Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may constitute “forward-looking” statements as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Section 21E of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “PSLRA”) or in releases made by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), all as may be amended from time to time. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Integrated BioPharma, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such factors including, among others, changes in general economic and business conditions; loss of market share through competition; introduction of competing products by other companies; the timing of regulatory approval and the introduction of new products by the Company; changes in industry capacity; pressure on prices from competition or from purchasers of the Company's products; regulatory changes in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry and nutraceutical industry; regulatory obstacles to the introduction of new technologies or products that are important to the Company; availability of qualified personnel; the loss of any significant customers or suppliers; and other factors both referenced and not referenced in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (“Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC. Statements that are not historical fact are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can be identified by, among other things, the use of forward-looking language, such as the words, “plan”, “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “project”, “may”, “will”, “would”, “could”, “should”, “seeks”, or “scheduled to”, or other similar words, or the negative of these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable language, or by discussion of strategy or intentions. These cautionary statements are being made pursuant to the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the PSLRA with the intention of obtaining the benefits of the “safe harbor” provisions of such laws. The Company cautions investors that any forward-looking statements made by the Company are not guarantees or indicative of future performance. Important assumptions and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements with respect to the Company, include, but are not limited to, the risks and uncertainties affecting its businesses described in Item 1 of the Company’s Annual Report filed on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014 and in other securities filings by the Company.  Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from a projection or assumption in any of the forward-looking statements.  The Company’s future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and inherent risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made only as of the date hereof and the Company does not have or undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, subsequent events or otherwise, unless otherwise required by law.

Note 1. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
 
Basis of Presentation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods are unaudited and include the accounts of Integrated BioPharma, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”). The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and therefore do not include information or footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. However, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and operating results for the periods presented have been included. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto, together with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014 (“Form 10-K”), as filed with the SEC. The June 30, 2014 balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year ending June 30, 2015 or for any other period.

The Company is engaged primarily in manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products.  The Company’s customers are located primarily in the United States, Luxembourg and Canada. The Company was previously known as Integrated Health Technologies, Inc. and, prior to that, as Chem International, Inc. The Company was reincorporated in its current form in Delaware in 1995. The Company continues to do business as Chem International, Inc. with certain of its customers and certain vendors.

(“MDC”), which manufactures vitamins and nutritional supplements for sale to distributors, multilevel marketers and specialized health-care providers; (b) Branded Proprietary Products operated by AgroLabs, Inc.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes during fiscal year 2015 in the Company’s significant accounting policies to those previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
 
Investment in iBio, Inc. The Company accounts for its investment in iBio, Inc. (“iBio”) common stock on the cost basis as it initially retained approximately 6% of its interest in iBio (1,266,706 common shares) (the “iBio Stock”) at the time of the spin-off of this subsidiary in August 2008.  The Company reviews its investment in iBio for impairment and records a loss when there is deemed to be an impairment of the investment.  To date, there were cumulative impairment charges of $298.  The market value of the iBio Stock as of September 30, 2014 was approximately $0.7 million.  Pursuant to the Company’s Loan Agreement with PNC Bank, National Association (“PNC”), the Company is required to sell the iBio Stock when the trading price of the iBio Stock is less than $0.88 per share for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days on the applicable exchange and utilize all proceeds from such sale to prepay the outstanding principal of the term loan outstanding under the Loan Agreement at such time. In the fiscal years ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the trading price of the iBio Stock was less than $0.88 for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days and has continued to have a trading price less than $0.88 through October 10, 2014.  Since then and through November 7, 2014, the trading price of the iBio Stock has traded above $0.88.  (See Note 5. Senior Credit Facility, Subordinated Convertible Note, net - CD Financial, LLC and other Long Term Debt).  As of November 7, 2014, the Company has not sold any shares of the iBio Stock and PNC has not required the Company to sell any of the iBio Stock but continues to reserve the right to do so at any time in the future.

Earnings Per Share. Basic earnings per common share amounts are based on weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share amounts are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the incremental shares that would have been outstanding upon the assumed exercise of all potentially dilutive stock options, warrants and convertible debt, subject to anti-dilution limitations using the treasury stock method.

The following options, warrants and potentially dilutive shares for convertible notes payable (see Note 5. Senior Credit Facility, Subordinated Convertible Note, net - CD Financial, LLC and other Long Term Debt) were not included in the computation of weighted average diluted common shares outstanding as the effect of doing so would be anti-dilutive for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Note 3. Intangible Assets, net

Intangible assets consist of trade names, license fees from the Branded Proprietary Products Segment, and unpatented technology from the Other Nutraceutical Businesses Segment.  The carrying amount of intangible assets, net is as follows as of:
 
 
Amortization expense recorded on intangible assets for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $34.  Amortization expense is recorded on the straight-line basis over periods ranging from 13 years to 20 years based on contractual or estimated lives and is included in selling and administrative expenses. Tests for impairment or recoverability are performed at least annually and require significant management judgment and the use of estimates which the Company believes are reasonable and appropriate at the time of the impairment test.  Future unanticipated events affecting cash flows and changes in market conditions could affect such estimates and result in the need for an impairment charge.  The Company also re-evaluates the periods of amortization to determine whether circumstances warrant revised estimates of current useful lives.  No impairment losses were identified or recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 on the Company’s intangible assets.

The estimated annual amortization expense for intangible assets for the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:

SENIOR CREDIT FACILITY

On June 27, 2012, the Company, MDC, AgroLabs, IHT, IHT Properties Corp. (“IHT Properties”) and Vitamin Factory (collectively, the “Borrowers”) entered into a Revolving Credit, Term Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with PNC Bank, National Association as agent and lender (“PNC”) and the other lenders party thereto.

The Loan Agreement provides for a total of $11,727 in senior secured financing (the “Senior Credit Facility”) as follows: (i) discretionary advances (“Revolving Advances”) based on eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory in the maximum amount of $8,000 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and (ii) a term loan in the amount of $3,727 (the “Term Loan”). The Senior Credit Facility is secured by all assets of the Borrowers, including, without limitation, machinery and equipment, real estate owned by IHT Properties, and common stock of iBio owned by the Company. Revolving Advances bear interest at PNC’s Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, at Borrowers’ option, plus 2.75% (3.25% as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014). The Term Loan bears interest at PNC’s Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate, at Borrowers’ option, plus 3.25% (3.75% as of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014).  Upon and after the occurrence of any event of default under the Loan Agreement, and during the continuation thereof, interest shall be payable at the interest rate then applicable plus 2%.  The Senior Credit Facility matures on June 27, 2017 (the “Senior Maturity Date”).

The principal balance of the Revolving Advances is payable on the Senior Maturity Date, subject to acceleration, based upon a material adverse event clause, as defined, subjective accelerations for borrowing base reserves, as defined or upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Loan Agreement or earlier termination of the Loan Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.  The Term Loan shall be repaid in sixty (60) consecutive monthly installments of principal, the first fifty nine (59) of which shall be in the amount of $44, commencing on the first business day of August, 2012, and continuing on the first business day of each month thereafter, with a final payment of any unpaid balance of principal and interest payable on the first business day of July, 2017. The foregoing is subject to customary mandatory prepayment provisions and acceleration upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Loan Agreement or earlier termination of the Loan Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof.

The Revolving Advances are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement and are made in aggregate amounts at any time equal to the lesser of (x) $8.0 million or (y) an amount equal to the sum of: (i) up to 85%, subject to the provisions in the Loan Agreement, of eligible accounts receivables (“Receivables Advance Rate”), plus (ii) up to the lesser of (A) 65%, subject to the provisions in the Loan Agreement, of the value of the eligible inventory (“Inventory Advance Rate” and together with the Receivables Advance Rate, collectively, the “Advance Rates”), (B) 85% of the appraised net orderly liquidation value of eligible inventory (as evidenced by the most recent inventory appraisal reasonably satisfactory to PNC in its sole discretion exercised in good faith) and (C) the inventory sublimit in the aggregate at any one time (“Inventory Advance Rate” and together with the Receivables Advance Rate, collectively, the “Advance Rates”), minus (iii) the aggregate Maximum Undrawn Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, minus (iv) such reserves as Agent may reasonably deem proper and necessary from time to time.

The Loan Agreement contains customary mandatory prepayment provisions, including, without limitation, (i) the requirement that if the trading price per share of the iBio Stock falls below a certain amount, the Company must sell the iBio Stock and use the proceeds to repay the Term Loan and (ii) the requirement to prepay the outstanding amount of all loans in an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of Excess Cash Flow for each fiscal year commencing with the fiscal year ending June 30, 2014, payable upon delivery of the financial statements to PNC referred to in and required by the Loan Agreement for such fiscal year but in any event not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each such fiscal year, which prepayment amount shall be applied ratably to the outstanding principal installments of the Term Loan in the inverse order of the maturities thereof until the aggregate amount of payments made with regard to the Term Loan pursuant to the Loan Agreement equals $1.0 million.  The Loan Agreement also contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation, (i) a fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance requirement and (ii) an event of default tied to any change of control as defined in the Loan Agreement.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company is in compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio maintenance requirement.

(Unaudited)

During certain periods in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 and continuing through the quarter ended September 30, 2014, the trading price of the iBio Stock was less than $0.88 for a period of fifteen (15) consecutive trading days.  However, PNC temporarily waived the requirement to sell the iBio Stock due to certain trading rules and restrictions under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  As of November 7, 2014, PNC has not required the Company to sell any of the iBio Stock but reserves the right to do so at any time in the future.

In October, 2013, when the Company delivered its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013 to PNC, as required under the Loan Agreement, the Company was required to make a prepayment in respect of loans outstanding under the Loan Agreement of approximately $293, representing 50% of Excess Cash Flows for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.  This payment, along with the scheduled monthly principal payments of $44 made by the Company in respect of the Term Loan through November 1, 2013 provided for principal payments of $1.0 million in the aggregate.
 
In connection with the Senior Credit Facility, each of E. Gerald Kay, an officer, director and major stockholder of the Company, and Carl DeSantis, a director and major stockholder of the Company and a member of CD Financial, LLC (“CD Financial”) (collectively, the “Guarantors”), entered into Continuing Limited Guarantees (collectively, the “Individual Guarantees”) with PNC whereby each Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the full, prompt and unconditional payment, when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Agreement and the other loan documents. The liability of each Guarantor under his respective Individual Guarantee is limited to a maximum of $1.0 million. The Individual Guarantees automatically terminate upon the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement.  These conditions included the Company repaying an aggregate amount of $1.0 million of principal on the Term Loan and the Company meeting a minimum EBITDA, as defined in the Loan Agreement, of $1.5 million for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013.  The Company met these requirements on November 1, 2013 and Mr. DeSantis and Mr. Kay were released as guarantors under the Individual Guarantees.

Also, in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, PNC and CD Financial entered into the Intercreditor and Subordination Agreement (the “Intercreditor Agreement”), which was acknowledged by the Borrowers, pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the lien of CD Financial on assets of the Borrowers is subordinated to the lien of PNC on such assets during the effectiveness of the Senior Credit Facility, and (b) priorities for payment of the debt for the Company and its subsidiaries (as described in this Note 5) are established.

In addition, in connection with the Senior Credit Facility, the following loan documents were executed: (i) a Stock Pledge Agreement with PNC, pursuant to which the Company pledged to PNC the iBio Stock; (ii) a Mortgage and Security Agreement with PNC with IHT Properties; and (iii) an Environmental Indemnity Agreement with PNC.

CD FINANCIAL, LLC TROUBLED DEBT RESTRUCTURING

On June 27, 2012, the Company also entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement (the “CD SPA”) with CD Financial, which amended and restated the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 21, 2008, between the Company and CD Financial, pursuant to which the Company issued to CD Financial a 9.5% Convertible Senior Secured Note in the original principal amount of $4,500 (the “Original CD Note”).  Pursuant to the CD SPA,  the Company issued to CD Financial (i) the Amended and Restated Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $5,350 (the “CD Convertible Note”) and (ii) the Promissory Note in the principal amount of $1,714 (the “Liquidity Note”, and collectively with the CD Convertible Note, the “CD Notes”). The CD Notes mature on July 7, 2017.

The proceeds of the CD Notes were used to refinance (a) the Original CD Note, (b) a $300,000 note issued by MDC to CD Financial which was assigned by MDC to the Company, (c) past due interest in the aggregate amount of $333 and (d) other expenses owed to CD Financial by the Company in the aggregate amount of approximately $217.

The CD Notes are secured by all assets of the Borrowers, including, without limitation, machinery and equipment, real estate owned by IHT Properties, and iBio Stock owned by the Company. The CD Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 6% and have a default rate of 10%.

The CD Convertible Note is convertible at the option of CD Financial into common stock of the Company at a conversion price of $0.65 per share, subject to customary adjustments including conversion price protection provisions.

Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement, during the effectiveness of the Senior Credit Facility, (i) the principal of the CD Convertible Note may not be repaid, (ii) the principal of the Liquidity Note may only be repaid if certain conditions under the Loan Agreement are satisfied, and (iii) interest in respect of the CD Notes may only be paid if certain conditions under the Intercreditor Agreement are satisfied.

The CD SPA contains customary representations and warranties, covenants and events of default, including, without limitation, an event of default tied to any change of control as defined in the CD SPA.

In connection with the CD SPA, the Borrowers entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement and Amended and Restated Subsidiary Guaranty.

As of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the related embedded derivative liability with respect to conversion price protection provisions on the CD Convertible Note has an estimated fair value of $503 and $717, respectively.

The Company used the following assumptions to calculate the fair value of the derivative liability using the Black-Scholes option pricing model:

OTHER LONG TERM DEBT

Related Party Debt.  On June 27, 2012, MDC and the Company entered into separate promissory notes with (i) Vitamin Realty Associates, LLC (“Vitamin Realty”), which is 100% owned by E.

Gerald Kay, in the principal amounts of approximately $686 (the “Vitamin Note”) and $27 (the “Kay Note”), respectively (collectively the “Related Party Notes”). The principal amount of the Vitamin Note represents the aggregate amount of unpaid, past due rent owing by MDC under the Lease Agreement, dated as of January 10, 1997, between MDC, as lessor, and Vitamin Realty, as landlord, pertaining to the real property located at 225 Long Avenue, Hillside, New Jersey.  (See Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies (a) Leases – Related Party Leases).  The Kay Note represents amounts owed to Mr. Kay for unreimbursed business expenses incurred by Mr. Kay in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.  The Related Party Notes mature on July 7, 2017 and accrue interest at an annual rate of 4% per annum. Interest in respect of the Related Party Notes is payable on the first business day of each calendar month.  Pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement, during the effectiveness of the Senior Credit Facility, the Related Party Notes may only be repaid or prepaid if certain conditions set forth in the Loan Agreement are satisfied.

Capitalized Lease Obligations.   On August 22, 2014, the Company entered into a capitalized lease obligation with Marlin Leasing in the amount of $47, which lease is secured by a certain machinery and equipment and matures on August 28, 2016.  The lease payment amount of approximately $2 is payable monthly and has an imputed interest rate of 5.6%.

On August 28, 2014, the Company entered into a capitalized lease obligation with Quantum Analytics in the amount of $138, which lease is secured by a certain machinery and equipment and matures on February 27, 2016.  The lease payment amount of approximately $8 is payable monthly and has an imputed interest rate of 0%.

Equipment Financing Note.   On September 22, 2014, MDC entered into a Convertible Line of Credit Note (the “LC Note”) in the amount of $350 with PNC Equipment Finance, LLC (“PNCEF”).  The LC Note is convertible into a term note upon completion of the advances under the LC Note.  During the period from September 22, 2014 to and including the Conversion Date (defined below), the Company may borrow up to the full value of the LC Note ($350).  The “Conversion Date” is the earliest to occur of (i) July 31, 2015 or (ii) the date when the Company notifies PNCEF that no more advances will be requested or (iii) the date when PNCEF has made advances in an aggregate amount of $350.  As of September 30, 2014, the Company has requested and received advances under the LC Note in the amount of $205.  Prior to the Conversion Date, amounts outstanding under the LC Note bear interest at a rate per annum (“Floating Rate”) which is at all times equal to the sum of LIBOR Rate plus 325 basis points (3.25%).  As of September 30, 2014, the Floating Rate was 3.4%.  On October 15, 2014, PNCEF advanced an additional $68 under the LC Note.  The Company is expecting to complete the advances no later than the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2015 and convert the LC Note to a three year term note, at which time the Company will have the option to elect a fixed rate of interest as offered by PNCEF on the Conversion Date.

These two customers are in the Company’s Contract Manufacturing Segment and represent approximately 63% and 26% and 72% and 15% of this Segment’s net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  A third customer in the Branded Nutraceutical Segment, while not a significant customer of the Company’s consolidated net sales, represented approximately 78% and 39% of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of the Branded Nutraceutical Segment. Accounts receivable from these customers represented approximately 81% and 74% of total net accounts receivable as of September 30 and June 30, 2014, respectively. The loss of any of these customers could have an adverse affect on the Company’s operations. Major customers are those customers who account for more than 10% of net sales.
 
(b) Other Business Risks. Approximately 63% of the Company’s employees are covered by a union contract and are employed in its New Jersey facilities. The contract was renewed in May 2012 and expires in August 2015.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Leases

Related Party Leases. Warehouse and office facilities are leased from Vitamin Realty, which is 100% owned by the Company’s chairman, president and major stockholder and certain of his family members, who are also executive officers and directors of the Company.  On January 5, 2012, MDC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a second amendment of lease (the “Second Lease Amendment”) with Vitamin Realty for its office and warehouse space in New Jersey increasing its rentable square footage from an aggregate of 74,898 square feet to 76,161 square feet and extending the expiration date to January 31, 2026.  This Second Lease Amendment provides for minimum annual rental payments of $533, plus increases in real estate taxes and building operating expenses.  On May 19, 2014, AgroLabs entered into an Amendment to the lease agreement entered into on January 5, 2012, with Vitamin Realty for an additional 2,700 square feet of warehouse space in New Jersey, the term of which was to expire on January 31, 2019 to extend the expiration date to January 1, 2024.  This additional lease provides for minimum lease payments of $27 with annual increases plus the proportionate share of operating expenses.
 
Rent expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 on these leases were $210 and $206 respectively, and are included in both cost of sales and selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2014, the Company had an outstanding obligation to Vitamin Realty of $858 and $902, respectively, included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities and long term debt in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Other Lease Commitments. The Company has entered into certain non-cancelable operating lease agreements expiring up through January 31, 2026, related to office and warehouse space, equipment and vehicles (inclusive of the related party lease with Vitamin Realty).

(b) Legal Proceedings.

The Company is subject, from time to time, to claims by third parties under various legal theories.  The defense of such claims, or any adverse outcome relating to any such claims, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial condition and cash flows.

(c) Other Claims.

On May 15, 2012, Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Cedarburg") sent the Company a letter (the "Demand Letter") setting forth a demand for indemnification under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 17, 2009 (the "Cedarburg SPA"), by and among Cedarburg, InB: Hauser Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., InB: Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Company.  In the Demand Letter, Cedarburg demanded payment by the Company of $0.6 million in respect of the Company's indemnification obligations under the Cedarburg SPA.  In addition, in the Demand Letter, Cedarburg informed the Company that there are also environmental issues pending which may lead to additional costs to Cedarburg which will likely be in excess of $0.3 million.

On May 30, 2012, the Company sent a letter responding to the Demand Letter and setting forth the Company’s position that it has no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded.  On June 18, 2012, Cedarburg responded to the Company’s letter and, on July 27, 2012, the Company sent another letter to Cedarburg reiterating its position that the Company has no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded.  On December 18, 2012, Cedarburg responded to the Company’s letter and, on January 15, 2013, the Company sent another letter to Cedarburg reiterating its position that the Company has no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded.   As of November 7, 2014, the Company has not received any further communication from Cedarburg with respect to its demand for indemnification as set forth in the Demand Letter.  The Company intends to vigorously contest Cedarburg's demand as set forth in the Demand Letter.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANICAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION

Certain statements set forth under this caption constitute “forward-looking statements.” See “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” on page 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional factors relating to such statements. The following discussion should also be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and Notes thereto included herein and the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.

The Company is engaged primarily in the manufacturing, distributing, marketing and sales of vitamins, nutritional supplements and herbal products. The Company’s customers are located primarily in the United States, Luxembourg and Canada.

Business Outlook

Our future results of operations and the other forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including this MD&A, involve a number of risks and uncertainties—in particular, the statements regarding our goals and strategies, new product introductions, plans to cultivate new businesses, pending divestitures, future economic conditions, revenue, pricing, gross margin and costs, the tax rate, and potential legal proceedings. We are focusing our efforts to improve operational efficiency and reduce spending that may have an impact on expense levels and gross margin. In addition to the various important factors discussed above, a number of other important factors could cause actual results to differ significantly from our expectations. See the risks described in “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
We continue to focus on our core businesses and maintaining our cost structure in line with our sales.  Our selling and administrative expenses were slightly lower in the three months ended September 30, 2014, by $85,000, compared to the same period a year ago.  This represents a decline of 9%, whereas our sales in the three months ended September 30, 2014 declined approximately 7% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.  The decrease of approximately $0.6 million was primarily in our Contract Manufacturing Segment ($0.5 million) due to lower sales to our major customer, Herbalife in the amount of $1.1 million which was offset, in part, by an increase in sales to our other major customer in this segment, Life Extensions, of $0.8 million.  Our sales to one of our largest customers has been adversely affected by currency controls in their Venezuelan business and product import controls in their Argentina business. At this time our customer does not expect the situation in either market to improve in the foreseeable future.

In our Branded Product Segment, we continue to maintain and strengthen the relationships developed in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, which were focused primarily in the international markets of Canada, Mexico and Asia.  We are also developing new products, including branded products for solid dosage, which will be manufactured by MDC and sold using our AgroLabs brand. We believe that this will increase sales and further leverage our fixed manufacturing and selling costs in each of these segments as we diversify our branded product offerings to our existing and prospective customers.  We forecasted that we would sell new items in our Canada market this three month period ended September 30, 2014, however, due to delays in the approval process of the labels and other artwork, the sales of these new items are expected to ship in our quarter ending on December 31, 2014.  Although we are not expecting the dollar amount to be significant to our consolidated net sales, this segment was successful in introducing new products to its existing customer base which should result in additional exposure of the AgroLabs brand.  For the three months ended September 30, 2014, our net sales in the Branded Product Segment increased by 16%, however, the margins on these sales decreased from approximately 20% to 2% due to the nature of these sales, as they were primarily to liquidators at reduced margins in order to sell through expiring products in our inventory.

In the three months ended September 30, 2014, our income from operations was approximately $0.4 million, which covered our debt service requirements and assists us in continuing to improve our days past due to suppliers and to pay our vendors on a more timely basis than we have been able to in the past.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies in the three months ended September 30, 2014. Critical accounting policies and the significant estimates made in accordance with them are regularly discussed by management with our Audit Committee. Those policies are discussed under “Critical Accounting Policies” in our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2014.
 
 
Results of Operations
 
Our results from operations in the following table, sets forth the income statement data of our results as a percentage of net sales for the periods indicated:
 

 



18

 
 
 

 

 
For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

Sales, net.   Sales, net, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were $8.6 million and $9.2 million, respectively, a decrease of 6.6%, and are comprised of the following:

 
For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 a significant portion of our consolidated net sales, approximately 81% and 79%, respectively, were concentrated among two customers, Herbalife and Life Extensions, customers in our Contract Manufacturing Segment.  Herbalife and Life Extensions represented approximately 63% and 26% and 72% and 15%, respectively of our Contract Manufacturing Segment’s net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The loss of any of these customers could have a significant adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.  Costco Wholesale Corporation (“Costco”) (a customer of our Branded Proprietary Products Segment), while not a significant customer of our consolidated net sales represented approximately 78% and 39% of net sales in the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively of the Branded Propriety Products Segment.

The decrease in net sales of approximately $0.6 million was primarily the result of:

·  
Net sales decreased in our Contract Manufacturing Segment by $0.5 million primarily due to a decrease in net sales volume to Herbalife of approximately $1.1 million (primarily in the international markets for Herbalife) offset by, in part, increased sales volumes to one of our major customers, Life Extensions, in the three months ended September 30, 2014, of approximately $0.8 million compared to the comparable prior period.
·  
Net sales in our Branded Nutraceutical Segment increased by approximately $47,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014, primarily as the result of the increased sales volume of $0.2 million to Costco.  These sales were offset by promotional costs and resulted in an increase of $150,000 in net sales from Costco.  Other customer sales in this segment decreased by approximately $90,000 as we were selling through short dated products at reduced pricing.
·  
Net sales in our Other Nutraceutical segments decreased by $0.1 million primarily as a result of decreased sales volumes to customers of IHT Health Products.

Cost of sales.   Cost of sales decreased by $0.3 million to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013.  Cost of sales increased as a percentage of sales to 84.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to 82.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease in the cost of goods sold amount, as well as the increase in the cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales, was primarily the result of the increased sales to Life Extension.  The cost of the raw materials for the Life Extension finished goods, on average, cost more per bottle than our other customers in the Contract Manufacturing Segment as they tend to use raw materials with trademarked characteristics which limits the ability to negotiate pricing.  A secondary cause is the production of more capsules than tablets.  There is a higher loss factor in the production of capsules than in tablets.  Our Contract Manufacturing Segment had a $0.3 million decrease in the cost of goods sold with the Branded Nutraceutical Segment increasing by $0.1 million (primarily as the result of increased sales and secondarily as the result of increased markdowns to inventory) and a decrease of $0.1 million in the Other Nutraceutical Segment as a result of decreased sales.

 
19
 
 
 

 

 
Selling and Administrative Expenses. There was a slight decrease in selling and administrative expenses of $85,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. As a percentage of sales, net, selling and administrative expenses were approximately 10% for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. No one expense within our selling and administrative expenses changed by more than $24,000.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net was approximately $17,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and is composed of:


The change in fair value of derivative liabilities was mainly the result of the decreased volatility in the closing trading price of our common stock from 88.5% as of June 30, 2014 to 79.4% of September 30, 2014.  The volatility of the closing trading price of our stock is one of the variables used to calculate the estimated fair value of our derivative liabilities associated with the underlying derivative instruments.

Federal and state income tax, net. For the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we had a state tax expense of approximately $29 and $43, respectively.  We continue to maintain a full reserve on our deferred tax assets as it has been determined that based upon past losses, the Company’s past liquidity concerns and the current economic environment, that it is “more likely than not” the Company’s deferred tax assets may not be realized.  The increase in the state tax expense from 2013 to 2014 was the result of MDC using all of its state net operating losses in the fiscal year ended 2013 tax period, all of our other subsidiaries still have adequate net operating losses for state income tax purposes to absorb any taxable income for state tax purposes.
 
Net income. Our net income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
 
Seasonality

The nutraceutical business tends to be seasonal. We have found that in our first fiscal quarter ending on September 30th of each year, orders for our branded proprietary nutraceutical products usually slow (absent the addition of new customers or a new product launch with a significant first time order), as buyers in various markets may have purchased sufficient inventory to carry them through the summer months. Conversely, in our second fiscal quarter, ending on December 31st of each year, orders for our products increase as the demand for our branded nutraceutical products, as well as sales orders from our customers in our contract manufacturing segment,  seem to increase in late December to early January as consumers become health conscious as they enter the new year.
 
20
 
 
 

 

 
The Company believes that there are other non-seasonal factors that also may influence the variability of quarterly results including, but not limited to, general economic and industry conditions that affect consumer spending, changing consumer demands and current news on nutritional supplements. Accordingly, a comparison of the Company’s results of operations from consecutive periods is not necessarily meaningful, and the Company’s results of operations for any period are not necessarily indicative of future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the Company’s net cash flows used in operating, investing and financing activities, its period end cash and cash equivalents and other operating measures:

 At September 30, 2014 and June 30, 2104, our working capital deficit was approximately $2.5 million. Our current assets and current liabilities each increased by approximately $1.3 million.

Net cash used in operating activities of $0.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, includes net income of approximately $0.4 million.  After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization, and changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, the adjusted cash provided from operations before the effect of the changes in working capital components was $0.3 million. Cash used in operations from our working capital assets and liabilities in the amount of approximately $0.8 million and was primarily the result of increases in inventories of $1.3 million and $0.1 million in each of accounts receivable and other current assets and offset, in part, by a net increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities of approximately $0.7 million each.
 
Net cash provided by operating activities of $0.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013, includes net income of approximately $0.3 million.  After excluding the effects of non-cash expenses, including depreciation and amortization, and changes in the fair value of derivative liabilities, the adjusted cash provided from operations before the effect of the changes in working capital components was $0.5 million. Cash was provided by operations from our working capital assets and liabilities in the amount of approximately $0.2 million and was the result of a decrease in accounts receivable of $0.4 million and offset, in part, by a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities and an increase in inventories of approximately $0.1 million each.
 
 
21

 
 
 

 
 
Cash used in investing activities was used for the purchase of machinery and equipment for approximately $0.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014, compared to using approximately $2,000 for the purchase of machinery and equipment in the three months ended September 30, 2013.
 
Cash provided from financing activities was approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014, $8.8 million from advances under our revolving credit facility and $0.2 million from proceeds under our convertible line of credit for equipment financing offset, in part, by repayments of advances under our revolving credit facility of $8.3 million and principal under our term note in the amount of $0.1 million.  Cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, $9.1 million for repayments under our revolving credit facility and repayments of principal under our term note in the amount of $0.1 million, offset by advances under our revolving credit facility of $8.9 million

As of September 30, 2014, we had cash of $0.3 million, funds available under our revolving credit facility of approximately $0.9 million and a working capital deficit of approximately $2.5 million. Our working capital deficit includes $4.6 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit which is not due until July 2017 but classified as current due to a subjective acceleration clause that could cause the advances to become currently due. (See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).  Furthermore, we had income from operations of approximately $0.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2014.  After taking into consideration our interim results and current projections, management believes that operations, together with the revolving credit facility will support our working capital requirements through the period ending September 30, 2015.

Our total annual commitments at September 30, 2014 for long term non-cancelable leases of approximately $599,000 consists of obligations under operating leases for facilities and operating lease agreements for the rental of warehouse equipment, office equipment and automobiles.

On May 15, 2012, Cedarburg Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Cedarburg") sent us a letter (the "Demand Letter") setting forth a demand for indemnification under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated March 17, 2009 (the "Cedarburg SPA"), by and among Cedarburg, InB: Hauser Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., InB: Paxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and the Company.  In the Demand Letter, Cedarburg demanded payment by us of $0.6 million in respect of the Company's indemnification obligations under the Cedarburg SPA.  In addition, in the Demand Letter, Cedarburg informed us that there are also environmental issues pending which may lead to additional costs to Cedarburg which will likely be in excess of $0.3 million.

On May 30, 2012, we sent a letter responding to the Demand Letter and setting forth our position that we have no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded.  On June 18, 2012, Cedarburg responded to our letter and, on July 27, 2012, we sent another letter to Cedarburg reiterating our position that we have no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded.  On December 18, 2012, Cedarburg responded to our letter and, on January 15, 2013, we sent another letter to Cedarburg reiterating our position that we have no obligation to indemnify Cedarburg as demanded. As of November 7, 2014, we have not received any further communication from Cedarburg with respect to its demand for indemnification as set forth in the Demand Letter.  We intend to vigorously contest Cedarburg's demand as set forth in the Demand Letter.

Capital Expenditures

The Company's capital expenditures for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were approximately $0.4 million ($0.2 million funded with capitalized lease financing) and $2,000, respectively.  The Company has budgeted approximately $0.5 million for capital expenditures for fiscal year 2015.  The total amount is expected to be funded from lease financing and cash provided from the Company’s operations.

 $350,000.00   September 22, 2014
 


Loan # 185394000 /185394001

FOR VALUE RECEIVED , INB:MANHATTAN DRUG COMPANY, INC.  (“Borrower”), with an address at 225 Long Ave., Hillside, NJ 07205, promises to pay to the order of PNC EQUIPMENT FINANCE, LLC (“Lender”), in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds at its offices located at  995 Dalton Avenue, Cincinnati, Ohio  45203, or at such other location as Lender may designate from time to time, the principal sum of THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ( $350,000.00 ) (“Facility”) or such lesser amount as may be advanced to or for the benefit of the Borrower hereunder prior to the Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined), together with interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance from the date hereof, all as provided below.

1.             Advance Procedures .   During the period from the date of this Note to and including the Conversion Date, the Borrower may borrow hereunder (but may not reborrow after repayment), subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the Loan Documents (as defined herein).

In no event shall the aggregate unpaid principal amount of advances under this Note exceed the face amount of this Note.  On the Conversion Date, the then-outstanding principal amount of advances hereunder shall convert to an amortizing term loan payable as set forth below.  The “Conversion Date” shall mean the earliest to occur of (a)7/31/ 2015, or such later date as may be designated by Lender by written notice from Lender to the Borrower, or (b) the date when Lender receives written notice from the Borrower (which notice shall be irrevocable) informing Lender that the Borrower does not intend to request further advances hereunder and acknowledging that Lender shall have no obligation to make further advances hereunder or (c)   the date when Lender has made advances hereunder which, in the aggregate, equal the face amount of this Note.  If permitted by Lender, a request for advance may be made by telephone or electronic mail, with such confirmation or verification (if any) as Lender may require in its discretion from time to time.  A request for advance by any Borrower shall be binding upon Borrower, jointly and severally.  The Borrower authorizes Lender to accept telephonic and electronic requests for advances, and Lender shall be entitled to rely upon the authority of any person providing such instructions.  The Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds Lender harmless from and against any and all damages, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) which may arise or be created by the acceptance of such telephonic and electronic requests or by the making of such advances.  Lender will enter on its books and records, which entry when made will be presumed correct, the date and amount of each advance, as well as the date and amount of each payment made by the Borrower.

2.           Rate of Interest .   Prior to the Conversion Date, amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at a rate per annum (“Floating Rate”) which is at all times equal to the sum of A) LIBOR Rate plus (B) three hundred twenty five (325) basis points (3.25%).   From and after the Conversion Date, amounts outstanding under this Note will bear interest at either (i) a rate per annum equal to the Floating Rate; or (ii) a fixed rate of interest per annum (“Fixed Rate”) as offered to the Borrower by Lender in its sole discretion, as agreed upon in writing between the Borrower and Lender, for the remaining term of this Note.  Interest hereunder will be calculated based on a 30 day calendar month of a 360 day year.  In no event will the rate of interest hereunder exceed the maximum rate allowed by law.

If Lender or the Bank determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the eurodollar market generally, deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to banks in the eurodollar market for the selected term, or adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate, then Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower.  Thereafter, until Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the interest rate for all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be equal to (A) the Base Rate. (“Alternate Rate”).
 
 
 
 

 

In addition, if, after the date of this Note, Lender or the Bank shall determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive) that any enactment, promulgation or adoption of or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by Lender or the Bank with any guideline, request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for Lender or the Bank to make or maintain or fund loans based on the LIBOR Rate, Lender shall notify the Borrower.  Upon receipt of such notice, until Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer apply, the interest rate on all amounts outstanding under this Note shall be the Alternate Rate.

For the purpose hereof, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

Bank means PNC Bank, National Association.
 
“Base Rate” shall mean the Prime Rate.  If and when the Base Rate (or any component thereof) changes, the rate of interest with respect to any advance bearing interest at the Floating Rate will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

“Business Day” shall mean any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday on which commercial banks are authorized or required to be closed for business in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“Contract Period”   means a period commencing on a Business Day and ending one month thereafter on the last day of the respective month, provided that (a) if any Contract Period otherwise would end on a day that is not a Business Day (a “Non-Business Day”), for purposes of determining any next adjustment to the LIBOR Rate hereunder only, it shall end instead on the next preceding day that is a Business Day as the last day (although any such adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be applied on the day following said Non-Business Day as the intended start of the next Contract Period), (b) if any Contract Period commences on a day for which there is no numerical equivalent in the calendar month in which that Contract Period is to end, it shall end on the last calendar day of that calendar month unless such a day is not a Business Day, in which case, for purposes of determining any next adjustment to the LIBOR Rate hereunder only, it shall end instead on the next preceding day that is a Business Day as the last day (although any such adjusted LIBOR Rate shall be applied on the day following said Non-Business Day as the intended start of the next Contract Period), and (c) the first Contract Period shall commence on the later of the date of this Note or the date of initial disbursement of any portion of the face amount hereof and each subsequent Contract Period, to the extent applicable, shall commence automatically and immediately on the last day of the preceding Contract Period.

 “LIBOR Rate” shall mean, for a Contract Period, the rate per annum determined by Lender by dividing (x) the Published Rate by (y) a number equal to 1.00 minus the percentage prescribed by the Federal Reserve for determining the maximum reserve requirements with respect to any Eurocurrency fundings by banks on such day.

“Prime Rate” shall mean the rate publicly announced by Lender from time to time as its prime rate.  The Prime Rate is determined from time to time by Lender as a means of pricing some loans to its borrowers.  The Prime Rate is not tied to any external rate of interest or index, and does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of interest actually charged by Lender to any particular class or category of customers.  If and when the Prime Rate changes, the Base Rate will change automatically without notice to the Borrower, effective on the date of any such change.

“Published Rate” shall mean the rate of interest published each Business Day in the Wall Street Journal “Money Rates” listing under the caption “London Interbank Offered Rates” for a one month period (or, if no such rate is published therein for any reason, then the Published Rate shall be the eurodollar rate for a one month period as published in another publication determined by Lender).

3.             Payment Terms .   Prior to the Conversion Date, interest only shall be due and payable in monthly installments commencing on ___________ __, 2014, and continuing on the same   day of each month thereafter until the Conversion Date, when all accrued interest shall be due and payable.  From and after the Conversion Date, principal and interest shall be due and payable as follows:

(a)           If after the Conversion Date this Note bears interest at the Fixed Rate, principal together with interest shall be payable in thirty-six (36) consecutive Monthly installments, each of which shall be   in an amount (the “Level Payment Amount”) sufficient to amortize the outstanding principal amount hereunder on the Conversion Date over a term of thirty-six (36) months, commencing on the _______ day of the month following the month in which the Conversion Date occurs, and continuing on the same day of each month thereafter until the thirty-six monthly anniversary of the Conversion Date   (the “Maturity Date”), at which time a final installment shall be payable in an amount equal to the remaining outstanding principal balance hereunder.  Any outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The Level Payment Amount will be calculated on the assumption that each periodic payment will be made on the date when due, and if there is any variation in the actual payment dates, there may be an additional amount due upon maturity of this Note.  Any amortization schedule provided to Borrower is only an estimate, and is superseded by the terms of this Note regarding the accrual and payment of interest; or

(b)           If after the Conversion Date this Note bears interest at the Floating Rate, principal shall be payable in thirty-six (36) equal consecutive Monthly installments, each of which shall be in an amount determined by dividing the outstanding principal amount hereunder on the Conversion Date by thirty-six (36), commencing on the ______   day of the month following the month in which the Conversion Date occurs, and continuing on the same   day of each month thereafter until the thirty-six monthly anniversary of the Conversion Date (the “Maturity Date”), at which time a final installment shall be payable in an amount equal to the remaining outstanding principal balance hereunder.  Interest shall be payable at the same times as the principal payments.  Any outstanding principal and accrued interest shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date.

If any payment under this Note shall become due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with such payment.  Payments received will be applied to charges, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), accrued interest and principal in any order Lender may choose, in its sole discretion.

4.             Late Payments; Default Rate .   If the Borrower fails to make any payment of principal, interest or other amount coming due pursuant to the provisions of this Note when due and payable, then Borrower also shall pay to Lender a late charge equal to 5% of the amount of such payment but not more than the maximum amount allowed by law (“Late Charge ).  Upon maturity, whether by acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at Lender’s option upon the occurrence of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) and during the continuance thereof, amounts outstanding under this Note shall bear interest at a rate per annum (based on the actual number of days that principal is outstanding over a year of 360 days) which shall be three percentage points (3%) in excess of the interest rate in effect from time to time under this Note but not more than the maximum rate allowed by law (“Default Rate”).  The Default Rate shall continue to apply whether or not judgment shall be entered on this Note.  Both the Late Charge and the Default Rate are imposed as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying Lender’s expenses incident to the handling of delinquent payments, but are in addition to, and not in lieu of, Lender’s exercise of any rights and remedies hereunder, under the other Loan Documents or under applicable law, and any fees and expenses of any agents or attorneys which Lender may employ.  In addition, the Default Rate reflects the increased credit risk to Lender of carrying a loan that is in default.  The Borrower agrees that the Late Charge and Default Rate are reasonable forecasts of just compensation for anticipated and actual harm incurred by Lender, and that the actual harm incurred by Lender cannot be estimated with certainty and without difficulty.

5.             Prepayment .   So long as no Event of Default under this Note has occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, upon 30 days’ prior written notice to Lender, prepay to Lender all amounts owed under this Note in full, but not in part, on any payment date, by paying the entire outstanding balance as of such prepayment date, all other amounts due and owing under this Note, plus the Cost of Prepayment, as provided for below.
 
3
 
 
 

 

The “Cost of Prepayment” shall be calculated as an amount equal to the following specified percentage, as such applies to the applicable payment installment number, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance owed under this Note;
 

A notice as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section given to the Borrower by Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and shall be payable upon demand. The Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive the payment in full of the outstanding balance and any other amounts.

6.   Increased Costs; Yield Protection .   On written demand, together with written evidence of the justification therefor, the Borrower agrees to pay Lender all direct costs incurred, any losses suffered or payments made by Lender as a result of any Change in Law (hereinafter defined), imposing any reserve, deposit, allocation of capital or similar requirement (including without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) on Lender, its holding company or any of their respective assets relative to the Facility.  “Change in Law” means the occurrence, after the date of this Note, of any of the following: (a) the adoption or taking effect of any law, rule, regulation or treaty, (b) any change in any law, rule, regulation or treaty or in the administration, interpretation, implementation or application thereof by any governmental authority or (c) the making or issuance of any request, rule, guideline or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any governmental authority; provided that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by Lender for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a “Change in Law”, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

7.             Break Funding Indemnification .  The Borrower agrees to indemnify Lender against any liabilities, losses or expenses (including, without limitation, loss of margin, any loss or expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, and any loss or expense incurred in connection with funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any advance (or any part thereof) bearing interest at a Fixed Rate) which Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of either (i) the Borrower’s failure to make a payment on the due date thereof, (ii) the Borrower’s revocation (expressly, by later inconsistent notices or otherwise) in whole or in part of any notice given to Lender to request, convert, renew or prepay any advance bearing interest at a Fixed Rate, or (iii) the Borrower’s payment or prepayment (whether voluntary (unless allowed for under this Note), after acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise) or conversion of any advance bearing interest at a Fixed Rate on a day other than the regularly scheduled due date therefor.  A notice as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section given to the Borrower by Lender shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and shall be payable upon demand.  The Borrower’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall survive the payment in full of the advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

8.             Other Loan Documents .   This Note is issued in connection with any letter agreement or loan agreement between the Borrower and Lender, dated on or before the date hereof, and the other agreements and documents executed and/or delivered in connection therewith and herewith or referred to therein, or herein, including, without limitation, the Incorporated Documents, as defined below, the terms of which are all incorporated herein by reference (as amended, modified or renewed from time to time, collectively “Loan Documents”), and is secured by the property (if any) described in the Loan Documents and by such other collateral as previously may have been or may in the future be granted to Lender to secure this Note.

9.             Incorporation Of Covenants By Reference; Cross Termination .   Any and all representations and warranties, and any and all affirmative, negative and financial covenants which may be set forth in any credit agreement, loan agreement, promissory note, guaranty or other agreement, instrument or document entered into between Borrower (or any of its affiliates), as borrower, and any affiliate of Lender, as lender (whether directly as a lender to Borrower or as one lender in a bank syndicate agreeing to lend to the Borrower, or as holder of a participation in a loan by another lender to Borrower) (“Incorporated Documents”), are hereby incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth herein at length, as any of the foregoing may be amended or supplemented from time to time (“Incorporated Provisions”).  Any amendments, modifications, waivers or other changes in the terms of any of the Incorporated Provisions shall automatically constitute an amendment to this Note without any need for further action or documentation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such changes to any Incorporated Provision which operate to waive or prevent the occurrence of a default or Event of Default under any Incorporated Document shall not be effective unless consented to in writing by Lender in its sole discretion.  If any Incorporated Document terminates or otherwise ceases to be in full force and effect (“Termination”), all of the Incorporated Provisions of such Incorporated Document shall survive the Termination and shall continue in full force and effect as a part of this Note.  At any time after a Termination, Borrower shall promptly, upon Lender’s request, execute and deliver to Lender an amendment to this Note, which amendment will expressly incorporate into this Note all or any number of the Incorporated Provisions of the terminated Incorporated Document as Lender, in its sole discretion, shall select, as such Incorporated Provisions are in effect immediately prior to the date of Termination.  Further, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Termination of any Incorporated Document for any reason shall constitute an Event of Default under this Note, entitling Lender, at its option, to terminate this Note and to accelerate the payment of all amounts due hereunder.

(b)            Insurance.   Grantor will keep the Collateral consisting of Inventory, Equipment, Goods and Fixtures insured with such insurers, in such amounts and against all risks to which they may be exposed, as each shall be reasonably acceptable to PNCEF, which policies shall name PNCEF as an additional insured and shall contain satisfactory loss payable clauses in favor of PNCEF and contain insurer's agreement that any loss thereunder shall be payable to PNCEF notwithstanding any action, inaction, or breach of representation or warranty by Grantor.  Annually and upon PNCEF's request, Grantor will deliver to PNCEF certificates evidencing such policies and, upon request, include copies of such policies.  Grantor hereby assigns to PNCEF any returned or unearned premium due upon cancellation of any such insurance and directs any insurer to pay to PNCEF all amounts so due.  Each policy for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid on behalf of Grantor and PNCEF as their interests may appear and each policy for property damage shall provide for losses to be paid to PNCEF.  All amounts received by PNCEF in payment of insurance losses or returned or unearned premiums may, at PNCEF's option, be applied either to the Subject Obligations (with such allocation as to item and maturity as PNCEF may deem advisable) or to the repair, replacement or restoration of the Collateral or either thereof.

 4.           Provisions Applicable to Accounts.

(a)           Unless and until PNCEF shall have made demand upon Account Debtors to make their payments directly to PNCEF, Grantor shall have the right in the ordinary course of business to collect the Accounts and to grant such waivers and consents to, and to enter into such compromises with, and otherwise deal with Account Debtors in respect of the Accounts as Grantor in good faith may from time to time deem advisable.

(b)           Grantor will provide PNCEF immediate written notice whenever any Account (i) arises out of a contract with or order from the United States of America or any department, agency or instrumentality thereof or (ii) does not take the form of an "account" and is evidenced by a promissory note, letter of credit, lease or any similar instrument, Chattel Paper or General Intangible.

(c)           PNCEF may arrange for verification of Accounts with Account Debtors.

(d)           At any time and from time to time by giving prior written notice to Grantor, PNCEF shall have the right to:

(i)           enforce all of Grantor's rights against Account Debtors, including, without limitation, instructing Account Debtors, at Grantor's expense, to make their payments directly to PNCEF; and

(ii)           require Grantor to instruct Account Debtors to mail their payments to a post office lockbox which PNCEF shall maintain at Grantor's expense and to which only PNCEF shall have access and control.  If Grantor shall receive any payment on such Account, it will hold the amount so received in trust for the benefit of PNCEF and promptly remit it to PNCEF in the form received with necessary endorsements.

(e)           All payments received by PNCEF in respect of the Accounts shall be deposited either to (i) any of Grantor's general checking accounts with PNCEF or (ii) a cash collateral account which shall bear no interest and over which PNCEF shall have sole dominion and control and from which only PNCEF may withdraw funds, whichever option PNCEF shall from time to time elect by giving Grantor written notice thereof.  PNCEF shall have no responsibility to determine if payment is the correct amount owing.  Each such deposit shall be subject to PNCEF's general rules and regulations except to the extent, if any, inconsistent with this Agreement.

(f)           PNCEF may withdraw all funds from the cash collateral account as are from time to time "collected."  All funds so withdrawn shall be applied to the payment of the Subject Obligations with such allocation as to item and maturity as PNCEF in its discretion may deem advisable (except that so long as no Event of Default exists or no demand has been made, PNCEF shall not apply any such withdrawal to any Subject Obligations that is not then due and payable without first obtaining Grantor's consent).  If any funds so withdrawn and applied are recovered from PNCEF by any trustee in bankruptcy or anyone else or are discovered not to have been "collected" and collection thereof is denied to PNCEF, PNCEF shall reverse any such application to the extent the funds are recovered from or not collected by PNCEF.  PNCEF in its discretion may from time to time release to Grantor (or to Grantor's order) all or any of the funds then held in the cash collateral account, but no such release or releases shall commit PNCEF thereafter to make any further or other such releases.

(g)           Grantor irrevocably authorizes and directs each Account Debtor to honor any demand by PNCEF that all payments in respect of the Accounts thereafter be paid directly to PNCEF.  In each such case Account Debtor may continue directing all such payments to PNCEF until Account Debtor shall have received written notice from PNCEF either that the Subject Obligations has been paid in full or that PNCEF has released its security interest.  No Account Debtor shall have any responsibility to inquire into PNCEF's right to make any such demand or to follow PNCEF's disposition of any moneys paid to PNCEF by Account Debtor.

(h)           PNCEF may enforce payment, at Grantor's expense, of the Accounts by suit or otherwise (at Grantor's expense), but PNCEF shall have no duty to institute any suit or to take any other action to enforce the Accounts (or take action against or realize on any security therefor) or, having started any such suit or action, thereafter to continue the same.  PNCEF shall have full power and authority to execute and deliver such vouchers and receipts in respect of the Accounts, such endorsements of checks and such other writings in respect of the foregoing as PNCEF may from time to time deem advisable and shall have full power and authority to sign Grantor's signature to all such vouchers, receipts, endorsements and other writings whenever PNCEF deems such action advisable.

 5.             Provisions Applicable to Inventory.

(b)           Grantor shall not permit any Inventory to be evidenced by any warehouse receipt or other document of title (other than any bill of lading or similar document covering merchandise that has been sold in the ordinary course of business) or by any lease, conditional sales agreement or other Chattel Paper of any kind.

 6.             Provisions Applicable to Motor Vehicles.   If any part of the Collateral shall be a motor vehicle for which a certificate of title may or must be issued, Grantor shall deliver to PNCEF (together with any other documentation requested by PNCEF), promptly after such certificate of title is issued to Grantor, the certificate of title together with such other documentation requested by PNCEF appropriately executed by Grantor so that PNCEF may cause its Encumbrance to be noted on the certificate of title by the appropriate authorities.

 7.             Additional Authorizations.   PNCEF is hereby appointed Grantor's attorney-in-fact to make adjustments of all insurance losses, to sign all applications, receipts, releases and other papers necessary for the collection of any such loss and any return or unearned premium, to execute proofs of loss, to make settlements, to endorse and collect any check or other item payable to Grantor issued in connection therewith, and to apply the same to the Subject Obligations.

(c)            If the Borrower defaults under any Obligations, the Guarantor will pay the Guaranteed Obligations due to PNCEF.

2.             Nature of Guaranty; Waivers .   This is a guaranty of payment and performance, and not merely of collection and PNCEF shall not be required or obligated, as a condition of the Guarantor's liability, to make any demand upon or to pursue any of its rights against the Obligor, or to pursue any rights which may be available to it with respect to any other person who may be liable for the payment of the Obligations.

This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, and PNCEF has terminated this Guaranty.  This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect even if there is no principal balance outstanding under the Obligations at a particular time or from time to time.  This Guaranty will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance, compromise or release by PNCEF of any other party, or any other guaranty or any security held by it for any of the Obligations, by any failure of PNCEF to take any steps to perfect or maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any security or other guaranty thereof.  The Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall not be affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have (directly or indirectly) against the Obligor or PNCEF, except payment or performance of the Obligations.

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to the Obligor from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment, and any defense based upon PNCEF's failure to comply with the notice requirements under Sections 9-611 and 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time are hereby waived.  The Guarantor waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

PNCEF at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantor's liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Obligor in such order, manner and amount as PNCEF may determine in its sole discretion; (d) settle, compromise or deal with any other person, including the Obligor or the Guarantor, with respect to any Obligations in such manner as PNCEF deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any security or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein.

3.             Repayments or Recovery from PNCEF .   If any demand is made at any time upon PNCEF for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if PNCEF repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, the Guarantor will be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by PNCEF.  The provisions of this section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Guarantor in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to PNCEF's rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

4.             Financial Statements .   Unless compliance is waived in writing by PNCEF or until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, the Guarantor will promptly submit to PNCEF such information relating to the Guarantor’s affairs (including but not limited to annual financial statements and tax returns for the Guarantor) or any security for the Guaranty as PNCEF may reasonably request.

5.             Enforceability of Obligations .   No modification, limitation or discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantor's liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantor to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted.  The Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the Obligor that may result from any such proceeding.

6.             Events of Default .   The occurrence of any of the following shall be an “Event of Default” :  (i) any Event of Default (as defined in any of the Obligations); (ii) any default under any of the Obligations that does not have a defined set of “Events of Default” and the lapse of any notice or cure period provided in such Obligations with respect to such default; (iii) demand by PNCEF under any of the Obligations that have a demand feature; (iv) the Guarantor’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder; (v) the falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Guarantor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to PNCEF by or on behalf of the Guarantor; or (vi) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (a) the Guarantor shall pay to PNCEF the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (b) on demand of PNCEF, the Guarantor shall immediately deposit with PNCEF, in U.S. dollars, all amounts due or to become due under the Guaranteed Obligations, and PNCEF may at any time use such funds to repay the Guaranteed Obligations; or (c) PNCEF in its discretion may exercise with respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (d) PNCEF in its discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.

7.             Right of Setoff .   In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the Guarantor’s money, securities or other property given to PNCEF by law, PNCEF shall have, with respect to the Guarantor's obligations to PNCEF under this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff against, and the Guarantor hereby grants PNCEF a security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and transfers to PNCEF all of the Guarantor's right, title and interest in and to, all of the Guarantor’s deposits, moneys, securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to, PNCEF or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise, excluding, however, all IRA, Keogh, and trust accounts.  Every such security interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantor.  Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of PNCEF, although PNCEF may enter such setoff on its books and records at a later time.

8.             Collateral .   This Guaranty is secured by the property described in any collateral security documents which the Guarantor executes and delivers to PNCEF and by such other collateral as previously may have been or may in the future be granted to PNCEF to secure any obligations of the Guarantor to PNCEF.

9.             Costs .   To the extent that PNCEF incurs any costs or expenses in protecting or enforcing its rights under the Obligations or this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys' fees and the costs and expenses of litigation, such costs and expenses will be due on demand, will be included in the Guaranteed Obligations and will bear interest from the incurring or payment thereof at the Default Rate (as defined in any of the Obligations).

10.             Postponement of Subrogation .   Until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, expire, are terminated and are not subject to any right of revocation or rescission, the Guarantor postpones and subordinates in favor of PNCEF or its designee (and any assignee or potential assignee) any and all rights which the Guarantor may have to (a) assert any claim whatsoever against the Obligor based on subrogation, exoneration, reimbursement, or indemnity or any right of recourse to security for the Obligations with respect to payments made hereunder, and (b) any realization on any property of the Obligor, including participation in any marshalling of the Obligor's assets.

11.             Power to Confess Judgment .  The Guarantor hereby empowers any attorney of any court of record, after the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder, to appear for the Guarantor and, with or without complaint filed, confess judgment, or a series of judgments, against the Guarantor in favor of PNCEF or any holder hereof for the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations and an attorney's commission of the greater of 10% of such principal and interest or $1,000 added as a reasonable attorney's fee, and for doing so, this Guaranty or a copy verified by affidavit shall be a sufficient warrant.  The Guarantor hereby forever waives and releases all errors in said proceedings and all rights of appeal and all relief from any and all appraisement, stay or exemption laws of any state now in force or hereafter enacted.

No single exercise of the foregoing power to confess judgment, or a series of judgments, shall be deemed to exhaust the power, whether or not any such exercise shall be held by any court to be invalid, voidable, or void, but the power shall continue undiminished and it may be exercised from time to time as often as PNCEF shall elect until such time as PNCEF shall have received payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and costs.  Notwithstanding the attorney’s commission provided for in the preceding paragraph (which is included in the warrant for purposes of establishing a sum certain), the amount of attorneys’ fees that PNCEF may recover from the Guarantor shall not exceed the actual attorneys’ fees incurred by PNCEF.

12.             Notices .   All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications required or permitted hereunder ( “Notices” ) must be in writing and will be effective upon receipt.  Notices may be given in any manner to which PNCEF and the Guarantor may separately agree, including electronic mail.  Without limiting the foregoing, first-class mail, facsimile transmission and commercial courier service are hereby agreed to as acceptable methods for giving Notices.  Regardless of the manner in which provided, Notices may be sent to  addresses for PNCEF and the Guarantor as set forth above or to such other address as either may give to the other  for such purpose in accordance with this section.

13.             Preservation of Rights .   No delay or omission on PNCEF's part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will PNCEF's action or inaction impair any such right or power.  PNCEF's rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which PNCEF may have under other agreements, at law or in equity.  PNCEF may proceed in any order against the Obligor, the Guarantor or any other obligor of, or any collateral securing, the Obligations.

14.             Illegality .   If any provision contained in this Guaranty should be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, it shall not affect or impair the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

15.             Changes in Writing .   No modification, amendment or waiver of, or consent to any departure by the Guarantor from, any provision of this Guaranty will be effective unless made in a writing signed by PNCEF, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, PNCEF may modify this Guaranty for the purposes of completing missing content or correcting erroneous content, without the need for a written amendment, provided that PNCEF shall send a copy of any such modification to the Guarantor (which notice may be given by electronic mail).  No notice to or demand on the Guarantor will entitle the Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstance.

21.             Governing Law and Jurisdiction .   This Guaranty has been delivered to and accepted by PNCEF and will be deemed to be made in the State of Delaware (the “State” ).   This Guaranty will be interpreted and the rights and liabilities of PNCEF and the Guarantor determined in accordance with the laws of the State, excluding its conflict of laws rules.   The Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the county or judicial district of the State; provided that nothing contained in this Guaranty will prevent PNCEF from bringing any action, enforcing any award or judgment or exercising any rights against the Guarantor individually, against any security or against any property of the Guarantor within any other county, state or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction.  The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the venue provided above is the most convenient forum for both PNCEF and the Guarantor.  The Guarantor waives any objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient forum in any action instituted under this Guaranty.
