FAMILYMEDS GROUP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(formerly, Drugmax, Inc.) 
Notes to (Unaudited) Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Familymeds Group, Inc., formerly known as DrugMax, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company” or “Familymeds Group”). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
 
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring items) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
The Company’s fiscal year 2006 begins on January 1, 2006 and ends on December 30, 2006 which is the Saturday closest to December 31, 2006. The Company’s quarters end on the Saturday closest to March 31, June 30 and September 30. Each fiscal quarter is 13 weeks in length. The Company’s second quarter for fiscal year 2006 ended on July 1, 2006.
 
NOTE 2 - BUSINESS AND GOING CONCERN
 
On March 19, 2004, Familymeds Group, Inc. (“FMG”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which was amended on July 1, 2004 and on October 11, 2004 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”), with DrugMax, Inc. (“DrugMax”). Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, on November 12, 2004, FMG merged into DrugMax, and DrugMax became the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Merger”). The Merger was treated as a purchase of DrugMax by FMG for accounting purposes.  On July 10, 2006, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from DrugMax, Inc. to Familymeds Group, Inc. and changed its trading symbol from DMAX to FMRX.

Business— As of July 1, 2006, the Company operated 79 Company owned locations including 76 pharmacies, one home health center, one health and beauty location and one non-pharmacy mail order center, and franchised 7 pharmacies in 14 states under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names.

The Company also operates a wholesale drug distribution business primarily focused on the direct distribution of specialty pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers from its warehouse located in St. Rose, Louisiana known as Valley Medical Supply.

Going Concern— The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The report of independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s December 31, 2005 consolidated financial statements was modified with respect to uncertainties regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had a net stockholders' deficit of $11.3 million and has incurred net losses of $54.9 million, $39.8 million and $12.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, January 1, 2005 and December 27, 2003. As of July 1, 2006, the Company had a net stockholders deficit of $4.0 million. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. During the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company completed certain transactions considered to be critical to achieving future growth and profitability. These include the sale of common stock for net proceeds of $47.4 million, the refinancing of the senior credit facility with a new $65.0 million facility, which allows for additional borrowing availability, and the sale and discontinuation of substantially all of the Company’s full-line wholesale drug distribution operations, which had incurred significant losses. Although no assurances may be made, management believes that these transactions as well as other organizational and operational changes will allow the Company to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 3 - PER SHARE INFORMATION

The computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share are based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potentially dilutive securities. Potentially dilutive securities include all-in-the money stock options and warrants.  Options and warrants to purchase 249,090 and 285,717, respectively, shares of common stock were included in the July 1, 2006 computations of diluted net income per common share.  Options and warrants to purchase 3,253,901 and 5,408,967 shares of common stock were not included in the July 2, 2005 computations of diluted net loss per common share because inclusion of such shares would have been anti-dilutive.
 
NOTE 4 - STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
 
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (as amended).” SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting that was provided in SFAS No. 123, which generally resulted in no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the issuance of equity awards to employees. SFAS No. 123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. SFAS No. 123(R) establishes fair value as the measurement objective in accounting for share-based payment arrangements and requires all companies to apply a fair-value-based measurement method in accounting generally for all share-based payment transactions with employees.
 
On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using a modified prospective method resulting in the recognition of share-based compensation expense of $0.002 million, net of zero related tax expense. Prior period amounts have not been restated. Under this application, we are required to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption.
 
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we applied Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations in accounting for our plans.
 
The following table details the effect on net loss and loss per common share had compensation expense for the employee share-based awards been recorded in the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005 based on the fair value method under SFAS No. 123 (in thousands, except per share data):

Share Based Compensation Plans
 
As of July 1, 2006, we have two share-based compensation plans, which are described below.
 
The DrugMax, Inc. 1999 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan permits the granting of stock options to purchase shares of common stock up to a total of 6.0 million shares. The exercise price per share of common stock covered by an option may not be less than the par value per share on the date of grant, and in the case of an incentive stock option, the exercise price may not be less than the market value per share on the date of grant. The terms of any option grants are established by the Board of Directors and / or compensation committee, subject to the requirements of the plan, but, generally, these options vest over a three year period at a rate of 33% each year. The Plan will expire on August 13, 2009. Options are issued to non-employee directors under this plan.
 
Each outside Director shall be issued an option to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock annually each year following his or her election to the Board of Directors. Each outside Director who serves as a member of a committee shall be issued an option to purchase 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock annually. The chairperson of each committee, other than the Audit Committee, shall be issued an option to purchase an additional 5,000 shares of common stock annually. The chairperson of the Audit Committee and the Chairman of the Board shall receive an option to purchase 10,000 shares of the Company’s common stock annually. The foregoing options are granted under the Company’s 1999 Incentive and Non-Statutory Stock Option Plan. The exercise price for the options shall be determined as of the annual shareholders meeting of each year.
 
The DrugMax, Inc. 2003 Restricted Stock Plan permits the granting of shares of restricted common stock up to a total of 3.5 million shares. The Board of Directors shall determine the price, if any, on the date of grant. The Plan will expire on August 27, 2013. Restricted shares are issued to non-employee directors under this plan.

Upon election to the Board of Directors, each outside Director, receives an award of restricted stock in the amount of $50,000. Such shares vest 1/3 upon the date of grant and 1/3 on the first and second anniversary thereafter. Further, on each year following his or her election to the Board, each outside Director shall receive an award of restricted stock in the amount of $25,000. The foregoing shares are granted under the Company’s 2003 Restricted Stock Plan.
 
We use the Black-Scholes option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of options. The key assumptions for this valuation method include the expected term of the option, stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, dividend yield, exercise price, and forfeiture rate. Many of these assumptions are judgmental and highly sensitive in the determination of compensation expense. Under the assumptions indicated below, the weighted-average fair value of the three month period ended July 1, 2006 stock option grants was $0.44 and the weighted-average fair value of the three month period ended July 2, 2005 stock option grants was $0.58. The table below indicates the key assumptions used in the option valuation calculations for options granted in the three month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005 and a discussion of our methodology for developing each of the assumptions used in the valuation model:

 Term - This is the period of time over which the options granted are expected to remain outstanding. Options granted have a maximum term of ten years. An increase in the expected term will increase compensation expense.
 
Volatility - This is a measure of the amount by which a price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options of the Company’s shares, historical volatility of the Company’s shares, and other factors, such as expected changes in volatility arising from planned changes in the Company’s business operations. An increase in the expected volatility will increase compensation expense.
 
Risk-Free Interest Rate - This is the U.S. Treasury rate on the date of the grant having a term equal to the expected term of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase compensation expense.
 
Dividend Yield - We have never made any dividend payments and we have no plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease compensation expense.
 
Forfeiture Rate - This is the estimated percentage of options granted that are expected to be forfeited or canceled before becoming fully vested. An increase in the forfeiture rate will decrease compensation expense.

On June 29, 2006, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and certain other agreements described below, each effective as of June 23, 2006, with Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Deerfield L.P.”) and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited (“Deerfield International”), pursuant to which Deerfield L.P. and Deerfield International (collectively, “Deerfield”) purchased two secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.32 million and the second note in the amount of $6.68 million collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16.5 million shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million.

The $10 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23 million in outstanding subordinated debt and accrued unpaid interest with the Company’s former supplier AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”). The subordinated debt with ABDC consisted of a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million and a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million. Both original debt instruments were 5-year agreements maturing in September 2010. In connection with the Deerfield transaction, the Company and ABDC entered into a payoff and mutual release agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle and retire both existing debt instruments for a lump sum repayment of $10 million. Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“WFRF”), the Company’s senior lender, consented to the Company’s early repayment of the ABDC debt and waived any default under the Company’s credit facility with WFRF as a result of such repayment by entering into a Consent, Waiver and Second Amendment to such credit facility with the Company and its subsidiaries.

Principal on each of the Notes is due and payable in successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.166 million and $0.334 million, respectively, beginning on September 1, 2006 and on each December 1, March 1, June 1 and September 1 thereafter and continuing until June 23, 2011, on which date all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 2.5% for the first year, 5.0% for the second year, 10.0% for the third year, 15.0% for the fourth year and 17.5% for the fifth year. The Notes may be prepaid by the Company at anytime without penalty. Interest expense has been estimated over the five year period to be approximately $1.8 million (excludes the effect of amortization of the debt discount of $2.5 million discussed below) and due to the increasing interest rate on this debt, the Company will record the average quarterly interest expense and record a corresponding asset or liability for the difference not currently payable each quarter in cash.

9


The Notes contain usual and customary events of default for notes of these dollar amounts and provide that, upon the occurrence of an event default, the entire outstanding principal balance and all interest accrued under each note shall immediately become due and payable without demand or notice to the Company.
 
They are secured by subordinated security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries, Familymeds, Inc. (“Familymeds”) and Valley Drug Company South (“Valley South”). These subordinated security interests are evidenced by three security agreements: (i) a Security Agreement between the Company and Deerfield L.P., as agent for Deerfield (the “Agent”), (ii) a Security Agreement between Familymeds and the Agent, and (iii) a Security Agreement between Valley South and the Agent (collectively, the “Security Agreements”). The Security Agreements are expressly subordinated to the prior lien rights of WFRF pursuant to the Company’s existing credit facility with WFRF. Both Familymeds and Valley South have entered into guaranty agreements pursuant to which they have guaranteed all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes.
 
In connection with the issuance of these Notes, 16.5 million of stock warrants were issued as follows: warrants for 3.0 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.61 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.75 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.78 per share; and warrants for 2.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.92 per share. Proceeds from each warrant exercised by Deerfield will be used to equally repay the Notes and for the working capital needs of the Company. All of the Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the closing date. The Company has entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which it has agreed to file a registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 60 days of the closing date, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing of such registration statement.

In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” the Company allocated the proceeds received between the debt and the detachable warrants based upon the relative fair market values on the dates the proceeds were received. The net value allocated to the warrants was $2.5 million and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The $2.5 million has been recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the Notes, after giving effect to the amortization of the debt discount is approximately 17.0% annually.
 
In addition, the Company extinguished the ABDC Notes on June 23, 2006 which resulted in a gain on the extinguishment of $13.1 million.
 
NOTE 7 - INCOME TAXES
 
The Company incurred net income for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006. No income tax expense had been recorded in these periods due to the significant net operating losses available to the Company to offset such net income. The Company has established a valuation allowance on substantially all of its deferred tax assets due to the uncertainty of their realization. The Company incurred a net loss for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005.
 
NOTE 8 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
 
During fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company operated two drug distribution facilities: Valley Drug Company and Valley Drug Company South. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company determined that it would sell certain assets of the drug distribution business and eliminate operations conducted out of the New Castle, Pennsylvania facility and the St. Rose, Louisiana facility related to the distribution to independent pharmacies. Accordingly, as of October 1, 2005, the Company considered substantially all of the full-line wholesale drug distribution as discontinued operations for financial statement presentation purposes. In December 2005, Rochester Drug Cooperative (“RDC”) acquired certain assets from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Drug Company, including a customer list, furniture, fixtures and equipment located at the Company’s New Castle, Pennsylvania facility. In connection with the sale, RDC assumed certain property leases, customer and other miscellaneous contracts. The total purchase price for these select assets was $0.7 million, of which $0.4 million was received upon closing and $0.3 million is required to be paid if and when the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (“PIDA”) consents to a lease assignment of the New Castle facility to RDC. The Company expects payment of the $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2006.

10




In connection with the sale of these assets, the Company transferred a portion of the New Castle, Pennsylvania pharmaceutical inventory to the Company’s retail pharmacies as well as a portion to its St. Rose, Louisiana facility for continued distribution to the Company’s retail pharmacies and for use in the Valley Medical Supply operations.
 
Net revenues related to the discontinued operations were $0.0 million and $27.3 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively, and $0.0 million and $57.4 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations was $0.4 million and $1.7 million and $0.2 million and $3.0 million for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 9- CONTINGENCIES
 
There have been no significant changes in the status of the legal matters described in the Company’s fiscal 2005 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.
 
NOTE 10- NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations as a full valuation allowance has been established.
 
NOTE 11- SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 10, 2006, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from DrugMax, Inc. to Familymeds Group, Inc. and changed its trading symbol from DMAX to FMRX.

On August 14, 2006, the Company entered into a new employment agreement with James E. Searson, Senior Vice President and Chief Operations Officer. The initial term of Mr. Searson’s agreement terminates on May 2, 2008, and is subject to successive, automatic one-year renewals, unless one party notifies the other of its desire not to renew the agreement. The agreement provides a salary of $275,000, and for bonuses as determined by the board of directors. The agreement also contains standard termination provisions for disability, for cause, and for good reason, and it also contains confidentiality and non-competition provisions that prohibit Mr. Searson from disclosing certain information belonging to the Company and from competing against the Company. If the employment agreement is terminated other than for cause prior to May 2, 2008, the Company is required to continue to pay to Mr. Searson one year’s severance equal to the amount of the compensation to which he was entitled at the time of termination, subject to the terms of the agreement.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes found elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. This discussion, as well as the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, contain forward-looking statements based upon our current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, as set forth under “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.” Our actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors.
 
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
 
Certain oral statements made by management from time to time and certain statements contained in press releases and periodic reports issued by the Company, including those contained herein, that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Because such statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements, are statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations, estimates or projections of the Company, its directors or its officers about the Company and the industry in which it operates, and include among other items, statements regarding (a) the Company’s strategies regarding growth and business expansion, including its strategy of building an integrated specialty drug distribution platform with multiple sales channels through both organic growth and acquisitions, (b) its financing needs and plans, including its need for additional capital related to its growth plans, and (c) trends affecting its financial condition or results of operations. Although the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that the anticipated results will occur. When used in this report, the words “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Important factors that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among other items, (i) management’s ability to execute its strategy of growth and business expansion, (ii) management’s ability to identify and integrate new acquisitions, (iii) changes in the regulatory and general economic environment related to the health care and pharmaceutical industries, including possible changes in reimbursement for healthcare products and in manufacturers’ pricing or distribution policies, (iv) conditions in the capital markets or changes with regard to the Company's credit facilities, including interest rate increases, changes in the availability of capital and changes in the reserve under the Company's credit facility, (v) changes in the competitive marketplace that could affect the Company’s revenue and/or cost bases, such as increased competition, lack of qualified marketing, management or other personnel, and increased labor and inventory costs, and (vi) changes regarding the availability, supply chain and pricing of the products which the Company distributes, as well as the loss of one or more key suppliers for which alternative sources may not be available.

Further information relating to factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is included under the heading “Risk Factors” contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended, for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Company disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Overview

Familymeds Group, Inc. (“Familymeds Group,” the “Company,” or “we” and other similar pronouns) is a pharmacy and drug distribution provider formed by the merger on November 12, 2004 of DrugMax, Inc. and Familymeds Group, Inc. (“FMG”). The Company was formerly known as DrugMax, Inc. and on July 10, 2006, the Company amended its Articles of Incorporation to change its name from DrugMax, Inc. to Familymeds Group, Inc. and changed its trading symbol from DMAX to FMRX.

12




As of July 1, 2006, we operated 79 Company owned locations including 76 pharmacies, one home health center, one health and beauty location and one non-pharmacy mail order center, and 7 franchised pharmacies in 14 states under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names. We also operate a drug distribution business primarily focused on the direct distribution of specialty pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers from our warehouse located in St. Rose, Louisiana known as Valley Medical Supply or VMS.

Review of three month period ended July 1, 2006

The Company’s strategy since the sale of substantially all of its full-line wholesale drug distribution business in December of 2005 has been to focus on its core business which includes pharmacy operations, specialty sales, institutional sales, and direct distribution to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers. During the three month period ended July 1, 2006, we have taken the following steps to improve our operations:

·  
In April 2006, Familymeds.com, the Company’s online and mail-order provider, joined the HealthAllies discount program network. HealthAllies is part of the UnitedHealth Group family of companies and helps consumers reduce their out-of-pocket health care expenses by negotiating discounted rates on a variety of health-related services not traditionally covered by insurance.

·  
On April 17, 2006, the Company opened a closed door institutional pharmacy located in Farmington, Connecticut.
   
·  
On June 23, 2006, the Company retired the subordinated debt payable to AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation consisting of a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million and a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million. Familymeds and Amerisource agreed to settle and retire both of the existing debt instruments early for a lump sum payment of $10 million. Funds for the repayment came from a $10 million subordinated secured debt private placement with investment funds managed by Deerfield Management Company L.P. and related warrant purchase.

·  
On March 20, 2006, the Company received notice from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) that for the past 30-consecutive business days, the bid price of our common stock has closed below the $1.00 per share minimum requirement for continued inclusion on the Nasdaq Capital Market under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), we have been provided with 180-calendar days, or until September 18, 2006, to regain compliance with the minimum bid requirement. On June 23, 2006, the stockholders of the Company approved a proposal to empower the Board of Directors, in its discretion, to undertake a reverse stock split of Familymeds Group’s common stock at a ratio of between one-for-ten and one-for-two at any time on or prior March 31, 2007. We believe we can regain compliance with NASDAQ Market Place rules if we perform the reverse stock split.

Strategy
 
Our primary strategy is to build an integrated specialty drug pharmacy platform with multiple sales channels including: clinic and apothecary pharmacies, Worksite PharmaciesSM, institutional “closed door” type pharmacies, a central fill mail order based pharmacy and a pharmaceutical distribution center focused on medical specialty sales. We believe this can be accomplished through the present base of operations, through additional organic opening of new pharmacies and by acquiring pharmacies. We believe the integration of these types of locations will uniquely enable us to supply specialty drugs and other pharmaceuticals to patients, physicians and other healthcare providers.

13



 
 Our strategy is to locate specialty clinic and apothecary pharmacy operations near or in medical facilities. The strategy is driven by the location concept whereby situating a clinical or specialty type pharmacy near the point of acute or chronic care provides us with a “first capture” opportunity to service patients when they visit their physicians. This also enables us to collaborate with the physician in the therapeutic regimen and may provide opportunities for generic drug sales or alternative pharmaceutical therapy, which generally provide us with higher profit margins. Many of these patients or special patient groups require central fill and or mail order follow-up care that can be provided through our “closed door” pharmacy or mail order center located in Connecticut. We also supply online web based access to all or most of our services and products through our nationally known website, www.familymeds.com.

We offer a comprehensive selection of branded and generic prescription and non-prescription pharmaceuticals, specialty injectables, generic biologics, compounded medicines, healthcare-related products and diagnostic products. These products are used for the treatment of acute or chronic medical conditions and may be purchased through our platforms. Also, we have recently placed significant emphasis on the injectable and orally administered specialty pharmaceuticals. We intend to increase pharmacy revenues through these “Specialty Pharmaceuticals,” which generally are more expensive and provide a higher gross profit.

The Company’s strategy also includes selling specialty pharmaceuticals and healthcare products to physicians, home care providers and related healthcare providers including respiratory therapists and nurse practitioners that often re-administer these products to their patient immediately. We are executing this strategy by combining selling access through our existing physician relationships and medically based pharmacies with a sales force who actively pursues these practitioners as well as new potential practitioner customers. Our unique selling proposition to these practitioners is ease of obtaining product through same day delivery through our onsite pharmacies as well as our ability to supply the pharmaceutical to the physician already prepared and “ready to use.” As part of our service, we bill the physicians/patients payor/insurance carrier or Medicare under part B depending on the type of coverage each patient has. This strategy for distribution of pharmaceuticals will be ongoing and utilizes our wholesale authorized distribution agreements to obtain the drugs through the proper channel pricing and together with central and decentralized distribution to the practitioner customer depending on the customer needs.
 
The Company is also taking measures to reduce operating expenses by consolidating operations, and reducing corporate expenses.

Pharmacy Operations 

As of July 1, 2006, we operated 79 Company owned locations including 76 pharmacies, one home health center, one health and beauty location and one non-pharmacy mail order center, in 14 states under the Familymeds Pharmacy, Arrow Pharmacy & Nutrition Center, and Worksite PharmacySM brand names. We have 44 pharmacies which are located at the point of care between physicians and patients, oftentimes inside medical office buildings or on a medical campus. The balance of our locations are usually nearby medical facilities though more retail accessible. The majority of our revenues from pharmacy operations come from the sale of prescription pharmaceuticals, which represented approximately 93.7% and 93.9% of our net revenues for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006, respectively. Our corporate pharmacies provide services to approximately 400,000 acute or chronically ill patients each year, many with complex specialty and medical product needs.

We operate our pharmacies under the trade names Familymeds Pharmacy (“Familymeds”), Arrow Pharmacy and Nutrition Centers (“Arrow”) and Worksite PharmacySM. Familymeds is primarily used for pharmacies outside of New England. The Familymeds locations were primarily originated by acquiring the base pharmacy business from HMO’s, hospitals and regional independent operators. The locations are primarily clinic size with a small footprint, usually less than 1,500 sq. ft. The Arrow trade name is used in New England where most of the pharmacies were opened as a start-up or re-acquired from former Arrow franchise operators who opened these legacy pharmacy operations as start-ups. These locations are primarily apothecary size, approximately 2,000 sq. ft. and may be more visible as retail type locations, though primarily nearby hospitals or medical campus locations. Our locations in Michigan and certain locations elsewhere throughout our trading area may have a larger footprint to accommodate a comprehensive inventory of nutritional and home medical supplies.

By our estimates, we believe there are more than 5,000 locations nationwide at or near the point of care which may be available to open additional pharmacies. Because of our experience with operating pharmacies in similar locations, we believe we are uniquely positioned to target these sites and increase our core pharmacy market presence. We also believe that we can grow our pharmacy operations through selective acquisitions. By increasing our location count, through selective acquisitions or the opening of new pharmacies at or near the point of medical care, we believe we can increase our customer base, expand our geographic reach and improve profitability by leveraging our existing infrastructure.

Our strategy also includes offering our customers or patients multiple sales channels by which they can purchase our products. We offer them the opportunity to purchase a broad array of health-related products online including a comprehensive selection of prescription medications, vitamins and nutritional supplements, home medical equipment, and health and beauty aids directly from our pharmacies, by mail order, and via the Internet. Familymeds.com is the foundation of our Internet offering. This website is one of the few sites certified as a Verified Internet Pharmacy Provider Site (VIPPS) by the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP). The VIPPS program is a voluntary certification program designed to approve and identify online pharmacies that are appropriately licensed and prepared to practice Internet pharmacy. Familymeds.com is the non-prescription Internet commerce partner for select prescription benefit managers (PBMs) including Medco Health. We will continue to pursue opportunities to partner with managed care and others providers to increase our sales through our Internet sales channel.

Worksite PharmacySM

We operate and locate Worksite Pharmacies SM (pharmacies that service a single, defined population) for large employers who are seeking to control overall employee prescription drug benefit expenditures while maintaining high employee satisfaction through improved accessibility. Our Worksite Pharmacies SM offer prescription services exclusively to the employer’s covered population. We can deliver these services at or near the employer’s work site by opening, staffing and managing a pharmacy. Our initial results have proven that this strategy reduces healthcare costs for the employer. Our research has shown that many employers, especially large Fortune 500 companies are seeking more aggressive methods to control healthcare expenditures, especially the pharmacy component of benefits. We have identified key large employers, those with over 2,000 employees in a single location, to be target opportunities for this type of Employer Sponsored Worksite PharmacySM. Currently, we have a Worksite Pharmacy SM in the employee center of the Mohegan Sun Casino in Connecticut and Scotts Company L.L.C headquarters in Merryville, Ohio. Combined, these employers have more than 14,000 employees and dependents as potential patients.

Net revenues from Worksite PharmaciesSM increased by $1.1 million or 122.2% from $0.9 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005 to $2.0 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006. Approximately $0.3 million, or 27.3% on a comparable same location basis, of the $1.1 million increase related to growth within our existing Worksite pharmacy. The remaining $0.8 million of the $1.1 million increase related to the opening of a new Worksite Pharmacy effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2006.

Net revenues from Worksite PharmaciesSM increased by $2.2 million or 129.4% from $1.7 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005 to $3.9 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006. Approximately $0.5 million, or 29.4% on a comparable same location basis, of the $2.2 million increase related to growth within our existing Worksite pharmacy. The remaining $1.7 million of the $2.2 million increase related to the opening of a new Worksite Pharmacy effective at the beginning of the first quarter of 2006.

Valley Medical Supply

In February 2006, we reopened and began providing distribution services from our St. Rose, Louisiana facility which had previously been closed due to Hurricane Katrina. We reconfigured and replenished the warehouse to facilitate the direct distribution of pharmaceuticals to physicians, medical clinics and other health care providers. These operations are known as Valley Medical Supply.

Revenues from these operations for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 were $4.2 million compared to $0.8 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005, an increase of $3.4 million or 425.0%. Revenues from these operations for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 were $5.1 million compared to $1.5 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005, an increase of $3.6 million or 240.0%.We expect the revenues attributable to this business to increase during the subsequent quarters in 2006.

Patient Compliance

We have developed programs designed to improve patient compliance and to reduce costs. We have three major programs, a prescription compliance program called Reliable Refill, a discount plan called Senior Save15 and a telephony system designed to notify patients of recalls, provide refill reminders and notify our customers of other important information. Reliable Refill is a compliance program that identifies prescriptions that are due to be filled and schedules them for filling before the patient has run out of the previous prescriptions. Our Senior Save15 program, introduced prior to the Medicare Modernization Act, is our own discount program that gives senior customers access to all of our prescription and over-the-counter products at discounted prices. Our programs are designed to improve medication therapy management among patients with chronic therapeutic needs especially the elderly population. Our data warehouse allows us to identify and target patients with special needs.
 
Technology Improvements and Electronic Prescription Solutions

During the three month period ended July 1, 2006, we continued installing and upgrading our pharmacy management system and our home medical billing software. Upgrades include management of dispensing workflow, electronic signature capture, and improved data management. We believe the improvements to the pharmacy management system will provide value added services to our customers, increased billing capacity and better data management capabilities.

Additionally, we are implementing electronic prescription solutions to include the ability to accept delivery of prescriptions through electronic prescribing software technologies. Our pharmacies are able to accept receipt of electronic prescription orders and refill authorizations with secure, reliable transmission directly from physician practices.
 
Medicare Part D

Pharmacy sales trends are expected to continue to grow due, in part, to the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit. As of January 1, 2006, Medicare beneficiaries have the opportunity to receive subsidized prescription drug coverage through the Medicare Part D program. The new drug benefit is delivered by competing plans, and our pharmacies have contracted with each of the major providers to ensure our customers can continue purchasing their prescriptions from our pharmacies. While the new Medicare drug benefit is entirely voluntary, we believe a significant portion of the Medicare population will enjoy this new benefit. During the three month period ended July 1, 2006, net revenues from prescriptions filled under Medicare Part D plans substantially increased compared to the three month period ended April 1, 2006 . For the three month periods ended April 1, 2006 and July 1, 2006 Medicare Part D prescriptions represented 14.8% and 19.8% ,of total prescription sales, respectively. The gross margin from this business is less than what the traditional prescription drug plans provide and the accounts receivable days outstanding is more than what the traditional prescription drug plans.
 
While the percentage of prescriptions filled through a Medicare Part D plan has continued to increase through July 1, 2006, Medicare Part D plans do not provide coverage for annual drug costs of the beneficiary between $2,250 and $5,100 (sometimes referred to as the “donut hole”). As seniors enter the donut hole, it is unclear what effect, if any, this will have on our revenues or results of operations.

Supply Chain Management

During the three month period ended April 2, 2005, the Company’s primary supplier, AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation, supplied pharmaceuticals and related products directly to our pharmacy and non-pharmacy locations on a 5 day per week basis. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, the Company began purchasing its products from D&K Healthcare Resources. Under the terms of this agreement, D&K delivered products directly to our distribution center in St. Rose, Louisiana. The products were then distributed to our locations from our full-line wholesale drug distribution facility located in St. Rose, Louisiana based upon the specific needs of the location twice per week.

Because of higher purchasing costs due to our inability to buy on a more credit worthy basis during fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company began to experience a decrease in its ability to supply products to its customers and a decline in our gross margin, resulting in the Company amending its agreement with D&K (which was assumed by McKesson Corporation in August of 2005). Pursuant to the amended agreement, in February 2006, McKesson began supplying products directly to our locations on a 5 day per week basis. As a result, we believe our ability to manage our supply chain has improved.

The amended agreement requires us to purchase primarily all of our products for sale in our pharmacies from McKesson. It contains certain volume requirements and has an initial term of two years, through December 2006, and renews automatically for successive one-year periods unless either party provides the other party a written non-renewal notice. While, we believe that if we were unable to purchase products directly from McKesson we could secure the same products through other sources, including other distributors or directly from the manufacturers, there is a risk that our costs would increase and our supply could be interrupted affecting our net revenues if our primary supplier agreement were to be terminated.  

Hurricane Katrina 
 
In September 2005, Hurricane Katrina resulted in the temporary closure of the warehouse facility located in St. Rose, Louisiana. The Company maintains insurance coverage, which provides for reimbursement from losses resulting from property damage, loss of product and losses from business interruption. The Company estimates approximately $0.2 million of inventory was damaged during the hurricane and that it incurred approximately $0.8 million of incremental costs related to closing the facility and relocating the inventory and operations to our New Castle facility. The Company has evaluated the extent of the loss from business interruption and is attempting to recover these costs through insurance claims. No amounts have been recorded related to amounts that may be received from insurance.
 
Discontinued Operations

During fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, the Company operated two drug distribution facilities: Valley Drug Company and Valley Drug Company South. During the third quarter of 2005, the Company determined that it would sell certain assets of the drug distribution business and eliminate operations conducted out of the New Castle, Pennsylvania facility and the St. Rose, Louisiana facility related to the distribution to independent pharmacies. Accordingly, as of October 1, 2005, the Company considered substantially all of the wholesale distribution business as discontinued operations for financial statement presentation purposes. In December 2005, Rochester Drug Cooperative (“RDC”) acquired certain assets from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Valley Drug Company, including a customer list, furniture, fixtures and equipment located at the Company’s New Castle, Pennsylvania facility. In connection with the sale, RDC assumed certain property leases, customer and other miscellaneous contracts. The total purchase price for these select assets was $0.7 million, of which $0.4 million was received upon closing and $0.3 million is required to be paid if and when the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (“PIDA”) consents to a lease assignment of the New Castle facility to RDC. The Company expects payment of the $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2006.

17




In connection with the sale of these assets, the Company transferred a portion of the New Castle, Pennsylvania pharmaceutical inventory to the Company’s retail pharmacies as well as a portion to its St. Rose, Louisiana facility for continued distribution to the Company’s retail pharmacies and for use in the Valley Medical Supply operations.
 
Net revenues related to the discontinued operations were $0.0 million and $27.3 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively and $0.0 million and $57.4 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.  The loss from discontinued operations was $0.4 million and $1.7 million and $0.2 million and $3.0 million for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.
 
Comparison of Operating Results for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005.

We refer to prescription products as Rx products and to the remaining products, such as over-the-counter medications, home medical equipment and home health appliances, as non-Rx products. While non-Rx reflects a smaller percentage of our overall revenues, the gross margin for non-Rx products is higher. The Rx portion of the pharmacy business is dependent upon a number of third party payors that pay a portion or all of the Rx cost on behalf of the customers, “Third Party Customers.” Prescriptions generated by Third Party Customers represented approximately 93.7% and 94.2% and 93.6% and 94.0%, respectively Rx revenues for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005, respectively.

For financial statement presentation purposes, the Company has reported substantially all of the full-line wholesale drug distribution as discontinued operations.

Gross Margin

Gross margin was $11.9 million or 19.6% for the three month period ended July 1, 2006. This compares to $11.0 million or 20.1% for the three month period ended July 2, 2005. Gross margin was $22.8 million or 19.5% for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 compared to $23.0 million or 20.6% for the six month period ended July 2, 2005. The decrease reflects the adverse effect of the efforts of managed care organizations, pharmacy benefit managers and other third party payors to reduce their prescription costs. In recent years, our industry has undergone significant changes driven by various efforts to reduce costs. As employers and managed care organizations continue to focus on the costs of branded and specialty pharmaceuticals, we expect there will continue to be negative pressure on gross margins. In addition, gross margin percentage is expected to be negatively impacted because of the recent addition of Medicare Part D and other efforts by third party payors to reduce reimbursement rates. The Company, like several others in the pharmacy industry, continues to experience a significant negative impact on gross margins due to the increasing number of prescriptions filled under Medicare Part D. For the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 Medicare Part D prescriptions represented 19.8% and 17.3% of total prescription sales, respectively.

Operating Expenses
 
Operating expenses include selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses, depreciation and amortization expense. Total operating expenses were $15.3 million or 25.2% of net revenues for the three month period ended July 1, 2006. This compared to $15.1 million or 27.7% of net revenues for the three month period ended July 2, 2005. Total operating expenses were $29.2 million or 25.0% of net revenues for the six month period ended July 1, 2006. This compared to $30.3 million or 27.1% of net revenues for the six month period ended July 2, 2005. Information that helps explain our operating expense trend is detailed below:

(1)
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three month period ended July 1, 2006 over the period ended July 2, 2005 is primarily due to increases in payroll and benefits of $0.9 million, temporary labor of $0.3 million, recruiting costs of $0.3 million, insurance of $0.1 million and expenses related to Valley Medical Supply of $0.5 million offset by a decrease in employee stock option expense of $1.8 million. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the six month period ended July 1, 2006 over the same period ended July 2, 2005 is primarily due to a decrease in employee stock option expense of $3.7 million, partially offset by increases in payroll and benefits of $1.2 million, temporary labor of $0.4 million, recruiting of $0.4 million, insurance of $0.2 million and expenses related to Valley Medical Supply of $0.7 million.
(2)
The decrease in depreciation and amortization is primarily due to fully amortized prescription files.
 
Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 included a gain on the extinguishment of the debt of $13.1 million. We extinguished this debt on June 23, 2006. There was no amounts related to the gain on extinguishment of this debt for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2005.

Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense was $1.4 million for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 versus $1.4 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005.  There was no change in the amount of interest expense for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 compared to the three month period ended July 2, 2005 as higher interest rates were offset by lower average outstanding balances.  Interest expense was $2.8 million for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 versus $2.2 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005.  The increase for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 was due to higher interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness with variable rates.

19



Income Taxes
 
No income taxes have been recorded in any period presented due to the uncertainty of realization of any related deferred tax asset.
 
Net Income (Loss)
 
Net income for the three month period ended July 1, 2006 was $7.8 million versus a net loss of $7.1 million for the three month period ended July 2, 2005.  Net income for the six month period ended July 1, 2006 was $3.8 million versus a net loss of $12.2 million for the six month period ended July 2, 2005.  Factors impacting these results are discussed above.

Inflation and Seasonality
 
Management believes that inflation had no material effect on the operations or our financial condition for the three and six month periods ended July 1, 2006 and July 2, 2005. Management does not believe that our business is materially impacted by seasonality; however, significant promotional activities can have a direct impact on net revenues for our distribution operations in any given quarter.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
At July 1, 2006, we had a working capital deficit of $11.7 million. Our working capital deficit is affected by our classification of our revolving credit facility as a current liability as required under EITF issue No. 95-22, “Balance Sheet Classification of Borrowings Outstanding under Revolving Credit Agreements That Include Both a Subjective Acceleration Clause and a Lock Box Arrangement.” Our revolving credit facility has a contractual life until October 12, 2010. If this liability was classified as a long term liability our working capital deficit would be improved by approximately $38.2 million resulting in working capital of $26.5 million.
 
We have financed our operations and have met our capital requirements primarily through private issuances of equity securities, convertible notes, bank borrowings, trade creditors and cash generated from operations.  Our principal sources of liquidity as of July 1, 2006, consisted of cash and cash equivalents of approximately $3.0 million along with approximately $2.6 million in availability under our $65.0 million revolving credit facility.

Provided that we can continue to successfully execute our growth strategies, and reduce overhead expenses, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and revolving credit facility will be sufficient to fund operating losses, capital expenditures, debt service and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months based on our current terms with our suppliers. However, there can be no assurance that events in the future, including without limitation any changed terms imposed upon us by our suppliers or any increase in our reserve imposed under our credit facility will not require us to seek additional capital and, if so required, that capital will be available on terms favorable or acceptable to us, if at all.

Credit Facility

On October 12, 2005, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“WFRF”), pursuant to which WFRF will provide the Company with a senior secured revolving credit facility up to $65.0 million (the “New Credit Facility”). On that same date the Company terminated its $65 million Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) and in connection therewith repaid all outstanding amounts due under the credit facility to GECC along with a $0.5 million termination fee. The $65.0 million of maximum availability under the New Credit Facility is reduced by a $7.0 million reserve. While the credit facility currently does not require compliance with financial covenants, the Company has the ability to reduce this reserve by $3.5 million by agreeing to implement one or more financial covenants. Available credit is based on eligible receivables, inventory and prescription files, as defined in and determined pursuant to the agreement, and may be subject to reserves as determined by the lender from time to time. Interest on the revolving line of credit is calculated at the prime index rate plus an applicable prime margin (as defined in the agreement), unless the Company or the lender chooses to convert the loan to a LIBOR-based loan. In each case, interest is adjusted quarterly. The applicable prime index margin as of July 1, 2006 was 8.25%. As of July 1, 2006, the interest rate, including applicable margin, used to calculate accrued interest was 8.5%. Interest is payable monthly.

20



The New Credit Facility includes usual and customary events of default (subject to applicable grace periods) for facilities of this nature and provides that, upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts payable under the New Credit Facility may be accelerated and/or the lenders’ commitments may be terminated. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy related events of default, all amounts payable under the New Credit Facility shall automatically become immediately due and payable, and the lenders’ commitments shall automatically terminate.

The New Credit Facility includes an early termination fee of $0.7 million if paid in full before October 12, 2008. The New Credit Facility is secured by substantially all assets of the Company. As of July 1, 2006, $38.2 million was outstanding on the line and $2.6 million was available for additional borrowings, based on eligible receivables, inventory and prescription files.
 
Retired Subordinated Note and Convertible Debenture

On March 22, 2005, we converted $23.0 million in accounts payable owed to AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”) (after having repaid $6.0 million on March 23, 2005 in connection with the closing of the new vendor supply agreement) into (a) a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million (the “Subordinated Convertible Debenture”) and (b) a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million (the “Subordinated Note”).

As further described below, on June 29, 2006, the Company and ABDC entered into an agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle and retire both existing debt instruments for a lump sum repayment of $10 million.
 
The Subordinated Convertible Debenture and Subordinated Note were guaranteed by Familymeds Group and certain of Familymeds Group’s subsidiaries, including Valley Drug Company, Valley Drug Company South, Familymeds, Inc. and Familymeds Holdings, Inc. pursuant to Continuing Guaranty Agreements dated as of March 21, 2005. We also entered into a subordinated security agreement dated as of March 21, 2005, pursuant to which we agreed that upon the occurrence of certain defaults and the passage of applicable cure periods we shall be deemed at that point to have granted to ABDC a springing lien upon and a security interest in substantially all of our assets to secure the Subordinated Convertible Debenture and the Subordinated Note.

Pursuant to the Subordinated Note, principal was due and payable in 20 successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.6 million through September 1, 2010, on which date all outstanding amounts are required to be paid. The Subordinated Note interest was a variable rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.0% per annum. The interest rate adjusted on each quarterly payment date based upon the prime rate in effect on each such quarterly payment date; provided that in no event would the interest rate in effect be less than 5.0% per annum or greater than 10% per annum. Interest accrued on the unpaid principal balance of the Subordinated Note is due and payable on each quarterly payment date and interest payments commenced on June 1, 2005. Interest of $0.3 million was expensed during the three month period ended July 1, 2006.

Pursuant to the Subordinated Convertible Debenture, principal was due and payable in 19 successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.6 million commencing on March 1, 2006 and continuing until August 15, 2010, on which date all outstanding amounts were required to be paid. Quarterly principal payments were paid in shares of common stock in an amount equal to $0.6 million divided by $3.4416 (the “Issue Price”). The Subordinated Convertible Debenture interest rate was adjusted on each quarterly payment date and was equal to (a) 10%, if the quarterly interest payment is made in common stock or (b) the prime rate on the date the quarterly interest payment is due plus 1% per annum, if the quarterly interest payment was made in cash; provided that in no event would the interest rate in effect be less than 5.0% per annum or greater than 10% per annum.

Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement

On June 29, 2006, we entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement and certain other agreements, each effective as of June 23, 2006, with Deerfield Special Situations Fund, L.P. (“Deerfield L.P.”) and Deerfield Special Situations Fund International, Limited (“Deerfield International”), pursuant to which Deerfield L.P. and Deerfield International (collectively, “Deerfield”) purchased two secured promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $10 million (one note in the principal amount of $3.32 million and the second note in the amount of $6.68 million collectively the “Notes”) and eight warrants to purchase an aggregate of 16.5 million shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock (the “Warrants”), for an aggregate purchase price of $10 million.

The $10 million purchase price for the Notes and Warrants was used entirely for an early repayment, settlement and termination of approximately $23 million in outstanding subordinated debt with Familymeds Group’s former supplier AmerisourceBergen Drug Corporation (“ABDC”). The subordinated debt with ABDC consisted of a subordinated convertible debenture in the original principal amount of $11.5 million and a subordinated promissory note in the original principal amount of $11.5 million. Both original debt instruments were 5-year agreements maturing in September 2010. In connection with the Deerfield transaction, Familymeds Group and ABDC entered into a payoff and mutual release agreement pursuant to which the parties agreed to settle and retire both existing debt instruments for a lump sum repayment of $10 million. Wells Fargo Retail Finance, LLC (“WFRF”), the Company’s senior lender, consented to Familymeds Group’s early repayment of the ABDC debt and waived any default under Familymeds Group’s credit facility with WFRF as a result of such repayment by entering into an amendment to such credit facility with Familymeds Group and its subsidiaries.

Principal on each of the Notes is due and payable in successive quarterly installments each in the amount of $0.166 million and $0.334 million respectively, beginning on September 1, 2006 and on each December 1, March 1, June 1 and September 1 thereafter and continuing until June 23, 2011, on which date all outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is due. The Notes bear interest at a rate equal to 2.5% for the first year, 5.0% for the second year, 10.0% for the third year, 15.0% for the fourth year and 17.5% for the fifth year. The Notes may be prepaid at anytime without penalty. Interest expense has been estimated over the five year period to be approximately $1.8 million (excludes the effect of amortization of the debt discount of $2.5 million discussed below) and due to the increasing interest rate, the Company will record the average interest expense and record a corresponding asset or liability for the difference not currently payable each quarter in cash.
 
In accordance with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 14 “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” the Company allocated the proceeds received between the debt and the detachable warrants based upon the relative fair market values on the dates the proceeds were received. The net value allocated to the warrants was $2.5 million and was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. The $2.5 million has been recorded as debt discount and will be amortized over the life of the related debt using the effective interest method. The effective interest rate on the Notes, after giving effect to the amortization of the debt discount is approximately 17.0% annually.
 
The Notes contain usual and customary events of default for notes of these dollar amounts and provide that, upon the occurrence of an event default, the entire outstanding principal balance and all interest accrued under each note shall immediately become due and payable without demand or notice to the Company. They are secured by subordinated security interests in substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries Familymeds, Inc. (“Familymeds”) and Valley Drug Company South (“Valley South”). These subordinated security interests are evidenced by three security agreements: (i) a Security Agreement between the Company and Deerfield L.P., as agent for Deerfield (the “Agent”), (ii) a Security Agreement between Familymeds and the Agent, and (iii) a Security Agreement between Valley South and the Agent (collectively, the “Security Agreements”). The Security Agreements are expressly subordinated to the prior lien rights of WFRF pursuant to the Company’s existing credit facility with WFRF. Both Familymeds and Valley South have entered into guaranty agreements pursuant to which they have guaranteed all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes.

In connection with the issuance of these Notes, 16.5 million of stock warrants were issued as follows: warrants for 3.0 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.61 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.75 per share; warrants for 5.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.78 per share; and warrants for 2.5 million common shares were issued at an exercise price of $0.92 per share. Proceeds from each warrant exercised by Deerfield will be used to equally repay the Notes and for the working capital needs of the Company. All of the Warrants are exercisable for a period of five years from the closing date. The Company has entered into an Investor Rights Agreement with Deerfield, pursuant to which it has agreed to file a registration statement with respect to the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants within 60 days of the closing date, and to use its reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing of such registration statement.


New Accounting Standards

In June 2006, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” (“FIN 48”) an interpretation of Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation requires that the Company recognize in the financial statements, the impact of a tax position, if that position is more likely than not of being sustained on audit, based on the technical merits of the position. FIN 48 also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods and disclosure. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective beginning January 1, 2007 with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company does not believe it will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations as a full valuation allowance has been established.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
  
We do not make use of any off-balance sheet arrangements that currently have or that we expect are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. We utilize operating leases for substantially all of our locations. We do not use special-purpose entities in any of our leasing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) contains a discussion of the Company’s condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements, that have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, we evaluate estimates and judgments, including the most significant judgments and estimates. We based our estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other facts that are believed to be 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. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Our critical accounting policies include: assessing merger goodwill and identifiable intangible assets for impairment, assessing other long-lived assets for impairment, evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts, and estimating for inventory loss reserves.

Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets
 
Useful lives for identifiable intangibles are determined based on the expected future period of benefit of the asset, the assessment of which considers various characteristics of the asset, including historical cash flows. After goodwill is initially recorded, annual impairment tests are required, or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. The amount of goodwill cannot exceed the excess of the fair value of the related reportable unit (which is based on the Company’s stock price) over the fair value of reporting units identifiable assets and liabilities. Continued downward movement in the Company’s common stock price could have a material effect on the fair value of goodwill in future measurement periods. As of July 1, 2006, goodwill was $1.4 million.
 
Impairment of Other Long-lived Assets

The Company reviews other long-lived assets, including property, equipment and prescription file intangible assets, to be held and used for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the undiscounted expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the related assets, the Company recognizes an impairment loss. Impairment losses are measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets, including prescription file intangible assets, exceeds the future cash flows for the assets. For purposes of recognizing and measuring impairment of other long-lived assets, the Company evaluates assets at the location level for pharmacy operations.

25

 
Our impairment loss calculations contain uncertainty since we must use judgment to estimate future revenues, profitability and cash flows. When preparing these estimates, we consider historical results and current operating trends and our consolidated revenues, profitability and cash flow results and forecasts. These estimates can be affected by a number of factors including, but not limited to, general economic conditions, the cost of real estate, the continued efforts of third party customers to reduce their prescription drug costs, regulatory changes the continued efforts of competitors to gain market share and consumer spending patterns. If these projections change in the future, we may be required to write-down our long-lived assets. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment include property and equipment as well as intangible assets, which as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $10.7 million and $9.8 million, respectively.

Trade Receivables

At July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, trade receivables reflected approximately $18.0 million and $15.7 million, respectively, of amounts due from various insurance companies, governmental agencies and individual customers. Of these amounts, there was approximately $2.5 million and $2.8 million reserved as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, for a balance of net trade receivables of $15.5 million and $12.9 million, respectively. We use historical experience, market trends and other analytical data to estimate our allowance for doubtful accounts. Based upon these factors, the reserve at July 1, 2006 is considered adequate. Although we believe that the reserve estimate is reasonable, actual results could differ from our estimate, and such differences could be material. If the estimate is too low, we may incur higher bad debt expenses in the future resulting in lower net income or higher net losses. If the estimate is too high, we may experience lower bad debt expense in the future resulting in higher net income or lower net losses.

Inventories

Inventories consist of pharmaceuticals and other retail merchandise owned by us. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method for pharmaceutical inventory and retail method for retail merchandise inventory) or market. Physical inventory counts are taken on a regular basis in each location to ensure that the amounts reflected in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are properly stated. We use historical data to estimate our inventory loss reserves and we have not made any material changes in the accounting methodology used to establish our inventory loss reserves during the past three years. If the estimate of inventory losses is too low we may incur higher cost of sales in the future resulting in lower net income or higher net losses. If the estimate of inventory losses incurred is too high, we may experience lower cost of sales in the future resulting in higher net income or lower net losses. Inventories as of July 1, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were approximately $27.5 million and $30.6 million, respectively, net of approximately $2.1 million and $2.1 million of inventory loss reserves, respectively.

 

We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments to address market risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
  
 We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

26

 
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.  In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 
 
There has been no significant change in the status of the legal matters described in the Company’s fiscal 2005 Form 10-K, as amended.


There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors described in the Company’s fiscal 2005 Form 10-K, as amended.

Accordingly, commencing at the start of trading on August 16, 2006, the Company’s common stock will begin trading at the split-adjusted level and for a period of 20-trading days thereafter the Company’s common stock will trade on a post-split basis under the trading symbol “FMRXD”. After this 20-trading day period, the Company’s common stock will resume trading under the symbol “FMRX.”

The Reverse Stock Split was effectuated through the filing of a certificate of amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation with the State of Nevada.
 
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, each ten shares of common stock was automatically combined and reclassified into one share of common stock and the total number of shares outstanding was reduced from approximately 66,351,423 shares to approximately 6,635,142 shares. However, the number of authorized shares of the Company capital stock and the par value per share remain unchanged.
 
No scrip or fractional certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of old shares not evenly divisible by 10 will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing such shares, to a cash payment in lieu thereof. The cash payment will be based on the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the effective date of the reverse stock split. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder thereof any voting, dividend or other rights except to receive payment therefore as described herein.
 
The exercise or conversion price, as well as the number of shares that can be issued, under the Company’s outstanding stock options and warrants, will be proportionately adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The number of shares reserved for issuance under the Company’s stock option plan and restricted stock plan will also be reduced proportionately.
 
The Company’s Stockholders authorized the Board of Directors to undertake the reverse stock split at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders on June 23, 2006.

The purpose of the Reverse Stock Split is to increase the per-share market price of the common stock in order to regain compliance with The Nasdaq Capital Market’s minimum bid price requirement, as well as to encourage investor interest in the Company and to promote greater liquidity for the stockholders.
 
The Company’s transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, will act as exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates and will communicate with stockholders informing them of how to voluntarily exchange their certificates representing old shares in exchange for certificates representing new shares.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
  
Familymeds Group, Inc. Announces One-for-Ten Reverse Stock Split
Effective August 16, 2006

 
Farmington, CT, August 16, 2006 - Familymeds Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: FMRX), a specialty pharmacy and medical specialty product provider, today announced that a one-for-ten reverse split of its common stock was approved by its Board of Directors pursuant to discretionary authority granted by shareholders at the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders held June 23, 2006. The reverse stock split will take effect upon the opening of trading today, Wednesday, August 16, 2006, at which time Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis under the interim trading symbol “FMRXD” for a period of 20 trading days. Upon the opening of trading September 14, 2006, the common stock is expected to resume trading under the symbol “FMRX.”
 
As a result of the reverse stock split, every ten shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock outstanding as of the opening of trading today, Wednesday, August 16th, will be combined into one share of Familymeds Group Inc. common stock. The reverse stock split affects all shares of common stock including underlying stock options and warrants outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse split. The number of shares of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock currently outstanding is approximately 66 million. The reverse split is expected to reduce the number of shares of common stock outstanding to approximately 6.6 million.
 
The purpose of the one-for-ten reverse stock split is to raise the market price of Familymeds Group, Inc. common stock in order to maintain compliance with the continued listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market. The continued listing requirements for the Nasdaq Capital Market require the Company to maintain a minimum bid of at least $1.00 per share. Additionally, the Board believes the reverse stock split will encourage investor interest in the Company and promote greater liquidity for the stockholders.
 
Ed Mercadante, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Familymeds Group, Inc. stated, “We believe now is the optimal time to implement this action given our strong upward sales momentum and demonstrated ability to execute our organic growth plan. We expect this reverse split will raise the share price of our common stock and enable us to regain compliance with the Nasdaq Capital Market’s listing maintenance standards while also facilitating a more appropriate number of shares outstanding relative to the size of the Company. Backed by solid execution and favorable business outlook, a higher sustained stock price may help to generate greater interest in our securities among a broader universe of potential investors and analysts, and may also improve our ability to attract and retain quality employees as we expand our sales channel with new pharmacies. We appreciate the discretionary authority granted by our shareholders to our Board of Directors which enabled them to effect this reverse stock split.”
 
Shareholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or "street name" will not be required to take any action to effect the exchange of their shares. Shareholders of record who hold physical certificates will receive a letter of transmittal from the Company requesting that they surrender their old stock certificates for new stock certificates reflecting the adjusted number of shares as a result of the reverse stock split. Computershare Trust Corporation, Familymeds’ transfer agent, will act as the exchange agent for purposes of implementing the exchange of stock certificates. No scrip or fractional certificates will be issued in connection with the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares because they hold a number of old shares not evenly divisible by 10 will be entitled, upon surrender of certificate(s) representing such shares, to a cash payment in lieu thereof. The cash payment will be based on the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock as reported on Nasdaq for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the effective date of the reverse stock split. The ownership of a fractional interest will not give the holder thereof any voting, dividend or other rights except to receive payment therefore as described herein.
