Dear Shareholder:

Shareholders of GeoPharma, Inc. are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the shareholders of GeoPharma, Inc. to be held at GeoPharma’s offices at 6950 Bryan Dairy Road, Largo, Florida 33777 on August 10, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Shareholders of Dynamic Health Products, Inc. are cordially invited to attend a special meeting of the shareholders of Dynamic Health Products, Inc. to be held at GeoPharma’s offices at 6950 Bryan Dairy Road, Largo, Florida 33777 on August 10, 2007 at 11:00 a.m. local time.

The board of directors of GeoPharma, Inc. (“GeoPharma”) and Dynamic Health Products, Inc. (“Dynamic Health”) have approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization by and among GeoPharma, Florida Merger Subsidiary Corp., (“DYHP Acquisition” or “Florida MergerSub”) and Dynamic Health. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, DYHP Acquisition, will be merged with and into Dynamic Health and Dynamic Health will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoPharma. DYHP Acquisition, a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoPharma, is a corporation that was incorporated solely to facilitate the merger. As further described in this proxy statement/prospectus, at the special meeting you will be asked to consider and vote upon a proposal to adopt and approve the Agreement and Plan of Recognition.

As further described in this proxy statement/prospectus, in the merger, each Dynamic Health shareholder will receive the right to one share of GeoPharma’s common stock in exchange for every seven outstanding shares of Dynamic Health common stock immediately prior to the completion of the merger.

Dynamic Health’s common stock is listed on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the trading symbol “DYHP.” On June 27, 2007, the closing sale price of Dynamic Health’s common stock was $0.57. Based on that closing price and GeoPharma’s closing price, and the 1/7th exchange ratio, the value of the per share consideration to be received by Dynamic Health shareholders would be $0.57.

The respective boards of directors and special committees of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health have determined that the merger is fair to and in the best interests of their respective shareholders and have unanimously approved the merger agreement, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Accordingly, the board of directors of GeoPharma and Dynamic each recommend that the shareholders of their respective companies vote “FOR” adoption of the merger agreement.

Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of shares you own. The merger cannot be completed unless the merger agreement is adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Dynamic Health and by the vote of a majority of the votes cast by GeoPharma’s shareholders either in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present at the meeting.

Because the affirmative vote required for Dynamic Health to adopt the merger agreement is based upon the total number of outstanding shares of Dynamic Health’s common stock, the failure to vote by proxy or in person or the abstention from voting by a shareholder will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” adoption of the merger agreement.

Dynamic Health has concluded that Dynamic Health shareholders are or may be entitled to assert appraisal rights. A copy of the sections of the Florida Statutes relating to appraisal rights are attached to the proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

The accompanying notice of special meeting, proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card explain the proposed merger and provide specific information concerning the special meeting. Please read these materials carefully. In particular, please read “Risk Factors” beginning on page 11. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, DYHP Acquisition will be merged with and into Dynamic Health and Dynamic Health will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoPharma. DYHP Acquisition is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoPharma and is a corporation that was incorporated solely to facilitate the merger.

Table of Contents
Q: Who can vote at the special meeting?

 

A: You can vote at the special meeting if you owned shares of GeoPharma or Dynamic Health common stock at the close of business on June 25, 2007, the record date for the special meeting. As of the close of business on that day, 11,285,231 shares of GeoPharma were outstanding and 16,691,860 shares of Dynamic Health were outstanding.

 

Q: What do I need to do now?

 

A: After carefully reading and considering the information contained in this proxy statement/prospectus, please complete, sign and date your proxy and return it in the enclosed postage-paid return envelope as soon as possible, so that your shares may be represented at the special meeting. If you sign and send in your proxy and do not indicate how you want to vote, we will count your proxy as a vote in favor of adoption of the merger agreement.

The failure by the holder of any shares of Dynamic Health to submit a proxy or to vote in person at the special meeting, including abstentions and broker non-votes, will have the same effect as if such shareholder voted “AGAINST” the adoption of the merger agreement.

 

Q: Can I change my vote after I have mailed my signed proxy?

 

A: Yes. You can change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the special meeting. You can do this in one of three ways. First, you can send a written notice stating that you would like to revoke your proxy. Second, you can complete and submit a new valid proxy bearing a later date by mail. If you choose to send a written notice or to mail your new proxy, you must submit your notice of revocation or your new proxy to GeoPharma 6950 Bryan Dairy Road, Largo, Florida 33777, Largo, Florida, Attention: Secretary if you are a shareholder of GeoPharma or to Dynamic Health 12399 Belcher Road South, Suite 140 Largo, Florida 33773, Attention: Secretary, if you are a shareholder of Dynamic Health. Third, you can attend the special meeting and vote in person. Attendance at the special meeting will not in and of itself constitute revocation of a proxy.

 

Q: If my GeoPharma or Dynamic Health shares are held in “street name” by my broker, will my broker vote my shares for me?

 

A: Your broker will vote your shares only if you provide instructions on how to vote. You should follow the directions provided by your broker regarding how to instruct your broker to vote your shares. Without instructions, your shares will not be voted.

 

Q: Is the merger expected to be taxable to me?

 

A: The merger has been structured to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a result of the merger’s qualification as a reorganization, Dynamic Health shareholders will not recognize gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of shares of Dynamic Health common stock for shares of GeoPharma common stock, except with respect to an additional share received in lieu of fractional shares of GeoPharma common stock.

You should read “The Merger—Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger” of this proxy statement/prospectus for a more complete discussion of United States federal income tax consequences of the merger. Tax matters can be complicated and the tax consequences of the merger to you will depend on your particular tax situation. You should consult your tax advisor to determine the tax consequences of the merger to you.

Table of Contents
Q: When do you expect the merger to be completed?

 

A: We are working to complete the merger as quickly as possible. It is anticipated that the merger will be completed in the third calendar quarter of 2007. However, it is possible that factors outside our control could require us to complete the merger at a later time or not complete it at all.

 

Q: Can I dissent and require appraisal of my shares?

 

A: Yes. Dynamic Health shareholders as of the record date for the special meeting are entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal under the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”). Pursuant to the FBCA, a Dynamic Health shareholder who does not wish to accept the shares of GeoPharma common stock to be received pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement may dissent from the merger and elect to receive the fair value of his shares as of the day before to the effective date of the merger. In order to exercise appraisal rights, a dissenting Dynamic Health shareholder must strictly comply with the statutory procedures of the FBCA, which are summarized elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. A copy of the full text of the statutory procedures is attached hereto as Annex C. Dynamic Health shareholders are urged to read Appendix C in its entirety and consult with their legal advisors, and cautioned that failure to adhere strictly to the requirements of Florida law, in any regard, will cause a forfeiture of any appraisal rights. You should also read “Rights of Dissenting Shareholders” and “Procedures for Exercising Dissenter’s Rights or Appraisal” for a more complete discussion.

 

   GeoPharma’s shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal.

SUMMARY

This summary highlights selected information from this proxy statement/prospectus and may not contain all the information that is important to you. To understand the merger fully and for a more complete description of the legal terms of the merger, you should carefully read this entire proxy statement/prospectus and the other documents to which we refer you, including, in particular, the copies of the merger agreement and the opinion of Spartan Securities Group, Ltd. (Spartan) that are attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annexes A and B, respectively. See also “Where You Can Find More Information”.

General

What Dynamic Health Shareholders Will Receive in the Merger

In the merger, holders of Dynamic Health common stock will receive, for each seven shares of common stock they own, one share of GeoPharma common stock (the “Exchange Ratio”). The GeoPharma common stock to be received in the merger is referred to as the “merger consideration” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Treatment of Stock Options

On the effective date of the merger, all options to purchase Dynamic Health common stock then outstanding under Dynamic Health’s 1999 Stock Option Plan (“Company Option Plans”), as amended, and all warrants to purchase common stock of Dynamic Health shall be assumed by GeoPharma and will continue to have and be subject to the same terms and conditions of such options or warrants immediately prior to the merger except that (i) each Dynamic Health Stock Option and each Dynamic Health Warrant will be exercisable (or will become exercisable in accordance with its terms) for that number of whole shares of GeoPharma Common Stock equal to the product of the number of shares of Dynamic Common Stock that were issuable upon exercise of such Dynamic Stock Option or Dynamic Warrant (assuming full vesting), as applicable, immediately prior to the effective date of the merger multiplied by the Exchange Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares of Dynamic Common Stock, (ii) the per share exercise price for the shares of Dynamic Common Stock issuable upon exercise of such assumed Dynamic Health Stock Option or Dynamic Health Warrant will be equal to the quotient determined by dividing the exercise price per share of Dynamic Health’s Common Stock at which such Dynamic Health Stock Option or Dynamic Warrant, as applicable, was exercisable immediately prior to the effective date of the merger by the Exchange Ratio, rounded up to the nearest whole cent and (iii) all vesting period with respect thereto shall, to the extent provided by the terms thereof, accelerate. It is intended that the Company Stock Options assumed by GeoPharma qualify following the effective date of the merger as incentive stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

Ownership of GeoPharma Following the Merger

Based on the number of outstanding shares of Dynamic Health common stock on the Dynamic Health record date and the number of outstanding shares of GeoPharma’s common stock on the GeoPharma record date, we anticipate that Dynamic Health shareholders will own approximately 22.6% of the outstanding shares of GeoPharma’s common stock following the merger assuming the issuance of approximately 3.3 million shares of GeoPharma common stock to the shareholders of Dynamic Health in the merger.

Material United States Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Merger

GeoPharma and Dynamic Health have structured the merger to qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. If the merger qualifies as a reorganization, a Dynamic Health shareholder

Table of Contents

generally will not recognize any gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes upon the exchange of its shares of Dynamic Health common stock for shares of GeoPharma common stock. In lieu of issuing fractional shares, any shareholder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share as a result of the exchange will receive upon surrender of such holder’s stock certificate one share of GeoPharma’s common stock.

Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the particular U.S. federal, state or local or foreign income or other tax consequences to them of the merger.

Recommendation of the boards of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health

After careful consideration, the boards of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health have each determined that the merger is fair to and in the best interests of the shareholders of their respective companies and have unanimously approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the merger and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.

Opinion of Spartan Securities Group

Spartan Securities Group, Ltd., (“Spartan”) delivered its opinion to the Dynamic Health board of directors that, as of the date of its opinion and based upon and subject to the assumptions made, matters considered and limits of the review undertaken by it, the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization consideration to be received by the holders of Dynamic Health shares (other than GeoPharma and its affiliates) pursuant to the proposed merger agreement was fair, from a financial point of view, to such shareholders.

The full text of Spartan’s written opinion, dated May 9, 2007, is attached as Annex B to this proxy statement/prospectus. Dynamic Health shareholders are encouraged to read Spartan’s opinion carefully in its entirety, including the description of the assumptions made, procedures followed, factors considered and limitations upon the review undertaken by Spartan in rendering its opinion. The opinion addresses only the fairness of the merger consideration to Dynamic Health shareholders from a financial point of view, does not address the merits of the underlying decision by Dynamic Health to engage in the merger and does not constitute a recommendation to any Dynamic Health shareholder as to how to vote on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement.

Interests of Dynamic Health Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger

You should be aware that some of Dynamic Health’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger and may have arrangements that are different from, or in addition to, those of the Dynamic Health shareholders generally. The Dynamic Health board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the agreement and Plan of Reorganization and the merger.

You should also beware that some of GeoPharma’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger and may have arrangements that are different from, or in addition to, those of the GeoPharma shareholders generally. GeoPharma’s board of directors were aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in reaching its decision to approve the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and the merger.

Comparison of Rights of Common Shareholders of GeoPharma and Common Shareholders of Dynamic Health

Dynamic Health shareholders, whose rights are currently governed by the Dynamic Health articles of incorporation, as amended (the “Dynamic articles of incorporation”), the Dynamic Health by-laws (the “Dynamic Health by-laws”) and Florida law, will, upon completion of the merger, become shareholders of GeoPharma and their rights will be governed by the articles of GeoPharma (the “GeoPharma articles of incorporation”), the GeoPharma by-laws (the “GeoPharma by-laws”) and Florida law.

RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information included and incorporated by reference in this information/prospectus, the following should be considered:

Risks Related to the Merger

The price of GeoPharma’s common stock may be affected by factors different from those affecting the price of Dynamic’s common stock.

Upon completion of the merger, holders of Dynamic’s common stock will become holders of GeoPharma’s common stock. GeoPharma’s business, results of operations and prospects and the price of GeoPharma’s common stock may be affected by factors different than those affecting Dynamic Health’s business, results of operations and prospects and the price of Dynamic Health’s common stock. For a discussion of GeoPharma’s and Dynamic’s businesses and factors to consider in connection with such businesses, see GeoPharma’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and Dynamic Health’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, each of which is incorporated by reference in this proxy statement/prospectus.

The integration of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health following the merger may present significant challenges.

GeoPharma and Dynamic Health may face significant challenges in combining their operations in a timely and efficient manner. The failure to integrate GeoPharma and Dynamic successfully and to manage successfully the challenges presented by the integration process may result in GeoPharma not achieving the anticipated potential benefits of the merger.

GeoPharma will incur transaction, integration and restructuring costs in connection with the merger.

GeoPharma and Dynamic expect to incur costs associated with transaction fees and other costs related to the merger. Specifically, GeoPharma expects to incur approximately $200,000 for transaction costs related to the merger, which costs are expected to be recorded as a component of the purchase price. In addition, GeoPharma will incur integration and restructuring costs following the completion of the merger as GeoPharma integrates the businesses of Dynamic Health with those of GeoPharma. Although GeoPharma and Dynamic Health expect that the realization of efficiencies related to the integration of the businesses will offset incremental transaction, merger-related and restructuring costs over time, GeoPharma cannot give any assurance that this net benefit will be achieved in the near term.

GeoPharma is controlled by its officers, directors, and principal shareholders.

GeoPharma’s directors, executive officers and principal shareholders and their affiliates beneficially own approximately 43% of GeoPharma’s issued and outstanding common stock. Accordingly, GeoPharma’s executive officers, directors, principal shareholders and certain of their affiliates may determine the approval of the merger by GeoPharma. Additionally, Jugal K. Taneja, the chairman of GeoPharma’s board, Mihir Taneja, our Chief Executive Officer, Secretary and a member of our board of directors, Kotha Sekharam, our President and a member of our Board of Directors, and William LaGamba, a member of our board of directors, are all shareholders of Dynamic Health and also shareholders of GeoPharma. As a result, their interests may be different than other GeoPharma shareholders.

Risks Related to GeoPharma’s Business

New or amended government regulation could adversely impact GeoPharma’s business and operations.

GeoPharma may be subject to additional laws or regulations by the Food and Drug Administration or other federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities, subject to the repeal of laws or regulations which we consider

 

11


Table of Contents

favorable, such as the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or subject to more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations, from time to time in the future. We are unable to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. We also can not predict what effect these regulations, and the related publicity from promulgation of such regulations, could have on consumer perceptions related to the nutraceutical market in which we operate. Such regulations, if promulgated, may be significantly more rigorous than currently applicable regulations and contain quality assurance requirements similar to Good Manufacturing Practices regulations for drug products. Therefore, we may be required to expend additional capital resources on upgrading manufacturing processes and/or equipment in the future in order to comply with the law. The Food and Drug Administration or other governmental regulatory bodies could require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, the recall or discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, imposition of additional record keeping requirements, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products and expanded or different labeling and scientific substantiation. Any or all of such requirements could have a materially adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Our failure to comply with applicable Food and Drug Administration regulatory requirements could result in, among other things, injunctions, product withdrawals, recalls, product seizures, fines, and possible criminal prosecutions.

GeoPharma’s business may experience significant volatility in quarterly earnings and common stock value which could result in significant volatility on the price of our common stock.

Our quarterly operating results could fluctuate due to many factors, including:

 

   

trends and general conditions in the pharmacy and health product industry, our ability to recognize these trends and market new products that effectively respond to them;

 

   

our introduction of new products;

 

   

our competitors’ introduction of new products;

 

   

the loss of one or more significant customers;

 

   

increased media attention on the use and efficacy of dietary supplements;

 

   

consumers’ perceptions of our products and operations, or those of our competitors; and

 

   

the availability of raw materials from our suppliers.

Our failure to produce operating results that meet securities analysts’ or investor expectations in one or more quarters may materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock and our business.

GeoPharma’s online services may not be able to attract and maintain business to business customers which could negatively impact our revenue.

Our web site competes with both e-commerce and traditional shopping methods for dietary, health and beauty care and pharmaceutical products. Due to this competition, we may not be able to convert customers from traditional shopping methods or draw them from our online competitors. Among other things, our potential customers may be concerned with shopping at our web site due to shipping costs, delivery time, product availability, credit security, confidentiality, and customer service.

The unavailability of additional funds when needed could adversely impact our business and operations because we may not have sufficient funds to expand our operations.

Management believes that cash expected to be generated from operations, current cash reserves, and existing financial arrangements will be sufficient for us to meet our capital expenditures and working capital

 

12


Table of Contents

needs for our operations as presently conducted. In addition, we require more significant capital to expand operations or complete cash based acquisitions. If cash flows from operations, current cash reserves and available credit facilities are not sufficient, it will be necessary for us to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to us.

GeoPharma’s business is susceptible to product liability claims which could force us to curtail our business operations.

We inherently face the risk of product liability claims based on injuries caused by the use of our products. In the event that we do not have adequate insurance, product liability claims relating to our products may materially and adversely affect our business.

There are no clinical studies documenting our products’ long-term effects, so we cannot be assured that such products are beneficial or safe in the long-term.

Although many of the ingredients in our dietary supplements are vitamins, minerals, herbs and other substances with a long history of human consumption, some of these products contain ingredients without such a history. In addition, although the ingredients contained in our products are approved by various regulatory agencies, there is little long-term experience with human consumption of some of these product ingredients in concentrated form. We cannot assure that our products, even when used as directed, will have the intended effects or that they will not have harmful side effects. Such unintended effects may result in adverse publicity or product liability claims that may materially and adversely affect our business.

GeoPharma’s products have limited trademark protection which could allow other companies to replicate them which could result in decreased sales of our products.

Our policy is to pursue registrations for all of the trademarks associated with our key proprietary products. We rely on common law trademark rights to protect our unregistered trademarks as well as our trade dressrights. Generally, common law trademark rights are limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used, while a United States federal trademark registration enables the registrant to stop the unauthorized use of the trademark by any third party anywhere in the United States. We intend to register our trademarks in certain foreign jurisdictions where our products are sold. We cannot assure that the protection available in such jurisdictions, if any, will be as extensive as the protection available to us in the United States. In addition, because we have no patents on our proprietary products, another company may replicate them. Inadequate trademark and patent protection of our proprietary products may materially and adversely affect our business.

Sales of generic drugs at lower prices than GeoPharma charges may reduce our revenue because we sell fewer products or have to reduce our prices or both.

Certain manufacturers have introduced or partnered with other companies to introduce generic pharmaceutical products which they are sometimes able to sell at lower prices than we can. Such actions have the effect of reducing the potential market share and profitability of generic products developed by the us and may inhibit us from developing and introducing generic pharmaceutical products comparable to certain brand name drugs. This price competition has led to an increase in customer demand for downward price adjustments by the manufacturers of generic pharmaceutical products, us. As a result our revenues could decrease and our gross margins may decrease.

GeoPharma may face liability for our web site content which may not be covered by insurance, causing us to fund such expenses.

We may face potential liability for negligence, trademark, copyright, patent and other claims based on the content we post on our web site. We may also face potential liability for unauthorized duplication of other

 

13


Table of Contents

parties’ web content or proprietary technology. In the event that such liability arises, our general liability insurance may not cover all liability stemming from potential claims of this type. Any such liability that our insurance does not fully cover could materially and adversely affect our business.

The unavailability of raw materials when needed could delay the production of GeoPharma’s products and adversely impact our revenue.

Since the federal drug application process requires specification of raw material suppliers as related to the production of generic drugs, if raw materials from a specified supplier were to become unavailable, FDA approval of a new supplier would be required. A delay of six months or more in the manufacture and marketing of the drug involved while a new supplier becomes qualified by the FDA and its manufacturing process is found to meet FDA standards could, depending on the particular product, delay the production of the product and have an adverse impact on our revenue.

If GeoPharma does not get FDA approval, we will not be able to manufacture certain drugs, which would adversely impact our revenue.

We plan to submit generic drug human and animal ANDA for the FDAs approval to manufacture generic drugs for animals and humans in the future. We cannot predict, nor guarantee, that the FDA will approve any or all applications submitted, nor can we predict when such applications will be reviewed or approved. Failure for the FDA to approve certain generic drug products as they are submitted by us could have an adverse effect on future revenues, cash flows and financial position.

An unfavorable judgment or settlement may hurt GeoPharma’s financial condition.

Litigation concerning patents and proprietary rights is possible and often expensive. Pharmaceutical companies with patented brand products are increasingly suing companies that produce generic forms of their patented brand name products for alleged patent infringement or other violations of intellectual property rights, which may delay or prevent the entry of such generic products into the market. There is a risk that a branded pharmaceutical company may sue the filing person for alleged patent infringement or other manufacturing, developing and/or selling the same generic pharmaceutical products may similarly file lawsuits against us or our strategic partners claiming patent infringement or invalidity. Such litigation is time consuming, and could result in a substantial delay in, or prevent, the introduction and/or marketing of products, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

GeoPharma’s insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all risk exposure.

We have maintained our insurance coverage for our directors and officers, general liability insurance, and product liability insurance at levels deemed adequate by our Board of Directors. We can not guarantee that these same levels of insurance, at premiums acceptable to us, will be available in the future. As related to product liability insurance, a reduction in coverage or an exclusion for one or more key raw materials, may adversely affect our ability to continue our business as currently conducted. In addition, a loss of one or more of any of these insurance policies, or a claim-related loss in excess of insured limits will adversely affect our ability to continue our business as currently conducted.

GeoPharma may not be able to fulfill its growth strategy if we are unable to consummate future acquisitions.

We expect to pursue additional acquisitions in the future as a part of our business strategy. We cannot assure that attractive acquisition opportunities will be available to us or that we will be able to obtain funds necessary for future acquisitions. If we are unable to consummate future acquisitions, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected.

Exposure to Natural Disaster Could Result in Unforeseen Expenses or Disruptions to Our Business.

One of our facilities is located in the greater Tampa Bay, Florida area, which is prone to hurricanes. Our business could be adversely affected should our ability to distribute products be impacted by such event.

Risks Relating to Dynamic Health’s Business

Consolidation in the Health and Nutritional Product Distribution Industry May Make It More Difficult for Dynamic Health to Compete with Larger Companies, We May be Required to Sell Products At Prices Below Our Profit Margin.

The health and nutritional product distribution industry is subject to significant economic factors, including consolidation of our competitors. Some of our competitors are consolidating to create integrated delivery systems with greater market presence and negotiation power with manufacturers. As the health and nutritional product distribution industry consolidates, competition for customers will become more intense and the importance of acquiring each customer will become greater. A forced reduction in our prices to meet these challenges may reduce our operating margins and increase our losses.

Dynamic Health Relies on Strategic Relationships to Generate Revenue, the Loss of Which Would Cause Our Revenues to Decrease.

Our success relies on establishing and maintaining strategic relationships with leaders in the health and nutritional product distribution industry. We believe that these relationships will enable us to extend our distribution, obtain specialized industry expertise, and increase overall revenue. We may be unable or unwilling to establish such relationships due to preexisting relationships that these market leaders or we have with other competitors. Furthermore, our strategic relationships may change rapidly in the event that current or future partners decide to compete with us. Consequently, we intend to maintain independence from any particular customer or partner through the use of oral agreements rather than written contracts. Consequently, these agreements may be terminated by the customers at any time. If we lose the right to distribute products under such agreements, we may lose the ability to market certain of our products. Our inability to establish or maintain our strategic relationships may reduce our revenues and increase our losses from operations.

Dynamic Health’s Business is Subject to Government Regulation, the Failure to Comply with Which Could Result in Significant Penalties.

The packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution and sale of our products are all subject to extensive regulation by numerous federal, state and other government agencies. Because of the broad language of the laws applicable to our business, it is difficult for us to remain in strict compliance. If we fail to or are unable to comply with applicable laws and governmental regulations, our business could be adversely affected.

Dynamic Health’s Business Depends Upon Third Party Manufacturers, the Loss or Unavailability of Which Would Require Us to Find Substitute Manufacturers, Resulting in Delays in Production and Additional Expenses.

Many of our products are produced for us by third party manufacturers. We cannot assure that these manufacturers will provide the products we need, in the quantities we request, or at a price we are willing to pay. In general, we do not maintain written agreements with these manufacturers. Because of the lack of such agreements, there can be no assurance that products we need will be available. Our inability to obtain adequate supplies of product from third party manufacturers at favorable prices, or at all, may increase our expenses and reduce our operating margins, resulting in increased losses.

Dynamic Health’s Products Have Limited Trademark Protection, Which Could Permit Others to Market Similar Products, Resulting in Decreased Sales by Dynamic Health.

Our policy is to pursue registration of all of the trademarks associated with our key proprietary products. We rely on common law trademark rights to protect our unregistered trademarks as well as our trade dress rights. Generally, common law trademark rights are limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used, while a United States federal trademark registration enables the registrant to stop the unauthorized use of

 

15


Table of Contents

the trademark by any third party anywhere in the United States. Although sales outside the United States currently constitute less than 1% of our revenues, we intend to register our trademarks in certain foreign jurisdictions where our products are sold. We cannot assure that the protection available in such jurisdictions, if any, will be as extensive as the protection available to us in the United States. In addition, because we have no patents on our proprietary products, another company may replicate them. Inadequate trademark and patent protection of our proprietary products may reduce sales of our products.

Dynamic Health’s Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws Contain Provisions that May Discourage Takeovers or Make Them More Difficult, Regardless of Whether or Not Such a Takeover Would Be Advantageous for Our Shareholders.

Certain provisions of our articles of incorporation and bylaws, as well as certain sections of the Florida Business Corporation Act, and our board of directors’ ability to issue shares of preferred stock and to establish voting rights, preferences and other terms of our stock, may be deemed to have an anti-takeover effect and may discourage takeover attempts that are not first approved by our board of directors. This anti-takeover effect may discourage takeovers which shareholders may deem to be in their best interests.

Possible Adverse Publicity About Dynamic Health’s Products Could Adversely Affect Sales of These Products.

We are dependent on consumers’ perceptions and may be adversely affected by publicity associated with illness or other adverse effects from the consumption of our products (or similar products distributed by other companies) and future reports of research that are perceived as less favorable or that question earlier research. Future scientific research or publicity may not be favorable to the dietary supplement industry or to any particular product, and may not be consistent with earlier favorable research or publicity. We are highly dependent upon consumers’ perceptions of the safety and quality of our products as well as dietary supplements distributed by other companies. Thus, the mere publication of reports asserting that those products may be harmful or questioning their efficacy could adversely affect us regardless of whether such reports are scientifically supported or whether the claimed harmful effects would be present at the dosages recommended for such products.

Dynamic Health is Exposed to Product Liability Claims, Which Could Create a Substantial Liability.

We face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that the use of our products results in injury. Dynamic Health’s management believes that Dynamic Health has adequate insurance, but if it does not, product liabilities relating to our products could adversely affect us. Although many of the ingredients in our products are vitamins, minerals, herbs and other substances for which there is a long history of human consumption, some of our products contain ingredients for which no such history exists. In addition, although our management believes all of our products are safe when taken as directed, there is little long-term experience with human consumption of certain of these product ingredients in concentrated form. Accordingly, we cannot assure that our products, even when used as directed, will have the effects intended or will not have harmful side effects. Any such unintended effects may result in adverse publicity or product liability claims that could adversely affect us.

Dynamic Health Must Develop New Products to Remain Competitive.

Products currently experiencing strong popularity and rapid growth may not maintain their sales over time. As a result, it will be important for us to be able to develop or acquire new products. We cannot assure that our efforts to develop or acquire new products will be successful.

Competition is Intense and Could Force Dynamic Health to Lower Pricing and Margins.

The wholesale product distribution industry is highly competitive. Numerous companies, many of which have greater size and greater financial, personnel, distribution, marketing and other resources than Dynamic

 

16


Table of Contents

Health, compete with us in the development, marketing and distribution of our products. Competition from such companies could have a material adverse effect on us. We also face competition in both the health food store and mass market distribution channels from private label products offered by sports nutrition product and performance drink manufacturers and distributors, health and natural food store chains, drugstore chains, mass merchandisers and supermarket chains.

Dynamic Health’s Products Could Infringe on Intellectual Property Rights of Others.

Although we seek to ensure that we do not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot assure that third parties will not assert intellectual property claims against us. Infringement claims by third parties against us may have a material adverse affect on our business.

The Loss of a Significant Customer Could Result in a Substantial Decrease in Dynamic Health’s Revenues.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, 11% of consolidated revenues were received from one customer, DPS Nutrition Inc., representing a concentration of credit risk. If our major customers substantially reduced their volume of purchases from us, our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be materially adversely affected.

Dynamic Health May Grow In Excess of Our Ability to Manage Such Growth, Which Could Result in Inefficiencies.

We believe that continued growth may strain our management, operations, sales and administrative personnel and other resources. In order to serve the needs of existing and future customers we intend to increase our workforce. Our ability to manage further growth depends in part upon our ability to expand our operating, management, information and financial systems, which may significantly increase our future operating expenses. We cannot assure that our business will grow in the future or that we will be able to effectively manage our growth.

Possible Future Acquisitions May be Difficult to Assimilate and Adequate Funding May Not be Available.

Dynamic Health expects to pursue additional acquisitions in the future as a part of our business strategy if the merger is not consumated. We cannot assure that attractive acquisition opportunities will be available to us or that we will be able to obtain financing for future acquisitions. If we are unable to consummate future acquisitions, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected.

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including the risk that the acquired business will not perform in accordance with expectations, difficulties in the integration of the operations and products of the acquired businesses with our business, the diversion of management’s attention from other aspects of our business, the risks associated with entering geographic and product markets in which we have limited or no direct prior experience, and the potential loss of key employees of the acquired business arising out of such acquired business. Future acquisitions would likely require additional financing, which would likely result in an increase in our indebtedness or the issuance of additional capital stock, which may be dilutive to our shareholders.

Dynamic Health is controlled by its officers, directors and principal shareholders.

Dynamic Health’s directors, executive officers, family members and affiliates beneficially own approximately 65% of the outstanding shares of Dynamic Health common stock. Therefore, these shareholders will have significant control over the approval of the merger. Additionally, our chairman Jugal K Taneja, is also the chairman of the board of directors, and a shareholder of GeoPharma, Mihir K. Taneja, a principal shareholder of Dynamic Health, is the Chief Executive Officer, Secretary, a member of the board of directors and a

shareholder of GeoPharma, Kotha S. Sekharam, a director and shareholder of Dynamic Health, is the president, a member of the board of directors and a shareholder of GeoPharma William L. LaGamba, a principal shareholder of Dynamic Health, is a director and shareholder of GeoPharma. As a result, their interests may be different than other Dynamic Health shareholders.

Exposure to Natural Disaster Could Result in Unforeseen Expenses or Disruptions to Our Business.

One of our facilities is located in the greater Tampa Bay, Florida area, which is prone to hurricanes. Our business could be adversely affected should our ability to distribute products be impacted by such event.

SELECTED UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following selected unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is based upon GeoPharma’s and Dynamic Health’s historical consolidated financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, and has been prepared to reflect the proposed merger based on the purchase method of accounting. The historical consolidated financial information has been adjusted to give effect to pro forma events that are directly attributable to the merger or considered intercompany transactions and factually supportable. The selected unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is derived from the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements contained elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.” The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on March 31, 2007. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2007 gives effect to the merger as if it had occurred on April 1, 2006.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information is presented for informational purposes only. The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of what the financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the merger been completed at the dates indicated. In addition, the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of GeoPharma after completion of the merger. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes of the respective companies.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information was prepared using the purchase method of accounting with GeoPharma treated as the acquiror. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not give effect to any potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies that could result from the merger. In addition, GeoPharma’s cost to acquire Dynamic Health will be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition. The allocation is dependent upon valuations and other studies that have not progressed to a stage where there is sufficient information to make a definitive allocation. Accordingly, the purchase price allocation pro forma adjustments are preliminary and have been made solely for the purpose of providing unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus. In the opinion of management of GeoPharma, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma data.

THE SPECIAL MEETING

Date, Time and Place

This proxy statement/prospectus is being mailed to GeoPharma and Dynamic Health shareholders on or about July 5, 2007 in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health for use at the special meeting of shareholders to be held at 6950 Bryan Dairy Road, Largo, FL 33777 on August 10, 2007 at 10:00 a.m., local time, for GeoPharma and 11:00 a.m., local time, for Dynamic Health, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Purpose of the Special Meeting

Shareholders of GeoPharma will consider and vote upon approving the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, including the issuance of shares of common stock of GeoPharma in exchange for the outstanding shares of Dynamic Health common stock and to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any properly reconvened meeting following an adjournment or postponement thereof.

The GeoPharma board of directors and a Special Committee have determined that the merger and issuance of shares of GeoPharma’s common stock in exchange for the shares of Dynamic Health’s shareholders is fair to and in the best interest of the GeoPharma shareholders and have unanimously approved the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, the issuance of GeoPharma’s common stock in exchange for the issued and outstanding shares of Dynamic Health and the other transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization. Accordingly, the GeoPharma board of directors and the Special Committee recommend that the GeoPharma shareholders vote for approving the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, including the issuance of shares of GeoPharma’s common stock in connection with the agreement and plan of reorganization.

Shareholders of Dynamic Health will consider and vote upon the proposal to adopt the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization and to transact such other business as may properly come before the meeting or any properly reconvened meeting following an adjournment or postponement thereof.

The Dynamic Health board of directors have determined that the merger is fair to and in the best interests of the Dynamic Health shareholders, and have unanimously approved the agreement and plan of reorganization and the other transactions contemplated by the agreement and plan of reorganization. Accordingly, the Dynamic Health board of directors recommend that the Dynamic Health shareholders vote “FOR” the adoption of the merger agreement.

Record Date; Required Vote; Quorum

The close of business on June 25, 2007 has been fixed as the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the special meeting and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. As of the record date, there were outstanding 11,285,231 shares of GeoPharma common stock and 16,691,860 shares of Dynamic Health common stock.

The approval and adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, including the issuance of shares of GeoPharma’s common stock pursuant to the agreement and plan of reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by GeoPharma’s shareholders who held their shares on the record date either in person or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present at the meeting. Shareholders will be entitled to one (1) vote per share of GoePharma common stock on all matters submitted for a vote at the special meeting.

The approval and adoption of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares of Dynamic Health common stock issued and outstanding on the record date. Shareholders will be entitled to one (1) vote per share of Dynamic Health common stock on all matters submitted for a vote at the special meeting.

 

28


Table of Contents

The presence at the special meeting, in person or by proxy, of shareholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes that all shareholders are entitled to cast at the special meeting will constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes (described below) are counted in determining whether a quorum is present. A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner. Abstentions and broker non-votes, because they are not treated as votes cast, in the case of tabulating the votes at Dynamic’s special meeting, will have the same effect as votes “AGAINST” the proposal to adopt the agreement and plan of reorganization.

Shares Owned by GeoPharma and Dynamic Health Directors and Executive Officers

On the GeoPharma Record Date, directors and executive officers of GeoPharma beneficially owned and were entitled to vote approximately 4,868,091 shares of GeoPharma common stock, which represented approximately 43.1% of the shares of GeoPharma common stock outstanding on that date. GeoPharma currently expects that GeoPharma’s directors and officers will vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the agreement and plan of reorganization at the special meeting, although none of them has entered into any agreement obligating them to do so. For information regarding the beneficial ownership of GeoPharma common stock by certain beneficial owners and each GeoPharma director and executive officer. See, “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of GeoPharma” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

On the Dynamic Health Record Date, directors and executive officers of Dynamic Health beneficially owned and were entitled to vote approximately 7,804,524 shares of Dynamic Health common stock, which represented approximately 46.8% of the shares of Dynamic Health common stock outstanding on that date. Dynamic Health currently expects that its directors and officers will vote their shares in favor of the adoption of the agreement and plan of reorganization at the special meeting, although none of them has entered into an agreement to do so. For information regarding the beneficial ownership of Dynamic Health common stock by certain beneficial owners and each Dynamic director and executive officer. See “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management of Dynamic Health” elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus.

Voting of Proxies

This proxy statement/prospectus is being sent to GeoPharma and Dynamic Health shareholders on behalf of the board of directors of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health for the purpose of requesting that you allow your shares of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health common stock to be represented by the persons named in the enclosed proxy cards. All shares of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health common stock represented at the meeting by properly executed proxy cards will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated on that proxy. If you sign and return a proxy card without giving voting instructions, your shares will be voted as recommended by the board of directors of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health.

The board of directors of Dynamic Health recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization.

If you hold shares of record as a registered shareholder, please follow the voting instructions included on the enclosed proxy card. If your shares are held in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you will need to obtain instructions from the institution that holds your shares and follow the instructions included on that form regarding how to instruct your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares. Many such firms make telephone and/or Internet voting available, but the specific processes available will depend on those firms’ individual arrangements.

Table of Contents

Even if you plan to attend the special meeting, GeoPharma and Dynamic Health recommend that you submit your proxy so that your vote will be counted even if you later decide not to attend the meeting. In addition, please note that if your shares are held in “street name,” and you wish to vote at the special meeting, you must bring to the special meeting a proxy from the record holder of the shares authorizing you to vote at the special meeting.

Neither GeoPharma nor Dynamic Health expects that any matter other than the proposals discussed herein will be presented at the special meeting. If, however, any other matter is properly presented at the special meeting or any properly reconvened meeting following an adjournment or postponement of the special meeting, the persons named as proxies in the proxy card will use their own judgment to determine how to vote your shares.

Revocability of Proxies

You may revoke your proxies at any time prior to the time the vote is taken at the special meeting. To revoke your proxy, you must either submit a signed notice of revocation to GeoPharma if you are a shareholder of GeoPharma at 6950 Bryan Dairy Road, Largo, Florida 33777 attention Secretary, or if you are a shareholder of Dynamic Health and wish to revoke your vote, to Dynamic Health at 12399 Belcher Road South, Suite 140, Largo, Florida 33773 attention Secretary; submit a later-dated proxy or attend the special meeting and vote your shares in person. Attendance at the special meeting does not by itself constitute the revocation of a proxy. If your shares are held in “street name,” you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee in accordance with the procedures established by them. Please contact your broker, bank or other nominee and follow its directions in order to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Solicitation of Proxies

The board of directors of GeoPharma is soliciting proxies from its shareholders and the board of directors of Dynamic Health is soliciting proxies from its shareholders. Each of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health will pay its own fees and expenses in connection with the merger. However, GeoPharma shall pay all fees and expenses incurred in relation to the filing, printing and mailing of this proxy statement/prospectus, unless the merger agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7.1 of the merger agreement, in which case GeoPharma and Dynamic Health shall share equally the expenses. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding in their names shares of GeoPharma or Dynamic Health common stock beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. Persons representing beneficial owners of GeoPharma or Dynamic Health common stock may be reimbursed for their costs of forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners. In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, directors, officers or employees of GeoPharma and Dynamic Health may solicit proxies personally and by telephone, email or otherwise. None of these persons will receive additional or special compensation for soliciting proxies.

Rights of Dissenting Shareholders

Dynamic Health shareholders as of the record date for the special meeting are entitled to dissenters’ rights of appraisal under the Florida Business Corporation Act (“FBCA”). Pursuant to the FBCA, a Dynamic Health shareholder who does not wish to accept the shares of GeoPharma common stock to be received pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement may dissent from the merger and elect to receive the fair value of his shares as of the day before to the effective date of the merger. Such fair value is exclusive of any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the merger, unless exclusion would be inequitable. GeoPharma shareholders are not entitled to dissenters’ rights in connection with the merger.

In order to exercise appraisal rights, a dissenting Dynamic Health shareholder must strictly comply with the statutory procedures of Sections 607.1301 through 607.1333 of the FBCA, which are summarized below. A copy of the full text of those Sections is attached hereto as Annex C. Dynamic Health shareholders are urged to read Annex C in its entirety and consult with their legal advisors, and cautioned that failure to adhere strictly to the requirements of Florida law in any regard will cause a forfeiture of any appraisal rights.

 

30


Table of Contents

Procedures for Exercising Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal.

The following summary of Florida law is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the provisions of the FBCA attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

 

  1. A dissenting shareholder must file with Dynamic Health, prior to the taking of the vote on the merger, a written notice of intent to demand payment for his or her shares if the merger is completed. A vote against the merger will not alone be deemed to be the written notice of intent to demand payment. A dissenting shareholder need not vote against the merger, but cannot vote for the merger.

 

  2. If the merger is completed, then within 10 days after the effective date of the merger, GeoPharma must send a written appraisal notice to each dissenting Dynamic Health shareholder specifying the effective date of the merger and providing a form with which the shareholder may state the shareholder’s name and address, the number, class and series of shares with respect to which the shareholder asserts appraisal rights, that the shareholder did not vote in favor of the merger, whether the shareholder accepts GeoPharma’s cash offer for the shareholder’s shares, and, if the offer is not accepted, the shareholder’s estimate of the fair value of the shares and a demand for payment of the shareholder’s estimated value plus interest. See the Form of Appraisal Notice attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.

The appraisal notice form must include GeoPharma’s estimate of the fair value of the Dynamic Health shares with respect to which the shareholder has exercised dissenter’s rights and an offer to pay that amount for the shares. The notice must also state where the form must be sent, the date by which it must be received, and the place at and date by which certificates for the shares must be delivered, together with a notice that the shareholder’s appraisal rights will have been waived unless the form is received by that date. Additionally, the form must state that, if requested in writing, GeoPharma will provide within 10 days the number of shareholders who have returned appraisal notices and the total number of shares owned by them. The notice must be accompanied by Dynamic Health’s balance sheet, income and cash flow statements for its most recently completed fiscal year and the latest available interim period.

 

  3. A shareholder who wishes to exercise appraisal rights must complete and return the appraisal notice form and deposit the certificates for his shares in accordance with the instructions contained in the form and by the date specified. A shareholder who fails to comply with these procedures is not entitled to payment under these provisions of the FBCA. A shareholder who complies with these procedures may nevertheless withdraw from the appraisal process by notifying GeoPharma in writing prior to the last date for withdrawal specified in the appraisal notice. Unless a notice of withdrawal is made timely, a shareholder loses all rights of a shareholder except for payment of the fair value of his shares and may thereafter withdraw from the appraisal process only with the consent of GeoPharma.

 

  4. If a dissenting shareholder accepts GeoPharma’s offer as set forth in the appraisal notice, GeoPharma must make such payment to the shareholder within 90 days after its receipt of the shareholder’s notice, and, upon such payment, the shareholder ceases to have any interest in the shares. If the shareholder does not accept GeoPharma’s offer, he must notify GeoPharma of his own estimate of the fair value of the shares and demand payment of that amount plus interest. A shareholder who fails to make such demand within the time frame specified in the FBCA is entitled only to payment in the amount of GeoPharma’s offer.

 

  5.

The costs and expenses of any court appraisal proceeding are determined by the court and will be assessed against GeoPharma except that all or any part of such costs and expenses may be apportioned and assessed against any dissenting shareholders who are parties to the proceeding if the court finds their refusal to accept GeoPharma’s offer to have been arbitrary, vexatious or not in good faith. Expenses include reasonable compensation for, and expenses of, appraisers appointed by the court. The court may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the parties in amounts the court finds equitable and may charge such fees and expenses against any party that failed to comply with the

 

31


Table of Contents
 

appraisal procedures or that acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith. If the court finds that the services of counsel for any shareholder were of substantial benefit to other similarly situated shareholders, the court may such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the shareholders who were benefited by such services. If GeoPharma fails to make the required payment to a shareholder who has accepted GeoPharma’s offer, such shareholder may sue for the amount owed and, to the extent successful, recover all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel’s fees.

Because of the complexity of the provisions of the Florida law relating to dissenters’ appraisal rights, Dynamic Health shareholders who are considering dissenting from the merger are urged to consult their own legal advisers.

THE MERGER

Background to the Merger

Reasons for the Merger

GeoPharma’s board of directors and a special committee have determined that the merger is fair to and in the best interests of GeoPharma and its shareholders and, by the unanimous written consent of all the directors of GeoPharma approved and adopted the merger agreement and the merger. In reaching its decision to approve the merger agreement, merger and the other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement and to unanimously recommend that GeoPharma’s shareholders approve and adopt the merger agreement, each of the GeoPharma board of directors and the Special Committee considered the information provided to it, analyzed the terms of the merger agreement, considered a variety of factors, a number of which are summarized below, consulted with members of GeoPharma’s executive management and its financial and other advisors regarding the strategic and operational aspects of the merger and the results of the due diligence efforts undertaken by GeoPharma and consulted with GeoPharma’s legal advisors regarding the duties of the members of the GeoPharma board of directors and the terms of the merger agreement. GeoPharma’s board of directors and Special Committee also considered that GeoPharma’s directors and executive officers have interests in the merger and have arrangements that are different from, or in addition to, those of the GeoPharma’s shareholders generally. Potential benefits to GeoPharma’s and its shareholders, employees, partners and customers identified by the GeoPharma board of directors and Special Committee include the following:

the belief, based on presentations by GeoPharma’s legal and financial advisors, that the terms and conditions of the merger agreement are generally customary for transactions such as the merger;

 

   

whether strategic alternatives to the merger would enhance long-term shareholder value; and

 

   

the results of due diligence investigations of GeoPharma by management and legal and other advisers.

GeoPharma’s board of directors and the Special Committee also considered and balanced against the potential benefits of the merger a number of potentially negative factors, including the following:

 

   

the risk that the merger would not be consummated and the effect of the public announcement of the merger on GeoPharma’s sales and operating results, suppliers, creditors and customers;

Dynamic Health’s predecessor, Direct Rx, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“Direct Rx”), was formed in 1992.

On July 1, 1997, Direct Rx acquired the remaining shares of Nu-Wave. In January 1998, Direct Rx changed its domicile from Ohio to Florida. After the domicile change, Dynamic Health changed its name to Direct Rx Healthcare, Inc., and later to Dynamic Health Products, Inc., its current name.

Dynamic Health, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, develops, markets and distributes a wide variety of sports nutrition products, performance drinks, non-prescription dietary supplements, over-the-counter drugs, health and beauty care products, health food and nutritional products, soft goods and other related products.

Additionally, the Company carries its own lines of branded products. These are comprised of approximately 40 products packaged into approximately 75 SKUs.

Dynamic Health has grown primarily through acquisitions. In June 1998, the Company acquired, through a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, Energy Factors, Inc. (“Energy Factors”), a Florida corporation, which had a 33,222 square foot office, laboratory, manufacturing and warehouse facility located in Largo, Florida.

Products

Dynamic Health markets and distributes a wide variety of sports nutrition products, performance drinks, non-prescription dietary supplements, over-the-counter drugs, health and beauty care products, health food and nutritional products, soft goods and other related products. The Company distributes approximately 2,500 individual inventory items purchased from over 100 manufacturers. Additionally, the Company carries its own lines of branded products. These are comprised of approximately 40 products packaged into approximately 75 SKUs.

Product Development

Generally, the more novel and unique Dynamic Health’s products are, the greater the profit margins. The Company, along with product development teams, works closely with its customers to understand their needs,

 

42


Table of Contents

their strengths and their objectives to be met, thus involving the team to create products with more unique sales points. The Company’s response time in developing its own proprietary products is critical and enables the Company to take advantage of consumer trends and preferences.

Marketing and Sales

Dynamic Health’s products are marketed directly to its wholesale and retail customers through the Company’s in-house salespeople. The Company distributes markets and distributes a wide variety of sports nutrition products, performance drinks, non-prescription dietary supplements, over-the-counter drugs, health and beauty care products, health food and nutritional products, soft goods and other related products to gyms, health food stores, regional and national chain drugstore, internet companies, mail order facilities, mass merchandisers, deep discounters, distributors and brokers. The Company’s products are also marketed through catalog sales and through the Company’s web sites.

Competition

The wholesale product distribution industry in which Dynamic Health operates is highly competitive. Numerous companies, many of which have greater size and greater financial, personnel, distribution and other resources than the Company, compete with the Company.

Dynamic Health faces substantial competition from other regional and national distributors in the sports nutrition products, performance drinks, non-prescription dietary supplements, over-the-counter drugs, health and beauty care products, health food and nutritional products, soft goods and other related products industries, both domestic and abroad. The Company’s branded products face substantial competition from broad line manufacturers, major private label manufacturers and, more recently, large pharmaceutical companies and pharmacies, both domestic and abroad. Increased competition from such companies could have a material adverse affect on the Company because such companies have greater financial and other resources available to them and possess marketing and distribution capabilities far greater than those of the Company.

Dynamic Health competes on the basis of competitive pricing, its ability to develop new product lines and customer service. Due to the Company’s larger purchasing power, the Company is able to offer its products at what we believe are more attractive prices to our customers. The Company works closely with contract manufacturers to continue to develop future products and to expand our product line to satisfy the continuing changing needs of customers. The Company has trained in-house customer service personnel available to address all of our customer’s needs. The Company’s ability to compete favorably with its competitors with respect to its branded products will depend primarily upon its development of brand recognition across multiple distribution channels, its ability to quickly develop new products with market potential, to successfully advertise, market and promote its products, as well as its product quality and the development of a strong and effective distribution network.

Research and Development

Dynamic Health contracts research and development primarily through its affiliate GeoPharma, where Dr. Kotha S. Sekharam, the President of GeoPharma and a director of the Company, provides guidance and direction for GeoPharma’s research and development team. Nutritional information, as well as label requirements, are prepared by GeoPharma’s regulatory staff personnel.

Trademarks

Dynamic Health has applied for various federally registered trademarks and utilizes the following federally registered trademarks: Vibrafem,® ECLIPSE Sports Supplements®, Eclipse 2000® and Muscle Sandwich®.

Vibrafem® is a topical gel designed to enhance sexual arousal. ECLIPSE Sports Supplements® and Eclipse 2000® are lines of dietary supplements, namely vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, protein powders, protein bars, protein shakes, protein drinks, nutraceuticals and essential fatty acids. Muscle Sandwich® is a line of peanut butter based protein bars. Since approximately 3% of our consolidated revenues result from the sales of these products, the Company believes that protecting some of its trademarks is crucial to its business strategy of building strong brand name recognition and that such trademarks will have significant value.

Dynamic Health policy is to pursue registrations of all the trademarks associated with its key products. The Company relies on common law trademark rights to protect its unregistered trademarks. Common law trademark rights generally are limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used, while a United States federal registration of a trademark enables the registrant to stop the unauthorized use of the trademark by any third party anywhere in the United States. Furthermore, the protection available, if any, in foreign jurisdictions may not be as extensive as the protection available to the Company in the United States.

Although Dynamic Health seeks to ensure that it does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against the Company. Any infringement claims by third parties against the Company may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Principal Suppliers and Sources of Supply

Dynamic Health obtains all of its products from third party suppliers. Many of the raw materials used in the Company’s products are harvested internationally. The Company does not have contracts with any suppliers committing such suppliers to provide materials required for the production of its products. There can be no assurance that suppliers will provide products needed by the Company in the quantities requested or at a price the Company is willing to pay. Because the Company does not control the actual production of these products, it is also subject to delays caused by interruption in production of materials based on conditions not within its control. Such conditions include job actions or strikes by employees of suppliers, weather, crop conditions, transportation interruptions and natural disasters or other catastrophic events. The inability of the Company to obtain adequate supplies of its products at favorable prices, or at all, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Dynamic Health is a Florida corporation with its executive offices at 12399 Belcher Road South, Suite 140, Largo, Florida, 33773. Its telephone number is (727) 683-0670.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITIONS AND

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF DYNAMIC HEALTH

The statements contained in this proxy/registration statement that are not historical are forward-looking statements, including statements regarding Dynamic Health’s expectations, intentions, beliefs or strategies regarding the future. Forward-looking statements include Dynamic Health’s statements regarding liquidity, anticipated cash needs and availability and anticipated expense levels. All forward-looking statements included in this proxy/registration statement are based on information available to Dynamic Health on the date hereof, and Dynamic Health assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. It is important to note that Dynamic Health’s actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this proxy/registration statement. The discussion is based upon such consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and the Standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).

Overview

Dynamic Health derives its revenues from developing, marketing and distributing a wide variety of sports nutrition products, performance drinks, non-prescription dietary supplements, over-the-counter drugs, health and beauty care products, health food and nutritional products, soft goods and other related products.

Revenues are recognized by Dynamic Health upon passage of title and risk of loss to customers when product is delivered to common carrier for shipment to customers. Provisions for discounts and sales incentives to customers, and returns and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related sales are recorded. Sales incentives to customers and returns have thus far been immaterial to Dynamic Health. All shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are included in revenues.

Cost of goods sold is comprised of direct product costs, plus the cost of transportation necessary to bring the products to Dynamic Health’s distribution facilities, net of consideration received from suppliers in connection with the purchase or promotion of the suppliers’ products. Research and development expenses are charged against cost of goods sold as incurred and are not material to Dynamic Health’s operations.

Operating expenses include salaries and wages, employee benefits, warehousing and delivery, selling, occupancy, insurance, administrative, depreciation and amortization expense. We include outbound transportation expenses within our operating expenses rather than in our cost of goods sold.

Other expenses (income) includes interest earned on notes receivable and on cash balances maintained in interest bearing accounts with banks, interest on our outstanding indebtedness, the change in fair value of derivative financial instruments and miscellaneous income and expenses.

 

Results of Operations

Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2007 Compared To Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2006

Revenues

Dynamic Health generated revenues of $56,810,439 for the year ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $6,668,233 or 13.3%, compared to $50,142,206 for the year ended March 31, 2006. The increase was primarily attributable to organic growth resulting from expansion of our distribution channels with the opening of distribution centers in Henderson Nevada and Largo, Florida in May 2005, and in Dallas, Texas in January 2007 and the expansion of our in-house sales force. We expect organic growth of up to 15% in the future, based on expansion of marketing efforts through our in-house sales force.

Gross Profit

Dynamic Health achieved a gross profit of $10,455,933 for the year ended March 31, 2007, an increase of $1,298,926 or 14.2%, compared to $9,157,007 for the year ended March 31, 2006. Gross margin, as a percentage of revenues, was 18.4% and 18.3%, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. We expect gross margins of 18% to 20% in the future.

Operating Expenses

Dynamic Health incurred operating expenses of $11,533,493 for the year ended March 31, 2007, compared to $9,681,745 for the year ended March 31, 2006. For the year ended March 31, 2007, these expenses include various selling, general and administrative expenses of $11,031,264, and amortization and depreciation expenses of $502,229, compared to $9,226,697 in various selling, general and administrative expenses, and amortization and depreciation expenses of $455,048 for the year ended March 31, 2006.

For the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, Dynamic Health’s selling, general and administrative expenses included non-cash amortization of deferred consulting fees of $215,004 and $308,755, respectively.

Dynamic Health’s outbound transportation expenses, which are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, were $2,119,397 and $1,933,674, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Dynamic Health’s operating expenses, excluding amortization and depreciation expenses increased to 19.4% of revenues for the year ended March 31, 2007, from 18.4% of revenues for the year ended March 31, 2006. The increase in operating expenses as a percentage of revenues was attributable to an increase in our allowance for bad debts related to accounts and notes receivable, an increase in commissions paid to brokers and outside sales representatives, the amortization of stock-based compensation costs, an increase in compensation related expenses, an increase in credit card fees, an increase in outbound transportation costs, an increase in insurance expenses, an increase in legal fees, an increase in profit sharing plan expenses and an increase in tradeshow expenses, and was partially offset by a decrease in advertising expenses, a decrease in audit related accounting fees, a decrease in amortization of deferred consulting fees, a decrease in rent expense, a decrease in telephone expense and a decrease in travel expenses.

Dynamic Health now recognizes stock-based compensation costs in operating expenses, due to the adoption of FAS 123(R), on April 1, 2006. Share-based compensation expense was $910,258 for the year ended March 31, 2007.

Operating Income (Loss)

Dynamic Health’s operating loss increased by 105.4% or $552,822, to $1,077,560 for the year ended March 31, 2007 from $524,738 for the year ended March 31, 2006. As a percentage of revenues, operating loss was 1.9% and 1.0%, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Other Income (Expense)

Dynamic Health’s other income (expense) was $(2,696,599) for the year ended March 31, 2007, compared to $6,110,906 for the year ended March 31, 2006. Below is a discussion of each of the various line items of other income (expense).

Dynamic Health’s derivative instrument income (expense), net, was $674,097 for the year ended March 31, 2007, compared to $10,314,794 for the year ended March 31, 2006. Derivative instrument interest expense was $3,311,752 for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The accounting for derivative financial instruments is very complex and has had a material non-cash effect on our net income (loss) for the years ended March 31, 2006

and 2005. We expect the accounting for these derivative financial instruments to have a material non-cash effect on our net income (loss) in any given reporting period during the life of the derivative financial instruments. The effect on our future earnings (losses) cannot be predicted since various factors effect both the valuation and corresponding charges or credits to income at each reporting period, as further discussed below under “Derivative Instruments”.

Dynamic Health’s interest income was $23,528 for the year ended March 31, 2007, compared to $23,912 for the year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in interest income was a result of the reduction in interest received on notes receivable due to smaller principal balances and was partially offset by higher cash amounts held in interest bearing accounts in banks.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, Dynamic Health’s other income and expenses, net, of $53,752, consisted primarily of proceeds from an insurance claim, proceeds from a disputed escrow balance, and income from negotiated allowances on prior years, and was partially offset by expenses incurred in connection with potential financing not consummated and settlement of an employment agreement. For the year ended March 31, 2006, other income and expenses, net, of $(161,347) consisted primarily of legal and consulting fees incurred in connection with a potential acquisition that was not consummated.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, Dynamic Health realized a gain from the sale of marketable equity securities of $572,096. Proceeds were used for payment of a portion of the principal balance on our revolving note payable.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, Dynamic Health realized a gain from debt extinguishment of $153,750, resulting from the cancellation of all common stock warrants issued to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., associated with our September 2004 and March 2005 financings, in exchange for 150,000 shares of our common stock.

Dynamic Health’s interest expense was $827,294 for the year ended March 31, 2007, compared to $749,873 for the year ended March 31, 2006. Interest expense increased for the year ended March 31, 2007, primarily as a result of interest rate increases and an increase in short-term obligations issued for insurance policy premiums. In addition, $139,873 and $60,493, respectively, of the interest expense for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 relates to the non-cash amortization of the debt discounts based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, applied to the postponement agreements entered into in July 2005 and April 2006, in connection with the September 30, 2004 convertible term note.

Income Taxes

As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, Dynamic Health had a current income tax liability of $115 and zero, respectively, and an accrued income tax liability of $925 and $5,819, respectively. We had an estimated deferred income tax asset of $49,400 as of March 31, 2007 and an estimated deferred income tax liability of $186,300 as of March 31, 2006, which primarily represent the potential future tax expense associated with unrealized gains on marketable equity securities, and are partially offset due to potential utilization of net operating losses not previously recognized. The net operating losses may be carried forward for up to up to 20 years.

Net Income (Loss) Per Share

Dynamic Health had a net loss of $3,814,764 or $0.25 per basic and diluted share for the year ended March 31, 2007, compared to net income of $5,903,910 or $0.41 per basic share and $0.08 per diluted share for the year ended March 31, 2006.

Derivative Instruments

Dynamic Health’s derivative instrument income (expense), net, represents the net unrealized (non-cash) change, during the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, in the fair value of our derivative financial instrument

assets or liabilities related to certain warrants and embedded derivatives in our debt instruments that have been bifurcated and accounted for separately.

Dynamic Health’s derivative instrument interest expense, with a corresponding increase in the face amount of the debts, for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, represents the (non-cash) accretion of debt discount as a result of the bifurcation of the embedded conversion features and related warrants. We calculated the accretion using the effective interest rate method over the term of the debts. Due to the effect of the payment streams associated with the debts, the straight-line amount of the accretion is substantially equivalent to the effective interest rate method and therefore is the resulting method we used for our calculations.

Dynamic Health sold debt convertible into shares of our common stock. The debt had detachable warrants to purchase shares of our common stock. These warrants have been classified as derivative liabilities, rather than as equity. Additionally, the debt instruments contain embedded derivative features, such as conversion rights, which are required to be bifurcated from the associated host instrument and are accounted for separately as derivative instrument liabilities.

The identification of, and accounting for, derivative instruments is complex. Dynamic Health’s derivative instrument liabilities are re-valued at the end of each reporting period, with changes in the fair value of the derivative liabilities recorded as charges or credits to income, in the period in which the changes occur. For warrants and bifurcated conversion features that are accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities, we determine the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. That model requires us to make assumptions related to the remaining term of the instruments and risk-free rates of return, our current common stock price, expected dividend yield, and the expected volatility of our common stock price over the life of the instruments. Because of the limited trading history of our common stock prior to the acquisition of Bob O’Leary Health Food Distributor Co., Inc. on October 1, 2004, we have estimated the future volatility of our common stock price based on not only the history of our stock price but also the experience of other entities considered comparable to us.

The accounting for derivative instruments and the assumptions used to value them have materially affected Dynamic Health’s financial statements and are expected to do so in the future. Factors that would have an affect on the fair value of derivative instruments and related derivative expense or income include, but are not limited to, the price of our common stock and risk free interest rates. For example, if the price of our common stock increases, generally the fair value of the derivative instrument liabilities will increase and this will result in a corresponding increase in the derivative instrument expense recorded in our statement of operations. Alternatively, if the price of our common stock decreases, it generally will cause the fair value of the derivative instrument liabilities to decrease and this will result in a corresponding increase in derivative instrument income to be recorded in our statement of operations. The above changes could be mitigated by the change in the remaining term of the instruments over time and possible principal payments made during the life of the instruments. We currently do not pay dividends and as such, the payment of dividends would not have an impact on the fair value of the derivative instrument liabilities.

In connection with the September 30, 2004 convertible debt, Dynamic Health executed an interest rate index (“IRI”) whereby if the price of our common stock had increased by a specified amount, there would have been a reduction in the stated interest rate payable on that instrument. This initially created a derivative instrument asset. The IRI agreement provided for a potential reduction but not an increase in the stated interest rate. The fair value of the derivative instrument asset so created would increase if we projected a potential increase in the price of our common stock. This resulted in derivative instrument income for the year ended March 31, 2005. Since the price of our common stock decreased during the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, the resulting fair value of the IRI was zero at March 31, 2007 and 2006, and this resulted in derivative instrument expense of $245,584 being recorded during the year ended March 31, 2006. For a full discussion on Derivative Instruments, see Note 15 to our consolidated financial statements for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

Inflation And Seasonality

Dynamic Health believes that there was no material effect on our operations or our financial condition as a result of inflation for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. We also believe that our business is not seasonal; however, significant promotional activities can have a direct impact on our sales volume in any given quarter.

Economic And Industry Conditions

Dynamic Health believes that there was no material effect on our operations or our financial condition a result of general economic and industry conditions for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. However, should there be a material deterioration of general economic or industry conditions, our results of operations could be impacted in any given quarter.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Dynamic Health has financed our operations and growth primarily through cash flows from operations, borrowing under our revolving credit facility, operating leases, trade payables, and the sale of equity and debt securities. We had a working capital deficit of $3,688,369 at March 31, 2007, compared to a working capital deficit of $688,507 at March 31, 2006.

Net cash provided by Dynamic Health’s operating activities was $1,424,922 for the year ended March 31, 2007, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $35,319 for the year ended March 31, 2006. The cash provided was primarily attributable to a decrease in amounts due to/from affiliates, net, of $16,857 based on net payments received, a decrease in prepaid expenses of $160,816 primarily due to the timing of insurance policy renewals, a decrease in other current assets of $65,958 primarily based on a decrease in refunds due from vendors, a decrease in other assets of $55,686, an increase in accounts payable of $2,821,233 based on increased purchases made on accounts, an increase in other payables of $264,504 primarily based on an increase in prepayments received from customers, an increase in income tax payable of $115, an increase in accrued expenses of $53,282, a decrease in net deferred income taxes of $12,894 as a result of the sales of marketable equity securities and an increase in available net operating loss carry forwards, partially offset by an increase in accounts receivable of $378,637 based on increases in credit sales, an increase in inventories of $1,542,077 due to increased restocking levels and to the increase in our product sales, and a decrease in accrued income taxes of $4,894 based on payments made.

Net cash provided by Dynamic Health’s investing activities was $235,318, representing proceeds from the sale of property of $49,900, proceeds from the sale of marketable equity securities of $572,096, proceeds from repayments on notes receivable of $63,806 and notes receivable from an affiliate of $25,577, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment of $247,153, the purchase of a distributor agreement of $25,000 and the purchase of certificates of deposit of $203,908.

Net cash used in Dynamic Health’s financing activities was $1,564,407, representing payments of long-term obligations of $899,875, the excess of payments versus advances received of $477,152 on our short-term revolving note, payment of short-term obligations of $163,799 and payments of fractional shares on common stock exchanged of $1.

At March 31, 2007, Dynamic Health had $1,104,845 in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $1,009,012 at March 31, 2006.

Dynamic Health believes that cash expected to be generated from operations and current cash reserves will be sufficient for us to meet our capital expenditures and working capital needs, for our operations as presently conducted, together with funds we received in April 2007, as a result of an agreement we entered into on April 26, 2007, for an additional revolving credit facility in the amount of $1 million. Our future liquidity and

Table of Contents

cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors, including the level of business in existing operations, expansion of facilities and possible acquisitions. In particular, if cash flows from operations are not sufficient, it will be necessary for us to seek additional financing. While there can be no assurance that such financing would be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to us, we believe that such financing would likely be available on acceptable terms. With respect to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., although we do not have a definitive agreement, it is anticipated that all obligations due to Laurus will be converted into shares of GeoPharma, Inc. common stock at the time of the merger.

On September 30, 2004, Dynamic Health entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., whereby we completed the sale to Laurus of a secured convertible note in the principal amount of $6,000,000 and warrants to purchase 1,375,000 shares of our common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were used to pay the purchase price for the acquisition of Bob O’Leary Health Food Distributor Co., Inc., effective on October 1, 2004.

The convertible note has a three year term and accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal plus 2%, subject to a floor of 6%. The interest rate is subject to possible downward adjustments. The fixed conversion rate is equal to $.90 (103% of the average closing price for the ten days prior to the execution of the securities purchase agreement).

Upon an issuance of shares of common stock below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the note will be reduced accordingly. In connection with the September 12, 2005 stock issuance, the lender waived this provision. The conversion price of the note may be adjusted proportionately in certain circumstances such as if Dynamic Health pays a stock dividend, subdivides or combines outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or takes such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution.

In accordance with the convertible note, commencing December 1, 2004, and each month thereafter, we were to pay $187,500 of the outstanding principal, together with accrued interest on the convertible note, in cash or registered stock. In July 2005, we entered into a Postponement Agreement with Laurus, whereby the required principal payments under the convertible note were modified. In April 2006, we entered into a Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, whereby the required principal payments under the convertible note were again modified and the note was amended and restated.

The monthly payments shall be payable in registered stock if: (i) we have an effective registration statement under which the stock can be sold; (ii) the average closing price of our common stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on our principal trading market for the five trading days immediately preceding such repayment date shall be greater than or equal to 110% of the fixed conversion rate; and (iii) the amount of such conversion does not exceed 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock for the twenty 22 day trading period immediately preceding the applicable repayment date. If the conversion criteria are not met, the investor shall convert only such part of the monthly payment that meets the conversion criteria. Any part of the monthly payment due on a repayment date that the investor has not been able to convert into shares of common stock due to failure to meet the conversion criteria, shall be paid by us in cash at the rate of 102% of the principal portion of the monthly payment otherwise due on such repayment date.

The convertible note may be prepaid by us in cash by paying to the holder 115% of the principal and related accrued and unpaid interest thereon being prepaid. 115% of the full principal amount of the convertible note is due upon default under the terms of the convertible note. In addition, we have granted the investor a security interest in substantially all of our assets and intellectual property, as well as registration rights.

As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, the outstanding principal balance on the convertible note was $3,687,500 and $4,500,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, 989,758 shares of our common stock have been issued to Laurus in payment of $750,000 of principal and $140,782 of interest on the note.

Initially, Laurus was not entitled to be issued shares of common stock in repayment of any portion of the convertible note if and to the extent such issuance would result in Laurus and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of our issued and outstanding common stock upon such issuance, unless Laurus shall have provided at least 75 days prior written notice to us of its revocation of such restriction. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, this provision was modified from 4.99% to 9.99%. In addition, this restriction would not apply in the event of default or if we sought to redeem the outstanding balance of the convertible debentures.

The warrants were exercisable until five years from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement at a purchase price equal to $1.04 per share (115% of the average closing price of our common stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the execution date). The warrants were exercisable on a cashless basis. In the event that the warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, then we would not receive any proceeds. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants would have been adjusted in the event we issued common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of this warrant or issued in connection with the convertible notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In September 2005, we sold 150,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price below market. In connection therewith, Laurus waived their anti-dilution provisions related to all convertible notes and warrants issued to Laurus. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, we issued 97,059 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, in exchange for cancellation of the 1,375,000 warrants.

Dynamic Health’s obligations under the Security Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note are secured by a first priority lien on all of our assets and all future assets acquired, including a pledge by us of shares representing 100% of our share capital of GeoPharma, Inc. and DrugMax, Inc., and a put option on the pledged shares of GeoPharma, Inc. and DrugMax, Inc. at $6.00 and $4.00 per share, respectively.

On March 29, 2005, Dynamic Health entered into agreements with Laurus, whereby we completed the sale to Laurus of convertible debt and a warrant to purchase our common stock in a private offering pursuant to exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The $3,000,000 proceeds of the funding were used for the acquisition of Dynamic Marketing, Inc. on March 31, 2005, costs associated with the acquisition and for working capital.

The securities sold to Laurus included a secured convertible minimum borrowing note with a principal amount of $2,000,000, a secured revolving note with a principal amount note to exceed $4,000,000, and a common stock purchase warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of our common stock, at a purchase price of $1.37 per shares, exercisable for a period of seven years. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, we issued 52,941 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, in exchange for cancellation of the 750,000 warrants.

The combined principal amount that may be outstanding under the $2,000,000 minimum borrowing note and the $4,000,000 revolving note at any point in time cannot exceed $4,000,000.

Dynamic Health is permitted to borrow an amount based upon its eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined in the agreements with Laurus. We must pay certain fees for any unused portion of the credit facility or in the event the facility is terminated prior to expiration. Our obligations under the notes are secured by all of our assets, including but not limited to inventory and accounts receivable. The notes mature on March 29, 2008. Annual interest on the Notes is equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus 2.0%, provided, that, such annual rate of interest may not be less than 6%, subject to certain downward adjustments resulting from certain increases in the market price of our common stock. Interest on the notes is payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing on April 1, 2005.

The principal amount of the secured convertible minimum borrowing note, together with accrued interest thereon is payable on March 29, 2008. The secured convertible minimum borrowing note may be redeemed by us

in cash by paying the holder 115% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The holder of the term note may require us to convert all or a portion of the term note, together with interest and fees thereon at any time. The number of shares to be issued shall equal the total amount to be converted, divided by $1.13.

Upon an issuance of shares of common stock below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the notes will be reduced accordingly. The conversion price of the secured convertible notes may be adjusted proportionately in certain circumstances such as if we pay a stock dividend, subdivide or combine outstanding shares of our common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or if we take such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution. In September 2005, we sold 150,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price below market. In connection therewith, Laurus waived their anti-dilution provisions related to all convertible notes and warrants issued to Laurus.

115% of the full principal amount of the convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of convertible notes. Laurus had contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert if the convertible notes would exceed the difference between the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder or issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the option held by such holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, this provision was modified from 4.99% to 9.99%. In addition, this restriction would not apply in the event there was an event of default or if we sought to redeem the outstanding balance of the convertible debentures.

On April 22, 2005, Dynamic Health filed such Registration Statement on Form S-2 for the registration of up to 2,944,690 shares of our common stock, including up to 2,194,690 shares of common stock underlying the March 29, 2005 Secured Convertible Notes issued to Laurus, in the principal amount of $4,000,000 and up to 750,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants. Such Registration Statement was subsequently withdrawn by us on August 19, 2005.

On July 19, 2005, Dynamic Health entered into a Postponement Agreement with Laurus, whereby Laurus agreed to postpone our obligation to make certain amortization payments on its secured convertible note and, in consideration therefore, we issued to Laurus 275,000 shares of our restricted common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, the principal portion of the monthly amount that is due in connection with the September 30, 2004 note, on the first business day of each of the months from August 2005 through March 2006 in the amount of $187,500 per month, shall not be required to be paid until the first business day of each of the months from February 2007 through September 2007, respectively, in each case, in addition to the regular monthly principal payments due in each of the months. In connection with the agreement, Laurus agreed to amend the Registration Rights Agreement with us, to extend the dates for the filing requirements of our Registration Statement.

On August 19, 2005, Dynamic Health filed a Registration Statement on Form S-2 for the registration of up to 3,219,690 shares of our common stock, including up to 2,194,690 shares of common stock underlying the March 29, 2005 Secured Convertible Notes issued to Laurus, in the principal amount of $4,000,000, up to 750,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants, and up to 275,000 shares issued in connection with the July 19, 2005 Postponement Agreement.

On April 28, 2006, Dynamic Health entered into a Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, pursuant to which we modified the September 30, 2004 and the March 29, 2005 earlier agreements among the parties. The Postponement and Amendment Agreement provides for the following:

 

   

Principal payments under the September 30, 2004 note are reduced by $137,500 per month for the eight months commencing May 2006, all of which shall be paid on the maturity date of the convertible note;

Dynamic Health’s obligation to repay overadvances of up to $1,721,000 under the March 29, 2005 notes shall be suspended for a period of eight months;

 

   

All of the common stock purchase warrants issued to Laurus in connection with the September 30, 2004 and March 29, 2005 agreements are cancelled in their entirety;

 

   

In connection with the foregoing, Dynamic Health issued 150,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, for cancellation of the warrants issued to Laurus;

 

   

In connection with the foregoing, Dynamic Health issued 275,000 restricted share of our common stock to Laurus, for postponement of the portion of principal payments in connection with the September 30, 2004 note.

The fair value of the 275,000 shares issued in connection with the April 28, 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement was $45,000, based upon the closing price of our common stock on that date. This financing cost was recorded as a discount on the September 2004 note and the discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note, in accordance with EITF 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.

In connection with the Postponement and Amendment Agreement, Dynamic Health also executed restated promissory notes in favor of Laurus and an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Restated Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Restated Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement by June 30, 2006, covering the resale of the securities issued or issuable to Laurus. We were obligated to have such registration statement declared effective by September 30, 2006, but there were no stated penalties for failure to meet such deadline.

On July 3, 2006, Dynamic Health filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 for the registration of up to 10,221,275 shares of our common stock, including up to 2,194,690 shares of common stock underlying the March 2005 secured convertible notes, up to 7,326,585 shares of common stock underlying the September 2004 secured convertible notes, 275,000 shares of common stock underlying the July 2005 postponement agreement, and 425,000 shares of common stock underlying the April 2006 amendment and postponement agreement. Such Registration Statement was subsequently withdrawn by us on October 4, 2006.

On October 4, 2006, Dynamic Health entered into an agreement with Laurus pursuant to which we modified the earlier agreements among the parties (the “Amendment Agreement”). The Amendment Agreement (i) eliminated the obligation of Dynamic Health to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the securities sold in September 2004, and (ii) removed Laurus’ right to waive 9.99% ownership limitations contained in their convertible debentures.

In connection with the Amendment Agreement, Dynamic Health also executed second amended and restated promissory notes in favor of Laurus. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, Dynamic Health agreed to file a registration statement by October 20, 2006, covering the resale of certain securities issued or issuable to Laurus. We were obligated to have such registration statement declared effective by November 30, 2006, but there were no stated penalties for failure to meet such deadline. Laurus could have declared the obligations in default and sought immediate repayment, but it gave no indication of doing so. If immediate repayment had been required, we would not have had sufficient funds and Laurus could have taken legal action to recover amounts due from our assets.

On October 20, 2006, Dynamic Health filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 for the registration of up to 2,761,335 shares of our common stock, including up to 2,061,335 shares of common stock underlying the March 2005 secured convertible notes, 275,000 shares of common stock underlying the July 2005 postponement agreement, and 425,000 shares of common stock underlying the April 2006 amendment and postponement agreement.

this Registration Statement on Form SB-2. On April 9, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement to be effective.

On May 24, 2006, Dynamic Health entered into an Amendment Agreement with Laurus, pursuant to which we modified earlier agreements among the parties. In connection with the March 29, 2005 financing, we received certain overadvances of funds in the aggregate amount of $572,094, as of May 24, 2006. In accordance with the Amendment Agreement, Laurus permitted us to sell a sufficient number of shares of GeoPharma, pledged by us to Laurus, in connection with the September 30, 2004 financing, by June 5, 2006 in satisfaction of the overadvances, with the proceeds being paid to Laurus. Any remaining unsold shares of GeoPharma were delivered to Laurus to be held pursuant to the original pledge agreement. In June 2006, we sold 143,024 shares of GeoPharma at $4.00 per share. Proceeds from the sale were paid to Laurus in satisfaction of the overadvances. This resulted in our recognizing a gain on the sale of marketable equity securities of zero and $572,096, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2007.

development and manufacture of a broad range of nutritional supplements and cosmetic products. As a private-label contract manufacturer, we develop and manufacture for ourselves, and our customers, dietary supplements and health and beauty care products for distribution through various outlets. Belcher Pharmaceuticals, Inc is a state-of-the-art FDA-registered, drug development and manufacturing facility for generic and over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs. Our fourth Florida corporation, Breakthrough Engineered Nutrition, Inc., develops and markets our own branded dietary supplement product lines and specialty functional products. DexL-10 and OxyFirm, are our dietary supplement lines and Lean Protein Bites, CarbSlim Crunch Bites and CarbSlim Cookie Dough Bites are Breakthrough’s most popular brands and are distributed nationally and internationally in both specialty and mass retail outlets. Breakthrough’s products are found in such outlets as Wal-Mart, Rite Aid, Albertson’s, Kroger and GNC. We also have an established network of brokers and distributors strategically located across the United States and Canada. Go2PBM Services, Inc. is our pharmacy benefit management company that manages multiple health care plan members and the administration of their related pharmacy claims.

Overall Business Strategy

GeoPharma will continue to build a multi-faceted company able to maximize our efficiencies and capitalize on our synergies through vertical operations. The generic drug segment was started during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2003. While we are currently working on several Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”), we have procured three ANDAs from established drug development companies abroad. We have filed the ANDA transfer paperwork with the FDA. Completion of this transfer process will enable us to start manufacturing and selling these three drugs contingent only on the FDA’s approval. We may from time to time enter into agreements with third parties with respect to the development of new products or the purchase of new products and their related technologies. We are also working on certain drug products that may lead us to file value-added drug filings like a 505(b)2. We have in-licensed a novel peptide drug and have filed a worldwide patent on this peptide; this may lead to the potential development of a new drug thus allowing us to file a New Drug Application (“NDA”).

To manage GeoPharma’s operations, we have assembled and maintained a management team with experience in manufacturing, marketing, sales and technology to assist in leading us to our sales, profit and overall business goals. The regulatory and analytical departments have been strengthened. The Regulatory Affairs’ department has the ability to prepare all the necessary documentation required by the FDA and any other regulatory agency. In reference to the manufacture and the distribution of generic drugs, numerous licensures have been applied for and obtained, which include a drug enforcement agency (“DEA”) license, a State of Florida prescription drug manufacturing permit, State of Florida and other specific states’ wholesale distribution licenses.

We have upgraded the analytical laboratory to support all of our development work. Additional analytical and other lab equipment have been added to conduct the required analysis of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) in addition to generating data for the ANDA work. The research, development, stability testing, clinical testing and FDA review process leading up to an approval takes approximately 12 - 36 months depending on the nature of the drug. Some of the products require little review or very little laboratory testing and hence may take only one year. In an attempt to further differentiate ourselves from other generic drug development companies, our focus remains on projects that we were able to eliminate the high barriers to entry based on our strategic alliances and other formed relationships that provide for an API source that would otherwise normally be difficult to source. The current strategy is to continue to work on drug products that can be brought to market at an even pace, as we believe this approach allows for immediate revenue generation and provides for a possible future, continuous revenue generation stream. Our vertical operations consist of manufacturing and distribution, sales and marketing, in-house formulation laboratory and other chemical analysis services, customer service and public relations. We will be able to support our own needs as well as those of our customers, from order processing, manufacturing through end-user distribution. We have streamlined all of our manufacturing facilities in order to continue growing both our generic and over-the-counter drug and nutraceutical manufacturing segments.

At GeoPharma, we are continuing to develop our sales and marketing strategies to build our recognition among national grocery, mass retail, major pharmaceutical drug distributors and national drug chains, long-term care facilities and other health product consumer organizations, while building brand awareness of our branded and other proprietary products as well as our private label capabilities.

We have developed several proprietary branded product lines within our distribution business segment that are currently being sold nationally. DEX-L10 is a Hoodia-based dietary supplement branded product line that has been clinically proven to suppress one’s appetite and thus aids in weight loss. Hooda is a type of cactus that is grown, harvested and imported from Africa. DEX-L10 has a number of SKUs that include an appetite-suppressant product, DEX-L10 Complete, an appetite suppressant and energy product, and now a soft chew. We plan on further developing and expanding these lines into other flavors and packaged forms of our unique, high-protein, sugar-free foods and energy products. Additions to our Lean Protein and CarbSlim product lines will include new flavors, package type and size variations in addition to existing product enhancements. For both our manufacturing and distribution segments, we market our product lines using our own telemarketing efforts as well as utilizing brokers to increase the awareness and availability of our offerings and capabilities.

We entered into a contract with CarePlus, to provide pharmacy benefit management services to its members through two of their health plans, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Go2PBM Services, Inc. In addition, the agreement allows us to be the organization’s private label over-the-counter supplier of healthcare and healthcare related products. This contract is ending effective May 15, 2007.

Through the development of our generic and over -the-counter drugs, private label manufacturing, branded distribution products and pharmacy benefit management efforts, we intend to provide wholesale, retail, and institutional customers with an efficient source for their generic and over-the-counter drug products, nutritional and functional convenience foods and other pharmacy-related product needs. By vertically integrating our core business operations, we believe we have, and will continue, to achieve increased brand recognition and exposure, ancillary product and service revenues, and will be able to provide competitively priced products, quick turn around and overall superior customer service.

Research and Development

GeoPharma’s product development remains the core element of our historical as well as current and future growth strategy spanning across all of our existing business segments. Our research and development activities consist principally of:

 

   

the potential for enhancing existing products or formulas,

 

   

researching and developing new product formulations and

 

   

introducing technology to improve production efficiency and enhance product quality.

The scientific process of developing new products and obtaining FDA approval is complex, costly and time-consuming; there can be no assurance that any saleable products will be developed despite the amount of time and money spent on research and development. The development of products may be curtailed at any stage of development due to the introduction of competing generic products or for other reasons including changes in laws or regulations or for any other reason deemed necessary by management. Our generic drug and nutraceutical research and development departments develop new concepts and formulations for our generic and over-the-counter drugs, our branded distribution product lines and our customers’ nutraceutical private label products. We carefully select our products we target, keeping in view our competitive advantage, particularly as related to the source of a raw material or API, the total market size and what portion of the market is potentially available to us. Dr. Sekharam, GeoPharma’s President, provides guidance and direction for our research and development teams and analytical laboratory personnel as related to product development and product manufacture. Our lab chemists perform product development, product and process improvements. Our technical staff prepares cost estimates and samples based on those resulting formulations. Prior to the final manufacture of

any of our products, the team prepares documentation of the necessary custom and other operational procedures to be performed. Our chemists and our research and development regulatory staff personnel prepare all the necessary product information for label requirements.

During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, GeoPharma’s subsidiary, Belcher Pharmaceuticals has made substantial progress in the animal and human ANDA areas and has strengthened laboratory staff, adding more analytical equipment and manufacturing machinery. The blending, tableting and liquid manufacturing areas have been expanded in line with our generic drug strategic plans. Belcher has filed a patent on a novel method to stabilize the drug Levothyroxine. Levothyroxine, sold under the brand names, Abbott’s Synthroid® and King Pharmaceutical’s Soloxine®/Levoxyl®, is used for humans as well as pets to treat thyroid-related conditions. Levothyroxine is the second most prescribed drug in the United States with over 13 million patients and according to NDC Health 2002, the combined retail sales for all Levothyroxine sodium tablet products was approximately $ 1.1 billion (2002). Due to unique stability problems associated with this drug, millions of tablets have been recalled per data received from the FDA. We have solved this problem by using a unique stabilizing method. Using this novel method, the stability of the drug is substantially improved. We will be applying this method to both human as well as animal versions of this drug. This is expected to offer us a competitive advantage in the market. The human version of levothyroxine sodium is in the advanced stage of development. We have contracted out the bioequivalence work on this drug to a unaffiliated third-party clinical lab. We also have developed two versions of levothyroxine drugs for the animal market. The development work includes product formulation, stability studies under accelerated and real time conditions, methods and process validation, and related analytical work required to support the Company’s filing with the FDA of an animal ANDA and a human ANDA.

Belcher filed an animal ANDA on Carprofen, a generic version for Pfizer’s Rimadyl, an arthritis and joint-ailment product for pets as Pfizer’s patent expired in 2004. We have successfully completed the development work, the animal studies, have filed with the FDA and are awaiting their approval. We have signed an exclusive arrangement with a pet drug distributor to market this drug.

On Nov. 24, 2004 the FDA provided 510(K) approval, called PMA approval to market Mucotrol, a concentrated oral gel wafer indicated for the management and relief of pain associated with oral lesions of various etiologies, including oral mucositis/stomatitis resulting from chemotherapy or radiotherapy; irritation due to oral surgery; traumatic ulcers caused by braces, ill-fitting dentures, or disease; and diffuse apthous ulcers. The 2.2 gram wafer contains compressed powder and slowly dissolves in the mouth to form a soothing and protective layer over mucosal lesions.

PMA approval is based on a determination by FDA that the PMA contains sufficient valid scientific evidence to assure that the device is safe and effective for its intended use(s). An approved PMA is, in effect, a private license granting permission to market the device.

Mucositis is a painful inflammation of the mucosa of the mouth that may occur due to radiation or chemotherapy. Mucositis afflicts approximately 40% of patients receiving cancer chemotherapy and 75% percent of bone marrow transplant recipients as well as 100% of patients receiving radiotherapy for cancer of the head and neck. It is estimated that approximately 300,000 cancer patients in the U.S. suffer from mucositis associated with cancer treatments.

Earlier, we submitted double blind placebo controlled studies on Mucotrol to the FDA for 510(K) approval. Currently, we are continuing the multicenter clinical studies on Mucotrol. We have a marketing agreement with Cura Pharmaceuticals to promote and distribute Mucotrol in the United States and are negotiating with marketing companies abroad to take Mucotrol to markets outside the United States.

We have finalized our construction and received our certificate of occupancy in order to manufacture and distribute Cephalasporin products for ourselves and others.

GeoPharma, through its subsidiary, Belcher Pharmaceuticals, contracts with outside laboratories to conduct bioequivalency studies. Bioequivalency studies must be conducted and documented in conformity with FDA standards (see “Government Regulation”) and are used to demonstrate that the rate and extent of absorption of a generic drugs are not different from a corresponding brand name drug. Research and development expenses for fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 totaled approximately $500,000, consisting primarily of salaries, bioequivalency studies and laboratory supplies. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Machinery and laboratory equipment expenditures made during the 2006 fiscal year approximated an additional $1.2 million which was capitalized and will be depreciated over their useful lives. Research and development expenses for fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 totaled approximately $263,000, consisting primarily of salaries, bioequivalency studies and laboratory supplies. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Machinery and laboratory equipment expenditures made during the 2005 fiscal year approximated an additional $719,000 which was capitalized and will be depreciated over their useful lives.

Belcher’s research and development laboratory is equipped with modern laboratory test equipment, including high pressure liquid chromatography, atomic absorption spectroscopy, as well as instruments to test different parameters like pH, viscosity, moisture, gradient sizing, ash, melting point, refractive index, tablet hardness, dissolution and disintegration. We also have a micro lab to test samples for microbiological loads including yeast, bacteria and fungi. The laboratory has stability chambers to test both the long-term and the accelerated shelf life of products. Our laboratory is well equipped to handle all aspects of generic drug development. We believe that our laboratory facilities are in compliance with all applicable environmental regulations.

GeoPharma’s product development teams work closely with the executive management as well as their customers. Working closely with management allows management to monitor adherence to our short-term, mid-term and long-range business plans; working closely with our customers assists in assuring that we provide value-added features in the final product that satisfies their ultimate needs. As our development response time is critical to capitalizing on consumer trends and preferences, we focus on meeting end-user needs as quickly as possible. We believe that this type of flexibility and attention to customer needs, while still keeping the overall strategic goals of the Company, results in more valuable and marketable products.

While we are working on these ANDA projects, we are also working simultaneously on a few long-term projects. These projects may take considerable time and effort and their commercial payoff depends on several factors on which we may not have full control. Some of these type of research outcomes may help improve existing products. If the outcome of certain projects is not within the scope of our area of expertise, our proprietary technology developed or discovered may be licensed to other companies for a fee on a royalty basis.

Marketing and Sales

GeoPharma’s marketing and promotion strategy is targeted toward stimulating demand for our products and service capabilities and by increasing our brand awareness. We currently employ a traditional in-house sales force that markets our branded and private label products directly to wholesale, retail and institutional customers as well our distribution and broker network. We also utilize product promotions and print media to reach new customers in targeted markets. We intend to increase these efforts significantly in the areas of direct sales, telesales, and traditional and online advertising.

GeoPharma plans to hire additional marketing representatives to contact prospective customers including self-insured employers, health maintenance organizations, and other health benefit provider associations to market our manufacturing capabilities and pharmacy benefit management services in addition to pursuing contractual arrangements with pharmacies related to our future generic drug manufacturing and distribution. As a manufacturer, we have the facilities, equipment, manufacturing capacity, skilled work force and industry experience to control product processing and minimize product cost from order inception to distribution of finished products to our customers. By utilizing our manufacturing capabilities, we intend to build institutional relationships through high quality and low cost custom product lines. We are continuously seeking ways to

Table of Contents

expand our manufacturing customer base. We intend to increase our market penetration of private label manufacturing customers increasing our outside sales and telesales efforts, by reducing manufacturing time with additional fully-automated high-speed manufacturing equipment, by delivering high quality products and by providing research and development support to improve our product offerings. We will also continue to develop strategic alliances with new manufacturing customers. We intend to increase our ongoing development and marketing of new products in order to capitalize on and create market opportunities in new market segments. We feel that we can differentiate ourselves from our competitors by providing customers with more value-added products. Consequently, we intend to produce and market additional, as well as enhance currently existing products and dietary supplements that integrate a variety of compounds to achieve greater bio-availability, effectiveness and product convenience. We differentiate ourselves from other dietary supplement manufacturers by providing faster and more appropriate responses to our customers. Our development response time for proprietary and private label products is critical to capitalize on consumer trends and preferences. We intend to utilize these trends and preferences to expand our customer base and provide consumers with the most timely and well adapted products for their needs.

GeoPharma intends to increase telesales by hiring an in-house telesales group to prospect for customers for our branded products that we distribute. We have increased our advertising efforts by investing in additional print ads for our branded products by implementing online sales and marketing techniques to increase brand awareness and direct traffic to our web sites, www.geopharmainc.com, www.hoodiagordonix.com, and onlineihp.com and by other promotional efforts. This includes purchasing banner advertising on search engine web sites and Internet directories, as well as direct links from health related web sites. We feel that these efforts are and will continue to compliment our existing and future strategic agreements and traditional advertising efforts. Some of the sales personnel we expect to hire will devote a substantial portion of their time enhancing relationships with our customers’ key personnel, informing them of new product developments and industry trends, and aiding them in designing store displays and merchandising programs for our branded products.

GeoPharma also increases the flexibility of our product offerings by extending various credit terms to our customers, subject to our credit approval process. In most cases, where credit terms are granted, we require a prepayment of 50% of the amount of the sales order, with the balance due within 30 days of shipment. Some of our customers whose sales are to regional and/or national chain stores receive payments from their customers on extended payment terms. In such cases, we grant extended payment terms, when requested, by a long-standing significant customer.

GeoPharma believes that the health care, pharmaceutical and dietary supplement industries are fragmented and currently offer attractive acquisition opportunities. We intend to pursue acquisition opportunities that will broaden our product lines, provide efficiencies in manufacturing through economies of scale, broaden our customer base, complement our existing businesses and further our overall strategic business goals. However, we have no current plans, arrangements or agreements for any acquisitions.

Principal Suppliers—Nutraceutical, Cosmetic, and Herbal Supplements

GeoPharma obtains all of the raw materials for the manufacture of our products from third party suppliers primarily located within the United States. We do not have contracts with any of our suppliers to provide adequate materials required for our product manufacturing.

Principal Suppliers—Generic Pharmaceuticals

Since the federal drug application process requires specification of raw material suppliers, if raw materials from a specified supplier were to become unavailable, FDA approval of a new supplier would be required. A delay of six months or more in the manufacture and marketing of the drug involved while a new supplier becomes qualified by the FDA and its manufacturing process is found to meet FDA standards could, depending

on the particular product, have a material adverse effect on GeoPharma’s results of operations and financial condition. Generally GeoPharma attempts to minimize the effects of any such situation by providing for, where economically and otherwise feasible, two or more suppliers of raw materials for the drugs it intends to manufacture. In addition, GeoPharma may attempt to enter into a contract with a raw material supplier in an effort to ensure adequate supply for its products.

Competition

The principal competitive factor in the generic pharmaceutical market is the ability to be the first company, or among the first companies, to introduce a generic product after the related branded patent expires. Additional competitive factors in the generic pharmaceutical market include:

 

   

introduction of other generic drug manufacturers’ products in direct competition with the Company’s products,

 

   

consolidation among distribution outlets through mergers and acquisitions and the formation of buying groups,

 

   

ability of generic competitors to quickly enter the market after patent expiration or exclusivity periods, diminishing the amount and duration of significant profits,

 

   

the willingness of generic drug customers, including wholesale and retail customers, to switch among pharmaceutical manufacturers,

 

   

pricing pressure and product deletions by competitors,

 

   

A company’s reputation as a manufacturer of quality products,

 

   

a company’s level of service (including maintaining sufficient inventory levels for timely deliveries),

 

   

product appearance and

 

   

A company’s breadth of product line.

Approvals for new products may have a synergistic effect on a company’s entire product line since orders for new products are frequently accompanied by, or bring about, orders for other products available from the same source. We believe that price is a significant competitive factor, particularly as the number of generic entrants with respect to a particular product increases. As competition from other manufacturers intensifies, selling prices typically decline. We hope to compete by selecting appropriate products, based on therapeutic segment market sizes and number of competitors manufacturing the products, and by keeping our prices competitive and by providing reliability in the timely delivery, and in the quality, of our products. Many different manufacturers can sell the same generic drug and hence there will be intense pressure on the pricing. According to the Generic Pharmaceutical Industry Association, generics typically enter the market 30% below the brand price and decline to 60 or 70% of the brand price after two years. The market for generic drugs is highly competitive. There is intense competition in the generic drug industry in the United States, which is eroding price and profit margins. We compete with numerous pharmaceutical manufacturers, including both generic and brand-name manufacturers, many of which have been in business for a longer period of time than us, have a greater number of products in the market and have considerably greater financial, technical, research, manufacturing, marketing and other resources.

Competition related to the contract manufacture of nutriceuticals in which we operate are also highly competitive. Numerous companies, many of which have greater size, financial, personnel, distribution and other resources than us, compete with us in our development, manufacture, distribution, wholesaling and retailing businesses. GeoPharma’s branded products face substantial competition from broad line manufacturers, large private label manufacturers, and more recently from large pharmaceutical companies. Increased competition from companies with greater financial, manufacturing, distribution and marketing capabilities than our own could have a materially adverse affect on our operations. We compete on the basis of product quality, cost and

customer service. GeoPharma’s branded products’ success depends primarily on our increasing brand recognition across multiple distribution channels, our ability to quickly develop, advertise, market and promote new and existing products with high quality and value, and our efficient distribution of these products. Our competitors include chain drug stores, such as CVS and Walgreen’s; prescription benefit managers, such as Express Scripts; warehouse clubs, such as BJ’s and Costco; mail order pharmacies; major department stores, such as Macy’s and Nordstrom; and health, beauty salons, spas and Internet portals with shopping services, such as Yahoo!, Excite, and America Online.

Many of these competitors currently offer online ordering of their products. In addition, many of these online and traditional competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, and substantially greater economic, marketing and other resources than we do. These resources may provide some of these competitors with greater opportunities to form joint ventures and favorable vendor agreements as this market develops. In addition, traditional pharmacies can provide customers with the ability to see and feel products, and may be able to address immediate customer product needs in ways that we cannot.

Trademarks and Intellectual Property

GeoPharma utilizes the federally registered trademarks Lean Protein®, Nutrisure®, Physician Pharmaceutical® 12-and Arth-Aid®. GeoPharma and its regulatory staff, as assisted by our president, Dr. Kotha Sekharam, also filed for three additional patents for products already in the market with ‘patent pending’ status. We also utilize the registered domain names leanprotein.com, ihp-inc.com, and onlineihp.com. GeoPharma believes that protecting our trademarks and registered domain names is crucial to our business strategy of building strong brand name recognition and that such trademarks have significant value in the marketing of our products. Our policy is to pursue registrations of all the trademarks associated with our key products. We rely on common law trademark rights to protect our unregistered trademarks. Common law trademark rights generally are limited to the geographic area in which the trademark is actually used, while a United States federal registration of a trademark enables the registrant to stop the unauthorized use of the trademark by any third party anywhere in the United States. Furthermore, the protection available, if any, in foreign jurisdictions may not be as extensive as the protection available to us in the United States. Although we seek to ensure that we do not infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, there can be no assurance that third parties will not assert intellectual property infringement claims against us. Any infringement claims by third parties against us may have a materially adverse affect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Government Regulation

Generic and over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements and other health and beauty care products are subject to significant government regulation. These products are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”), Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), Consumer Product Safety Commission, as well as other state and federal regulatory entities. While we use our best efforts to adhere to the regulatory and licensing requirements, as well as any other requirements affecting our products, compliance with these often requires subjective legislative interpretation. Consequently, we cannot assure that our compliance efforts will be deemed sufficient by regulatory agencies and commissions enforcing these requirements. Violation of these regulations may result in civil and criminal penalties, which could materially and adversely affect our operations. Recent events have suggested that the regulatory requirements governing our industry may expand in the near future.

A generic drug is identical, or bioequivalent, to a brand name drug in dosage form, safety, strength, route of administration, quality, performance characteristics and intended use. Generic drugs can be manufactured after the expiration of patents or exclusivities associated with the drug. Although generic drugs are chemically identical to their branded counterparts, they are typically sold at substantial discounts from their branded equivalent’s price.

Brand name drugs, also called innovator drugs, generally are protected by one or more patents. When patents or other periods of exclusivity expire, manufacturers can submit an ANDA for the approval of a human

generic drug and ANDA for an animal drug. The animal ANDA process does not require the drug sponsor to repeat costly animal and clinical research on ingredients or dosage forms already approved for effectiveness and safety.

To gain FDA approval, a generic drug must (a) contain the same active ingredients as the innovator drug (inactive ingredients may vary) (b) be identical in strength, dosage form, and route of administration (c) have the same use indications (d) be bioequivalent (e) meet the same batch requirements for identity, strength, purity, and quality (f) be manufactured under the same strict standards of FDA’s good manufacturing practice regulations required for innovator products.

There are generally two types of applications that would be used to obtain FDA approval for pharmaceutical products:

New Drug Application (“NDA”): Generally, the NDA procedure is required for drugs with active ingredients and/or with a dosage form, dosage strength or delivery system of an active ingredient not previously approved by the FDA. We do not expect to submit an NDA in the foreseeable future during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008.

Abbreviated New Drug Application (“ANDA”): The Waxman-Hatch Act established a statutory procedure for submission of ANDAs to the FDA covering generic equivalents of previously approved brand-name drugs. Under the ANDA procedure, an applicant is not required to submit complete reports of preclinical and clinical studies of safety and efficacy, but instead is required to provide bioavailability data illustrating that the generic drug formulation is bioequivalent to a previously approved drug. Bioavailability measures the rate and extent of absorption of a drug’s active ingredient and its availability at the site of drug action, typically measured through blood levels. A generic drug is bioequivalent to the previously approved drug if the rate and extent of absorption of the generic drug are not significantly different from that of the previously approved brand-name drug.

The FDA may deny an ANDA if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. The FDA may withdraw product approvals if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if new evidence demonstrating that the drug is unsafe or lacks efficacy for its intended uses becomes known after the product reaches the market. The timing of final FDA approval of ANDA applications depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the maker of the applicable branded drug is entitled to the protection of one or more statutory exclusivity periods, during which the FDA is prohibited from approving generic products. FDA approval is required before each dosage form of any new drug can be marketed. Applications for FDA approval must contain information relating to bio-equivalency, product formulation, raw material suppliers, stability, manufacturing processes, packaging, labeling and quality control. FDA procedures require full-scale manufacturing equipment to be used to produce test batches for FDA approval. Validation of manufacturing processes by the FDA also is required before a company can market new products. The FDA conducts pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to enforce these rules. Supplemental filings are required for approval to transfer products from one manufacturing site to another and may be under review for a year or more. In addition, certain products may only be approved for transfer once new bio-equivalency studies are conducted.

The FDA issued a final rule on June 18, 2003, which became effective on August 18, 2003, streamlining the generic drug approval process by limiting a drug company to only one 30-month stay of a generic drug’s entry into the market for resolution of a patent challenge. This will help maintain a balance between the innovator companies’ intellectual property rights and the desire to get generic drugs on the market in a timely fashion. The rule clarifies the types of patents that innovators must submit for listing and prohibits the submission of patents claiming packaging, intermediates or metabolite innovations. Patents claiming a different polymorphic form of the active ingredient described in a NDA must be submitted if the NDA holder has test data demonstrating that the drug product containing the polymorph will perform in the same way as the drug product described in the NDA. The final rule also clarifies the type of patent information required to be submitted and revises the declaration that NDA applicants must provide regarding their patents to help ensure that NDA applicants submit only appropriate patents.

The final rule is intended to make the patent submission and listing process more efficient, as well as enhance the ANDA and 505(b)(2) application approval process. The changes are designed to enable consumers to save billions of dollars each year by making it easier for generic drug manufacturers to get safe and effective products on the market when the appropriate patent protection expires.

In addition to the federal government, various states have laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of pharmaceuticals, as well as regulations dealing with the substitution of generic drugs for brand name drugs. The Company’s operations are also subject to regulation, licensing requirements and inspection by the states in which its operations are located and/or it conducts business.

Certain activities of GeoPharma may also be subject to FTC enforcement. The FTC enforces a variety of antitrust and consumer protection laws designed to ensure that the nation’s markets function competitively, are vigorous, efficient and free of undue restrictions. We are also is governed by federal and state laws of general applicability, including laws regulating matters of environmental quality, working conditions and equal employment opportunity.

The manufacture, packaging, labeling, advertising, promotion, distribution and sale of our dietary supplements manufactured is subject to regulation by numerous governmental agencies, particularly the FDA, which regulates our products under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and the FTC, which regulates the advertising of our products under the Federal Trade Commission Act. Our products are also subject to regulation by, among other regulatory agencies, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the United States Department of Agriculture, the United States Department of Environmental Regulation and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The manufacture, labeling and advertising of our products is also regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration through various state and local agencies where our products are distributed.

Our manufacture of dietary supplements is subject to significant labeling regulation. Labeling claims are governed by the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, and the recent Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). Our manufacture of over-the-counter drugs must comply with all Food and Drug Administration guidelines and Food and Drug Administration enforced Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) regulations for those products as set forth in official monographs of the United States Pharmacoepia and other applicable laws enforced by the Food and Drug Administration. These include manufacturing and product information, such as claims in a product’s labeling, package inserts, and accompanying literature. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 guidelines permit certain dietary supplement labeling claims without prior authorization by the Food and Drug Administration, provided that the manufacturer has substantiation for the claims and complies with certain notification and disclaimer requirements. The legislation gives dietary supplement manufacturers more freedom to market their products, while providing consumers adequate information for informed decisions on the use of supplements.

Under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 and previous food labeling laws, supplement manufacturers may use three types of labeling claims, with the approval of the Food and Drug Administration. These claims include nutrient-content claims, disease claims, and nutrition-support claims, which include “structure-function claims.” Nutrient-content claims describe the level of a nutrient in a food or dietary supplement. For example, a supplement containing at least 200 mg of calcium per serving could carry the claim “high in calcium.” Disease claims show a link between a substance and a disease or health-related condition. The Food and Drug Administration authorizes disease claims based on a direct review of scientific evidence or documentation of established diet-to-health links from highly regarded scientific bodies, such as the National Academy of Sciences. For example, it is permissible to advertise a link between calcium and a lower risk of osteoporosis, if the supplement contains sufficient amounts of calcium. Nutrition-support claims describe a link between a nutrient and deficiency diseases that may result from diets lacking the nutrient. For example, the label of a Vitamin C supplement could state that Vitamin C prevents scurvy. When these types of claims are used, the label must mention the prevalence of the nutrient-deficiency disease in the United States. Finally,

 

67


Table of Contents

structure- function claims refer to the supplement’s effect on the body’s structure or function, including its overall effect on a person’s well-being. For example, a structure-function claim could state “antioxidants maintain cell integrity.” Structure-function claims must be accompanied by the disclaimer “This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.” Manufacturers who plan to use a structure-function claim on a particular product must inform the Food and Drug Administration of the use of the claim no later than 30 days after the product is first marketed. The Food and Drug Administration may then advise the manufacturer to change or delete the claim. Claims made for our dietary supplement products may include statements of nutritional support and health and nutrient content. The Food and Drug Administration’s interpretation of what constitutes an acceptable statement of nutritional support may change in the future thereby requiring that we revise our labels. The Food and Drug Administration recently issued a proposed rule on what constitutes permitted structure/function claims as distinguished from prohibited disease claims. Although we believe our product claims comply with the law, depending on the content of the final regulation, we may need to revise our labels.

GeoPharma’s advertising of dietary supplement products is also subject to regulation by the Federal Trade Commission under the Federal Trade Commission Act, in addition to state and local regulation. The Federal Trade Commission Act prohibits unfair methods of competition and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in or affecting commerce. The Federal Trade Commission Act also provides that the dissemination or the causing to be disseminated of any false advertisement pertaining to drugs or foods, which would include dietary supplements, is an unfair or deceptive act or practice. Under the Federal Trade Commission’s Substantiation Doctrine, an advertiser is required to have a “reasonable basis” for all objective product claims before the claims are made. Failure to adequately substantiate claims may be considered either deceptive or unfair practices. Pursuant to this Federal Trade Commission requirement we are required to have adequate substantiation for all material advertising claims made for our products.

In recent years the Federal Trade Commission has initiated numerous investigations of dietary supplement and weight loss products and companies. The Federal Trade Commission is reexamining its regulation of advertising for dietary supplements and has announced that it will issue a guidance document to assist supplement marketers in understanding and complying with the substantiation requirement. Upon release of this guidance document we will be required to evaluate our compliance with the guideline and may be required to change our advertising and promotional practices. We may be the subject of investigation in the future. The Federal Trade Commission may impose limitations on our advertising of products. Any such limitations could materially adversely affect our ability to successfully market our products. The Federal Trade Commission has a variety of processes and remedies available to it for enforcement, both administratively and judicially, including compulsory processes, cease and desist orders, and injunctions. Federal Trade Commission enforcement can result in orders requiring, among other things, limits on advertising, corrective advertising, consumer redress, divestiture of assets, rescission of contracts and such other relief as may be deemed necessary. A violation of such orders could have a material adverse affect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Governmental regulations in foreign countries where our plans to commence or expand sales may prevent or delay entry into the market or prevent or delay the introduction, or require the reformulation, of certain of our products. Compliance with such foreign governmental regulations is generally the responsibility of our distributors for those countries. These distributors are independent contractors over whom we have limited control.

GeoPharma manufactures certain products pursuant to contracts with customers who distribute the products under their own or other trademarks. Such private label customers are subject to government regulations in connection with their purchase, marketing, distribution and sale of such products. We are subject to government regulations in connection with our manufacturing, packaging and labeling of such products. Our private label customers are independent companies and their labeling, marketing and distribution of their products is beyond our control. The failure of these customers to comply with applicable laws or regulations could have a materially adverse effect on GeoPharma’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Table of Contents

GeoPharma may be subject to additional laws or regulations by the Food and Drug Administration or other federal, state or foreign regulatory authorities, the repeal of laws or regulations which we consider favorable, such as the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, or more stringent interpretations of current laws or regulations, from time to time in the future. We are unable to predict the nature of such future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we predict what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative orders, when and if promulgated, would have on our business in the future. The Food and Drug Administration or other governmental regulatory bodies could, however, require the reformulation of certain products to meet new standards, the recall or discontinuance of certain products not able to be reformulated, imposition of additional record keeping requirements, expanded documentation of the properties of certain products, expanded or different labeling and scientific substantiation. Any or all of such requirements could have a materially adverse affect on GeoPharma’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Innovative Health Products’ nutraceutical facility was inspected by the Department of Agriculture and the FDA in November 2004, and although we did receive an FDA 483, a written list of observations, were found to be generally in compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and do not believe the observations were material. Innovative Health has taken appropriate corrective actions based on the FDA inspection findings.

Belcher Pharmaceuticals facility was inspected by the FDA, the DEA and the Department of Agriculture all of which found us generally in compliance. As we have in the past, GeoPharma, through Belcher, will continue our strong focus on compliance activities at all levels of the company in support of our current and future strategic growth plans .

Manufacturing

Currently, GeoPharma can manufacture approximately 900 million tablets and capsules annually. Our manufacturing facilities normally operate two shifts per day, five days per week. Certain packaging lines or capsule and tablet production lines run longer as demand warrants. We operate flexible manufacturing lines that can shift output efficiently among various pieces of equipment depending upon factors such as batch size, tablets or capsule count, and labeling requirements. We strive to fulfill and ship all orders within 30-60 days. While we believe we can double our sales volume without expanding our current facilities, we will expand our manufacturing capacities upon receiving Food and Drug Administration registration for production of generic and other over-the-counter drugs. An increase in production would require additional space and personnel for warehousing and shipping operations, but would not necessarily require substantial capital investment. Our manufacturing revenues are generated by fulfilling sales orders received from our customers within an average turn-around time ranging from 30-60 days. Consequently, we experience a backlog for future revenues at all times. As of March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, GeoPharma had approximately $7,650,000, $6,000,000 and $3,879,000, respectively, in backlog manufacturing sales orders.

Private Label Products-Manufacturing

Sales of our manufactured private label products accounted for approximately 45.6% of our total consolidated revenues, or $27.3 million for the year ended March 31, 2007, 36% of our total consolidated revenues, or $17.9 million for the year ended March 31, 2006 and approximately 41.4% of our total consolidated revenues, or $11.7 million for the year ended March 31, 2005. We currently manufacture products for over 400 private label customers in 47 states in the United States and ship to several countries internationally. Our private label business has a widely distributed revenue base. For the year ended March 31, 2007, we had sales of 5% or more of total consolidated revenues to three of our nonaffiliate private label customers, Spectrum Group, Inc., of which accounted for 11.4%, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals, Inc. which accounted for 8.6% of total consolidated revenues and Nutracea, Inc. with 5.9%. For the year ended March 31, 2006, we had sales of 5% or more of total consolidated revenues to two of our nonaffiliate private label customers, Spectrum Group, of which accounted for 12.2% and Direct Marketing, Inc. which accounted for 5% of total consolidated revenues. For the

 

69


Table of Contents

year ended March 31, 2005, we had sales of 5% or more of total consolidated revenues to one of our nonaffiliate private label customers, Spectrum Group, of which accounted for 11.2% of total consolidated revenues. For the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, we did not have sales of 5% or more of total consolidated revenues to any company that is a party to an exclusive manufacturing agreement with us.

It is important to note that GeoPharma’s actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Additionally, the following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Financial Statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Report.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

GeoPharma derives revenues from developing, manufacturing and distributing a wide variety of cosmetics, over-the-counter, pharmaceutical and generic drugs, and prescription and non-prescription products. We also derive revenues from the distribution of our branded product lines, CarbSlim, Lean Protein and from our branded dietary supplement product lines that this year include DEX-C20 and Hoodia DEX-L10 as well as from distributing others’ product lines. In addition, GeoPharma derives revenues from the services provided in connection with pharmacy benefit management. Service revenues are billed and recognized once the service has been provided. The PBM’s revenues are comprised of amounts billed and recognized based on the number of eligible plan members enrolled in the HMO insurance programs, plan member claims caused by the fulfillment of an eligible HMO member’s drug prescription and related administration costs for pharmacy’s fulfilling drug prescriptions for the number of members and the number of claims for the period.

Cost of goods sold is comprised of direct manufacturing and manufacturing and distribution material product costs, contracted service fees, direct personnel compensation and other statutory benefits and indirect costs relating to labor to support product manufacture, distribution and the warehousing of production and other manufacturing overhead. In addition, for the distribution segment, the cost of all free goods for the purpose of product introduction or other incentive-based product costs are also recorded. The PBM cost of sales amounts recognized represent the direct and indirect costs of the prescription drug claims arising from the pharmacy’s fulfillment of HMO member drug prescriptions that were filled, completed and received by eligible HMO insurance plan members for the period.

Research and development expenses that benefit GeoPharma and that benefit GeoPharma’s customers are charged against either cost of goods sold or included within selling, general and administrative expenses as incurred dependent upon whether the R&D relates to direct product materials expended, direct laboratory and manufacturing production costs or whether it relates to indirect or more facility and administrative type costs representing indirect salaries.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include management and general office salaries, taxes and benefits, advertising and promotional expenses, depreciation and amortization, stock option compensation, insurance expenses, rents, legal and accounting costs, sales and marketing and other indirect operating costs.

Interest expense, net, consists of interest expense associated with borrowings to finance capital equipment expenditures and other working capital needs and non-cash interest expense as related to amortization of the Company’s convertible debt discount as partially offset by interest income earned on our funds held at banks. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, interest expense, net, was further reduced by interest expense incurred that was capitalizable based on pharmaceutical leasehold construction projects in process.

Other income (expense) net, consists of amounts received from an insured loss that occurred on August 27, 2002, where a commercial building where one of our manufacturing facilities is located, was involved in a fire. Although this fire was not in our leased space, nor was the fire caused by the Company or any of its related parties, our facility was exposed to and incurred smoke and water damage. The company that had the fire is not a related party. GeoPharma had adequate insurance coverage that covered replacement cost of the facilities’ contents which included inventory and leasehold improvements, in addition to business interruption insurance which covered lost profits based on certain coverage formulas and policy limits. As of March 31, 2006, the final financial assessment has been made by our Company and by our insurance company which resulted in additional proceeds of approximately $1.3 million of which approximately $800,000 was recognized and recorded as other income.

Upon consummation of the merger of the Florida corporation, Go2Pharmacy, Inc. and the Delaware corporation, Go2Pharmacy.com, Inc. on November 7, 2000, the Company charged $23,625,000 to marketing expense representing the issuance of 3,000,000 shares of the Company’s stock at the initial public offering price of $7.875. This was reflected in the Company’s financial statements as a noncash, nonrecurring marketing expense and was included in the operations of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2001 and is carried forward in subsequent years as a charge within shareholders’ equity.

Effective May 15, 2007, GeoPharma mutually terminated it’s PBM contract with Amerigroup, formerly known as CarePlus Health. Therefore, after the contract termination date, GeoPharma will not receive nor record PBM segment revenues nor incur or record related PBM contract expenses. GeoPharma does not expect to incur contract termination or any related exit costs associated with this contract termination.

This 57.3% case increase is in part based on the timing of new product line extensions and introduction and transfer of the brand from an unrelated third party during February 2006 in addition to on-going new store and mass retail chain entrances. The DEX-L10 product line is comprised of DEX-L10, DEX-L10 Complete, DEX-L10 chews, in chocolate and lemon-lime in addition to various sizes and counts of all of the product offerings mentioned.

The total distribution revenues for the year ended March 31, 2007 were derived from over 99% dietary supplement sales as compared to the corresponding period in 2006 whereas 98% of distribution revenues were derived from dietary supplement case sales.

For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 manufacturing gross margin increased to 41.3%, from 38.2% in the corresponding period in 2006. Sales and gross profits have increased proportionately as partially offset by higher costs due to continued increases in freight charges due to increased fuel costs, increases in resin and plastic-based packaging component costs as well as increased labor costs. Current increases in this type of labor-based direct overhead costs are in line with GeoPharma’s planned improvements surrounding enhanced standard operating and manufacturing procedures in all its manufacturing plants. GeoPharma expects that these improvements will continue to increase the Company’s visibility in the marketplaces that the Company competes in for new and expanded business for the upcoming fiscal year.

GeoPharma’s distribution gross profits increased 45.3% or approximately $2.5 million to approximately $8.1 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, as compared to approximately $5.6 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, with distribution gross margins increasing to 66.7% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 as compared to 37.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006.

Pharmacy benefit management gross margin was 0.8% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

This was based primarily on the Beta-Lactam facility located in Baltimore, Maryland and the Belcher facilities located in Largo, Florida that have no revenue streams but have costs associated with product development and production and laboratory direct labor costs. The Baltimore facility incurred $725,000 of costs with no revenue offset with the balance of $1.9 million attributable to the Belcher facilities. The facility expects to derive revenues from their Beta-Lactams during the quarter ended December 31, 2007 with the Belcher facilities beginning to recognize revenues during the quarter ended September 30, 2007.

Of the $580,000 increase, accounting costs increased $80,000 due to the Company’s IRS tax audit for the 2004-2003 tax years whereby the results of that IRS audit resulted in no amendments being necessary to the Company’s tax

returns as filed for those tax years. Combined insurance costs have increased $262,000 in total, including health, general and product liability insurances; health insurance increased primarily due to an increase in the cost per employee and the number of employees; in addition to external insurance market influences surrounding higher premium costs for all of the Company’s business segments based on our increasing sales revenues.

The other income, net in the prior year was primarily due to the $800,000 in insurance proceeds received based on an August 2002 fire as partially offset by $628,000 in interest expense based on convertible debt outstanding as compared to the current fiscal year ended 2007 which represents interest and other income not offset by any interest expense as the current year’s interest expense of $230,000 was able to be capitalized based on the Company’s on going drug facility related construction. The decrease in interest expense was due the Company paying off the remaining balance of the 6% interest convertible debt due to Laurus in the amount of $2.4 million during February 2006.

As a percentage of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 21.0% for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 from 23.7% in the corresponding period in 2005.

Other Income (Expense), Net. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, the balance in GeoPharma’s other income/(expense), net, changed from a net other expense in 2005 to a net other income in 2006 fluctuating approximately $465,000 or 251.5%, to $280,000 as compared to $(185,000) for the corresponding 2005 period. For the fiscal year ended 2006, the $280,000 was primarily comprised of $374,000 of interest expense in addition to non-cash interest expense consisting of the write-off of approximately $300,000 related to the pay off of the convertible debt and the debt discount as offset by other income of $908,000. The other income was based on $1.3 million being received as final settlement of our fire insurance claim that was filed August 2002. Cash-related interest expense, net of interest income, decreased approximately $117,000 to approximately $374,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006, from approximately $491,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005. The decrease in interest expense was due the Company paying off the remaining balance of the 6% interest convertible debt due to Laurus in the amount of $2.4 million during February 2006.

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit. At March 31, 2006, GeoPharma had recorded $(1,080,800) of income tax expense as compared to a deferred income tax benefit of $212,800 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

The expense is based on effective rate calculations as applied to our net income earned versus the prior period where the deferred tax benefit was calculated based on temporary and permanent differences using the effective tax rates applied to our net loss amounts this fiscal year, changes in information gained related to underlying assumptions about the future operations of GeoPharma as well as the utilization of available operating loss carryforwards.

Management believes that there was no material effect on operations or the financial condition of the Company as a result of inflation as of and for the year ended March 31, 2006. Management also believes that its business is not seasonal, however significant promotional activities can have a direct impact on sales volume in any given quarter.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

GeoPharma has financed its operations through available borrowings under its credit line facilities, cash provided from operations and receipt of $15 million of gross private placement proceeds based on a $10 million 6% convertible preferred stock private placement together with a total of 412,500 warrants at exercise prices ranging from $6.29 to $8.51 exercisable through February 2011 and a $5 million convertible 6%, three-year term debt together with a total of 150,000 warrants at exercise prices ranging from $7.34 to $8.62 exercisable through January 2011 closed during the months of January 2004 through March 2004. Approximately $4,800,000 of the proceeds from the sale of the 6% convertible preferred stock were placed in a restricted account. During December 2004, the holders of the $5 million Series A convertible preferred stock converted all of their preferred shares outstanding in exchange for 800,000 of the Company’s $.01 par value common stock thus releasing the restrictions surrounding the $4.8 million cash received January 2004.

As a direct result of issuing warrants with the $5 million 6% convertible debt in January 2004, GeoPharma recorded $932,365 discount on the three-year term note based on applying a Black-Scholes valuation which lowered the gross amount of the note payable with the $932,365 offset recorded within Additional Paid in Capital (“APIC”). The $932,365 discount will be straight-line amortized to interest expense over the three-year life of the note. As a direct result of issuing warrants with the $10 million 6% convertible preferred stock in February and March, the Company recorded a total of $3,580,963 discount on the $10 million 6% convertible preferred stock based on applying a Black-Scholes valuation which resulted in a net reclassification of $3,580,963 lowering retained earnings and increasing APIC. All Black-Scholes valuations referenced and related entries are noncash transactions. During February 2006, GeoPharma paid off the remaining $2.4 million 6% interest convertible debt balance along with all fees and penalties by issuing approximately 530,000 shares and simultaneously wrote-off approximate $300,000 to interest expense representing the debt discount remaining balance.

During February 2007, GeoPharma closed on a $2 million capital lease line facility and a $5 million line of credit with a bank both at LIBOR+1.5%. As of March 31, 2007, $850,000 was outstanding on the capital lease line facility and nothing was outstanding on the $5 million line of credit.

On April 5, 2007, GeoPharma closed on $12.5 million financing comprised of 8% , 6 year Convertible Debt together with $2.5 million of the Company’s $0.01 par value common stock with the together with 400,000 warrants as related to the $2.5 million in common stock. The $10 million of debt is convertible into GeoPharma’s common stock at $4.36 with the 400,000 warrants convertible into the Company’s common stock at $5.26.

GeoPharma had working capital of approximately $8.6 million at March 31, 2007, inclusive of current portion of long-term obligations, as compared to a working capital of approximately $8.4 at March 31, 2006.

During March 2005, GeoPharma negotiated with an international media company to exchange excess CarbSlim inventory for future credit for use on custom print, radio and television advertising. Based on GeoPharma’s expansion into its own branded consumer product lines coupled with the decline in customer

demand for low-carb products, this excess inventory was able to be redeemed with the media credits having a three-year life. The media credits were recorded based on the net cost of CarbSlim inventory that was exchanged. For the year ended March 31, 2007, the Company wrote off approximately $514,000 to Cost of Sales based on the one year remaining of useful life.

GeoPharma’s net cash provided by financing activities was $681,000 for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 as compared to cash used by financing activities of $(1.3) million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005.

GeoPharma’s management believes that cash expected to be generated from operations, current cash reserves, and existing financial arrangements will be sufficient for GeoPharma to meet its capital expenditures and working capital needs for its operations as presently conducted. GeoPharma’s future liquidity and cash requirements will depend on a wide range of factors, including the level of business in existing operations, expansion of facilities, expected results from recent procedural changes surrounding the acceptance of manufacturing sales orders, and possible acquisitions. In particular, we have added additional manufacturing lines and have purchased additional fully automated manufacturing equipment to meet our present and future growth. Our plans may require the leasing of additional facilities and/or the leasing or purchase of additional equipment in the future to accommodate further expansion of our manufacturing, warehousing and related storage needs.

If cash flows from operations, current cash reserves and available credit facilities are not sufficient, it will be necessary for GeoPharma to seek additional financing. There can be no assurance that such financing would be available in amounts and on terms acceptable to the Company.

Capital Expenditure Commitments

GeoPharma has no contractual commitments as related to capital expenditures as of March 31, 2007 and 2006. However, during February 2007, the Company entered into a 5 year, $2 million capital lease line with a bank at LIBOR+1.5%. As of March 31, 2007, $850,000 was outstanding on this line.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

GeoPharma has identified the policies and significant estimation processes below as critical to their business operations and the understanding of our financial position, results of operations and related cash flows. The following list is not intended to be a comprehensive list and in some cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles thus there is no need for management’s judgment in their application. In some cases however, management is required to exercise judgment in the application of accounting principles with respect to particular transactions. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout GeoPharma’s “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations” where such policies affect reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see Note 2 in the GeoPharma Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 included in this report. The preparation of GeoPharma’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ from those estimates and such differences could be significant.

Principles of Consolidation: The consolidated financial statements for GeoPharma as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 include the corporate, manufacturing and distribution accounts of GeoPharma, Inc. (the “Company”), (“GeoPharma”), which is continuing to do manufacturing business as Innovative Health Products, Inc. (“Innovative”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries IHP Marketing, Breakthrough, Breakthrough Marketing, Belcher, Belcher Capital, Go2PBM Services, Inc., Libi Labs and its 51% owned LLC, American Antibiotics. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Industry Segments: In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, (SFAS 131), Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, a company is required to disclose selected financial and other related information about its operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is utilized by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) related to the allocation of resources and in the resulting assessment of the segment’s overall performance. The measure used by GeoPharma’s CODM is a business segment’s gross profit.

Cash and Cash Equivalents For purposes of the statement of cash flows, GeoPharma considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Inventories Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

Property, Plant, Leasehold Improvements and Equipment Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method, in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives (asset categories range from three to thirty-nine years). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Leased equipment under capital leases is amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or over the service lives of the assets, whichever is shorter, for those leases that substantially transfer ownership. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for tax purposes.

Intangible Assets Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and intellectual property. Effective April 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles”, intangible assets with an indefinite life,

 

81


Table of Contents

namely goodwill and the intellectual property, are not amortized. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis with estimate useful lives ranging from 1 to 3 years. Indefinite lived intangible assets will be tested for impairment yearly and will be tested for impairment between the annual tests should an event occur or should circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. GeoPharma has selected January 1, as the annual date to test these assets for impairment. Based on the required analyses performed as of that annual test date, no impairment loss was required to be recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

Impairment of Assets In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, GeoPharma’s policy is to evaluate whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill when certain events have taken place that indicate the remaining unamortized balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that the intangible assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, GeoPharma uses an estimate of related undiscounted cash flows. Factors considered in the valuation include current operating results, trends and anticipated undiscounted future cash flows. There have been no impairment losses recorded for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005.

Income Taxes GeoPharma utilizes the guidance provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Earning (Loss) Per Common Share Earnings (loss) per share are computed using the basic and diluted calculations on the face of GeoPharma’s statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method.

Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires GeoPharma’s management to make estimates, assumptions and apply certain critical accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at March 31, 2007 and 2006, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Estimates and assumptions used in our financial statements are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions also require the application of certain accounting policies, many of which require estimates and assumptions about future events and their effect on amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. GeoPharma periodically reviews our accounting policies and estimates and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Revenue and Cost of Sales Recognition In accordance with SAB 101, Revenue Recognition, revenues are recognized by GeoPharma when the merchandise is shipped which is when title and risk of loss has passed to the external customer. GeoPharma analyzes the status of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience, customer history and overall credit outstanding. For GeoPharma distribution segment, any charge backs or other sales allowances immediately reduce the gross receivable with the corresponding reduction effected through increases in sales allowances which directly reduce sales revenue. For our PBM segment, service revenues are recognized once the member service of completing and fulfilling delivery of the members’ prescription. Cost of Sales is recognized for the manufacturing and distribution business segments

 

82


Table of Contents

simultaneously with the recognition of revenues with a direct charge to cost of goods sold and with an equal reduction to inventory at FIFO cost. For the PBM segment, cost of sales is recognized based on actual costs incurred and are recognized as the related revenue is recognized.

Advertising Costs GeoPharma charges advertising costs to expense as incurred.

Research and Development Costs Costs incurred to develop GeoPharma generic pharmaceutical products for GeoPharma are expensed.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments GeoPharma, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, uses the following methods and assumptions: Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity. Long-term Obligations: The fair value of GeoPharma’s fixed-rate long-term obligations is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of GeoPharma’s long-term obligations approximated its carrying value. Credit Lines Payable: The carrying amount of the GeoPharma’s credit lines payable approximates fair market value since the interest rate on these instruments corresponds to market interest rates.

Stock-Based Compensation GeoPharma has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). SFAS 123 allows companies which have stock-based compensation arrangements with employees to adopt a new fair-value basis of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments, or to continue to apply the existing accounting required by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” GeoPharma intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation arrangements under APB Opinion No. 25. The Company has also adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” This pronouncement requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reporting results. Effective April 1, 2006, GeoPharma was required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”—Revised (“SFAS 123R”).

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” SFAS No. 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date, and also establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The provisions of this Statement are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. At this time GeoPharma cannot determine whether or not the adoption of this Statement will have a material impact on our financial statements.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The objectives of GeoPharma’s compensation program are as follows:

 

   

Reward performance that drives substantial increases in shareholder value, as evidenced through both future increases in revenues, improvements in our operating profits, penetration into new target markets and increased market price of our common shares; and

 

   

Attract, hire and retain our experienced executives given our specialized industries in which we operate and have targeted to operate in and our overall risk profile.

 

90


Table of Contents

The compensation level of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our President and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) in general is comparable to other industry executives, and reflects the CEO’s, our President’s and CFO’s unique position and incentive to positively affect our future operating performance and shareholder value. Our CEO’s, our President’s and CFO’s compensation is heavily weighted toward equity compensation, primarily through restricted stock grants, to provide a relatively strong personal economic incentive for these executives to increase our revenue, our profits as well as increase the market price of our common shares. Specific salary and bonus levels, as well as the amount and timing of equity incentive grants, has been developed in the Company’s Compensation Incentive Plan (“CIP”). Executive compensation is primarily paid or granted pursuant to the Company’s CIP and each executive’s formal compensation agreement. Compensation adjustments are made occasionally based on changes in an executive’s level of responsibility or on changed local and specific executive employment market conditions.

Employment Arrangements

During February 2004, effective April 1, 2004 , GeoPharma renewed all officers’ three-year employment agreements with Mihir K. Taneja, Chief Executive Officer, Kotha S. Sekharam, President, and Carol Dore-Falcone, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, at annual salaries of $240,000, $170,000 and $160,000, plus benefits, respectively. In addition, the Company renewed the consulting agreement with the Chairman of the Board, Jugal K. Taneja, pursuant to which he is paid an annual fee of $300,000.

Officers and employees are permitted to participate in our benefits and employee benefit plans that may be in effect from time to time, to the extent eligible, and each employee is entitled to receive an annual bonus as determined in the sole discretion of our Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors annually based on the Committee and the Board’s evaluation of the officer’s or employee’s performance as well as GeoPharma’s financial performance as documented in the Company’s Compensation Incentive Plan.

Employee and Non-Employee Stock Option Plans

1999 Employee Stock Option Plan

On September 30, 1999, our Board of Directors and our sole stockholder at that time adopted our 1999 Stock Option Plan. The 1999 plan will enable us to attract and retain top-quality employees, officers, directors and consultants and to provide such employees, officers, directors and consultants with an incentive to enhance stockholder return. The 1999 plan will allow the grant of options to purchase a maximum aggregate of 1,000,000 shares of common stock to our officers, directors, or other key employees and consultants. The plan was amended on May 18, 2004 based on shareholder approval, increasing the number of shares to a total of 1,500,000 shares of common stock.

The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may administer the 1999 plan, and has complete discretion to select the optionees and terms and conditions of each option, subject to the provisions of the 1999 plan. Options granted under the 1999 plan may be “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 411 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or so-called nonqualified options.

The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock as of the date of grant (110% of the fair market value if the grant is to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the company). The Internal Revenue Code currently limits to $100,000 the aggregate value of common stock that may be acquired in any one year pursuant to incentive stock options under the 1999 plan or any other option plan adopted by a company.

Nonqualified options may be granted under the 1999 plan at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified options also may be granted without regard to any restriction on the amount of common stock that may be acquired pursuant to such options in any one year.

 

91


Table of Contents

Subject to the limitations contained in the 1999 plan, options become exercisable at such times and in such installments (but not less than 20% per year) as the Committee shall provide in the terms of each individual stock option agreement. The Committee must also provide in the terms of each stock option agreement when the option expires and becomes unexercisable, and may also provide the option expires immediately upon termination of employment for any reason. No option held by directors, executive officers or other persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be exercised during the first six months after such option is granted.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable stock option agreement, upon termination of employment of an optionee, all options that were then exercisable would terminate three months (twelve months in the case of termination by reason of death or disability) following termination of employment. Any options which were not fully vested and exercisable on the date of such termination would immediately be cancelled concurrently with the termination of employment.

Options granted under the 1999 plan may not be exercised more than ten years after the grant (five years after the grant if the grant is an incentive stock option to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of the company). Options granted under the 1999 plan are not transferable and may be exercised only by the respective grantees during their lifetime or by their heirs, executors or administrators in the event of death. Under the 1999 plan, shares subject to cancelled or terminated options are reserved for subsequently granted options. The number of options outstanding and the exercise price thereof are subject to adjustment in the case of certain transactions such as mergers, recapitalizations, stock splits or stock dividends. The 1999 plan is effective for ten years, unless sooner terminated or suspended.

   393,083  
      

Effective March 31, 2007, the Compensation Committee adopted the Stock Option Conversion Plan whereby all unvested stock options were to be converted to 3-year restricted stock based on a predetermined exchange formula. Of the total 216,667 forfeited, the 66,667 stock options forfeited is the result of this exchange with the Company charging $298,678 in the current year to stock option expense; the $298,678 charged to stock option expense represents the excess value of the restricted stock received versus the value of the unvested stock option forfeited. $1,536,947 was recorded as a deferred compensation asset that will be amortized over three years, the life of the restricted stock. Therefore, as of March 31, 2007 no stock options were unvested with the remaining 393,083 stock options outstanding being vested.

1999 Non-Employee Stock Option Plan

On September 30, 1999, our Board of Directors and sole stockholder adopted our 1999 non-employee stock option plan. The 1999 non-employee plan enables us to attract and retain top-quality directors and consultants and to provide such directors and consultants with an incentive to enhance stockholder return. The 1999 non-employee plan allows the grant of options to purchase a maximum aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock to non-employee directors. The plan was amended on May 18, 2004 based on shareholder approval, increasing the number of shares to a total of 1,000,000 shares of common stock.

The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board may administer the 1999 non-employee plan, and has complete discretion to select the optionees and terms and conditions of each option, subject to the provisions of the 1999 non-employee plan. Options granted under the 1999 non-employee plan will not be “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 411 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, they will be so-called nonqualified options.

Nonqualified options may be granted under the 1999 non-employee plan at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified options also may be granted without regard to any restriction on the amount of common stock that may be acquired pursuant to such options in any one year.

Subject to the limitations contained in the 1999 non-employee plan, options become exercisable at such times and in such installments as the Committee shall provide in the terms of each individual stock option agreement. The Committee must also provide in the terms of each stock option agreement when the option expires and becomes unexercisable, and may also provide the option expires immediately upon termination of services for us or for any other reason. No option held by persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be exercised during the first six months after such option is granted.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable stock option agreement, upon termination of engagement of an optionee, all options that were then exercisable would terminate three months (twelve months in the case of termination by reason of death or disability) following termination of services. Any options which were not fully vested and exercisable on the date of such termination would immediately be cancelled concurrently with the termination.

Options granted under the 1999 non-employee plan may not be exercised more than ten years after the grant. Options granted under the 1999 non-employee plan are not transferable and may be exercised only by the

 

94


Table of Contents

respective grantees during their lifetime or by their heirs, executors or administrators in the event of death. Under the 1999 non-employee plan, shares subject to cancelled or terminated options are reserved for subsequently granted options.

The number of options outstanding and the exercise price thereof are subject to adjustment in the case of certain transactions such as mergers, recapitalizations, stock splits or stock dividends. The 1999 non-employee plan is effective for ten years, unless sooner terminated or suspended. We will not grant any options under the 1999 non-employee plan until the plan is appropriately registered pursuant to Florida Statutes or an exemption therefrom is available.

The following represents the nonemployee common stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2007:

Consulting Agreement

Jugal K. Taneja has been a valuable employee of Dynamic Health and our management realized that Mr. Taneja has demonstrated a keen understanding of Dynamic Health’s operations, such that it is desirable to retain Mr. Taneja’s services under a consulting agreement. On February 14, 2002, Dynamic Health entered into a Consulting Agreement with Jugal K. Taneja, to reflect his current position as a consultant to Dynamic Health. During the three year term of the Consulting Agreement, commencing January 1, 2002, Mr. Taneja shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and is free to devote his time, energy and skill to any such person, firm or company as he deems advisable. The annual compensation payable under the agreement was $240,000, as consideration for the services to be rendered under the agreement. On October 1, 2002, upon mutual agreement between the parties, the annual base compensation payable under the agreement was reduced to $150,000. On July 17, 2006, upon mutual agreement between Mr. Taneja and Dynamic Health, commencing August 1, 2006, the annual base compensation payable under the agreement was increased to $170,000. The agreement contains confidentiality and non-compete provisions. The agreement has continued under the same terms and amounts, however, there is no written agreement at this time.

Employment Agreements

On September 30, 2004, Dynamic Health, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, BOSS, entered into an Employment Agreement with Joseph Mies to serve as BOSS’s Chief Operating Officer, effective October 1, 2004. The Employment Agreement provides for an initial three-year term ending September 30, 2007, with an annual base compensation of $100,000. The agreement contains a provision for bonus compensation. The agreement also contains termination provisions for disability, for cause, and for good reason, and it also contains confidentiality and non-competition provisions that prohibit him from competing with Dynamic Health under certain circumstances.

Employee And Non-Employee Stock Option Plans

1999 Stock Option Plan

In March 1999, Dynamic Health’s Board of Directors adopted Dynamic Health’s 1999 Stock Option Plan, which has been approved by its shareholders. The 1999 Plan will enable Dynamic Health to attract and retain top-quality executive employees, officers, directors and consultants, and to provide such executive employees, officers, directors and consultants with an incentive to enhance stockholder return. The 1999 Plan will allow the grant to officers, directors, or other key employees and consultants of Dynamic Health, of options to purchase up to a maximum aggregate of 6,000,000 shares of Dynamic Health common stock.

The Board of Directors of Dynamic Health or a committee of the Board may administer the 1999 Plan, and has complete discretion to select the optionees and terms and conditions of each option, subject to the provisions of the 1999 Plan. Options granted under the 1999 Plan may be “incentive stock options” as defined in Section 411 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 or so-called nonqualified options. The exercise price of incentive stock options may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of Dynamic Health’s common stock as of the date of grant (110% of the fair market value if the grant is to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of Dynamic Health). The Internal Revenue Code currently limits to $100,000 the aggregate value of the common stock that may be acquired in any one year pursuant to incentive stock options under the 1999 Plan or any other option plan adopted by Dynamic Health.

Nonqualified options may be granted under the 1999 Plan at an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of Dynamic Health’s common stock on the date of grant. Nonqualified options also may be granted without regard to any restriction on the amount of common stock that may be acquired pursuant to such options in any one year.

Subject to the limitations contained in the 1999 Plan, options become exercisable at such times and in such installments as the Committee shall provide in the terms of each individual stock option agreement. The

Committee must also provide in the terms of each stock option agreement, when the option expires and becomes unexercisable, and may also provide for the option expiration of at least thirty days upon termination of employment for any reason. No option held by directors, executive officers or other persons subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 may be exercised during the first six months after such option is granted.

Unless otherwise provided in the applicable stock option agreement, upon termination of employment of an optionee, all options that were then exercisable would terminate three months (twelve months in the case of termination by reason of death or disability) following termination of employment. Any options which were not fully vested and exercisable on the date of such termination would immediately be cancelled concurrently with the termination of employment.

Options granted under the 1999 Plan may not be exercised more than ten years after the grant (five years after the grant if the grant is an incentive stock option to an employee who owns more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock of Dynamic Health). Options granted under the 1999 Plan are not transferable and may be exercised only by the respective grantees during their lifetime or by their heirs, executors or administrators in the event of death. Under the 1999 Plan, shares subject to cancelled or terminated options are reserved for subsequently granted options. The number of options outstanding and the exercise price thereof are subject to adjustment in the case of certain transactions such as mergers, recapitalizations, stock splits or stock dividends. The 1999 Plan is effective for ten years, unless sooner terminated or suspended.

On October 17, 2004, a meeting of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of Dynamic Health was held. At the meeting, the Compensation Committee granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of Dynamic Health’s common stock, effective October 1, 2004, to Jugal Taneja, the Company’s Chairman and a principal shareholder of Dynamic Health, as compensation for Mr. Taneja’s personal guarantee to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. of financing in the amount of $6 million, to fund the BOSS acquisition.

Jugal K. Taneja’s beneficially owned shares include approximately 595,383 shares beneficially owned by his wife Manju Taneja. Mr. Taneja exercises no investment or voting power over any of the shares owned by his wife, and disclaims beneficial ownership of those shares.

 

   

Jugal K. Taneja’s beneficially owned shares also include 965,438 shares beneficially owned by Carnegie Capital, Ltd., and approximately 70,858 shares beneficially owned by First Delhi Trust.

The above-referenced table is based on an estimated 14,785,231 GeoPharma common shares issued and outstanding immediately following the Merger, and assumes the issuance of approximately 3.5 million shares of GeoPharma common stock to Dynamic Health shareholders in the merger.

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

After Dynamic Health is merged into DYHP, there will be up to 14,785,231 shares of GeoPharma common stock outstanding, of which up to 3,500,000 shares issued to Dynamic Health’s shareholders, in connection with the Merger, will be registered and freely tradable without securities law restriction. Any of such shares held by “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, which generally includes officers, directors or 10% shareholders, will also be restricted from public sale as “restricted stock.” The shares of common stock of GeoPharma being issued in connection with the merger of Dynamic Health into DYHP to Dynamic Health shareholders who are not members of the Dynamic Health majority, by virtue of registration hereunder, will be freely tradable. In addition, there may be shares of common stock that may be sold pursuant to Rule 144.

In general, under Rule 144, a person who has owned restricted shares beneficially for at least one year is entitled to sell, within any three-month period, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of the then- average preceding four weeks’ average weekly trading volume or one percent of the total number of shares outstanding. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions, notice requirements and the availability of current public information about the company. A person who has not been an affiliate of the company for at least the three months immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned shares for at least two years is entitled to sell the shares under Rule 144 without regard to the limitations described above.

No prediction can be made about the effect that market sales of GeoPharma’s common stock or the availability for sale of GeoPharma’s common stock will have on its market price. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock in the public market could adversely affect the market price for our securities and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of common stock or securities linked to it.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

GeoPharma, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of GeoPharma, Inc, and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal-control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of GeoPharma, Inc. and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005

NOTE 1—BACKGROUND INFORMATION

We were incorporated in 1985 as Energy Factors, Inc., a Florida corporation. In August 1998 we changed our name to Innovative Health Products, Inc., and in February 2000 we changed our name to Go2Pharmacy, Inc., in anticipation of our merger with the Delaware corporation Go2Pharmacy.com, Inc. In September 2002, we changed our name to Innovative Companies, Inc. (“Innovative”). On May 18, 2004, based on majority shareholder vote, the Company changed its name to GeoPharma, Inc. Currently, GeoPharma continues to do manufacturing business under the name Innovative Health Products, Inc. as it represents our manufacturing arm of the Company. Prior to November 7, 2000 Go2Pharmacy, Inc., the Florida corporation was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dynamic Health Products, Inc. (“Dynamic”).

On November 7, 2000, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Company’s registration of 1,000,000 shares of the common stock to be effective. The registration was affected through the filing of Registration Statement No. 333-92849 on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company’s initial public offering, pursuant to this registration, was successfully completed on November 14, 2000. In conjunction with this offering, 1,000,000 shares of common stock, $.01 par value, were sold to the public for net proceeds of $6,655,705. Simultaneously with and conditioned upon the offering, Go2 merged with Go2Pharmacy.com, Inc., a Delaware corporation, in exchange for 3,000,000 shares of its common stock. Other than the $250,000 gross cash capital contribution, Go2Delaware had no assets with any assignable value thus creating no goodwill.

In April 2000, Breakthrough Engineered Nutrition, Inc. (“Breakthrough”), a Florida corporation, which also conducts distribution business as Delmar Labs, was formed as a wholly-owned subsidiary to market and distribute its own functional foods and dietary supplement product lines to national and mass retailers, wholesalers and other retail outlets stores using a network of brokers and distributors throughout the United States and Canada.

In September 2000, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Belcher Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Belcher”), a Florida corporation, in order to manufacture and distribute private label over the counter products.

In March 2001, we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Go2PBM Services, Inc., (“PBM”), a Florida corporation, for the purpose of providing pharmacy benefit management services. PBM administers drug benefits for health maintenance organizations, insurance company plans, preferred provider organizations, self-insured corporate health plans and self-insured labor unions. As a pharmacy benefit manager, we manage all member benefits in low risk plans, while taking an exclusively administrative role in higher risk plans. Our administrative services include claim processing, network management and customer service. We have entered into an agreement to provide our pharmacy benefit management services to a New York State Health Maintenance Organization. Through the development of our manufacturing and pharmacy benefit management efforts, we intend to provide health plans and institutional customers with an efficient source for their pharmacy product needs.

In September 2002, we Florida-incorporated two wholly-owned distribution companies, IHP Marketing, Inc., which also does business as Archer Stevens Pharmaceuticals, and Breakthrough Marketing, Inc., which also does business as Bentley Labs, for the purpose of marketing and distributing additional proprietary brands to the public.

In February 2004, we incorporated a wholly-owned company, Belcher Capital Corporation (“Belcher Capital”), a Delaware corporation, as a result of a $10 million preferred stock and $5 million convertible debt private placement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

In August 2005, we formed American Antibiotics LLC, a Florida limited liability corporation that will manufacture and distribute Beta-Lactam antibiotic pharmaceutical products.

In June 2006, we formed a wholly-owned manufacturing subsidiary named Libi Labs, Inc., a Florida corporation, for the purpose of conducting nutraceutical and cosmeceutical liquid, gel and cream manufacturing for ourselves and others.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 include the corporate, manufacturing and distribution accounts of GeoPharma, Inc. (the “Company”), (“GeoPharma”), which is continuing to do manufacturing business as Innovative Health Products, Inc. (“Innovative”), and its wholly owned subsidiaries IHP Marketing, Breakthrough, Breakthrough Marketing, Belcher, Belcher Capital, Go2PBM Services, Inc., Libi Labs and its 51% owned LLC, American Antibiotics. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

b. Industry Segment

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, (SFAS 131), Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, a company is required to disclose selected financial and other related information about its operating segments. Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is utilized by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) related to the allocation of resources and in the resulting assessment of the segment’s overall performance. The measure used by the Company’s CODM is a business segment’s gross profit. For the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company had four industry segments that accompany corporate: manufacturing, distribution, pharmacy benefit management and pharmaceutical. Each of the business segments total revenues for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 are presented on the face of the statements of operations. The $38,168,566 of total assets as of March 31, 2007 were comprised of $3,167,367 attributable to corporate, $14,179,674 attributable to manufacturing, $6,301,940 attributable to distribution, $420,249 attributable to pharmacy benefit management and $14,099,336 attributable to pharmaceutical. The $32,097,141 of total assets as of March 31, 2006 were comprised of $1,367,236 attributable to corporate, $10,735,828 attributable to manufacturing, $6,540,047 attributable to distribution, $1,496,380 attributable to pharmacy benefit management and $11,957,650 attributable to pharmaceutical.

c. Cash and Cash Equivalents

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

e. Inventories

Inventories are stated at lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method.

f. Property, Plant, Leasehold Improvements and Equipment

Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method, in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives (asset categories range from three to thirty-nine

 

F-7

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

years). Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Leased equipment under capital leases is amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or over the service lives of the assets, whichever is shorter, for those leases that substantially transfer ownership. Accelerated depreciation methods are used for tax purposes.

g. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill and intellectual property. Effective April 1, 2002 with the adoption of SFAS 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangibles”, intangible assets with an indefinite life, namely goodwill and the intellectual property, are not amortized. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis with estimate useful lives ranging from 1 to 3 years. Indefinite lived intangible assets will be tested for impairment yearly and will be tested for impairment between the annual tests should an event occur or should circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. The Company has selected January 1, as the annual date to test these assets for impairment. The unamortized balance of goodwill as of the date of the initial test and still as of March 31, 2007 was $728,896 with the unamortized balance of the intellectual property for the same period was $1,555,115. Based on the required analyses performed as of that annual test date, no impairment loss was required to be recorded for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, 2006 or 2005.

h. Impairment of Assets

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the Company’s policy is to evaluate whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill when certain events have taken place that indicate the remaining unamortized balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that the intangible assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of related undiscounted cash flows. Factors considered in the valuation include current operating results, trends and anticipated undiscounted future cash flows. There have been no impairment losses recorded as of and for the fiscal years 2006 and 2005.

i. Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the guidance provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS 109), Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

j. Earning (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per share are computed using the basic and diluted calculations on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share are calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method. The effect of the preferred stock conversion, the convertible debt warrants and stock options are antidilutive at March 31, 2005 and are therefore excluded from the fully diluted calculation.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Convertible debt and preferred stock warrants, officer, employee and nonemployee stock options and warrants are considered potentially dilutive and are included in the fully diluted share calculation at March 31, 2006. The reconciliation between basic and fully diluted shares are as follows:

   $ 0.19    $ 0.14    $ (.17 )
                      

k. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates, assumptions and apply certain critical accounting policies that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at March 31, 2007 and 2006, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005. Estimates and assumptions used in our financial statements are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. These estimates and assumptions also require the application of certain accounting policies, many of which require estimates and assumptions about future events and their effect on amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. We periodically review our accounting policies and estimates and makes adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Any differences may have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

l. Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are customers with balances that exceed 5% of total consolidated trade accounts receivable, net at March 31, 2007. Four customers, General Nutrition Distribution with 31.5%, Spectrum Group with 20.9%, Berkeley Premium Nutraceuticals with 16.4% and CVS with 5.3% of the total of trade accounts receivable. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are customers with balances that exceed 5% of total consolidated trade accounts receivable, net at March 31, 2006. Four customers, General Nutrition Distribution with 31.4%, Spectrum Group with 21.4%, NutraCea with 10% and Rite Aid Corporation with 7.9% of the total of trade accounts receivable. Concentrations

 

F-9


Table of Contents

GEOPHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the distribution of sales over a large customer base as of March 31, 2005.

For the year ended March 31, 2007, five customers individually exceeded 5% of our total consolidated revenues which included General Nutrition Distribution for 16.2%, Spectrum Group for 11.4%, Berkely Premium Nutraceuticals for 8.6%, NutraCea, Inc. for 5.9% and CarePlus Health, a related party, for 33.3%. For the year ended March 31, 2006, four customers individually exceeded 5% of our total consolidated revenues which included General Nutrition Distribution for 15.3%, 12.2% for Spectrum Group, 5% for Direct Marketing, Inc. and 33.3% for CarePlus Health in relation to total consolidated revenues and for the year ended March 31, 2005, two customers, Spectrum Group and CarePlus Health accounted for 11.2% and 40.5% in relation to total consolidated revenues.

The Company has no concentration of customers within specific geographic areas outside the United States that would give rise to significant geographic credit risk.

As of March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 the Company maintained cash balances in excess of federally insured limits of approximately $0, $1,000,000 and $6,500,000 respectively.

m. Revenue and Cost of Sales Recognition

In accordance with SAB 101, Revenue Recognition, revenues are recognized by the Company when the merchandise is shipped which is when title and risk of loss has passed to the external customer. The Company analyzes the status of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience, customer history and overall credit outstanding. For our distribution segment, any charge backs or other sales allowances immediately reduce the gross receivable with the corresponding reduction effected through increases in sales allowances which directly reduce sales revenue. For our PBM segment, service revenues are recognized once the member service of completing and fulfilling delivery of the members’ prescription.

Cost of Sales is recognized for the manufacturing and distribution business segments simultaneously with the recognition of revenues with a direct charge to cost of goods sold and with an equal reduction to inventory at FIFO cost. For the PBM segment, cost of sales is recognized based on actual costs incurred and are recognized as the related revenue is recognized.

n. Advertising Costs

The Company charges advertising costs to expense as incurred. Advertising expense was $1,211,387, $1,611,617 and $391,141 for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

o. Research and Development Costs

Costs incurred to develop our generic pharmaceutical products for the Company are expensed as incurred and charged to research and development (“R&D”). R&D expenses for the years ended March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005 were approximately $1,500,000, $500,000 and $263,000, respectively.

p. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, uses the following methods and assumptions:

 

F-10


Table of Contents

GEOPHARMA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity.

Long-term Obligations: The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate long-term obligations is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At March 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, the fair value of the Company’s long-term obligations approximated its carrying value.

Credit Lines Payable: The carrying amount of the Company’s credit lines payable approximates fair market value since the interest rate on these instruments corresponds to market interest rates.

q. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 to conform to the presentation as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007.

r. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). SFAS 123 allows companies which have stock-based compensation arrangements with employees to adopt a new fair-value basis of accounting for stock options and other equity instruments, or to continue to apply the existing accounting required by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” The Company intends to continue to account for stock-based compensation arrangements under APB Opinion No. 25. The Company has also adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure.” This pronouncement requires prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reporting results. The additional required disclosure is found in Note 15. Effective April 1, 2006, the Company was required to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123R “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”—Revised (“SFAS 123R”). See Note 15.

s. Registration Agreement

The Company entered into registration rights agreements with regard to the January 29, 2004 convertible debt financing on January 29, 2004, and with regard to the February 10, 2004 convertible preferred stock Series A financing on February 10, 2004 and with regard to the March 5, 2004 convertible stock Series B on March 5, 2004. Pursuant to all of the registration rights agreements, we agreed to file a resale registration statement covering the resale of the shares issuable to the investors upon the exercise of their warrants and conversion of their debentures and preferred stock by February 29, 2004, March 10, 2004 and April 5, 2004 respectively. At inception, the registration rights agreements required us to pay monthly liquidated damages if a registration statement was not declared effective on or prior to April 29, 2004, May 10, 2004 and September 5, 2004 respectively or after declared effective if the registration statements cease for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all registrable securities for which it is required to be effective or the investors are not permitted to utilize the prospectus therein to resell such registrable securities for 20 consecutive calendar days but no more than an aggregate of 30 calendar days during any 12 month period. The amount of monthly liquidating damages equals 1%, 1% and 2% respectively of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investors for any registrable securities held by the investors. Any late payment beyond seven days is subject to interest at an

 

F-11

annual rate of 18%. The Company filed its registration statement with regard to the Series A and B preferred stock, the convertible debt and debentures on April 2, 2004 and it was declared effective on April 23, 2004. Therefore, the Company has met the registration requirements and will continue to do so in the future. Under FASB Staff Position EITF 00-19-2 “Accounting for Registration Payment Agreements”, the Company has reviewed the status of the registration agreement and has determined that the likelihood of the issuer having to make any payments under the arrangement is remote.

NOTE 3—ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET

Accounts receivable, net, consist of the following at March 31,:

 

     2007     2006  

Trade accounts receivable

   $ 8,319,002     $ 7,557,309  

Less allowance for uncollectible accounts

     (263,855 )     (92,284 )
                
   $ 8,055,147     $ 7,465,025  
                

As of March 31, 2007, the total accounts receivable balance of $8,319,002 includes $4,198,976 related to the Company’s manufacturing segment and $4,120,026 related to the Company’s distribution segment. As of March 31, 2006, the total accounts receivable balance of $7,557,309 includes $3,545,079 related to the Company’s manufacturing segment and $4,012,230 related to the Company’s distribution segment.

The Company recognizes revenues for product sales when title and risk of loss pass to its external customers and analyzes the status of the allowance for uncollectible accounts based on historical experience, customer history and overall credit outstanding.

NOTE 12—AMERICAN ANTIBIOTICS LLC

On August 12, 2005, the Company, through American Antibiotics LLC, a newly-formed subsidiary which is 51% owned by the Company, acquired substantially all of the assets of Consolidated Pharmaceutical Group, Inc., (the “Sellers”), an antibiotic manufacturer located in Baltimore, Maryland. The acquisition was made through American Antibiotics LLC, a newly formed Florida limited liability company. American Antibiotics began with five ANDAs in 10 dosage forms; Amoxicillin 250mg and 500mg oral capsule, Amoxicillin 125mg / 5ml and 250mg / 5ml suspensions, Ampicillin 250mg and 500mg oral capsule, Ampicillin 125mg / 5ml and 250mg / 5ml suspensions, and Penicillin V. Potassium 125mg / 5ml and 250mg / 5ml suspension.

GeoPharma has a 51% controlling interest in American Antibiotics LLC in exchange for $3,000,000. In accordance with the Purchase Agreement, the $3,000,000 note was immediately reduced based on a $500,000 cash down payment with the balance due of $2,500,000 amortized over three years at 5% interest with principal and interest serviced annually. In addition, the manufacturing facility located Baltimore, Maryland remains rent free for the longer of twelve months or until the Sellers have brought the Facility to current FDA and cGMP standards.

As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, due to the fact that the Facility is not yet to current FDA and cGMP standards, the note payment of $833,333 and related interest due August 2006 and any related monthly rent payments have not been made. The amounts due under the loan are recorded as a part of the current portion of long-term obligations on the Company’s balance sheet with the monthly rents continuing to accrue in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Both the Company and the Sellers are continuing to work together on bringing the Facility to FDA and cGMP standards. See further consideration at Note 16.

The total unvested options forfeited for all Plans was 1,453,331 unvested options in exchange for 488,666 3-year restricted common stock. As a result, $1,581,703 stock option expense was recorded for the year ended March 31, 2007 with an $1,109,272 deferred compensation asset and an $1,109,272 deferred compensation liability representing the excess value of the stock options exchanged over the value of the 3-year stock yet to be issued. The compensation asset will be amortized over 3 years, the life of the restricted stock.

On September 30, 1999, the Company adopted a Stock Option Plan, which provides for the grant to employees of incentive or non-qualified options to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock; on May 18, 2004, based on a majority shareholder vote, the plan was increased by 500,000, for a total of 1,500,000.

The exercise price represents the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock at the time of the grant. All outstanding options vest equally over three years or sooner upon the change in control of the Company. Options granted under the Plan expire not later than ten years after the date granted or sooner in the event of death, disability, retirement, or termination of employment.

The Non-Employee Plan

The Non-Employee Plan originally provided for the grant of nonqualified stock options to purchase up to 500,000 shares of Common Stock to members of the Board of Directors who are not employees of the Company.

The Company has adopted only the disclosure provision of SFAS No. 123, as it related to employee awards. APB No. 25 is applied in accounting for the plan. Accordingly, no compensation expense is recognized related to the employee and nonemployee director stock based compensation plans although, $66,000 and $51,000 compensation expense has been included in the results from operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 for nonemployee consultants granted stock options under the Company’s nonemployee stock option plan. Effective April 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123R, Share Based Payments—Revised, and as a result has recorded the fair value of all unvested stock options with a stock option compensation expense recorded of $1,581,703 and therefore no proforma differences will be reflected. The pro forma net earnings (loss) per common share, if the Company had elected to account for its employee and nonemployee director plan consistent with the methodology prescribed by SFAS No. 123, are shown in the following for the fiscal years 2007, 2006 and 2005:

Litigation

On September 29, 2006, Schering Corporation (“Schering”) filed an action in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey, against Belcher Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and GeoPharma, Inc. (along with nineteen other defendants) alleging that the filing of Belcher Pharmaceuticals’ Abbreviated new Drug Application (“ANDA”) for 5 mg Desloratadine Tablets, AB-rated to Clarinex®, infringed U.S. Patent No. 6,100,274 (“the ‘274 patent”) Case No. 3:06-cv-04715-MLC-TJB. On November 8, 2006, Belcher filed a motion to dismiss in the New Jersey case for lack of jurisdiction. On October 5, 2006 Schering filed an action in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, Case No. 8:06-cv-01843-SCB-EAJ, against Belcher Pharmaceuticals, Inc. and Geopharma, Inc. alleging that the filing of Belcher Pharmaceuticals’ ANDA for 5 mg Desloratadine Tablets, AB-rated to Clarinex®, infringed the ‘274 patent. Company management and Belcher disputes Schering’s claims in the two actions and believes its proposed desloratadine product does not infringe the ‘274 patent. The possible outcome cannot be determined at this time.

During September 2006, the Company, through its 51% owned subsidiary, American Antibiotics, LLC, filed in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County, Maryland, Case No. C-06-117230, naming defendents Consolidated Pharmaceutical Group (“CPG”), the directors of CPG and two other individuals acting on behalf of CPG (collectively “the Defendents”). The litigation arises from and relates to agreements entered into between American Antibiotics and CPG for the purchase by American Antibiotics all of CPG’s rights, title and interest in various pharmaceutical Abbreviated New Drug Applications (“ANDAs”) and for the Baltimore, Maryland facility lease (the “Lease”). The suit brought by the Company alleges that the Defendents breached the ANDA agreement with certain misrepresentations and by failing to perform all the required improvements and modifications to the Baltimore, Maryland facility.

The case is scheduled for trial in the first calendar quarter of 2008. To date, no counterclaims have been asserted against American Antibiotics.

In December 2004 and January 2005 five securities class action lawsuits were filed in the Federal District Court, Southern District of New York against GeoPharma and certain of its officers, alleging violations of federal securities laws in connection with certain press releases issued by the Company relating to Belcher Pharmaceuticals’ planned introduction of Mucotrol: Mat eVentures v. Kotha Sekharam and GeoPharma, Inc. (SDNY 04 Civ. 9463); Moshayedi v. GeoPharma, Inc., Jugal Taneja, Mihir Taneja, and Kotha Sekharam (SDNY 04 Civ. 9736); Sarno v. Mihir Taneja, Kotha Sekharam, and GeoPharma, Inc. (SDNY 04 Civ. 9975); Farwell v. Kotha Sekharam and GeoPharma, Inc. (SDNY 05 Civ. 188); and Taylor v. Kotha Sekharam and GeoPharma, Inc. (SDNY 05 Civ. 258). Plaintiffs, on behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, seek unspecified damages allegedly suffered in connection with their respective purchases and sales of the Company’s securities during the Class period. On March 9, 2005 the Court consolidated the actions and appointed lead plaintiff and lead counsel. On April 18, 2005 plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint. On June 6, 2005 defendants filed a Motion to Dismiss the action. By Opinion and Order dated September 30, 2005 the Court granted defendents’ motion and dismissed the action without prejudice, with leave to replead. On October 24, 2005 plaintiffs filed a Consolidated Second Amended Class Action Complaint in the action. The Company again moved to dismiss the Second Amended Consolidated Complaint, and after the issues were fully briefed by the parties, by Opinion and Order dated January 27, 2006 the Court again dismissed Plaintiffs’ action, this time with prejudice.

The company received a letter dated April 11, 2005 addressed to its Board of Directors, constituting a shareholder demand pursuant to Florida Statute Sec. 607.07401 from a San Diego law firm representing an alleged shareholder of GeoPharma, Inc. Such letter demanded that the company commence legal proceedings against each Board member and each officer of the company for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty arising out of and/or evidenced by the same actions and circumstances involved in the class action referred to above. At its Board meeting of June 7, 2005, the Board of Directors appointed a committee of independent directors to investigate the allegations outlined in such letter and as such, the investigation is currently underway. On December 29, 2005, Imelda Hoeft, derivatively on behalf of the Company, instituted an action in the Circuit Court of the 6th Judicial Circuit in and for Pinellas County, Florida against the Company and all the Company’s officers and directors asserting claims for breach of fiduciary duty, abuse of control, gross mismanagement, waste of corporate assets and unjust enrichment. The action sought unspecified damages and other relief. On April 21, 2006, plaintiff agreed to dismiss the action, and filed with the Court a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal without Prejudice.

On April 11, 2003 the company filed a lawsuit against Joseph Zappala, a member of the company’s Board of Directors in the Sixth Judicial Circuit in and for Pinellas County, Florida. The lawsuit sought to rescind a purported agreement between the company and Mr. Zappala, breach of a consulting agreement between the company and Mr. Zappala and related claims involving those agreements. Mr. Zappala denied the material allegations against him and has filed a counterclaim against the Company for breach of the consulting agreement.

On April 20, 2004, the Company and Mr. Zappala entered into an agreement (“Settlement Agreement”) pursuant to which each party expressly disclaimed any liability and each party released the other (and all related parties) from all claims, and liabilities arising from the Merger Agreement, the Consulting Agreement and/or the subject matter of the Company’s lawsuit against Mr. Zappala and Go2 (“Lawsuit”), and the parties agreed to dismiss the Lawsuit with prejudice. As provided by the Settlement Agreement: (i) Mr. Zappala transferred ownership of 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to the Company; (ii) the Consulting Agreement was terminated without further liability to either party; and (iii) Mr. Zappala agreed, that during his tenure as a Director of the Company, he would not sell his remaining shares of Company common stock, unless another Director of the Company sells shares of Company common stock. The Company filed Form 8-K on April 26, 2004. On December 3, 2004, Mr. Zappala resigned from the Company’s board of directors.

From time to time we are subject to litigation incidental to our business including possible product liability claims. Such claims, if successful, could exceed applicable insurance coverage.

The Company is, from time to time, involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of its operations in the ordinary course of business. The Company believes that none of the claims that were outstanding as of March 31, 2007 should have a material adverse impact on its financial condition or results of operations.

Employment Agreements

Effective April 1, 2004, the Company renegotiated and renewed executive management’s three year employment agreements with the Chief Executive Officer, the President and the Vice President/Chief Financial Officer at annual salaries for fiscal year ended March 31, 2007 of $240,000, $170,000 and $160,000 plus benefits respectively.

Directors’ Compensation

The Company pays directors fees of $2,500 each per quarter. In addition, each non-employee director receives options to purchase shares of common stock for each year completed of the director’s term and is eligible for a restricted stock award. See further consideration within Note 14 above.

Common Stock

On April 11, 2003 the Company filed a lawsuit against Joseph Zappala, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors in the Sixth Judicial Circuit in and for Pinellas County, Florida. The lawsuit seeks to rescind a purported agreement between the Company and Mr. Zappala, breach of a consulting agreement between the Company and Mr. Zappala and related claims involving those agreements. Mr. Zappala has denied the material allegations against him and has filed a counterclaim against the Company for breach of the consulting agreement.

Based on an average 10-day market closing price of the Company’s common stock from May 1-14, 2007 of $4.24 per share, the transaction would be valued at $14 million, based on an estimated 3.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued to the shareholders of Dynamic Health in the Merger. The actual value at consummation of the Merger will be based on the Company’s share price at that time.

Completion of the Merger of the Dynamic Health into Florida Merger Sub and the issuance of the Company’s common shares to the shareholders of Dynamic Health is subject to the approval of the transaction by the shareholders of both companies, the conversion of Dynamic Health’s convertible notes prior to the closing of the Merger, the receipt of required regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of usual and customary closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and Dynamic Health.

Director and executive officers of the Company beneficially own and are entitled to vote approximately 43% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding. Directors and executive officers of the Dynamic Health beneficially own and are entitled to vote approximately 47% of the shares of Company common stock outstanding. On May 15, 2007, Dynamic Health and the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a joint proxy statement/prospectus on Form S-4, in connection with the proposed acquisition of the Dynamic Health by the Company, pursuant to the terms of the definitive Merger Agreement.

Effective May 15, 2007, the PBM contract by and between Go2PBM Services, Inc and Amerigroup (formerly know as Careplus Health) was terminated. The Company was paid $10,000 for the termination with no contract termination fee expenses paid. Therefore, subsequent to that date, the Company will no longer earn or record revenues nor incur or pay any expenses related to that contract or the related PBM business segment. The Company filed Form 8-K on May 3, 2007.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors

Dynamic Health Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Dynamic Health Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Dynamic Health Products, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated its consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2006 and for the year then ended.

The corresponding unrealized gain or loss in the fair market value in relation to cost is accounted for as a separate component of shareholders’ equity, net of tax.

d. Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are stated at estimated net realizable value. Accounts receivable are comprised of balances due from customers net of estimated allowances for uncollectible accounts. In determining collectibility, historical trends are evaluated and specific customer issues are reviewed to arrive at appropriate allowances (see Note 4).

e. Inventories

Inventories, net, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method (see Note 5).

f. Property, Plant and Equipment

Depreciation is provided for using the straight-line method, in amounts sufficient to relate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives, which range from three to seven years.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

Leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter. Leased equipment under capital leases is amortized using the straight-line method over the lives of the respective leases or over the service lives of the assets, whichever is shorter, for those leases that substantially transfer ownership. Accelerated methods are used for tax depreciation.

g. Equity Method Investments

Investments in companies in which the Company has a 20% to 50% interest are accounted for using the equity method. Accordingly, the investments are carried at cost, adjusted for the Company’s proportionate share of their undistributed earnings or losses.

h. Intangible Assets

Intangible assets consist primarily of goodwill, customer lists and loan costs. Effective April 1, 2002 with the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill And Other Intangibles” (SFAS 142), intangible assets with an indefinite life, namely goodwill, are not amortized. Intangible assets with a definite life are amortized on a straight-line basis with estimated useful lives ranging from one to five years. Loan costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan. Intangible assets with indefinite lives will be tested for impairment yearly and will also be tested for impairment between the annual tests, should an event occur or should circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. The Company has selected September 30 as the annual date to test these assets for impairment.

i. Impairment of Assets

In accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting For The Impairment Or Disposal Of Long-Lived Assets” (SFAS 144), the Company’s policy is to evaluate whether there has been a permanent impairment in the value of long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles and goodwill when certain events have taken place that indicate that the remaining unamortized balance may not be recoverable. When factors indicate that the intangible assets should be evaluated for possible impairment, the Company uses an estimate of related undiscounted cash flows. A deficiency in these cash flows relative to the carrying amounts is an indication of the need for a write-down due to impairment. The impairment write-down would be the difference between the carrying amounts and the fair value of these assets. Losses on impairment are recognized by a charge to earnings. Factors considered in the valuation include current operating results, trends and anticipated undiscounted future cash flows. There were no impairment losses recorded as of and for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

j. Income Taxes

The Company utilizes the guidance provided by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting For Income Taxes” (SFAS 109). Under the liability method specified by SFAS 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities as measured by the enacted tax rates which will be in effect when these differences reverse. Deferred tax expense is the result of changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are provided if necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

k. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Earnings (loss) per share are computed using the basic and diluted calculations on the face of the statement of operations. Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) available to common

shareholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period, adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock equivalents, using the treasury stock method (see Note 20).

l. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at March 31, 2007 and 2006, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006. The actual outcome of the estimates could differ from the estimates made in the preparation of the financial statements.

m. Revenue Recognition

In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition In Financial Statements” (SAB101), revenues result from product sales and are recognized by the Company upon passage of title and risk of loss to customers (when product is delivered to common carrier for shipment to customers). Provisions for discounts and sales incentives to customers, and returns and other adjustments are provided for in the period the related sales are recorded. Sales incentives to customers and returns have thus far been immaterial to the Company. All shipping and handling costs invoiced to customers are included in revenues. Costs incurred by the Company for shipping, handling and warehousing are included in selling, general and administrative expenses, and were $2,119,397 and $1,933,674, for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

n. Advertising Costs

In accordance with Statement of Position No. 93-7, “Reporting On Advertising Costs” (SOP 93-7), the Company charges advertising costs, including those for catalog sales and direct mail, to expense as incurred. Advertising expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the statements of operations and were $359,712 and $421,038 for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

For cooperative advertising allowances received from third party manufacturers and vendors, the Company applies EITF Issue No. 02-16 “Accounting By A Customer (Including A Reseller) For Certain Consideration Received From A Vendor”. These allowances are included as a reduction in cost of goods sold and were $419,623 and $318,455, respectively, for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

o. Research and Development Costs

The Company charges research and development costs to expense as incurred.

p. Stock Based Compensation

Prior to April 1, 2006, the Company had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation”, but applied Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for options issued to employees. Under Opinion No. 25, the intrinsic method was used to determine compensation expense when the fair market value of the stock exceeded the exercise price on the date of grant. No compensation expense had been recognized for stock options granted during the year ended March 31, 2006, except for the amortization of deferred compensation expense that arose in connection

with those options granted on October 1, 2004, to Jugal Taneja, the Chairman of the Board of the Company, for his guarantee of the Laurus convertible debt. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense for stock options based on the fair value at the grant date consistent with the method prescribed by SFAS No. 123, net income (loss) and related per share amounts would have been reduced (increased) (see Note 18).

On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123(R)), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values. The Company adopted FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method. Under the modified prospective transition method, compensation cost is recognized on a prospective basis for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of April 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123(R). For share-based payment awards granted after April 1, 2006, the Company recognizes compensation cost based on estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. In accordance with the modified prospective method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FAS 123(R) (see Note 18).

q. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company, in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments, uses the following methods and assumptions:

Cash, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses: The carrying amounts reported in the balance sheet for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair value due to their relatively short maturity.

Short-Term Obligations: The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate short-term obligations is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the fair value of the Company’s short-term obligations approximated its carrying value.

Revolving Note Payable: The carrying amount of the Company’s revolving note payable approximates fair market value since the interest rate on this instrument corresponds to market interest rates.

Long-Term Obligations: The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate long-term obligations is estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate long-term obligations approximated its carrying value.

r. Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2006 to conform to the presentation as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007.

s. Restatement

Diluted Earnings Per Share

The Company corrected its calculations of diluted earnings per share and the diluted weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the year ended March 31, 2006, to take into effect the as if converted method and the treasure stock method. The effect of the restatement of diluted earnings per share on the Company’s comparative statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2006 was $(0.32).

The Company has net operating losses that expire through March 31, 2027.

NOTE 12—REVOLVING NOTE PAYABLE

On March 29, 2005, the Company entered into agreements with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”), a Cayman Islands corporation, whereby the Company completed the sale to Laurus of convertible debt and a warrant to purchase Company common stock in a private offering pursuant to exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. The securities sold to Laurus include the following:

 

   

A secured convertible minimum borrowing note with a principal amount of $2,000,000;

 

   

A secured revolving note with a principal amount not to exceed $4,000,000; and

 

   

A common stock purchase warrant to purchase 750,000 shares of common stock of the Company, at a purchase price of $1.37 per share, exercisable for a period of seven years.

The combined principal amount that may be outstanding under the $2,000,000 minimum borrowing note and the $4,000,000 revolving note at any point in time cannot exceed $4,000,000.

The proceeds of the funding were used for the March 31, 2005 acquisition of Dynamic Marketing, Inc., for costs associated with the acquisition and for working capital. The borrowing is in excess of the advance rates provided for in the note. The lender has issued a waiver to this covenant whereby the Company is permitted to bring the ratios into compliance within one year from the date of the note.

We incurred loan costs of $221,674 associated with the notes. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, the outstanding principal balance on the notes was $2,274,413 and $2,751,564, respectively.

Because the common stock underlying the conversion feature embedded in the $2,000,000 convertible minimum borrowing note and the warrant are subject to our Registration Rights Agreement with Laurus, they have been accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities (see Note 15). The embedded derivative instruments (primarily the conversion feature) related to the $2,000,000 convertible minimum borrowing note were bifurcated and recorded as a derivative instrument liability. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at $937,500. Because the fair value of the warrants of $937,500 and the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument of $2,530,973 exceeded the proceeds received, the convertible minimum borrowing note was initially recorded at zero and an initial expense of $1,468,473 was recognized to record the warrants and the bifurcated derivative instrument at their fair values (see Note 15).

The Company is permitted to borrow an amount based upon its eligible accounts receivable and inventory, as defined in the agreements with Laurus. The Company must pay certain fees for any unused portion of the credit facility or in the event the facility is terminated prior to expiration. The Company’s obligations under the notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company, including but not limited to inventory and accounts receivable. The notes mature on March 29, 2008. Annual interest on the Notes is equal to the “prime rate” published in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, plus 2.0%, provided, that, such annual rate of interest may not be less than 6%, subject to certain downward adjustments resulting from certain increases in the market price of the Company’s common stock. Interest on the notes is payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing on April 1, 2005.

The principal amount of the secured convertible minimum borrowing note, together with accrued interest thereon is payable on March 29, 2008. The secured convertible minimum borrowing note may be redeemed by the Company in cash by paying the holder 115% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The holder of the term note may require the Company to convert all or a portion of the term note, together with interest and fees thereon at any time. The number of shares to be issued shall equal the total amount to be converted, divided by $1.13.

Upon an issuance of shares of common stock below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the notes will be reduced accordingly. In connection with the September 12, 2005 stock issuance, the lender waived this provision. The conversion price of the secured convertible notes may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if the Company pays a stock dividend, subdivides or combines outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or takes such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution.

115% of the full principal amount of the convertible notes is due upon default under the terms of the convertible notes. Laurus has contractually agreed to restrict its ability to convert if the convertible notes would exceed the difference between the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by the holder or issuable upon exercise of the warrant and the option held by such holder and 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, this provision was modified from 4.99% to 9.99%. In addition, this restriction would not apply in the event there was an event of default or if we sought to redeem the outstanding balance of the convertible debentures.

The warrants were exercisable until seven years from the date of the notes at a purchase price equal to $1.37 per share. The warrants were exercisable on a cashless basis. In the event that the warrants were exercised on a

cashless basis, then the Company would not receive any proceeds. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants would be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of this warrant or issued in connection with the convertible minimum borrowing note. In September 2005, we sold 150,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price below market. In connection therewith, Laurus waived their anti-dilution provisions related to all convertible notes and warrants issued to Laurus. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, we issued 52,941 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, in exchange for cancellation of the 750,000 warrants.

The Company was obligated to file a registration statement registering the resale of shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes, exercise of the warrant and exercise of the conversion option. If the registration statement was not filed by April 28, 2005, or declared effective within 75 days thereafter, or if the registration is suspended other than as permitted, in the registration rights agreement between the Company and Laurus, the Company was obligated to pay Laurus certain fees and the obligations may be deemed to be in default. On April 22, 2005, the Company filed such registration statement on Form S-2, which was subsequently withdrawn by the Company.

On July 19, 2005, the Company entered into a Postponement Agreement with Laurus, whereby Laurus agreed to postpone the Company’s obligation to make certain amortization payments on its September 30, 2004 secured convertible note (see Note 14). In connection with the agreement, Laurus agreed to amend the Registration Rights Agreement with the Company, to extend the dates for the filing requirements of the Registration Statement.

On August 19, 2005, the Company filed such Registration Statement on Form S-2 for the registration of up to 3,219,690 shares of the Company’s common stock, including up to 2,194,690 shares of common stock underlying the March 29, 2005 convertible minimum borrowing note issued to Laurus, in the principal amount of $2,000,000, up to 750,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants, and up to 275,000 shares issued in connection with the July 19, 2005 Postponement Agreement. Such Registration Statement was subsequently withdrawn by the Company on May 11, 2006.

In November 2005, the Company reached an agreement with Laurus in principle pursuant to which we will be obligated to pay Laurus $48,000 as payment in full for all late effectiveness fees. The agreement was subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement.

On April 28, 2006, the Company entered into a Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, pursuant to which the Company modified the September 30, 2004 and the March 29, 2005 earlier agreements among the parties. The Postponement and Amendment Agreement provides for the following:

 

   

Principal payments under the September 30, 2004 note are reduced by $137,500 per month for the eight months commencing May 2006, all of which shall be paid on the maturity date of the convertible note;

 

   

The Company’s obligation to repay overadvances of up to $1,721,000 under the March 29, 2005 notes shall be suspended for a period of eight months;

 

   

All of the common stock purchase warrants issued to Laurus in connection with the September 30, 2004 and March 29, 2005 agreements are cancelled in their entirety;

 

   

In connection with the foregoing, the Company issued 150,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, for cancellation of the warrants issued to Laurus;

 

   

In connection with the foregoing, the Company issued 275,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, for postponement of the portion of principal payments in connection with the September 30, 2004 note.

The fair value of the 275,000 shares issued in connection with the April 28, 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement was $45,000, based upon the closing price of our common stock on that date. This financing cost was recorded as a discount on the September 2004 note and the discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note, in accordance with EITF 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.

In connection with the Postponement and Amendment Agreement, the Company also executed restated promissory notes in favor of Laurus and an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Restated Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Restated Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement by June 30, 2006, covering the resale of the securities issued or issuable to Laurus. The Company was obligated to have such registration statement declared effective by September 30, 2006, but there were no stated penalties for failure to meet such deadline.

On July 3, 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 for the registration of up to 10,221,275 shares of the Company’s common stock, including up to 2,194,690 shares of common stock underlying the March 2005 secured convertible notes, up to 7,326,585 shares of common stock underlying the September 2004 secured convertible notes, 275,000 shares of common stock underlying the July 2005 postponement agreement, and 425,000 shares of common stock underlying the April 2006 amendment and postponement agreement. Such Registration Statement was subsequently withdrawn by the Company on October 4, 2006.

On October 4, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus pursuant to which the Company modified the earlier agreements among the parties (the “Amendment Agreement”). The Amendment Agreement (i) eliminated the obligation of the Company to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the securities sold in September 2004, and (ii) removed Laurus’ right to waive 9.99% ownership limitations contained in their convertible debentures.

In connection with the Amendment Agreement, the Company also executed second amended and restated promissory notes in favor of Laurus. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to file a registration statement by October 20, 2006, covering the resale of certain securities issued or issuable to Laurus. The Company was obligated to have such registration statement declared effective by November 30, 2006, but there were no stated penalties for failure to meet such deadline. Laurus could have declared the obligations in default and sought immediate repayment, but it gave no indication of doing so. If immediate repayment had been required, we would not have had sufficient funds and Laurus could have taken legal action to recover amounts due from our assets.

On October 20, 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 for the registration of up to 2,761,335 shares of the Company’s common stock, including up to 2,061,335 shares of common stock underlying the March 2005 secured convertible notes, 275,000 shares of common stock underlying the July 2005 postponement agreement, and 425,000 shares of common stock underlying the April 2006 amendment and postponement agreement. On December 14, 2006, March 8, 2007 and March 27, 2007, the Company filed amendments to this Registration Statement on Form SB-2. On April 9, 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement to be effective.

On May 24, 2006, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with Laurus, pursuant to which the Company modified earlier agreements among the parties. In connection with the March 29, 2005 financing, the Company received certain overadvances of funds in the aggregate amount of $572,094, as of May 24, 2006. In accordance with the Amendment Agreement, Laurus permitted the Company to sell a sufficient number of shares

of GeoPharma, pledged by the Company to Laurus, in connection with the September 30, 2004 financing, by June 5, 2006 in satisfaction of the overadvances, with the proceeds being paid to Laurus. Any remaining unsold shares of GeoPharma were delivered to Laurus to be held pursuant to the original pledge agreement.

On April 11, 2007, the Company entered into a Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus pursuant to which the Company modified the earlier agreements among the parties. The agreement provides for the following:

 

   

Principal payments under the September 2004 note are reduced to $75,000 per month for each of the months commencing January 2007 through the maturity date of the note, at which time all deferred payments become due and owing;

 

   

The Company’s obligation to repay overadvances of up to $1,721,000 under the March 2005 revolving note shall be due and payable on December 31, 2007;

 

   

In consideration for the foregoing, the Company issued an aggregate of 350,000 restricted shares of its common stock to Laurus.

The revolving note payable provides for borrowings utilizing an asset based formula, based on eligible accounts receivable and inventory, less certain allowances and reserves.

Revolving note payable consists of the following at March 31, 2007 and 2006:

 

     2007     2006  
Principal balance of revolving note payable collateralized by all assets, interest payable at prime (8.25% at March 31, 2007 and 7.75% at March 31, 2006) plus 2% through March 29, 2008.    $ 2,274,413     $ 2,751,564  
Less face value of convertible portion of revolving note payable, accounted for as a derivative financial instrument liability, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $1.13 per share. Proceeds from the convertible debenture were allocated first to the embedded conversion feature and the residual to the debenture. The resulting discount is being amortized through period charges to interest expense using the effective interest method. (a)      (2,000,000 )     (2,000,000 )

NOTE 14—LONG-TERM OBLIGATIONS

On September 30, 2004, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., whereby the Company completed the sale to Laurus of a secured convertible note in the principal amount of $6,000,000 and warrants to purchase 1,375,000 shares of Company common stock. Net proceeds from the offering were used to pay the purchase price for the acquisition of Bob O’Leary Health Food Distributor Co., Inc., effective on October 1, 2004.

The convertible note accrues interest at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in The Wall Street Journal plus 2%, subject to a floor of 6%. The interest rate on the convertible note is subject to possible downward adjustment as follows:

 

   

the interest rate will be decreased by 1.0% (or 100 basis points) for every 25% increase of the Company’s common stock price above the fixed conversion price prior to an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes and warrants; and

 

   

the interest rate will be decreased by 2.0% (or 200 basis points) for every 25% increase of the Company’s common stock price above the fixed conversion price after an effective registration statement covering the shares of common stock underlying the convertible notes and warrants, however, the interest rate cannot drop below 0%.

The convertible note has a term of three years. The fixed conversion rate is equal to $.90 (103% of the average closing price for the ten days prior to the execution of the securities purchase agreement). Upon an issuance of shares of common stock below the fixed conversion price, the fixed conversion price of the note will be reduced accordingly. In connection with the September 12, 2005 stock issuance, the lender waived this provision. The conversion price of the note may be adjusted in certain circumstances such as if the Company pays a stock dividend, subdivides or combines outstanding shares of common stock into a greater or lesser number of shares, or takes such other actions as would otherwise result in dilution.

Beginning on December 1, 2004, and each month thereafter, the Company shall pay $187,500 of the outstanding principal, together with accrued interest on the convertible note, in cash or registered stock. The monthly payments shall be payable in registered stock if: (i) the Company has an effective registration statement

 

F-47

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

under which the stock can be sold; (ii) the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Company’s principal trading market for the five trading days immediately preceding such repayment date shall be greater than or equal to 110% of the fixed conversion rate; and (iii) the amount of such conversion does not exceed 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock for the twenty 22 day trading period immediately preceding the applicable repayment date. If the conversion criteria are not met, the investor shall convert only such part of the monthly payment that meets the conversion criteria. Any part of the monthly payment due on a repayment date that the investor has not been able to convert into shares of common stock due to failure to meet the conversion criteria, shall be paid by the Company in cash at the rate of 102% of the principal portion of the monthly payment otherwise due on such repayment date.

We incurred loan costs in the amount of $305,818 associated with the convertible note. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, the outstanding principal balance on the convertible note was $3,687,500 and $4,500,000, respectively. As of March 31, 2007 and 2006, 989,758 shares of Company common stock have been issued to Laurus in payment of $750,000 of principal and $140,782 of interest on the note.

Laurus will not be entitled to be issued shares of common stock in repayment of any portion of the convertible note or upon exercise of the warrants if and to the extent such issuance would result in Laurus and its affiliates beneficially owning more than 4.99% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock upon such issuance, unless Laurus shall have provided at least 75 days prior written notice to the Company of its revocation of such restriction. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, this provision was modified from 4.99% to 9.99%. In addition, this restriction would not apply in the event there was a default or if we sought to redeem the outstanding balance of the convertible debentures.

The convertible note may be prepaid by the Company in cash by paying to the holder 115% of the principal and related accrued and unpaid interest thereon being prepaid. 115% of the full principal amount of the convertible note is due upon default under the terms of the convertible note. In addition, the Company has granted the investor a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets and intellectual property, as well as registration rights.

The warrants were exercisable until five years from the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement at a purchase price equal to $1.04 per share (115% of the average closing price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days immediately prior to the execution date). The warrants were exercisable on a cashless basis. In the event that the warrants were exercised on a cashless basis, then the Company would not receive any proceeds. In addition, the exercise price of the warrants was to be adjusted in the event the Company issues common stock at a price below market, with the exception of any securities issued as of the date of this warrant or issued in connection with the convertible notes issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. In connection therewith, Laurus waived their anti-dilution provisions related to all convertible notes and warrants issued to Laurus. In September 2005, we sold 150,000 restricted shares of our common stock at a price below market. In connection therewith, Laurus waived their anti-dilution provisions related to all convertible notes and warrants issued to Laurus. In connection with the April 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, we issued 97,059 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, in exchange for cancellation of the 1,375,000 warrants.

Because the common stock underlying the conversion feature embedded in the $6,000,000 convertible note and the warrant are subject to our Registration Rights Agreement with Laurus, they have been accounted for as derivative instrument assets or liabilities (see Note 15). The interest rate index derivative asset related to the interest rate index feature was recorded as a derivative instrument asset. The embedded derivative instruments (primarily the conversion feature) related to the $6,000,000 convertible note were bifurcated and recorded as a derivative instrument liability. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model at

 

F-48

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

 

$1,357,125. Because the fair value of the warrants of $1,357,125 and the fair value of the bifurcated derivative instrument of $6,579,999 exceeded the proceeds received, the convertible minimum borrowing note was initially recorded at zero and a charge to income of $1,937,124 was recognized to record the warrants and the bifurcated derivative instrument at their fair values (see Note 15).

The Company’s obligations under the Security Agreement, Securities Purchase Agreement and the Note are secured by a first priority lien on all of the Company’s assets and all future assets acquired, including a pledge by the Company of shares representing 100% of the Company’s share capital of GeoPharma, Inc. and a put option on the pledged shares of GeoPharma, Inc. at $6.00 per share. Additionally, the note guaranteed by the Company’s Chairman of the Board, Jugal K. Taneja.

On October 29, 2004, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-2 for the registration of up to 8,701,585 shares of the our common stock, including up to 7,326,585 shares of common stock underlying the Secured Convertible Note issued to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd., in the principal amount of $6,000,000 and up to 1,375,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants. On November 15, 2004, the Securities and Exchange Commission declared the Registration Statement to be effective. Such registration statement is no longer current.

On July 19, 2005, we entered into a Postponement Agreement with Laurus, whereby Laurus agreed to postpone our obligation to make certain amortization payments on its secured convertible note and, in consideration therefore, we issued to Laurus 275,000 shares of our restricted common stock. Pursuant to the agreement, the principal portion of the monthly amount that is due in connection with the September 30, 2004 note, on the first business day of each of the months from August 2005 through March 2006 in the amount of $187,500 per month, shall not be required to be paid until the first business day of each of the months from February 2007 through September 2007, respectively, in each case, in addition to the regular monthly principal payments due in each of the months. In connection with the agreement, Laurus agreed to amend the Registration Rights Agreement with us, to extend the dates for the filing requirements of our Registration Statement in connection with the March 29, 2005 financing and in connection with the shares issued under the Postponement Agreement.

The fair value of the 275,000 shares issued in connection with the July 19, 2005 Postponement Agreement was $189,750, based upon the closing price of our common stock on that date. This financing cost was recorded as a discount on the September 2004 note and the discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note, in accordance with EITF 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.

On August 19, 2005, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-2 for the registration of up to 3,219,690 shares of the Company’s common stock, including up to 2,194,690 shares of common stock underlying the March 29, 2005 Secured Convertible Notes issued to Laurus, in the principal amount of $4,000,000, up to 750,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of common stock purchase warrants, and up to 275,000 shares issued in connection with the July 19, 2005 Postponement Agreement. Such Registration Statement was subsequently withdrawn by the Company on May 11, 2006.

On April 28, 2006, the Company entered into a Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus, pursuant to which the Company modified the September 30, 2004 and the March 29, 2005 earlier agreements among the parties. The Postponement and Amendment Agreement provides for the following:

 

   

Principal payments under the September 30, 2004 note are reduced by $137,500 per month for the eight months commencing May 2006, all of which shall be paid on the maturity date of the convertible note;

The Company’s obligation to repay overadvances of up to $1,721,000 under the March 29, 2005 notes shall be suspended for a period of eight months;

 

   

All of the common stock purchase warrants issued to Laurus in connection with the September 30, 2004 and March 29, 2005 agreements are cancelled in their entirety;

 

   

In connection with the foregoing, the Company issued 150,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, for cancellation of the warrants issued to Laurus;

 

   

In connection with the foregoing, the Company issued 275,000 restricted shares of our common stock to Laurus, for postponement of the portion of principal payments in connection with the September 30, 2004 note.

The fair value of the 275,000 shares issued in connection with the April 28, 2006 Postponement and Amendment Agreement was $45,000, based upon the closing price of our common stock on that date. This financing cost was recorded as a discount on the September 2004 note and the discount is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the note, in accordance with EITF 96-19 “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”.

In connection with the Postponement and Amendment Agreement, the Company also executed restated promissory notes in favor of Laurus and an amended and restated registration rights agreement (the “Restated Registration Rights Agreement”). Pursuant to the Restated Registration Rights Agreement, we agreed to file a registration statement by June 30, 2006, covering the resale of the securities issued or issuable to Laurus. The Company was obligated to have such registration statement declared effective by September 30, 2006, but there were no stated penalties for failure to meet such deadline.

On May 24, 2006, the Company entered into an Amendment Agreement with Laurus, pursuant to which the Company modified earlier agreements among the parties. In connection with the March 29, 2005 financing, the Company received certain overadvances of funds in the aggregate amount of $572,094, as of May 24, 2006. In accordance with the Amendment Agreement, Laurus permitted the Company to sell a sufficient number of shares of GeoPharma, pledged by us to Laurus, in connection with the September 30, 2004 financing, by June 5, 2006 in satisfaction of the overadvances, with the proceeds being paid to Laurus. Any remaining unsold shares of GeoPharma were delivered to Laurus to be held pursuant to the original pledge agreement.

On July 3, 2006, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 for the registration of up to 10,221,275 shares of the Company’s common stock, including up to 2,194,690 shares of common stock underlying the March 2005 secured convertible notes, up to 7,326,585 shares of common stock underlying the September 2004 secured convertible notes, 275,000 shares of common stock underlying the July 2005 postponement agreement, and 425,000 shares of common stock underlying the April 2006 amendment and postponement agreement. Such Registration Statement was subsequently withdrawn by the Company on October 4, 2006.

On October 4, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with Laurus pursuant to which the Company modified the earlier agreements among the parties (the “Amendment Agreement”). The Amendment Agreement (i) eliminated the obligation of the Company to register for resale the shares of common stock underlying the securities sold in September 2004, and (ii) removed Laurus’ right to waive 9.99% ownership limitations contained in their convertible debentures.

In connection with the Amendment Agreement, the Company also executed second amended and restated promissory notes in favor of Laurus. Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the Company agreed to file a

registration statement by October 20, 2006, covering the resale of certain securities issued or issuable to Laurus. The Company was obligated to have such registration statement declared effective by November 30, 2006, but there were no stated penalties for failure to meet such deadline. Laurus could have declared the obligations in default and sought immediate repayment, but it gave no indication of doing so. If immediate repayment had been required, we would not have had sufficient funds and Laurus could have taken legal action to recover amounts due from our assets.

NOTE 15—DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The captions derivative financial instruments consist of (a) the embedded conversion feature bifurcated from the September 2004 and the March 2005 convertible debentures, (b) the Warrants issued in connection with the September 2004 and March 2005 convertible debts and (c) interest rate index. These derivative financial instruments are indexed to an aggregate of 6,160,908 and 9,494,656 shares, respectively, at March 31, 2007 and 2006, and are carried at fair value.

We use the Black-Scholes option price model to value embedded conversion feature components of any bifurcated embedded derivative instruments that are recorded as derivative assets or derivative liabilities. See Note 12 and Note 14 related to embedded derivative instruments that have been bifurcated from our notes payable to Laurus. We use the discounted present value of future cash flows to value derivative financial assets.

In valuing the embedded conversion feature components of the bifurcated embedded derivative instruments and the detachable warrants, at the time they were issued and at March 31, 2007 and 2006, we used the market price of our common stock on the date of valuation, an expected dividend yield of zero and the remaining period or maturity date of the convertible debt instruments. Even though the warrants issued in September 2004 were to expire in five years and the warrants issued March 2005 were to expire in seven years, we assumed they would be exercised in three years, the life of the convertible debt instruments, based on normal practices by the lender. All convertible instruments and warrants can be exercised by the holder at any time.

Because of the limited trading history of our common stock prior to the acquisition of BOSS on October 1, 2004, the expected volatility of our common stock over the remaining life of the warrants has been estimated at 126% based on not only the history of our stock price but also a review of the volatility of entities considered by management as comparable.

The embedded conversion features in the convertible notes issued to Laurus are subject to the requirements of EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133. The Company is required by EITF 00-19 and SFAS 133 to bifurcate the embedded conversion features and warrants, and account for them as derivative instrument liabilities. These derivative instrument liabilities were initially recorded at their fair values and are then adjusted to fair value at the end of each subsequent reporting period, with any changes in the fair value recognized as income or expense in the period of change. The most significant component of this compound derivative instrument is the embedded conversion feature, which is revalued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The interest rate index derivative has been accounted for as a standalone financial derivative asset.

The proceeds received from Laurus were first allocated to the fair value of the freestanding warrants and then to the fair value of the bifurcated embedded derivative instruments included in the convertible notes. The

 

F-53

remaining proceeds were then allocated to the convertible notes, resulting in those notes being recorded at a significant discount from their face amounts. For the $6,000,000 term note, that discount, is being accreted into its face amount using the effective interest method over the term of the note. For the $2,000,000 minimum borrowing note, that discount, is also being accreted to its face amount using the effective interest method over the term of the note.

The effective interest rate used to amortize the debt discount on the September 2004 6.75% convertible debenture and the March 2005 7.75% convertible debenture, amounted to 300% and 300%, respectively. Amortization of the discounts, which are included in derivative interest expense, amounted to $2,454,076 and $857,676, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2007, and $2,454,076 and $857,676, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2006.

The initial fair value for derivative financial instrument liabilities was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Significant assumptions used in the determination of fair value of the September 2004 and March 2005 embedded conversion features and detachable warrants were: volatility of 126%, a dividend rate of zero and a risk free interest rated of 4.20%. At each reporting period, the remaining term and risk free rate used varies depending on the factors existing at those dates.

Interest Rate Index Derivative

The September 2004 and March 2005 convertible debt financings included provisions to potentially lower the stated interest rates on the instruments in the event the price of the Company’s common stock was to increase by over 25% of the stated conversion price relating to the financing. For the September 2004 financing, the stated interest rate of 6.75% could be reduced by 200 basis points for every 25% increase in the Company’s common stock price above the conversion price. This provision could potentially reduce the interest rate, but not below zero, and would not result in an increase in the interest rate. The provision only took effect upon the effectiveness of a registration statement. The registration statement became effective on November 15, 2004 for the September 2004 financing and thus triggered the interest rate index (“IRI”) provision. Since the registration statements filed for the March 2005 financing did not become effective, this provision did not take effect.

Since the IRI is directly affected by the price of the Company’s common stock and has a value dependent on the price of the stock, it was determined to be a derivative asset. The fair value of the asset was determined using the present value of the projected cash flow benefit of the potential reduction in the interest rate over the term of the loan. The initial fair value of the present value of discounted future cash flows from the projected reduction in the interest on the September 2004 convertible debt was $335,126. Since the price of the Company’s stock has decreased, the fair value of the IRI decreased to zero as of March 31, 2007 and 2006. Upon the future filing of a registration statement for both financings and when such registration statement is declared effective, the IRI for each instrument will be calculated based upon the discounted present value of the projected reduction in stated interest on the convertible debts.

The initial fair value for derivative financial assets was determined using a discounted present value of projected future cash flows. The significant assumptions in the determination of fair value of the September 2004 interest rate index (IRI) were: normal borrowing rate of 6.75% and a projected price of the Company’s common stock using a historical weighted average price of the common stock over a period equivalent to the projected life of the instrument. At each reporting period, the remaining term and a newly computed weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is determined based upon updated historical activity.

employees. Stock options are granted for the purchase of common stock at a price not less than the 100% of fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant (110% for holders of more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of capital stock then outstanding).

On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (FAS 123(R)), that addresses the accounting for share-based payment transactions in which an enterprise receives employee services in exchange for either equity instruments of the enterprise or liabilities that are based on the fair value of the enterprise’s equity instruments or that may be settled by the issuance of such equity instruments. The statement eliminated the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions, as the Company formerly did, using the intrinsic value method as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, and generally requires that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method and recognized as expenses in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations.

The Company adopted FAS 123(R) using the modified prospective method which requires the application of the accounting standard as of April 1, 2006. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007 reflects the impact of adopting FAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective method, the consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of FAS 123(R).

Share-based compensation expense recognized during the year is based on the value of the portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest. Share-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations during the year ended March 31, 2007 included compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted prior to March 31, 2006 and thereafter, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with FAS 123(R). As share-based compensation expense recognized in the statement of operations is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it will be reduced for estimated forfeitures. FAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

As a result of adopting FAS 123(R), $910,258 of share-based compensation was charged against income for the year ended March 31, 2007. For the year ended March 31, 2006, the following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share had we applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Share-Based Compensation,” to share-based employee compensation.

On October 17, 2004, a meeting of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company was held. At the meeting, the Compensation Committee granted options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, effective October 1, 2004, to Jugal Taneja, the Company’s Chairman and a principal shareholder of the Company, as compensation for Mr. Taneja’s personal guarantee to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. of financing in the amount of $6 million, to fund the BOSS acquisition. The exercise price of the options is $1.14 (110% of the fair value of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2004). The options vest approximately equally over a three year period, commencing October 1, 2005.

NOTE 21—CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK

Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the distribution of sales over a large customer base. For the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, DPS Nutrition Inc. accounted 11%, in relation to total consolidated revenues. The Company has no concentration of customers within specific geographic areas outside of the United States that would give rise to significant geographic credit risk.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk include cash deposits with commercial banks and brokerage firms. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company maintained cash balances in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Company’s $100,000 insurance limit.

NOTE 22—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 11, 2007, the Company entered into a Postponement and Amendment Agreement with Laurus pursuant to which the Company modified the earlier agreements among the parties. The agreement provides for the following:

 

   

Principal payments under the September 2004 note are reduced to $75,000 per month for each of the months commencing January 2007 through the maturity date of the note, at which time all deferred payments become due and owing;

 

   

The Company’s obligation to repay overadvances of up to $1,721,000 under the March 2005 revolving note shall be due and payable on December 31, 2007;

 

   

In consideration for the foregoing, the Company issued an aggregate of 350,000 restricted shares of its common stock to Laurus.

On April 26, 2007, the Company entered into a Business Loan Agreement with First Community Bank of America (“FCB”), whereby the Company issued a secured Promissory Note to FCB in the maximum principal amount of $1,000,000, or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest on the unpaid outstanding principal balance from time to time. Loan advances will be made from time to time upon the request of the Company. The note matures on October 15, 2007. Annual interest on the note is equal to the U.S. Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal, plus 1%. Interest shall be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance. Interest on the note is payable monthly on the 26th day of each month, commencing May 26, 2007. There is no prepayment penalty on the note. The note is guaranteed by Jugal K. Taneja, the Company’s Chairman and Mandeep K. Taneja, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President. In addition, Jugal Taneja and his spouse, and Mandeep Taneja have pledged certain shares of the Company’s common stock as collateral for the note. Proceeds of the note will be used for short-term working capital needs.

On May 14, 2007, the Company and GeoPharma, Inc. entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) under which the Company will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoPharma in a stock transaction (the “Merger”). The Board of Directors of the Company determined that the Merger would further the Company’s long-term business objectives, including without limitation, providing additional capital to support continued growth.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, GeoPharma will exchange approximately 0.1429 shares of its common stock for each share of Company common stock and fractional shares will be rounded up to the nearest whole share. Based on an average 10-day market closing price of GeoPharma’s common stock from May 1-14, 2007 of $4.24 per share, the transaction would be valued at $14 million, based on an estimated 3.3 million shares of GeoPharma common stock to be issued to the shareholders of the Company in the Merger. The actual value at consummation of the Merger will be based on GeoPharma’s share price at that time.

Completion of the Merger of the Company into a wholly-owned subsidiary of GeoPharma and the issuance of the GeoPharma common shares to the shareholders of the Company is subject to the approval of the transaction by the shareholders of both companies, the conversion of the Company’s convertible notes prior to the closing of the Merger, the receipt of required regulatory approvals, and the satisfaction of usual and customary closing conditions. The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for both the Company and GeoPharma.

Directors and executive officers of GeoPharma beneficially own and are entitled to vote approximately 43% of the shares of GeoPharma common stock outstanding. Directors and executive officers of the Company

LaGamba, a principal shareholder of the Company is also a director of GeoPharma. Currently, the Company holds 204,914 shares of common stock of GeoPharma.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.

NATURE OF BUSINESS

Dynamic Marketing, Inc. a Rhode Island Corporation, is primarily engaged in the marketing and distribution of food supplements, drinks, clothing and accessories to fitness and health centers, and retail outlets throughout the United States. The Company has a distribution center in Rhode Island and one in Nevada.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

The Company carries its accounts receivable at cost less an allowance for doubtful accounts of $128,113 and $100,000 in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. On a periodic basis, the Company evaluates its accounts receivable and adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts based on current credit conditions. Accounts are written off based on management’s evaluation of the collectibility of each account resulting from collection efforts.

INVENTORIES

Inventories consist of food and drink supplements and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out method.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT AND DEPRECIATION

Property and equipment are stated at cost, except that property held under capital leases is recorded at the lower of the present value of future minimum lease payments or the fair value of the property at the beginning of the lease term. Depreciation is calculated on straight-line and accelerated methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from five to forty years.

GOODWILL

Purchased goodwill in the amount of $170,500 was being amortized over 15 years until December 31, 2001. Accumulated amortization at December 31, 2001 was $26,708.

NOTE 3—LINE OF CREDIT

During 2003, the Company secured a revolving $3,000,000 line of credit bearing interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 1%. Interest is payable monthly. In addition to monthly interest payments, the Company is also subject to other fees which include an unused line fee equal to .5% of the average unused balance of the prior month paid monthly, monthly collateral fees of $1,000, monthly cash management fees and an annual facility fee which effectively assures that minimum yearly interest and fees paid on the line of credit will equal $130,000. The outstanding balance on the line cannot exceed 80% of eligible receivables plus the lesser of 85% of net orderly liquidating value of inventory or $1,400,000, minus $50,000. The remaining amount available to be drawn under this limitation was $116,810 at December 31, 2004. The note is secured by a first security interest in all assets except machinery, equipment and real estate, a second security interest in machinery and equipment, and is guaranteed by the stockholder and a related party. The note also contains various covenants and ratio requirements including a minimum net worth ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. The line of credit expires in September, 2006.

During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company was in default of two of the covenants. The bank issued the Company a reservations of rights letter, forbearing their right to remedy as of December 31, 2004. As a result, the bank did not execute on their rights under the terms of the default, but reserved the option to so at their discretion.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, the Company had a $1,500,000 line of credit, due on demand, which bore interest at the bank’s prime rate plus 1.25%. Interest was payable monthly. Additional interest at .5% of the average unused credit line during the prior month was also payable monthly. The outstanding balance of the line cannot exceed 80% of eligible accounts receivable plus the lessor of (1) 50% of eligible inventory or (2) $900,000 minus $100,000. The remaining amount available to be drawn under this limitation was approximately $140,000 at December 31, 2002. The note was secured by a first security interest in substantially all corporate assets and guaranteed by the shareholder and a related party. The note also contains various covenants and ratio requirements including a minimum liquidity ratio, a minimum tangible net worth ratio, a minimum debt service ratio and a minimum earnings before interest and taxes, plus depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) ratio. Final payment of principle and interest was due on June 30, 2003.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

1. Business and summary of significant accounting policies:

Description of business:

The Company is engaged in the sales of vitamins and sports nutrition products. The Company’s customer base is principally concentrated in the Eastern United States.

Use of estimates:

Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing financial statements. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates.

Revenue recognition:

Revenue is recognized at the time of shipment of merchandise. When returned goods are received, sales are reduced and the related merchandise is restocked to inventory.

Receivables:

Receivables are stated at the amount management expects to collect from outstanding balances. Management provides for probable uncollectible amounts through a charge to earnings and a credit to a valuation allowance based on its assessment of the current status of individual accounts. Balances that are still outstanding after management has used reasonable collection efforts are written off through a charge to the valuation allowance and a credit to receivables. The Company perform ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition. It generally requires no collateral for its domestic credit sales. For its foreign sales, the Company when deemed necessary and when possible, requires deposits and a letter of credit or sight drafts.

Inventory:

Inventory consists of purchased finished products held for resale which are stated at the lower of cost (on an average cost basis) or market.

Property and equipment and depreciation:

These assets are stated at cost. Depreciation is being provided by accelerated and straight line methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Income taxes:

The Company has elected to be treated as an S Corporation for federal and state income tax reporting. Any tax reporting income or loss will be included in the individual shareholder’s income tax returns. Distributions from the Company are used primarily to fund federal and state income tax payments of the shareholders.

Shipping and handling costs and revenues:

Shipping and handling costs of $820,000 and $715,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively, are included in operating expenses in the income statement. Related revenues are included in sales.

YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2003 AND 2002

 

Advertising:

The Company follows the policy of charging advertising production and communication costs to expense when the advertising first occurs. Advertising expense was $295,000 and $232,000 for the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

 

2. Concentration of credit risk and sales:

The Company maintains its cash accounts in a commercial bank located in Pennsylvania. Accounts at this bank are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) up to $100,000. At December 31, 2003, the Company’s cash balance in a commercial bank exceeded the FDIC insurance coverage by $423,000.

Major customers are those that individually account for more than 10% of the Company’s sales. For the years ended December 31, 2003 and 2002, one customer with sales of $4,423,000 and $3,771,000, respectively, qualified as a major customer. At December 31, 2003 and 2002, the major customer accounted for less than 1% of the Company’s accounts receivable.

The Company purchases one of its sports nutrition products from one vendor. Management believes that other suppliers could provide similar products on comparable terms. A change in suppliers, however, could cause a possible temporary disruption of sales.

Foreign sales amounted to the following:

 

     2003    2002

Europe

   $ 386,000    $ 264,000

North America

     288,000      442,000

Eurasia

     262,000   

Middle East

     129,000   

Asia

     52,000      29,000
             
   $ 1,117,000    $ 735,000
             

 

3. Property and equipment, net:

Property and equipment at December 31 is comprised of the following:

 

     2003     2002     Depreciable Lives

Furniture and equipment

   $ 578,000     $ 523,000     5-10 Years

Vehicles

     137,000       137,000     5 Years

Leasehold improvements

     28,000       28,000     31 Years
                  
     743,000       688,000    

Accumulated depreciation

     (582,000 )     (610,000 )  
                  
   $ 161,000     $ 78,000    
                  

Depreciation amounted to $53,000 and $33,000 in 2003 and 2002, respectively.

4. Line of Credit:

An unused line of credit agreement allowed borrowings not to exceed $1,250,000. This line was unsecured and, when utilized, required monthly interest payments calculated at .5% below the national prime rate (4.0% at December 31, 2003). This line matured on August 31, 2004.

 

5. Notes payable, shareholders:

These notes are due to the shareholders of the Company. The notes are non-interest bearing, unsecured and due on demand.

 

6. Related party lease:

The Company leases its facility from its individual shareholders under a month to month lease. Total rent expense under this lease was $90,000 in 2003 and 2002.

 

7. Defined contribution plan:

The expense for this plan was $141,000 in 2003 and $127,000 in 2002.

 

8. Litigation:

The Company is a defendant in several lawsuits filed by users of certain sports nutrition products. The suits also name other distributors and the manufacturers of these products. The ultimate outcome of this litigation cannot be determined, but management, after consultation with legal counsel, does not expect these matters will have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the Company. The Company believes the lawsuits are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its position. In the normal course of business, there are various other outstanding legal proceedings. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel, the financial statements of the Company will not be materially affected by the outcome of such legal proceedings.

 

9. Subsequent event:

On September 10, 2004, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Dynamic Health Products, Inc. (“Dynamic”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Dynamic will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company. The consideration to be paid by Dynamic to shareholders of the Company for the shares and the shareholders’ execution of Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation and Confidentiality Agreements is $5,500,000, subject to adjustments defined in the Agreement, plus the Shareholders Note Payable, subject to limitations defined in the Agreement.

 

10. Prior period adjustments:

Retained earnings at the beginning of 2002 and 2003 have been reduced by approximately $72,000 and $48,000, respectively, from previously issued reviewed financial statements. These adjustments principally resulted from additional depreciation, an increase in the allowance for doubtful accounts and a decrease in prepaid expenses. These adjustments resulted in a (decrease) increase of net income of approximately ($1,000) and $24,000 for the years ended 2002 and 2003, respectively.

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1. The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Florida Law, DYHP Acquisition shall be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), the separate corporate existence of DYHP Acquisition shall cease and the Company shall continue as the surviving corporation. The Company as the surviving corporation after the Merger is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation.”

1.2. Effective Time; Closing. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida in accordance with the relevant provisions of Florida Law (the “Articles of Merger”) (the time of such filing (or

Table of Contents

such later time as may be agreed in writing by the Company and Parent and specified in the Articles of Merger) being the “Effective Time”) as soon as practicable on or after the Closing Date (as herein defined). The closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of GeoPharma, Inc., 6950 Bryan Dairy Road, Largo, Florida 33777, at a time and date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the second business day after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, or at such other time, date and location as the parties hereto agree in writing (the “Closing Date”).

1.3. Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of Florida Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and DYHP Acquisition shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Company and DYHP Acquisition shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4. Articles of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a) At the Effective Time, subject to the provisions of Section 5.10, the Articles of Incorporation of DYHP Acquisition shall be the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation; provided, however, that the Articles of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation shall be amended so that the name of the Surviving Corporation shall be “Dynamic Health Products, Inc.”

(b) Subject to the provisions of Section 5.10, the Bylaws of DYHP Acquisition, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be, at the Effective Time, the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.

1.5. Directors and Officers. The initial directors of the Surviving Corporation shall be the directors of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time, until their successors shall have been duly elected and qualified. The initial officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be the officers of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time.

1.6. Effect on Capital Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, DYHP Acquisition, the Company or the holders of any of the following securities, the following shall occur:

(a) Conversion of Company Common Stock. Each share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (excluding any share of Company Common Stock to be canceled and extinguished pursuant to Section 1.6(b)) will be automatically converted (subject to Sections 1.6(e) and (f)) into one-seventh (1/7) (the “Exchange Ratio”) of a share of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), which shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Merger Consideration.” If any shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time are unvested or are subject to a repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition under any applicable restricted stock purchase agreement or other agreement with the Company, then the shares of Parent Common Stock issued in exchange for such shares of Company Common Stock will also be unvested and subject to the same repurchase option, risk of forfeiture or other condition, and the certificates representing such shares of Parent Common Stock may accordingly be marked with appropriate legends.

(b) Cancellation of Stock. Each share of Company Common Stock held by the Company or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof. Each share of Company Common Stock held by Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be canceled and extinguished without any conversion thereof.

(c) Stock Option Plan and Warrants. At the Effective Time, the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended as of the date hereof (the “Company Option Plan”), and all warrants to purchase Company Common Stock shall be assumed by Parent in accordance with Section 5.8.

(d) Capital Stock of DYHP Acquisition. Each share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of DYHP Acquisition (the “DYHP Acquisition Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into one validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable share of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Surviving Corporation. Each certificate evidencing ownership of shares of DYHP Acquisition Common Stock shall evidence ownership of such shares of capital stock of the Surviving Corporation.

(e) Adjustments to Exchange Ratio. The Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect appropriately the effect of any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend (including any dividend or distribution of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, exchange of shares or other like change with respect to Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock occurring or having a record date on or after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.

(f) Fractional Shares. No fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock will be issued by virtue of the Merger, but in lieu thereof each holder of shares of Company Common Stock who would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of Parent Common Stock (after aggregating all fractional shares of Parent Common Stock that otherwise would be received by such holder) shall, upon surrender of such holder’s Certificates(s) (as defined in Section 1.7(c)) receive from Parent one share of the Parent’s Common Stock.

1.7. Surrender of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall select a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to Company to act as the exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) in the Merger.

(b) Parent to Provide Common Stock. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall make available to the Exchange Agent for exchange in accordance with this Article I, the shares of Parent Common Stock issuable pursuant to Section 1.6(a) in exchange for outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, and cash in an amount sufficient for payment in lieu of fractional shares pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or distributions to which holders of shares of Company Common Stock may be entitled pursuant to Section 1.7(d).

(c) Exchange Procedures. Promptly after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail to each holder of record (as of the Effective Time) of a certificate or certificates, which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Company Common Stock (the “Certificates”) (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Exchange Agent and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Certificates in exchange for certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.6(a) and Section 1.6(f), and any dividends or other distributions pursuant to Section 1.7(d). Upon surrender of Certificates for cancellation to the Exchange Agent or to such other agent or agents as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly completed and validly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, the holders of such Certificates shall be entitled to receive, in exchange therefor, certificates representing the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which their shares of Company Common Stock were converted pursuant to Section 1.6(a), a share of Parent Common Stock in lieu of fractional shares which such holders have the right to receive pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d), and the Certificates so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. Until so surrendered, outstanding Certificates will be deemed, from and after the Effective Time, to evidence only the ownership of the number of whole shares of Parent Common Stock into which such shares of Company Common Stock shall have been so converted (including any voting, notice or other rights associated with the ownership of such shares of Parent Common Stock under the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of Parent or under Florida Law) and the right to receive one share of Parent Common Stock in lieu of the issuance of any fractional shares in accordance with Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or other distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d).

(d) Distributions With Respect to Unexchanged Shares. Dividends or other distributions declared or made after the date of this Agreement with respect to Parent Common Stock with a record date after the Effective Time will be paid to the holders of any unsurrendered Certificates with respect to the shares of Parent Common Stock represented thereby when the holders of record of such Certificates surrender such Certificates.

(e) Transfers of Ownership. If certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock are to be issued in a name other than that in which the Certificates surrendered in exchange therefor are registered, it will be a condition of the issuance thereof that the Certificates so surrendered will be properly endorsed and otherwise in proper form for transfer and that the persons requesting such exchange will have (i) paid to Parent or any agent designated by it any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the issuance of certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock in any name other than that of the registered holder of the Certificates surrendered, or (ii) established to the satisfaction of Parent or any agent designated by it that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

(f) Required Withholding. Each of the Exchange Agent, Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration payable or otherwise deliverable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder or former holder of Company Common Stock such amounts as may be required to be deducted or withheld therefrom under the Code or state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent such amounts are so deducted or withheld, such amounts shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as having been paid to the person to whom such amounts would otherwise have been paid.

(g) No Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 1.7, neither the Exchange Agent, Parent, the Surviving Corporation nor any party hereto shall be liable to a holder of shares of Parent Common Stock or Company Common Stock for any amount properly paid to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar law.

1.8. No Further Ownership Rights in Company Common Stock. All shares of Parent Common Stock issued in accordance with the terms hereof (including any cash paid in respect thereof pursuant to Sections 1.6(f) and 1.7(d)) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Company Common Stock. After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the records of the Surviving Corporation of shares of Company Common Stock which were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, Certificates are presented to the Surviving Corporation for any reason, they shall be canceled and exchanged as provided in this Article I.

1.9. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event that any Certificates shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, the Exchange Agent shall issue and pay in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the holder thereof, certificates representing the shares of Parent Common Stock into which the shares of Company Common Stock represented by such Certificates were converted pursuant to Section 1.6(a), cash for fractional shares, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 1.6(f) and any dividends or distributions payable pursuant to Section 1.7(d); provided, however, that the Exchange Agent, may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance of such certificates representing shares of Parent Common Stock and the payment of cash and other distributions, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificates to deliver a bond in such sum as it may reasonably direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against Parent, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent with respect to the Certificates alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

1.10. Tax and Accounting Consequences. It is intended by the parties hereto that the Merger shall constitute a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties hereto adopt this Agreement as a “plan of reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 1.368-2(g) and 1.368-3(a) of the United States Treasury Regulations. Accordingly, both prior to and after the Closing, each party’s books and records shall be maintained and all federal, state and local income tax returns and schedules thereto shall be filed in a manner consistent with the Merger being qualified as a reverse triangular merger under Section 368(a)(2)(E) of the Code. Each party

shall provide to each other party such information, reports, returns or schedules as may be reasonably required to assist such party in accounting for and reporting the Merger being so qualified.

1.11. Taking of Necessary Action; Further Action. If, at any time after the Effective Time, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and to vest the Surviving Corporation with full right, title and possession to all assets, property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of the Company and DYHP Acquisition, the officers and directors of Parent and the Surviving Corporation shall be fully authorized (in the name of DYHP Acquisition, Company, the Surviving Corporation and otherwise) to take all such necessary action.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF COMPANY

Except as set forth in the corresponding sections or subsections of the disclosure letter delivered to Parent by the Company on or prior to entering into this Agreement (the “Company Schedule”), the Company hereby represents and warrants to Parent and DYHP Acquisition that:

2.1. Organization of the Company.

(a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation; has the corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its assets and property and to carry on its business as now being conducted; and is duly qualified to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified would have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, the term (i) “Subsidiary” means, with respect to the Company or Parent as the case may be the subsidiaries set forth in Section 2.1 of the Company Schedule and Section 3.1 of the Parent Schedule, respectively and (ii) “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or otherwise), business, assets or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole or on the ability of the Company to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; it being understood, however, that the Company’s continuing to incur losses, as long as such losses are in the ordinary course of business and are comparable to those incurred by the Company prior to the date hereof, shall not, alone, be deemed to be a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Company has delivered to Parent a true and complete list of all of the Company’s Subsidiaries, indicating the jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and Company’s equity interest therein.

(c) The Company has delivered or made available to Parent a true and correct copy of the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company and similar governing instruments of each of its Subsidiaries, each as amended to date, and each such instrument is in full force and effect.

(b) Except for securities the Company owns, directly or indirectly through one or more Subsidiaries, there are no equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests of any class of any Subsidiary of the Company, or any security exchangeable or convertible into or exercisable for such equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests issued, reserved for issuance or outstanding.

(c) There are no options, warrants, equity securities, partnership interests or similar ownership interests, calls, rights (including preemptive rights), commitments or agreements of any character to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it is bound obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, or repurchase, redeem or otherwise acquire, or cause the repurchase, redemption or acquisition, of any shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or obligating the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to grant, extend, accelerate the vesting of or enter into any such option, warrant, equity security, partnership interest or similar ownership interest, call, right, commitment or agreement.

A vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company Common Stock is required for the Company’s shareholders to approve and adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent and, if applicable, DYHP Acquisition, constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforceability

may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws and general principles of equity.

(b) No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or registration, declaration or filing with any court, administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality (“Governmental Entity”) is required by or with respect to the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except for (i) the filing of a Form S-4 Registration Statement (the “S-4”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), (ii) the filing of the Articles of Merger with the Secretary of State of Florida, (iii) the filing of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Section 2.18) with the SEC in accordance with the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), (iv) such consents, approvals, orders, authorizations, registrations, declarations and filings as may be required under applicable federal and state securities laws, and (v) such other consents, authorizations, filings, approvals and registrations which, if not obtained or made, individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

The balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2006 is hereinafter referred to as the “Company Balance Sheet.” Except as disclosed in the Company Financials, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any liabilities (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of a nature required to be disclosed on a balance sheet or in the related notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP which are, individually or in the aggregate, material to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, except liabilities (i) provided for in the Company Balance Sheet, or (ii) incurred since the date of the Company Balance Sheet in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices and which would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(c) The Company has heretofore furnished to Parent a complete and correct copy of any amendments or modifications to the Company SEC Reports, if any, which have not yet been filed with the SEC but which will be required to be filed, to agreements, documents or other instruments which previously had been filed by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

(d) The Company has on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 which became effective on April 9, 2007.

Since the date of the Company Balance Sheet, except as set forth in Schedule 2.6 or as disclosed in the Company SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof, there has not been any increase in the compensation payable or that could become payable by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to officers or key employees or any amendment of the Company Option Plan other than increases or amendments in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (x) as required by any relevant employment agreement or option agreement, or (y) which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Board of Directors of the Company from withholding, withdrawing, amending or modifying its recommendation in favor of adopting and approving this Agreement and the Merger or from not including its recommendation in favor of adopting and approving this Agreement and the Merger in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus if (i) a Superior Offer (as defined below) is made to the Company and not withdrawn, (ii) neither the Company nor any of its representatives shall have violated any of the restrictions set forth in Section 5.4 and the Company is not then in breach of this Agreement, and (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company concludes in good faith, after consultation with and receiving advice from its outside counsel, that, in light of such Superior Offer, the withholding, withdrawal, amendment or modification of such recommendation is necessary in order for the Board of Directors of the Company to comply with its fiduciary obligations to the Company’s shareholders under applicable law.

The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation will contain provisions with respect to exculpation and indemnification that are at least as favorable to the Indemnified Parties as those contained in the Company Charter Documents as in effect on the date hereof, which provisions will not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years from the Effective Time in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of any Indemnified Party or of individuals who, immediately prior to the Effective Time, were employees or agents of the Company, unless such modification is required by law.

5.11. Action by Board of Directors. Prior to the Effective Time, the respective Boards of Directors of Parent and the Company, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretative guidance of the SEC so that the receipt by Company Insiders (as defined below) of Parent Common Stock in exchange for Company Common Stock pursuant to the Merger shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act by any officer or director of the Company who may become a covered person of Parent for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act (a “Company Insider”).

Parent and DYHP Acquisition covenant and agree not (i) to take any action (or to cause the Surviving Corporation or any Affiliate of Parent or DYHP Acquisition to take any action), and (ii) to fail to take any action (or to cause the Surviving Company or any Affiliates of Parent or DYHP Acquisition to fail to take any action), which if taken or not taken, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to prevent, the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code.

5.14. Conveyance Taxes. The Company, its Subsidiaries and Parent and DYHP Acquisition shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications, or other documents regarding (i) any real property transfer gains, sales, use, transfer, value-added, stock transfer and stamp Taxes, (ii) any recording, registration and other fees, and (iii) any similar Taxes or fees that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

To The Board of Directors of

Dynamic Health Products, Inc.

12399 Belcher Road South

Suite 140

Largo, Florida 33773

Re: A fairness opinion, from a financial point of view, of the consideration to be paid to the shareholders of Dynamic Health Products, Inc. in its merger with Geopharma, Inc., as described herein.

Gentlemen:

We understand that Dynamic Health Products, Inc. (“Dynamic”) and Geopharma, Inc. (“Geopharma”) propose to enter into an agreed transaction whereby Dynamic will merge with Geopharma (the “Transaction”). We understand that pursuant to the Transaction, Geopharma will make an exchange offer (the “Offer”) for all outstanding shares of Dynamic pursuant to which tendering Dynamic shareholders will receive in exchange for each outstanding Dynamic common share, 0.1428 shares of common stock of Geopharma.

You have asked us for our opinion as to whether the consideration to be received by the holders of common stock of Dynamic in the Offer is fair from a financial point of view to such holders.

For purposes of the opinion set forth herein, we have:

i) reviewed certain publicly available financial statements and other information of Dynamic and Geopharma;

ii) reviewed certain internal financial statements and other financial and operating data concerning Dynamic prepared by the management of Dynamic;

iii) reviewed certain financial projections prepared by the managements of Dynamic and Geopharma and discussed the past and current operations and financial condition and the prospects of Dynamic and Geopharma with senior executives of each company;

iv) reviewed the reported prices and trading activity for the common stock of Dynamic and of Geopharma;

v) compared the financial performance of each of Dynamic and Geopharma and the prices and trading activity of Dynamic and Geopharma common stock to that of certain other peer-group publicly-traded companies and their securities;

vi) reviewed the financial terms, to the extent publicly available, of certain comparable or similar transactions;

vii) discussed with Dynamic and Geopharma management their assessment of the benefits which they believe can be realized from this transaction;


Table of Contents

viii) participated in discussions and negotiations among representatives of Dynamic and Geopharma and their legal advisors;

ix) reviewed the proposed Merger Agreement; and

x) reviewed such other information, performed such other analysis, and considered such other factors as we have deemed appropriate.

We have assumed and relied upon without independent verification the accuracy and completeness of the information reviewed by us for the purpose of this opinion. With respect to the financial projections, including in relation to strategic, financial, and operational benefits expected to be realized from the Transaction, we have assumed that they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the future financial performance of each of Dynamic and Geopharma.

We are not legal, tax or regulatory advisors; we are financial advisors only. We have not made any independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of Dynamic or Geopharma, nor have we been furnished with any such appraisals. In addition, we have assumed that the Transaction will be consummated in accordance with the terms set forth in the Agreement, and that in connection with the receipt of all necessary antitrust and regulatory approvals for the Transaction, no restrictions will be imposed that would have a material adverse effect on the contemplated benefits expected to be derived from the Transaction. Our opinion is based on economic, market and other conditions as in effect on, and the information made available to us as of, the date hereof. Events occurring after the date hereof, may affect this opinion and the assumptions used in preparing it, and we do not assume any obligations to update, revise or reaffirm this opinion.

We have acted as advisor to the Board of Directors of Dynamic in connection with this Transaction, and will receive a fee for our services; however, our fee is not conditioned upon consummation of the Transaction. In the past, Spartan Securities Group, Ltd has provided services to Geopharma, and we have received fees for these services. We may also seek to provide services to Dynamic and Geopharma in the future and will receive fees for these services. In the ordinary course of our trading, market-making, and brokerage activities, Spartan Securities Group, Ltd and its affiliates may at any time hold long or short positions, and may trade or otherwise effect transactions, for our own account or the accounts of customers, in the securities of Dynamic or Geopharma.

It is understood that this letter is for the information of the Board of Directors and Management of Dynamic and may not be used for any other purpose without our prior written consent. It is not addressed to and may not be relied upon by any third party other than Dynamic. Except as required by applicable law or as is customarily disclosed in proxy filings with the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission, this opinion may not be referred to, communicated or disclosed without our prior written consent.

This opinion expresses no opinion or recommendation as to how Dynamic shareholders should vote at any shareholders’ meeting to be held in connection with the Transaction nor as to whether they should accept the Offer. In addition, this opinion does not in any manner address the prices at which Geopharma’s shares will trade following the consummation of the Transaction.

Based on and subject to the foregoing, we are of the opinion on the date hereof that the consideration to be received by the holders of the common stock of Dynamic in the Offer is fair from a financial point of view to such holders as a whole.

Very truly yours,

607.1330 Court action.

(1) If a shareholder makes demand for payment under s. 607.1326 which remains unsettled, the corporation shall commence a proceeding within 60 days after receiving the payment demand and petition the court to determine the fair value of the shares and accrued interest. If the corporation does not commence the proceeding within the 60-day period, any shareholder who has made a demand pursuant to s. 607.1326 may commence the proceeding in the name of the corporation.

(2) The proceeding shall be commenced in the appropriate court of the county in which the corporation’s principal office, or, if none, its registered office, in this state is located. If the corporation is a foreign corporation without a registered office in this state, the proceeding shall be commenced in the county in this state in which the principal office or registered office of the domestic corporation merged with the foreign corporation was located at the time of the transaction.

(3) All shareholders, whether or not residents of this state, whose demands remain unsettled shall be made parties to the proceeding as in an action against their shares. The corporation shall serve a copy of the initial pleading in such proceeding upon each shareholder party who is a resident of this state in the manner provided by law for the service of a summons and complaint and upon each nonresident shareholder party by registered or certified mail or by publication as provided by law.

(4) The jurisdiction of the court in which the proceeding is commenced under subsection (2) is plenary and exclusive. If it so elects, the court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers shall have the powers described in the order appointing them or in any amendment to the order. The shareholders demanding appraisal rights are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings. There shall be no right to a jury trial.

(5) Each shareholder made a party to the proceeding is entitled to judgment for the amount of the fair value of such shareholder’s shares, plus interest, as found by the court.

(6) The corporation shall pay each such shareholder the amount found to be due within 10 days after final determination of the proceedings. Upon payment of the judgment, the shareholder shall cease to have any interest in the shares.

607.1331 Court costs and counsel fees.

(1) The court in an appraisal proceeding shall determine all costs of the proceeding, including the reasonable compensation and expenses of appraisers appointed by the court. The court shall assess the costs against the corporation, except that the court may assess costs against all or some of the shareholders demanding appraisal, in amounts the court finds equitable, to the extent the court finds such shareholders acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.

(2) The court in an appraisal proceeding may also assess the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable:

(a) Against the corporation and in favor of any or all shareholders demanding appraisal if the court finds the corporation did not substantially comply with ss. 607.1320 and 607.1322; or

(b) Against either the corporation or a shareholder demanding appraisal, in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously, or not in good faith with respect to the rights provided by this chapter.

(3) If the court in an appraisal proceeding finds that the services of counsel for any shareholder were of substantial benefit to other shareholders similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the corporation, the court may award to such counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded the shareholders who were benefited.

 

C-7


Table of Contents

(4) To the extent the corporation fails to make a required payment pursuant to s. 607.1324, the shareholder may sue directly for the amount owed and, to the extent successful, shall be entitled to recover from the corporation all costs and expenses of the suit, including counsel fees.

607.1332 Disposition of acquired shares.

Shares acquired by a corporation pursuant to payment of the agreed value thereof or pursuant to payment of the judgment entered therefor, as provided in this chapter, may be held and disposed of by such corporation as authorized but unissued shares of the corporation, except that, in the case of a merger or share exchange, they may be held and disposed of as the plan of merger or share exchange otherwise provides. The shares of the surviving corporation into which the shares of such shareholders demanding appraisal rights would have been converted had they assented to the merger shall have the status of authorized but unissued shares of the surviving corporation.

607.1333 Limitation on corporate payment.

(1) No payment shall be made to a shareholder seeking appraisal rights if, at the time of payment, the corporation is unable to meet the distribution standards of s. 607.06401. In such event, the shareholder shall, at the shareholder’s option:

(a) Withdraw his or her notice of intent to assert appraisal rights, which shall in such event be deemed withdrawn with the consent of the corporation; or

(b) Retain his or her status as a claimant against the corporation and, if it is liquidated, be subordinated to the rights of creditors of the corporation, but have rights superior to the shareholders not asserting appraisal rights, and if it is not liquidated, retain his or her right to be paid for the shares, which right the corporation shall be obliged to satisfy when the restrictions of this section do not apply.

(2) The shareholder shall exercise the option under paragraph (1)(a) or paragraph (b) by written notice filed with the corporation within 30 days after the corporation has given written notice that the payment for shares cannot be made because of the restrictions of this section. If the shareholder fails to exercise the option, the shareholder shall be deemed to have withdrawn his or her notice of intent to assert appraisal rights.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS

 

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

The Florida Business Corporation Act (the “Florida Act”) permits a Florida corporation to indemnify a present or former director or officer of the corporation (and certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities) for liabilities, including legal expenses, arising by reason of service in such capacity if such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in any criminal proceeding if such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, in the case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be made with respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been adjudged liable, except in certain limited circumstances. GeoPharma’s articles of incorporation and Bylaws provide that GeoPharma shall indemnify directors and executive officers to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the Florida Act. In addition, GeoPharma may enter into Indemnification Agreements with its directors and executive officers in which GeoPharma agrees to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the Florida Act. The indemnification provided by the Florida Act and GeoPharma’s Bylaws is not exclusive of any other rights to which a director or officer may be entitled. The general effect of the foregoing provisions may be to reduce the circumstances which an officer or director may be required to bear the economic burden of the foregoing liabilities and expense. GeoPharma may obtain a liability insurance policy for its directors and officers as permitted by the Florida Act, which may extend to, among other things, liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provision or otherwise, we have been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in that Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

 

Item 21. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules

(b) None.

 

Item 22. Undertakings

(a)    (1) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(B) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(C) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

(ii) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(iii) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(2) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes as follows: that prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this Registration Statement, by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of Rule 145(c), the issuer undertakes that such reoffering prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items of the applicable form.

(4) The registrant undertakes that every prospectus (i) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (c)(1) immediately preceding, or (ii) that purports to meet the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 and is used in connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be filed as a part of an amendment to the Registration Statement and will not be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(5) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the Registration Statement through the date of responding to the request.

(c) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the Registration Statement when it became effective.
