Company requests a stock sale under the agreement:
- the registration statement the Company filed with the SEC for resales of
Common Stock by the investor must remain in effect;
- all of the Company's representations and warranties in the agreement must
be accurate and the Company must have complied with all of the Company's
obligations in the agreement;
- there may not be any injunction, legal proceeding or law prohibiting the
company's sale of the stock to the investor;
- the sale must not cause investor's ownership of the Company's common stock
to exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock;
- the trading price of the Company's common stock over a five trading day
preceding the date of the sale must equal or exceed $1.00 per share; and
- the average daily trading volume of the Company's common stock for a 20
trading day period preceding the date of the sale must equal or exceed
17,000 shares.
The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital in fiscal
2001 to cover operating expenses through the sale of debt or equity, including
pursuant to the Equity Line Agreement if the conditions for its use are
satisfied or waived. There can be no assurance that the Company will satisfy
the conditions required for it to exercise puts under the Equity Line Agreement.
For example, the trading price of the Company's Common Stock has not closed
above $1.00 per share since May 2000. Accordingly, the Company may not be able
to realize all or any of the funds available to it under the Equity Line
Agreement.
The Company has a $1 million note due March 25, 2001 and a $250,000 note payable
due February 12, 2001 to Mr. Stephen Dearholt, a Director of the Company. The
Company also secured a $50,000 note payable due February 18, 2001 to Mr. O.B.
Parrish, the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Until internally generated funds are sufficient to meet cash requirements, FHC
will remain dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient capital from
outside sources. While management believes that revenue from sales of the
Female Condom will eventually exceed operating costs and that ultimately
operations will generate sufficient funds to meet capital requirements, there
can be no assurance that such level of operations will ultimately be achieved,
or be achieved in the near term. Likewise, there can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to source all or any portion of its required capital
through the sale of debt or equity or, if raised, the amount will be sufficient
to operate the Company until sales of the Female Condom generate sufficient
revenues to fund operations. In addition, any funds raised may be costly to the
Company and/or dilutive to stockholders. If the Company is not able to source
the required funds or any future capital which becomes required, the Company may
be forced to sell certain of its assets or rights or cease operations.
13
<PAGE>
As of December 15, 2000, the Company had approximately $0.3 million in cash, net
trade accounts receivable of $0.7 million and current trade accounts payable of
$0.6 million. It is estimated that the Company's cash burn rate, with revenues,
is less than $0.1 million per month.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Although the Company cannot accurately determine the precise effect of
inflation, the Company has experienced increased costs of product, supplies,
salaries and benefits, and increased general and administrative expenses.
Historically, the Company has absorbed increased costs and expenses without
increasing selling prices.

Item 12. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
On March 25, 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000, the Company extended a $1 million
one-year promissory note payable by the Company to Mr. Dearholt in connection
with a previous loan Mr. Dearholt made to the Company. The promissory note is
now payable in full on March 25, 2001 and bears interest at 12% per annum
payable monthly. The note proceeds were initially used by the Company to provide
working capital needed to fund the initial stages of the Company's U.S.
marketing campaign ($0.2 million) and to fund operating losses ($0.8 million).
The borrowing transactions were effected in the form of a promissory note from
the Company to Mr. Dearholt and related Note Purchase and Warrant Agreements and
Stock Issuance Agreements. Under the 1997, 1998, and 1999 Note Purchase and
Warrant Agreements, the Company issued to Mr. Dearholt warrants to purchase
200,000 and shares of the Company's Common Stock for each of the three years
respectively, at exercise prices of $1.848, $2.25, and $1.16 per share,
respectively. Under the 2000 Note Purchase and Warrant Agreements, the Company
issued to Mr. Dearholt warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.71 per share. The warrants expire upon
the earlier of their exercise or five years after the date of their issuances.
Under the Stock Issuance Agreements, if the Company fails to pay the $1 million
under the note when due, the Company must issue 250,000 shares of its Common
Stock to Mr. Dearholt. This issuance will not, however, alleviate the Company
from its liability under the note. The Company also granted Mr. Dearholt certain
securities registration rights with respect to any Common Stock he receives from
the Company under these warrants or the Stock Issuance Agreement. Mr. Dearholt
has agreed that, if the Company requests, he will extend the promissory note for
an additional one-year term to be due and payable on March 25, 2002 upon the
same terms as the prior note extension.
Additionally, during 2000 the Company extended notes of $250,000 from Stephen
Dearholt and $50,000 from O.B. Parrish. Each note payable bears interest at 12%
and is now payable in full in 2001. As part of the transactions, the Company
issued Mr. Dearholt and
21
<PAGE>
Mr. Parrish warrants to purchase 62,500 and 12,500 shares of the Company's
common stock at $0.77 and $0.72 per share, respectively,. Any stock issued under
the warrants carry certain registration rights. The warrants expire in 2010.
Also if the Company defaults on its obligation under the note, the Company is
required to issue an additional 62,500 and 12,500 shares of its common stock to
Mr. Dearholt and Mr. Parrish, respectively, in addition to all other remedies to
which each is entitled.
On July 27, 1997, a trust of which Stephen M. Dearholt, a director of the
Company, is a trustee, purchased 60,000 shares of the Company's Class A
Convertible Preferred Stock--Series 1 at a price of $2.50 per share, which
represented the per share price offered to all subscribers in the private
placement of these shares.
During fiscal 1998, the Company awarded Phoenix 25,000 shares of restricted
Common Stock with a market value of approximately $93,750 for consulting
services provided to the Company. No such amount was awarded in 1999.
On September 24, 1999, the Company completed a private placement of 666,671
shares of common stock to various investors at a purchase price of $0.75 per
share, representing a discount of 12% from the closing price of a share of the
Company's common stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on that date.
Stephen M. Dearholt purchased 266,667 shares for $200,000 in this private
placement. The terms of Mr. Dearholt's purchase were identical to the terms
offered to the other, unrelated investors. As part of this private placement,
the Company granted all of the investors, including Mr. Dearholt, registration
rights which require that the Company register the investors' resale of these
shares.
On June 14, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 400,000 shares of
common stock to The John W. Dearholt Trust at a price of $0.50 per share,
representing a discount of 6% from the closing price of the Company's common
stock on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board on that date. Stephen M. Dearholt
is a co-trustee of this trust. As part of this private placement, the Company
granted the investor registration rights which require that the Company register
the investor's resale of those shares.
On October 2, 2000, the Company completed a private placement of 200,000 shares
of common stock to Michael R. Walton at a price of $0.50 per share, representing
a discount of 12% from the closing price of the Company's common stock on the
Over the Counter Bulletin Board on that date.
It has been and currently is the policy of the Company that transactions between
the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders or affiliates
are to be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from
unaffiliated parties. The Company intends that any future transactions between
the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders or affiliates
will be approved by a majority of the directors who are not financially
interested in the transaction.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
The Female Health Company
Chicago, Illinois
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Female Health
Company and subsidiaries, as of September 30, 2000, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' equity (deficit), and cash flows for the
years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999. 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 amounts 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of The Female Health
Company and subsidiaries as of September 30, 2000, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been presented assuming
that The Female Health Company will continue as a going concern. As more fully
described in Note 14, the Company has experienced slower than expected growth in
revenues from its sole product, which has adversely affected the Company's
current results of operations and liquidity. These conditions raise substantial
doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's
plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 14. The
consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the
possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or
the amounts of classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

THE FEMALE HEALTH COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of consolidation and nature of operations: The consolidated
financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries, The Female Health Company - UK and The Female Health Company - UK,
plc. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated
in consolidation. The Female Health Company ("FHC" or the "Company") is
currently engaged in the marketing, manufacture and distribution of a consumer
health care product known as the Reality female condom, "Reality," in the U.S.
and "femidom" or "femy" outside the U.S. The Female Health Company - UK, is the
holding company of The Female Health Company - UK, plc, which operates a 40,000
sq. ft. leased manufacturing facility located in London, England.
The product is currently sold or available in either or both commercial (private
sector) and public sector markets in 30 countries. It is commercially marketed
directly by the Company in the United States and the United Kingdom and through
marketing partners globally.
Use of estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and use assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Significant accounting estimates include the following:
Trade receivables include a provision for sales returns and trade allowances,
which is based on management's estimate of future product returns from customers
in connection with unsold product which has expired or is expected to expire
before it is sold. The estimated cost for product returns, price discounts and
trade allowances are accrued when the initial sale is recorded.
The market value of inventory is based on management's best estimate of future
sales and the time remaining before the existing inventories reach their
expiration dates.
The Company evaluates intellectual property rights for impairment by comparing
the net present value of the asset's estimated future income stream to the
asset's carrying value.
Although management uses the best information available, it is reasonably
possible that the estimates used by the Company will be materially different
from the actual results. These differences could have a material effect on the
Company's future results of operations and financial condition.
Cash: Substantially all of the Company's cash was on deposit with one financial
institution.
Inventories: Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market. The cost
is determined using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Inventories are also
written down for management's estimates of product which will not sell prior to
its expiration date. Write downs of inventories establish a new cost basis
which is not increased for future increases in the market value of inventories
or changes in estimated obsolescence.
F-6
<PAGE>
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Foreign currency translation: In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards
No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation", the financial statements of the
Company's international subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the
exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, the
historical exchange rate for stockholders' equity and a weighted average
exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, and gains and losses.
Translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component of stockholders'
equity as the local currency is the functional currency.
Equipment and furniture and fixtures: Depreciation and amortization is computed
by the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range as follows:
Equipment 5 - 10 years
Furniture and fixtures 3 years
Intellectual property rights: The Company holds patents on the female condom in
the United States, the European Union, Japan, Canada, Australia and The People's
Republic of China and holds patents on the manufacturing technology in various
countries. The Company also licenses the trademark "Reality" in the United
States and has trademarks on the names "femidom" and "femy" in certain foreign
countries. Intellectual property rights are amortized on a straight-line basis
over their estimated useful life of twelve years.
Financial instruments: The Company has no financial instruments for which the
carrying value materially differs from fair value.
Revenue Recognition: Revenues from product sales are recognized as the products
are shipped to the customers.
Research and Development Costs: Research and development costs are expensed as
incurred. The amount of costs expensed for the years ended September 2000 and
1999 was $67,099 and $122,196, respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation: The value of stock options awarded to employees is
measured using the intrinsic value method prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees." The
Company has provided pro forma disclosures in Note 7 of net income as if the
fair value-based method prescribed by Financial Accounting Standard No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," ("FAS 123") was used in measuring
compensation expense.
Advertising: The Company's policy is to expense production costs in the period
in which the advertisement is initially presented to consumers.
F-7
<PAGE>
NOTE 1. NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income taxes: The Company files separate income tax returns for its foreign
subsidiaries. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes" (FAS 109) requires recognition of deferred tax assets and
liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been
included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method,
deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences
between the financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using
enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected
to reverse. Deferred tax assets are also provided for carryforwards for income
tax purposes. In addition, the amount of any future tax benefits is reduced by a
valuation allowance to the extent such benefits are not expected to be realized.
Earnings per share (EPS): Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to
common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding
for the period. Diluted EPS is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential
common shares that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential
common shares consist of the incremental common shares issuable upon conversion
of convertible preferred shares or convertible debt and the exercise of stock
options and warrants for all periods. Fully diluted (loss) per share is not
presented since the effect would be anti-dilutive.
Other comprehensive income: Accounting principles generally require that
recognized revenue, expenses, gains and losses be included in net income.
Although certain changes in assets and liabilities, such as foreign currency
translation adjustments, are reported as a separate component of the equity
section of the balance sheet, such items, along with net income, are components
of comprehensive income.
New accounting pronouncements: In June 1998, the FASB adopted SFAS 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. SFAS 133
establishes accounting and reporting standards requiring that every derivative
instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts) be recorded in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability
measured at its fair value. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the derivative's
fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a
derivative's gains and losses to offset related results on the hedged item in
the income statement, and requires that a company must formally document,
designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge
accounting. In June 1999, the FASB adopted SFAS 137, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities Deferral of the Effective Date of FASB
Statement No. 133. SFAS 133, as amended by SFAS 137, is effective for all
fiscal quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. Management
believes that the adoption of FAS No. 133 will have no material impact on the
Company.
Reclassifications: Certain expenses on the statement of income for the year
ended September 30, 1999, have been reclassified to be consistent with the
presentation shown for the year ended September 30, 2000.

NOTE 3. LEASES
The Company entered into a seven-year operating lease with a third party for
office space effective September 12, 1994. The Company has also guaranteed an
affiliate's lease with an unrelated third party which expires January 31, 2001.
On November 1, 1998 the office space was sublet for the remaining term of the
lease. Rental expense under the affiliate lease was $15,797 and $14,999 in 2000
and 1999, respectively, which is net of sublease rentals of $39,204 and $35,018
in 2000 and 1999, respectively.
On December 10, 1996, the Company entered into what is in essence a sale and
leaseback agreement with respect to its 40,000 square foot manufacturing
facility located in London, England. The Company received $3,365,000 (1,950,000
pounds) for leasing the facility to a third party for a nominal annual rental
charge and for providing the third party with an option to purchase the facility
for one pound during the period December 2006 to December 2027.
As part of the same transaction, the Company entered into an agreement to lease
the facility back from the third party for base rents of $304,000 (195,000
pounds) per year payable quarterly until 2016. The lease is renewable through
December 2027. The Company was also required to make a security deposit of
$304,000 (195,000 pounds) to be reduced in subsequent years. The facility had a
net book value of $1,398,819 (810,845 pounds) on the date of the transaction.
The $1,966,181 (1,139,155 pounds) gain which resulted from this transaction will
be recognized ratably over the initial term of the lease. Unamortized deferred
gain as of September 30, 2000 was $1,373,212 (925,585 pounds).
In 1987, a subsidiary entered into a lease for office and factory space expiring
January 31, 2001. These offices and factory space were vacated and subsequently
this space was subleased to a third party for a period expiring January 31,
2001. At the time the sublease was entered into a liability was established for
all future costs to the end of the lease, net of expected sublease receipts.

NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT
During 1999, the Company renewed a $1,000,000 note with Mr. Dearholt, a current
director of the Company. The outstanding note payable had an interest rate of
12%. As part of the transaction, the Company issued Mr. Dearholt warrants to
purchase 200,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $1.16 per share, which
represented 80% of the average trading price for the five trading days prior to
the closing date for the transaction and resulted in an initial discount on the
note of $194,574. Any stock issued under the warrants carry certain registration
rights. The warrants expire in 2008. The discount in combination with the note's
12% coupon resulted in an effective interest rate of 35 percent on the note.
Additionally, during 1999 the Company borrowed $250,000 from Mr. Dearholt and
$50,000 from O.B. Parrish, also a current director of the Company. Each note
payable bears interest at 12%. As part of the transactions, the Company issued
Mr. Dearholt and Mr. Parrish warrants to purchase 50,000 and 10,000 shares of
the Company's common stock at $1.35 and $1.25 per share, respectively, which
represented 80% of the average trading price for the five trading days prior to
the closing date for the transaction and resulted in an initial discount on the
notes of $49,219 and $9,722, respectively. Any stock issued under the warrants
carry certain registration rights. The warrants expire in 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The discount in combination with the notes' 12% coupon resulted in
an effective interest rate of 35 percent for each note.
During 2000, the Company renewed the $1,000,000 note with Mr. Dearholt. The
outstanding note payable bears interest at 12% and is payable in full in 2001.
As part of the transaction, the Company issued Mr. Dearholt warrants to purchase
250,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $.71 per share which represented
80% of the average trading price for the five trading days prior to the closing
date for the transaction and resulted in an initial discount on the note of
$148,999. Any stock issued under the warrants carry certain registration rights.
The warrants expire in 2010. In addition, if the Company defaults on its
obligation under the note, the Company is required to issue an additional
250,000 shares of its common stock to Mr. Dearholt in addition to all other
remedies to which Mr. Dearholt may be entitled. The note is recorded at
September 30, 2000, net of unamortized discount of $71,641. The discount in
combination with the note's 12% coupon resulted in an effective interest rate of
27 percent on the note.
Additionally, during 2000 the Company renewed the $250,000 note with Mr.
Dearholt and $50,000 note with O.B. Parrish. Each note payable bears interest at
12% and is payable in full in 2001. As part of the transactions, the Company
issued Mr. Dearholt and Mr. Parrish warrants to purchase 62,500 and 12,500
shares of the Company's common stock at $.77 and $.72 per share, respectively,
which represented 80% of the average trading price for the five trading days
prior to the closing date for the transaction and resulted in an initial
discount on the notes of $36,853 and $7,437, respectively. Any stock issued
under the warrants carry certain registration rights. The warrants expire in
2010, for each note. Also if the Company defaults on its obligation under the
note, the Company is required to issue an additional 62,500 and 12,500 shares of
its common stock to Mr. Dearholt and Mr. Parrish, respectively, in addition to
all other remedies to which each is entitled. The notes are recorded at
September 30, 2000, net of unamortized discounts of $13,639 and $2,875,
respectively. The discount in combination with the notes' 12% coupon resulted in
an effective interest rate of 27 percent for each note.

NOTE 4. NOTES PAYABLE AND LONG-TERM DEBT (CONTINUED)
On May 19 and June 3, 1999, the Company issued an aggregate of $1,500,000 of
convertible debentures and warrants to purchase 1,875,000 shares of the
Company's common stock to five accredited investors. These warrants expire in
2004. Interest on the convertible debentures is due at a rate of 8% per annum,
payable quarterly in either cash or, at the investor's option, common stock of
the Company at its then current market value. From December 2, 1999 to February
11, 2000, interest on the convertible debentures was at the rate of 10%
annually, and then returned to 8% annually. Repayment of the convertible
debentures is secured by a first security interest in all of the Company's
assets. In addition, if the Company defaults in payment of the principal or
interest due on the convertible debentures in accordance with their terms, the
Company must immediately issue 1,500,000 shares of its common stock to the
investor at no cost. The issuance of these shares will not affect any of the
outstanding warrants then held by the investor, which warrants will continue in
effect in accordance with their terms.
Additionally, warrants to purchase 337,500 shares of the Company's common stock
were issued to the Company's placement agent in this offering. The warrants have
a term of five years and are exercisable at an exercise price equal to the
lesser of 70% of the market price of the common stock at the time of the
exercise or $1.00. The warrants were valued at $224,800 which was recorded as
additional paid-in capital.
The convertible debentures beneficial conversion feature is valued at $336,400
and the warrants to purchase 1,875,000 shares of the Company's common stock are
valued at $715,100. In accordance with SEC reporting requirements for such
transactions, the Company recorded the value of the beneficial conversion
feature and warrants (a total of $1,051,500) as additional paid-in capital. The
corresponding amount of $1,051,500 was recorded as a discount on convertible
debentures and is amortized over 1 year using the interest rate method. The note
is recorded net of a discount of $101,664 at September 30, 2000. The discount
in combination with the debentures' 8% coupon resulted in an effective interest
rate of 159 percent for the debentures.
The original principal balance plus any accrued but unpaid interest of the
convertible debentures may be convertible into shares of the Company's common
stock at the investor's election, at any time after one year, based on a per
share price equal to the lesser of (a) 70% of the market price of the Company's
common stock at the time of conversion or $1.00. The convertible debentures were
originally payable one year after issuance. However, the Company elected, under
the terms of the convertible debentures, to extend the due date to two years
after issuance. As a result of the Company making this election, the Company
issued to the investors at the time of the extension, 375,000 additional
warrants to purchase shares of the Company's common stock on the same terms as
the previously issued warrants. These warrants expire in 2005. The warrants
were valued at $157,700 and recorded as additional paid-in capital.
On April 6, 1999 the Company restructured its $602,360 (370,000 pounds) Aage V.
Jensen Charity Foundation note payable. The terms included immediate payment of
$177,000 (110,000 pounds) as of the date of the restructuring agreement and
required nine installment payments beginning April 15, 1999 and concluding on
December 10, 1999. To avoid incurring additional interest related to the loan,
the Company paid off the entire loan on June 10, 1999.

As of September 30, 2000, the Company had federal and state net operating loss
carryforwards of approximately $35,428,000 for income tax purposes expiring in
years 2005 to 2016. The benefit relating to $1,537,800 of these net operating
losses relates to exercise of common stock options and will be credited directly
to stockholders' equity when realized. The Company also has investment tax and
research and development credit carryforwards for income tax purposes
aggregating approximately $127,000 at September 30, 2000, expiring in years 2006
to 2010. The Company's U.K. subsidiary, The Female Health Company - UK, plc
subsidiary has U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately
$65,770,000 as of September 30, 2000. These U.K. net operating loss

future grants as of September 30, 2000. The Company has also granted options to
one of its legal counsel and an affiliate. Certain options are vested and

Stock options have been granted to employees at, or in excess of, fair market
value at the date of grant. Accordingly, in accordance with APB 25 and related
interpretations, no compensation cost has been recognized related to such stock
option grants.
Had compensation cost for the Company's stock option plans been determined based
on the fair value at the grant dates for all awards consistent with the method
set forth under FASB Statement No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("FAS 123") the Company's net loss and loss per share would have
been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

As the provisions of FAS 123 have been applied only to options granted since
September 30, 1995, the resulting pro forma compensation cost is not
representative of that to be presented in future years, when the pro forma cost
would be fully reflected.
The fair value of options was estimated at the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model assuming expected volatility of 63.4% and
risk-free interest rates of 5.38% and 5.00% for 2000 and 1999, respectively; and
expected lives of one to three years and 0.0% dividend yield in both periods.
The weighted average fair value of options granted was $.35 and $.61 for the
years ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
F-15
<PAGE>
NOTE 7. COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the
fair value of traded options which have no vesting restrictions and are fully
transferable. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics
different from those of traded options, and because changes in the input
assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the model may not
provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock
options.
Stock Bonus Plan
During 1997, the Company adopted a stock bonus plan ("1997 Bonus Plan") to
provide stock bonuses in lieu of cash bonuses to key employees who are
responsible for the Company's future growth and financial success. The 1997
Bonus Plan provides for the award of up to 200,000 shares which are
nontransferable and subject to a risk of forfeiture for one year subsequent to
grant date. During the year ended September 30, 1999, 15,000 shares of
restricted stock were issued to key employees. No shares of restricted stock
were issued to key employees during the year ended September 30, 2000. Expense
under the plan was $23,438 for the year ended September 30, 1999.
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
The Company enters into consulting agreements with separate third party
professionals to provide investor relations services and financial advisory
services. In connection with the consulting agreements, the Company granted
warrants to purchase common stock. At September 30, 2000, 175,000 warrants
were exercisable.
In 1999, the Company issued 100,000 warrants. The value of the warrants of
$99,483 was recognized as unearned consulting fees and additional paid-in
capital and the expense is being recognized over the term of the agreement. In
2000 the Company did not issue any warrants related to such arrangements.
No warrants were exercised during 2000. At September 30, 2000, the following
warrants were outstanding:

NOTE 7. COMMON STOCK (CONTINUED)
At September 30, 2000, the Company had reserved a total of 9,101,400 shares of
its common stock for the exercise of options and warrants outstanding. This
amount includes shares reserved to satisfy obligations due if the Company
defaults on the payment of interest or principal on $1.3 million of notes due
between February and March 2000, and the convertible debentures due May and June
2000.
Issuance of Stock
The Company has issued common stock to consultants for providing investor
relation services. In 1999, the Company issued 175,000 shares of common stock
with a market value of $185,938 which was recorded as unearned consulting fees
which is being recognized over the term of the agreement. In 2000, the Company
issued 200,000 shares of common stock with a market value of $114,055 which was
recorded as unearned consulting fees and is being recognized over the term of
the agreement.
NOTE 8. PREFERRED STOCK
The Company has outstanding 660,000 shares of 8% cumulative convertible
preferred stock (Series 1). Each share of preferred stock is convertible into
one share of the Company's common stock on or after August 1, 1998. Annual
preferred stock dividends will be paid if and as declared by the Company's Board
of Directors. No dividends or other distributions will be payable on the
Company's common stock unless dividends are paid in full on the preferred stock.
The preferred stock may be redeemed at the option of FHC, in whole or in part,
on or after August 1, 2000, subject to certain conditions, at $2.50 per share
plus accrued and unpaid dividends. In the event of a liquidation or dissolution
of the Company, the preferred stock would have priority over the Company's
common stock. During 1999, 20,718 shares were converted into common stock.
NOTE 9. EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT
On November 19, 1998, the Company executed an agreement with a private investor,
Kingsbridge (the Equity Line Agreement). This agreement provides for the
Company, at its sole discretion, subject to certain restrictions, to sell
("put") to the investor up to $6.0 million of the Company's common stock,
subject to a minimum put of $1.0 million over the duration of the agreement.
The Equity Line Agreement expires 24 months after the effective date of the
registration statement which was February 1999 and, among other things, provides
for minimum and maximum puts ranging from $100,000 to $1,000,000 depending on
the Company's stock price and trading volume. The Company is required to draw
down a minimum of $1 million during the two-year period. If the Company does
not draw down the minimum, the Company is required to pay the investor a 12% fee
on that portion of the $1 million minimum not drawn down at the end of the
two-year period. Upon execution of the agreement, the Company issued Kingsbridge
200,000 warrants to purchase common stock at $2.17 per share. As of September
30, 2000, the Company had placed four puts for the combined cash proceeds of
$582,000 providing the selling stockholders with a total of 680,057 shares of
the Company's common stock.
F-17
<PAGE>
NOTE 9. EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT (CONTINUED)
The timing and amount of the stock sales under the agreement are totally at the
Company's discretion, subject to the Company's compliance with each of the
following conditions at the time the Company requests a stock sale under the
agreement:
- The registration statement the Company filed with the SEC for resales of
stock by Kingsbridge must remain in effect.
- All of the Company's representations and warranties in the agreement must
be accurate and the Company must have complied with all of the obligations
in the agreement.
- There may not be any injunction, legal proceeding or law prohibiting the
Company's sale of the stock to Kingsbridge.
- The sale must not cause Kingsbridge's ownership of the Company's common
stock to exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common
stock.
- The trading price of the Company's common stock over a five-trading-day
period preceding the date of the sale must equal or exceed $1.00 per
share.
- The average daily trading volume of the Company's common stock for a
twenty-trading-day period preceding the date of the sale must equal or
exceed 17,000 shares.
The trading price of the Company's common stock was below $1.00 per share as of
September 30, 2000. Although Kingsbridge waived the condition relating to the
trading price for the fourth put completed during the third quarter of fiscal
year 2000, the Company can make no assurance that Kingsbridge will waive this
condition or any other condition under the Equity Line Agreement if the Company
cannot satisfy such conditions to use the Equity Line Agreement if needed in the
near future.
NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLAN
Effective October 1, 1997, the Company adopted a Simple Individual Retirement
Account (IRA) plan for its employees. Employees are eligible to participate in
the plan if their compensation reaches certain minimum levels and are allowed to
contribute up to a maximum of $6,000 annual compensation to the plan. The
Company has elected to match 100% of employee contributions to the plan up to a
maximum of 3% of employee compensation for the year ended September 30, 2000.
The Company elected to match 1% of employee compensation during the prior year.
Company contributions were $17,539 and $6,541 for 2000 and 1999, respectively.

NOTE 11. INDUSTRY SEGMENTS AND FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT FOREIGN AND
DOMESTIC OPERATIONS
The Company currently operates primarily in one industry segment which includes
the development, manufacture and marketing of consumer health care products.
The Company operates in foreign and domestic regions. Information about the
Company's operations in different geographic areas (determined by the location
of the operating unit) is as follows.

On occasion, the Company's U.S. unit sells product directly to customers located
outside the U.S. Were such transaction reported by geographic destination of
the sale rather than the geographic location of the unit, U.S. revenues would be
decreased and International revenues increased by $37,000 and $177,000 in 2000
and 1999, respectively.
NOTE 12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The testing, manufacturing and marketing of consumer products by the Company
entail an inherent risk that product liability claims will be asserted against
the Company. The Company maintains product liability insurance coverage for
claims arising from the use of its products. The coverage amount is currently
$5,000,000 for FHC's consumer health care product.
NOTE 13. RELATED PARTIES
It has been and currently is the policy of the Company that transactions between
the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders or affiliates
are to be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from
unaffiliated parties. The Company intends that any future transactions between
the Company and its officers, directors, principal shareholders or affiliates
will be approved by a majority of the directors who are not financially
interested in the transaction.
F-19
<PAGE>
NOTE 14. CONTINUING OPERATIONS
The Company's consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going
concern basis which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of
liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company
incurred a loss of $3.8 million for the year ended September 30, 2000, and as of
September 30, 2000, had an accumulated deficit of $49.0 million. At September
30, 2000, the Company had working capital of ($1.4) million and stockholders'
deficit of ($.7) million. In the near term, the Company expects operating and
capital costs to continue to exceed funds generated from operations, due
principally to the Company's fixed manufacturing costs relative to current
production volumes and the ongoing need to commercialize the female condom
around the world. As a result, operations in the near future are expected to
continue to use working capital. Management recognizes that the Company's
continued operations depend on its ability to raise additional capital through a
combination of equity or debt financing, strategic alliances and increased sales
volumes.
At various points during the developmental stage of the product, the Company was
able to secure resources, in large part through the sale of equity and debt
securities, to satisfy its funding requirements. As a result, the Company was
able to obtain FDA approval, worldwide rights, manufacturing facilities and
equipment and to commercially launch the female condom.
Management believes that recent developments, including the Company's agreement
with the UNAIDS, a joint United Nations program on HIV/AIDS, provide an
indication of the Company's early success in broadening awareness and
distribution of the female condom and may benefit efforts to raise additional
capital and to secure additional agreements to promote and distribute the female
condom throughout other parts of the world.
On September 29, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement with Vector
Securities International, Inc. (Vector), an investment banking firm specializing
in providing advice to healthcare and life-science companies. Pursuant to this
agreement, as extended, Vector will act as the Company's exclusive financial
advisor for the purposes of identifying and evaluating opportunities available
to the Company for increasing shareholder value. These opportunities may
include selling all or a portion of the business, assets or stock of the Company
or entering into one or more distribution arrangements relating to the Company's
product. There can be no assurance that any such opportunities will be available

able to consummate any such transaction. Management is currently determining

NOTE 14. CONTINUING OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
During the year ended September 30, 2000, the Company completed private
placements where 1,305,000 shares of the Company's common stock were sold for
$697,500 of which $597,500 was received through September 30, 2000. The stock

While the Company believes that its existing capital resources will be adequate
to fund its currently anticipated capital needs, if they are not the Company may
need to raise additional capital until its sales increase sufficiently to cover
operating expenses. In addition, there can be no assurance that the Company
will satisfy the conditions required for it to exercise puts under the Equity
Line Agreement. Accordingly, the Company may not be able to realize all or any
of the funds available to it under the Equity Line Agreement.
Further, there can be no assurance, assuming the Company successfully raises
additional funds or enters into business agreements with third parties, that the
Company will achieve profitability or positive cash flow. If the Company is
unable to obtain adequate financing, management will be required to sharply
curtail the Company's efforts to promote the female condom and to curtail
certain other of its operations or, ultimately, cease operations.
