Item 4.02 Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.

(a) On November 7, 2011, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of K-V Pharmaceutical Company (the “Company”), upon recommendation from the Company’s management, concluded that certain previously issued financial statements did not include the proper treatment and classification for the embedded derivative feature of warrants issued in November 2010 and March 2011. Specifically, the warrants were misclassified as equity instead of as liabilities. Therefore, the Company will restate and amend previous filings as a result of the misapplication of accounting guidance relating to non-standard anti-dilution provisions in the warrants. In the restated financial statements, the warrants will be classified as liabilities beginning with the date they were first issued in November 2010 or March 2011, as applicable, with changes in the fair value being recorded as non-cash income or expense in each reporting period. However, the non-cash adjustments to correct the previous treatment and classification, in all of the affected periods, will not impact the amounts previously reported for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, operating expenses, operating losses or cash flows.

Consequently, the Company will file an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 that will contain restated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and amended Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q/A for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively, that will contain restated financial statements for each affected quarter. The Company expects to file all of these amended public reports within the next 30 days. Until such amended filings are made, the original filings for those periods should not be relied upon.

As a result of the foregoing, the registrant was not able to complete its Form 10-Q for the quarter periods ended September 30, 2011 by its due date of November 9, 2011 without unreasonable effort and expense. The Company expects to file this Form 10-Q with the SEC as soon as practicable after filing the amended filings described above, and, in any case, within five days of such filings.

The Company and its Audit Committee have discussed the matters reported in this report with its independent public accounting firm, BDO USA, LLP.

K-V Pharmaceutical Announces Updated Makena® Performance Metrics

Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Form 10-Q Delayed due to Restatement of Prior Financial Statements; Restatement has No Impact on Cash Position or Loss from Operations

Company to Host Investor Conference Call on November 10th

St. Louis, MO (November 8, 2011) – K-V Pharmaceutical Company (NYSE: KV.A/ KV.B) (the “Company” or “K-V”), today reported updated performance metrics for Makena®, the only U.S. Food & Drug Administration (“FDA”) approved product indicated to reduce the risk of preterm birth in women with singleton pregnancy who have a history of a singleton spontaneous preterm birth.

Makena® was launched during March of 2011. From its launch date through October 31, 2011:

 

   

Approximately 7,100 vials have been shipped to Ther-Rx customers, and more than 4,700 vials have been shipped to doctors and patients;

 

   

The average number of vials shipped per week to Ther-Rx customers increased 35% from the month of July to the month of October while the average number of vials shipped per week to doctors and patients increased nearly 13% during the same period;

 

   

Approximately 4,300 patient referrals from over 2,700 prescribers have been made to the Makena Care Connection™ and the number of enrollments who have initiated treatments increased from the month of July to the month of October by nearly 16%;

 

   

Approximately 2,400 patients have either initiated treatment, are in the enrollment phase or are pending insurance approval and treatment initiation;

 

   

Over 200 payers, both commercial and Medicaid, have reimbursed Makena®;

 

   

Contracts have been reached with four commercial insurers that cover an estimated 50 million persons;

 

   

At least 17 states have reimbursed Makena® and K-V has signed Makena® rebate contracts with three states and two Managed Medicaid plans covering 5 to 6 million persons; and

 

   

Current data indicates patient co-pays are averaging approximately $11 per injection, the same or less cost than those typically associated with compounded 17P formulations.

“Our commercialization efforts remain centered on communicating the important differences between FDA-approved Makena® and compounded 17P formulations,” said Greg Divis, President and CEO of K-V Pharmaceutical and President of Ther-Rx. “We are actively engaging the physician and payer communities and the success of our focused outreach is evidenced by Makena®’s improving performance metrics. We believe our efforts are driving expanded access to Makena® while we are also successfully maintaining low out-of-pocket costs for patients.”


Restatement of Prior Financial Statements and Delay of Fiscal 2012 Second Quarter Form 10-Q

On November 7, 2011, the Company’s Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, upon recommendation from K-V management, concluded that certain previously issued financial statements did not include the proper treatment and classification for the embedded derivative feature of warrants issued in November 2010 and March 2011. Specifically, the warrants were misclassified as equity instead of as liabilities. Therefore, the Company will restate and amend previous filings as a result of the misapplication of accounting guidance relating to non-standard anti-dilution provisions in the warrants. In the restated financial statements, the warrants will be classified as liabilities beginning with the date they were first issued in November 2010 or March 2011, as applicable, with changes in the fair value being recorded as non-cash income or expense in each reporting period. However, the non-cash adjustments to correct the previous treatment and classification, in all of the affected periods, will not impact the amounts previously reported for the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, operating expenses, operating losses or cash flows.

Consequently, the Company will file an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 that will contain restated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and amended Quarterly Reports on Forms 10-Q/A for the quarters ended December 31, 2010 and June 30, 2011, respectively, that will contain restated financial statements for each affected quarter. The Company expects to file all of these amended public reports within the next 30 days. Until such amended filings are made, the original filings for those periods should not be relied upon.

As a result of the need to restate prior financial statements, the Company will be unable to file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by November 9, 2011, the prescribed due date. K-V will file its fiscal 2012 second quarter 10-Q with the SEC as soon as practicable after the completion of the restatement of its prior financial statements.

Independent Laboratory Testing Demonstrates Important Quality Differences Between FDA-Approved Makena® and Compounded 17P Formulations

FDA Issues Statement on Makena® on November 8, 2011

St. Louis, MO – November 8, 2011 – Recent testing conducted by independent laboratories, commissioned by Ther-Rx Corporation, a subsidiary of K-V Pharmaceutical Company (the “Company”) (NYSE: KV.A/KV.B), shows that multiple samples of both compounded 17P drug formulations and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) that may be used in compounded 17P failed to meet certain established standards for potency and purity. These findings, which have been submitted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), demonstrate important quality differences in these compounded 17P formulations when compared to FDA-approved Makena® (hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection).

“We commissioned this research because moms and healthcare providers deserve to know whether medications prescribed during pregnancy meet FDA’s quality standards,” said Greg Divis, President and CEO of K-V Pharmaceutical Company. “This research demonstrates important differences in product quality between FDA-approved Makena® and these compounded 17P formulations. Healthcare providers and patients have no practical way of ensuring that compounded 17P formulations meet FDA’s quality standards. Now that FDA-approved Makena® is available, America’s high-risk moms deserve a product that consistently meets FDA’s standards.”

On Nov. 8, 2011, the FDA issued a statement on Makena® acknowledging it has received information from the Company regarding the potency and purity of samples of bulk hydroxyprogesterone caproate APIs and compounded hydroxyprogesterone caproate products. FDA stated, “According to the analysis of this information provided by K-V, there is variability in the purity and potency of both the bulk APIs and compounded hydroxyprogesterone caproate products that were tested.” The agency has begun its own sampling and analysis of compounded hydroxyprogesterone products and the bulk APIs used to make them. In FDA’s statement, the agency “reminds healthcare providers and patients that before approving the Makena® new drug application, FDA reviewed manufacturing information, such as the source of the API used by the manufacturer, proposed manufacturing processes and


the firm’s adherence to current good manufacturing practice. Therefore, as with other approved drugs, greater assurance of safety and effectiveness is generally provided by the approved product than by a compounded product.”

The full text of the FDA statement is available at

http://www.fda.gov/NewsEvents/Newsroom/PressAnnouncements/ucm279098.htm

Overview of Research

The active pharmaceutical ingredient in FDA-approved Makena®, hydroxyprogesterone caproate, is sourced exclusively from the same FDA-registered and FDA-inspected manufacturer that supplied the API used in the NICHD study that served as part of the basis for FDA approval of Makena®. To the Company’s knowledge, this is the only manufacturer of hydroxyprogesterone caproate known to have an active Drug Master File with the FDA.

Research commissioned by Ther-Rx shows that the API used in compounded 17P formulations originates primarily from facilities in China that are neither registered with nor inspected by the FDA. This research also found that the vast majority of entities claiming to be original manufacturers of hydroxyprogesterone caproate are actually re-packagers, re-sellers, brokers or distributors of hydroxyprogesterone caproate that is actually manufactured in China.

The Company also commissioned independent laboratory testing to assess samples of API and compounded 17P formulations and, as such, does not purport to assess the quality of all of the various compounded 17P formulations and hydroxyprogesterone caproate API available on the market. Specifically, the laboratory testing included:

 

 

10 samples of API used in compounded 17P formulations provided by 10 different suppliers of API. Seven of the suppliers were determined to be original manufacturers of API that are located in China and that, to the Company’s knowledge, do not appear to have been registered with or inspected by the FDA. The other three were identified as U.S.-based resellers of API, whose product is also believed to originate from China.

 

 

30 vials of compounded 17P formulations, prepared by 30 different compounding pharmacies across 15 states.

The independent laboratories measured the quality of each API sample and compounded 17P vial against certain quality standards required by FDA for Makena®. The samples also were evaluated by these labs against certain U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for hydroxyprogesterone caproate and hydroxyprogesterone caproate injection because some compounding pharmacies claim that their compounded formulations meet USP criteria. The laboratories analyzed the API and compounded 17P drug formulations to assess potency, chemical impurities and drug identity.

Key Laboratory Testing Findings

Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API)

 

 

One API sample sent from a Chinese manufacturing facility was not the correct active pharmaceutical ingredient. Although the package was sent to the United States labeled in


 

Chinese as hydroxyprogesterone caproate (HPC), the active ingredient failed the drug identity test for HPC. Further laboratory analysis conclusively proved that the substance was glucose instead of HPC.

 

 

80 percent (8 of 10) of the API samples failed to meet at least one FDA standard for unknown impurities.

 

 

50 percent (5 of 10) of the API samples failed to meet the USP standard for potency.

 

 

The paperwork (certificates of analysis) that arrived with API shipped from China was often missing or incomplete. Such gaps in paperwork can make it difficult to track back specific product to specific manufacturing facilities, which is critically important should a problem with the medication arise.

Compounded 17P Formulations

 

 

27 percent (8 of 30) of the compounded 17P vials tested failed to meet the USP standard for potency. The potency values of the compounded 17P vials ranged from just over half to a level more than 2.5 times the labeled potency. If these vials were administered to patients, some patients would not have received the dose of 17P that was reviewed and subsequently approved by FDA for safety and efficacy in this patient population. This variability in potency was comparable to those found in FDA’s limited survey of compounded drug products conducted in 2006, which is available at:

http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/GuidanceComplianceRegulatoryInformation/PharmacyCompounding/ucm204237.htm

 

 

53 percent (16 of 30) of the vials of compounded 17P had levels of unknown impurities that exceeded at least one standard required by the FDA for Makena®. The potential toxic effects of these unidentified compounds in the intended patient population are unknown.

 

 

Taken together, two-thirds (20 of 30) of the compounded 17P vials failed to meet at least one USP requirement (a standard used by some compounding pharmacies) or at least one FDA quality standard required of Makena® for potency and/or purity levels. Information was not obtained regarding the sterility of, or potential presence of endotoxins in, the compounded 17P vials.

 

 

FDA-approved Makena® must meet FDA’s quality standards before release for patient use.

Because the factors referred to above, as well as the statements included in Part I, Item 1A—“Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and Part II, Item 1A—“Risk Factors,” and Part I, Item 2—“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements in this “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the risk factors that are included under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, and Part II, Item 1A under our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, as supplemented by our subsequent SEC filings. Further, any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and we are under no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this release. New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not


possible for us to predict which factors will arise, when they will arise and/or their effects. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our future business or financial condition or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
